Following the little mermaid guide, Wei Dong glanced at the clock on the screen of the giant tower. Tasting books
【12:10】
After hesitating for a moment, he called out the menu, preparing to send a text message to a few teammates who were scheduled to open up wasteland, asking them to wait a while before opening the group instance. However, when he opened the friend list, he discovered that several professional players from the Royal Family Union had already sent him a message first.
"Captain, can the copy be ten minutes late? The system of this helmet has just been updated, so I'll think about it first."
"Lao Ying, I'm going to squat first, you wait for me, five minutes!"
"Old team, did you see the advertisement pushed by the future technology? Is this really an advertisement? Isn't it a new game made by them?"
Wei Dong smiled wryly.
These guys are about to open up wasteland and transfer level dungeons, why are they TM off the chain at critical moments.
But then his old face turned red, and he who was just about to send them a message to postpone the time for land reclamation seemed unconvincing.
After hesitating for a moment, he still edited a group text message and sent the news that the land reclamation dungeon was postponed for half an hour to the teammates who participated in the group.
The reason reads: [Some teammates were unable to reach the dungeon due to practical reasons, and the land reclamation time was delayed by half an hour. 】
Ding--
The letter was sent successfully.
When he was about to close the system menu, he saw an avatar in the friend column jump up.
Wei Dong opened it and saw that it was a communication request from Lao Yue. This person is a friend he met in the game, and his profession is summoning. Because they saw each other quite well, the two met several times offline and became real friends. Later, he was also drawn into the royal union.
But this Yue Hui is just a casual player. In reality, he is the boss of a certain company. Except for better equipment, his level and skills are the same.
"Old Wei, what do you think?" Yue Hui said immediately as soon as the voice communication was connected.
"How else can I see it." Wei Dong rolled his eyes. He said with a smile, "I'm not surprised by the black technology of the Future Group."
Although he said calmly, in fact, he was still surprised in his heart.
"I heard that there are pre-sale properties here, why don't you take a look?"
"I can't afford it! I'm afraid it will cost tens of millions of dollars to set up a house here. I can also walk around, and I may not be allowed to travel here in the future."
"Hey? That doesn't sound like what Wei Wanwan from our guild said." Yue Hui joked. "This tens of millions of dollars is at most half a year's salary."
The boss of the royal family spent 20 million yuan to sign the news of Shadow Demon. It was no longer big news in their professional circle. At first they felt that the boss's investment was not worth it, and 20 million was too much anyway. Later they had to admire, or the boss has a vision.
This is a world-class game.
The number of active players worldwide exceeds 100 million!
In just half a year, Shadow Demon has won no less than 30 million benefits for the royal family in the game by virtue of his extraordinary game awareness and experience accumulated in internal testing! Among other things, the highly anticipated non-level PVP competition every month, the top ten players can be famous guilds and sponsors behind their IDs.
This advertising space can even influence the stock price of a listed company to a certain extent!
In this information age, it works well. IP is inherently money.
Of course, these are off topic.
"Come on, you have a lot of money in business, and if you have that spare money, it's not bad to come here to buy a set. You see, I can also play games. If I go to a foreign country, I can't beg for food."
"Xinguo is not a foreign country, right? There are more and more Chinese people. You think you have gone to Guangzhou. And where is playing games? I am going to buy a set to try. Anyway, it says you can get a refund at any time." Yue Hui laughed.
"Think about it again."
After finishing the communication, Wei Dong began to think seriously about his friend's suggestion. But after thinking about it carefully, it was a bit too hasty to make a decision so quickly. Buying a house is a major life event that involves starting a family, and it must be carefully considered. Now his savings are enough to buy a small villa in the suburbs of Wanghai City,
Settling overseas... There is really no need for that.
Although he also admitted that the city has a futuristic style. It really appeals to a young man like him.
Following Xiaoyu through the main road, Wei Dong looked around, feeling a little at a loss.
As the Future Group advertised, this place is highly technological. However, it is precisely because of this that the dazzling array of holographic images and buildings made him feel a little at a loss for a while.
It seemed that he could see his hesitation. Xiao Yu flew to his ear and said softly.
"Any visitor who enters Penglai City can get a pair of digital glasses as a personal terminal. Because we are in a virtual reality, we have hidden these glasses. If necessary, you can call them up through the system menu. "
According to Xiao Yu's instructions, Wei Dong selected the icon of the glasses from the menu. Light particles converged in his hand, and a pair of glasses lay on his palm.
Wei Dong fiddled with the glasses in his hand, and put them on the bridge of his nose.
Very light, the lens is also very thin, almost nothing to wear.
Focusing his eyes on the location of the map, a scene that surprised him happened. The light blue light particles gathered under his feet to form a path, extending to the target he selected on the map.
He stared blankly at the cursor on the ground, took off his glasses, and the cursor disappeared. Put it on again, and the cursor will reappear.
God!
At this moment, a word came to his mind.
"Is this... an AR?"
Augmented Reality!
He remembers that the HoloLens glasses launched by Microsoft also have similar functions, but he wonders if they can achieve the level of future technology, marking the path to the destination in three-dimensional space.
"That's right." Xiao Yu said with a smile.
"Is it okay to ask another question? Are you a human customer service?"
"Xiao Yu is an AI." Wagging his tail in the air, Xiao Yu dragged his chin and said with a smile. "As long as you wear AR glasses, you can see the exclusive Xiaoyu."
After a long silence, Wei Dong sighed.
"Your boss is simply a genius... virtual reality + real estate, and human-like artificial intelligence as a 'shopping guide', it's hard not to make a fortune."
"Thank you for your compliment." Xiao Yu blinked and said playfully.
After walking around several main roads, Wei Dong stopped at the gate of a community and looked at the apartment building.
at the door. He saw a holographic panel with an entire row of green labels written on it.
"Sell?" He silently read the words on the holographic panel.
"Penglai City implements digital municipal management. Your local assets and real estate are bound to your personal ID and can be managed through a special interface. For example, the holographic panel at the door of the apartment can be used to sell and buy real estate. These sales The information will also be synchronized in other regions..." Xiao Yu patiently explained to him.
At this moment, the green label changed to orange, and the label [Sell] changed to [Bid: 10000].
"This is?"
"Because the property rights of the property now belong to the Future Group. Therefore, the initial sale will be conducted by bidding by default. A first-level apartment like this is only about 80 square meters, and the starting price is only 10,000 U.S. dollars." Xiao Yu explained.
But because there are many houses. Unless there are people who only want to live on a specific floor, bidding will happen. Each price increase must not be less than 1,000 US dollars, and the transaction will be locked after three days.
"Just ten thousand dollars?" Wei Dong muttered to himself.
"Each user is only allowed to purchase one set of 1-2 level houses, and only 3 levels and above are allowed to purchase multiple sets, but there are certain restrictions." Xiaoyu reminded.
From the map, there are 200,000 first-level units for sale, mainly distributed in the outer ring area. There are also 2-level units with slightly higher prices, and the location is closer to the ring. Generally speaking, the closer the room is, the more expensive it is. But there are exceptions. For example, the man-made beach sea view villas on the outermost circle are the most advanced level 5 units, and the price is affordable.
Wei Dong then looked at the housing prices in the area of the giant tower, and couldn't help but be secretly dumbfounded.
The room at the top of the tower is priced at $1 billion, but it has a gray label, which seems to be not for sale.
And the bottom of the tower... Yes, there is an underwater part of the bottom of the tower. The whole island is like a spinning top. And the room that goes deepest underwater. It is located at the tip of the entire "gyro", the spiral room is completely wrapped in sea water, and the price is 10 billion US dollars.
Still not for sale...
No matter how you look at it, it’s a random price! Not going to sell! Wei Dong complained bitterly in his heart.
"What if the city fails in the end? I remember you are still working on the seabed."
"Future People Group will give you a full refund." Xiaoyu smiled, "With the global industry of Future People Group, we will guarantee all investors in the world. We will definitely be able to afford it."
With the financial power of the Future Group. You really don't have to worry about bankruptcy. Wei Dong smiled wryly and shook his head, he was actually worried about such a stupid question just now.
"Will someone really settle here?" Looking at Xiao Yu, he asked the most critical question.
If a city has only houses and no people, it can only be called a ghost town.
"Judging from the apartment types that started bidding, there are already 110,000 people planning to settle here. According to the plan of Future People Group, the development focus of this sea city is mainly on tourism and scientific research. After the completion of Penglai City, it will move to The waters between Koro Island and Anga Island. Because there are very convenient transport airships and ships, the residents of the island can easily go to any island in the new country to work." After finishing speaking, Xiao Yu added.
"Like taking a bus."
"Sea Venice?" Wei Dong muttered to himself, and then looked around.
The environment here is very beautiful, to be honest, he was really moved. But when he thought that he was living in Wanghai City, it seemed that he could come here anytime and anywhere with this helmet, and his longing for this Penglai City was a little bit less...
But at this moment, he suddenly noticed the countdown in the lower right corner of the field of vision.
"What is this timer?"
"Oh, this." Xiaoyu covered her mouth lightly, making an expression that almost forgot something, "This is the time that users can stay in this virtual reality."
"Dwelling time? Wait... that means—"
"That's right." Xiao Yufei stopped right in front of him and looked at him with a smile. "The advertising time is only 30 minutes. Buying a house and applying for a tour can be done through the phantom helmet. I want to meet Xiao Yu and the beautiful Penglai If you are in the city, please look forward to its completion.”
Hold the grass! Play this set again for a limited time!
However, before Wei Dong finished cursing, everything around him shattered like snowflakes.
In a short two seconds, he returned to that pure white cube.
Facing the empty virtual reality space, he was speechless for a long time. (To be continued.)
