After the battle with the Ghost Supreme Commander, the players realized the difference between their own forces and the Ghost General Cha Na's.
Therefore, the players started a frenzy of leveling up.
At the same time, many berserkers started to walk out of the Mansion of the Dead due to their desire to become a Rune Master. They went to the outside world to look for materials to change their class.
To make it easier for the players to waste a lot of time on the road, Lu Wu used 5000 soul points to create two Teleportation Circles. He placed them at the entrance of the Ghost Mountains and outside the Mansion of the Dead.
At the same time, he made an announcement that all the players could build Teleportation Circles in the areas that they had explored 100% of the time.
This was undoubtedly good news for the players. After all, every time they resurrected, they would have to go to the Ghost Mountains to level up. They would have to spend a lot of time on the road.
Of course, the Teleportation Circles that Lu Wu built were not free. They would have to pay one soul coin as a teleportation fee.
What Lu Wu did not expect was that he would earn back half of the cost on the first day after the Teleportation Circles were built.
While the players were busy leveling up, a new column was launched on the official website of Battle Online.
It was the live streaming function that many players had been waiting for.
This allowed the players who died in the game and entered the cooldown period to watch the live streaming.
At the same time, in order to obtain more soul coins from the players, Lu Wu imitated other live streaming platforms and set up a reward function.
This reward function did not use cash, but soul coins in the game.
Lu Wu set up a total of six types of gifts.
They were:
Heart (0.1 soul coin), Cake (1 soul coin), Ring (5 soul coins), Flying Saucer (20 soul coins), Yacht (100 soul coins), Lucky Crystal (1000 soul coins)
Of course, the money from the rewards did not go to the streamers' pockets. Lu Wu would take 50% of the service fee from the rewards.
In other words, these streamers were actually working for Lu Wu in disguise.
However, on the first day this function was launched, there were more than 1000 streamer registration applications.
After the review was completed, all kinds of streamers went online one after another. There were also many live streaming columns on the webpage.
Some of the weird streamers even quickly attracted a wave of fans.
For example:
(A cute girl who has no money to spend, so she livestreams to earn soul coins to support herself). Number of viewers: 390
(A solo leveling strategy in the Ghost Mountains. Teaches you how to make all kinds of traps and challenge wild monsters). Number of viewers: 1200
(How to build your own house in the game, and how to use outdoor materials to build a house), 876 viewers.
(Lord De is trying to survive in the wild. In the process of reclaiming a new area, he swears not to go home until he finds all the materials for a Rune Master.)
(Live broadcast of taming zombie wolves in Liuli District, 8th attempt), current number of viewers: 3294
(Teaching Berserker Close Combat Techniques, from a Special Forces Soldier in real life), Current Viewer: 2,341
(The Mage's Spring Has Arrived. PK in the wild. I've already killed 5 Berserkers today. How satisfying!) [Number of viewers: 976]
(Assassin's Creed, the wandering Grim Reaper in Liuli District is looking for lone ghost soldiers …), Number of viewers: 2111
…
The appearance of a large number of streamers had enriched the gameplay of Battle Online.
…
In the underground R&D room of the Black Sea Technology Company in the capital of Chidragon.
The lights of the virtual gaming pods were flashing as they carried out the final test.
The senior staff of Black Sea Technology were watching the experiment nervously because they knew that if the test was successful, they would have the first opportunity to seize the market share.
In the research and development of virtual gaming pods, time was the most precious thing. If they were slower than others, they would be limited in every aspect.
"Beep ~!"
As the green indicator lights lit up on all the virtual gaming pods, the senior staff of Black Sea Technology were all excited.
"Congratulations, the research and development is successful. This batch of virtual gaming pods, together with the nutrient solution, has successfully allowed players to stay in it for 24 hours without being affected in any way!"
The white-haired old man in the research and development team said joyfully.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the research and development room. Everyone began to applaud.
After confirming that everything was correct, the senior staff who were immersed in joy called for an emergency meeting.
"Since we're going to enter the market, it's important to quickly occupy the entire market. What do you all think?"
The CEO's words caused the people below to fall into silence. Then, they began to express their own opinions.
However, most of them were selling at reduced prices, opening up the market, and looking for agents.
At this time, a young-looking man sitting at the end of the row stood up. "Since our product's main purpose is to serve the game, why don't we cooperate with game merchants and use their reputation to open up the market? It's the best!"
Hearing this, everyone in the room nodded subconsciously.
"In order to quickly occupy the market, we'll implement the plans you mentioned at the same time. At the same time, Xiao Li, you'll be in charge of coordinating with the game manufacturers. Don't let me down!"
Just as the board of directors made their decision, the secretary ran into the room in a panic.
"President Chen, the Jie De Corporation from Country A just announced at the press conference that they've developed virtual gaming pods!"
Hearing this news, everyone in the room was shocked.
Then, the secretary picked up the tablet and connected it to the projection in the conference room. Soon, the scene of the press conference appeared.
"After many years of research, the virtual world will usher in a new era from today onwards. This is because the virtual gaming pods that everyone has been waiting for have been developed successfully. After countless data tests, I can guarantee that the gaming pods are stable …"
Seeing this news, everyone in the room felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over them. The joy from before vanished without a trace.
There was no greater joy or sorrow than this.
After a moment of silence, the president of the Black Sea Corporation immediately announced that a press conference would be held. At the same time, all the planned marketing plans would be carried out quickly.
They had to take over the domestic market in the shortest time possible. They could not let the Jie De Corporation from Country A take the lead. At the same time, they had to think of ways to open up new markets overseas.
The entire company was suddenly in a state of panic.
…
While the Jie De Corporation was releasing the press conference, Lu Wu and Bei Li were sitting on the bed, eating snacks and watching TV.
"Hmm? Virtual gaming pods? A 24-hour experience? "
Seeing this news, Lu Wu's body trembled.
One had to know that the biggest limitation to the players was their strength.
For the players' safety, he had set a 12-hour gaming time limit. However, seeing this advertisement, Lu Wu felt that it was an opportunity for the Underworld players to develop faster.
At this moment, Lu Wu's phone suddenly rang.
Picking up the phone, Wu Guoyi's voice came from the phone, "Brother Lu, quick, look at the news. The Jie De Corporation has released virtual gaming pods! A 24-hour experience! "
"I just happened to see it. Brother Wu, why are you so excited?"
Wu Guoyi took a deep breath, "Just now, the operations department of the Jie De Corporation contacted me, hoping that I can promote and collaborate with them. I immediately thought of your game."
"This is a win-win situation. Your game can enter the overseas market through the Jie De Corporation, and the Jie De Corporation can also enter the domestic market through our game. Their representative will come to the headquarters of 173 tomorrow to discuss with me. I have invited 30 major game manufacturers, including you. You must come on time tomorrow morning!"
