Chapter 456: Mining the Metaverse
Lincoln Elementary School in California, USA, has an advertisement for admissions.
The first thing that appeared in the advertisement was the live-action shooting site of Lincoln Elementary School, with a large lawn, a beautiful and tidy school building, a children's activity room, and a specimen room.
The background voice says: "Lincoln Elementary, a 100-year-old elementary school, where your child can have a happy childhood. ”
"An excellent children's psychological counselor will accompany your child's healthy and lively growth."
"Now, we're going to prepare an even more exciting lesson for your child, get up close and personal with dinosaurs, take him back to the Civil War, see President Lincoln, and sign the Emancipation Proclamation!"
The camera changes to a wide hillside meadow, a large and imposing building, towering between the hillsides, facing the green mountains.
The meadows are full of dandelions, flowers, and white rabbits, dragonflies flapping their wings, flying winged birds, and raccoons at ease.
"This is our new schoolhouse, a 1,000-hectare valley where there are no monsters in online games, no big monsters for your kids to see, just flocks of pheasants, flying white pigeons, and cute raccoons."
The camera cuts to a scene of elementary school students attending class.
A group of children, giggling and laughing on the grass, some naughty children lying on the grass, watching the small insects crawling around.
The teacher was sitting in the middle of them, explaining to them the dinosaurs of ancient times.
"Children, later, I will take you to the real Jurassic, to see the era when dinosaurs lived, you don't have to be afraid, they are all computer simulations, they do not exist in reality, and they will not cause harm to you."
"If you like, you can also come up to them and see their thick skin and watch them eat."
"Really? Dinosaurs won't bite my fingers? I'm afraid of pain! A little girl said cutely.
"I'm not afraid of dinosaurs biting my fingers! As long as it doesn't bite my ass, the last time I got the injection, the nurse aunt pricked my ass and left me lying on the bed for three days! A little boy smiled.
Looking at the children's innocent answers in the TV commercials, the parents of those children smiled knowingly.
In the advertisement, the teacher comforted the children, and then pulled a curtain on the right side with a pull of his hand, and a curtain of light suddenly appeared between the lawns.
At the end of the light curtain, there is a vast lake and hundreds of meters of towering trees.
Several long-necked dragons were drinking water by the lake, their high heads as if hanging in the sky, shaking slightly, so pleasant.
The children exclaimed in amazement and swarmed up from the grass.
Children are much more receptive than adults, and they have long been familiar with the control of virtual devices.
Before the teacher could get up, several children rushed into the light curtain.
"It's so tall, taller than the building we live in!"
"Teacher, can we grow so tall in the future?"
"Of course not, only this dinosaur can be so tall, it can reach its height." The teacher followed the children and ran into the light curtain, which gradually closed and disappeared.
The teacher held the thick thighs of the long-necked dragon and explained to the children the characteristics of the long-necked dragon and its living habits.
Such a lively and interesting on-site teaching greatly attracted the attention of the children, and everyone listened very seriously, and some children pulled some grass on the ground, stood up on tiptoe, and wanted to hand it to the long-necked dragon to eat.
"Teacher, if I stay here, will I be able to grow as tall as them? After that, can I go to the NBA and become a professional basketball player? A little boy asked excitedly.
"Of course not!" The cute little girl whispered, "If you grow too tall, the league won't want you, because you can't get on the basketball court!" ”
Rumble~
All the parents of the children who saw this paragraph burst out laughing.
The technical prowess of Infinity is simply awe-inspiring!
With such a vivid scene and unique teaching mode, parents whose children are studying at Lincoln Elementary School are naturally pleased, while parents who have not yet chosen a school for their children are very excited.
They do not expect their children to become scientists and well-read scholars in the future, but they can be sure that their children will have an innocent, romantic, and happy childhood here.
Not to mention children, it is these adults who hope that their age can be reversed by more than ten years, and they can return to school and enjoy the fun of children in such virtual teaching.
While parents have made up their minds, they have some regrets.
It's a pity that if we could have this novel and unique teaching mode back then, then how happy our childhood would be!
All of this comes from the technological development of Infinity.
Without them, our children would inevitably follow the same path of growth as we did.
They smiled with relief and sighed that the children had a better time than ever before!
Evil Genius Sentai Clan! Evil Genius Sentai Clan!
Amid the cheers of tens of thousands of people in unison, Edward, Isar, Leo and others slowly walked out and arrived at the Central Arena.
"Edward! I'm optimistic about you! I've placed an eighty gold coin bet on you! Don't let me down! ”
"Isar, protect Edward, as long as Edward's life is not in danger, you will win!"
"Honey, don't scream, help me buy ten bets of Edward, oh my God, what a handsome magician, I love him so much!"
In the noisy stands all around, there were huge sounds one after another, which made the entire arena form a resonance field.
Edward and the others turned their heads to look around, dazed by the loud cheers.
"There are more people here today, at least 100,000 people, right?" Leo said with some uncertainty.
He has always been calm, and he can't help but be a little excited in his voice.
When, as an engineer, was he surrounded by so many spectators and received the cheers of the crowd?
"Of course! With my swordsman Isar, of course there are many people coming! Yesterday we made our first appearance, swept the West Side Arena, losing 16 rounds in a row, not only a lot of people came to watch the game, but also the real world, and our game was being broadcast at this time! Isar said with a big grin.
Edward, who was not accustomed to such a high profile, muttered softly, "We are like a bunch of monkeys being visited!" ”
"Monkeys are monkeys, at least we can make money! Roar! Isar enjoyed the excitement of the spectacle, drew his sword and swung it twice into the air, triggering even more exuberant shouts around him.
Edward smiled wryly and lowered his head.
Arena of Unlimited Duels, a virtual arena show that is becoming more and more famous in both the real world and the virtual world, is attracting attention from all sides at a rapid pace.
Contestants who compete here will be severely punished in the event of death, and will be sentenced to a reduction of one to five ranks, depending on the votes of the audience.
You must know that after the game is officially operated, without the super high experience value of fighting monsters, each level will be extremely painful.
Dropping one to five levels is a very severe punishment.
Every team that comes to the Arena of Unlimited Duel will do everything they can to achieve the final victory.
Desperate battles, fierce confrontations, and brilliant magic skills make countless tourists so drunk and addicted.
As virtual worlds gradually open up, the boundaries between gamers and ordinary tourists are increasingly blurred.
Those who stay in the safe zone all day long, shuttling through various scenic locations, are not necessarily just tourists, and those who explore in the wilderness are not necessarily players, and there may be players with itchy hands for a while.
It's an open world, a virtual world with all kinds of entertainment.
And the Infinite Duel Arena is a new way to play here: betting!
The virtual world management company hired professional managers from Aomen and Las Vegas to open this virtual place.
Visitors can purchase tickets to over 500 dueling arenas to watch teams battle their duels live and place bets on their chosen teams.
In reality, Infinity, cable networks, etc., also join forces to broadcast all the events, and TV viewers can buy gold coins from the trading platform through landlines and mobile phones, and then bet.
For now, the amount of transactions is insignificant, and the daily flow of funds does not exceed one million euros.
But its influence has far surpassed that of other forms of gambling.
Gamblers all over the world have focused on this new gambling project, which has attracted great attention from all walks of life and in ancient Rome.
Although it is called the Infinite Duel Arena, there will be characters who will be killed and killed, but this is in the virtual world after all, and those moralists are dissatisfied but have no way to blame.
On the contrary, it was the spectators and gamblers who expressed their opinions: in order to make the duel competition more exciting, they hope to increase the punishment, since the players who participate in the unlimited duel competition can share the gambling money, then once they fail, they should also be punished more severely, and it is best to wash all their ranks!
Let them become newcomers with nothing in the virtual world, this is a veritable "unlimited duel competition"!
The inherent gambler mentality, cruelty, and thrill-seeking nature of human beings have been brought into the virtual world as always.
After discussion, the virtual world management company also made changes to the rules.
Players and teams participating in unrestricted duels can choose different punishment levels of competitions, which can be exhibition matches and practice matches without any punishment, and of course, such competitions can only earn a meager income.
And the most serious thing is the top event of level whitewashing!
