Build a game empire from scratch

The "intense" meeting did not last long.

The treasurer backed away from freezing the earmarked account because it was pointless, but also vehemently refused to fund the program.

Mr. President did not stop the project - after all, the money has been spent, but he also said that he would not continue to allocate funds.

His original words are:

"I don't care what you guys do, just use this money to build things for me! Unless you prove that the game is really a smoke bomb, and Da Xia is really still building mechas, don't talk nonsense with me! Put things, Create it for me!"

"Also, don't make it the same as in the game!"

The military representatives were not very satisfied—because they didn't get more funding, and they were asked by the president to get the mech out of the way.

But also acceptable.

At least troublesome things like accountability and audit can be avoided.

As for the president's request to build mechas?

Not a big problem!

Build it slowly.

Anyway, next year is 2032, the election year.

When the president changes, this will be a pile of bad debts.

Maybe it can be used again to apply for another grant in the name of "advancing research" or "cleaning up the mess".

Only the director of the Intelligence Bureau is in mourning.

——Because the serious intelligence misjudgment caused heavy losses to the government and caused the president to lose face in front of the whole world, so...

He's out.

Before leaving, apart from destroying a bunch of materials, the last thing Mr. Director did was to kick Daniel out of the Intelligence Bureau.

——With the label of "making a big mistake", he was completely kicked out.

Let alone engage in intelligence in the future, even government departments should not even think about staying.

"Let's deliver food!"

These were the last words the director said to Daniel.

As for the [Lin You Countermeasure Department], it was also reduced to the [Lin You Countermeasure Team], with even fewer people—after Daniel was kicked out, the original group of 6 became 5 people.

The old group leader Burns became the group leader again.

At the first meeting after returning to the original office, the team leader Burns said bluntly: "I am already planning to retire. If anyone of you wants to make a contribution, you can report past me at any time. I don't mind it at all. There is only one hope. can we remember—”

"Don't take me with you."

...

...

In the next few days, "Yunmeng's new game is limited to Chinese" and "President America is a laughingstock" will always be the hottest topics on the Internet around the world.

The White House press secretary was even asked about autism at a regular press conference by various reporters, and even fled in despair.

In comparison, Yunmeng is much more decent.

The official account of Yunmeng clearly explained to the outside world: The derivative technology of [Rehabilitation Teacher Project] is closely related to the core gameplay of "Pacific Rim". In the case of lack of technology, Yunmeng really cannot provide players with a perfect gaming experience. Therefore, the object of sale has to be limited.

But after that, when many overseas players and media came to ask: "What is the specific technology" and "What is the gameplay", Yunmeng suddenly remained silent.

Not surprisingly, supporters and opponents quarreled again.

Of course the supporters believed in Yunmeng, while the opponents didn't believe it at all, thinking that this was just Yunmeng's excuse.

"Unless Yunmeng clarifies what the technology is, and the connection between this technology and the Rehabilitation Program, we will never believe it!"

Of course, it is impossible for Lin You to disclose technical ideas so casually.

——Especially because Xiaomeng has caught a large number of organizations similar to the domestic water army from such opposing voices, it is even more impossible to be fooled.

So the quarrel intensified.

Afterwards, Yunmeng seemed to think that the quarrel between the two sides was not fierce enough, and announced that the game warehouse would be officially released soon, and the [Pacific Rim Limited Edition] game warehouse was also limited to [Chinese-language users] to purchase.

Without any surprise, the intensity of the quarrel further increased.

It's already outrageous to get here, but later Lin You made an even more coquettish operation-launched a [Chinese Proficiency Test] in the virtual world.

No matter which country you are from or what nationality you are, as long as you can pass this test, you can be included in the [Chinese area], and you can normally purchase "Pacific Rim" and limited edition game warehouses.

This immediately caused quite a stir.

Prior to this, of course, Daxia also had an official Chinese proficiency test, and a special certificate was issued.

It's just that Yunmeng's users are all over the world, and it's impossible to let them all go to a limited number of places for the exam, and the cost is simply unreasonable.

So Lin You decisively resorted to the mature assessment method of "online examination".

Of course, virtual world exams are much more advanced than conventional "online exams".

The content of the test is not simply about reading and writing skills, but also includes a lot of content related to cultural common sense - not the superficial kind of "eating dumplings", "Celebrating the New Year", "silk tea and porcelain", which are almost stereotyped. It is not a layered culture, but a deeper, daily culture that is truly close to the lives of ordinary people in the contemporary era.

In fact, this has nothing to do with cultural transmission, it is simply to ensure that those who pass the exam can indeed borrow [Neural Signal Synchronous Frequency Technology] to play games without barriers.

This also caused an unexpected thing——

Before launching this test, Lin You was thinking about the reactions of overseas players.

In his expectation, most players will come to join in the fun, including overseas users who don't understand Chinese at all, and Daxia players who speak Chinese every day, will come to join in the fun.

But Daxia users don't need to pay attention.

Most of the first to pass the test were players from Izumo and Baekje, followed by Southeast Asian countries.

Although Lin You has added a lot of content related to contemporary culture, it is not a problem at all for the countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia that share an Internet community with Daxia.

Don't talk about contemporary culture, you can directly test the summer buzzwords and Internet hot words in the past week.

——But don't take the exam a month ago, those have long been forgotten.

Finally, there are Daxia immigrants from various countries, second-generation Chinese, and some overseas Chinese culture researchers and enthusiasts.

If you want to pass the rest, I am afraid that you will have to study hard.

But the first step went wrong.

Lin You thinks that there is no need to pay attention to Daxia, but there are fish who slip through the net of compulsory education who don't know Chinese characters or speak Chinese at all.

——More than one!

He looked at the scattered light spots on the plateau in the west of Daxia that indicated [failed test], he was surprised and speechless.

Just thinking about tossing overseas, never thought that there are still fish that slip through the net in China!

Lin You resolutely screened the information, excluding the older ones who may not have received education due to objective reasons, and sent the rest directly to Lu Wei.

——Compulsory education is a statutory responsibility and obligation, and there must be no fish that slip through the net.

Still want to play games?

Fuck you, let me go to school!
