Chapter 600: Land reclamation artifact and special progress rewards

Not only Director Conrad felt incredible, but everyone in the Federal Cybersecurity Agency conference room looked at the person who proposed this idea in amazement.

I wonder how he got into this conference room.

Everyone looked at him like he was a fool, but the person who made the suggestion spread his hands without changing his expression and said, "What if?"

The director said angrily: "Then after the meeting is over, you can try sending him an email."

"Now, let's get back to the point."

Conrad skipped this unrealistic topic and continued: "As for how to deal with Yunmeng's expanding influence, there are three main issues:

First, support domestic scientific research centers to develop virtual reality technology, achieve technological independence as soon as possible, and build our own virtual world.

Second, discuss whether tax, legal, and administrative measures can be used to slow down the expansion of Yunmeng's influence in Germany, and explore the possible impact of these measures.

Third, if it is impossible to fight and achieve technological breakthroughs, should we recommend that the upper management completely change their attitude towards Yunmeng, bet first, and embrace the virtual world?"

His words surprised everyone.

Especially the third issue.

Many people have already thought of the first two, but embracing the virtual world?

"Bet first?" Deputy Ernst didn't understand how this could be done.

The director then explained: "Previously, Lin You took an airship and flew over Xia Jing in reality. At the same time, users in the virtual world also flew over a virtual Xia Jing. The founder of Kribri Game Company, Bu

Mr. Li also confirmed this, and Yunmeng’s senior management took him to visit the virtual Xia Jing which is still under construction.”

Director Conrad paused for a moment before continuing: "So if necessary, we can invite Yunmeng to build a [Virtual Berlin]."

This idea obviously far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Fortunately, he quickly changed the subject and said: "Of course, this is definitely not something we are willing to do, but it should be considered as a possibility."

"If there is hope, we certainly hope that our own citizens will build such a virtual capital city."

"Is it really necessary to go to this point?" Ernst was puzzled.

"Isn't the virtual world just a place for leisure and entertainment? As long as we find a way to limit the duration of use by citizens, we can greatly weaken their influence, right?"

Conrad shook his head, "You have to take a longer view."

"At the beginning of the great voyage, it was also a money-losing thing. In recent years, all countries in the world who have the ability have made great efforts in exploration in the aerospace field. This is also very expensive and there is no short-term benefit."

"But now, no one doubts the importance of these two."

"In this case, it is also the exploration and development of a new world, why do you despise the virtual world so much?"

Looking at Conrad's serious expression, Ernst lowered his head in admiration. He was both surprised by the director's forward-looking vision and shocked by the weight of the virtual world in the director's heart.

'Is the virtual world actually a great undertaking that can be compared with [Great Navigation] and [Exploration of the Universe]?'

This idea almost instantly overturned all his impressions of the virtual world!

If exploring the universe is the beginning of the "cosmic voyage", then virtual reality games are probably...

The beginning of the “virtual voyage”?

In this way, he also understood why Director Conrad said: as a last resort, even if it is to cooperate with Yunmeng, he must participate in the construction of the virtual world.

Because no matter what kind of big voyage it is, you are required to be able to build a ship first.

If you really can't build it, then getting the initial ticket as soon as possible is always the most important thing.

But the bad news is: now all the tickets are in the hands of one person.

And this person didn't seem to be planning to sell tickets.

This is the reason why Director Conrad convened this meeting specifically.

Not only Ernst, but also everyone else in the conference room quickly thought of this.

But just understanding the reasons is not enough. Finding solutions is the goal, and this step gives them a huge headache.

…

…

When everyone from the Cybersecurity Bureau was discussing countermeasures in the conference room, it was already evening in the summer time.

The anchors who started broadcasting in the afternoon are still fighting fiercely in the game and have no intention of going offline to sleep.

For players who only entered the game at night, their journey to open up the wasteland went much more smoothly because there were people ahead of them to clear the way.

The most obvious example is——

A large number of players simply ignored the temptation of [Survival Challenge], abandoned expert mode, and started the game on normal difficulty.

Now on Daxia’s social networks, [Survival Challenge] has been completely classified into [Lin You’s Malice].

Whenever a new person mentions [Survival Challenge], many netizens will remind him:

"If you think about it clearly, is it easy to take advantage of Lin You's advantage?"

"Haven't you seen through him yet?!"

"Before, I naively thought that this game was either very scary or very difficult. But after entering the game, I found out: I was wrong, this game is not only scary, but also very difficult! Expert difficulty level is really inhumane

For play!"

…

A large number of players were persuaded to quit and chose the easier normal mode to start the game.

Of course, there are definitely players who are confident in themselves and insist on giving it a try.

Their thinking is also very clear: "Since there are fewer people participating in the [Survival Challenge], doesn't it mean that I have a greater chance of winning the prize?"

So I created an expert difficulty character without any hesitation and rushed into the game world.

Even if these people are abused by the game, they still seek mercy and get mercy. There is nothing to say.

But the other group of people who were deceived into the game are very sympathetic.

*

The cause of the matter can be traced back to an unexpected discovery made by Cangdiao a few hours ago.

Yes, Cangdori is back to challenge the fastest level of "Terraria".

He is called the "Passenger's Great God" by players, and his reputation is definitely not in vain.

Although his reputation in the past was entirely based on shooting games on the VR platform, since Yunmeng was born, he first switched to the virtual reality platform and played one game after another, still stabilizing his reputation as a "passer-by"

This is a very rare title.

You must know that many former "technical anchors" slowly "falled off the altar" after switching to virtual reality games and had to transform into "entertainment anchors".

Cangniao has this ability, so he naturally took advantage of the situation and gained a lot of attention.

However, he was not a professional streamer before - he considered himself a professional gamer, and his live broadcast was just to record progress and prove his strength.

Therefore, I have never signed a high-level contract with a live broadcast platform.

Later, after the Yunmeng live broadcast platform appeared, he switched platforms and seized the opportunity, and the traffic surged again.

Today "Terriaria" was launched, and naturally he was the first to come in and experience it.

After all, every time Yunmeng releases a new game and he rushes into it desperately to compete for the "first pass of the game", a large number of viewers will gather.

During this period, his live broadcast room traffic was even comparable to that of the best anchors.

Moreover, he is one of the few players who has not lowered the difficulty and always insists on using expert mode to open up wasteland.

He did this not because he was stubborn, but because it happened for a reason——

So many people come to watch his live broadcast, isn’t it just to watch the most difficult level of land reclamation?

Otherwise, there are anchors everywhere, and all of them are better at doing the job than him, so why do you have to watch him?

"Besides, let's do a rational analysis." After Cangdiao got a musket, he spent money to buy bullets while doing analysis for the audience.

——This [Wounding Fire Gun] (ranged damage 34) was a weapon dropped by him after he blew up a Shadow Bead when he ventured deep into the depths of the Corrupted Land and synthesized the item [Suspicious Eyeball] to summon the BOSS.

The exaggerated damage figures stunned Cangniao, and he immediately felt that he had obtained a "land reclamation artifact".

The only problem was: the musket needed bullets, and the 100 bullets dropped along with the gun were completely insufficient, he felt.

Because this thing is completely different from the muskets in the 18th century that could be fired every ten seconds.

As soon as the bullet is put into the [ammo slot], it just goes bang bang bang without thinking, and there is no need to reload at all.

But because of this, the bullet consumption rate is ridiculously fast.

Fortunately, after returning home, he found that there was an arms dealer at home, selling bullets directly for 7 copper coins a round.

Unfortunately, he was very unlucky and never found any iron ore. He just bought an anvil for 50 silver coins and emptied his wallet.

Now I can only kill monsters and earn money honestly.

By the way, I told the audience my guess:

"Look, in the [Survival Challenge], in addition to the rewards for surviving the longest, there are also [special progress rewards]."

"What is progress, friends? Isn't that the BOSS!"

"But now many people have defeated the first BOSS. Why doesn't anyone get this reward?"

"I think the most likely possibility is that this BOSS must be killed in expert mode to trigger the [Special Progress Reward]."

"And now that we have the artifact in hand, isn't this reward within reach?"

Seeing that he had accumulated 7 silver coins in his bag, he decisively stopped and went to buy bullets.

"200 is enough for shooting accurately."

Now is the time to race against time. Cangniao quickly climbed onto the wooden platform that had been set up in the air and used [Suspicious Eyeball] to summon the BOSS [Eye of Cthulhu].

Take a deep breath and start your third challenge.
Chapter completed!
