The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 246 Xu Meng's "magic"! (asking for monthly tickets)

"It's really a hunt! It's a giant beast! Yay!"

"I knew that making a wish to a dream would work!"

"Is this a dinosaur? Why does it feel like it and yet not like it?!"

"More supernatural monsters are needed! Breathing fire is too common!"

"The speed of Dream Building is as reassuring as ever! What's the release date?"

"There shouldn't be just the big sword, right?"

“I saw a big sword coming down from the sky several times. Will there be a lot of vertical action in the new game?”

"Vertical motion doesn't really fit in with the Vision game kit, does it?"

……

In the central square and various live broadcast rooms of all sizes, the players became more and more excited as they watched!
Since the launch of [Age of Madness], players have been making wishes, hoping to add more behemoths to their dreams and enrich the hunting experience.

But before that, Zhumeng had not given any response.

This is a relatively rare situation.

——Before, as long as the players’ voices were loud enough, Dream Building would give some feedback regardless of whether it would fulfill everyone’s wishes or not.

Except not this time.

In this regard, players have two guesses:
Either that or DreamCraft has become too proud and no longer cares about the players after becoming rich.

Or, it could be that Zhumeng is holding back on something big!

Now it seems that the second guess has come true!

Dream building is indeed a big deal!
In everyone's expectant eyes, the four big words "Monster Hunter" disappeared and the game's launch time became -

【2026】

This launch time has left players with a lot of questions:

“Does this count as announcing the launch time?”

“Lord of War will be released in 3 months, so Monster Hunter will of course be released in 2026!”

"Give me an accurate time!"

"I see, it's January 2026, 1, right?!"

"It's not very realistic. There doesn't seem to be much actual gameplay content in the trailer. I'm afraid we've just started working on it."

……

According to the previous situation in the gaming industry, when a new game released its first trailer, it was just the beginning of its promotion.

It often takes one to several years to wait before the game is officially released.

——The bigger the work, the longer the waiting time will be.

The "Lord of War" just released by Kezhumeng completely breaks this rule!
Don't even think about waiting for several years...

A year is too long!
I can't wait at all!
Unfortunately, the big screen did not respond to their questions and just went dark.

Then, without waiting for anyone to discuss, the screen lit up again.

Xu Meng, who had disappeared for several hours, appeared in front of everyone again.

"Good evening, everyone!" He stood on the deck and greeted all the spectators.

In the central square, the quick-reacting players immediately turned their attention to the airship that had been hovering in the air, and saw that the airship had slowly lowered its altitude.

Xu Meng's figure appeared on the deck again.

"Are you satisfied with the trailer for the new game?"

"If you haven't seen enough, you can search on platforms like Weiguang, Pilipli, and Bitbite. The official account of "Monster Hunter" has been registered and the trailer has been released on the entire network."

“Any new game-related content will be released on these accounts.”

"so--"

"Go and pay attention, go and pay attention!"

"The total number of followers on the entire network has reached 1000 million, and a special gameplay preview has been released!"

Even though he was still dozens of meters above the ground, Xu Meng could clearly feel the uproar among the players in the central square.

Obviously, they were severely criticizing his trend-setting behavior.

In response, Xu Meng not only didn't care, but also laughed and said: "After you're done complaining, remember to pay attention!"

"Then next is the last piece of information—"

“New hardware for building dreams!”

"I had prepared a video, and thought that if I slept too deeply, I would ask someone to help post it."

"But since everyone is so supportive and I'm awake, why don't we try a more intuitive method!"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and made a gesture as if he was going to snap his fingers.

"Now, everyone look at me, I'm going to show you a magic trick."

"Be careful not to blink."

Xu Meng paused for a few seconds, making sure that all the players and spectators were focused on him, and then he touched his fingers together.

"Snapped!"

In the central square, the players who craned their necks immediately noticed that Xu Meng's figure disappeared from the deck.

"Is this the end?"

Qihuahua in the crowd was stunned.

Orange Juice was also stunned: "Magic? That's it?"

"Magic magic? I can do that too! Isn't it just going offline?" The brave sniper couldn't help but complain.

Huanyue didn't complain, but patted his shoulder and motioned him to look at the big screen.

Several people turned around together.

I found that on the big screen, Xu Meng was still snapping his fingers as he had just done, but the place he was in had changed from the deck to the living room.

Huanyue saw it more clearly than them—

After Xu Meng snapped his fingers, he appeared in the living room in just a moment.

That's obviously not the living room in the game world, but the living room in reality! "Why are you wearing pajamas? Live broadcast around the world, are you so casual?"

"Is this your living room? What a sudden room tour..."

“Amazing magic! But what about the hardware?”

……

Comments of complaints quickly scrolled across the screen.

No one realized what was wrong at first.

Until a striking message suddenly popped up:
[Wait! Where are your VR glasses?!]
After being reminded by the eye-catching message, the audience finally realized——

Xu Meng did not wear VR glasses from beginning to end!

This discovery instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the live broadcast room:

"The physical body enters and exits the virtual world?!"

"What kind of two-dimensional magic is this!"

"Bullshit, it's binary magic!"

"Then I can also go to Silver City in person to see my wife?"

"Wait wait wait! This is impossible! Is this an editing effect? ​​How can a physical body enter a virtual world? This is too outrageous!!"

……

The live broadcast room was flooded with comments.

There were also loud exclamations in the central square.

In the picture, Xu Meng smiled slightly.

He didn't explain, just pointed at the camera.

The next moment, the giant crocodile that had appeared at the award ceremony and swallowed Zhu Mo in one gulp appeared again and jumped up from behind Xu Meng!

It opened its bloody mouth and almost swallowed the players in front of the camera in one gulp!

In the central square, many players who had just finished fighting retreated subconsciously.

But the giant crocodile did not actually swallow the lens.

Xu Meng stretched out his right hand wearing the tactile glove and patted the giant crocodile's head, making a muffled "bang bang" sound.

——The living room could only accommodate the giant crocodile’s head, and its body was still sunk under the floor.

Xu Meng pushed its head.

So this big guy started "swimming" on its own on the living room floor.

But this giant crocodile is so big that it makes the entire living room look like a small fish tank.

The audience across the Internet stared blankly at the huge creature swimming on the floor, and they couldn't even send any comments.

On the empty screen, Xu Meng finally spoke again:
“This is the new hardware for building dreams.”

“A completely new type of display device.”

He turned his head to look at the giant crocodile that was chewing his carpet with a crunching sound under Xiao Meng's command.

"Many people who see this scene may subconsciously think that this is an AR device."

"But no."

“AR devices also need cameras to see digital content.”

"But the new equipment for building dreams doesn't need to be so troublesome."

"At this point, I could see the crocodile with my naked eyes without any visual aids."

"With the help of tactile gloves and somatosensory synchronization suits, you can interact with it in a realistic way."

"I just logged into the virtual world and entered the Sprawling City. I didn't use VR glasses, but projected the image of the Sprawling City into reality."

“If all goes well, this will be the next generation display solution for building dreams.”

“By then, players will not only be able to get rid of the constraints of VR glasses and move more freely between the virtual world and the real world, but they will also be able to bring the creations in the virtual world into real life!”

“Like this giant crocodile.”

"Or -"

As Xu Meng spoke, he reached out to his side, grabbed the hilt of the sword out of thin air, and pulled it back!
Just like that, he pulled out a giant sword bigger than his own from the air!
"Draw the sword from the void!"

"Huh? I've wanted to try this for a long time!"

Zhumeng’s official live broadcast rooms on major live broadcast platforms have already attracted nearly one million players because of the new game trailer. Now that Xu Meng suddenly pulled out such a super explosive piece of news that is enough to shock the world, the number of viewers has begun to soar again.

It is soaring at a rate of tens of thousands per second!

In just a few breaths, they reached the limit of the platform!

But before the live broadcast ended, Xu Meng quickly finished her closing remarks:

"Well, all the information has been released!"

"If you want more information, go up to the 100th floor of the Sky Arena!"

"On the day when the first player reaches the 100th floor, I will show the holographic device live and give it to this player for free!"

"Oh, by the way, due to certain policies, the gifting rules are temporarily limited to Xiaguo players."

"Well, this live broadcast ends here!"

"See you next time!"

The moment Xu Meng waved goodbye, the live broadcast room was disconnected at the speed of light.

There are tens of millions of people on major live streaming platforms around the world - and this number is still growing rapidly. Seeing the live streaming room suddenly go dark was a bit unexpected.

The audience couldn’t even tell whether Zhumeng took the initiative to close the live broadcast room or the live broadcast platform server crashed, causing the broadcast to be taken offline.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

What really matters now is...

Is this true?

Has DreamZhu really developed this world-leading black technology?
Or is this another prank by Xu Meng?

You know, he has a criminal record in this regard!
