In the hallway of the Penguin building, a project manager in a suit and leather shoes walked briskly by. I saw him holding a document in his hand, and judging from his expression, something good should have happened.

Standing in front of Ma Huateng's office, Du Shuze took a deep breath, straightened the tie on his chest, and then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Please come in. ”

Hearing a voice coming from inside the office, he immediately pushed the door open and walked in

"The boss's acquisition has been negotiated. With the support of our injection of funds, the deepoon virtual reality device they are currently developing has been updated with the ability to directly connect to the notebook data cable, as well as solve the original compatibility problem. Yesterday, it just passed the test, and it can already run Microsoft's Minecraft and EVE Valkyrie and other games that have been launched on the virtual reality platform. ”

The former has a lot of popularity in China, and since the launch of the virtual reality publicity trailer in September 15, it can also be said to have attracted much attention in China. Although the latter is not well-known in China, it is also because EVE chose the wrong agent.

"Negotiate with the Icelandic CCP company for agency rights, and be sure to win it. Ma Huateng said in a deep voice.

There is no game that can be used, and it is very inconvenient for the promotion of virtual reality business. It's impossible for people to spend money to buy a VR device just because QQ can log in on a VR device.

But EVE's partner, Century Tiancheng, is also talking about Valkyrie. They've already represented EVE, and we don't have an advantage when it comes to competing for a sequel, Valkyrie—" Du Shuze said with a grimace.

Ma Huateng smiled mysteriously, "We have money and a better user base." ”

In the past, it was because I didn't pay attention to EVE as a niche game, but now that I think about it. Since it's virtual reality, what could be more fascinating than flying freely through the stars?

Confirming the boss's attitude of ambition, Du Shuze breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

"What about Microsoft's Minecraft?"

"That's a stand-alone game, right?" Ma Huateng frowned slightly.

"The content of the game is mostly single-player, but it also allows for community cooperation. Du Shuze replied.

In other words, there is no need to use a large server as a server. Can a privately bridged LAN also be connected?" said Ma Huateng with a smile.

"Theoretically, that's true. The project manager nodded.

"Don't worry about that, we're just going to do online games. The spirit of the Internet is sharing, and that kind of gamer will naturally go for it. Ma Huateng waved his hand.

The project manager was stunned for a moment, and suddenly suddenly.

"Boss wise!"

Do you still need to say this? Ma Huateng glanced at him,

However, the sycophant thing still sounded very comfortable, and Ma Huateng leaned back on the boss's chair slightly proudly. This sudden futuristic technology is indeed a bit difficult, but fortunately, the roots of the Big Penguin Empire are here, and it is easy to enter the field of virtual reality.

The reason why it has been standing still. That's just because the mobile market is not yet saturated. You are just a new company, and you dare to compete with the three giants of BAT for market share? It's a dream.

It's just that this war has been provoked after all, and what he pays more attention to is the actions of the other two giants.

"You should also pay attention to the movements of Ali and Baidu, I feel that they may be in this business-"

The door suddenly opened, interrupting the conversation between Ma Huateng and Manager Du.

I saw the man at the door panting and holding on to the door frame, clutching a crumpled document in his hand.

Ma Huateng frowned slightly, for the rude behavior of the employee who came in without knocking. He was very dissatisfied. Du Shuze, who was next to him, glanced at the man gloatingly, and quickly regained his serious expression.

Take a few breaths. The man finally stood up straight, and without apologizing, he walked to Lao Ma's desk in three and two steps, and placed the document on the desk tremblingly.

"Old, boss. Future people technology, there are new moves. This is. I copied the contract from the Internet café we worked with, and whew—" finally caught his breath, the man said.

Ma Huateng glanced at him and looked at the documents on the table.

"Virtual Reality Experience Agreement?"

Ma Huateng flipped through the documents casually, and his brows furrowed slightly.

I don't know why. The actions of Future Man Technology made him feel a little uneasy.

"Xiao Du. ”

"Huh. Du Shuze immediately stood up straight and waited for the order.

"You're in charge of the company's virtual reality, so you can go to this experience store for me after work. Ma Huateng said casually.

"Yes! ”

"Alright then, you two go get busy first. ”

Du Shuze immediately walked out of the door. The man who rushed in hesitated, wanting to say something. But seeing the unhappy look on the boss's face, he realized that he was reckless, so he immediately closed his mouth and left the office with Du Shuze.

……

In the center of Wanghai City, the Xingyue Internet café is crowded. There were a lot of empty machines, but the counter was still crowded with people crowded with black press.

When these people enter the Internet café, the first thing they say at the front desk is usually -

"Webmaster, help me open the 'Phantom' helmet machine. ”

"I'm sorry sir, but the only four Phantom helmets in the store are already in use. The waitress said with a smile.

She had repeated the same phrase at least fifty times.

"What?!'s already full?" the man's eyes widened, "Oh no, why do you only have four here?"

This rhetoric apparently failed to satisfy the man. If it weren't for the fact that the waiter's little sister was a beauty, he couldn't help but scold.

As a loyal fan of Future Man Technology, he has been paying attention to the official website of "God-level Continent", looking forward to the promotional short films that will be updated every other month. In addition, those streamer players who were selected to participate in the closed beta were also clicked on by him.

Although these streamers are often silent about the content of the game, when it comes to whether the game is fun or not, even a certain streamer with facial paralysis shows the smile of an Internet addicted teenager.

It's been almost half a year since the official website was launched, and now he can finally get started, how can he not be anxious? As soon as he saw the news of the experience store pushed by Future People 1.0, he immediately put down what he was doing, locked the nearest cooperative Internet café on the map and rushed over.

But now, the people at the Star Internet Cafe actually tell others that it's full?

What are you kidding, it's also the largest Internet café in the neighborhood, and there are only 4 "Phantoms" out of thousands of machines?

"How long will it take. The man said impatiently.

Looking at the man's unkind face, the new waitress girl was almost about to cry.

"Yes, get in line. ”

"Of course I know the queue, I just ask how long it will take?" the man asked aggressively.

I couldn't stand it anymore, and the waiter who was busy with the work at hand immediately pulled the newcomer to the back, and then went into battle in person and said politely.

"Sir, do you need to be on the computer normally or experience the virtual reality service? If you would like to experience the virtual reality service, please register on our computer and queue up with 51 players in front of you. Please come in 102 hours and we'll send you a text message five hours in advance. Alternatively, if you have time in the evening, you can also choose to join the night queue, which currently has 23 players-"

As soon as he heard that the queue was going to take pictures for 5 days, the man immediately exploded and slapped the counter table and shouted.

"Grass, what a few rotten Internet cafes, you have to queue up on the Internet, I don't play anymore. ”

Although he said this, the man did not leave, but glared at the waiter, waiting for him to show a compromise expression.

The waiter, however, was clearly a veteran, and looked at him with a smile that did not show any hint of relief.

Seeing that this person had been stuck in the line and not moving, the people behind him had already begun to be dissatisfied.

"Can the front one hurry up, don't you play and get out of here? ”

"That's it, don't grind, like a TM sissy. ”

Hearing the voice from behind, the man's face turned red for a while. I want to go, but looking at the long line behind me, I'm afraid that I won't have a chance to experience it.

"Who, who said I don't play, just rank, how much!"

"Isn't that what you said?" there was a boos from behind, but the man was clearly planning to ignore it.

If you love it, let's say it, Lao Tzu is thick-skinned enough.

"$6 an hour. The waiter smiled and pointed to the sign at the door.

The price was not expensive, and the man felt a little more comfortable. It costs 12 yuan an hour to experience an Apple computer, which is a conscience of future technology.

The same scene also took place in large cities such as Wanghai City, Shenzhen City, and Shangjing, and gradually advanced to the interior. A few days later, New York, London, Paris and other international cities will also land the figure of the "Phantom" helmet.

When the first player reluctantly put down the virtual helmet and excitedly picked up his mobile phone to share his shock with netizens, it had already announced the beginning of the first intimate contact between human civilization and the virtual world. (To be continued.) )
