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

Actually, he did a lot today.

For example, he has already found the staff on duty at the experience center.

The specific scheduling and other tasks were left to Xia Tian.

"Okay, the reason I suddenly started a live stream today is actually to discuss something with everyone."

"I don't know if everyone has seen the studio's trending topic, it's about playing Genshin Impact in the VR experience room."

[I saw it! Really?!]

[Those card-drawing effects are so cool...]

If it's true, I'll fly to the experience center immediately tomorrow.

I want to try my luck at getting the Egret Princess skin!

What other surprises does your studio have up its sleeve that I don't know about?!

Are these Easter eggs only available at the experience center?

Zhou Tiankuo saw this comment and hesitated to speak.

But then he hesitated, thinking about how this would involve conflicts of interest in the partnership.

After a long silence, he finally spoke.

"Actually, there's a question I'd like to discuss with everyone regarding VR devices."

Chapter 125 decides to adopt the players' suggestions.

"I'm a little hesitant about whether to tell you about this."

When the moment came, Zhou Tiankuo was still struggling with his decision.

Firstly, he felt that although his studio was now famous, it was still a startup, and directly engaging in collaborations with other manufacturers seemed irresponsible to the players.

Secondly, collaborating with manufacturers means making money, which is an undeniable fact. In the eyes of some players, once they have such a collaboration, they are no different from other studios.

They won't listen to things like "it's for the players' benefit, or to pay for nostalgia." They'll only think that if a studio becomes just another ordinary one, then all the reputation they've worked so hard to build might be wasted.

Even talking about it during a live stream put Zhou Tiankuo under immense pressure.

Once it's said, it can't be taken back.

Moreover, regardless of whether they ultimately succeed or not, players will consider it a test.

[The boss looks preoccupied today!]

[The experience center was performing quite well, so why is the boss so worried?]

[Hey guys, did you see that? The big boss is worried about the business at the experience center. Let's all go and support him from now on!]

[Supported! Played Pokémon two days in a row, it was great!]

[I'm a little different from the person upstairs; I've been playing Genshin Impact for two days in a row...]

Zhou Tiankuo frowned, but finally blurted it out.

"Here's the thing, today a VR game developer contacted me wanting to collaborate."

The moment he said those words, he didn't even dare to look at the comments.

He feared that players would instantly turn into demons denouncing him.

“They saw the special Easter eggs and effects I set up for Genshin Impact in the VR experience room and felt that if we collaborated to release a small VR device specifically for playing Genshin Impact, there might be a great business opportunity.”

Zhou Tiankuo didn't dare look at the camera, but just said this to himself.

"I want to tell you this because I need to consider your opinions on this matter."

Zhou Tiankuo took a deep breath.

"Even if we are really going to cooperate, we need to see the players' purchasing desire, so we'll do a survey first. Of course, right now I'm just an ordinary studio manager. If you're not satisfied with this or anything, you can tell me directly, but please don't be too harsh."

Although he wasn't a sensitive man, he had built the studio himself.

These players were gradually accumulated, and many of them would come to support Zhou Tiankuo when he started his live stream.

Zhou Tiankuo still didn't want to feel their negative emotions!

It must be said that, when it comes to players, Zhou Tiankuo is still just a greenhorn game designer.

He prefers to bury himself in making games and planning for the future.

After a while, Zhou Tiankuo finally looked up at the screen.

[VR game developer?]

Holy crap, isn't this a golden opportunity?

[A VR device specifically designed for playing Genshin Impact seems like overkill... but it also sounds quite reasonable.]

I'm actually starting to feel a little tempted, guys...

After playing Genshin Impact at the VR experience center for two consecutive days, I want to tell everyone that playing it in VR is definitely worth it, especially considering the amazing Easter eggs created by Tiankuo Studio.

[But those Easter eggs are only available at the experience center. If a special device were built, could we experience those special effects at home?]

[For example, gacha pulls?]

Surprisingly, the comments section didn't praise or criticize him; instead, they seriously discussed the feasibility of the plan.

Zhou Tiankuo was actually moved!

After thinking for a moment, he explained, "It's like this, their current idea for cooperating with me is to produce co-branded equipment specifically for playing Genshin Impact. As for anything else, I'm not sure yet, but this cooperation is just the beginning, which is why I thought I'd discuss it with everyone."

The implication is that he has no way to provide players with more information; for now, he can only gauge players' purchasing desires.

"I can only guarantee that if there really is a co-branded device, all the Easter eggs that can be experienced in the experience center will be added, and some other things will also be added."

After all, it's a VR device specifically made for Genshin Impact.

If Zhou Tiankuo wants to cooperate, he must show full sincerity.

At least a lot more Easter eggs need to be added so that players will be willing to pay for this "collaboration".

[If you're confident in your work, you can give it a try.]

[Genshin Impact has maintained a high level of popularity since its release, and the fact that it still has so many active players suggests that collaboration is a great approach.]

After seeing the trending topics online, who wouldn't want to visit the experience center? But some people are limited by their circumstances!

If it's released, I'll definitely buy it.

I have VR equipment at home, but VR games are just too difficult to play, and the effects aren't good enough for Genshin Impact... But I really don't want to spend any more money on VR equipment.

[How about a compromise, boss? First, set up a dedicated VR internet cafe, primarily for experiencing Genshin Impact. See how the players react, then decide whether to launch a dedicated collaborative project.]

The comments were actually people offering serious suggestions and advice.

Zhou Tiankuo patiently watched until the end and collected all the players' opinions.

“I understand your demands, and I’m glad… Instead of directly criticizing or attacking me, you’ve seriously discussed the feasibility of this matter with me.”

Zhou Tiankuo couldn't help but bow...

My studio's success today is truly inseparable from these enthusiastic and kind players.

"I'll consider what everyone has said. As for VR internet cafes, aren't there already many such internet cafes around?"

At least in this world, he felt it was quite common.

He had seen two or three such companies near the High-tech Zone.

The sound quality was really not good, and the place was practically deserted.

However, the comments sent by the players also gave Zhou Tiankuo a lot of inspiration.

"If possible, I'll see if I can try it out in these internet cafes first, and then see the specific results."

If these internet cafes are revitalized by playing Genshin Impact in VR, then we can see if we can have further cooperation with the manufacturers.

Of course, it's necessary to negotiate with the manufacturer before conducting trial runs in internet cafes.

Because the technology he uses in his VR gaming room is not currently available in ordinary VR internet cafes on the market.

In any case, he needs to contact Xie Youwei, the manufacturer, more often.

Faced with countless comments urging for more episodes and even asking for spoilers... Zhou Tiankuo smiled slightly.

"That's the main topic of today's broadcast. As for games, there's nothing to share with you today."

Objectively speaking, he was indeed there to conduct research.

Chapter 126 Seriously Planning the Genshin Impact Update

After the live stream ended, Zhou Tiankuo made a point of checking his current game development progress.

I opened the system backend, which I hadn't seen in a long time.

Upon seeing the familiar words "Welcome Host," Zhou Tiankuo curled his lip in disdain. "You used to threaten me every day, but so much time has passed and none of the things you mentioned have happened."

At the time, he thought there was more than one system.

The system remained silent: "..."

Now that Zhou Tiankuo was at ease, he became more mischievous and said sarcastically, "You just lied to me on purpose, didn't you? You wanted to provoke me and make me grow up? You really went to great lengths."

The system remained silent.

Zhou Tiankuo said smugly, "I knew it. I'm the only one in this world who is the chosen one."

However, he wasn't particularly bothered by the matter.

He scrolled through the drop-down lists one by one, checking the game's data.

In fact, by now, the games he makes have become quite stable, as has the entire studio.

Every game, whether measured by downloads, active players, or revenue.

After the initial surge in popularity over the first few days, the situation has stabilized considerably.

But stability is not defeat.
