"A simulated robot!"
Feng Luo, who was wearing his Intermediate Special Agent glasses, saw through the background of this "Heavy Armor Gunner (Warrior)" blocking the way.
No wonder the three players felt that the other group of players was a little weird. They did not even try to avoid the zombies.
Clearly, among the ten people who had arrived before Feng Luo, a portion of them were these simulated robots!
This time, the scope and damage of the Evolution Virus were unprecedented.
In a situation where weapons of mass destruction had been destroyed, even "adventurers" had a hard time dealing with it.
Half a month ago, the Federal Government had finally decided to lift the ban on mecha management.
Zombies were indeed very difficult to deal with. However, the biggest reason was that they could spread the virus as long as they hurt living things.
Under such circumstances, mechas and artificial intelligence combat machines were undoubtedly existences that could restrain them.
Now, as long as any Level 50 player completed a mission and passed an assessment, they would be able to obtain the authority to operate some federally regulated mechas.
This order had undoubtedly caused Feng Luo to suffer a great loss.
This meant that the "Mecha AI Chip" he had obtained from the White City mission had lost its meaning to continue researching and imitating it.
Not only that, but other than combat players who could take the assessment, Life Profession players could also take the assessment.
As long as they passed the assessment and their skills reached the standard, the Federal Government would provide a series of mecha or parts related blueprints for them to learn how to build.
For example, the "Hunter Series" humanoid combat machine in front of Feng Luo was specifically designed to deal with zombies and infected creatures.
This also meant that the T-800 and T-850 series blueprints that Feng Luo had obtained from the female NPC, Ms. X, who was with Death Roar and the others at the Machinery Testing Ground had become as worthless as the Mecha AI Chip.
Adding the two together, Feng Luo had undoubtedly suffered a huge loss.
However, the losses were indeed losses, but the gains were even greater.
This was because although the System had directly opened up the "Humanoid Mecha Simulation" mission, it was not that easy to truly create a humanoid mecha simulation.
The Life Profession skill proficiency, technical difficulties, equipment, materials, manpower …
War's high degree of simulation required all kinds of prerequisites for manufacturing. This made it so that even large financial groups and super guilds with abundant funds could be directly thrown in.
It would take at least ten days to half a month of preparation before they could begin manufacturing the Hunter!
On the other hand, the "Terminator Research Base" in the Nightless City was already ready for the mass production of "Terminators".
Since Digital Cat was the first to advance to Master Level, the Life Profession players who were transferred and joined Nightless City already had the qualifications to create. Moreover, they had already set up a production line and stocked up on a large amount of materials.
The only problem that could be considered as a funding issue was solved after the announcement of the Federal Government's decision. Sister Rui persuaded the Rui Consortium to provide a huge loan.
After that, it was time to soar into the sky.
Over the past half a month, the market share of the mid-to-high-end humanoid mecha simulation in War had been occupied by the Nightless City's "Terminator Series."
This is an amazing market.
There were one billion combat players in the game. Even if only one-fifth of them were mid-to-high-end players, the number of potential customers was still astonishing.
In just half a month, the "Terminator Research Base" had already sold more than 20,000 "T-800 and T-850 Terminators" through the channels of the Huan Yu Company. The number of players who had pre-ordered them exceeded 200,000.
Currently, the funds that had been deposited into the research base's account had exceeded 100 billion credits.
Even though the subsequent manufacturing materials had increased due to the competition between the major forces, resulting in an increase in the cost, the profit was still more than 40% due to the high-end route.
A profit of close to 50 billion credits and an even larger income could be expected in the future.
The loss that Feng Luo had originally suffered due to the system's sudden release of mechas was not even worth mentioning.
However, in this incident, the one who made the most money was not Nightless City but World Bloc.
Yes, it was Death Roar, who had once occupied the position of "War's Number One Expert," belonged to the number one super guild in the capital city.
As soon as the Federal Government issued the decree, World Bloc had already launched their "Slaughterer" series of humanoid mecha simulation.
Moreover, it was different from Nightless City, which only focused on the mid-to-high-end route due to the limitations of the mecha model.
From the very beginning, World Bloc had gone all-out, regardless of whether it was the high-end 800 or 850 series, the mid-range T-700 series, or the low-end T-500 series.
Now, they had directly occupied more than half of the market!
According to the information on the forum, in just over half a month, World Bloc had earned more than a trillion in sales with the mechas, and the net profit was estimated to be more than 200 billion credits!
Feng Luo finally understood why the two super guilds, World Bloc and Moon Brilliance, had both sent their ace players to participate in the "Machinery Testing Ground" in the capital city.
After all, the business opportunities here were simply too shocking.
Feng Luo had originally thought that the 10 billion credits he had earned from selling the Boss Chip was already the limit of his income in this game.
It was not until this time that he truly understood the business opportunities in this "virtual game".
"But I'm still short on money!"
Feng Luo's mind was a little distracted.
Although the "Terminator Research Base" had made quite a lot of money, and his 75% stake had "skyrocketed" his net worth.
However, Feng Luo was still in a state of "short on money."
First of all, this income was actually "virtual." Currently, in order to compete for the follow-up market, he had to invest almost every single cent.
Second, the investment required to develop the Zerg base was much larger than he had imagined.
The resources and energy needed to upgrade the Zerg base from Level 40 to Level 50 were ten times that of Level 30 to Level 40, and from Level 50 to Level 60, it was another ten times that of Level 40 to Level 50 …
To completely develop the Zerg base would require an astronomical figure.
…
"A Slaughterer?"
Feng Luo looked at the "Heavy Armored Gunner" robot in front of him, aiming its gun at him and blocking his way without firing a shot.
The humanoid mecha blocking his way did not belong to the "Terminator" series produced by Nightless City. Instead, it belonged to the "Slaughterer T-800" produced by World Bloc!
The combat AI of this humanoid mecha was not low, but it did not have autonomous consciousness like NPCs.
This was somewhat different from the T-800 in Terminator, which had a human personality simulation program.
As for the reason, it was naturally because the Federal Government was afraid that these robots would develop "intelligence" like in the game's background.
Therefore, other than forcefully adding identification and hostile programs to zombies and infected creatures, it was impossible for them to actively intercept humans without orders.
