Moreover, Chen Mo was smart enough to bypass these food and beverage brands.
Take a fast food brand for example. If you ask me to stop selling your brand of food in the Matrix Shopping Centre, I can immediately cancel it.
But I can change my skin and continue selling it.
I can give the fast food restaurant a new name. You sell hamburgers, I sell hamburgers, but my hamburgers won't be the same as yours. You sell fried chicken, drinks, and desserts, and I sell them too, but they'll all be different from yours. There are hundreds of millions of people in the world who know how to fry chicken wings. What can you do to me if I sell them?
Not only will I sell them, but I can also adjust the taste to make everyone think that my chicken wings taste better than yours. Are you mad?
As for the Fat Otaku Cola, I don't call it cola anymore, I call it Fat Otaku Cola. The packaging has also been changed. As for the formula, I can claim that our production methods are completely different. Your cola has its own formula and is completely fine, but my cola is made with artificial intelligence and neural connection technology. How can you prove that my cola is related to yours?
There were at least a dozen domestic cola brands in China. Although they didn't taste good and didn't take over the market, Chen Mo could still make use of them.
Chen Mo could say, "My Otaku Cola is based on the taste of cola, then directly adjusted the taste of the players to create a virtual cola. It has nothing to do with Coca-Cola or Pepsi."
Otaku Cola did have a lot of patents, such as the shape of the bottle, the logo, etc., but its core competitiveness was in the intangible concept of "taste".
But the key was that everyone was very interested in the "taste". There were even times when the recipe was changed.
Whether it was marketing or psychological effect, many people thought that they could taste the authentic Otaku Cola, and would strongly defend the taste.
However, in the face of the brain and neural connection technology, the mysterious veil of "taste" was instantly removed.
No matter how complicated the taste was, it could still be collected and analyzed. Chen Mo didn't know the exact recipe of the cola, but he could obtain the feeling of drinking the cola and encode it into a code. When the players drank the dark, bubbly liquid, he would be able to transmit the feeling into the players' brains.
It was almost impossible to defend against this kind of high-tech attack …
Therefore, Chen Mo wasn't worried. So what if there were some special foods that couldn't be sold in the Matrix Shopping Centre? Most of the food and drinks in the real world could be sold, and that was enough.
The appearance of the Matrix Shopping Centre broke many of the industry's norms, and it became a battle of interests. But Chen Mo wasn't worried, because no matter how he looked at it, he was still the one who had it.
With the appearance of the Matrix Shopping Centre, it went without saying that the Gaming Pods were to sell like hotcakes.
It wasn't that the rich had nothing better to do than spend three hundred thousand to eat fried chicken and drink Otaku Cola in the virtual world. The reason they bought the Gaming Pods was because they wanted to experience something they had never experienced before, and get used to life as a brain in a vat.
For some food lovers, the Matrix Shopping Centre became a holy land, with delicacies from all over the world, and they wouldn't get fat no matter how much they ate. How amazing was that?
As for the nameless store, it had become a hot topic for everyone. All of the food inside was carefully prepared by the staff of Thunderbolt Entertainment. They could even guarantee that even a salted duck egg would taste better than most food in the real world. This kind of behavior that directly tampered with the players' feelings at the highest level was even more sought after by many food lovers.
…
Before the Matrix Shopping Centre's popularity died down, another piece of news caused a heated discussion among the players.
A famous video game company in America, the developer of Earth Online, Global Technology had hoped to collaborate with Thunderbolt Entertainment to develop the next generation VR version of Earth Online, but for some unknown reason, the collaboration didn't happen.
This was a rumour, and the authenticity of it couldn't be verified, but it still caused a lot of discussion among the players.
Many players doubted the authenticity of the rumour, but it didn't stop them from discussing it. Many players expressed their heartfelt regret because "Earth Online" was indeed a very good game. It also had a large number of players in the country.
To many players, the failure of the collaboration was a lose-lose situation, as everyone felt that the combination of Earth Online and the Matrix VR Pod would have a great chemistry.
"Why didn't Chen Mo agree to collaborate with Earth Online? What a shame, I think it's a great opportunity to promote the Matrix VR Pod! "
"I'm not sure, maybe it's because of some dirty underhanded deal?"
"Indeed, if Earth Online was made into a next generation VR version, I'm excited just thinking about it!"
"This must be fake news, right? Let's all pray that it's fake news. Maybe we'll see news of Chen Mo collaborating with Global Technology in a few months, don't be so pessimistic! "
"Although I'm not sure if this rumour is accurate, I feel that the people above me don't understand Salent at all. When have you ever seen him use another game to promote a new product? There's only one reason why he would collaborate with other video game companies, and that is to recruit independent video game designers to enrich the games on Thunderbolt Gaming Platform. These video game designers are all his subordinates. When have you ever seen him collaborate with other video game companies? "
"I think so too … even if Chen Mo wanted to come up with a big move after Detroit: Man Change Change, he'd have to do it himself. Chen Mo definitely didn't want a giant like Earth Online to be involved in this. I think this rumour might be true. We all know how picky Chen Mo is when it comes to games. "
"So … it's very likely that we won't be able to play 'Earth Online' in the gaming cabin anymore, right? It's such a sad thing … "
