Starting with Genshin Impact, the whole world is going crazy for it.

VR games...

Zhou Tiankuo was somewhat confused.

My own experience center, currently only Genshin Impact and Pokémon use VR technology... it seems that none of the others involve this aspect.

Why would manufacturers approach us?

Seeing Zhou Tiankuo's bewildered expression, Xie Youwei hurriedly asked, "Designer Zhou looks so confused. Don't you know that there are already many trending topics about the studio's games?"

"Trending topic? Which game specifically?" Zhou Tiankuo took out his phone. "Excuse me, I'll search for it now."

Xie Youwei said, "It's Genshin Impact and Pokémon."

Zhou Tiankuo has already seen it.

#Playing Genshin Impact with VR is so awesome#

The name of this trending topic left Zhou Tiankuo completely baffled.

Today is the second day of business. If we're talking about trending topics, it should have been yesterday.

Why is it only available today?

Zhou Tiankuo took a closer look.

It turns out that the incident started when a player was playing Genshin Impact in the VR game experience room of the experience center and suddenly had the idea to try drawing cards.

This way of drawing cards is very different from drawing cards when playing at home.

Standing in the center of the "pool" wearing VR equipment, you can see ten beams of light descending from the sky and surrounding you, creating a dazzling spectacle.

Then each ray of light reveals its true form, suspended in the surrounding air.

If there is a character, they will slowly descend from the sky and walk towards the player.

The Weibo post that went viral was about a player getting the Coral Palace Heart Sea item.

The pretty girl greeted me and shook my hand, her eyes radiating happiness as if she'd been chosen by me.

Which player wouldn't go crazy?

The comments below also share this style.

Holy crap! This is amazing!

Looks like I'll have to go to the experience center...

I've never experienced this kind of effect when playing VR games at home. Is it only available in VR arcades?

Holy crap, isn't this every man's dream?

Zhou Tiankuo was stunned after seeing this trending topic.

“We think it’s very innovative that your studio designed this part,” Xie Youwei couldn’t help but remind him.

Zhou Tiankuo then came to his senses.

The special effects for drawing cards were indeed something he had specifically arranged...

But that was a long time ago!

At that time, he had just learned that he was going to have a game experience center, and he had already started preparing this little Easter egg.

He had completely forgotten about this feature after only two days of opening, and now it's even trending on social media.

I checked the time; it was just now.

One hour ago.

It seems that this trending topic quietly gained traction online while Zhou Tiankuo and his team were watching the big shots from Xingguang play Plants vs. Zombies!

Chapter 124 Co-branded Devices: What Do Players Say?

"Since you've already seen the trending topics, why not listen to my thoughts?"

Xie Youwei was still persistently discussing this collaboration with Zhou Tiankuo.

Zhou Tiankuo asked earnestly, "I don't understand, what kind of cooperation do you hope to achieve by coming to me?"

The experience center now has a VR room, and the Easter eggs he created can only be experienced within the experience center.

In fact, Zhou Tiankuo made many other settings in other areas as well, not just for card draws.

For example, when playing Genshin Impact in VR, the various elemental reactions appear clearer and more vibrant than in the PC version.

After all, elemental reactions are a very important feature of the game Genshin Impact!

The seven elements, any two of which can be combined together, can produce different effects.

Furthermore, when using VR to fight bosses, your own actions are faster than using a mouse and keyboard.

For example, rolling and dodging make you more agile.

However, this cannot be achieved through a single VR device; it also requires the setup of an entire VR device experience room.

Xie Youwei said earnestly, "Designer Zhou, we noticed your combination of Genshin Impact and VR technology, so we think that if we can collaborate to develop a new type of VR device specifically for playing Genshin Impact, it will have a large audience in the market."

New type?

Is it specifically for playing Genshin Impact?

Zhou Tiankuo's first reaction was that most players probably wouldn't buy it!

He frowned: "You're a manufacturer looking for me, and I want to cooperate. I'm sure I can make a profit from it. First of all, I can make my stance clear: I have no prejudice against you and I also want to make money."

He knew that for businessmen, showing such an attitude was the most reassuring thing for them.

But then Zhou Tiankuo hurriedly explained, "However, I don't think the cooperation you proposed is very feasible."

"Why? You've included so many special effects in the game that require VR to achieve, and players have even posted about it on social media... Everyone seems to really want it!"

Xie Youwei hurriedly spoke.

"Does this mean they have to travel thousands of miles to your experience center to get this kind of experience?"

His words almost stumped Zhou Tiankuo!

Fortunately, Zhou Tiankuo had his own considerations and quickly replied: "That's not what I meant. If technology is advanced enough and VR devices become dirt cheap and every household has them, then it's perfectly reasonable for us to do a joint project."

"But right now, not everyone can afford VR devices."

Zhou Tiankuo still remembers this very well!

It was in this environment that he was able to create good PC games, which led to his recognition and love by players.

"If we release a VR device that only allows you to play Genshin Impact, it doesn't seem very good for players..."

Zhou Tiankuo finally made his stance clear.

Xie Youwei understood Zhou Tiankuo's meaning and frowned, remaining silent for a moment.

"Anyway, if you bring up this plan with me now, I'm definitely inclined to reject it."

After a while, Xie Youwei said, "Tiankuo Studio is indeed very special. This is the first time I have encountered a studio that considers the players so much, instead of rushing to sign a contract with us as soon as they heard there was money to be made."

He truly admired Zhou Tiankuo!

Zhou Tiankuo waved his hand.

He also wants to make money, but in this world, he values ​​his reputation more.

After all, I already have the support of the system, so as long as I behave myself, I don't have to worry about not making money.

If he were to make decisions that he felt were not good in order to make money, then that would be against his conscience.

"However... I still think this plan is very feasible! Because your studio has put a lot of effort into the application of VR technology, and we absolutely cannot waste that."

Xie Youwei has no intention of giving up yet.

Zhou Tiankuo listened attentively.

"I suggest that designer Zhou do some market research and see what players think. If several thousand players say that a collaboration is possible, then we might as well make a batch of devices and see how it goes."

If the feedback is bad, then forget it.

Xie Youwei said a few more words earnestly before leaving.

Zhou Tiankuo fell into deep thought.

When I got home that evening, I made a point of turning on my VR device and trying it out.

"The experience of using Genshin Impact in VR is indeed better..."

However, is it really appropriate to develop a VR device that can only be used to play Genshin Impact and provide it to a specific group of players?

Will players and rivals attack me, saying I'm just making easy money and exploiting them?

Zhou Tiankuo still wants to cherish his reputation.

But then he thought that since he had already traveled to this world, and the technology here was so convenient and advanced.

It was precisely because of this that he had the sudden inspiration to set up many Easter eggs that could only be achieved with VR.

It would be a real shame if these Easter eggs could only be found in the experience center!

After thinking it over, Zhou Tiankuo turned on his computer and opened his live stream.

In any case, Tiankuo Studio has always been known for respecting players and interacting with them, so it's perfectly reasonable to ask players for their opinions on this matter!

"I don't know if anyone will watch the show since it started suddenly."

[The big shot has arrived!]

[Just got back from the experience center today, it's really great, guys go check it out!]

[It's the second day already, surely there's still someone who hasn't been to the experience center? Really?!]

[Anyone who hasn't been to the experience center is really missing out! The entire center is amazing; it's like a high-end internet cafe. My kid would love to live there!]

[If there were a place to sleep in the experience center, I would really like to stay there.]

Are you guys crazy? The computers in the demo room can only play games from Tiankuo Studio. Won't you get bored playing them all day?

[You make it sound like other games are just fun...]

Zhou Tiankuo smiled as he watched the comments section buzzing with activity.
