Chapter 249 From passively receiving cards to dealing cards to others
.
Super Magic Team! Super Magic Team!"
Amid the union of cheers of tens of thousands of people, Arnold, Howard, Charles and others walked out slowly and came to the Central Arena.
"Arnold! I'm optimistic about you! I've put a heavy bet of fifty gold coins on you! Don't let me down!"
"Howard, protect Arnold. As long as Arnold is not in danger of his life, you will win!"
"Dear, stop calling, buy ten bets for me. Oh my God, what a handsome magician, I really love him!"
...
From the noisy stands around, huge sounds came one after another, and the sound waves were still higher and higher, forming a resonance field in the entire arena.
Arnold and others turned around and looked around, and were dizzy by the cheers.
"There are more people coming today, at least 50,000, right?" Charles said with some uncertainty. He was calm and could not help but feel a little excited.
As an engineer, when did he be surrounded by so many audiences and receive cheers from all over the world?
"That's of course! With me, Howard, there are many people coming! Yesterday, we first appeared in the arena, and we lost twelve rounds of opponents in a row. Not only are there many people coming to watch the game, but our game is also being broadcast at this time!" Howard said carelessly.
Arnold was a little uncomfortable with such high profile and beeped softly: "We are like a group of monkeys being visited!"
"Just be monkeys, at least we can make money! Roar!" Howard enjoyed such a warm scene, clenched his fists with his hands, shouting wildly in his back, which triggered even more excited screams around him.
Arnold lowered his head with a wry smile.
Infinite Death Arena, a virtual competitive program that is becoming increasingly famous in both the real world and the virtual world, is attracting attention from all parties at a rapid pace.
The contestants who participate in the competitive field here will be punished severely once they die and will be sentenced to be reduced by one to three levels according to the audience's vote.
You should know that after the game is officially launched, without the super high monster-killing experience value, each level will be extremely painful.
Dropping one to three levels is a very severe punishment.
Every team that comes to the infinite death arena will do their best and do everything they can to achieve the final victory.
The desperate battle, fierce confrontation, and gorgeous magic skills made countless tourists fascinated and addicted to it.
As the virtual world gradually opens up, the boundary between gamers and ordinary tourists is becoming increasingly blurred. Staying in a safe area all day long and traveling through various scenic spots is not necessarily just tourists. Those who kill monsters outside the city are not necessarily players, and players who may be itchy for a while.
This is an open world. A virtual world with various ways of entertainment coexisting.
And the Infinite Death Arena is a new way of playing here: gambling!
Pangu World Management Company has hired professional casino experience from Macau and Las Vegas and opened this virtual casino. Visitors can purchase tickets to enter a total of more than 500 death arenas to watch the exciting death fights of each team on site. They can also place bets on the team they selected.
In reality, global networks, cable TV networks, etc. are also joining forces to broadcast all events. TV viewers can buy gold coins from trading platforms through landlines and mobile phones, and then bet.
As of now, the transaction amount is still insignificant, and the daily gambling funds are no more than one million euros, but its influence is far beyond other gambling methods.
Gamblers all over the world have focused their attention on this emerging gambling project. Such a novel way of gambling that combines ancient Roman life and death competition and gambling has attracted great attention from all walks of life and life.
Although it is called Death Race, it will not really kill people after all. Although some moralists are dissatisfied with it, they have no way to blame them.
On the contrary, the spectators and gamblers expressed their opinions: in order to make the death competition more exciting, they hope to increase the punishment. Since players participating in the death competition can share the profits from the gambling funds, once they fail, they should be punished more severely. It is best to whitewash their levels!
Let them become newcomers with nothing in the virtual world, this is the veritable "death competition"!
The inherent gambler mentality, cruelty and stimulation nature of human beings, are also brought into the virtual world as always.
After discussion, Pangu World Management Company also made changes to the rules.
Players and teams participating in the Deathmatch can choose competitions with different punishment levels on their own, and can be exhibition matches and practice matches without any punishment. Of course, in this case, without any danger, players can only get a meager income.
And the most serious thing is the top competition with level whitewashing!
In this kind of competition, the gamblers are the most excited and bet the most, and each game has more than tens of thousands of euros of gambling. The winner will also get 30% of the gains. As the saying goes, the greater the risk, the greater the gains.
In the virtual world, a group of professional players who have made a living by participating in virtual events have appeared.
When their level is knocked down, they level up wildly in order to re-train the level in the shortest time.
They will also conduct rigorous training, and the movements and cooperation between the team members will be discussed repeatedly and carefully, and will conduct thousands of hard rehearsals.
The Death Athletics competition is very exciting and terrifying.
Half is flame, half is sea water.
Success and death may be due to a meager mistake. Such a competition makes all the contestants dare not slacke in the slightest. Their wonderful performances make the audience excited, shouting wildly, and get a great sense of spiritual pleasure. Here, they can vent all their life in the real world.
Frustrated and enjoy the highest level of fun.
The live broadcast of the Internet and TV has expanded the scope of the impact of the Death Arena crazily expanded.
Countless people are involved, and every day when they return home with their tired bodies, they wear virtual video glasses and throw themselves into the fiery competitive competition. They are among tens of thousands of spectators. They shout, cheer and curse with them.
Some gambling tycoons also contacted them and asked to enter the virtual world to open a casino.
Regarding their requirements, the management company reviewed their business qualifications and opened the door to them.
The cake needs to be made bigger and bigger, so that everyone can get more and more money.
Various professional casinos are established in the virtual world. Each casino also brings their customers into the Pangu world and becomes residents who reside here.
Tickets, betting, travel, casino authorization fees, and gold coins flowed into Pangu World Management Company, making the company's shareholders laugh.
Game revenue has become a small head, but it has become a promotional point to support this virtual world.
The company distributes hundreds of millions of gold coins every day, but on the trading platform, the price of gold coins remains high, and buyers are growing at an incredible rate every day. The amount of gold coins that experts from the Ministry of Economic Affairs predicted yesterday will become a past tense the next day and will be pushed to recalculation.
They dare not distribute too much gold coins to avoid inflation in the virtual world and harming the interests of players.
But they don’t want to issue too few gold coins, which is not enough for players to use, and it will also make the company less money.
The country sent, European companies hired places. Even the EU intervened, and senior economists formed the Pangu World Finance Department to manage the virtual world currency flow.
Universal is making money, European companies are making money, China is making money, and the home countries where these companies in Britain, France, Germany and the Netherlands are also making money, and everyone is making a lot of money. They are very happy.
The management company's members have expanded, and Universal Corporation, four European companies, China, Britain, France, Germany, and the Netherlands each occupy a management committee quota.
But in fact, Xiao Qiang is the real controller behind the scenes.
The operation of virtual schools’ online teaching methods has inspired everyone’s ideas.
The Maryland State Primary School was successful and quickly attracted a tide of applications from all over the world. Several core companies such as Universal Corporation held a management committee meeting with China, Britain, France, Germany and the Netherlands, and urgently established an education management office. It reviewed virtual education applications around the world and issued qualification certificates.
Elementary schools, middle schools, universities, one famous school after another, gaining a foothold in the virtual world.
Universities were surprised to find that they could also do experiments in virtual schools as they did in reality. They only had to pay a certain amount of money to Universal Corporation to rent or buy a virtual laboratory, from physics to chemistry and medicine, everything from physics to chemistry and medicine.
The equipment has everything from low to high-end, and is configured according to the price.
However, there are no super high-precision experimental equipment.
According to Universal, such high-precision equipment cannot be simulated through software, and I don’t know whether it is true or false. But all schools are already very satisfied.
The university only explains the principles to students, not to conduct advanced and in-depth research.
With virtual laboratories, schools can move most experimental classes into the virtual world. Especially some dangerous experimental classes, there is no need to worry about hurting people in the virtual world, and it can also make students realize the dangers of these experiments and increase their caution in operation in reality.
The content of games, tourism, education, and virtual worlds is constantly enriching, which also stimulates the further development of global networks.
In economically developed regions such as Europe, the United States, Japan, and other economically developed regions, the household ownership rate of global networks has reached about 98% in a new wave of expansion. In high-welfare countries such as Nordic countries, the online household registration rate has reached an astonishing 100%. With the vigorous promotion of Universal Corporation, China has also laid comprehensive network coverage from cities to villages to the best of its ability. Through various preferential measures, China's family network ownership rate has exceeded 66%.
The further development of the Internet has returned, allowing more people to enter the virtual world.
The materials for the actual test of Wang Gong's space flight have been supplied long ago, and Xiao Qiang has been making every effort to increase the host equipment of the virtual network. The newly built supercomputers are almost all invested in the virtual world, but the speed of the increase in the host is still far from keeping up with the growth of the user base.
There are nearly 40 million people in the virtual world every day, and they are leisurely in it, but there are still tens of millions of users who are regretfully rejected - the host is really overwhelmed!
This wave of communication and happiness grew, and it was not until 2004 that a turning point occurred.
The new data diversion algorithm finally passed the final test. The software department and computer department of Universal Company completely replaced the host program. The new program has increased the software efficiency by seven times, and the virtual world capacity has increased to 200 million at once.
For people around the world, from 2002 to 2004, it was the most exciting two years in their life memories.
The virtual world emerged from nowhere, and their horizons suddenly became more colorful.
Virtual world cinema, a new way of leisure and entertainment.
Between the ethereal mountains and fields, with the clear mountain streams as the background, the cinema is like an open-air movie, allowing movie fans to enjoy the fun of the movie.
The news production software provided by Universal Company has become the favorite of news practitioners around the world.
The rich three-dimensional news database allows major media to spend only two or three hours to determine the news materials, determine the process of the news occurrence, and click on the corresponding props. This can build a news scene. In the virtual world, it can be rendered through the powerful processing power of supercomputers to form a very real one.
territory.
When readers read news, they only need to click on the title to enter the simulated virtual news scene, watch the entire process at that time, and learn more intuitively what happened at that time.
Of course, if the media doesn’t want to be so cumbersome, it’s also OK to use videos and pictures directly.
Citizens in the virtual world can surf the Internet, watch news, TV, play laser video discs, etc. without quitting the virtual world. It is like being in an all-encompassing real world.
The virtual world is truly in line with the word "world".
On January 1, 2004, the Pangu world users were anxiously waiting for a day, and finally waited until the expansion of the virtual world of Universal Company was completed. From the original 50 million users online, it jumped to the ability to accommodate 300 million users online at the same time.
After they entered the virtual world, they immediately received a news that this year's Eurasian Film Awards Ceremony will be held in the virtual world, and will be broadcast live to TV viewers around the world through videos.
At that time, more than 100 famous singers from all over the world will be invited to perform a wonderful party on the same stage, and all audiences will be invited to watch it on the spot.
This is the first time for a virtual world live concert!
Excited people have purchased the latest high-fidelity virtual equipment.
Universal has launched the cheaper standard version, and virtual helmets very considerately.
The standard version does not need to replace the virtual three-dimensional glasses that we originally bought, but only a surround voice coil is launched.
This is a hard-shell hood made of non-irritating biological material, shaped like the helmet of an Imperial soldier in Star Wars. The hood is very light and does not feel heavy when worn on the head.
At the two ears, make a ear sleeve slightly larger than the auricle and cover the ears.
The inner part of the hood is hollow, and a total of ten small high-quality speakers are placed along the front, back, left and right, up and down, and there are two subwoofers on both cheeks.
Users still use virtual three-dimensional glasses as viewing devices, but they come from speakers at different positions in the hood, forming a 360-degree surround sound field, allowing users to experience extremely high-quality sound effects. Whether watching three-dimensional movies or listening to music, they are very good music playback devices.
The helmet completely abandons the original virtual three-dimensional glasses.
The eyes are still isolated from each other, and two slightly different images are used to form a three-dimensional three-dimensional effect. However, the visible area is larger, the effect is clearer, the colors are more realistic, and the dynamic reaction is faster.
Wearing a virtual helmet feels more realistic and comfortable than virtual three-dimensional glasses.
The quality of speakers that build a 360-degree sound field is all specially selected and refined, with a very high signal-to-noise ratio, which is completely professional, and is not inferior to a high-end audio set of hundreds of thousands of euros.
Of course, it is also extremely expensive, with a price of up to 200,000 euros.
In addition, Universal has also launched a luxury version of virtual equipment, which is a set of large equipment that requires a room to accommodate, and needs to be customized by users.
The luxury version of the virtual device looks like a room, with a door as well.
After opening the door, there is a concave soft mold in the human body, made of super soft biological material, and its size compares to the actual test data of the user. The entire soft mold is extremely thin, just like a layer of membrane, soaked in a hydraulic device to form a sense of touch with different pressures.
Users only need to enter the soft mode and can manipulate virtual characters with almost practical actions.
With a slight action, the pressure given by the soft film to the liquid will be fed back to the four-wall induction device and received by it. This will make the action.
The entire set of equipment is very comfortable, especially its large 360-degree field of view, which gives users a very high virtual enjoyment. The liquid can be heated to form the same body temperature effect as the human body. To be honest, if users want to enjoy virtual sex in it, they can be achieved - it is generated by the hydraulic device giving a certain stimulation to the user's sexy parts.
More comfortable than inflatable dolls.
Even if it is not used as a sex tool, it is a good choice for massage.
Users only need to remember to disinfect and clean the equipment at any time: Universal Company is not responsible for infection due to improper use.
This set of equipment is as high as 500,000 euros!
These three new virtual devices were sold frantically as soon as they were launched.
Needless to say, the surround audio hood can be spent less money and enjoy three-dimensional audio effects. With virtual video glasses, it is of course welcome. Not only are users preparing to watch the Eurasian Film Awards Ceremony to buy in large quantities, but ordinary users also took off the earbuds of the original virtual video and replaced them with a more advanced surround audio hood.
What's strange is that the sales volume of virtual helmets is not as high as the sales volume of the luxury version.
There are so many rich people in this world. After comparing, they thought it would be more cost-effective to buy a set of luxury virtual equipment by 300,000 euros. A rich man even chatted with his friend in a virtual world restaurant and said with a joke: "This luxury version is so cool, and he feels like he is going back to the beginning. He soaked in amniotic fluid. After I used it, I even went to find a lady in the virtual world: safe and comfortable!"
After so many years of development, Eurasia Film Company has attracted outstanding film and television talents from all over the world. The films it has been filming are constantly excellent.
There are both domestic films shot by members of the alliance and large-scale production films. Especially after the launch of Pangu World, the large-scale magical and war films produced gathered a large number of extras to produce super-real films, giving the audience a stimulating sensory enjoyment and being enthusiastically sought after by audiences all over the world.
Eurasia Pictures has long surpassed Hollywood, and it is a holy place in the hearts of movie fans!
On the day of the awards ceremony, its grand scenes, gorgeous and charming fireworks, mysterious lights, dazzling stars, and countless special effects made audiences all over the world feast their eyes.
Audiences entering the virtual awards ceremony can use the dual screens of virtual devices
While watching the live award ceremony, the award-winning area is excellent and enjoyable.
The bigger surprise is still behind. After the party, when the singers performed together, the fans were surprised to find that the singers sang and danced, not only with charming singing but also with moving dance postures and ever-changing stage scenes, which made them feel happy.
These singers can show their moving dance postures, and also lies in the full-body dynamic data collection device launched by Universal.
Singers can change their clothes in an instant during a performance (it is virtual anyway), and dance movingly on the lawn, streams, and peaks. The performance effect is far beyond reality.
The audience who came to watch the scene praised the unprecedented grand occasion of the awards ceremony and thought the money was worth spending.
However, they didn’t know that the audience came to the scene in this award ceremony!
Under multi-time and space technology, the audience can only see thousands of people around them. In fact, there are dozens of groups of audiences at the same coordinate point as them.
Those rich people can also get special boxes: right on the stage!
Through the movie stars and singers' vision, these special audiences who are close to them feel that their idols seem to be watching him alone, making them happy.
As for whether they will over-involve their sexual intercourse, it is not Xiao Qiang's consideration.
For several days, major media around the world were filled with unprecedented reports on this award ceremony. Media people praised this party with all kinds of praise and lamented that they were at the right time and were so honored to be able to witness such a grand occasion.
The era of technology, the era of progress!
People all over the world are excited by it and hear good news every day. Good news gives people a good mood, and good mood gives people hope. People feel that the world is so beautiful.
The economy is more of a confidence economy, a kind of confidence in future expectations.
The virtual world has enabled more people around the world to find job opportunities and bring them more income. After only more than two years of development, the virtual world's economic scale has exceeded 100 billion euros, and with a non-governmental organization, it has ranked among the top 20 countries in the world's national income.
In less than a month, another shocking news came again: the virtual world will open a virtual store.
After two years of lobbying preparations, China's large shopping malls opened virtual stores in the virtual world at the same time in March to open business.
Super large-scale stores, countless products are placed in front of users.
Users can watch at will, observe product introduction, quality, and appearance, and ask the sales lady to demonstrate on-site. After selecting, use virtual gold coins to trade on the trading platform and deliver the goods to the mall.
There were online transactions in the past, but how could it be compared to such intuitive and close observations in the virtual world?
Through virtual stores, users can choose their favorite products from each store just like shopping in the real world.
It is also a great blessing for male compatriots. When accompanying his wife and girlfriend shopping, he finally didn't have to walk with his feet, and was so tired that he was panting like a dead dog.
Moreover, through the trading platform, Pangu World Management Company will protect the interests of users to the greatest extent. The gold coins paid by users are temporarily stored on the trading platform before the user confirms receipt. During the delivery time of the mall, the user has not received the goods and can file a complaint and request the cancellation of the transaction.
Since there are no border restrictions in the virtual world, all citizens of the virtual world can travel to and from various cities at will.
As long as the mall can deliver goods, virtual stores of major domestic shopping malls and electrical appliance stores appear. Tourists from all over the world also enter these stores with great enthusiasm when they are traveling in the virtual world and select the goods they need.
The large-scale retail industry in China has gained amazing benefits.
A stone caused a thousand waves, and the application for opening a virtual store in the virtual world was overwhelming like snowflakes.
Those large stores with distribution centers around the world are even more happy.
Renting a virtual world store is much cheaper than in the real world!
Moreover, the virtual environment can be replaced at will, and you only need to customize the appearance to the management committee. Even if you change the appearance of the store countless times within a day, it doesn’t matter: just pay for it!
They can choose from postmodern, antique, or traditional appearance at will.
The internal counter can be decorated with different store environments according to different products. A counter is an independent space, which can also give users a noble-style enjoyment.
The virtual world is rapidly moving towards a comprehensive virtual society that integrates finance, entertainment, education and shopping.
Millions of people, in this world, have found jobs and survived.
The recession caused by the US economic shock has quickly turned into prosperity. There are huge revenues brought by emerging industries, and there are people who benefit from the virtual world. Everyone is full of confidence.
The future will surely be even better!
Xiao Qiang used Pangu World as a carrier to open an independent stall in the world economy, a big casino.
In the past, he could only play one hand in this bet and one bet on the other side. Every time he would passively accept other dealers dealing cards to him, and then rack his brains to win with cards that cannot be replaced in his hands. Occasionally, he could sneak a change of cards while the dealers were not paying attention.
And now, he finally started a bet by himself, acting as a dealer and playing cards.
Chapter completed!
