Chapter 471 Virtual Game Release (Asking for Monthly Pass)

Chapter 471 Virtual Game Release (asking for monthly votes~)

It turns out that even a genius like Vegapunk will inevitably make some mistakes when making such a grand and huge project.

As thousands of lucky people randomly selected from various islands in the Pokémon Sea participated in the internal testing of "Pokémon World", many bugs in details still followed.

Fortunately, as long as there is no problem with the big framework, these small bugs are not to be feared.

With the genius mind of Dr. Vegapunk, all problems were finally solved.

Finally, after more than a month of hard work, this virtual reality game loaded with the Kanto region expansion pack finally completed the test and successfully entered the promotion stage.

…

…

One day.

The breeze was warm and the sun was not dry.

It was still the main island of the Pokémon Sea, Casey Island.

One after another, ships gathered towards the port of Casey Island like a stream of crucian carp crossing the river.

Then, people dressed in suits and carrying various filming equipment walked down from these ships one after another, like grandpa and aunt chasing free eggs, and swarmed towards the square in the center of the island.

"Hurry up, hurry up!!! If you are late, there will be no place!!!"

"The headline must be from our newspaper!!!"

"Are you thinking about eating P?! Given the relationship between the World Economic News and the Straw Hat Pirates, I guess that old bastard must have known the content of this press conference a long time ago!"

"Ahhh!!! Why did the Straw Hat Pirates suddenly hold a press conference at this time!!! My wife went to the delivery room today!!!"

"Sorry, brother, the child may not be yours anyway, it doesn't matter whether you follow or not!"

"Asshole! Baga Yalu!!!"

"…………"

"…………"

Amid the noisy quarrels, these staff from various media platforms finally arrived at the Spoon Square in the center of Casey Island.

At this time, a huge platform had been set up in the square.

Above the stage, there was a huge display screen, which was used to play the virtual game PPT made at Chihong's suggestion.

Below the stage, there were tables and chairs arranged for reporters and media workers.

In fact, the reporters who had just disembarked had no idea that the conference had already stipulated the seating list according to the size of the media platform, so their eagerness and scramble were meaningless.

After all, Chihong couldn't let an unknown small media sit at the front of the venue just because he came early.

Soon, after learning that the seats had been arranged, everyone began to sit down in an orderly manner.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, when a ray of golden sunlight shone in the center of the venue, the big screen above the stage suddenly lit up at this moment.

Swish——

On the dark screen, a white text suddenly appeared:

[Have you ever felt disgusted with this world! ? ]

[Have you ever regretted coming to this world! ? ]

[Do you want to experience a brand new life! ? 】

Accompanied by the deafening and punctuated drumbeats, three soul-piercing questions also appeared in front of everyone.

Then, the words shattered, turned into starlight and fell into the void universe, but as if containing divine power, a new world was born in the darkness!

The opening animation that Red had seen when he first entered the game also presented an audio-visual feast to everyone present at this moment, along with a song "The Target is the Pokémon Master" sung by Uta's family! ! !

The exciting but not ostentatious, cheerful but not joyful song, coupled with Uta's world's strongest voice, and the appearance of one after another Pokémon that hold divine power in the Pokémon world on the screen...

Although the people present still didn't know what all this was for, their hearts were burning involuntarily.

"What... what is this doing!?"

Looking at the powerful creatures appearing one after another on the screen, a reporter flashed a curious thought in his mind.

Soon, the opening animation finished playing, and a black background with white words appeared again on the screen:

[Welcome to the Pokémon World!!!]

Swish~

The space in the center of the stage was rippled.

At some point, Red's figure suddenly appeared on the stage, and also attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Welcome to the press conference of "Pokémon World"...!!!"

Red used the text on the screen to play a long-voiced joke with everyone present.

Immediately, he raised one hand, and a microphone suddenly appeared from his hand, effectively transmitting his voice to every corner of the venue.

"I believe everyone must be very confused about what the creatures and world that appeared on the screen just now are, and they must be very curious about why we suddenly held such a grand press conference."

"Before answering these doubts, I have to say sorry to everyone~"

Red paused, and looked at the reporters below with a slight smile on his face.

"I know many of you came here hoping to see us declare war on the World Government, or hoping we'll start another war that will affect the world order."

"But unfortunately, today's press conference has nothing to do with war!"

"On the contrary..."

"We come with peace and hope."

"Perhaps it's a bit too hypocritical to say this to you as a pirate, but what I want to tell you is..."

"A new era has arrived!!!"

"Welcome to... the Pokémon era!!!"

Swish!!!

At the moment when Chihong's voice fell, a large red cloth that had already existed on the stage was suddenly opened, revealing ten strange devices like cyber-style coffins and hundreds of virtual game helmets hidden underneath.

The red voice sounded again:

"I am honored to inform you that under the premise of Dr. Vegapunk's unremitting efforts day and night for three years, we have finally developed a second world where everyone can live!!!"

"That is the legendary - virtual world!!!"

"In this world, everyone will have a chance to refute life and make a new choice."

"Whether you are a bartender wiping glasses in a bar or a hardworking farmer in the fields, as long as you are tired of the ordinary life in reality, as long as you don't want to encounter all kinds of unfair treatment..."

"From now on, you can choose to come to the virtual world and restart your life!"

"This is not an escape Avoid reality, but give you a second chance to choose your boring life. "

"Here is full of challenges and opportunities!"

"In the virtual world, there is a set of fair rules. As long as you work hard and are lucky enough, you will rewrite your destiny."

"Of course, I also know that the remarks just now may be too novel for this world. Even if everyone present is an elite from various media platforms, it is difficult for you to understand the meaning of these words."

"But it doesn't matter. We can draw 110 lucky people on the spot and let them show us on the spot..."

"What does the so-called second life mean!"

"Snap!

With a crisp snap of fingers, a large number of golden balls suddenly appeared in front of Chihong, and above each ball, there was a number from 1 to 110.

Chihong said with a smile:

"Next, we will throw these small balls evenly to the whole venue. The media friends who touch the metal small balls with their hands for the first time will have the opportunity to experience the virtual game!"

"Please don't fight for them. Even if you don't get the chance to experience it, you below can better record the scene that can change the world."

A correct version in 1619, 1 book, and 1 forum!

"If anyone lets me know that there is any behavior that disrupts the venue..."

A scarlet color flashed in Chihong's eyes, and the faint pressure swept through everyone like a mist, causing everyone present to choke.

Although they are usually the superiors who control public opinion, today, in this venue, they really dare not do anything out of line.

After all, they are peerless ruthless people who dare to slaughter even the Tianlong people!

It's not easy to want their lives.

Seeing that everyone present had quieted down, Chihong also smiled and moved his mind.

In an instant, the 110 small balls in front of him flew into the sky, and as he said, they were evenly scattered throughout the venue, and gently fell down, looking for their lucky ones.

Ten minutes later, the 110 selected people came to the stage with trepidation.

And Chihong smiled kindly: "Friends with numbers 11-100, please sit on the recliners next to you, and wear the virtual game helmets near the recliners, and wait for the next instruction."

"Friends with numbers 1-10, please lie down in the virtual game cabin here."

"Next, you will experience a wonderful journey that will shock your worldview."

The virtual game cabin is a product that Chihong asked Vegapunk to specially create based on the online articles he saw on Earth.

In fact, the structure of this thing is very simple, it is a virtual helmet device without a shell, equipped with a clone incubator.

Like the traditional online article routine, players who purchase the virtual game cabin also need to purchase the matching nutrient solution.

These nutrient solutions are enough to maintain the basic nutrients needed by organisms in daily life, and long-term use can also enhance immunity and prevent many diseases, which can be regarded as some health care products.

With such good effects, the price is naturally very high.

Because the original release of the virtual game world, Red is aiming to let all pirates know the existence of Pokémon, and see if the special rules of the pirate world can be used to give birth to Pokémon belonging to this world.

Therefore, the price of each virtual game helmet is set by Red at 299,000 Baileys!

Although this price is still three times the cost, in this world where a newspaper costs 100 Baileys, the price of less than 300,000 Baileys can be said to be very affordable.

Almost as long as it is in a normal social environment, you can earn the money for a game helmet by working hard for a month.

In order to highlight the dignity of the game cabin, the price of each game cabin is not too high, only 3000W Baileys, 50 times the cost price!

Higher prices will naturally bring better gaming experience.

For all players who have purchased the game pod, when extracting the initial Pokémon, the race value of the Pokémon's final form will be increased from 450-550 to 480-550.

Although the upper limit has not changed, it is guaranteed that there will be no particularly bad initial Pokémon.

However... the nutrient solution that comes with the game pod also needs to be purchased separately.

The average person's monthly usage is about 100W Baileys.

As for those strong people, it is estimated that the nutrient solution needs to be added once a week or even less for the normal operation of the game pod.

This price is by no means low, but for the real rich, it may be just the other party's meal money.

Red believes that both virtual helmets and virtual game pods will have their own market groups.

Of course, in order to take care of the extremely uneven height and body shape in the pirate world, ordinary game helmets and game pods are enough for individuals under 2.3M to use smoothly.

If it exceeds this range, it is necessary to submit additional customization fees to the factory.

However, these are small amounts of money. I believe that everyone who is willing to enter the "Pokemon World" will not care about these extra costs.

Under Red's reminder, 110 lucky people quickly entered the game world.

On the big screen, 110 screen windows with numbers appeared respectively.

Because the screen is large enough, even if it is divided into 110 parts, it is enough for everyone present to see the picture above clearly.

In the picture, all are presented from the player's first-person perspective.

It's just a little different from when Red played for the first time.

In order to ensure that everyone can have a quiet time to think and get familiar with the game after entering the game for the first time, Aunt Hanako and Professor Oak, who were originally in Pallet Town, all appeared in front of the players at the beginning.

These are not Hanako and Oak in Pallet Town, but individual spaces specially set up for players to guide players in naming and receiving Pokémon.

As for the original operations of receiving novice equipment and Poké Balls, they are still left in Pallet Town, allowing players to get familiar with the environment of this world while completing the task process.

These are the anomalies discovered by the internal testers during the internal test.

After a brief period of doubt, the 110 lucky players completed their initial work one by one and officially started their adventure in the Pokémon world.

Some players who had a smooth process have even entered Route 01 and started their first Pokémon battle with the Level 5 Pidgeot and the wild Rattata.

Outside the game, all the media staff held their breath and watched the different demonstrations on the screen, and they all showed shocked expressions.

Those who were sent to attend the Straw Hat Pirates' press conference were all the pillars of various media. After seeing the situation on the screen, they immediately realized what was going on, and also understood what the "second world" that Red had just mentioned meant.

Although the press conference has not yet ended, they can't wait to take out the communication devices and pass on the first-hand fresh information to their respective work units.

"Hey, editor-in-chief!? Did my wife give birth successfully!? What? It's a boy with the same yellow hair as you? But I have green hair!?"

"Oh, forget it! That's not important!"

"Editor-in-chief, just as you expected, the Straw Hat Pirates have made another big news that is enough to shock the world!!!"

"I can't wait to see my article appear on the headlines of our East Sea Gossip News!"
