Play Game of Life

Seeing that the popularity data of Jinghai City was not only surpassed by several first-tier cities, but even by many second-tier cities, everyone present couldn't sit still.

The popularity of virtual cities, on the one hand, is compared to the city's heritage, like super-first-tier cities, which naturally have a large population, high popularity, and many various landmark buildings, which have natural advantages in this regard.

On the other hand, the comparison is the research and development level of various research institutes, as well as the promotion of the virtual city.

A group of these people must be very confident in their own research and development capabilities, so the biggest problem is likely to be the promotion.

They hurriedly clicked on the promotional details page to view it.

Compared with other super first-tier cities, the promotion of Jinghai Virtual City does seem to be quite lacking. Of course, this cannot be said that Jinghai’s publicists are not responsible, mainly because Jinghai does not have a very clear city name card.

Imperial Capital, Modal Capital, Yangcheng and Jingzhou all have very clear city cards.

Shanghai is a city that focuses on young people. It is an international metropolis with high-end foreign style and in line with the world.

And Jingzhou is a city of games, and many buildings in it are naturally born for games. It doesn't even need to change anything, and it can have very good results directly in the virtual city.

In reality, Jinghai does not have such a city name card. Although the cultural and entertainment industry here is relatively developed, it is far from enough to make a clear distinction from other cities.

After all, when it comes to the entertainment industry, the imperial capital, the magical capital, or some cities in the south are not bad at all.

Jinghai's overall publicity plan is relatively conventional, nothing more than talking about the city's historical and cultural evolution, iconic landmarks, etc.

Han Qi said with emotion: "I said at the time that this publicity plan is not good, right? It's too routine, and it won't attract others at all. It's better to do something new and different!"

The staff next to him were silent for a moment, and said, "Brother Han, they seem to have done something new and different. Look at this holy place of martial arts... Was it added later?"

"Martial arts holy land?"

Everyone was a little surprised. They looked at the second half of the promotional materials and found that there was a label of a martial arts holy land in the promotional materials of Virtual Jinghai!

"Jinghai City has a rich heritage of martial arts culture since ancient times, and in the mouths of some people, it has the reputation of a holy land of martial arts.

"In the virtual Jinghai, you can go to Jianghu Square or Longtan Park to meet friends with martial arts and compete with martial arts masters from all over the world. In the virtual world, you can let go of your hands and feet and improve your fighting skills as much as possible through hearty actual combat. Skill!

"Among them, the Jianghu Square is the fighting area, where the two parties can agree on rules and compete.

"Longtan Park is a completely unlimited fighting area. When entering this area, you will accept the challenge of fighting by default. You must be ready to withstand attacks from any direction and anyone at any time.

"In order to ensure that you can get the best experience in the virtual Jinghai, a holy land of martial arts, we have carefully prepared relevant supporting facilities for you.

"The ambulance is on standby 24 hours a day to ensure that you can be sent to the hospital for treatment at any time after you lose your ability to move. All treatments are free, and your worries will be solved!"

This piece of content stunned everyone watching.

They also probably knew the official propaganda plan before, and generally speaking, it was not too different from the current version.

But the paragraph about the holy land of martial arts was added later!

I have to say that there are really too many slots in this promotional material.

Has a profound martial arts culture since ancient times? And the reputation of the holy place of martial arts? This is too forced!

In the history of Jinghai, there have never been any martial arts celebrities, let alone their own original martial arts.

Of course, if you want to search for it by force, you can always find a few less-known and barely relevant ones.

But compared with those famous martial arts towns all over the country, Jinghai is hard to beat no matter how you look at it!

Also prepared an ambulance on call 24 hours a day? Make sure you can go to the hospital for treatment at any time?

In the virtual city, going to the hospital is just a formality, and there is no need for real treatment, just recovering the health data. Hospitals and ambulances are set up in the virtual city, on the one hand to increase the degree of realism, and on the other hand to impose some restrictions on player behavior in terms of mechanism.

Just like in some modern urban theme simulation games, there will be similar designs.

In short, this is not considered support, is it? Can't other virtual cities do the same? Is it necessary to talk about it?

Of course, the biggest slot is still opening Jianghu Plaza and Longtan Park as the venues for the competition.

That's all for Longtan Park, after all, it's just a park. Although the location is good, it's not particularly important.

But Jianghu Plaza is one of the core business districts of Jinghai, and it is also an important landmark in the virtual city. Nearby shops and scenic spots are all centered on it, gathering a high flow of people.

Originally, there were endless disputes within Jinghai Research Institute about what kind of activities Jianghu Square should arrange, and no conclusion was reached. These people in the first group are not high enough to get in the conversation at all. Although they have some ideas, they can't pass them on.

We can only hope that the institute can make proper arrangements.

As a result, the anticipation came and went, did the people above only think of a martial arts competition?

This is already a society ruled by law, so how can you still learn from the ancient society to fight in the arena?

Everyone couldn't help sighing.

"Who passed the revised plan? Isn't this just nonsense? We still have a lot of cultural industries in Jinghai, and any one that can be used as the core plan for publicity is better than martial arts!"

"It's hard to say who made the publicity plan, but Dean Bai must have made the decision in the end."

"Principal Bai is really confused. How could he pass such a plan, especially the martial arts holy land? It's just nonsense!" Han Qi said bitterly.

Although Jinghai's virtual city itself is not very competitive, but if the publicity plan is well implemented, there is still hope that it can barely squeeze into the circle of those super first-tier cities.

But now he chose the Holy Land of Martial Arts as the city's business card? Now everyone's performance bonus is completely useless.

Except for one group, I don’t know how many other staff members who participated in the research and development of the virtual city are also lamenting the unreliability of this publicity plan.

Dean Bai is confused!

...

At the same time, Lu Zhixing was already lying in the VR game cabin, ready to enter Jinghai's virtual city.

The official interface has been opened, and the login method is the same as that of a regular virtual reality game.

There are still two login methods, both VR glasses and VR game cabins are available. Most players still choose the former, and only a few people have VR game cabins.

Although the government has launched a consumer version of the VR game cabin, after all, the price is high, and not everyone can afford it. Comparatively speaking, VR glasses with high quality and low price are more suitable for ordinary consumers.

However, compared with VR glasses, the VR game cabin has a huge advantage: it can scan the real clothing and physical fitness of the player in reality, and substitute them into the virtual world.

This technology was used in the motion capture competition held by Jinghai Research Institute before.

However, this advantage is limited to those players with better physical fitness in reality.

In the fast-paced modern society, most people are in a sub-healthy state, and such people probably only account for 20-30% of the total population.

And Lu Zhixing's current physical fitness is obviously already among the top group of people.

Entering the virtual city this time, Lu Zhixing can be said to have come prepared.

First, he changed his attire.

Before, Lu Zhixing also thought about buying a practice suit online, preferably white, which looks more like a martial arts master, but after thinking about it, this thing is still not very practical.

In fact, the only advantage of exercise clothes is that they are looser and more flexible. But after all, it was clothes prepared for regular fighting.

Lu Zhixing's set of criminal medicine boxing has many moves that can exert the greatest lethality only after they are matched with specific equipment.

For example, he has to specially prepare a pair of high-quality pointed-toed sneakers with a relatively hard head in order to maximize the lethality of his legs.

In the current virtual city, the basic rules restrict the appearance of various controlled knives, and things with greater lethality, such as guns, are even less likely to appear.

Unless you invade like a hacker, but in that case, you will be hit by official security personnel immediately.

But some things that are within the rules and regulations are out of the government's control. And these props are used well, and they are also extremely lethal.

Pointed toe sneakers are one of them.

In terms of lethality, the effect of pointed leather shoes will be better, after all, leather shoes are harder.

But Lu Zhixing also has to consider other factors.

For example, he has to ensure mobility, he must be able to run away quickly when there are too many opponents, and his movements during rock climbing and parkour must not be affected.

So as a compromise, you can only find a pair of special sneakers with a relatively hard head texture.

It may be because of the strange shape, but the price of this thing is quite expensive, costing Lu Zhixing more than 500 yuan.

In addition, Lu Zhixing also prepared some other equipment. Such as knee pads, elbow pads, wrist pads, hip pads, waist pads, etc.

These protective gears were also discovered by Lu Zhixing when he was browsing the shopping website, and he was quickly shocked by the variety of patterns.

Some are protective clothing for motorcycles, and some are special protective equipment for sports such as roller skating.

They are basically made of special materials with good fit, breathability, strong anti-collision performance and excellent protection performance.

In particular, there is a hip protector suit, which also provides special thickened protection for the buttocks and crotch, which made Lu Zhixing deeply feel that technological progress has changed life.

Of course, even this kind of protective gear can't stop Lu Zhixing's kick, but if Lu Zhixing wears it himself, it can greatly reduce the lethality of other people's similar moves.

I hit others to break the defense, and others beat me to scratch it, highlighting that I don't talk about martial arts.

Of course, these protective suits selected by Lu Zhixing are relatively thin and close-fitting. Although compared with those heavy-duty protective suits, the protective performance will be reduced, but the advantage is that they can be worn under loose clothes and are not so conspicuous.

Soon, Lu Zhixing was ready, dressed neatly, and entered the virtual Jinghai.

There are only two words to describe his feeling at this time.

Invincible!
