Build a game empire from scratch

Journey Prosthetics Inc.

Wearing a silver headband, Xia Yi sat on the chair blankly, looking at her right leg, which was almost indistinguishable, and fell into silence for a while.

Although she has a different love for pure metal prosthetics.

But when Journey’s prosthetics engineer asked her, “Do you want a [full simulation] prosthetic that’s a little cumbersome to put on, or a traditional prosthetic that’s easy to disassemble and assemble?”

She almost didn't think about it, she chose [full artificial prosthetic] with an almost lifelike appearance.

The most advanced simulated skin and subcutaneous bones, high-sensitivity pressure sensors, plus neural modem signal translation.

When she stretched out her hand and carefully touched the simulated skin of the prosthetic right leg, her fingers flicked lightly, and her brain told her so clearly that her right leg was being touched.

She stuck her two feet together side by side. The engineer's wonderful craftsmanship made the two feet look almost flawless, even the blue blood vessels under the skin were exactly the same.

She moved the soles of her feet, and tried to raise her thumb and little finger.

Very flexible, each toe is dexterous and obedient.

There is no delay, no falsehood, the feeling is so real.

Xia Yi always thought that she had gotten used to it and accepted the fact that her right leg would never come back.

When the virtual reality game was born, she felt even more that the last regret was gone.

But until now, she touched her left leg lightly with her left hand, brushed her right leg with her right hand, and both legs gave the exact same feedback at the same time.

Reason tells Xia Yi that the right leg is fake.

But the feeling told her: This is true!

She burst into tears suddenly and without warning.

The engineer beside him sighed in understanding, and handed Xia Yi a few tissues.

Xia Yi took it over, wiped her tears, and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you."

She still has a lot to say and a lot of questions to ask.

For example, "Your technology is really amazing!"

"Such prosthetics must be expensive, right?"

"I really appreciate you guys!"

"I'm sorry, I almost leaked the truth, and even blamed Yunmeng..."

But she wiped more and more tears, and finally could only say thank you.

After finally calming down, the engineer began to tell her about the maintenance details of the prosthetic limb.

Fully simulated prosthetics are not as durable as traditional prosthetics, and they are troublesome to scratch. This is also the price of pursuing the ultimate simulation.

Xia Yi was mentally prepared and made up her mind to work harder in the future, so as not to be unable to support her in the end.

But her psychological construction was completely in vain.

"This is a trial model. Your trial experience can also enrich our database, so it's free." The engineer told her not to worry about the price. "The other one is a warranty card. You are a VIP customer specially ordered by the boss. Backed by our lifetime warranty."

"Ah? Really?" Xia Yi was surprised.

Because she felt that she was a little better than acquainted with Lin You, and she really couldn't be considered very familiar...

"Of course it's true. When the prosthetic limb project started, the boss told you what to do."

"Boss Lin..." Xia Yi thought for a while, and then said: "Love and righteousness."

After saying this, she felt guilty for a moment: She had just given Yunmeng a wave of rhythm, and she didn't know how Lin You felt when she saw the hot search.

Xia Yi thought for a while, touched her right leg again, and finally confessed with a guilty conscience: "I may have caused you some trouble..."

"Huh?" The engineer looked at her in confusion.

In the afternoon, Lin You, who was fishing in the virtual world and watching players react to the appearance of "John Wick", received a call from Kong Xinsheng.

Kong Xinsheng has been busy ever since he was approached by Lin You.

While discussing the establishment of the company, he also quickly formed a team of engineers to develop a new generation of non-invasive brain-controlled prosthetic technology based on neural signal translation technology.

These days, although the technology has landed, Kong Xinsheng is still busy.

It's just that the work content has changed from "research and development" to "establishing a product line", busy turning "technology" into "commodity".

This also caused him to have no time to care about what happened on the Internet. It wasn't until Xia Yi mentioned it that he realized that he seemed to have caused trouble for the "parent company" Yunmeng.

Kong Xinsheng asked Lin You: "Do you want to release the brain-controlled prosthetic product in advance to dispel the rumors about Yunmeng's new console?"

Lin You's first reaction was of course: "No, it's not necessary."

But almost immediately, he changed his mind:

Even if [Mirage 2.0] is still to be released on Saturday, it seems good to be able to slap the "prophet" in the face before the release!

Then when all the players had no hope, [Mirage 2.0] was released suddenly.

In this way, how pleasant the players should be!

So he replied decisively: "Okay, let's do it, I'll leave it to you!"

——It's really fun to do this, especially when someone else does it for you and doesn't need to do more work yourself.

After hanging up the phone, Lin You turned his gaze back to the updates collected by Xiaomeng.

Judging from the reactions on social platforms such as Lingxi, Vortex Forum, and video sites, Qin Songyun has done a very good job.

The side has been paved for a long time, and the design that only allowed John Wick to make a brief appearance in the end fully achieved the expected effect at the beginning of their design.

It is precisely because the time of appearance is so short that the impression on the players will be so deep.

As a result, players are more curious and can't wait to dig more, learn more, and look forward to more.

When the next appearance is made, it is easy to cause a bigger splash.

It's just that the way it will appear at that time may be a bit different from what the players expected...

Lin You checked the time, tidied up the table briefly, and went home from get off work early.

After talking with the princess, the matter of communicating with An Rongyi's studio has been handed over to the marketing department.

Lin You had to hurry up and give Zhu Cixia one of the rewards, "clothes to prevent sneak shots".

In addition, the game warehouse has passed the verification, but there is no good time to launch it yet, so there is no need to mass-produce it in advance to occupy the space.

——It is necessary to reasonably arrange the player's sense of expectation, instead of throwing out all the new things in one go. Lin You still knows this bit of business common sense.

Therefore, he has to "hand rub" another game box and give it to Qin Songyun and Xiaochun.

As for why it is a...

Because of the other one, I have to keep it for myself who is too lazy to exercise.

Lin You's energy is limited, so even if there is an all-round little assistant like Xiaomeng who is fully capable of paying attention to all the information related to Yunmeng, he will not really do that.

So it is inevitable that some information is also very important, but because the popularity has not reached the warning line set by Xiaomeng, it will not be reported to Lin You in advance.

For example, now, Lin You is concentrating on researching how to create items that incorporate "anti-attack technology" as beautifully as possible.

Xiaomeng, on the other hand, has been following the dynamics of "Paradise" since "Licking Snow with a Knife Edge" posted on the Vortex Forum.

The title of the post is: "Hords "invade" the playground? If you have mastered the skills, you can too! The one who caused the crime, speak out!"

The post details the cause of the outbreak of the beast swarm, and his speculation about the event that the herd of beasts rushed into the playground.

Under the post, countless players are saying: I also want to find the little lion.

And according to Xiaomeng's observation of the situation in "Paradise", there are indeed many players driving the shuttle bus and rushing into the wilderness.

According to the mechanism designed by Lin You, as long as a player lures the cub into the playground, a herd invasion event will occur in all servers.

As for the current situation, many players concentrated on abducting the little lion out of freshness, which was also within Lin You's prediction.

In the recent period, no matter how well the male lion and the cub can hide, if they hide in the remotest corners of the earth, there is a high probability that they will be dragged out by the players.

This obviously creates a problem: herds occupying the playground will no longer be an "occasional event" but will become a "new normal".

Most players are sure to love it.

But still the same sentence, the number of players has increased, there are all kinds of people, there must be players who don't like animals everywhere.

Fortunately, according to Lin You's prediction, this situation is only short-term.

Driving for several hours in the wilderness just to find the male lion, even if you find it, you cannot 100% succeed in abducting the cub.

Players are unlikely to play such a low cost-effective thing for a long time. Once the novelty passes, they will soon get bored.

Then the frequency will return to normal.

What Xiao Meng has to do is to pay attention to the number and frequency of players looking for the little lion, and beware of unexpected situations.

For example: Some strange small organizations appeared among the players, and they turned the abduction of lion cubs into their daily activities...

That would be troublesome!

Thanks to book friend Qiu Fengcan for rewarding 200 points!

My brain was muddled when I coded yesterday, so I forgot, sorry, sorry.
