Shi Xing added: "Of course, you can still play without buying the medium for holographic games, but you won't be able to experience the holographic feeling."
Hearing the price put everyone at ease, but after seeing the game content and graphics, their expectations for the equipment and price involuntarily rose.
I thought playing this game would require an investment of tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars just for the equipment, but it turns out it only costs a few hundred dollars.
The minimum requirement is only a few hundred yuan, which is affordable for most families that are not in dire financial straits.
"I'm definitely playing this game!"
"Add one!"
"The lottery for beta test slots has already begun."
After someone posted this comment, others noticed Shi Xing's Weibo post from just one minute earlier.
It's a Weibo post giving away prizes; the winner will receive a beta test slot.
Moreover, the winners do not need to purchase equipment; Whale Travel and YunChuang will deliver the top-of-the-line equipment to their homes free of charge.
You can get it for free!
There are already 50 million participants, but only 300 spots have been released.
People who hadn't seen the live stream before quickly joined in, and the number of participants instantly surged to 100 million.
Because the draw could only be conducted on Weibo, netizens from other platforms flocked to Weibo.
The Weibo account, which had just been repaired, crashed instantly.
A worker working overtime exclaimed, "What a bunch of idiots! It just broke down again after we fixed it! I'm about to break down too!"
"Stop talking, hurry up and fix it!!"
Fortunately, the broadcast hasn't ended yet, and netizens are all saying they hope she can release more slots.
Such a large game only released 300 slots, and in less than two minutes the number of participants reached an astonishing 100 million. How are we supposed to compete for these slots?
This is as impossible as winning 30 million in the lottery; it's simply a matter of incredible luck and one's ancestors having a stroke of good fortune.
"Mr. Shi, please release more spots! There's simply no way we can get any!"
"The number of participants has reached 100 million, and there are only 300 spots available!"
"Please, please give me more spots! I'm willing to pay for the equipment myself!"
"Please, I beg you to add more spots! I'm willing to pay for the equipment myself!"
"Please, I beg you to add more spots! I'm willing to pay for the equipment myself!"
The comments section was gradually flooded with messages, and Shi Xing, seeing the screen full of requests for more spots, thought it was a good idea.
She hadn't anticipated so many people, so she sent out the number of people she had originally planned.
"Okay, I'll post another giveaway once Weibo is fixed. Let's set the number of winners at 500. It'll still be equipment. You guys can keep an eye out for it."
Only after adding 500 people did everyone feel satisfied, as it increased their own opportunities.
"Those who didn't win can wait. It will be officially launched at the end of the month and you can download it yourself. I've already downloaded it." After adding this sentence, Shi Xing said goodbye to the netizens and logged off.
The live stream suddenly went black, leaving everyone who was still typing and hadn't sent their messages stunned.
Because Weibo was still not fixed, they discussed it on other platforms and checked Weibo from time to time to see if it had been restored.
Most of the posts on Xiaohongshu's homepage are discussions about the holographic game "Nine Provinces Immortal Realm".
It's still very popular.
Aside from pressing social issues, the only things that can garner such widespread attention from netizens are celebrity gossip and various scandals.
Kuku, a staff member at Weibo headquarters, worked hard and finally managed to maintain Weibo.
Fortunately, Weibo was back up and the re-edited giveaway post was sent out. All staff members kept a close eye on the backend, fearing that Weibo would crash again if they weren't careful.
As expected, everyone actively participated in the lucky draw, and the names Shi Xing and Kyushu Immortal Realm were trending on Weibo all night.
It was a completely sleepless night.
Under a post about the Nine Provinces Immortal Realm:
"If nothing unexpected happens, I predict that there will be another game a few months after the release of the game 'Nine Provinces Immortal Realm,' and it will be an otome game."
"Yes, based on what Mr. Shi says each time, the next one is definitely an otome game."
"Sisters, does anyone understand? I'm really looking forward to this otome game, a virtual husband! A virtual husband that I can touch, kiss, and experience in person! Not just a romance through a screen!"
"I have an idea! [Finger, glasses, and bean emoji]"
"Friend, your idea is too bold! But I want to too!"
"Can someone go and give feedback on Mr. Shi's Weibo post?"
"I'm really looking forward to it, I've already gone [screenshot of comment]"
Wow, what a sisterly act of righteousness!
“I went too, and I even sent a private message.”
"Since that's the case, then I'll make my move too! I'm looking forward to my super handsome and loyal electronic husband who can't breathe, poop, fart, or pick his toes!"
As a result, the discussion under this post all went astray, and Shi Xing's Weibo comments and private messages were filled with suggestions about the game.
She sets the list of winners to be announced in the morning, and the prizes can be shipped out that same afternoon.
This is why Weibo became lively again at 7 a.m.
All the winners were excitedly showing off their winnings.
With prizes in the hundreds of millions, there are only 800 available, so winning among so many people is truly a stroke of luck.
The four people from Changning City, including Shi Qi, did not participate, but were secretly pleased.
"Having inside connections is great; I can get a spot without having to compete with people worth hundreds of millions," Shi Qi exclaimed happily, holding the holographic gaming glasses she had already received.
After watching Shi Xing's live stream yesterday, her family put on holographic glasses and started playing games. The four of them played games all night until they were forcibly kicked out of the game and reluctantly took off their glasses.
Shi's mother looked at the glasses in her hand and clicked her tongue: "It's just that the time we can play with them is too short. We haven't had enough time yet."
The game feels incredibly realistic; the senses of touch, smell, taste, and hearing are all like those in the real world.
If it weren't for the fact that the character models inside were so different from the real world, they would have thought they had traveled through time.
Even Shi Muqing, a workaholic obsessed with going to work, was still a little tired. Although she had dark circles under her eyes, she was not sleepy at all and was even full of energy.
Shi's father remained silent, only reminiscing about the happy times they had spent playing the game.
Shi's mother started offering suggestions: "Call your sister and ask her to extend our time. This little bit of time isn't enough to play. We're all adults, why should we have time limits?"
Shi Qi, with a deadpan expression, looked at her and said, "My sister limited the time to prevent you from getting too addicted, and now you're letting her let you play without limits?"
She was kicked out after only two hours of playing yesterday because she was underage, and could only watch helplessly as her parents and brother played happily.
She couldn't let them play without any restrictions, no matter what.
"So what? Can't I, a fifty-year-old man, even play games if I want to?"
"Hmph!" Shi Qi didn't say anything, but turned around and went to the restaurant to eat breakfast.
Her mother now spends her days either partying, shopping, dancing, or playing on her phone. She uses all sorts of internet slang more fluently than she, a young woman, and has lost the will to talk.
However, the two, who had nothing better to do, were planning to open a shop and had already been looking at storefronts.
Now she feels that they probably don't want to run a shop anymore; they just want to play games.
