Chapter 84



[Polar] is currently the most popular game in the world, but there are many other equally popular games.

One of the main reasons why it stands out among many competitors is that the official has been trying various ways to improve the player experience.

The VR glasses and comprehensive operating consoles used in professional e-sports were officially released last year. They are extremely expensive and most people can’t afford them at all. But for those who can afford them, it’s very cool. Although they are not holographic, the experience is definitely first-class.

Although it cannot be promoted on a large scale at present due to its price, it is fully suitable for use in professional e-sports.

Not only are the images that professional players see very real, but through synchronization technology, the images that the players see can be presented to the audience during live broadcasts of game scenes.

If nothing else, at least it makes the game more interesting to watch even for non-gamers.

After votes by the [eSports League] of various countries, all major competitions have confirmed the use of VR technology for the first time this year, and it is said that starting from the semi-finals of the global competition, the official will use the players' faces to design various game characters for the competition process.

To put it bluntly, the contestant's face will be placed on the game character used by the contestant, which can give the audience a better viewing experience.

When Sheng Quan saw this message, his expression was like this: …

Even if she no longer played games, she knew that game characters were basically designed to look handsome and pretty. Using real faces? That was too outrageous.

Until she searched for the appearance of the players from various countries who were expected to enter the semi-finals.

Director Sheng suddenly realized.

She suddenly felt that she was ready again and even planned to buy tickets in advance.

No wonder the official dares to do this, it may be because e-sports in this world entered commercialization earlier. No matter which country the professional e-sports players are from, their appearance is the same, at least they are handsome.

In addition, professional e-sports is restricted by age. The players are basically under 25 years old. They are in their prime, look good, and have good skills. When VR glasses were not available, they were so serious and passionate when playing games. No wonder the fans were so excited.

After watching the recorded videos of the players' competitions, it's no wonder that e-sports and the film and television industry were able to share half of the market and have countless fans. They are all so good-looking.

Sheng Dong, who is obsessed with looks: I like this world.

She seemed to have completely forgotten her previous attitude of "I'm not interested in games, I'd rather wait for the hologram", and enthusiastically raised the flag to join the game.

Sheng Quan not only wants to enter the pit vertically, but also wants to enter the most luxurious pit.

After learning about it, she was really curious. The official set of [Polar] has almost become the top equipment for professional players. How good is the experience?

Sheng Quan had not expected to get top-level equipment right away. This set of equipment is also a series, divided into three levels based on price and performance.

Official competitions will definitely use the top-end 3e. E-sports clubs of all sizes will purchase 1a and 2k for training based on their own circumstances. 1a is also enough for ordinary players.

In fact, the price of 1a is quite reasonable. You only need 800,000 to buy one, which is really cheap compared to the technology.

The 3e is not good, it is extremely expensive, costing more than 5 million per set.

After learning the price, Sheng Quan said: ...It's just a robbery.

She now began to suspect that the use of VR in this year's competition was the official way of promoting these extremely expensive devices.

After all, clubs rely on playing games to accumulate popularity and fans, and victory is everything to them. In addition to practicing their skills, they will definitely deliberately familiarize themselves with the special equipment for the competition.

This year, all global competitions will use VR equipment, which is extremely expensive. They also have to buy VR equipment to practice. It is impossible that they have no problem with their skills but lose because they are not adapted to the competition equipment.

Sheng Quan felt that Tan Chen and his team of water-breaking warriors were truly amazing.

They obviously can't afford the competition equipment, let alone the top-end 3e, even 1a is out of the question. It's amazing that they still made it to the finals under such circumstances.

Sheng Quan's original plan was to buy a 1a in a physical store first, and then reserve a set of 3e on the official website.

It turned out that He Xi was really efficient and actually bought her a set of 3e in this small town.

It is said that there is only one such set in the whole city. The boss, who is also quite wealthy, bought it for his own use. However, before he could bind the unit, he ran into problems with his funds, so he wanted to sell it to make up for his losses.

But no one in Fangcheng can afford it, and it has been sitting in their hands for many days.

A big customer finally came, and they were more excited than Sheng Quan, the newbie who just entered the game.

The boss personally led the team to busy themselves with the installation, and even took out the game strategy he had summarized over several years. His attitude was extremely positive and enthusiastic, and he seemed to want to smile like a flower on his face.

When I left, I was still shouting: "If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We are on call 24 hours a day!"

Although Sheng Quan looked familiar, the boss didn't think much about it, as he was now completely immersed in the ecstasy of "finally selling this extremely expensive equipment."

Oh my god, thank you Star Wars for attracting so many tourists. There are actually tourists who can buy a set of 3e without blinking an eye while traveling.

With more tourists, the sales of his store are also increasing rapidly. By the way, I heard that several variety shows are coming to Fangcheng, which may attract more people.

The boss immediately decided that when he got back he would praise "Star Wars" all over the internet, and then subtly praise that Fangcheng was really as beautiful as in the movie, hahahahaha!

But after returning, he remembered that the wealthy client had just said that she was a newbie.

[Polar] The operation is still a bit difficult at the beginning, and the boss can't help but worry that this rich man will return the product after playing with it for a while, right?

He immediately sent a warm text message to He Xi, who had left his phone number:

[Miss, please tell your boss that although the polar region is a little difficult at the beginning, the more you play, the more you will enjoy it. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can contact me. I’m on call 24 hours a day! ]

After listening to He Xi's boss's message, Sheng Quan, wearing a VR goggles, said: "Tell the boss not to worry, I will continue to play this game no matter how difficult it is."

Because the experience is really good!

If Sheng Quan was still complaining before entering the game that five million was too expensive, it was like money was not money.

Now, she just wants to say: Five million is worth it!

Sheng Quan operated the keys and walked forward, looking at the grass, the flowers, and the huge whale flying overhead. Everything was so real, and the cloud waves brought up by the whale were so beautiful in detail.

She felt that even if she didn't play games, she could watch it here for a whole day.

This is completely different from the VR games that Sheng Quan played in the mall in his previous life.

The reason why she has always been reluctant to use VR is that she tried it when she passed by an e-sports hall in her previous life. The experience made her dizzy and wanted to vomit. The pictures were indeed a bit real, but after playing for ten minutes, she felt so dizzy that she couldn't stand it and had to give up.

But this [Polar] will not make people feel dizzy at all. The picture is clear and it will not make people feel that their limbs are not coordinated. Even if you sit down and use the operation screen, you can get started quickly.

This kind of experience can only be felt when you enter the game yourself.

Sheng Quan: Wrong one hundred million.

She should have bought this VR when it came out at the end of last year!!! If I were to make an analogy, the game screen is probably similar to experiencing a movie in person, and even a bit like the holographic game that Sheng Quan originally imagined.

However, although the experience was good, it was indeed more difficult to pass the test using such top-end equipment. Precisely because the picture was so real, she didn't know where to look.

It was a bit difficult for Sheng Quan to clear the game as a novice, but she knew that it wouldn't be the same if it was a computer or a player with gaming experience. The main reason was that she was not very good at it.

But it doesn’t matter! It’s fun enough!

The problem is that the map is too big, and it’s hard to read the guide while wearing VR glasses. The forum is mostly filled with game-specific terms, which newcomer Sheng Quan can hardly understand.

Fortunately, she has always been good at speed running.

Mr. Sheng quickly found the "I need guidance and companionship" button in the upper right corner and clicked it.

[Polar] In the Chinese agency department, a staff member nicknamed Xiao Xia has been waiting for a long time.

Because of the special nature of the 3e device, the game company specially arranged exclusive customer service to serve these VR players, and Xiao Xia is one of the trained staff members.

When she saw her service icon light up, she knew that another wealthy player had come online.

Exclusive customer service staff receive commissions, and the more money the players they serve spend, the higher the bonuses they receive.

Of course, ordinary players do not have exclusive customer service.

Xiao Xia's avatar is a round white ball. After entering the page, she connected to the voice and greeted in a sweet voice: "Hello, I am Xiao Xia, your exclusive customer service companion. You can ask me any questions about the game."

Sheng Quan, who is still waiting for the machine to respond: It turns out that the guides and companions in the game are real people.

Ms. Sheng, who played this large-scale game for the first time, said she had learned a lot.

After asking, Xiao Xia also understood that this [Wu Jiangshan] player was not here for the competition, so it was not a big problem. [Polar] can be compatible whether one wants to play competitively, enjoy the scenery, or anything else.

However, although this sponsor lady was not very interested in competition, she was quite interested in watching competition. She immediately introduced the [Arena] in the game one by one.

"Polar is a game with a high degree of freedom. No matter what mode you want, it will be here. If you want to watch in-game competitions, there will be official and private arenas every month."

Sheng Quan followed her to jump around the maps. Almost every ongoing arena was crowded with people, with players watching piled up in layers. There were seats, standing areas, and even VIP viewing rooms.

Although she had never played large-scale games in her previous life, she knew that the level of gaming technology in her previous life was not up to this level.

Only now did she realize what it meant to have the understatement in the original text: "Because of universal entertainment, technology in the field of entertainment is developing rapidly."

Xiao Xia is still very pertinent:

"The images seen by players using ordinary devices are different from yours. You see more real details. If you want a better communication experience, you can go to the VR-only area, but the number of players there may be a little small."

Sheng Quan didn't want to go. It didn't matter if others couldn't see such a scene, as long as she could see it.

It feels so good.

She decided that she would play in it for two hours every day. Oh, and she was planning to invest in game-related stuff recently, so she would happily increase the number of hours to more than five!

For the next three consecutive days, Sheng Quan seemed to have turned into an internet addict girl, immersed in the game and unable to extricate herself.

It's not that she has lost her mind. OK, she is a little addicted, but Sheng Quan has not forgotten her grand ambitions.

Frequent entry and exit of the game is more for accumulating the prize pool.

Sure enough, on the fourth day, the prize pool was opened, and it was full of game-related prizes.

Sheng Quan even drew the lottery while playing games.

She doesn't care what she wins, as long as it's valuable enough.

Sheng Quan looked at the huge prize pool in front of her, and slowly stretched herself while controlling the game character. In reality, she looked at the prize she had drawn and smiled with a determination to win.

Only when it is valuable enough can it attract everyone's attention, right?

In reality, Xiao Xia was drinking water while helping Sheng Quan organize the game warehouse. Although it had only been three days, she actually liked this wealthy gamer girl very much.

She is quiet and polite, and never goes around provoking people on the master list. Even if she can't beat them, she won't come to their customer service to complain. She just wanders around every day, and occasionally gets the appearance of the white ball she uses and buys leaves for the white ball she uses to eat.

Although this young lady who is obviously not short of money didn't spend much money, Xiao Xia had a good attitude and didn't think it was a big deal. After all, she was also serving two other VR players at the same time, and her monthly performance was enough.

What’s more, the little sister would give her leaves to eat!

She has been using this white ball appearance for so long, and this is the first time she has been fed and become fat.

Xiao Xia was in a good mood, twisting the appearance of Bai Tuanzi, and carefully helped Sheng Quan tidy up the warehouse. She went out to add Sheng Quan's experience points, and signed her in. She was contented to let Bai Tuanzi squat in the warehouse and eat leaves.

In reality, she bent down and tried to find some cookies from the cupboard.

These cookies are too expensive, but they are delicious. When she was chatting with Miss Wujiangshan, she couldn't help but recommend them to her. At first, she was a little afraid that the lady would dislike them after she blurted them out, but in the end, she happily accepted the recommendation.

Xiao Xia just took out the biscuit and secretly put a piece into her mouth, when she suddenly heard a dry cough behind her. She was startled and turned her head stiffly:

"Master, hello..."

"What's so good about that! Who allowed you to eat during working hours? Hey! Don't bribe me, I don't like this kind of food..."

The supervisor was scolding Xiao Xia when suddenly everyone's computer started to sound an alert.

This is a reminder that the players they are responsible for have spent a large sum of money. This reminder means that the previous limit has been exceeded.

The supervisor's eyes lit up and he quickly looked up at the big public screen.

But I saw big fonts displayed above.

[Xia Qing serves players] Recharge for Wu Jiang Shan: 200 million.

[Polar] has always been very respectful to players who spend money on the game. If a one-time recharge exceeds 30 million, the entire server will be notified, not to mention that this is 200 million.

In the game, Sheng Quan had just received his prize when he suddenly heard a series of server-wide announcements:

[Congratulations to the player for achieving the goal of becoming a millionaire]

[Congratulations to player Wu Jiang Shan for achieving the krypton gold master achievement]

[Congratulations to player Wujiangshan for achieving the first gold in this server]

[Congratulations to player Wu Jiang Shan for winning the highest amount of gold in this server: 20 billion. ]

Players doing their own things in [Polar]: ??? "What the hell?! Twenty billion gold?"

On the ring, Tan Chen, who had just finished a match, looked up.

The player next to him who was knocked down by him didn't even bother to stay alive, but quickly got up:

"Twenty billion? Isn't that just two hundred million? RMB?! Holy shit!!"

In reality, Xiao Xia stared blankly at the public screen.

Not only her, but other colleagues in the office were also furious.

"Two hundred million?! This seems to be the highest record for a one-time recharge right now?!!"

"Oh my god..."

"Xiao Xia, you are so lucky. How much bonus must you get? I am so envious!"

Among the crowd, the supervisor seemed particularly calm. He turned around and scolded: "Keep your voices down. Don't act like our department has never seen the world!"

"There are so many rich people in this world! It's normal for them to spend 200 million!"

Others: There are those who spend 200 million, but you can recharge 200 million at one time, which is unique.

The supervisor pretended not to see it. After he finished scolding everyone seriously, he gently put the biscuits he had just snatched from Xiao Xia back into her arms and smiled very kindly:

"Xiao Xia, where were we just now? Oh, right, eating cookies..."

"I was just about to say that I also like to eat this kind of biscuits. Eat more. If it's not enough, I have more."

"Haven't you heard? Eating cookies is best done in the office, hahahahahaha."
