Across the ocean.

The late night wind was like a kiss from the goddess of ice and snow, and even in a sheepskin coat, Locke still felt as if his body was leaking everywhere, and he couldn't help but swing as soon as he got out of the car.

If it weren't for the urgency, he wouldn't have slipped out at such a late hour, and it was still in such cold weather.

It's too dangerous, both at night and in the weather.

But tonight at 12 a.m. is the day when Shenzhou VR goes on sale.

This is a big deal on the same city forum, he looked at the pictures on the Internet, the only Shenzhou VR store in the city has been blocked by a long flow of people now, if he comes over tomorrow morning, I'm afraid he will have to pack the equipment box at the door for the lazy clerk.

That's why he had to come out at this time.

As for online ordering?

He never hoped to be able to snap up Shenzhou VR from the Internet, and he consciously backed down just by seeing the number of people who were booked.

And if you buy it in an offline store, you may also randomly buy mecha painting equipment, just like opening a blind box.

Of course, if you don't want it, return it to the official, and get a replacement of the normal painting equipment, and get a compensation of 200 US dollars.

But if you sell it, you can make at least more than 2,000 US dollars.

This is also the biggest reason why many people choose offline stores.

After locking the car door, Locke ran directly to the store dozens of meters away, and by the way, he glanced at the time, it was already half past ten, and there was still an hour and a half to go on sale.

There weren't too many people outside the store, and it didn't look like the online situation was entirely true.

Locke let out a breath of fairy breath in the cold, and quickly rushed towards the shop through the snow.

However......

"Shit, why is there another one?"

"There are enough people here, don't come here again, man, hurry back to your mother's arms!"

"Go to the back and line up, I hope you can buy it, so that I can buy it in front of you."

He just approached, and made a little footsteps, and there were long rows of cement piles at the door of the store to raise their heads, no, which are these cement piles, these are all living people!

It's just that these people are all squatting by the wall because the weather is too cold, so he didn't see it just now.

These people stared at him like a wild wolf, and many of them spoke in a rather unkind tone.

"It's too early to rejoice! What was released in the early morning, are you busy queuing up now to go back and use it in the sheets? ”

At this time, Locke realized that he was happy too soon.

But no matter how unhappy he was, he could only line up at the back of the line.

It was a long line, and by the time he walked along the chain to the end, he couldn't see the signboard of the store.

"Shit!"

Locke could only watch the time while queuing, hoping that the people in front of him would speed up and make room for himself.

While waiting, twelve o'clock quietly came, and the bell rang for the sale.

But the cheerers were only at the front, and they could only listen to the sound in the back, smell the scent of the new packaging being opened, and fantasize about the heating in the store......

"Hurry up!" Locke looked at the time, seeing that the time was almost two o'clock, and became more and more anxious.

It's not like he doesn't have nothing to do in the evenings, his job is quite special, he often has to work two shifts, and sometimes there are even training and classes in the evening, such as tonight.

The time slowly came to half past one, and Locke had just arrived at the door of the store, so he had to send a message to his boss stating that he would be half an hour late.

As soon as the message was sent, he was allowed to enter the store.

Locke immediately rushed in, and directly hugged the waiter's shoulders, and said quickly: "Give me the best set of Shenzhou VR, I want a nervous control, the same style as their prosthetics, I have money, go and ...... immediately"

The waiter was a little stunned, but he immediately chose the top-of-the-line Shenzhou suit.

Holding several large and small boxes, and pushing an unassembled universal treadmill on his feet, Locke rushed to the cash register in a 100-meter manner.

And then......

Start queuing for checkout.

While waiting, the time slowly moved from half past one to two o'clock, and finally it was his turn to settle the bill.

However, at this time, a call came into the phone, and he almost didn't throw the phone away.

"Sir?" The waiter looked at him suspiciously.

"Check out for me now!" Locke pulled out his credit card, which took less than twenty seconds, and then he rushed out of the store with a large pile of goods.

During this process, the phone's ringtone has not been turned off.

Locke picked it up immediately.

A middle-aged man's cold and stern voice suddenly came from the opposite side, as cold as an ice blade.

"Mr. Locke, it's two o'clock now, and it's time for our training session to begin."

Locke ran wildly with a lot of stuff and a cell phone in his ear, and could only gasp and say, "I've sent you a letter asking for leave." ”

“……”

There was a moment of silence on the other side, and then he said, "I thought that thing was just a prank on your part, so now I should turn that letter out and look at it again." ”

There was a sound of keyboard and mouse on the other side.

"You told me that you were worried that Shenzhou VR would be too difficult to buy, so you had to go out at night and queue up at the store, and you also delayed our training because of the large number of people in line......"

There was a long silence on the other side, and Locke had already returned to his car with a large bag and a small bag, loading his things, and the only sound on the phone was his panting.

"Mr. Locke, do you know who you are now?" Finally, the other side couldn't help but take the initiative to speak, but the voice was colder than before.

"Of course, I know."

Locke returned to the car, put on the Bluetooth headset on the car, started the car and flew wildly on the road.

There was a long silence in the car, and I don't know how long it took for him to finally reach his destination.

A building area with the sign of "Space Fighter Flight Training Simulation Base".

Locke's car had just been parked, and his boss on the phone had already appeared in the parking lot, with a large group of people.

Seeing this, Locke took a step back at a loss.

The boss took a big step forward and asked people to open the trunk of the car, revealing the Shenzhou VR inside.

opened it on the spot, and it was still a red envelope painting of the red storm, which can be said to have won the jackpot.

However, at this time, Locke only dared to stand next to him with his head bowed, and he didn't dare to do more with his expression, only when he opened the box and saw the red inside, his eyes jumped.

The boss looked at the equipment in front of him and said coldly: "It seems that our Mr. Locke is not badly lucky, and he actually won a lucky prize." ”

Hearing this, Locke suddenly raised his head, his boss actually knew about the special painting of Shenzhou VR, is this still his own person?

Is there a salvation for yourself?

However, this idea has just risen, and the next second it is sent back to hell.

I heard my boss continue: "The rest of the base will definitely like this special style, let's thank Mr. Locke for going out in line in the middle of the night and contributing to the base." ”

As soon as the boss's words were finished, the colleagues next to him were already laughing and thanking him, gloating so much that they were not like a person, but more like a dog......

Locke looked up again, his eyes almost red.

Is this confiscation?

This is the wife he went out in the middle of the night to marry!

Is this confiscated?

But that's not all.

The sound of skate blades rang in his ears again.

"From now on, you will be downgraded from an E4 Senior Pilot to an E3 Pilot, which means that your salary will be cut from $2,262 to $2,042 per month."

The "wife" who went out and worked so hard to marry was confiscated as soon as she returned to the base, and then her rank was demoted, and her salary was cut......

Locke didn't know if he should cry or not, but he knew that the co-workers who were laughing on the side were real dogs!

……

At this time, Chen Shen and Comrade Chen, who were on the other side of the ocean, were reuniting in the base.

Xie Yiyi and Chen Shen's mother were watching TV, chatting about cosmetics to food, and then talking about "Pacific Rim", which was just released today, and even replayed it on TV with great interest.

At this time, the movie has finished the ending song, and easter eggs have appeared.

The easter egg is not long, just a faceless teenager driving a small mecha that resembles a boxer in the ruins of a steel city.

Although the young man did not show his face, no matter whether he was familiar with the mecha or not, when he saw this picture, he could think of Chen Shen a few years ago.

Obviously, it goes without saying who the protagonist of the second part of "Pacific Rim" is.

This is also the birthday gift that Xie Yiyi mentioned to Chen Shen before.

This easter egg did not cause any sensation at the end of the screening, after all, the audience in this world has not been trained by the Women's Federation, and they have the habit of listening to the ending song of the movie to determine the easter eggs before leaving.

Many people leave after the movie has been shown and go back to their hotels to sleep.

It wasn't until I woke up in the morning that the influence of this easter egg fermented and quickly became hot news.

Although Crimson Storm is also the world's top stream, it is still a little worse than its creator, Chen Shen.

And Chen Shen, as the inventor of a real-life mecha, was included in a mecha movie of his own and became a mecha pilot, driving his first mecha in reality......

It's hard to make people not interested in this plot!

Now that the movie has only been released for less than a day, some people are already urging Ye Yong to start the filming of the second part as soon as possible, and strive to catch up with the summer season......

When Ye Yong saw such comments, he only felt that his liver ached, such a movie is good anywhere, but it is a bit of a drain.

On the other side, there is the father and son of Chen Shen and Comrade Lao Chen, the two of them are wearing a neurologically controlled version of Shenzhou VR, driving the mecha inside online.

A fulfillment of Comrade Chen's dream of driving a mecha that he did not succeed in driving a boxer.

"No, how do you feel that this mecha is a little disobedient to me?"

"The machine is very good, it must be Dad, you haven't gotten used to it......"

Chen Shen watched the mecha driven by Comrade Chen rampaging in the three-dimensional environment of the game, and from time to time he made some ghost animal anti-human actions, and it took a long time to barely control it, and he almost laughed out loud.

After a long time, Comrade Lao Chen took off his headset, a little depressed: "No, am I really not suitable for driving a mecha?" ”

"Didn't I tell you before, it's better for young people to drive mechas......

Chen Shen looked at his father's frustration holding the headset in his hand, and decided not to explain to him that the mecha in VR was different from the real situation.

"Impossible, I feel like I'm still young......"

On the contrary, the mother on the other side glanced at her, chuckled and said, "You fool, your son is turning a corner to comfort you, otherwise, according to the recent popular saying, you should be called a new era of brain disability." ”

Lao Chen immediately reacted to this, and he was very clear about the recent evaluation of people on the Internet who are unable to use neural controllers proficiently.

The Shenzhou experience store has been renamed the brain disability identification center online!

Is this good for a middle-aged man like him?

"Forget it, this thing is not my own production, what is not broken, I don't have the final say......" Comrade Lao Chen threw the headset aside and simply stopped playing.

I just happened to have a phone call, and when I picked it up, I listened to it and reported the results.

"Mr. Chen, since the noon sale, up to now, our Shenzhou VR system equipment has been ......"

The other side was very excited, and his voice trembled violently.

"It's all sold out now."

"How can it be so fast?"

As soon as these words came out, even Comrade Lao Chen himself was stunned.

Because it's completely different from their market research results and predictions.

Or maybe it's too big!

Their best prediction was that this batch would be sold out within a month, but they never thought that they would be able to clear the stock directly on the day of release.

After all, that's 130,000 sets!

The total value of the goods is more than 2 billion yuan!

What products can be sold directly for 2 billion within one day of going on sale?

That thing has to be logs on top of a log cart, right?

And for Shenzhou VR, although the technical popularity is impeccable, the edges and corners can still be seen clearly.

At present, it is a new non-essential entertainment product that is extremely dependent on the industrial ecology.

What's worse is that the current ecology of Shenzhou World is still in its infancy, and it can even be said that there is nothing except for the software that comes with the machine and some applications that have undergone simple three-dimensional processing.

Those applications that have undergone simple three-dimensional processing, to put it bluntly, are to open a suspended web window in VR, which is like an external system, and is essentially a two-dimensional display.

The first goal they set was that in two years' time, the ecological development of Shenzhou World would be able to catch up with the console game market in the same period, and it would be enough to form a medium-sized player base that could continue to recruit new players.

But no one thought that such a scene would occur.

How did more than 2 billion goods be sold out?

"Who is so rich?"

This question is also what Comrade Chen is most concerned about, so he asked it directly.
