On the fifth floor, there were only two tech points.
The AI tech tree skipped this floor and extended all the way down. Only Virtual Reality and Hardware Technology had tech points on the fifth floor.
Virtual Reality Deep Sleep Mode: Allows the player to play in sleep mode. The time ratio in sleep mode is 1: 2. It is recommended to play for five hours in sleep mode, no more than seven hours, otherwise the game will be forcefully disconnected. Sleep quality will not be affected if the time spent in sleep mode does not exceed two thirds of the time spent in sleep mode.
Requirement: Twenty million VR devices with neural connection technology.
Hardware Technology: Sleep-wake system: Adds a wake up module to the virtual reality device, allowing the player to wake up at a specific time or under specific conditions. At the same time, the system has a decent sleeping aid.
Requirement: Five hundred lottery tickets.
Here it comes!
Obviously, Chen Mo understood the importance of the Deep Sleep Mode tech.
Simply put, this tech was the only way to solve the problem of playing for a long time.
For gamers, who was the biggest enemy of playing games?
Professor Yang?
His girlfriend?
His money?
Obviously, the biggest enemy was time.
Regardless of whether it was the poor or the rich, time was a very precious thing.
Your time is very valuable … Ahem, sorry, I'm at the wrong place.
The rich were busy making more money, the poor were busy working hard to feed their families.
Modern society was a fast-paced society. Just like the workers in the big cities, they were always in a hurry, even their footsteps felt like they were being blown by the wind.
Only a small number of university students, unemployed people, and local tycoons who had truly achieved financial freedom were idlers or people with a lot of time on their hands.
This was why mobile games were so popular and fragmented games were the trend in the video game industry.
Because people really didn't have time to play games anymore.
Many workers were working at 996, and it was almost ten o 'clock when they got home. Even if they went to bed at one o' clock, they would have at most two hours of gaming time.
What could they do in two hours? They could only kill one boss at most in a group dungeon. Therefore, more and more players chose to play a few rounds of League of Legends, eat chicken dinners, or watch a short TV series, read a novel, or order their 2D wife …
Moreover, if they were to start a family, the amount of time they had would shrink even more.
The number of games that required time was declining rapidly, and the number of active players was dropping.
In this new sleep mode, the time ratio was 1: 2.
。 If it was calculated according to eight hours of sleep, then as long as players ensured that they slept for two-thirds of the eight hours, which was within five hours, the quality of their sleep would not be affected.
If it was more than five hours, he might feel a little sleepy the next day, which would affect his sleep quality. Players could extend this time to 7 hours in real life, which was equivalent to 14 hours in the game. Any longer than that and the game would be forced to disconnect for the sake of the player's health.
In other words, according to the 1: 2 ratio, everyone had an extra 10 hours in the virtual world.
Of course, according to the normal technology tree, the first beneficiary of this technology would definitely not be the gaming industry.
Many people would use these 10 hours to study, socialize, cultivate their hobbies, or even work in the virtual world.
After all, time was too precious. An extra 10 hours a day meant a lot to everyone.
Strictly speaking, this technology could even be bad news for the poor. The rich could use this time to earn more money, or continue to study and improve themselves, while the poor didn't have these resources. They could only use this time for entertainment, and the gap between the rich and the poor would only widen.
The authors would probably be able to easily write eight chapters a day if they had an extra 10 hours, right?
Fortunately, with the technology tree obscuring technology, the technology wouldn't go astray and affect other areas outside of the game.
Otherwise, the world would really be in chaos.
Since that was the case, Chen Mo didn't need to worry. This technology point was equivalent to giving all the gamers in the world ten hours of gaming time a day.
This time could only be used to play games. You couldn't do anything else, because of the technology tree obscuring technology, and because the virtual world Chen Mo created didn't provide anything other than entertainment.
The real world was already tiring enough. In the game, forget about those responsibilities, and play to your heart's content.
Although this technology point was good, Chen Mo needed to sell 20 million gaming pods to activate it.
And the sleep-wake system was obviously created to support this new sleeping mode.
This system could help the players fall asleep faster and enter the game world. At the same time, it could provide a more gentle wake-up service.
Players could wake themselves up according to the time or specific conditions. For example, they could wake themselves up after the game went offline, and then go back to sleep.
Chen Mo fell into deep thought as he looked at the new technology point.
To activate this key technology point, he needed to sell 20 million gaming pods. Before Iron Man, the number of gaming pods had only reached 10 million.
This wasn't an easy goal to achieve. After all, the real tycoons had already bought them.
Moreover, it was best if the new game could make good use of the technology point. If it was a fragmented time game, or a standalone game, it wouldn't make much sense.
It wasn't easy to give the players a few more hours of gaming time. If everyone were to play their own games, it would be too boring.
As for the sales, after the price of the gaming pods was lowered, there would definitely be a significant increase in sales, but it was still a bit slow for Chen Mo.
He still needed to give the players around the world a shot of adrenaline, so that they would continue to buy, buy, buy, and get the number of gaming pods to 20 million worldwide.
"If that's the case … I'll have to make a CG to scam money out of them." Chen Mo smiled.
There were many players who were willing to spend a lot of money on gaming equipment. After all, the hardware was only a platform. How much fun it could bring to the players depended on the content on the platform.
The price reduction of the gaming pods, the new technology, and the bonus of a super IP. All these factors combined would definitely push the sales of the gaming pods to another level.
Chen Mo had already thought about it. He released the promotional CG and shamelessly announced:
"As long as the sales of the gaming pods exceed 20 million worldwide, I'll release this game."
