Following the little mermaid guide, Wei Wendong looked at the clock on the screen in the central tower.
【12:10】
After hesitating for a moment, he called out the menu and was about to send a message to his teammates to ask them to wait for a while. However, when he opened his friend list, he found that the professional players from the Kings Guild had already sent him a message.
"Captain, is the sub ten minutes late? The helmet's system just updated, let me think about it first. "
"Old Ying, I'm going to do a big one. Wait for me, just five minutes!"
"Old Captain, did you see the advertisement from Future Technology? Is this really an advertisement? Is it a new game they made? "
Wei Wendong smiled bitterly.
[These guys are about to start the legendary dungeon. Why did they drop the ball at such a crucial moment?]
But then his face turned red. He was just about to send a message to them to delay the dungeon, so his words didn't seem convincing at all.
After hesitating for a moment, he composed a group message and sent the message to his teammates that the dungeon was delayed by half an hour.
The reason was:
The message was sent successfully.
Just as he was about to close the system menu, he saw an avatar pop up in his friend list.
Wei Wendong opened it and saw it was a communication request from Old Yue. This person was a friend he met in the game and played as a summoner. Because they liked each other, the two met a few times offline and became friends in real life. Later, he was pulled into the Kings Guild.
But Yue Hui was only a casual player. In reality, he was the boss of a company. Other than having better equipment, his level and skills were mediocre.
"Old Wei, what do you think?" Yue Hui immediately said as soon as the communication was connected.
"What else can I think?" Wei Wendong rolled his eyes and laughed. "I'm already used to Future Group's advanced technology."
Although he spoke calmly, he was actually very surprised in his heart.
"I heard there are pre-sale properties here. You don't want to take a look?"
"I can't afford it! A house here would probably cost up to a few million yuan. I'm just curious to walk around. Maybe I'll come here to travel in the future. "
"Hey? That doesn't sound like something our guild's Wei Wanwan would say. "Yue Hui joked," This ten million yuan is at most half a year of your salary. "
The news of King spending 20 million to sign Shadow Demon was no longer a big deal in the pro scene. At first, they felt that the boss's investment was not worth it. After all, spending 20 million was too much. Later, they couldn't help but admire their boss's foresight.
This was a world-class online game.
There were over 100 million active players in the world!
In just half a year, Shadow Fiend had already won no less than 30 million for the Royalty in the game with his outstanding gaming awareness and experience accumulated during the closed beta. Setting everything else aside, the top ten players in the monthly PVP tournament would have famous guilds and sponsors behind their IDs.
This advertising space could even influence the stock price of a listed company to a certain extent!
In this information age, if it worked well, the original IP was money.
Of course, this was a digression.
"Come on, you have a lot of money from your business. It's more like you have the spare cash to buy a condom here. Look at me, I only know how to play games. If I really went abroad, I would be begging. "
"Xin isn't considered a foreign country. There are more and more Chinese. Just think of it as going to Guangzhou. And doesn't it matter where you play games? I'm going to buy a set to try since they said I can get a refund at any time. "Yue Hui laughed.
"Let's think about it."
After ending the communication, Wei Wendong began to seriously consider his friend's suggestion. But after thinking about it carefully, it was too hasty to make a decision so soon. Buying a house was a life event that involved starting a family. He had to carefully consider it. His current savings were enough to buy a small mansion in the rural area of Wanghai. Living overseas … was not necessary.
Although he also admitted that the futuristic style of the city did attract young people like him.
Following Xiao Yu down the main road, Wei Wendong looked around and was at a loss of what to do.
Just like Future Group's publicity, the place was highly technologically advanced. However, it was precisely because of this that the dazzling holographic images and buildings made him feel at a loss.
As if she saw his hesitation, Xiao Yu flew to his ear and whispered.
"Any tourist that enters Penglai can get a pair of digital glasses as a personal terminal. Because we're in virtual reality, we've hidden the glasses. If you need it, you can bring it up through the system menu. "
Following Xiao Yu's instructions, Wei Wendong selected the glasses icon from the menu. Light particles gathered in his hand and a pair of glasses appeared in his palm.
Wei Wendong played with the glasses in his hand and then put it on his nose.
It was light, the lenses were thin, and it didn't feel much when wearing it.
His eyes focused on the location on the map, and a surprising scene happened. The light blue particles of light converged under his feet to form a path, extending towards the target he had selected on the map.
He stared blankly at the cursor on the ground. He took off the glasses and the cursor disappeared. He put it back on and the cursor reappeared.
Magical!
Just then, a term appeared in his head.
"Is this … AR?"
Reality enhancement!
He remembered that Microsoft's HoloLens also had a similar function, but he didn't know if it could achieve the same level as Future Technology, marking the path to the destination in the three-dimensional space.
"That's right." Xiao Yu smiled.
"Can I ask one more question? Are you customer service? "
"Xiao Yu is an AI." Her tail swayed in the air as Xiao Yu held her chin and smiled. "As long as you wear the AR glasses, you can see your own Xiao Yu."
After a moment of silence, Wei Wendong let out a sigh.
"Your boss is a genius … Virtual reality + real estate, and an AI that is more human-like than humans as a 'shopping guide'. It's hard not to make a fortune."
"Thank you for your compliment." Xiao Yu blinked and said playfully.
Wei Wendong strolled along several main roads and stopped at the entrance of a residential area. He sized up the apartment building.
At the door, he saw a holographic panel with a row of green labels.
"For sale?" He read the words on the holographic panel in his mind.
"Penglai City implements digital municipal management. Your local assets and properties are bound to your personal ID and can be managed through a special interface. For example, the holographic panel at the door of the apartment can be used for the sale and purchase of properties. The sale information will also be synchronized in other areas … "Xiao Yu patiently explained to him.
Just then, the green label turned orange, and the [For sale] label became [Bid: 10000].
"This is?"
"Because the property right now belongs to Future Group, the initial sale will be conducted through bidding. A level one apartment like this is only 80 square meters, and the starting price is only 10,000 USD, "Xiao Yu explained.
But because there were a lot of apartments, only people who only wanted to live on a specific floor would bid. Each bid must be at least 1,000 USD, and the deal would be locked in three days.
"Only 10,000 USD?" Wei Wendong murmured to himself.
"Each user is only allowed to purchase one apartment from level one to level two. Only level three and above is allowed to purchase multiple apartments, but there are certain restrictions," Xiao Yu reminded him.
From the map, there were 200,000 level one apartments for sale, mainly distributed in the outer ring area. Level two apartments were slightly more expensive and located closer to the center of the ring. In general, the closer it was to the center, the more expensive it was, but there were exceptions. For example, the ocean-view mansions on the outermost artificial beach were the highest level five apartments, and the price was comparable to the center area.
Wei Wendong then looked at the housing prices in the Giant Pagoda area and couldn't help but click his tongue.
The price of the room at the top of the tower was 1 billion USD, but it was a gray label, meaning it wasn't for sale.
There was also the bottom of the tower … That's right, there was an underwater section at the bottom of the tower. The entire island was like a spinning top. The room that was the deepest underwater was located at the tip of the "spinning top." The spiral-shaped room was completely surrounded by seawater, and the price was 10 billion USD.
It was still not for sale …
No matter how you look at it, it's just a random price! They didn't plan to sell it! Wei Wendong cursed in his mind.
"What if the construction of the city fails? I remember you're still working on the seabed. "
"Future Group will give a full refund." Xiao Yu smiled. "With Future Group's global assets as a guarantee for all investors in the world, we can definitely afford it."
With Future Group's financial capability, there was no need to worry about bankruptcy. Wei Wendong shook his head with a bitter smile. He was actually worried about such a stupid question.
"Will there really be people who will settle down here?" He looked at Xiao Yu and asked the most crucial question.
If a city only had houses and no people, it could only be called a ghost city.
"Judging from the houses being auctioned, there are already 110,000 people planning to settle down here. Based on Future Group's plan, the development focus of this ocean city is mainly on tourism and scientific research. After Penglai City is completed, it will move to the sea area between Coro Island and Ange Island. Because of the convenient transportation of airships and ships, the residents on the island can easily go to any island in Xin to work. "Xiao Yu added.
"Just like taking a bus."
"Venice on the Sea?" Wei Wendong murmured to himself and then looked around.
The environment here was very beautiful. To be honest, he was tempted. But when he thought about how even if he lived in Wanghai, he could come here anytime with this helmet, his longing for Penglai City decreased a bit …
But then, he suddenly noticed the countdown at the bottom right corner of his field of vision.
"This timer is?"
"Oh, this." Xiao Yu covered her mouth and made an expression as if she almost forgot something. "This is the amount of time the user can stay in this virtual reality."
"Amount of time? Wait … In other words — "
"That's right." Xiao Yu stopped right in front of him and looked at him with a smile. "The advertising time is only 30 minutes. Purchasing a house and applying for a vacation can be completed through the Phantom helmet. If you want to see Xiao Yu and the beautiful Penglai City, please look forward to its completion. "
Fu * k! He was playing the time-limited experience again!
But before Wei Wendong finished cursing, everything around him shattered like snowflakes.
In a short two seconds, he returned to the pure white cube.
Facing the empty virtual reality space, he was speechless for a long time.
