Xia Country time, June 19th, 12: 47 AM.
The high-end players on Dream Entertainment's official player forum, especially the overseas high-end players, were in an uproar. The customer service center's phone number exceeded 10,000 in a short period of time.
Fortunately, Dream Entertainment's customer service center provided 24-hour service. However, all the customer service calls were answered by a pseudo-artificial intelligence system called Izur.
Dream Entertainment was known as an 'overseas company' because Dream Entertainment's announcements were usually made after midnight in the morning while overseas announcements were usually made during the day.
This time, the news released by a 'mysterious insider in the game' coincided with the 'overseas time'. The overseas players were in a frenzy while most of the players in the 'Xia Xia' region were already asleep.
A large number of overseas players jointly requested Dream Entertainment to answer questions regarding the virtual gaming helmet.
However, Dream Entertainment's officials didn't know about this. Only Shi Lei knew about this.
Dong Guoguo knew about this, but he wasn't a member of Dream Entertainment. He was solely responsible for the Lin 'an underground base. Why would he care about Dream Entertainment?
As the deputy general manager of Dream Entertainment, Xie Hui had long since gotten used to strange news that suddenly popped up on the internet.
Xie Hui wanted to know more about the Virtual Gaming Helmet, just like the other players.
Since Xie Hui didn't know about the situation, Dream Entertainment could only ignore the overseas players' requests.
It was early in the morning in the 'Xia Xia' region. Dream Entertainment's employees were off work. It was reasonable for them to ignore the overseas players' requests.
Izur reported the situation in the customer service center to Shi Lei. "Sir, the customer service center has received a large number of inquiries regarding the virtual gaming helmet. The system can't answer them. Please provide a solution."
Even with an advanced pseudo-artificial intelligence system, Izur didn't have the ability to solve problems independently.
Izur couldn't learn how to solve problems that hadn't appeared in the database before.
"Ignore them!" Shi Lei didn't plan to answer the overseas players' questions in the middle of the night.
In less than an hour, the topic of Dream Entertainment's virtual gaming helmet hadn't fermented enough. It needed more time.
Especially in the Xia Xia region, the topic of virtual gaming helmets had not become a hot topic yet!
In Dream Entertainment's official player forum, Super Tycoon Storm applied for a temporary voice communication channel from the main system. This was a new function of the official player forum. It allowed players to communicate faster through voice communication.
Super Tycoon Storm had applied for a temporary voice communication channel. His main purpose was to unite the heavyweight players and pressure Dream Entertainment together.
Most of the super players in Lijian Province had joined Storm's live chat channel.
The super players from the European region also chose to join in. About 50 super players had gathered on both sides.
In the voice communication channel, Storm expressed his opinion as the leader. "Dear players, what do you think about the information revealed by the 'mysterious game insider'?
Is Dream Entertainment really developing virtual gaming helmets? "
Lijian Province's super player, Blue Ocean, was also a world-class hacker in the hacker world. He knew more about the information on the Internet.
"I think this piece of information is different from what we expected," Blue Ocean said.
Blue Ocean voiced his opinion. "Perhaps the virtual gaming helmet described by the 'mysterious gaming insider' isn't the kind of gaming helmet that uses brainwaves to control the game and direct the image into the mind."
That kind of virtual gaming helmet that only existed in science fiction was the dream of all otakus. It had always been haunted by otakus.
That kind of sci-fi virtual gaming helmet required too much technology. It was impossible to develop it in a short period of time.
Another super player from Lijian Province, the Priest of Holy Light, also expressed his opinion. "I agree with Blue Ocean's opinion. Perhaps we've misunderstood it!"
A super player from the European region questioned, "Why didn't Dream Entertainment come out and give us an answer?
Are they hiding something? "
Blue Ocean replied, "Pay attention to the time!
Although Dream Entertainment is ridiculed by the Xia Xia players as an overseas company, Dream Entertainment's headquarters is in Shuangqing City. It should be around midnight on June 19th in Shuangqing City. "
After Blue Ocean's reminder, the overseas players came to a realization.
It wasn't only the Xia Xia players who ridiculed Dream Entertainment as an overseas company. Even the overseas players were used to Dream Entertainment dealing with their problems according to their schedule.
This was also due to the existence of Izur, who dealt with the players' problems twenty-four hours a day. There was no concept of regional time differences.
"Then what should we do?" A super player from Great Britain asked.
Super Tycoon Storm said, "Dream Entertainment's working hours are nine o 'clock in the morning, which corresponds to nine o' clock in the evening in Lijian Province.
The players from Lijian Province can form a group at nine o 'clock in the evening to ask Dream Entertainment for a specific answer. "
Storm was a loyal customer of Dream Entertainment. He was also close to the CEO of Dream Entertainment, Shi Lei.
Storm thought that if he asked, Shi Lei would probably answer him.
With regards to Super Tycoon Storm's suggestion, the players from other regions agreed. Under the leadership of the super players from various countries, the large number of overseas players stopped making a ruckus and waited for Dream Entertainment to give an accurate answer at 9 AM on the 19th of June in Huaxia time.
After Shi Lei instructed Izur to pay attention to the official player forum, he lay on his bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Shi Lei didn't like to stay up late unless it was necessary. Shi Lei rarely stayed up late.
The night passed in silence.
On June 19th, around eight o 'clock in the morning, Shi Lei woke up early, which was rare.
After waking up, Shi Lei calmly heated up the braised food from last night in the microwave oven. Then, he boiled some water and cooked a packet of instant noodles, which he mixed with the braised food for breakfast.
Among all the billionaires in the world, only Shi Lei's breakfast was so depressing!
Shi Lei's noodles were edible. It wasn't like Lingyumo's cooking, which was poisonous.
Just as he finished his breakfast, his phone rang. The caller ID showed that it was Xie Hui.
Xie Hui hadn't arrived at the company yet, but his phone was already exploding with calls from the company's intelligence department.
A large number of Xia Dream players who woke up early found out about yesterday's news. They all called Dream Entertainment to ask about the real situation.
Dream Entertainment didn't know the real situation of the virtual gaming helmet. They could only report it to their superiors and find Xie Hui. Xie Hui could only contact Shi Lei.
Shi Lei pressed the answer button, and Xie Hui immediately started talking. Finally, he said, "Director Shi, that virtual gaming helmet, could it be real?"
"Of course it's fake!"
Shi Lei replied bluntly. "With the current technology, how could it be possible to create that kind of interactive virtual gaming helmet?
Those players really dared to dream! "
Shi Lei couldn't help but be impressed. The players' ideas were really beautiful!
Dream Entertainment's ultimate goal was to create a virtual gaming helmet that was directly controlled by the nerves. Dream Entertainment would do its best to develop that kind of online game.
But now, the technology hadn't reached that level yet. Dream Entertainment could only take one step at a time.
Xie Hui heaved a sigh of relief. It didn't seem to be a virtual gaming helmet, which made Xie Hui feel inexplicably relieved.
"Mr. Shi, should we make a clarification announcement on the official website?" Xie Hui asked.
Shi Lei snorted softly. "Although our company doesn't have that kind of Holographic Virtual Gaming Helmet, we are indeed developing Virtual Gaming Helmets. It's just that the degree of simulation is not at the level of science fiction!" Shi Lei said with a smile.
"Huh?" Xie Hui was speechless. "Mr. Shi, what do you mean?"
"You don't have to worry about this. I'll handle it myself!"
It was rare for Shi Lei to say that he wanted to handle the company's affairs personally. This moved Xie Hui to tears.
Xie Hui hurriedly said, "Okay, Mr. Shi. I won't disturb you any further!"
Xie Hui hurriedly hung up the phone, afraid that Shi Lei would change his mind. Compared to dealing with this kind of troublesome matter, Xie Hui preferred to talk about love with his secretary, Qin Huini.
Shi Lei shook his head helplessly. He personally entered the backend of Dream Entertainment's official website's web server and updated the server with an announcement.
…
"Announcement regarding the virtual gaming helmet!"
Dream Entertainment stated that the company was indeed developing a virtual gaming helmet, but it wasn't the virtual gaming helmet that most players imagined. It was a head-mounted display device.
Dream Entertainment was currently developing a helmet-like display device. It would provide players with a closed-off display effect, creating a 360-degree display device with no blind spots. It would truly be eye-catching, which would be the first-person view of the Hero's World.
The company named the product of this research project 'VR Gaming Helmet'. Currently, the prototype has been completed and is preparing for testing.
Once the testing passes, the company will determine the official release date of the VR Gaming Helmet based on factors such as cost and production capacity.
Thank you for supporting the company.
Thank you, everyone!

After Shi Lei posted the announcement on Dream Entertainment's official website, he pondered over a problem.
