June 24th, 10 PM.
Shi Lei sat in Xie Hui's office, commanding Dream Entertainment's employees to prepare for any emergency that might occur in the World of the Brave.
Mu Shuang and Lingyumo had already returned to Sunshine Garden.
Shi Lei spent the afternoon and evening with the two girls until 9 PM. Shi Lei persuaded the two girls to go back and rest with the reason that the girls did not get enough sleep and their skin would deteriorate.
Xie Hui walked in from outside the office and sat across from Shi Lei. He took the initiative to report, "Director Shi, all the employees have entered the World of the Brave and are awaiting orders!"
Shi Lei nodded. The employees of Dream Entertainment had entered the World of the Brave as a precaution.
Although Izur was an advanced pseudo-artificial intelligence system, when the first Martial Arts Tournament began in the World of the Brave, it was hard to guarantee that there would not be any problems that Izur could not solve.
At that time, a human manager would be needed.
After the employees of Dream Entertainment entered the World of the Brave, they did not have management rights.
Their management rights were all temporarily granted.
Only when Izur detected an unsolvable problem would it give a human manager temporary management rights.
"Wait patiently!" After Shi Lei finished speaking, he lay on the leather sofa without any care for his image and closed his eyes to rest.
Shuangqing City, Shuangqing TV Station.
Although it was close to midnight, Shuangqing TV Station was still brightly lit because they had the right to broadcast the World of the Brave. They could broadcast the first Martial Arts Tournament at will.
Since the Hero's World of Heroes' first Martial Arts Tournament started at midnight, it would continue until the end of the ten rounds.
According to Dream Entertainment's official prediction, the ten rounds of matches would take an entire night.
Therefore, Shuangqing TV Station would broadcast the situation in the World of the Brave all night.
Although the players of Xia Xia protested about the all-night competition, Dream Entertainment ignored them. This caused many players of Xia Xia to complain.
However, Dream Entertainment was always so aloof and did not care about the players' protests.
Moreover, Dream Entertainment's award ceremony would be held in the Xia Xia region, so the overseas players had to be there in person.
The first night of the competition could be considered a balancing act.
This time, the host for the opening ceremony of the Hero World's first Martial Arts Tournament was Shi Lei's old acquaintance, Shuangqing TV Station's famous gold medal host, Hu Ke.
"Attention, everyone. The live broadcast will officially begin in 30 seconds!" The middle-aged man standing at the side said.
This middle-aged man was Xu Bo, the deputy director of Shuangqing TV Station. He was one of the most powerful figures in Shuangqing TV Station.
The staff at the scene got to work quickly. 30 seconds later, Shuangqing TV started broadcasting information about the World of the Brave to the audience in Shuangqing City.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Hu Ke.
I'm very happy to bring you a piece of good news in the middle of the night. Dream Entertainment's online entertainment game, World of Heroes, will officially start the first Martial Arts Tournament at midnight tonight, "Hu Ke briefly introduced the situation.
At this time, it was usually time for TV dramas. Only the young players were waiting to watch TV.
There were also some unemployed youths who called their families to watch the news from Shuangqing TV Station. They were prepared to use Shuangqing TV Station's report to convince their families to let them become professional gamers.
"The prize money for the first Martial Arts Tournament in the World of the Brave is very high. The first place winner, 'Number One Under Heaven,' will receive three million USD from Dream Entertainment. That's more than twenty-four million USD in Xia Xia yuan!"
Hu Ke said excitedly. "It's just a game competition, yet the prize money is so high. If it weren't for the fact that I don't know how to play games, I would definitely give it a try!" After saying that, Hu Ke laughed.
In front of the TV, many players clenched their fists. Three million USD was an astronomical sum for the people of the Xia Xia region. Most people would never be able to earn that amount in their entire lives.
"In addition to the generous prize money, World of the Brave will also bring a lot of popularity to the players!"
Hu Ke revealed a mischievous smile like a young girl and continued, "That's because, other than our Shuangqing TV Station, there are more than twenty TV stations in the world that will be broadcasting the World of the Brave. It's estimated that the total number of people covered will exceed one billion!"
"Do you want to become the center of attention?
Do you want to become an online celebrity?
Please rise in World of the Brave!
Work hard to defeat one opponent after another and reach the top! "
Hu Ke said excitedly. Her beautiful face had even turned red due to excessive excitement.
Fortunately, Shi Lei didn't watch Shuangqing TV Station. Otherwise, Shi Lei would have thought that Xie Hui was giving Hu Ke some benefits.
Otherwise, why would Hu Ke be so active in promoting World of the Brave?
In the faraway Lijian Province, it was still around ten in the morning.
Storm had already received the free motion control platform and the VR gaming helmet. He had also set up the front-end equipment needed for the motion control system.
Storm was experimenting with the VR gaming helmet and the free motion control platform to bring a brand new gaming experience.
When Tempest followed the instruction manual and put on the quick access parts and the VR gaming helmet, he was deeply shocked the moment he chose to enter the Hero's World!
The VR gaming helmet combined with a powerful personal game server provided Storm with an extremely shocking first-person view. The scenery that seemed to be seen with the naked eye made Storm exclaim in admiration.
He tried to walk two steps, and the free body feeling operation platform brought lighter steps and lower stamina consumption.
Storm tried to raise his head to look at the sky. When he used the previous generation of seamless display technology to do this, he would fall out of the game's surrounding.
However, the VR gaming helmet provided first-person view and the display screen would move along with the player's head. No matter how the player moved his head, the visual image would be displayed at any time.
As Storm raised his head, he saw the blue sky with white clouds and slightly dazzling sunlight. Storm raised his hands again and couldn't help but exclaim, "Dream Entertainment's technology has reached such a level!
Perhaps in the future, they can really open up virtual reality … "
"Junior Brother, what are you talking about?"
A girl in green appeared behind Tempest and patted his shoulder mischievously.
Storm laughed. "Senior Sister Linger, I said that my dream is to get first place in this competition!"
"Good luck!
Junior Brother, if you get first place, I'll give you a gift! "The girl in green looked at Storm slyly.
Storm had a special feeling towards this non-player character.
Even if Storm kept reminding himself that the green-clothed girl standing in front of him was just a virtual, cold number, and even if the green-clothed girl's appearance was similar to a three-dimensional girl, he could still tell that she was a two-dimensional character.
Even so, Storm couldn't help but have a strange feeling towards the girl in green.
Storm was famous not only because of his wealth but also because of his relationship with the girl in green.
Many beautiful female players didn't hesitate to expose all kinds of information on the official player forum, hoping to attract Storm's attention. However, the players' replies were full of ridicule.
For example, the most popular reply was, "Storm?
You mean that tycoon who likes NPCs and treats NPCs as his girlfriend?
Save it, he likes girls from the 2D world! '
Storm looked at the girl in green smiling sweetly in front of him and was stunned for a moment. He muttered to himself, "For you, I must get first place in the world!"
The girl in green's face suddenly turned red like a real human. "Junior Brother, what nonsense are you talking about!
Hmph, with your mediocre skills, don't lose your life! "
Storm surprisingly didn't refute the girl in green. He just looked at her and smiled foolishly.
The girl in green seemed to be unable to withstand Storm's gaze. She stomped her feet coquettishly, rolled her eyes at Storm, and turned to run away. A clear voice came from the air. "Junior Brother, Master is calling you over. It seems like she wants to teach you some powerful swordsmanship!"
Storm stared blankly at the girl in green. When the girl in green walked out of his sight, Storm muttered to himself, "This is impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
With Dream Entertainment's technology, it's impossible for them to do such details!
That kind of human-like personality, the changes in expression, and the way she rolled her eyes, how could it be just a cold number program?
This is absolutely impossible!
What secret is Dream Entertainment hiding? "
Storm's expression kept changing. He originally wanted to immediately exit the Hero's World and call Shi Lei to ask him clearly.
However, he rationally didn't do so. This was because he knew that even if he asked Shi Lei, Shi Lei wouldn't answer, or give a formulaic answer.
What secret is hidden in the Hero's World's main system?
Why can it simulate the true humanity of more than a million non-player characters?
Is Senior Sister Lu-er just a program, or is she really … Storm's heart was in a mess.
A few minutes later, Storm took a deep breath. The cold air inside the VR game helmet calmed him down slightly.
He looked in the direction the girl in green had left again with a resolute gaze.
Since there's a secret hidden in the Hero's World, let me uncover it!
…
Two hours passed quickly. Shi Lei woke up with Xie Hui's reminder.
After a short two-hour rest, Shi Lei's mental strength recovered slightly.
"Director Shi, the first Martial Arts Tournament will start in one minute," Xie Hui said to Shi Lei.
Shi Lei took out his phone and put on his Bluetooth headset. Tens of seconds later, the time pointed to 12: 00 on the 25th of June. The Hero's World officially started the first Martial Arts Tournament!
