The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 317: The power and flaws of the dream machine, creating experience!
There are 14 types of weapons in Monster Hunter.

At this moment in the stronghold, there are a total of 14 people, including Xu Meng and Xiao Meng, which is exactly one kind for each person.

This was also what Xu Meng intended.

Each weapon has unique usage skills and combat styles, which must be shown to the players.

They are just different weapons, so it is inevitable that their popularity will vary.

Everyone likes popular weapons, but unpopular weapons are not very popular.

For the sake of fairness, Xu Meng let everyone choose freely, and he and Xiao Meng would fill the positions.

If they both liked the same weapon, that would be easy—

Duel!

Whoever wins gets to choose first.

As expected, Xu Meng saw four sword warriors fighting each other...

Finally, it was [You Guagua], another hunting master who dealt more damage than Huanyue in the [Global Survival Competition], who successfully won the final victory.

However, after that, Qihuahua and Luoyeqiuqiu both fell in love with the big sword, but they did not fight.

Instead, after a few discussions, they used a simple rock-paper-scissors game to decide who would own the greatsword.

The four swordsmen over there, who had fought to the death and finally decided who would own the weapons after a fierce competition, looked at the harmonious atmosphere in confusion, with one sentence written all over their faces:

"Can this still happen?"

It does.

And until all the weapons were distributed, there was no further fighting.

This made the four swordsmen feel a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, after distributing the weapons, Xu Meng announced that everyone could move freely, so there was no need to continue the embarrassment.

Of course, although Xu Meng said that it was a free activity, no one was really so calm to play, but they all started practicing the use of weapons.

——Some people were given weapons that they were not familiar with.

Even if it is a familiar weapon, the combat logic has changed significantly when switching from the Fantasy Game Platform to the Dream Machine, and you need to get familiar with it again.

They are all a little nervous as they will be live streaming their hunt in front of players from all over the world tomorrow.

In order to practice cooperation, they also formed teams to hunt together.

Unfortunately, it is currently in the beta stage, and only 4-person teams are allowed to hunt. It is impossible for 14 people to form a team together, otherwise they would have to give it a try.

As for Xu Meng, he went to the "Monster Hunter" development team.

After all, today is the official end of the internal test, and he needs to understand the feedback from players during the internal test.

Game bugs are only one aspect of this.

Players' opinions on the game's world view, boss difficulty, weapon preferences, equipment production, material drop rates and other mechanisms must also be summarized and analyzed to determine whether adjustments are needed.

The last day of February was spent in busyness.
-
After get off work, Xu Meng returned to the laboratory and hosted the first day's exchange meeting.

And at the exchange meeting, a scene of Huanyue hugging Huo Huo and kissing him fiercely was played.

Huanyue was shocked and immediately lowered her head and covered her face, too embarrassed to face anyone.

But the remaining 11 people all stared at the scene with wide eyes.

Especially the seven flowers!

——She also gave her [Mind Cube] to Huo Huo, and Huo Huo is also her wife!

"You! You! You!" Qihuahua pointed at Huanyue and was speechless for a long time.

In the end, all he could say was: "How could you do this?!!!"

I've never kissed one!!

"Hahahaha!" Luoye Qiuqiu laughed so hard that she couldn't stop.

"Hahaha, Mr. Huan, let me interview you." The heroic sniper complained mercilessly, "Is there any difference between the kiss you gave Huo Huo this time and the one you gave him at the Cologne Games Show?"

"Yes, yes, how does she compare to girls in real life?" Others also became curious.

Xu Meng controlled her expression very well, without a smile on her face.

Still serious, as if this was just a normal meeting procedure.

"It's okay, just speak up and feel free to talk."

"Using a new device like the Dream Machine to enter the game world is very different from the traditional way - even the Fantasy Game Platform. The contact between players and NPCs is also an inevitable part."

"I know everyone wants the virtual world to be as real as possible."

"That's what I hope."

"But we also have to realize that we must limit players from acting arbitrarily and outrageously towards NPCs." "If it's an ordinary NPC, it's easy to deal with - let the NPC stop the player, or punish him at the system level."

“But the characters in Project Frost are another story.”

“The core experience that Project Frost and Snow provides everyone is companionship.”

“We can’t use a rough approach to block some of the more intimate interactions between players and characters.”

"So the scale of this part becomes very difficult to grasp."

"Before the Dream Machine is actually launched, Dream Maker must find the right line as possible, and this requires your help. Your ideas, attempts and opinions are all important."

"Including trying to kiss the character?" Qihuahua asked.

Xu Meng smiled gently: "Yes, including this attempt."

"An even more outrageous attempt, don't you think? Luoye?"

Luoye Qiuqiu, who was laughing heartily, was reminded by Xu Meng. Suddenly, she remembered something and her smile froze on her face.

"Ah this... yes, yes."

"But I don't need to release that..."

Luoye Qiuqiu was scared to death.

Fortunately, Huanyue finally spoke up at this time: "You asked me how I compare to girls in real life... I don't know! I've never had a girlfriend."

“???” The brave sniper was surprised.

“???” Others were also shocked.

"No, buddy, you spend so much money in the game, you can't be short of money, right? You said you don't have a girlfriend?" Luoye Qiuqiu couldn't believe it.

Huanyue was puzzled: "Are these two things related?"

Luoye Qiuqiu opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.

The others were also speechless.

There was even a look of admiration in the eyes of the heroic sniper.

——Who would have thought that you, Huanyue, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who has a lot of wives in the game world, is actually a pure love party?

"But it seems to be no different from the time in Cologne?" Huanyue said uncertainly.

After all, Cologne was several months ago.

That incident was a bit too painful to recall, and Huanyue always avoided thinking about it.

When comparing at this time, the memories are inevitably a little vague.

But Xu Meng quickly confirmed it for him: "Your feeling is correct, it's exactly the same."

“???” There were more question marks in everyone’s heads.

Xu Meng explained somewhat helplessly: "The dream machine is connected to the data of the game world. Now only Xiao Meng and I are working on it."

"Of course the development team of the Fantasy Game Platform can't write for you what it feels like when the characters kiss."

"As for me, my energy is limited, so I took a shortcut."

"If you have a memory of kissing a girl, you will automatically call upon those feelings when you kiss the character."

"If not, the basic template will be used uniformly - that is, the touch of simulated silicone."

"This is also the convenience of using a dream machine to create dreams - just like when you are actually dreaming, your brain will call upon your past experiences and memories to automatically fill in the details of many things, without me having to write details for every movement, every smell, and every touch."

"If not, you may have to wait for several years before you can play games with the Dream Machine."

Xu Meng took into account that these people were all players, so he did not use any difficult academic terms, but tried to use easy-to-understand everyday language to describe the operating mechanism of the dream machine to them.

"So..." Huanyue said speechlessly, "If it's something that I haven't experienced in real life, I can't experience it in the game either?"

"That's not the case." Xu Meng shook her head. "It's just that we can't simply fill in the details with our brains. Instead, the developers - for now, that means Xiao Meng and I - must write these details so that you can feel them."

"Believe me, let alone things you haven't experienced, I can also let you experience things that are impossible to happen in reality."

Xu Meng is very confident about this.

[Creating experience], this was originally his goal and concept for making games.

"Impossible in reality?" The big guy blinked and guessed a little blankly:
"flight?"

"To space?"

"Become the emperor?"

"Travel through time?"

"Graduation of Innocence?"
