Following the small mermaid guide, Wei Wendong glanced at the clock on the screen of the giant tower in the center.

【12:10】

After a moment's hesitation, he called out the menu, preparing to send a text message to a few teammates who were scheduled to open a wasteland, asking them to wait a while before opening a group dungeon. However, when he opened his friends list, he found that several professional players from the Royal Guild had already sent him a message.

"Captain, can the copy be ten minutes late? The system of this helmet has just been updated, so I'll figure it out first. ”

"Old Shadow, I'll go squatting first, you wait for me, it's five minutes!"

"Veteran, do you see the advertisement pushed by the future technology? Is this really an advertisement? Isn't it a new game they made?"

Wei Wendong smiled bitterly.

These guys are about to open up a legendary-level dungeon, why did they lose their chains at critical moments.

But then his old face turned red, and he was just about to send them a message to delay the time of land reclamation, and it didn't seem convincing to say this.

After hesitating for a moment, he still edited a group text message and sent the message of delaying the wasteland copy for half an hour to his teammates who participated in the group.

The reason reads: [Some teammates can't arrive at the dungeon due to practical reasons, and the opening time is delayed by half an hour.] 】

Ding――

The letter was sent successfully.

Just as he was about to close the system menu, he saw an avatar jump up in the friends bar.

Wei Wendong 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 it's more eye-catching. So the two met offline a few times and became friends in reality, and they were later pulled into the royal union by him.

But this Yue Hui is just a casual player. In reality, he is the boss of a certain company, except for being well equipped, the level and technology are just like that.

"Old Wei, what do you think?" As soon as the voice communication was connected, Yue Hui immediately said.

"How else can you see it. Wei Wendong rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "The black technology of the Future People Group." I'm not surprised. ”

Although he was not shocked by what he said, he was actually surprised in his heart.

"I heard that there are pre-sale properties here, don't you want to take a look?"

"I can't afford it! I'm afraid of millions. I was curious to walk around, and I couldn't tell if I would travel here in the future. ”

"Hey, this doesn't look like Wei Wan from our guild said this. Yue Hui quipped, "This 10 million yuan is at most half a year's salary." ”

The news that the boss of the royal family spent 20 million to sign the shadow demon. It's not big news in their professional circles anymore. At first, they felt that the boss's investment was not worth it. Twenty million is too much. Later, they had to admire, or the boss had a vision.

It's a world-class online game.

The number of active players worldwide exceeds 100 million!

In just half a year, Shadow Demon has already won no less than 30 million benefits for the royal family in the game by virtue of his outstanding game awareness and experience accumulated in internal testing!

This advertising space can even affect the stock price of listed companies in a certain way!

In this information age, it works well. The sound of IP is money.

Of course, these are all off-topic.

"Come on. You have a lot of money to do business, and it's almost the same if you have that spare money to come here and buy a set. You see, I'm going to play a game, and I can't beg for food when I really go to a foreign country. ”

"Xinguo is not a foreign country, there are more and more Chinese, so you should go to Guangzhou. And where is the game playing? I'm going to buy a set to try it, anyway, it says you can get a refund at any time. Yue Hui said with a smile.

"Think again. ”

After the end of the communication, Wei Wendong began to seriously think about his friend's construction. But after thinking about it, it was a bit too hasty to make a decision so quickly. Buying a house is a major life event involving starting a family, and you have to think about it carefully. Now his savings are enough to buy a small villa on the outskirts of Wanghai City and settle overseas...... There's really no need for that.

Although he also admits that the futuristic style of the city does attract young people like him.

Following Xiaoyu through the main road, Wei Wendong looked around and felt a little at a loss.

As the Future People Group advertised, the technology here is very high, but it is precisely because of this that the dazzling array of holograms and buildings makes him feel a little at a loss for a while.

As if seeing his hesitation, Xiaoyu flew into his ear and whispered.

"Any tourist who enters Penglai City can get a pair of digital glasses as a personal terminal. Because it's in virtual reality, we've hidden the glasses. If necessary, you can call it up through the guò system menu. ”

According to Xiaoyu's instructions, Wei Wendong chose the icon of the glasses from the menu. The particles of light converged in his hand, and a pair of glasses lay in the palm of his hand.

Wei Wendong fiddled with the glasses in his hand, and then rested them on the bridge of his nose.

It's light, the lenses are thin, and you hardly feel anything when you wear it.

His gaze focused on the map, and he was amazed as the pale blue particles of light converged at his feet to form a path that stretched towards the target he had chosen on the map.

He stared at the cursor on the ground, took off his glasses, and the cursor vanished. Put it on again and the cursor reappears.

God!

Just then, a word crossed his mind.

"Is this ...... Is it AR?"

Augmented Reality!

He remembers that Microsoft's Hololens glasses have a similar function, but he doesn't know if he can do the process of futuristic technology, marking the path to the destination in three-dimensional space.

"That's right. Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"Is it okay to ask another question? Are you a human agent?"

"Xiaoyu is AI. The tail waved in the air, and Xiaoyu dragged her chin and said with a smile. "Just put on your AR glasses. You can see the exclusive light rain. ”

After being silent for a long time, Wei Wendong sighed and said.

"Your boss is a genius...... Virtual reality + real estate, and artificial intelligence that is more like humans than humans as a 'shopping guide'. It's hard not to get rich. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. Xiaoyu blinked and said playfully.

After walking along several main roads, at the entrance of a residential area, Wei Wendong stopped and looked at the apartment building.

In the doorway, he saw a holographic panel with a whole row of green labels written on it.

"For sale?" he silently read the words on the holographic panel.

"Penglai City implements digital municipal management, and your local assets and properties are tied to your personal ID. It can be managed via a special interface. For example, the holographic panel at the door of the apartment can be used to sell and buy real estate, and these sales information will also be synchronized with other areas......" Xiaoyu patiently explained to him.

That's when it happened. The green label jumps to orange, and the [Sell] label becomes [Bid: 10000].

"What is this?"

"Because the property now belongs to the Future People Group, the initial sale was made by auction by default. A Tier 1 unit like this is only about 80 square meters, and the starting price is only $10,000. Xiaoyu explained.

But because there are so many houses. Unless there are some people who only want to live on a specific floor. Auction will occur. Each price increase shall not be less than $1,000, and the transaction will be locked in after three days.

"Only $10,000?" Wei Wendong muttered to himself.

"Each user is only allowed to buy one set of level 1-2 units, and only more than 3 units are allowed to buy multiple units, but there are certain restrictions. Xiaoyu reminded.

On the map, there are 200,000 Tier 1 units for sale, mainly in the outer ring area. There are also 2 units that are slightly more expensive and have a lot closer to the middle of the ring. In general, the closer you are to the middle, the more expensive the house price is. But there are exceptions. For example, the sea-view villa on the man-made beach in the outermost ring is the highest level 5 house type. The price is comparable to that of the central area.

Wei Wendong then looked at the housing prices in the giant tower area, and couldn't help but be secretly speechless.

The room at the top of the tower is priced at $1 billion, but it is gray and does not appear to be for sale.

There is also the bottom of the tower...... True, there is also an underwater part at the bottom of the tower. The whole island is like a spinning top. And the room that goes deepest underwater is located at the tip of the entire "spinning top", and the spiral-shaped room is completely wrapped in seawater, with a price tag of $10 billion.

It's still not for sale......

No matter how you look at it, it's just a random price! I don't plan to sell it! Wei Wendong complained fiercely in his heart.

"What if the city fails in the end? I remember you were still working on the seabed. ”

"Future People Group will refund in full. Xiaoyu smiled, "With the future people group's global industry, we will definitely be able to afford to pay for all investors around the world." ”

With the financial resources of the Future People Group, there is really no need to worry about bankruptcy. Wei Wendong smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was actually worried about such a stupid question just now.

"Will anyone really settle here?" he asked the most crucial question as he looked at Xiaoyu.

If a city has only houses and no people, it can only be called a ghost town.

"Judging from the number of units that have been auctioned since then, there are already 110,000 people who plan to settle here. According to the plan of the Future People Group, the development of this maritime city is mainly focused on tourism and scientific research. After the completion of Penglai City, it will be moved to the sea area between Koro Island and Anga Island, because there are convenient transport airships and ships, and the residents of the island can easily go to any island in the new country to work. After finishing speaking, Xiaoyu added.

"It's like taking the bus. ”

"Venice on the sea?" Wei Wendong muttered to himself, then looked around again.

The environment is very beautiful, and to be honest, he was really impressed. However, thinking that even if he lived in Wanghai City, it seemed that as long as he passed the helmet guò, he could come here anytime and anywhere, and his longing for this Penglai City was a little less......

But just then, he suddenly noticed the countdown in the lower right corner of the view.

"What's this timer?"

"Oh, this one. Xiaoyu covered her mouth lightly and made an expression that she had almost forgotten something, "This is the time that users can stay in this virtual reality." ”

"Wait...... That is to say—"

"That's right. Xiaoyu flew directly in front of him and stopped, looking at him with a smile, "The advertising time is only 30 minutes, and buying a house and applying for a tour can be done through the guò phantom helmet." If you want to see the light rain and the beautiful city of Penglai, please look forward to its completion. ”

Hold the grass! Play this set again for a limited time!

However, before Wei Wendong finished scolding, the qiē around him shattered like snowflakes.

For a brief two seconds, he was back to the pure white cube.

Faced with the empty virtual reality space, I was speechless for a long time
