Reborn in 2011, 985 missing from two copies

Chapter 735 Musk: You're going to send me away?

The Switch has sold over 10 million units worldwide in just three weeks since its launch!

And Star Trek: Breath of the Wild has sold over 700 million copies!
And 70% of them bought the collector's edition at 459!

After all, the collector's edition not only includes the game cartridge, but also a physical album of 25 songs composed by the three giants and masters, a starry sky commemorative coin, a star map and other merchandise, as well as a lucky draw!
It's worth noting that this lucky draw guarantees a 100% chance of winning.

Lucky winners could receive tickets to the Big Three concert or an invitation to the Starry Sky Technology press conference...

Even those who aren't lucky enough can still win a consolation prize like a guaranteed monthly membership to Xingyi Video or a weekly membership to Xingyi Music...

We will never let our users leave empty-handed!

This greatly spurred consumer enthusiasm.

Of course, most importantly, the collector's edition cassette has a high-end outer packaging.

Buy it, post pictures on WeChat Moments, and you'll be the coolest kid around!
When life gets tough, you have to find some fun.

And Switch + Star Trek: Breath of the Wild is the best fun!

After all, the Switch's performance is truly powerful, with a Kunpeng 920 Pro processor and 4GB of RAM, far surpassing all current mobile phones and tablets!
And Star Legends: Breath of the Wild is really fun!
As an upgraded version of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild", the former created a glorious era, becoming a global phenomenon for more than a decade and ushering in a new era.

The latter has been upgraded again, taking the essence and discarding the dross, and with the full-resource promotion of Xingyi Technology, it will only become more brilliant!
But even more glorious than Star Legend: Breath of the Wild is Honor of Kings!
Paid games can never beat free ones!

Honor of Kings doesn't require high-end hardware; even budget phones can run it smoothly. Plus, it's free—just download and play.

It's also incredibly fun, and with Xingyi Technology fully promoting it, Douyin (TikTok) live streamers, easy chat with friends, and one-click invitations to play together!
As expected, it became an instant hit across the internet as soon as it was released.

On the day of its release, the number of online users exceeded 500,000!
The number of online users exceeded 10 million in the first week!

Now, three weeks later, the number of online players of "Honor of Kings" has exceeded 2000 million!
Top the list of the most popular mobile games right now!
Not only did it top the XOS game download charts, but it also took the number one spot on the iOS game charts and the Android market charts!

There's no way around it, this game is just too popular!

There's practically no need for advertising; users will want to play it as soon as they see it.

The currently popular League of Legends and the previously popular Dota have already accumulated hundreds of millions of veteran players!

But as we get older, some are working, some are pursuing further studies, and some are taking care of their families...

Many veterans are now stuck, unable to spend as much time as before sitting in front of the computer and playing games with their friends. They have had to fade out or even leave the scene.

Many people, even if they want to play, have computers they bought in their freshman or sophomore years that are already outdated and can't run the game smoothly.

With a family to support and children to raise, I can't bear to spend several thousand dollars on a new computer just to play games.

The adult world is not easy for anyone.

But now that "Honor of Kings" has been launched, hundreds of millions of veterans are excited!

No need for a computer, no need to sit at home!
All you need is a mobile phone, whether it's a flagship model from two or three years ago or a budget-friendly model.

Whether you're at home, at work, or in a shopping mall, you can play as long as you have WiFi or mobile data!
You don't need a lot of time; ten or fifteen minutes of spare time is enough to start a game!

Even if it only lasts seven or eight minutes, you can still have a chaotic battle!

That's completely different.

The demanding requirements of League of Legends are not needed in Honor of Kings!
The entry barrier is frighteningly low.

Who doesn't have a smartphone these days?
Anyone without WiFi or a data plan? Data SIM card?

Three to five hours might not be enough, but who doesn't need ten or twenty minutes?

As for playing for more than twenty minutes, that's quite difficult.

After all, either their side is bad, or they've already scored in ten minutes.

Either the other party is bad at the game, or they've already rejected the offer after ten or fifteen minutes.

It's actually quite difficult if both sides are equally skilled and evenly matched, and a game lasts for more than 20 minutes without a clear winner.

And that's how Honor of Kings became a hit!
Driven by Xingyi Technology, "Honor of Kings" has become a global phenomenon, allowing users to chat with friends and play games with a single click!
It quickly became a game with 20 million daily active users!

It has also become a game for many people to connect with each other and pass the time.

Roommates playing games together, old classmates you haven't contacted in years, old friends playing games together, couples playing games together...

Even many young people looking for partners form groups to play King of Glory together to expand their social circle!
When a game becomes a game for everyone, it becomes truly unstoppable!

Three weeks of daily active users exceeded 20 million, and one month of daily active users exceeded 25 million!

The popularity of "Honor of Kings" has skyrocketed.

Fortunately, Xingyi Technology has its own large-scale data center with ample servers.

Otherwise, with such a terrifying growth rate, the servers would all crash!

Meanwhile, the revenue from "Honor of Kings" has also skyrocketed.

Although Honor of Kings is free to play, skins are paid, and some heroes also require real money to purchase!
Wang Yi was well aware of Tencent's operations in his previous life and had also been a victim of them.

Now that everything has been replicated, we've made our money back!

The main idea is that it's fun for ordinary people and can be enjoyed by wealthy people!

Many girls, in particular, will buy whatever they see when they see beautiful skin.

It's out of control, completely out of control.

An epic skin costs 88, and a legendary skin costs 168!

But it's just so beautiful, with enhanced special effects and voice acting, that girls simply can't resist it.

Plus, a skin only costs a few dozen or a hundred yuan, which doesn't seem too expensive, so I might as well buy it.

But this thing isn't expensive when you buy one, but it gets expensive when you buy a lot!

Seeing other users buying, and not buying any myself, makes me lose face.

After all, it's normal to spend a little money on games you play every day.

But as I kept spending money, I ended up spending a lot!
Moreover, Xingyi Technology's heroes are not exactly the same as those in the previous "Honor of Kings" game, and it has also added its own IP!

For example, the sword saint Gai Nie from Qin's Moon and Lan Zhan from The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation have attracted a large number of fans to purchase them.

The following IPs, such as Bad Guys and Xia Lan, will also be launched successively.

These IPs all come with their own traffic and fans, so they don't lack sales!
Once the Great Marshal is taken offline, and the Bad Marshal hero is released, won't the fans who are still heartbroken buy it like crazy?

That goes without saying!
For example, the current popularity of Qin's Moon and The Heroes of the Demonic Path has led to their rise in popularity.

The fans of both sides even started a war to see whose sales were higher!

Wang Yi ignored this, since he would be the one making the money in the end anyway.

Within a month of its launch, Honor of Kings generated over 13.7 billion RMB in global revenue, primarily from hero and skin sales!
Seeing this, Tencent was filled with envy.

However, Tencent's "Honor of Kings" is still under development.

To be precise, it's not "Honor of Kings" but "Heroic Showdown," and its core gameplay is currently the 3V3 battle mode.

The first closed beta test is expected to begin in August.

After the closed beta test of the previous game "Heroic War" ended, the second closed beta test "King's League" was launched later.

It wasn't until the end of October that it was renamed "Honor of Kings" again and launched its open beta test. Later, it gradually added gameplay modes such as 5V5 and Abyss Brawl.

Unfortunately, Xingyi Technology was more than six months ahead of schedule.

They launched the official version of "Honor of Kings" directly, opening up gameplay modes such as 5V5 and Abyss Brawl!
In fact, Honor of Kings started its internal testing as early as six months ago.

However, those who participated in the testing were all internal R&D personnel and employees.

The game was bug-fixed and very well-made. After passing the review, it was officially launched, catching Tencent off guard!
With over 2500 million daily active users, Honor of Kings is now in a completely disadvantageous position compared to Tencent's 3V3 mode, which is still not fully developed.

By the time Tencent finishes the 3V3 closed beta and then launches the 5V5 open beta, it will be four or five months later. By then, the daily active users of "Honor of Kings" will probably be as high as 50 million!

Once Tencent officially launches it, Xingyi Technology's "Honor of Kings" will likely have over 100 million daily active users by now.

In the gaming world, falling behind by just two months means falling far behind.

Besides, Tencent is more than six months behind!
That would be a complete disaster. After all, while Tencent has QQ for promotion, Xingyi Technology also has Changliao and Douyin to support it!
And it's also supported by hundreds of millions of Xingyi mobile phones!
The game "Honor of Kings" is very large, so directly embedding the "Honor of Kings" app won't work, but embedding a game icon is still fine.

This built-in feature is the best form of promotion, attracting a large number of users to click and download it!

The number of installations and users of "Honor of Kings" will increase significantly.

These are resources that Tencent doesn't have!

Even if users aren't interested, they can simply delete it with one click.

But when I hear other people talking about it or see others playing it, I can't help but download it again.

Honor of Kings is highly contagious and spreads from person to person!
In a circle, if a few people play it, others will follow suit.

May was a month of harvest.

Not only did the Switch achieve monthly sales of over 10 million units in its first month, setting a record!
The Starry Sky X2 series, with two models, achieved a record-breaking global sales volume of over 4000 million units in its first month!
The sales volume of both products is too high to be displayed.

Wang Yi was afraid that his competitors would have a mental breakdown!
The Kunpeng 920 chipset has also sold nearly 2 million units!

Abundant harvest, a great success in all aspects!

And in June, sales will continue to surge!
No other reason than that 618 is coming soon!

The big sale is about to begin!
Sales will only get more terrifying!
While the new flagship models won't see a price reduction, older flagship models are experiencing a major price drop during the promotion.

Models powered by the Kunpeng 910, with the support of the XOS system, are not much worse than Samsung's new flagship S6.

Unfortunately, although Android 5.0 is a 64-bit system, there are too few 64-bit Android applications to fully utilize the advantages of 64-bit.

While the Orion 7420 is more powerful than the Kunpeng 910, it pales in comparison to the 60% boost offered by the XOS system.

In addition, the Xphone 4 has been on the market for nine months, and its price has dropped somewhat, making it cheaper than the Samsung S6.

With its superior performance and better system, many users are choosing to forgo the Samsung S6 and opt for the Xphone 4 during the 618 shopping festival!

More importantly, with 618 approaching, Xingyi Technology will, as is customary, release a series of new products during 618.

Especially the cost-effective products in the Boundless series, all of which were released during the 618 shopping festival!

Many users are holding onto their coins and waiting to make a purchase!
Of course, many users are looking forward to Xingyi Technology's 618 launch event, wondering if Xingyi cars will be on the agenda!
Since the flagship launch event on May 1st, when Xingyi Auto made its stunning debut, it has been eagerly anticipated by many fans!
Putting everything else aside, the sci-fi-level intelligent driving alone is truly impressive.

This has been widely praised not only by domestic users but also by international users!

Such smooth autonomous driving, intelligent U-turns, intelligent steering, intelligent lane changes... In 2025, it might not be considered particularly outstanding, only at the L2 level of intelligent driving.

It is far inferior to Huawei's intelligent driving system, Tesla's intelligent driving system, and even Xiaomi's intelligent driving system.

But back in 2015, that would have been absolutely ridiculous.

This has led many users to compare Xingyi's intelligent driving system with Tesla's, causing a huge uproar.
"Musk always boasts about how amazing and intelligent Tesla cars are, and how awesome their intelligent driving system is. Now that you see the intelligent driving system of the Xingyi car, what can Musk say?"

"What can I say? The gap is too wide; I'm speechless!"

"Is it really that bad? Tesla has been making cars for so many years, it should be very powerful with a lot of technological reserves. The Xingyi car hasn't even been released yet, this is only the first generation, how good can it be?"

"Exactly, Tesla is still very impressive. We should trust Musk and trust international brands. As for Xingyi Auto, it's just a PPT product that hasn't even been launched yet. It's very immature and not worth mentioning."

"What kind of PPT product is this? Can your PPT open? Can it drive itself? Your company's immature product, would your chairman dare to sit inside it, hands-free, letting the car drive itself?"

"Actually, Tesla's Autopilot is pretty stupid. The HW1 hardware currently used in the Model S/X, and the X6.0 version released last year, only supports basic ACC adaptive cruise control, which simply adjusts the speed based on the car in front, nothing more! Look at the Xingyi car, it adjusts its speed, changes lanes, and makes U-turns on its own. Can Tesla do that?"

"Don't talk nonsense. This is based on firsthand experience from a Tesla Model S user. The v6.1 update was just released in March, adding new features, including Lane Keeping Assist (LKA). It can recognize the road through the steering wheel and make slight adjustments to keep the vehicle intelligently centered in the lane! This is amazing; I use it frequently, and it's incredibly useful!!"

"Impressive my foot! Are you some kind of die-hard Tesla user? You've even personally experienced it?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Tesla's lane keeping assist is very immature. It can intelligently keep the car centered in a standard lane, but it fails once the curve radius exceeds 250 meters. The Tesla will then sway from side to side in the lane like a ping-pong ball, triggering the 'ping-pong effect'!"

"If you're a genuine user and frequently use Tesla's lane keeping assist, at best you'll get car damage and injuries requiring hospitalization, and at worst you'll be in a crash and die!"

"Oh, is it that serious?"

"Nonsense, people on the internet are protesting that Tesla's LKA is completely unusable. Look at Xingyi Auto's intelligent driving system, it can do everything from lane keeping to automatic lane changing and automatic U-turns, all without any contact. Tesla can't compare at all. The two are not even in the same league."

"Hmph! No matter how advanced Xingyi Auto's intelligent driving technology is, it's still an unreleased product and nothing special. Don't forget, Tesla also has a lot of intelligent driving technologies in reserve, they just haven't launched them yet."

"That's right, Tesla not announcing it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it just means it hasn't been released yet. It doesn't mean it's impossible."

"Xingyi Auto may not be much better than Tesla, and may even be worse than Tesla."

"Which is more powerful, Xingyi Auto's intelligent driving or Tesla's intelligent driving? That's easy to say. Chairman Wang dared to have Xingyi Auto's intelligent driving pick him up at the press conference, and then drive out of the venue in Xingyi Auto with a completely contactless intelligent driving system. I ask you, would Musk dare to do that?"

"Yes, as long as Musk is also at the press conference, has Tesla pick him up, and leaves in a Tesla with his hands off the steering wheel the whole time, and experiences contactless autonomous driving, we will believe that Tesla's autonomous driving is also very powerful."

"Mr. Musk, don't back down, show us right now! We can't lose to Xingyi Motors!"

"Chairman Ma, I'm a die-hard Tesla fan. I believe you're a real man and a tough guy. You absolutely can't back down. Immediately activate SmartDrive and slap Xingyi Technology in the face! Slap them until they're swollen!"

"That's right, what Xingyi Auto can do, Tesla Auto can do too. If Chairman Wang dares to do it without contact, Mr. Musk certainly can too. Quickly arrange a live broadcast of intelligent driving!"

"If Musk dares to livestream himself riding in a Tesla's contactless driving system, I'll immediately order a Model S!"

"Mr. Musk, go live! Show off your skills!"

Those who watch the fun don't mind the trouble.

These netizens and fans not only spoke so frankly online, but also left messages on Tesla and Musk's Twitter and Weibo platforms, demanding that Musk livestream his experience of riding in a Tesla's zero-contact driving system!

Originally, only domestic fans did this, but gradually overseas fans also started doing it.

Many people also called Tesla headquarters directly to demand answers.

As expected, the situation escalated further.

Many media outlets were alarmed and published news reports on the incident, even pressing Musk online to see if he dared to do it!

Some media outlets and netizens even went to Tesla's headquarters to confront Musk directly!
In this situation, Musk was furious:
"Fake!"

"Fake!"

"Let me ride in a Tesla like Wang Yi, experiencing a completely contactless and intelligent driving experience, and even livestream it!"

"They're not asking me to drive smartly, they're sending me away!"

Musk got angrier and angrier, and his head was spinning with anger!

Others may not know the level of Tesla's autonomous driving capabilities, but Musk knows it perfectly well.

I've tested it for many years and made many attempts, but it just doesn't work.

Let alone intelligent U-turns and intelligent lane changes, even lane keeping is not done well at present, so how can it be intelligent driving?

Tesla's Autopilot is still in its early stages.

Lane keeping is acceptable, but it must be a standard lane. If it's too wide, it won't be recognized, and it will sway left and right, easily sending people astray.

Intelligent lane changing can be attempted, but only on standard highways with no vehicles behind. Otherwise, Tesla's intelligent lane changing is sluggish and inaccurate in judging vehicles behind, making rear-end collisions common and potentially fatal.

There is also the AEB function, which is only effective at speeds below 50 km/h, but the frequency of accidental touches is very high, especially in rainy or backlit conditions. Frequent accidental touches can send a person to their death in no time!

This is why AEB did not send a notification for intelligent lane changing.

That's so immature!
But those users and netizens actually asked themselves to use intelligent driving, and to take their hands off the steering wheel like Wang Yi, without any contact at all!
Isn't this just asking for your own death?

"Fake!"

"Fake!"

Musk became even angrier after reading the comments online:
"This group of people is murderers!"

"Blatant murder!"

"And that Wang Yi, he really deserves to die!"

"If you're making Xingyi cars, just focus on building them properly. Why bother with intelligent driving systems?"

"They've made it so impressive, how are we Tesla supposed to catch up?"
