The announcement on the front page of Dream Entertainment's official website was just the beginning.
Shi Lei still had a series of actions that were about to unfold.
However, Shi Lei needed to give the players some time to digest and accept the fact that they had to pay for the full purchase.
It was not a good idea to pay for the full purchase!
Although paying for the full purchase was the most ideal sales situation for a production company, this method would ruin the company's character and overdraft the users' faith in the company.
If it was not necessary, Shi Lei would not use this method at all!
However, there was no other way now. Shi Lei could only use this method.
However, Shi Lei hoped to minimize the harm of this method.
In the announcement, Shi Lei tried his best to explain the pre-sales situation in detail.
He directly stated that once a pre-order was made, there would be no refunds unless there was a problem with the quality. This was similar to the overbearing clause.
This tyrannical rule wasn't targeted at normal players, but at competitors.
If there were no similar clauses, what if Penguin Corporation sent people to make a scene with Dream Entertainment?
One moment, they had pre-ordered 100,000 units. The next moment, another 100,000 units were refunded. Dream Entertainment could not afford to suffer this kind of repeated torment!
After the overbearing clause, Shi Lei also cultivated the scalpers with a greedy attitude.
Although the LIP lens-type information processor had the authority to set dynamic behavior characteristics and lock onto a single user, this authority would not be preset or locked.
This meant that some players could resell it.
Although the clause clearly stated that each user could only purchase one LIP lens-type information processor, this method was not effective against the scalpers. The scalpers could hire people to take up the quota.
After the two unfriendly clauses, Shi Lei finally gave some players hope and allowed them to set up their own service.
However, he did not specify the time.
When the players who watched the announcement thought that Dream Entertainment was going to make a lot of money and run away, Shi Lei brought up a plot that could change the situation.
He allowed players to come to Dream Entertainment's headquarters and personally experience the LIP lens-type information processor.
Just this benefit clause alone dispelled all the previous doubts of the players.
After all, Dream Entertainment had genuine products. They did not rely on promotional videos to sell concepts and prepare to run away.
At the same time, Shi Lei made a special note that the price of the first batch of LIP Lens Information Processors would be raised to a certain extent. If you wanted to get a cheaper LIP Lens Information Processor, please wait for the second batch of LIP Lens Information Processors to be sold.
As for the second batch of LIP lens information processors, when would it be ready for sale?
F * ck, just wait patiently, what's the rush?!
Just as Shi Lei had predicted, most of the players started to think that Dream Entertainment was going to run away after reading the first half of the announcement.
However, after reading the final content, he instantly believed in Dream Entertainment.
However, at the bottom of the announcement, there was a detailed explanation of how to apply for an experience, which made some of the players extremely depressed.
…
"Application Instructions for LIP Lens Information Processor"
1. Any user of the Hero's World can apply.
2. In order to ensure the safety of the LIP Lens Information Processor, users who pre-order the experience will need to pay a deposit of one million USD. After the experience, the company will refund the deposit.
3. In order to prevent too many users from applying for the experience, users who apply for the experience of the LIP Lens Information Processor will need to pay an additional 100,000 copper coins for one day of experience.
This portion of the copper coins will not be refunded. Users who apply for the experience, please take note!
4. The scope of the experience of the LIP Lens Information Processor is limited to Shuangqing City, Xia Xia.
It is strictly prohibited to bring the LIP Lens Information Processor out of Shuangqing City.
Special warning: Users who apply for the experience of the LIP Lens Information Processor, please be careful with the fourth paragraph of the application instructions.
Dream Entertainment reserves the right to deduct the deposit if this rule is violated. Dream Entertainment reserves the right to delete all information about the Hero's World. Dream Entertainment reserves the right to put the user on the unwelcome list.
…
The simple application instructions for the LIP Lens Information Processor instantly knocked a portion of the players who wanted to experience it for free into the abyss.
Actually, it made sense when they thought about it. What if ordinary players hid the LIP Lens Information Processor or destroyed it when they tried it?
Even if the cost of the LIP Lens Information Processor was not high, what about the research and development cost of the Sight System?
Not to mention that Shi Lei's system did not require any investment.
If Shi Lei did not have this ability, it would be impossible for him to develop and manufacture the LIP Lens Information Processor.
After all, how could a character who could develop such a system not create the relevant hardware?
Just like Google, although Google Glass also used the Android system, why couldn't other manufacturers use the Android system in glasses-like devices?
In Dream Entertainment's official player forum, many ordinary players complained that Dream Entertainment was too deceitful. Why did they set the qualification for the experience so difficult?
However, a large number of high-end players immediately refuted that Dream Entertainment's settings were very reasonable. They did not want any Tom, Dick, or Harry to apply for the experience.
If that was the case, how could a mere ten pairs of LIP Lens Information Processors cope with the experience of so many players?
Only by greatly increasing the qualification for the experience could they ensure that users who really wanted to purchase the LIP Lens Information Processor could experience it.
Super Tycoon Storm posted in the official player forum that he was boarding a private jet to fly to Xia Xia.
He had already reserved the right to experience the LIP Lens Information Processor in advance.
For Super Tycoon Storm, 100,000 copper coins per day was not a problem at all.
To Storm, money was just a number.
Moreover, Super Tycoon Storm was making money by playing the Hero's World.
Following Storm's reservation, Xia Xia's tycoons did not want to be outdone. They all chose to reserve the experience.
In the blink of an eye, the ten experience slots were all filled.
Shi Lei looked at Izur's feedback and smiled.
As long as players tried the LIP Lens Information Processor and publicized the experience to the public, it would not be difficult to sell the LIP Lens Information Processor.
In order to further accumulate wealth, Shi Lei executed the second phase of his plan and released another announcement.
…
[Gratitude Announcement!]

There are a limited number of 100,000 units available for purchase this round!
The sales model for this round is a bundle sale. Each unit includes a second-generation personal game server, a second-generation free-form operating platform, and a VR game helmet.
The combined sales price is 25,000 USD. Users who want to purchase are required to pre-pay in full. Non-quality refunds will not be accepted.
The estimated delivery time is: Xia Xia's standard time, October 30th. Global delivery will be delivered to all users on time.
Every player is only allowed to purchase one set of products. Please do not be a scalper and reserve their share for the players who really need it.
…
The second announcement was also a pre-sale announcement. It announced the pre-sale of 100,000 VR game sets.
The VR game helmets and second-generation free-form operating platforms had been successfully promoted.
A large number of players had already caused a ruckus on the official forums. They were calling for Dream Entertainment to release the right to purchase the VR game helmets.
After all, Dream Entertainment was too stingy. Although they had released the helmets twice, the number of sales was too high.
The Hero's World was a global game with more than 20 million registered users and more than 15 million active users.
Dream Entertainment sold 1,888 units of the VR game helmets for the first time.
Of which, 1,666 units were sold by Storm to scalpers.
The second sale, including the additional benefits from Dream Entertainment, only sold 3,066 units.
Combined, the two sales were not enough to sell 5,000 VR game helmets.
Users of the VR game helmets had already exposed the gaming effects of the VR game helmets.
Twenty million players around the world had been waiting for Dream Entertainment to release the VR game helmets again. Now, it had finally been released. Although it was a bundle sale, some high-end players were not afraid of the 25,000 USD price.
After all, Dream Entertainment had given them a 1,000 USD discount!
When the three products were bundled together, Dream Entertainment's bundled sales price was 1,000 USD cheaper than the separate sales price.
This 1,000 USD made the scalpers very excited!
As for the last sentence in the announcement?
It wanted the scalpers to reserve the money for the players who really needed it?
Oh, was this the world of news?
This announcement was not only about the VR game helmets.
Shi Lei had hidden another piece of information in this announcement.
The delivery date of the VR game helmets was set to 30th October.
The first batch of LIP Lens Information Processors would be delivered on 31st August. The second batch of LIP Lens Information Processors would be delivered on 30th September.
In addition, the delivery date of the VR game helmets would be 30th October.
This kind of regular delivery date gave the players an illusion that they could analyze the production capacity of the related products through the delivery date.
However, in reality, the number of units Shi Lei sold was not the number of production capacity.
That was just an illusion that Shi Lei had created for the players!
At the same time, Shi Lei had sent a signal to the players. Dream Entertainment could not satisfy the players' needs even if they were to go all out. They should buy the helmets now!
This was Dream Entertainment's sincerity!
