In order to ascend, I had no choice but to play games.

Chapter 266 Incredible Invention (Update [-])
The real door has been opened by the teddy bears. Behind the door is a dense darkness that cannot be opened. It is difficult to see clearly what is behind it.

The only thing that shines is the sign in the dark. The blue inverted triangle arrow rises and falls on the ground, guiding Lao Wang in the direction he is going.

Little bears lined up on both sides of the road to see them off. They opened their eyes wide and wiped the coolant from the corners of their eyes with handkerchiefs. At the same time, they looked at Lao Wang helplessly. Their pitiful appearance made Lao Wang's heart throb.

At this moment, he didn't want to leave.

However, his curiosity about the outside had taken over. Although he knew that he might not be able to come back if he left, he still said goodbye to every bear and walked into the darkness resolutely.

The outside world seems to be an empty universe, but it is more lonely than the real universe.After all, there are stars shining for it in the universe, but here there are only road signs.

The cold wind swept across Lao Wang. The coldness here formed a sharp contrast with the sweet hut behind him, and Lao Wang missed that warm place again.

The live broadcast function has also been passively turned off. It seems that Fangcheng Studio does not want anyone to reveal the ending so as not to interfere with the final experience of the game.

Although he was reluctant to leave his playmates, he still walked into the darkness and walked towards the sign in front of him.

The sounds behind him gradually disappeared, and the small door emitting warm light gradually faded away. When Lao Wang arrived at the first sign, he heard a calm voice like the sound of lake water ringing in his ears: "You can look back now. .”

Subconsciously turning his head, he found that the small door behind him had turned into a point of light. The memory of being behind the door emerged, making Lao Wang feel even more lonely.

"Welcome to this place. The will and determination you have shown have won my respect. I forgot to introduce myself. I am a referee and an Iron Guard in the Iron Fortress. My previous position was neutral and moderate. , is now responsible for guiding you apostles to reach a higher level."

"Iron Guard? The world view of this game is still connected to the Tiandao Network?" Lao Wang asked in surprise.

"Yes."

"Fangcheng Studio is really working on the metaverse! It's so ambitious."

"Well... you can understand it that way. How do you feel when you see the sweet little house that you once had disappearing? I'm curious about your thoughts."

Lao Wang stared at the light spot in the distance and thought for a moment, and then said: "A little nostalgic, but also a little reluctant to let go."

"You can go back. The road is still there and you still have a chance."

"No, I'd rather know what's behind."

"It's a good curiosity. Although I don't want you to leave, I respect your choice."

The signpost beside Lao Wang disappeared, and a new signpost appeared in the distance, guiding Lao Wang to a farther place.

When Lao Wang reached the farther sign, the light of the hut was only the size of a grain of rice, but it still shone brightly in the darkness.

"You actually made it here." The referee's voice sounded, "I'm still a little surprised. After all, in my opinion, you are actually a person who is nostalgic and greedy for enjoyment. I am willing to give you another chance, as long as you look back , you can go back immediately, how about?"

Lao Wang looked at the void speechlessly, feeling that the NPC referee was really good at messing with people's mentality.

The darkness is too cold, and the surroundings are too quiet. The cold air seems to freeze people's souls. The further you walk, the more you miss the room you once had.

Lao Wang believes that even if he goes back, the big teddy bear will not laugh at him for giving up halfway, but will happily welcome his return and continue to provide various enjoyments.

But after reaching this point, Lao Wang found that his longing for the end of the road was greater than his nostalgia for the hut.

Looking back at the hut again, Lao Wang raised his feet and continued to move forward.

The temperature was getting lower and lower, and the surroundings were getting quieter and quieter. In the dark environment, Lao Wang felt that he had forgotten the time and just walked silently.

However, every time he reached a road mark, the referee's voice would sound, using a gentle tone to persuade Lao Wang to turn back.

"There's nothing fun ahead, it's just an endless road. What, you have a friend who has already been to the end? How do you know that the other person didn't lie to you?"

"Are you tired from walking? Do you want to go back and take a rest? I think Teddy Bear and the others have prepared drinks and warm bath water."

"Did you hear it? A little teddy bear is crying. It seems that it missed saying goodbye to you. It must be very happy when you go back now."

Listening to the referee's voice, Lao Wang secretly cursed that this game was really too torturous.

How much fun he had in the cabin, the more memories were brought back. He even remembered the names of every little bear, and all these memories turned into bullets, hitting him hard in the chest.

He has played a lot of meta-games that break the fourth wall, but "Sweet House" is the first virtual reality game. The senses in it are much stronger than other games, and the temptation that Lao Wang needs to overcome is also greater. More.

Forcing himself to forget these things, Lao Wang continued to move forward, slowly reaching each landmark, and then continued walking towards the next landmark.

Just when he was about to think that this journey had no end, he saw a desk appearing next to the sign.

The robot, wearing a black suit and with an obvious inhuman temperament, was sitting behind the desk, waiting for his arrival.

It held its chin with both hands, and with a shrewd yet elegant smile on its face, it silently looked at Lao Wang who came from afar.

"Hello, Lao Wang, I am your good friend, the referee."

Lao Wang's brain was almost frozen.

He looked at the other person blankly, and it took him a while to react, and said dissatisfiedly: "Who is your good friend!"

"Haven't we been chatting for a long time? I feel like we've had enough of a heart-to-heart relationship." The referee sighed aggrievedly, "Congratulations again for coming here. Are you satisfied with our service?"

"What do your services include?"

“Everything from the cabin package to the final trail, those are the services we provide.”

“Except for the service at the end, everything else was great.”

"Thank you for your review, can I give it a five-star rating by default?"

"...Is there something wrong with your hearing system?"

"Thank you for your five-star review. You can go out now."

Lao Wang looked at the referee in front of him and felt that there was definitely something wrong with this AI's brain.

The door is right next to the referee. Pushing the door open is the end of the game.

Looking at the simple door, Lao Wang silently complained in his heart that the ending of the game was too sloppy, but he still walked towards the door.

Before the door was closed, he heard the referee say behind him: "Goodbye, Lao Wang."

Turning his head, Lao Wang still wanted to complain, but then he found the big teddy bear appearing where the referee was just now, saying goodbye to him with a smile.

"Referee, you..."

Lao Wang wanted to say something else, but the other party had already given him a gentle push.

Lao Wang was pushed behind the door, the door closed in front of his eyes, and he fell on the vast grassland.

The boundaries between the two games "Sweet House" and "Zoo" have been broken down, and the two games are connected in a wonderful way.Later, Lao Wang understood why Fang Cheng did what he did.

He found that his five senses became more three-dimensional, the world around him became more vivid, and the whole world became more real.

The breeze blew and the sun set in the west. The grassland looked extremely brilliant at this moment, and Lao Wang discovered that this was the last gift of the game.

Opening the game settings interface, he found that the fidelity of the game cabin had increased from 15% to 18%.

Just a 3% change makes the whole world more real, and this is the final reward of the game.

"So that's what the monkey is talking about."

Sitting cross-legged, Lao Wang quietly admired the sunset, and suddenly sighed: "It would be great if the referee and the others were here."

"Call us?"

Furry paws rested on his shoulders, and a large teddy bear with a large number of animatronic bears appeared behind him.

These teddy bears wear crests made of feathers, dresses made of leaves, and hold spears in their hands. They look like they just ran away from primitive tribes.

Looking at them, Lao Wang asked in surprise: "Didn't you... say you can't go back?"

"That's true, but we can come over." The referee patted Lao Wang's shoulder carelessly, "Congratulations, the new easter egg, the daily life of primitive people has been unlocked. After that, you can choose to play as primitive people, Gao is not happy , are you happy? But we can’t broadcast live at this time until the ending of the game is known to most people.”

The unexpected ending made Lao Wang burst into laughter.

Fangcheng, I really have you!
He had a lot of fun playing this game.

And making a player happy is the greatest compliment to a game company.

At the same time, Fang Cheng, who was remembered by Lao Wang, was looking at the data in his apartment.

The effect of "Sweet House" was even better than he imagined, and it also confirmed that his previous understanding of the game was correct.

The player's feelings during the entire process were within his expectations. Players who have played for a long time have had their mental resistance improved to a certain extent, and they will be able to handle games with higher fidelity with ease.

The arrangement of the plot was negotiated between him and Gonggong, and the effect was much better than expected.

Moreover, Gonggong also gained something. The Iron Guards she managed would establish emotional connections with the players, so that they could indirectly embrace Fang Cheng and provide themselves with some protection.

After all, what the Iron Guards are about to face are dangerous and unknown beings in the universe. With Fang Cheng here, there is a high probability that they don’t have to worry about anything.

Fang Cheng, on the other hand, tested his game level in a small area and felt quite satisfied.

However, as the number of people increases, unpredictable things will increase. When the time comes, there will be a bunch of enemies again, and there will be new troubles.

Fang Cheng let out a long sigh and then laughed again.

He can control almost everything, but this kind of unexpected human reaction still makes him feel quite interesting.

It's actually quite interesting that my Taoist heart should be in the game.

After getting up and moving for a while, his cell phone rang, and Xu Qingling's voice appeared on the phone: "Boss, where are you now? We have arrived at the airport."

"I'll come over now."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Cheng picked up his luggage and opened the apartment door.

Behind the door is the airport lobby. The people coming and going didn't seem to see Fang Cheng suddenly appear here, or even realize what happened just now.

After closing the door, the door to the apartment disappeared, and Fang Cheng dragged his suitcase and walked in the direction of Xu Qingling and others.

The other colleagues in the studio have already arrived, but except for Xuan Jing and Xu Qingling, the other employees look like they are mourning their concubines, and they don't have the joy of traveling abroad at all.

This global trip can be regarded as a large-scale collective team building. The members of the studio will travel around the world to see different customs, inspire their own inspiration, and gain more insights.

But for Huang Ping and others, it is a journey that can be done at any time without being able to go to work.

And the kind that requires compensatory time off later.

In addition to the members of the studio, there was another guest.

Seeing Fang Cheng, Gao Tianyun immediately came over and said happily: "Boss Fang, thank you for inviting me to go abroad with you."

"It doesn't matter, just do it. And Prussia is preparing to hold a game exhibition, and we can just participate."

"Yes, our game cabin also needs to be promoted."

After accepting Fangcheng Studio's investment and adding Xuanjing's technical support, Fangcheng Studio's shareholding in the game cabin has exceeded 50%, so Gao Tianyun said there is no problem with our game cabin.

Although this means handing over half of the profits, Gao Tianyun is not interested in money. Letting virtual reality come is his ultimate goal.

And if it only takes 50% to get Fang Cheng to stand on the same front as him, he feels that this deal is too affordable.

In order to achieve this goal, it is worth noting the mere equity.

The Chengdu Experience Center has been so successful recently that it even received a 10-minute exclusive interview on a local TV station in Chengdu.

This success allowed Xu Qingling to see the future of virtual reality, so she decided to promote it again to make the world aware of this new thing.

This time they went to Prussia together. Gao Tianyun followed Xu Qingling's suggestion and spent a huge amount of money to transport ten game cabins in advance, in order to shine at the game exhibition and let the world know that he had created something particularly powerful.

More than ten hours later, the plane landed in Prussia.

Mr. Hoffman, the father of Cayman Company, came to the airport to greet him personally. He stood on the steps beside the road and gave Fang Cheng a big hug.

After getting to know the new employees of Fangcheng Studio, Hoffman learned that Gao Tianyun also brought a virtual reality game cabin to the exhibition, and politely expressed some interest.

Of course, only a little.

As an old man in the gaming industry, he has seen too many whimsical inventions and is used to many things.

The research and development of consoles is a business comparable to the research and development of mobile phones. It involves too much professional knowledge and technical barriers. Hoffman does not believe that a young team can do it.

And this is the legendary virtual reality technology, so its authenticity is even more doubtful.

Although he knew that Gao Tianyun was a very talented young man and his previous holographic 3D technology had surprised him, he still couldn't believe it when it came to virtual reality.

Therefore, he suspected that the other party just made the all-in-one VR machine a little more refined. Then he would just need to show surprise appropriately and give the other party a face.

With this mood in mind, he tried the game cabin after arriving at the hotel. After coming out, he threw away his crutches and rushed into Gao Tianyun's room. He held Gao Tianyun's hand and shouted crazily: "You are a fucking genius! You are a fucking genius." Meow is really a genius!”
