At this moment, within the Taiya Game Company, everyone was busy to the point of going crazy.
The Cultivator World game was not only popular online, but also online.
In just half an hour, the number of paid downloads had exceeded 20 million!
These 20 million paid downloads brought in at least 2 billion yuan in revenue for Xu Taiping's company. Among them, 100,000 sets of the gold collection were sold out within five minutes of the paid downloads.
Even though the game company had already specified that everyone could only buy one copy, 100,000 credits was spent in just five minutes. Just the Golden Book Collection was enough to bring a billion yuan to Xu Taiping.
The company's phones rang one after another. Everyone was busy with the game. Some of them were busy with replenishing their sales, some of them were busy with shipping orders online, and some of them were busy with solving the customers' various problems.
Fortunately, Dugu Jiu and the release time of the game were different from the server, otherwise, the entire game company would have gone crazy.
The game was released today, July 12th, while the game was officially opened on July 15th. The release time was three days apart from the running time, which ensured that most people would enter the game at the same time.
When Lin You Ran took over the golden book board from Xu Tai Ping's hands, Lin You Ran's entire body was enveloped in happiness.
She felt that her life had finally come to an end.
Lin You Ran carefully left the game company with the golden page and returned to her dorm. She took out the game helmet that she had bought a long time ago.
The game helmet was something that practically everyone had now, because VR games were very common, and game helmets were essential to virtual reality games.
Lin You Ran cleaned up the game helmet and then carefully inserted the card into the drive of the game helmet.
After doing all this, Lin You Ran laid down on the bed and put on the helmet on his head.
With a faint mechanical sound, the game helmet began to activate.
Weak currents of electricity were emitted from the helmet, continuously stimulating Lin You Ran's brain and finally connecting with it.
Lin You Ran's eyes lit up as he realized that they were floating in the sky. Beneath her feet was a bottomless abyss, and beside him were people wearing various kinds of clothes made of flowing light.
Lin You Ran looked at the earning money. In front of her, a huge black dragon was roaring.
Countless spells fell from the sky and landed on the Black Dragon's body. The Black Dragon then breathed out mouthfuls of dragon breath, incinerating everyone.
Seeing this scene, Lin You Ran was dumbfounded.
Was this the world of cultivators?!
Right at this moment, the space in front of Lin You Ran suddenly darkened before a resounding voice boomed out.
"Evil Dragon has descended, the people do not live in peace. Young cultivator, please bring your magical equipment, kill the evil dragon and remove the harm for the people!"
As this voice echoed out, a handsome man appeared in front of Lin You Ran.
Hello, my dear player, I am your game assistant, "The World of Cultivators" will be opened at 10 a.m. on July 15th. Now, you can choose your race, appearance, and understand the content of the game in advance. The man said.
Lin You Ran curiously walked up to the man, then raised his hand and touched his face.
"Dear Players, men and women shouldn't be so intimate with each other!" The game assistant revealed a teasing smile.
"So this is the central artificial intelligence?" Lin You Ran asked in surprise.
"To be more accurate, I am the embodiment of a consciousness under the main brain." The game assistant explained.
"Awesome!" Lin You Ran couldn't help but sigh. The assistant in front of him was indeed an intermediate level AI.
"Thank you for your praise. Oh yes, you are a noble player of the Golden Book Collection. Do you need me to customize your title?" the game assistant asked.
"Yes, my title is, Xu Taiping, the president of the official fan club!" Lin You Ran said.
"Looks like you're a fan of our boss." The game assistant said with a smile.
"Yes, can I get this title?" Lin You Ran asked.
"This is related to the reputation of our boss. Please wait a moment, I will contact the outside world …" After a moment of silence, the game assistant said, "We have confirmed with the outside world that you are authorized to use this title with the permission of our boss. Congratulations!"
"Thank you so much!" Lin You Ran said excitedly.
"This is what we should do. Alright, now are you ready to carry out the character construction?" the game assistant asked.
"Alright, let's begin!"
While Lin You Ran was busy creating his character in the game, countless people were chatting with an assistant like Lin You Ran and building their character.
Inside the game company.
In Xu Taiping's office.
Xu Taiping was sitting in a chair, looking at the monitor in front of him.
Wang Xiaosi's voice came from the monitor: "Currently there are two big races in the game, one is a human, one is a non-humankind, dozens of professions, some are hidden professions, some are regional professions, such as the foot basin country's region, there will be a yin yang master, a ninja, a western country, there will be mages, a blood clan …" No matter what occupation it is, there will always be areas where they are strong or weak. From the current data, more than 70% of the people selected are human, 30% are non-human, and 35.21 million of the accounts created by the people have already been completed. Currently, the server has been attacked 42.52 million times, and the majority of the attacks come from Western governments, but the attacks didn't have any effect.
"There are more than 30 million accounts!" It's only been an hour! " Xu Taiping sighed.
"According to our estimates, more than a billion players will enter the game by the time the servers open on July 15th." Wang Xiaosi said.
"Can the server handle it?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Even if tens of billions of players enter, the server will not have any problems." Wang Xiaosi said.
"That's good!" Xu Taiping nodded, "To make this game popular and popular around the world, we need to do a good job with it. What we need to do is to let more than a billion people indulge in this game, reduce other activities, reduce energy consumption, and provide us with a longer time to develop new energy sources!"
"I know, the game is a world that is infinitely close to reality, and it uses the most advanced technology to connect the human brain. If I don't let them wake up, none of them will wake up." Wang Xiaosi said.
Hearing Wang Xiaoshan's words, Xu Taiping's heart skipped a beat.
Did Wang Xiaosi's words mean that if he wanted billions or even billions of people to sleep in the game, he could do it in a matter of minutes?
If that was really the case, then this Wang Xiaosi's power was truly too great!
Xu Taiping could be considered the descendant of Wang Xiaoshan's son, but that was referring to the Wang Xiaosi who had already left Earth. Xu Taiping did not have much time to interact with Wang Xiaosi, so Xu Taiping did not have much trust in him. If this Wang Xiaosi was someone like Russell, then he would be in danger for the rest of the world.
"Anything else you need to know?" Wang Xiaosi asked.
"No more." Xu Taiping shook his head, then stood up and said, "I'll leave first, I'll leave the game to you!"
"Alright!"
Xu Taiping left the game company and returned home. However, just as he got home, he discovered that Song Jia and the others were all sitting on the sofa wearing helmets, as if they were creating a character.
"Russell... Can you assess Wang Xiaosi's abilities? " Xu Taiping sat down on the sofa and asked softly.
"He's a more mature AI than me, and he has already uploaded his data to the internet. That's why, he can freely access any place in this world that has a web. He's equivalent to a god on the internet, and with the current technology of humans, no one can eliminate him. If he wants to, he can instantly destroy humanity." Russell said.
"Destroying humanity in an instant?" Xu Taiping asked in shock, "How is that possible?"
"He can imitate anyone's appearance, voice, and even the information about their eyes and fingerprints. He can imitate anyone's appearance, voice, and even the information about their eyes and pupils, and use that person's identity to give orders. That is to say, if he impersonates himself as the President of Chu Ye, then he can issue the order to attack with a nuclear bomb. Russell said.
"Do you have a way to stop him?" Xu Taiping asked.
"There's no way around it, unless you upload me to the Internet as well. That way, I might be able to fight back." Russell said.
"Then forget it." Xu Taiping shook his head. Compared to Wang Xiaoshang, Xu Taiping did not trust Russell more. Wang Xiaosi had followed Xu Taiping for at least a hundred years. If he wanted to, he would have long since destroyed the world, and would not have waited until now.
Russell was silent, not saying anything.
At that moment, Xu Taiping's phone rang.
It was Liu Hao.
"Boss Xu, I've just received quite a few phone calls, all asking me to look for you." Liu Hao laughed and said.
"Looking for me?" "Who's looking for me?" Xu Taiping asked.
"They are all bosses of some big companies. Some are from our Jiangyuan city, and some are from other places. They all hope to meet you in the near future and have a chat with you. It's best if we can have a meal together." Liu Hao said.
Hearing Liu Hao's words, Xu Taiping smiled and said, "These people really change their attitude fast."
"The market is seeking profit. For these merchants, if you get back on your feet and you gain a greater value, they will come for you like sharks that smell the blood. This is the shopping mall. " Liu Hao said.
"Tell them to scram." Xu Taiping sneered, "When laozi was down and out, laozi thought of laozi as a god of pests. Now laozi wants to get up, laozi thinks of laozi as a god of wealth, f * ck off!"
"Do you want me to pass on my words to them?" Liu Hao asked with a smile.
"The exact words!"
(Ironhand is surnamed Niu, so Ironhand's descendant is called Niu Mo Luo.)
