Restart the Gaming Era

Through the large wrap-around screen, Zhong Ming can also clearly see the scenes of other speeding cars exchanging fire with police cars.

The automatic machine guns originally hidden on the bodies of these speeding cars all stretched out. Different vehicles have different locations of the automatic machine guns. Most of them are on the roof of the car, but some speed cars also have automatic machine guns installed on the wings and rear of the car.

These automatic machine guns will automatically aim based on the visual capture of the driver's sight. When the driver presses the fire button, these automatic machine guns will start shooting.

Of course, automatic machine guns also have some blind spots for shooting. When players try to fire into these blind spots, there will be corresponding prompts on the screen. To solve this problem, players need to continue to upgrade and add automatic machine guns or other weapons to some special positions of the speeding car according to their own habits.

Some flying cars staggered to the ground because they were hit by too many bullets, and were surrounded and captured by police cars. Others slowly fell behind due to fights with police cars.

Zhongming's speeding car still maintained its extremely fast speed and passed the final key line.

"FINISH!"

As the speeding car passed the finish line, various special effects of fireworks appeared on the screen, and the surrounding time seemed to have stopped, and the settlement list of this round of the game began to appear.

The following speeding cars also passed the finish line one after another, but those speeding cars captured by the police cars were ranked at the bottom by default and were not completed.

Based on the time to complete the race, as well as collision, firefight data and other information, all racers receive a comprehensive score and receive rewards based on this score.

Zhong Ming looked at the SSS score on the screen and expressed his calmness, even thinking that the difficulty could be higher.

This is just one of the game modes in the game. In addition to racing and underground racing, there are many different gameplay modes in "Extreme Speed", such as straight-line acceleration racing, drifting skills competition, and driving shooting competition (in the racing mode At the same time, you need to use the weapon system to hit randomly appearing targets. The scores of these targets are different. After hitting, you will get extra points. At the same time, the faster the car speed, the higher the score after hitting the target) and so on.

In addition, there are some special gameplays, such as movie avatars. Players need to drive specific vehicles and complete some stunts in movie shooting, such as car chases (driving at high speed to catch up to the vehicle in front), chasing other speeding cars in the air and catching them. Live in people who fell out of flying cars, flying assassinations, and more.

These are all plots in the movie, but for players, they must be completed by themselves, and the operations become more complicated as they go later.

For example, in a car assassination mission, the player plays a killer and wants to assassinate a rich man who is holding a banquet in a private mansion. Players must first drive a speeding car to fly along dangerous coasts and cliffs, avoiding the rich man's bodyguards who are scouting nearby and dense front-facing cameras. Then the player must drive a speeding car directly into the mansion at a specific time and blow up the rich man with the bomb he carries. , but also to escape the car chase of a group of rich people's bodyguards. The mission is completed only after successfully escaping.

After completing this series of operations, players can complete film and television shooting work and receive generous rewards.

In addition, there are many leisure tasks in the game, such as searching for some abandoned vehicles on the map for modification, or observing some scenic spots and historic sites through drones. By completing tasks while looking at the scenery, you can get some special rewards.

Of course, these game contents are still under development, so Zhongming will not be able to experience it today.

He came here mainly to experience the experience of the new driving simulator and whether there were any unexpected problems in the basic racing mode game experience.

After all, the racing mode is the real core of the game, and other gameplays are the icing on the cake. If players cannot get a good gaming experience in simulated driving, then other gameplay methods will be useless, no matter how good they are.

"How do you feel, Teacher Zhong?" Lin Xiaoguang asked.

"There are a few questions, please take note of them." Zhong Ming briefly talked about some of the problems he encountered when experiencing the driving simulator, mainly related to the driving experience.

After all, Lin Xiaoguang is not a professional racing driver, and he is not sensitive enough to many aspects of content. After Zhong Ming experienced it, he quickly discovered some imperfect details that needed to be modified.

These details may not be noticeable to ordinary players, but if they are some professional racing drivers or high-end players, they will definitely be able to discover them. Since we want to make a simulator for high-end players, these details must be fully controlled, and there must be no omissions.

"That's pretty much it. If you make some more modifications, it should be fine. You can consider starting mass production and stocking up in advance. If you stock up, you don't need too many. Just prepare 50,000 units first and try the waters."

Fifty thousand driving simulator devices may not seem like a lot for the global game market, but the price is high after all.

Judging from the sales of other driving simulators, the first batch of 50,000 units is already in stock, which even makes Lin Xiaoguang feel a bit empty.

After all, this is a high-end device with a price of up to 70,000 yuan. If all 50,000 units can be sold, the profit will be...

"Isn't 50,000 units too much? If you stock too much, it's easy to be overstocked, and you'll have to lose a lot of money. Of course, there are problems if you stock too little. If you sell out, you'll be scolded by players." Lin Xiaoguang I also feel a little headache.

The new driving simulator is named UV1 simulator, and the whole process is a universal vehicle, which means universal vehicle. In terms of selling price, the tentative price is 68,999, which is nearly 70,000 yuan. Among all driving simulators, it is mid-to-high-end.

It is cheaper than the most expensive simulators, and considering the quality of the UV1 simulator, the price-performance ratio is very high, but after all, the price of 70,000 yuan is unaffordable for most ordinary players. .

Lin Xiaoguang is also a little unsure. He doesn't dare to stock too much, but he is also afraid of selling out quickly. He is in a very contradictory and tangled state of mind.

"It's easy to say. When we promoted it, we said that our first batch of UV1 simulators are limited edition. The first batch of UV1 simulators will be painted with out-of-print paint. The second batch will be released a month later, and the paint will be changed. Players who want to collect it should buy the first edition." Zhong Ming quickly gave a solution.

Lin Xiaoguang was silent for a moment and then said: "...Okay."

The reason why Lin Xiaoguang is worried about running out of stock is mainly because he is afraid that players will think that the stocking capacity and production capacity are insufficient. Coupled with the rhythm of some people with ulterior motives, there will be problems if there is too much stock or too little stock.

But by establishing a "first batch limit", these problems will be easily solved.

Let me tell players openly that the first batch of UV1 simulators are limited editions and have been specially painted, so they have a certain out-of-print collection value. In this way, there will definitely be many rich people who will buy an out-of-print paint job, and it doesn’t matter even if the first batch of UV1 simulators are sold out quickly. Everyone knows that this is an out-of-print collection. Isn’t it normal for them to be sold out? ? It cannot be said that Lin Xiaoguang is playing monkey.

…

After leaving Yunuo Technology, Zhong Ming drove back to Shiguang Studio to see how the follow-up development work of "Extreme Speed" was going.

After entering the autonomous driving mode, Zhong Ming opened the news software on the speed car's central control screen, preparing to listen to the latest news.

"The latest news will be broadcast next. The Feiyan Tower fire incident that has everyone extremely concerned is now under control. However, according to reports from the scene, this reconstructed antique building is very likely to be destroyed this time. It was seriously damaged in the fire. The most regrettable thing is that the "Feiyan Stele" written by the modern calligrapher Zhou Ruliang in the Feiyan Pagoda was also seriously damaged in the fire..."

Hearing this news, Zhong Ming couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Feiyan Tower?

It seems that this building was included in the previous ancient building materials.

Zhong Ming recalled carefully and found that this building did exist.

This Feiyan Pagoda did not exist in Zhongming's previous life, but in this world, Feiyan Pagoda is a very famous ancient building in China, known as one of the "Top Ten Famous Pagodas in China", and it is very special in shape.

During the war period of the Omnic Crisis, the Feiyan Tower was destroyed by the war, but part of the relevant information survived, so the World Government later rebuilt it. Although the reconstructed Feiyan Tower was very different from the original Feiyan Tower, Big difference, but at least it left a thought for everyone.

Moreover, there was once a "Feiyan Stele" written by an ancient calligrapher in the Feiyan Pagoda, which is also one of the ancient calligraphy masterpieces. In order to celebrate the reconstruction of Feiyan Pagoda, modern calligrapher Zhou Ruliang specially wrote a "Feiyan Stele", which was carved on a stone slab and placed in the new Feiyan Pagoda for tourists to watch.

As a result, the fire caused serious damage and destruction to the rebuilt Feiyan Tower. Even the "Feiyan Stele" was severely damaged and could not be read at all.

Moreover, Master Zhou Ruliang has passed away many years ago. This fire incident can be said to have caused heavy losses!

Zhong Ming clicked on the screen, flipped to the comment area of ​​this news video, and found that netizens below were also expressing regret.

"Master Zhou Ruliang's words!!!"

"How did such an important antique building catch fire? The person responsible recommended that he be shot on the spot!"

"The rescue speed is too slow. It took so much fire to arrive before the fire truck arrived. Why are they eating!"

"Can it still be rebuilt? Can it still be restored?"

"I went to see it last year. The Feiyan Pagoda was really well built, and it was very successful among antique buildings. I didn't expect it, eh."

The comments were all filled with sighs and sighs, and many people were angrily cursing the World Government and the managers of Feiyan Tower.

Although the Feiyan Pagoda is a replica of the building, it is still very precious, especially some of the furnishings inside, such as Master Zhou Ruliang's "Feiyan Stele" and some cultural relics that originally belonged to the Feiyan Pagoda, all of which were put on display. Many of them were burned this time, and they are all priceless treasures!

It is unreasonable that such an important antique building could catch fire and cause such serious losses!

Zhong Ming clicked a few times on the central control screen and searched for several photos of the Feiyan Tower before it burned down.

"There seems to be something wrong with the structure, right?"

Zhong Ming looked at these photos and felt something was wrong. He had previously obtained detailed structural drawings of many ancient buildings from the mysterious program. Now looking at the photos of Feiyan Tower, he always felt that the reconstructed building was a little strange from the original building.

From the outside, the difference is not particularly obvious, but if you study it carefully, you will find that the internal structure is very different from the original building.

To put it simply, the rebuilt Feiyan Pagoda was built completely in accordance with modern construction techniques. It was just a superficial project. In fact, the inside was quite different from the real Feiyan Pagoda!

Even the "Feiyan Stele Calligraphy" copied by Zhou Ruliang actually has some subtle differences from the original work, and he added a lot of his personal understanding.

In other words, although Master Zhou Ruliang's version of "Feiyan Stele Calligraphy" is of high quality, it is actually quite different from the real "Feiyan Stele Calligraphy".

Zhong Ming immediately took out his bracelet and posted a message on Weibo.

"The recent fire incident in Feiyan Tower has made the whole world cry. Weiguang Interactive Entertainment will donate 5 million to the repair work of Feiyan Tower. In addition, during the period when Feiyan Tower is temporarily away, all players You can come and meet it in Shimmer Studio’s new game. The game content related to Feiyan Tower will be provided to all players as a trial part. The structure of Feiyan Tower in the game can also be used to guide Feiyan Tower in reality. Tower repair. Please stay tuned for the specific release time of the game."

As soon as this Weibo post was posted, a large number of replies quickly followed.

"What the hell???"

"Zhong Ming faked the corpse? The fake corpse has been quite frequent recently!"

"Donate 5 million for repair work? Yes, that's awesome!"

"What do you mean you can meet it in Shimmer Studio's new game? Could it be that Shimmer Studio's new game is related to Feiyan Tower?"

"I don't think so. It is said that content related to Feiyan Tower will be provided as a trial part. It must be only a small part of the content."

"Damn, what on earth is the new game? I'm so looking forward to it!!"

Originally, a large group of people were still in grief, but when they saw this Weibo, they started to become curious.

What exactly is Shimmer Studios’ new game? How can we still get materials from Feiyan Tower?

Could it be some ancient Chinese-style game?

…

Soon, Zhong Ming returned to Shimmer Studio.

Fu Xing'an came over with a confused look on his face: "Boss, do we want to donate? We also need to provide trial content? Why didn't I know about this??? And... we don't seem to have planned Feiyan Tower in our plan this time. ah……"

Zhong Ming chuckled: "Can't we just start planning now?"

Fu Xing'an: "..."

Zhong Ming obtained a large amount of ancient building information from the mysterious program. Among them, there was indeed the Feiyan Tower, but because there were too many ancient buildings, Zhong Ming only drew the structural diagram of the Feiyan Tower. During the actual development, it had already been This building has been cut down and is planned to be rebuilt later.

As a result, the plan failed to keep up with the changes. Who would have thought that the rebuilt Feiyan Tower caught fire?

Fu Xing'an was speechless. The boss was too willful!

A few of them are working, sitting at home, and life is coming from the sky. It seems that Zhong Ming is planning to put the content of Feiyan Tower directly into the current game, and also use the area around Feiyan Tower as a trial Content provided.

But Fu Xing'an also had to admit that this was indeed a good opportunity.
