The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 404 Sony sells its gaming business (asking for monthly tickets)

When Ye Ying stood up again, pushed through the crowd and returned to the duel circle, the audience was stunned.

"This isn't going to kill you?"

If it were a flesh and blood body, it would have been blown to pieces by being hit in the face by the [Jet Iron Fist]!

The dragon fighting gameplay has just been updated, and no one is clear about the mechanism yet, let alone the damage formula, and the gameplay instructions have only been roughly read.

——Otherwise I wouldn’t be so surprised now.

Ye Ying raised her head and looked at the dragon soul that Xun Fei had just summoned in the sky, and was also extremely surprised:
"You have two eighth-level dragon souls?"

Is this person so brave?

But he soon discovered something was wrong - the Flying Thunder Dragon summoned by Xun Fei was being chased and killed by the Male Fire Dragon, and it was at most level six!
"In Dragon Fighting Mode, can level 6 also join the battle?"

Ye Ying suddenly felt that she should read the gameplay of [Dragon Fighting] carefully from beginning to end before starting to play...

But it's too late to say this now.

Even if he saw Xun Fei's operations, he couldn't imitate them.

Because he has put all his energy into impacting the tenth-level spirit. Now, except for the male fire dragon at the peak of the tenth level, the remaining spirits are only at the second level at most.

They are still just dragon soul babies. Apart from being cute, they are really useless.

To confess is to hand yourself over to be killed.

It’s so brutal just thinking about it.

Without time to think, Xun Fei rushed up again.

Ye Ying urgently mobilized the male fire dragon to intercept.

The combat power of the male fire dragon at the peak of level ten is unquestionable. Even when the armored Xun Fei punched it, the male fire dragon remained as steady as a rock.

But before Ye Ying could breathe a sigh of relief, the unattended sixth-level Flying Thunder Dragon rushed up again and sent him a few lightning bolts.

It was not until this moment that Ye Ying, who was stunned by the attack, finally understood—

[Dragon Fighting] is not only about who has a higher spirit level or who has better command ability.

Let’s see who has more spirits!

Xun Fei had one more high-level spirit than him, and immediately gained an absolute strategic advantage!
If he had three high-level spirits, he could use one to attack the Sky Comet Dragon, one to attack the Flying Thunder Dragon, and the last one to attack the opponent's body.

Unfortunately, he didn't.

The result was a dilemma and regretful defeat.

The 18-game winning streak came to an end!

Only at this moment did he deeply understand - the value of Long Chengfei's [Miracle Night] in which he won 50 consecutive victories in one go!
Xun Fei was still the same and did not make any declaration of victory after winning the battle.

He also directly asked the people present: "Does anyone have two or more high-level spirits? Let's compete!"

There were actually people responding at the scene.

Ye Ying felt a little embarrassed, so he quit the duel circle and returned to the login space to carefully study the rules of [Dragon Fighting].

He scrolled all the way to page 11 before he saw the "Explanation of Changes in the Rules of the Game World and the Real World"...

……

The duel circle in Mansheng City was not affected by Ye Ying's withdrawal.

After Xun Fei had a few rounds of sparring with several opponents, he gave up his position to other spectators who were itching to fight.

His several rounds of battles successfully inspired many passers-by players.

Everyone began to realize that [Dragon Fighting] requires training at least 3 spirits in order to avoid being at a disadvantage in numbers.

But 3 is just enough.

If you only play the pure "Dragon Master" - that is, standing on the sidelines to command troops and direct 3 dragon souls to fight.

That is indeed enough.

But if you are confident in your skills and want to use [Armor] and [Dragon Warrior], you can participate in it personally.

Then you need to raise more dragon souls!

Because they are different spirits, the armor and weapons they transform into are also different!
If you want to collect all 14 [Dragon Weapons], you need to raise at least 5 types of Dragon Souls to the ninth level!
——Most dragon souls can be transformed into three different weapons after reaching the ninth level.

This number makes many players feel painful just thinking about it!
But watching others standing in the duel circle, waving their fingers, they could command three dragon souls to fight from the sky to the ground, and the fight was extremely fierce...

I am so envious.

In the end, they all decided: No matter what, let’s get the three high-level dragon souls first!
The Spirit System, which had already become popular due to [Sky Arena], has become even more popular once again!

The central square of the sprawling city also became a popular venue for dragon fighting because of what happened that day.

……

……

On April 4, the offline trial session of Dream Building ended.

However, players and tourists from all over the world did not evacuate on a large scale. Instead, a steady stream of new players and new tourists came.

Because the Dream Machine Experience Center has started trial operation.

As for when the Dream Machine will be released, there is still no definite news.

Players all over the world are extremely anxious about this and keep urging Xu Meng to do it under his account every day.

But Xu Meng had to be cautious.

——After all, dream machines are different from hardware such as treadmills, VR glasses, and holographic display devices.

It not only involves the human brain and consciousness, but Xu Meng also made many modifications to turn it into a "game console."

He had to make sure that everything was foolproof before he could be completely relieved. In Xu Meng's arrangement, the Dream Machine Experience Hall would be open for a month without any sequelae before the Dream Machine would be put on the shelves.

This is also the advice of Wu Shuang and others: the work of putting the Dream Machine on the shelves should be slow rather than hasty.

As for the impact caused by this - the Jinghu area is becoming more and more lively, and more and more domestic and foreign tourists are pouring into Ningzhou...

Almost everyone is happy to see this happen.

Needless to say, the Ningzhou government and local hotels, restaurants and businesses.

Players are in a good mood every day when they see like-minded people from all over the world gathering together.

——This is especially true for Ye Ying.

He goes to Hall 1 for a while every day.

And every time he went in, a group of people would call on him to pull out the male fire dragon for a walk!

……

The marketing department of Dream Building was also very happy.

As we all know – the surrounding area is a very profitable industry!
And the more influential the IP is, the more money the peripheral products will make!

Does Dream Building have a big IP?
It’s so great to build a dream!
A game with 4 million users and tens of millions of sales, this is no joke.

Various character figures, posters, pillows, pain clothes, blind boxes, co-branded dolls of "Frost and Snow Project"...

The kettle, telescope, guns, tanks, airplane toys, and bronze military rank badges from Lord of War...

The full series of "Monster Hunter" ancient dragon figures, cat-man dolls, hunting diaries, dragon claw gloves, dragon head hats...

All kinds of peripheral products were directly cleared out by tourists.

The marketing department frantically called Yuanyang Group, urging them to replenish stocks as soon as possible.

“Not enough to sell!”

In Yuanyang Group's production workshop, the assembly lines are almost smoking.

——Economic transformation, shrinking consumption, and declining profits have nothing to do with Yuanyang Group since the second half of last year!
And this is all because the young master has a good eye for talent!

……

Xu Meng also knows something about the situation in the marketing department.

So when Zhang Baiquan came to him and said he wanted to tell him the good news in person, he thought Zhang Baiquan was going to say this.

But he guessed wrong.

Zhang Baiquan brought another piece of news:
"Boss, Sony Game Station is down!"

Xu Meng was stunned immediately, "Sony Game Station is down, do you need to make a special trip to tell me the good news?"

"Am I so narrow-minded?"

Zhang Baiquan said nothing, just looked at Xu Meng silently.

"Well, it is good news indeed." Xu Meng stopped pretending, "Where did you get the news? What exactly is going on?"

Although Sony was almost killed by him and Xiao Meng and suffered heavy losses.

But after all, it is a large enterprise with profound heritage. It was once the number one console in the gaming industry. Even if it relies solely on its past achievements, it should be able to survive for another one or two fiscal years.

It’s too fast that it suddenly doesn’t work now!

Zhang Baiquan explained: "The source of the news is one of our brand partners."

"According to him, Sony Group has privately contacted some large media groups to seek a package sale of all its gaming businesses."

With the release of holographic equipment and the verification of the dream machine, brand owners who invested in opening stores in sprawling cities are delighted that they have made a good bet.

At a price that seems surprisingly cheap now, he signed the contract for the operating rights of a shop in the sprawling city.

They also came to us hoping to sign longer-term contracts.

——It is best to have an indefinite contract!
Brands that had not cooperated before also came to us, hoping to reach a cooperation with Zhumeng and open their own stores in the virtual world.

This is not only for marketing, but also to compete for the publicity position of the "next era"!

But this time, that time.

If you want to cooperate with me again now, the price will not be the same as before.

Even doubling it is not enough!

Even the marketing department, at the instruction of Xu Meng, formulated [aesthetic review standards].

Simply put: all brands that have used DEI advertising to disgust people should get out.

——It’s not that we are completely uncooperative, but we have to queue up at the back, behind all the normal brands.

And the agreement and price will be more stringent than normal brands.

In this situation, many brand managers will do anything to win the favor of their dream builders!

Even the inside information such as "Sony is seeking to sell its gaming business" which may involve a transaction worth billions of dollars was released without hesitation.

……

"Is that so?"

Xu Meng thought for a moment and immediately called Xiao Meng to help.

"Xiao Meng, help me dig deeper into this matter and see how it progresses."

"Xin Li is really something, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"

For this kind of thing, Dream Building must have a hand in it!
