Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 187 - 187: 185: AR Equipment?

Soon, the female host reminded: “A solemn reminder to all Metropolis residents! When participating in the roulette of death, be sure to wear a bulletproof vest and be alert to people who don’t follow the rules, disturbing the game!”

A new scene popped up in the picture-in-picture: a player being dishonest, taking the revolver and not shooting at himself but sneaking up on other players participating in the game. Bang bang bang, a few shots later, friends fell to the ground dead.

This cheating player grabbed the gambling money from the side, stuffed it into his pocket, and immediately left the world without a word.

“Not only should we be vigilant, but we should also be conscious of ourselves, not imitate others, and not help foster evil!” The male host, blood-soaked bandage on his head, seemed to finally get serious.

As soon as the female host showed a hint of a smile, she heard him continue:

“That’s why I highly recommend to you—the tiger pattern bulletproof vest! Level 3 protection, bulletproof, and stab-proof, solving your worries! If you need it, please go to the only official flagship store in Metropolis, the address is…”

Before the male host could give the address, his voice turned into a series of

“beep beep beep.”

Later, his microphone was even turned off so you could only see his mouth moving but hear no sound.

The female host sitting on the side said calmly: “Alright, that’s it for today’s Metropolis News. Thank you for watching, let’s not miss each other at the same time next week.”

The screen went black, but immediately there was a loud “PANG!” followed by a man’s scream.

Finally, the video ended.

The comment section quickly became lively.

“Watching this video makes me tremble with anger. On a hot day, I’m covered in a cold sweat, my hands and feet are freezing! When will men be able to stand up?

“Is your focus off? I’m just curious if this studio and these two hosts are real?”

“It should be real! I’ve seen the TV station building in the Metropolis, but I haven’t been inside. I can go and check later.”

“What for? To send some fruits to the male host?”

“Fruits are useless! Of course, it’s to send a baseball bat! Didn’t you hear? There will be more news next week, you can’t go to the battlefield without any weapon for self-defense!”

Apart from the drama in the video, many players also showed great interest in the content of the clip.

“Are there so many blacksmiths? But don’t blacksmiths have no skills? I was also interested in blacksmithing and tried it on the first day, but there was no skill trigger, so I gave it up.”

“Indeed, there are no skills, but the blacksmith masters will teach you, and you can learn by following them. Although there is no system acknowledgement, learning will be slower, but once learned, you can use it in reality. I have already verified.”

“Really? That’s great! I’m going to learn too! I must forge a Dragon Spring treasure sword!”

…Good luck.”

Many players were inspired by the “Spider-Man” stunt.

“What does it feel like to jump down from the top of Twin Towers?”

“Are there parachutes in the Metropolis? I’d be willing to jump if there were, but otherwise, it’s too scary.”

“Do you think there are wing suits in the outdoor supply store in Metropolis?”

“Do you remember the opening scene of the game? At max level for [Assassin Bloodline], you should be able to do rooftop parkour, right? Organize a high-altitude parkour event?”

“Interesting! Let’s level up, level up!”

Not only was the video comment section bustling, but the Cloud Dream Studio office group was also lively.

Everyone was passionately praising Boss Lin’s amazing work, with chat messages full of admiration: “How is this possible?” “Boss Lin is invincible.” “Eye-opening!” “100 golden quotes!”

“Prospering! ”

Unfortunately, Boss Lin didn’t even read the group chat, and was happily having a big meal with Yue Pengju.

As he put down a big stone in his heart, he was also a little depressed.

Because he realized he made a mistake – he left 10 billion in funds last week, planning to start the prosthetic limb project and expand the business. However, Lorin came to him on Monday, and the large-scale neural modem occupied too much of his time, and there was also the theft at the experience store in between.

This caused his prosthetic limb project to stall, as nothing was done and the next batch of Mirage was already coming to the market.

If he knew this would happen, he might as well have just made 10 million Mirage devices in the first place…

“Sigh, I still lack the experience of being a boss,” Lincoln sighed in his heart.

After all, in his last life, he was purely a worker; the decision-making part of being a boss was completely new to him, as he was finding his way through trial and error.

Had it not been for the Mirage’s outstanding performance and the tremendous lead in technology, creating a huge gap between Cloud Dream and other competitors, it would not have been so smooth sailing.

After all, he didn’t have much business talent…

But as he continued to eat, he became cheerful again, “Heck, we may not understand the business, but we can still beat the competition. If you don’t submit, why don’t you make a virtual reality console too?”

Having said that, he was not the type to be easily discouraged and give up.

Just like now, he had already started thinking about picking up the delayed work.

The first thing was to expand the visual aid and hearing aid devices.

Compared to traditional cochlear implants, Lincoln’s creations had a significant advantage: no need for cranial surgery.

Whether it’s visual aid or hearing aid, the key is the small portable neural modulator-demodulator. If the headband is not convenient, it can even be made into baseball caps, headbands, scarves, or sports forehead protectors.

As long as it can collect and transmit brain nerve signals, it works.

HD cameras and audio receiver equipment are responsible for collecting images and sounds from the outside world, which is then translated by the neural modulator-demodulator and transmitted to the brain, letting the brain “see” and “hear” directly.

Lincoln further considered the cost issue as he thought about the level of the HD camera and the sensitivity of the audio receiver when he suddenly realized something –

If he could bear the cost, it seemed that not only could he make up for the deficiencies, but he could also achieve an enhanced effect!

Ordinary people still have myopia, hyperopia, and presbyopia!

If they switch to a strong enough camera and are equipped with carefully tuned shooting algorithms, wouldn’t they see farther and clearer than normal human eyes? Also, there would be other functions like macro, zoom, and more.

The same goes for hearing, the ears of an ordinary person may not be as sensitive as a voice recorder.

Isn’t this…the Thousand-mile Eye and the Favorable Wind Ear?

Upon this thought, Lincoln even shuddered at the idea.

Even without using extremely high materials, just regular level cameras and audio receivers, if storage and exporting capabilities were opened up, it seemed that many ordinary people would rush to buy it!

Whether used as a “pedestrian recorder,” shooting vlogs, or even replacing action cameras, there is a huge market.

Moreover, Lincoln couldn’t help but think –

Isn’t this device a ready-made AR (augmented reality) device?

When it came to AR devices, a single thought immediately popped into his

mind:

“Pokemon Go?”
