More than 40 years ago, two young men who learned programming became famous in the domestic game industry with a national style stand-alone RPG "Hetuluo Book" and officially launched their banner.

Hetu Luoshu, within a piece of paper, is pregnant with a thousand universes, and there is nothing else, and the two young men who founded the world in the painting are the founders of Longcheng Entertainment, Gao Yao and Xu Jianwei.

No one would have thought that forty years later, the first VRMMORPG in China was born, when the two high-spirited young people were already gray-haired old men, but their original intentions never changed - wholeheartedly, just to make the most fun games.

The upcoming "Hetu" perfectly witnesses the vision set by the two predecessors at the beginning of the establishment of Dragon City Entertainment and their legendary lives.

Gao Yao and Xu Jianwei are both representatives of the national style game, but this time in Hetu, Gao Yao's ambitions are obviously not limited to China, so Telow asked his son Gao Tianyi to add more Western elements to the research and development process. From professional races to clothing and architecture, and even to civil factions outside of the state, such as mercenaries, adventurers' associations, and assassin leagues that were prevalent in the medieval West. Players can join one of their choice to learn combat or life skills in addition to their own class.

In terms of planning, Gao Yao's experience is obviously far better than that of his young son, but unfortunately the former suffered from liver cancer at an early age and has undergone three liver transplants so far.

Dragon City Entertainment's performance has declined seriously in recent years, and the chairman is in jeopardy, so the outside world is not optimistic about the company's many remarks.

However, just today, a news in the Internet game section instantly made headlines on all media platforms - "China's first VRMMORPG will be officially launched during the Spring Festival".

As soon as the news came out, it immediately exploded on the Internet, and the headquarters of Dragon City Entertainment was also besieged by reporters at the first time. These were obviously expected by Gao Tianyi, who answered a few questions perfunctorily at the door, and after satisfying his appetite, he took the opportunity to convene a press conference.

"May I ask Mr. Gao, I heard that your father has been recuperating in the hospital recently, I don't know how his physical condition is, and is he involved in your company's decision this time?"

"If you care about Chairman Gao's health, you should go to the hospital, not here. I would like to advise other journalists, I hope you can focus on the game itself, and don't waste your opportunity on these unnecessary questions. ”

Gao Tianyi is very strong, although he has not yet reached the age of establishment, but he is comfortable with such a major occasion, and under his reminder, the next questions are much more nutritious.

"Mr. Gao, as we all know, the games produced by your company have always represented the conscience of the industry, but you can't make money with your conscience, and there are many documents that show that your company's performance has been declining. May I ask, with the launch of "Hetu" this time, is your company ready to uphold the consistent style and seek benefits for the majority of players? Or are you going to rely on the gimmick of VRMMORPG to create a kryptonite game to fill the gap for your company in this time? ”

"The R&D and operating costs of Hetu are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and the routine maintenance of servers alone is a huge expense, so the company naturally needs to make a profit." Speaking of this, Gao Tianyi changed his words, "But the main profit of "Hetu" will come from various sponsors in the game - clothing, food, transportation, shelter...... For players, there is no channel for kryptonite, and "Hetu" will not open the real money game store, and the virtual currency and items and equipment in the game can only be obtained through the player's own efforts. The only thing that players need to spend on this game is our own VR equipment. ”

"Can you tell us about the price of this device?"

"The specific price will be released by the marketing department before the official release of "Hetu", and what I can guarantee here is that our VR equipment will definitely be the highest level of configuration, and it is the most cost-effective in the same level."

……

Some people are happy and some are worried, "Hetu" is coming strongly, causing turmoil in the entire online game industry, but for the ordinary people who love games, they are eager to try, and even those who don't like to play games themselves are also very interested in this legendary virtual world.

Nowadays, the pressure of the whole social life is becoming more and more huge, and many people are often overwhelmed, and the appearance of "Hetu" seems to give these people some hope to escape from the real world. For a while, the streets and alleys will hear the sound of discussion about it.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Dijing, Liu Yitian was at home.

Since the last time she was told by Lulu Haosheng, Shi Yi arrived home on time at this time every day.

However, today's atmosphere is obviously not right, Liu Yitian and Lulu are sitting listlessly on the sofa, especially the person in front of them, with a loveless look.

"What's wrong, laid off early?" Today, the world is full of propaganda and discussion about VR games, so Shi Yi also guessed a little, and said with a smile.

"I had already guessed the ending, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly." Liu Yitian said quietly, "Lao Tzu spent hundreds of thousands of private money to push himself to the position of second-tier anchor, but I didn't expect that in just half a year, he was lost." ”

"Shenma! Your list was bought?! Lulu exploded all of a sudden, and scolded angrily, "Hmph, I'm going to tell my godmother!" ”

Liu Yitian was afraid of the previous one, but now he is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and replied weakly: "Anyway, it's the same whether you tell or not, the old man said, if you don't mix well, go back to sell seafood, it seems that I will live with salted fish for the rest of my life." ”

"Hehe, I think you like seafood, don't you?" Shi Yi smiled, "You are not too young, and there is nothing wrong with going home to take over your father's business, you don't have to start from scratch to prove your ability." ”

"Actually, I'm not a discontented person, but I've been arranged clearly since I was a child, and I really don't want to compromise like this this time."

Liu Yitian rubbed his face in frustration, and after a while, he suddenly seemed to remember something, pulled Shi Yi and said, "Why don't we go to gangsters in "Hetu"?" Our boss received the news that this time the prince of Dragon City Entertainment is going to carry out a racing event, there are seven forces in "Hetu", as long as any player can take the lead in any force to become the highest officer, not only can he get a cash reward of five million, but more importantly, he can sign a contract with Dragon City Entertainment and become a special player. Special players can use some of the rights of the Eye of God, in other words, they can become officially recognized streamers. ”

"Clever, I specially stated that the live broadcast form of 'personal name' is not allowed, it turned out to be paving the way for myself. However, if you really don't want to go back to inherit the family business, this is an opportunity for you, and with your strength, I'm afraid there is no game that you can't play. As for me, I won't accompany you, my senior brother from the medical school recommended me to a surgical hospital in S City, and I may be going to pass a year ago. Shi Yi refused with a smile.

"Really? That's fine! Although he was rejected, when he heard the good news, Liu Yitian was still happy for his brother from the bottom of his heart.

Lulu on the side finally smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations to Brother Eleven, it's just that it will be difficult to see Brother Eleven in the future." ”

"If I have the opportunity in the future, I will try to come back, and I can't bear my family." Shi Yi said with a smile.

"Did Dean Lu say hello over there?" Liu Yitian asked.

"No, I only received the news in the afternoon, and I'll go over and talk to her in person tomorrow."

"Don't put so much pressure on yourself about the welfare home, you are not the only man in the hospital, everyone can always get through it if they find a way together. It's a big deal that when I get the bonus, I'll give it to you to pay off the debt first. ”

"Oh? That's up to you, haha. ”

Although Shi Yi knew the weight of the burden on his shoulders, he didn't show it on his face at all. The three young people went to sleep in the middle of the night, but now no one would have thought that the emergence of a virtual reality game would change their lives in the future.
