Chapter 2254: Let Them Get Lost
2254
At this time, everyone in Taiya Game Company was crazy busy.
The game "World of Cultivators" is not only selling well offline, but also online.
After online paid downloads started at ten o'clock, in just over half an hour, the number of paid downloads exceeded 20 million times!
The 20 million paid downloads brought Xu Taiping's company at least 2 billion in revenue. Among them, 100,000 sets of the gold collector's edition were sold out within five minutes of the first paid download.
Even though the game company had stipulated that everyone could only buy one copy, the 100,000 points were still sold out within five minutes. The gold collector's edition alone brought Xu Taiping 1 billion in revenue.
The phones in the company are ringing one after another. Everyone is busy with the game. Some people are busy contacting the sellers for replenishment, some are busy shipping online orders, and others People are busy solving various problems of customers.
Fortunately, Dugu Jiuhe separated the time when the game is released and when the server is opened. Otherwise, everyone in the entire game company would be crazy today.
The game is released today, July 12th, and the game is officially launched on July 15th. There is a three-day gap between release and launch, which ensures that most people will enter the game at the same time.
When Lin Youran took the golden collector's edition chuck from Xu Taiping's hand, Lin Youran was surrounded by happiness.
She felt that her life was finally complete at this time.
Lin Youran carefully left the game company with the golden collector's edition cartridge, then returned to her dormitory and took out the gaming helmet she bought a long time ago.
Almost everyone now has a gaming helmet, because VR games are now very popular, and gaming helmets are also a must-have for virtual reality games.
Lin Youran cleaned the gaming helmet, and then carefully inserted the cartridge into the drive on the gaming helmet.
After doing this, Lin Youran lay on the bed and put the helmet on his head.
With a faint mechanical sound, the gaming helmet started to operate.
Weak currents emitted from the helmet, constantly stimulating Lin Youran's brain, and finally made contact with Lin Youran's brain.
Lin Youran's eyes lit up, and she realized that she was suspended in the air. Under her feet was an abyss, and next to him were people wearing various shining coats. Each of them stepped on magic weapons and whizzed towards Go ahead.
Lin Youran looked at Do You Make Money? In front of her, a black dragon was roaring.
Countless spells fell from the sky and fell on the black dragon, and the black dragon spit out a mouthful of dragon breath and burned each person to death.
Seeing this scene, Lin Youran was stunned.
Is this the world of practitioners? !
At this moment, Lin Youran's eyes suddenly dimmed, and then a deep voice sounded.
"The evil dragon has come to the world, and the people are in dire straits. Young practitioners, please bring your magic weapon, slay the evil dragon, and eliminate harm for the people!"
As the voice sounded, a handsome-looking man appeared in front of Lin Youran.
"Hello, dear player, I am your game assistant. "World of Practitioners" will be launched at 10 a.m. on July 15th. Now you can choose your race and appearance in advance, and learn about game-related content. If you need anything, just say Game Assistant silently, and I will be at your service at any time," the man said.
Lin Youran walked up to the man curiously, then raised his hand and touched the man's face.
"Dear player, men and women are not allowed to kiss each other!" The game assistant showed a teasing smile.
"Is this Zhongji Artificial Intelligence?!" Lin Youran looked at the other person in surprise and asked.
"To be precise, I am the embodiment of consciousness under the master brain." The game assistant explained.
"Awesome!" Lin Youran couldn't help but sigh. The game assistant in front of him is vivid and can interact with you. It is indeed an intermediate artificial intelligence.
"Thank you for your compliment. By the way, you are a distinguished Gold Collector's Edition player. Do you need to customize your title?" the game assistant asked.
"Yes, my title is, President of Xu Taiping Official Fan Club!" Lin Youran said.
"It seems that you are a fan of our boss." The game assistant said with a smile.
"Yes, can I have this title?" Lin Youran asked.
"This involves the reputation of our boss. Please wait a moment while I contact the outside world..." the game assistant said, and was silent for a while. After that, the game assistant said, "It has been confirmed with the outside world and with the permission of our boss. You are allowed to use that title, congratulations!”
"Thank you so much!" Lin Youran said excitedly.
"This is what we should do. Okay, are you ready to build the character?" the game assistant asked.
"Okay, let's get started!"
While Lin Youran was busy entering the game to create characters, there were countless people across China who, like Lin Youran, were chatting with the game assistant and then building characters.
Within the gaming company.
Inside Xu Taiping's office.
Xu Taiping was sitting in a chair, looking at the monitor in front of him.
Wang Xiaoer's voice came from the monitor: "There are currently two major races in the game, one human race and one alien race. There are dozens of professions, some are hidden professions, and some are regional professions. For example, in the foot basin country area, there will be There are onmyoji, ninjas, Western countries, magicians, vampires... These professions have achieved a perfect balance. No matter what profession, they will have their own strengths and weaknesses. Judging from the current data, more than 100% choose the human race. Seventy, 30% are aliens. Currently, there are 35.21 million accounts that have completed character creation. Currently, the server has been attacked 4,522,109 times, of which absolutely Most of the attacks came from government agencies in Western countries, but the attacks had no effect and the server was running well overall without any problems."
"More than 30 million accounts! It's only been an hour!" Xu Taiping sighed.
"According to estimates, when the server launches on July 15, there will be more than one billion players entering the game." Wang Xiaoer said.
"Can the server bear it?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Even if tens of billions of players enter, there will be no problems with the server." Wang Xiaoer said.
"That's good!" Xu Taiping nodded, "If this game really becomes popular and becomes a popular game all over the world, it must provide a good game experience. What we have to do is to make more than one billion people addicted to this game. Games, reduce other activities, reduce energy consumption, and provide us with longer time to develop new energy sources!”
"I know that the game is a world that is infinitely close to reality, and it uses the most advanced human brain connection technology. If I don't let them wake up, none of them can wake up." Wang Xiaoer said.
Hearing Wang Xiaoer's words, Xu Taiping's heart skipped a beat.
Does Wang Xiaoer's words mean that if he wants more than a billion or even billions of people to fall asleep in the game, it will only take a minute?
If this is really the case, then Wang Xiaoer's power is really too much!
Xu Taiping can be regarded as the descendant of Wang Xiaoer, but that refers to the Wang Xiaoer who has left the earth. Regarding the current Wang Xiaoer, Xu Taiping has not had much contact with him, and it is impossible to say that he has much trust. If this Wang Xiaoer The waiter is a person with the same ulterior motives as Russell, which is really dangerous to people in this world.
"Is there anything else I need to know?" Wang Xiaoer asked.
"No more." Xu Taiping shook his head, then stood up and said, "I'm leaving first, I'll leave the game to you!"
"OK!"
Xu Taiping left the game company and returned home. As soon as he arrived home, he found Song Jialing and the others sitting on the sofa wearing helmets, seemingly creating characters.
"Russell...can you evaluate Wang Xiaoer's ability?" Xu Taiping sat on the sofa and asked in a low voice.
"He is a more mature artificial intelligence than me, and he has already uploaded all his data to the Internet. Therefore, he can enter any place in the world with a network at will. He is equivalent to a person on the Internet. God, with the current technological level of mankind, no one can destroy him, and as long as he is willing, he can destroy mankind in an instant," Russell said.
"Destroying mankind in an instant?!" Xu Taiping asked in shock, "How is it possible?"
"He can simulate any person's appearance, voice, and even fingerprints and pupil information, and issue orders as this person. In other words, if he disguises himself as the president of Chu Ye Kingdom, then he can order a nuclear bomb attack Order, once a nuclear explosion occurs, mankind will be destroyed instantly." Russell said.
"Is there any way you can stop him?" Xu Taiping asked.
"There's nothing you can do about it, unless you also put me on the Internet so you can maybe fight it," Russell said.
"Forget it." Xu Taiping shook his head. Compared to Wang Xiaoer, Xu Taiping distrusted Russell even more. Wang Xiaoer has been with Xu Taiping for at least a hundred years. If he was willing, he would have destroyed the world long ago. , and won’t wait until now.
Russell was silent and didn't say much.
At this moment, Xu Taiping's cell phone rang.
The call was from Liu Hao.
"Mr. Xu, I just received a lot of calls, all asking me to find you." Liu Hao said with a smile.
"Looking for me? Who is looking for me?" Xu Taiping asked.
"They are all bosses of some big companies, some are local in Jiangyuan City, and some are from other places. They all hope to meet you in the near future, have a chat, and preferably have a meal." Liu Hao said.
Hearing Liu Hao's words, Xu Taiping smiled jokingly and said, "These people's attitudes change really quickly."
"Shopping malls pursue profits. For these businessmen, if you stand up again and you have greater value, then they will come towards you like sharks smelling blood. This is the shopping mall." Liu Hao said.
"Tell them to get lost." Xu Taiping sneered and said, "When I was down and out, I was treated as the God of Plague. Now that I'm about to get up, I'm treated as the God of Wealth. Get out of here!"
"Do you want me to convey the exact words to them?" Liu Hao asked with a smile.
"Exact words!"
(Tie Shou’s surname is Niu, so Tie Shou’s descendants are called Niu Muro, change that.)
