This clearing can be seen to be on an extremely strange desert island, and this Li Hong also knows that it is the birth island set by Mark and them.

At the beginning of the game, all players gather on the island of their birth and wait for the planes to drop them on the main battlefield of PUBG.

At this moment, a young man in a white jacket suddenly appeared next to Li Hong. This person is different from the robots around him, with his own expressions and movements.

"Player Mark 666 asked to connect, do you accept it?"

The prompt given by the system made Li Hong laugh, it turned out that this was Mark online.

After accepting the voice connection sent by Mark, Li Hong and Mark entered a private channel.

"Boss, how does this birth island feel?" Mark said proudly beside Li Hong.

Li Hong nodded and said approvingly: "It's very good, it's very fine." It's just that this birth island is too big, and I can't see the edge at this glance. There are only about 100 players in a game, is it necessary to set up such a large birth island? ”

PUBG's Birthplace Island is supposed to just give players of a game a place to wait for the game to start. As a result, the Birth Island doesn't need to be very big, as long as it can accommodate a hundred players.

But the birth island that appeared in Li Hong's sight was broader than Li Hong imagined. At this glance, there is no end to the coastline.

Mark explains: "Boss, Birth Island is an extremely important part of our virtual platform. Because this is a virtual world, if there is no suitable place for players to stay, then do they have to launch the virtual world and enter it again after playing a game? ”

"You mean that Birthplace Island will become a permanent residence for PUBG virtual world players?" Li Hong asked in surprise.

This was a big surprise to him, he didn't expect that Mark and the others would actually change the birth island to such a look.

"Yes, after entering the world of PUBG, players will have to stay on this birth island for the rest of the time, except for starting a game."

Mark explained with a smile: "Boss, didn't you notice that we talked for so long, and the game still didn't start?" ”

"What's going on?" Li Hong was a little puzzled.

When you enter the birth island, you will start the game by default, and you can start the game when you have enough people. But now that the number of players has long been enough, why is there no reaction at all?

Could it be that this has something to do with the change in the birth island?

"Are you telling me that this birth island has been converted into a game lobby by you? The link of Birth Island has been deleted? Li Hong said in surprise.

Rao is usually his brain, and at this time he has to admire Mark's brains. An enlarged version of the Birth Island is used as a lobby where all players will survive. To start the game, you'll take a plane to an island dedicated to the game.

"Yes boss, we did erase the Birth Island setting. This island is no longer the island of birth, but the player's game lobby. ”

Mark put it bluntly: "Every player who lands on PUBG will appear on this island. In the future, we will add cafes, bars, casinos and other settings on this island to facilitate the life of players on this island.

To start playing, simply select Match in your personal screen, and once you've got the number of people you have, everyone will be transported to a cabin.

When the game ends or dies, they are immediately teleported back to the island. If you look at the setting of a traditional online game, this island is the main city, where players communicate and form teams, and when you go to the next dungeon, it is another place. ”

"And how big is this island? How many players can it hold? Li Hong began to worry.

He didn't know about it before, but he thought that this birth island was too big, and it might be bigger than the game map. However, now that he understands the role of the Birth Island, Li Hong begins to worry that the area is not large enough.

After this PUBG is launched, the total number of players is impossible to be less. With so many players operating on one island, the island must be large enough.

Mark explained: "Boss, you can rest assured. When we first made this look like this, we had already taken into account the size of the island. In fact, this island can no longer be described as an island, but a real continent.

We have reshaped this continent in a 1:1 ratio. With more than 7 million square kilometers of continent, it is enough to accommodate hundreds of millions of players. ”

"Can you really fit that much?" Li Hong was a little surprised, can this place about the size of the Australian continent really fit so many players?

"In fact, more than that. Because it's just a virtual world, not the real world. Regardless of real-world concerns, we can fit billions of players. ”

Mark's words can scare Li Hong enough, and he still has billions of players? But after thinking about it, Li Hong had to admit that Mark was right.

This is a virtual world, not a real world, and since there is such a large continent in the virtual world that can accommodate it, billions of players can fully accommodate it.

"And our birth continent can be modified again, as long as we modify the code on the server, the area of the continent can be doubled." Mark said with a smile.

"That's good, at least this leaves us a way out. The number of players should be enough for now, but be prepared. Li Hong instructed uneasily.

In the end, Li Hong asked: "By the way, Mark, you said that you want to set up an entertainment venue on this birth island, how did you get it?" ”

"Well, we took into account that it can be a bit boring for players to be on the island of their birth. So, we're going to set up some entertainment venues to pass the time for Birth Island before going live. Players can wait for matchmaking time and communicate with other players. ”

"That's a good idea, but has Mark thought about an important question?" Li Hong asked.

"Uh...... What's the problem? Mark asked, puzzled.

Li Hong looked at Mark with a faint look in his eyes, and said in an unkind tone: "My Mr. CEO, how should you make a profit in this game?" ”

Mark was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Boss, we have also considered your problem." At first, we were thinking about the game's activation codes and qualifications, but we quickly rejected the proposal due to the game's mission to promote the metaverse.

Selling the game at one price alone will bring a lot of resistance to the promotion of our virtual world. Therefore, we can only use the charging method of League of Legends, and take the charging method of clothing and skins. ”

"Clothing and skin?" Li Hong was stunned.
