During her live stream, she once again topped the familiar trending search list.
There are a few entries about her appearance; the rest are all game-related terms.
I can see push notifications for "Holographic Game - Nine Provinces Immortal Realm" on any software.
Screen recordings and screenshots from the live stream were edited and shared by many netizens on various platforms.
It's the weekend, so there are many students at home after school, as well as some office workers who are resting or having dinner. There are naturally more people with free time.
With the added promotion, more and more people learned about it, and even more netizens flocked to the live stream.
As a result, the number of viewers in her live stream kept increasing, and the Weibo live stream server couldn't handle so many people and started to crash.
Only Douyin is still stubbornly persisting.
The back-end staff immediately broke out in a sweat and began maintaining the system.
"Wait, why are there so many people?"
"Hurry up and fix it, otherwise people will say our platform is broken again, and we'll get yelled at at tomorrow's meeting." Another staff member was typing away on his phone while replying.
"Hey, do you guys think this holographic game is real or fake?"
Having seen too many fabricated stories, this "holographic game" was no exception.
Who knows if this angle of view was prepared in advance and then played directly during the live stream?
First, generate buzz. Having buzz is better than being completely forgotten; even negative publicity is still publicity.
The other staff members who were asked expressed their opinions, some believing and some not, but it is undeniable that they were very successful.
The game has certainly made a name for itself.
Shi Xing raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the number of people exceeding 100 million in the upper right corner.
"After the live stream ends, I will hold a giveaway on Weibo to select 300 fans to receive beta test slots. Those who are interested can check it out."
As soon as she finished speaking, many netizens who had not yet followed Shi Xing's Weibo account all logged on to follow her account.
Shi Xing already had 40 million fans, which increased significantly in the past two days, reaching over 60 million, and now it has skyrocketed to over 100 million.
Even seasoned celebrities who have worked in the entertainment industry for many years don't have as many fans as she does.
No one else has achieved such an astonishing number of fans in just a few months.
Shi Xing performed a few small tasks in the live stream to demonstrate how to play the game.
"Because it's a holographic game, all actions are controlled by the brain, so we use incantations to fight or use spells. Doesn't that give you a great experience?"
As she spoke, a flame appeared at her fingertips.
“There are simple and difficult spells, but some fellow practitioners may not like chanting spells, so we also have a keyboard operation method.”
As she spoke, a keyboard appeared on the transparent system panel in front of her: "The operation of skills is similar to other games, so fellow Daoists who like to play online games can adapt to it easily."
Bullet comments:
"Oh my god! I want to play! I really want to try it! Who wouldn't want to play cyberpunk cultivation?"
"No, a flame just suddenly appeared on my hand?"
"No joke, I really like this."
"This is truly a great game!"
"Won't this game become too addictive? What if someone can't distinguish between reality and fantasy?"
"That makes some sense. I also think this game is too realistic, and some people will definitely not be able to distinguish between reality and the game."
"What's the point of playing games if you can't even distinguish between reality?"
"They have this kind of technology and they're only using it to make games? They should donate it to the country to develop science and technology!"
"What a waste of resources! They don't know anything about maximizing profits."
"It's fake, right? It feels like the whole live stream was fake from the beginning, and all the footage afterward was pre-made."
"From now on, we'll sell health supplements to people like you."
"I can't believe there are so many innocent elementary school students here."
"It's great to see that so many of them are high school students! I'm relieved that all of my son's college entrance exam competitors are like this."
"I took a look, and it looks very fake."
Although it's very popular, all sorts of people come to watch the live stream.
Some believe it, while others don't and continue to mock it, but even those who believe it will refute it.
This also led to a chaotic situation in the comments section.
Shi Xing checked the live stream duration and realized that nearly three hours had passed without her noticing.
Playing games is indeed very time-consuming.
Without hesitation, she ended the game, and the screen instantly cut off.
The viewer, who was engrossed in watching the live stream, saw the image on their screen transform into Shi Xing's face and the e-sports room used for the live stream.
"That's all for today's live stream. Fellow Daoists who want to participate can make a reservation. It should be available by the end of this month."
Viewers were dissatisfied, and the comments section was filled with requests for the show to run a little longer.
However, he simply picked up his phone and started editing a Weibo post.
She did feel a bit disoriented after leaving the game, and she thought it would be good to study the anti-addiction system again before the game was officially launched.
Even ordinary games can get people addicted to them and start fantasizing about life in the game, so the game Nine Provinces Immortal Realm must be an even bigger problem area.
She didn't want to see someone on the news one day fantasizing about having magic powers that allowed them to fly out of thin air or conjure flames and ice with their bare hands.
The previous anti-addiction measures were too simplistic; we need to hold a meeting to think of ways to circumvent them.
"If you have any further questions, feel free to ask now, otherwise I'm going to end this now."
The barrage of comments was too fast to read.
"No! Let it play a little longer!"
"I want to ask about the device requirements for this game. Is it possible that a regular computer simply can't run it?"
"Right, right, and also, how expensive are gaming helmets and gaming glasses? Can ordinary people afford them?"
I saw two questions about the game, and Shi Xing answered them.
"Firstly, regarding the device requirements, basically any computer on the market from recent years can run it. The mobile app can connect to the official PC client and doesn't require much memory."
In fact, the game does have high device requirements, but fortunately, the terminal was directly connected to the Whale Game headquarters.
The chip and computer used by Whale Travel were redeemed from the system store, and they can easily run the game.
She thought that perhaps they could develop some chip-related technologies later on.
"The second question concerns the price of the media. My original idea was simply to create a holographic game that everyone could experience, so the price wouldn't be too high. It ranges from a few hundred to tens of thousands, and you can buy it as needed. I hereby guarantee that other holographic games produced by Whale Games in the future can use my holographic media."
This price does cover most players, but the features are quite different.
She is, after all, a businesswoman; while providing choices and services to her customers, she also needs to make money.
It's unreasonable for customers who buy equipment worth hundreds of thousands to have the same user experience as those who buy equipment worth a few hundred dollars. What's the point of them spending so much money unnecessarily?
However, the basic performance of inexpensive devices is guaranteed, and there won't be any situation where you buy something but can't use it.
