Chapter 325 Immersive Fitness!
It’s December now.
The weather in the Magic City has turned cold.
When I opened my eyes in the morning, the windows were covered with a layer of white mist, the ginkgo trees on the street began to turn yellow, and the temperature in the morning and evening dropped more and more sharply.
But when Lu Ming went to work every morning, his heart became hotter and hotter.
It's not the physical temperature, it's the order heat.
The sales volume of Starfin projection equipment exceeded one million units in the first month!
We are currently heading towards our goal of two million.
Even some villa players,
Simply decorate the game room into the "Xiye" scene and drink tea while fishing!
On short video platforms, the number of views of content related to "Xiye" has exceeded 100 million!
It has become the most popular game on Starship and Starfin.
The barrage style is also very unified:
[We don’t understand the joy of fishermen, but we can buy star fins! ]
My dad just tried it out for half an hour at the experience center and asked me to place an order this morning!
[Star Fin is a great tool for your home! Watch movies during the day and fish at night!]
[Can we have a holographic mahjong set? My grandpa wants one!]
Even more outrageous is that,
Orders from Starship have also begun to surge!
This thing is worth more than one million. Lu Ming really couldn't understand it.
How come the sales of this thing have increased when it’s almost the end of the year?
Is the budget given at the beginning of the year too much?
He really couldn't understand it.
If Xingfin's sales surged due to fishing and home projection entertainment, he could understand it.
After all, it is cheap and practical, and many people buy it just for an "immersive life".
But the size, volume, and price of a Starship...
That requires a special room!
It's almost the end of the year. Shouldn't every household save money for the New Year?
How can it be “unified irrational”?
Moreover, this wave of growth was not driven by traditional game players.
But all kinds of unexpected scenes.
For example, large shopping malls.
For example, the gym.
For example, high-end KTV.
For example, parent-child entertainment center.
There is also a nursing home for the elderly.
What is it about virtual fishing activities for seniors...
Even cultural and art museums in some cities have begun purchasing them, saying they are "upgrading digital cultural spaces."
Just like that, Xingzhou's positioning suddenly became B-end!
Lu Ming was almost stunned.
Especially in KTV,
A large chain brand ordered ten sets at once!
Lu Ming was stunned.
"So this is the future of multi-functional entertainment?"
The effect is so great that all three generations love it!
But then the problem arises:
Production capacity collapsed.
Expediting order delivery.
User urging for delivery.
"Old Yao...what are you doing?"
"Please manage your production capacity!"
I haven't seen Mr. Yao very often recently.
Cheng Qing was the one who reported on the factory's document approvals several times.
He was planning to send a message to ask, but before he could do anything, a push notification popped up on Weibo.
Whale Watching Lab releases latest news
December's new game: Step Leap will be available on both StarFin and StarShip systems.
[Create a collaborative journey between body and mind, and challenge yourself to immersive fitness! ]
Lu Ming: “?”
He clicked on it.
…and then I saw a promotional video.
The cover shows a young man standing in the center of the starship projection.
The background was projected with high precision into a snow-capped mountain range illuminated by the rising sun.
There is a treadmill in front of me.
Music roared in my ears, and subtitles slowly appeared:
Are you tired of standing still?
[Are you not interested in the cartoon exercises in fitness apps? ]
Have you ever imagined yourself running through rainforests, deserts, and galaxies?
From this moment on, running is no longer about standing still. Even when you sweat, you can still see the mountains and stars.
【Take a step forward, and the whole land will move.】
The scene changed.
The treadmill started running, and the projection inside the starship changed accordingly.
Every inch of the body's movement is captured in real time by sensors inside the Starship.
The wind was howling, the fog was rolling, and the mountains and forests flashed by all around.
"Is this...working out?"
Lu Ming half opened his mouth.
Then, at the end of the video, there are various instructions for the game.
[“Step”——Whale Watching Lab’s first immersive sports simulation game]

Video continues.
In the picture, a girl is standing at home, and the star fin projection shows a waterfall forest path.
She climbed onto the rowing machine, and when she took her first stroke, the water roared and the shadows of the trees swayed.
Every time she pulls the equipment, the system will adjust the environmental feedback in real time according to her speed, strength, and rhythm.
Sometimes the water flows faster, sometimes the waves splash, sometimes birds fly by
…
After reading it, Lu Ming understood.
"Step" is an immersive interactive fitness game based on the Whale Fin/Starship device.
With "whole body rhythm", "real-time feedback" and "free combination training" as its core, it covers a variety of game modes.
There are rhythmic challenges where you can jump, squat, swing your arms, and perform other actions according to the rhythm of the music.
There are also physical trials that train core muscles by dodging and crossing virtual obstacles.
You can also compete against friends or AI to see how your fitness is performing.
Most importantly, it also supports personal expansion, supports customized fitness space, optional equipment and check-in growth.
After reading it, Lu Ming had only one outrageous idea.
It's over, this game came out,
That gym must be sold out!
"Who mentioned this fitness game first?!"
"Old Yao???"
"Have you been busy with this game recently?"
"You really don't let me breathe."
“Knock, knock, knock.”
Lu Ming was speechless when the office door suddenly rang.
Lu Ming sighed, "Come in."
The door opened, and Cheng Qing was still there, with the familiar ponytail, a folder tucked under her arm, and a serious and slightly cautious look on her face.
"Mr. Lu, let me report the data from the whale watching..."
Lu Ming raised his head and stared at her for two seconds, but the first thing he said was not about the project:
"Where's your teacher?"
Cheng Qing was stunned: "Huh?"
"Where's Lao Yao?"
Lu Ming's tone was a bit sarcastic.
"He's been gone for almost a month and hasn't replied to my messages, yet you come over here every day to deliver materials. Are you up to something lately?"
Cheng Qing laughed dryly twice:
"Mr. Lu, Teacher Yao has been very busy recently."
"What are you busy with?" Lu Ming raised his eyebrows.
"Are you going to make another game?"
Cheng Qing simply sat down, opened his tablet, drew a page of plans, and explained honestly:
"Um...there are indeed no plans for new games yet."
Cheng Qing nodded.
"Actually, Teacher Yao was mainly busy with 'Stepping Leap' before."
"Didn't Mr. Lu say before that the factory is short of funds recently?"
"Teacher Yao wanted to... boost sales here and stabilize cash flow before the end of the year."
“…”
Lu Ming was silent for two seconds, then slowly raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.
"I was wondering why he's been so elusive lately."
"So it turns out your project team is going through another crazy internal competition."
"I didn't even let you iterate so fast!"
Cheng Qing blinked:
"But... Teacher Yao told us that the whale watching project doesn't necessarily have to wait until the game is officially launched."
"We can experiment, test, and develop as we go along... creating content that we think is worthwhile..."
Lu Ming was speechless.
Good job!
What a great guy!
Lao Yao is really good at leading projects!
