Creating a Virtual World

When Jiang Qiao came to the lounge behind the scenes, Zhao Mingwei was surrounded by three doctors in white coats. He was very conscious, but his physical condition was not good.

Now Zhao Mingwei didn't even have the strength to stand up, and the doctor helped him into the wheelchair. The worst thing was his left arm, which should have been fractured according to the doctor's examination.

"Can the doctor wait a little longer?" Zhao Mingwei raised his other movable hand and closed it, indicating that there was really nothing serious about him.

The sound on the stage was very loud... Even Queen May's voice could be heard in the lounge behind the scenes. The first words Queen May said immediately caught Zhao Mingwei's attention.

"Thank you again, Holy Spirit, I have something very important to announce next."

"Contestant Zhao, I suggest that you go to the hospital first. You can watch the recording of the official press conference of the Holy Spirit afterwards, or watch it directly on your mobile phone." Boss Yin glanced at the VR device Zhao Mingwei used before, although the doctor judged that Zhao Mingwei was Excessive action when playing VR games will lead to fractures, and there will be such a state of exhaustion when there is no rest for a long time.

But Mr. Yin always felt that something was not quite right.

"Take him to our auditorium." Mo Shigui who was silent on the side suddenly said at this moment, "Even if we send this guy to the ambulance now, he will probably find a way to jump out of the car."

"I wouldn't do such a horrible thing." Zhao Mingwei said thoughtfully.

In the end, with the doctor's permission, Jiang Qiao directly pushed Zhao Mingwei's wheelchair to a viewing area specially prepared for Holy Spirit players in the Uptown Gymnasium.

"Hey, why did Lord Xiao sit on it?"

"Shut up! Queen May seems to have something important to announce!"

The players who participated in the Black Ember Knight Crusade before, as well as a group of specially invited Holy Spirit players were discussing what Queen May would announce.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Qiao also turned on his mobile phone, but this time the live broadcast on his mobile phone that Jiang Qiao watched was not the official live broadcast of the holographic projection exhibition, but Shen Meng's personal live broadcast.

Most of Shen Meng's live broadcast room are Holy Spirit players, and there are also players who have been following the Holy Spirit for a long time, and are frantically drawing the qualifications of the Holy Spirit every day and night...

So the barrage in Shen Meng's live broadcast room is no longer 'Is that girl an official member of the Holy Spirit? ’ ‘Another artificial intelligence AI? ’ ‘I want to see Master Xiao! ’ This kind of barrage is not even considered as a cloud player.

It's 'Queen May's woman will never admit defeat, my cub is too cute. '

‘Are you going to announce the public beta? I'm so excited! I'm so excited! This broken game has been tested for half a year, I stayed up late every night to compete for qualifications, and I almost got dark circles under my eyes! '

'Public beta! Beta! Beta GOGOGO! '

Jiang Qiao saw the most bullet screens in Shenmeng's live broadcast room, and he was looking forward to the direct public test of the Unlimited Holy Spirit. This is the news that all players who are paying attention to the Holy Spirit want to hear.

It's a pity that Jiang Qiao also wants to beta beta, but Hailan, the half-baked God of Devourer, can't carry so many players, so I'm afraid... the real public beta will not be possible in this life, and the number of players can only be accompanied by the number of players in the game. Players who have defeated one strong enemy after another slowly improve.

And the news announced by Queen May today is still enough to make all Holy Spirit players and players who want to become Holy Spirit 'excited', that is...

"You holy spirits, starting today..." Queen May paused when she said this, and Jiang Qiao could already vaguely hear the audience below shouting in unison, 'Public beta! Beta! Beta! ’ gone.

But Queen May's next words turned the enthusiasm of all the holy spirit players into a bitingly cold frost in an instant.

"The Holy Spirit game mall will be officially launched from today!" Queen May also used a tone of extreme excitement and anticipation.

But the moment he heard the words 'Holy Spirit Game Mall', the audience looked at the audience who were still raising their hands and cheering, and were so excited that they wanted to jump up, as well as the audience who kept frantically brushing the words "public beta" on the barrage , There was an eerie silence for a moment.

Jiang Qiao saw a series of '? 'character.

Queen May was also stunned by the players' sudden enthusiasm, and instantly turned into an old monk's reaction.

She thought she had read something wrong, but Queen May had the impression that she read it according to the script Jiang Qiao gave... But the players' reaction was terrible.

The silence, the silence almost made Queen May a little uneasy. Logically speaking, there should be waves of applause here.

Fortunately, Queen May saw Jiang Qiao at the back of the auditorium, and she asked Jiang Qiao if he had made a mistake.

In this scene, Jiang Qiao really wanted Queen May to ask the players of the Holy Spirit... that is, 'Don't you have wallets? '

But Jiang Qiao still held back and did not die. This kind of reaction was expected by Jiang Qiao, so Jiang Qiao made a gesture to signal Queen May to continue talking as planned.

As for the launch of the game mall system by the players of the Holy Spirit, Jiang Qiao can tell just by looking at Mo Shigui, Caramel, and Black Pot Boiled Pork by his side with their sighing expressions that are so consistent... This decision was made by the Holy Spirit. How... disappointing in the eyes of the players.

"All online games now have a mall system, so it shouldn't be a problem for the Holy Spirit to launch a mall, right? Aren't you all complaining that the game of the Holy Spirit is too conscientious, and are you afraid that the official will go bankrupt?" Heiguozhurou whispered at this time.

"It's understandable for a game company to make money. The key is to see how well the game mall is doing. That's what I'm worried about."

Mo Shigui doesn't dislike the Holy Spirit's open krypton gold system. There are many Holy Spirit players who spend cash to buy gold coins in the game. What Mo Shigui is worried about is that the Holy Spirit will finally officially start making money.

The word-of-mouth of an online game has collapsed, and players feel that planning is the biggest reason... In fact, there is only one reason, and that is that the game company wants to make money, and the game planning needs to complete the revenue target given by the above. When all these capital operations start to promote, especially a The first MMORPG online game will start to become 'cheating'.

Mo Shigui also knew that some overseas games were very conscientious, but this did not apply to domestic online games. Dispute was the simplest example.

Although Dispute is a foreign game, the domestic operating company is quite safe in the first year of opening the server. The game mall only sells some fashions with no attributes, and there are mounts and so on.

From then on, it became more and more cheating, those fashions with attributes, all kinds of holiday gift packages for the whole family, all kinds of titles that are too strong, and even the weapons are expensive.

It's okay if you don't spend money, then you will always be weaker than the top players.

Discord has been very restrained, which is also the reason why the popularity of this game is unmatched in the world because of the extremely successful League of Discord competition.

This has led to the fact that the revenue index of Dispute Planning can be achieved only by relying on the demographic dividend of the number of players, and there is no need to launch various forced props to damage the game's reputation.

But what about the Holy Spirit?

This is what Mo Shigui is really worried about. The technical power of the Holy Spirit is at least ten times higher than that of Dispute. He really doesn't believe that this game can be created by relying on an artificial intelligence.

The game's pre-production and mid-term operation updates all require a lot of money to maintain. Now the number of players of the Holy Spirit is only 130,000.

Even if the follow-up server expansion doubles the number of players of the Holy Spirit, this number of players is still not enough for the game to recover the development capital in the early stage, let alone the mid-term operation. Maybe the Holy Spirit public beta can do it, but... Queen May obviously did not The meaning of announcing the public beta news.

So what Mo Shigui was really worried about was... How would the game company, the Holy Spirit, get back its money? How to make money after paying back?

In the past six months of closed testing, if it wasn't for the 'tax' imposed on the gold coin transactions of the Holy Spirit and the launch of the Holy Spirit Fund, Mo Shigui would have suspected that the game company behind the Holy Spirit would have closed down.

As for Mo Shigui's series of questions, Jiang Qiao's answer was that there was no need to pay back.

Because the production cost of the Holy Spirit game is zero, the maintenance capital of the server is about 3,000 yuan a month, which is not enough. The monthly expenses of Hailan, Queen May and the five knights are at least about 12,000. .

It was indeed expensive, and Jiang Qiao was on the verge of going bankrupt, but Jiang Qiao could personally afford the expense.

So here comes the question... How much money can the holy spirit make after the official opening of the mall system? Jiang Qiao can be sure that it is definitely at the million level, and if the number of servers increases again, it will definitely be at the tens of millions level!

Are so many Qianjiang bridges all used for storage? No! of course not……

Mr. Yin is right, the game of the Holy Spirit has great ambitions, and Jiang Qiao's ambitions are also great. The emergence of the Holy Spirit Fund is to create a financial interaction system between the Holy Spirit and the real world!

As for the specific method...

"Dear Holy Spirits, please don't worry. Regarding the system of the Holy Spirit Mall this time, we promise..." Queen May paused for a while when she said this.

But this pause aroused ridicule from the players around Jiang Qiao, especially the black pot cooking meat. He didn't know whose tone he was imitating, and said something with a weird expression.

"We promise that we will never sell any unbalanced items that increase the value of the game in the game mall." Heiguozhurou said.

"Pfft haha, this is the line that the dog said during the open beta of the dispute, right? You are too much, old black." Caramel rarely laughed at this time.

As veteran players of the dispute, they all knew what kind of tricks Black Pot Zhurou was playing.

When most online games are launched in the game mall, they almost always make this guarantee, that is, they will only sell some fashion and mounts.

But everyone knows the end result.

So these online game veterans thought that what Queen May was going to say was this.

But... Queen May's next words once again caused all the players who were still joking to fall into an eerie silence.

"All the money earned will be given back to the Holy Spirit!" Queen May's words not only made the audience fall into a state of silence.

The planners of other games below, as well as the development team, were also stunned. The first reaction of a group of online game developers was 'this artificial intelligence is crazy! ’ or ‘The actor who played this character is crazy! ’, or ‘This is just a marketing method of the Holy Spirit’!

joke! The game is made to make money, and the krypton gold system is also made to make money. There is absolutely no game in the world that returns the money earned from the player's pocket to the player.

But the game of the Holy Spirit... yes.

Because if the Holy Spirit game participates in any award selection, it can win the Best Free Whoring Game Award.
