The mutton hotpot restaurant is steaming hot.

Jiangcheng University has already had its winter vacation, but now that the Chinese New Year is almost approaching, the hot pot restaurant business is still booming.

Lu Ban didn’t know whether this restaurant was authentic or not, but he thought it was delicious.

Sometimes, authentic does not necessarily mean delicious. People in each place have different tastes. What is suitable for one place may not be suitable for people in other places.

Just like the Yannan specialty soy milk, the old Yannan people may enjoy it, but people from other places may vomit on the spot after drinking it.

Put some water into the pot, add some wolfberries and green onions, boil the copper pot, and smoke rises.

The fat and tender sheep's tail oil is put into the pan and it starts to boil all of a sudden, exuding a strong lamb flavor. It is paired with freshly ground sesame paste mixed with peanut butter and chive sauce, and your appetite is completely stimulated after taking a bite.

The cut lamb tripe has a bit of mutton smell. It floats in the pan with oil for a few times before being put into your mouth. It is just the right degree of flexibility when chewed, and the taste is completely different from the lamb tail oil, which brings a different level of experience.

The main dish is the lamb's brain, which is located behind the neck and is half fat and half lean. It tastes best when it is thoroughly cooked. It is tender and tasty, fresh and chewy. One piece of it can send you to heaven.

The hand-cut lamb stands upright on the plate without falling over, and there is no blood on the plate even when it falls into the pot. This kind of meat is best eaten when it is still a little red, and it tastes just right when it is half-cooked.

Three people were sitting in the store, with the TV on, playing today's news.

The boss looked like a young man, and at least the TV was not playing some old costume drama, but a news channel that often reported major domestic and international events.

While eating hot pot, Lu Ban saw that the news on TV was actually broadcasting the story of "Morning Star".

"...According to our report, with the emergence of the first person to clear [Soul Summoning Night], major websites and game anchors have begun to enter the game according to the guide. I believe that soon, Lu Ban will bring us the first surprise of the new year and it will be revealed to everyone."

Wow, the completion of this game is worthy of social news.

Lu Ban casually checked the status of his task completion. It seemed that the influence of 10 million meant that at least 10 million units of the device had to be sold, and now only 80% had been completed.

It’s not that Lu Ban wants to slack off, but even if the production line runs around the clock in three shifts, the shipment volume is not that large.

Other game consoles sold two million units in the first month because they could only sell two million units, but Lu Ban's "Morning Star" sold eight million units because he could only produce that much.

Of course, compared to truly best-selling game consoles, such as NS or PS4, which have sales of over 100 million, Morningstar still has a long way to go. Even if it maintains its current momentum, it will take at least a year to reach the level of these classic game consoles.

After eating and drinking, Qin Tiantian seemed to have made a new friend.

Lu Ban thought carefully about Qin Tiantian’s new friend and felt that she was quite in tune with the foreign modernization.

Bao Bao left quickly. According to her, she was originally looking for her incarnation, and disturbing Lu Ban was just a coincidence.

Lu Ban's life returned to normal, except that the sales of "Morning Star" rose again, truly reaching the limit of assembly line operations.

Normally, game console manufacturers need to carefully consider expanding production.

It costs a lot to set up a production line, and to make a profit you have to sell more game consoles. However, the overall sales curve of game consoles tends to be gradually flat. If you misjudge the situation and hastily increase production, you will not be able to recover the cost in the end. Instead, the surge in sales will lead to losses.

Lu Ban doesn't have this worry.

He just needs a little time to write a few words and that's it.

On the eve of New Year's Eve, the single-day sales of "Morning Star" reached an astonishing 500,000 units, and this was only the case in the domestic market. It was probably due to the news reports of "The Conjuring" that made this game console completely break out of the circle and became a situation where everyone had to own one.

Regarding the overseas market, Lu Ban also stated that he will launch Morning Star overseas within at least one month.

If Lu Ban's Silent Media had already been listed, these few operations would probably have increased its stock price several times.

Unfortunately, Lu Ban was a selfish person and he did not give the majority of shareholders the opportunity to reap the benefits.

At the same time, Lu Ban was also studying what other uses this device could have in the future.

According to Leopard, the Old Ones rely on their own marks to travel to foreign lands. These are coordinates and incarnations.

Lu Ban had already left his mark in the foreign land, and whether actively or passively, he had similar objective conditions.

The basic working principle of [Morning Star] is not neural takeover, bioelectric current or the like, but it achieves perception by projecting human consciousness into a small-scale alien world.

Just like the existence of strange things like [Weird Amusement Park] that are fused with exotic creatures, the space it forms is itself a tiny foreign land.

Therefore, Lu Ban could theoretically also use the mechanism of [Morning Star] to echo the mark he left behind in the distant foreign land and achieve a certain incarnation projection effect.

More importantly, some people have already completed [The Conjuring], so no matter how interesting the music playing and world traveling applications are, people will eventually get tired of them.

Lu Ban wanted to open a third-party interface to other game makers, but he strongly suspected that the other party's programmers would lose their minds and their brains would boil when they saw the operation of "Morning Star" and the game itself.

He had to do it himself.

On New Year's Eve, after having dinner with Feng Yu and Qin Tiantian, he did not ask about Bao Bao's whereabouts or whether he had successfully found the incarnation.

At least now this foreign land is still operating normally, which means that what the incarnation wanted to do should not have succeeded, or the impact was not great. Lu Ban has no room to intervene in the game between the Old Ones.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiangcheng was covered with snow, and the atmosphere was solemn and dignified. I don’t know how many people had insomnia last night because of the [Soul Summoning Night].

Anyway, Lu Ban slept soundly.

Speaking of good things in the New Year, what made Lu Ban feel gratified was that his mission was finally completed.
