Chapter 62 New
=====================
Karen's community profile picture and profile both have a sense of timelessness.
Introduction information: For cooperation, please contact Rhine Trading Company.
His profile picture is of himself in a tuxedo, and he posts regularly every day to introduce how useful the products in his own industry chain are.
Lujia often feels that he was born in the wrong place. He posts more than ten updates a day and is more dedicated than a Wechat businessman.
【Dragon Feather: Okay. 】
[Karen from Rhine Trading Company: I’ll have the animal cart come pick you up later. 】
Luke wanted to make an OK gesture out of habit, but found that there was no option.
"no."
This way of chatting is too uncomfortable. I have to develop a picture-posting function in the future.
Humans cannot lose emoticons!
The beast cart arrived very quickly. The feather pen was still absorbing blood essence, the Sage's Sword was showing off its sword embryo, and Luka, who had finished eating the buns, left the two "foodies" behind and went out alone.
Karen was already waiting for him on the animal cart, turning the big ruby ring around out of habit.
"Good morning, gorgeous..."
Luke interrupted the rest and jumped into the car: "Good morning."
In order to do good deeds for his business, he has recently turned over a new leaf.
The animal cart sped along at lightning speed and arrived at the most prosperous commercial core circle.
The Holy City plans to open 30 Internet cafes, the largest of which is adjacent to the opera house. To the north is the area where the families of senior military officers live, so its popularity and security are first-class.
Now the most important decoration of the store has been completed.
The manager was in charge of selecting the site, and he personally received the two people in.
As soon as Luka entered the room, he immediately braked: "Assassin!"
The manager's face turned pale, and An Yi, who was following Karen's shadow all the time, almost jumped out.
However, after some observation, he confirmed that there was no one in the store.
Karen looked at Luke in confusion, and the latter stopped and looked unhappy.
Looking around, Luke's head ached.
He pointed at the valuable vases placed on each table, without any protective measures around them, and asked quietly:
"Hey, who are you going to scam?"
After saying that, he knocked on the fine jade table and said, "Who are you going to assassinate again?"
Which netizen accidentally slammed the table in excitement while surfing the Internet, and then lost everything to pay for it?
When I looked up, I found antique calligraphy and paintings hanging on the low wall near the buffet.
"It!! Who is it waiting for again?"
Karen: “…”
Luke: "Most of the people who are willing to come to the Internet cafe now are not very wealthy. It's okay to decorate like this in the Holy City, but experience stores in other regions must adopt a people-friendly style."
The manager was sweating profusely because Rhine Trading Company was very particular about standardization.
By then, other places will definitely have to follow the standards of the Holy City Experience Store. What he said seems really inappropriate.
In order not to appear incompetent, I could only reluctantly say: "Most customers are of high quality and will not slam the table for no reason."
Luke: "Naive."
If you have never lost your temper while surfing the Internet, you could be considered a saint.
“…”
Karen glanced at the steward and said, "Tear it down and reinstall it."
Lujia turned around, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Is this the large terminal that was delivered?"
Finally something that isn't so terrible!
The outer shell is very delicately made, and the screen is a cube to prevent the image from being distorted or incomplete.
What really surprised Luke was the mouse-like facility next to it.
Karen explained: "Considering the height of the table and the size of the terminal, it would be difficult for customers to reach the top of the screen. So I discussed with the elves and came up with a medium that can be touched indirectly."
Luke gave a thumbs up: "It has to be you."
As he said this, he sat down nearby.
Seeing that his expression was beginning to become serious, Karen also became more focused.
Lujia tried it out for a bit and found the operation smooth and good: “We still need something more interesting to increase customer stickiness.”
Otherwise, you can check the status, register an account, and finish surfing the Internet in less than ten minutes.
Karen nodded slightly.
In fact, even the manager realized this, but he went astray and wanted to attract customers with luxurious decoration and free self-service.
"Games, movies." Luke stretched out two fingers.
Movies are time-consuming, not to mention games.
The existing music games have a limited audience, so we must develop a game with a larger base for all the people.
Seeing Luke talking, Karen knew that he probably already had an idea.
Luke never let him down. "A strange story game."
Large-scale online games are too time-consuming to produce, and he cannot spend all his time on the magic structure. This kind of game that plays narrative tricks has low creation costs and the text is very distinctive.
Its greatest charm lies in its ability to subvert the rules of traditional imagination.
While "My Demon Father" has sparked discussion across the entire network, further amplifying the grotesque style of the terrifying genre will surely have a very good effect.
You can also take the opportunity to carry out some beneficial promotion.
Karen was confused by the unfamiliar words, but also felt a sense of novelty and excitement: "Tell me in detail."
"Call more reliable people first." Lujia took out a pen and paper: "We need to brainstorm."
Karen was always reliable and contacted Lillian first. Lillian had never lost in terms of her wild imagination. At the same time, he glanced at the shadow in the corner and said, "Call a few guests from the family. Remember, they must be of different races. Bring ten great magicians who have a death pact with us."
In this way, we can discuss the construction of the magic architecture on the spot, which can save a lot of time.
When he heard about the death contract, Luke raised his eyebrows.
It is worthy of being the number one trading company in the continent. Anyone who can become a great magician must be arrogant and proud. They are actually willing to sign a contract with their souls.
Karen smiled and said, "There are actually people who are better at business than me, but when it comes to investment vision, I think I am as good as anyone."
In a sense, he is an angel investor for some celebrities when they are down and out.
"You come up with the idea for the game, and you get 70% of the profit."
"Fifty-fifty is fine, give the 20% to the participating developers." Only when you give enough benefits will the members work hard for you.
Lujia lowered his head and took a sip of tea. The more successful the project was, the more netizens it would attract, and he would eventually become the biggest beneficiary.
…
After the guest official and the great magician arrived, they expressed their opinions and the heated discussion lasted until dark.
This is only the first day.
For several days in a row, when Luke woke up every morning, he went out with the stars, and when he came back at night, he faced the moon. In this magical world, he worked himself to lose weight.
Strangely, he found an excuse to reject Quill's help with the magic architecture and sent him to help Lillian check and improve the online novel platform.
On the last day of the year, all 18,800 Internet cafes under Rhine Commercial Bank opened for business.
Considering the human population and the number of cities, this coverage rate is not high and can only be considered a trial operation.
The day before the opening, the manager asked: "How do we let others know about the opening? Should we put it in the newspaper?"
Luke: "Set off a firecracker at the door."
“…”
Each experience center can accommodate a limited number of customers. The experience center in the Holy City is considered a super-large Internet cafe. Its three floors together can accommodate nearly a thousand people. It is meaningless to use newspapers to attract too many customers.
At the auspicious moment, a crackling sound echoed through the streets.
Many people stopped in the streets and alleys upon hearing the noise. Large flower baskets and various colorful balloons were placed at the entrance of the Internet cafe. The festive and lively atmosphere made them subconsciously want to explore the store.
But no one went in immediately.
"Terminal Experience Hall?"
When they saw the business introduction next to the Internet cafe, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Portable devices have now become a symbol of identity.
It is the same as the fact that modern people can afford to buy cars but cannot afford to maintain them. The subsequent use costs of the terminal far exceed its purchase cost.
The vanity of the residents of the holy city is as high as its prices. Many people want to go in, but they think it would be too cheap to do so. Doesn't that prove that they are the group that can only pay for the experience by the hour?
Just when he was hesitating, a man in military uniform walked in.
"It's Admiral Carol!"
It was a day off and Carol had just returned to the city from the military headquarters to prepare for tomorrow's performance report.
There was no emotion visible on his extremely serious face. He even glanced at the price casually and then sat casually in front of a large terminal.
The birth of the terminal brought him the attention of the saints, and Carol didn't mind supporting the development of the industry with personal actions in return.
Anyone with a terminal could enter and exit the Internet cafe freely, and those who were still hesitating completely threw aside their concerns and poured in.
Outside the holy city, there are no such concerns in other places. There are long queues outside early in the morning, and some people even queue for a fee. Even in the far north, the Lord of Stone City and Karen's mother, Lady Beryl, went to join in the fun.
Holy city, Internet cafe.
The final effect of the Internet cafe is very good. There is no particularly luxurious construction, but the basic services are in place.
Noise reduction magic has been applied to each seat to prevent disturbing the neighbors. There are special instructions for use next to the mouse, and it is said that gently moving it can replace pressing your fingers all over the screen.
As usual, Carol prepared to pay his respects to the saint and then left to attend to official business.
【Gululu video】
【Ghost Talk Travel】
Two new icons appear on the screen.
New virtual platform?
Everyone wants to explore new things. Carol thought about it and since he had plenty of time today, he clicked on "Ghost Story Travel" which attracted him more.
After a short loading time, a patched-up and strange-looking puppet appeared in the center of the screen, and the surrounding scene showed a distant view directly along with the appearance of the little man.
This is a foggy town built on the mountain.
As the fog deepened, a dilapidated courtyard appeared in front of us.
The scene gives a strong sense of immersion, but for Carol, who has carried out many dangerous missions, this environment is not scary at all.
Out of professional habit, he was used to observing the surrounding environment. There was a well in the yard, surrounded by small earthen mounds. Directly opposite was a small house with air leaking on all sides, and there was a faint light flickering in the house.
And the puppet in the center of the screen that can be controlled and moved should be the role he is playing.
Rustle, rustle.
A one-eyed old lady walked out of the house with a slow pace.
She stopped at the door.
Then, the whole picture seemed to be still.
Carol thought for a moment and manipulated the puppet to approach the old lady.
The puppet limped and walked with some difficulty.
When they met face to face, the one-eyed old lady finally spoke, and a line of subtitles popped up on the screen: [My dear grandson, are you going out traveling again? 】
The puppet nodded, and the old lady suddenly pounced on him with bared fangs and claws, grabbing the puppet's neck tightly.
[Running around again, who told you to run around!] 】
The contrast between the two was so huge that before Carol could react, the old lady suddenly returned to her kind face.
[You can go out, but you have to remember what grandma said]
[You can trust women, children, and disabled people you meet on the road]
[The elderly will not appear with the disabled, women and children will not appear at the same time. When they appear together, they are not worth trusting! 】
[When a woman needs help, you can go to her, but if she helps you, you must kill her]
The most ordinary words caused Carol to have the first change of emotion since he saw this strange town.
When you are being helped, you want to kill the person who provided the help?
Carol's brows began to frown unconsciously at this kind of anti-human logic.
The lines of weird hints continue.
[There are no adult men in our town, and there are no elderly people in the next town]
[If you meet an adult man who is not from the next town, never look him in the eye! 】
【Remember to go home before dawn】
The one-eyed old lady handed the lamp in her hand to the puppet: [Here, this is the lamp that grandma gave you]
[Do you accept the old lady’s lamp?] whether】
Carol subconsciously wanted to choose yes.
A cold wind suddenly blew through the yard, and there seemed to be a gurgling sound in the well water.
Carol suddenly thought of something: the elderly would not appear with the disabled!
And the character I played happened to walk with a limp.
The screen zoomed in and froze on the one-eyed old woman's weird smile.
The countdown of the options begins to turn red: 3s, 2s...
Carol simply chose no.
The next second, when he walked out of the courtyard and pushed open the door, he saw a pale neck longer than a snake stretched out from the gap. The monster, whose face could not be seen in the fog, opened its mouth and swallowed his entire head!
Horror movies are always inseparable from background music, and the sound effects cast a magic spell.
The crunching sound of chewing appears in my mind in 3D surround.
A masked little man in a white robe jumped out of the well, holding a magic wand, and seemed to be poking his nose through the screen:
【Hehehe, you are dead】
[No way, no way, it’s not because of the rule about the elderly and disabled being together that you don’t want the lights? 】
[Stupid, puppets are not people! 】
Carol had never been scolded before, so she frowned and started over again.
This time he chose to ask for the lamp and walked out of the courtyard smoothly.
[Reward: Fire*1]
[Fire: Please plant the fire on the grave mound in the courtyard. When it matures, it can extend the lighting time and protect you in the fog.]
Carol had never seen such pure fire.
It really is just a seed.
He realized later that these uneven things in the yard were actually grave mounds.
After the fire was lit, the atmosphere became increasingly weird, and the air seemed to have a strange smell.
[There are still two hours and thirty minutes until the fire matures]
【Congratulations on unlocking the 'well'】
[Well: Find and jump into any well in the town to return directly to the courtyard]
Carol groaned: "It's equivalent to a teleportation array."
The lamp in his hand could still be used for exploring for a while, so he decided to go out and take a look first.
In the next thirty minutes, Carol died no less than five times. The most outrageous cause of death was:
[Hehe, I believed the wrong thing again]
[Didn’t you notice the bulge in the woman’s belly, holding the prenatal examination report? She showed up with the baby! 】
The lighting range is limited, who can notice the small words on the report?
When people are speechless to the extreme, they will really laugh.
Carol sneered a pixel.
Although silent, the body is extremely honest.
The ordinary rules embedded in the horror story are powerful, and the visual impact brought by the pure literary art and the brain-burning feeling are completely irresistible to his meticulous character.
The curiosity and desire for exploration in my bones are gradually activated.
Every time he died, the feeling of unwillingness to accept the defeat gave him the illusion that he would definitely win next time.
They played again and again until the lights went out, and there was still more than an hour before the next batch of fire was ready.
Carol let out a long sigh and could only withdraw with regret.
The customers waiting outside saw someone seemed to be getting up and wanted to come in immediately.
However, Carol quickly sat down again.
He was originally planning to go back and use the terminal to play the next one, but the palm-sized screen was not as comfortable as the large terminal in front of him.
"What are they doing in there? Not a single customer has come out yet?"
"Yes, this is not an experience store. How long do we have to wait in line?"
There seemed to be a dispute outside, but Carol didn't care because there was no time limit in the Internet cafe anyway.
While waiting for the fire to mature, he entered another platform: [Gululu Video].
The homepage is pushing trailers of several projects in collaboration with the opera house. The only one that can be watched is "The Real and Fake Young Master of a Rich Family", and you have to pay.
The movie has been shown on the human continent before.
However, Carol was in the busiest period of the military at that time, and there were many viewers in the entire human race who had never seen it like him.
The opera house will rehearse the celebration dance for a month or two before and after the celebration day, so the movie will be shown on the human race only for a limited time.
Carol didn't mind the small change and chose to watch it on demand.
As the plot progresses, his eyes become colder.
The soldiers are decisive in killing and cannot tolerate any grain of sand in their eyes. This movie successfully brings the desert into the eyes of the audience.
He never shows his emotions, which is something ordinary people can't do.
Because the screen lacks privacy, the choices of people who come into the Internet cafe are similar. Few people visit the community, and most of them choose to watch Ghost Talk Travel and Gululu Video.
The feeling of free things made them almost unanimously experience the former first, and then watch the movie after they were done.
There were intermittent sounds of banging tables all around. Even though the store owner had cast noise reduction magic, the sounds could still be heard, which showed how angry they were.
"What a beast!"
Not only the whole family, it seems like the whole world is trampling the real young master into the mud.
Is this a plot that a human could come up with? Movies nowadays don’t have a fast-forward function, and the audience is forced to watch every minute of the film, relying on the hook that the protagonist might fight back.
The protagonist falls into the sea and is about to face a counterattack, but the movie ends abruptly!
The angry customer almost smashed the screen.
"Guest, please calm down."
The temporary network administrator appeared at the first opportunity.
It's more about maintaining personal demeanor and face than being calm.
The customer angrily deleted the video and heard people arguing about the waiting time outside, and realized that the fire should be ripe.
Carol at the next table was relatively calm and was the first to log into the game.
There are only a few lights left in the tomb
The flame is half gone!
[X month X day 04:39, the glutton hiding in the well stole 1 of your firepower]
[X month X day 05:10, the glutton hiding in the well stole 1 of your firepower]
…
[I'm sorry, I didn't mean it]
[You won't blame me, will you?]
Glutton sadly apologized.
It was almost dawn in the town, and the image of the glutton in a white robe gradually became clearer.
It actually looks a lot like the fake young master in the movie True or Fake Young Master!
No, not really.
The expression is exactly the same.
I just finished watching a heart-wrenching but not cruel movie, and when I returned to the game, I found that the fire had been stolen again, and the person who stole it was something that looked similar to the fake green tea master.
Even the calmest person almost couldn't hold his breath.
The manager in charge of recording the data stood silently at the front desk, realizing the importance of Lujia's request to replace the jade table.
The dispute in the queue at the door was still going on. A customer threw his mouse down and walked out, just in time to make eye contact with the people waiting in the queue.
The customer opened his mouth wide: “Aaaaaah!”
Those in the queue: “???”
Similar scenes are also played out in Internet cafes in various places. On the day off, first watch a bloody movie, then play an infuriating game. This life is completely over!
——————
People's joys and sorrows are still different today.
In the clubhouse, Luke was carefully packing a gift box. He had handmade some candies in the morning as a birthday gift.
At the same time, Feather Pen was reading a boring theoretical book when he suddenly felt a steady stream of negative emotions coming towards him.
His first reaction was what Luke had done, as he had been acting mysterious recently.
As if sensing his gaze, Luke raised his head.
It should be about time.
Lu Jia smiled and said, "I have arranged for the film of the True and False Young Master to be released online. The cover of the new poster specifically puts you in the main position, which will attract more hatred. In addition, I also participated in the design of a small game, which makes you a hateful character in it."
In the future, as Internet cafes expand, the hatred value will also grow rapidly like mushrooms after rain.
The plum blossoms outside the guild hall were in full bloom. Lu Jia caught a glimpse of them and felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart:
"A birthday gift, I hope you like it."
In front of him was an extremely sincere face. After a long while, the corner of Quill's mouth slightly raised: "This is the best gift I have ever received."
Outside the door, Karen stood there in a daze.
He had originally intended to come over to discuss something with Luke and to inform him about the first day's operations at the Internet cafe, but he happened to see this scene.
One deliberately stirred up hatred, and the other was so moved that he lost his voice.
Has this world finally gone mad?
After taking the Gulu Rock Milk, Luka's perception became unusually strong, and he quickly spotted Karen. He waved and said, "You've come just in time. I've prepared a birthday gift for you!"
“…”
No, he doesn't want to be hated!
--------------------
Excerpt from Luke's diary:
Updating personal signature: Give abstract gifts and enjoy a magical life.
Karen: How can I not be hated?
Alex sneered: You deserve it.
Only he has the right to be hated.
Karen: ? ? ?
Excerpt from Luke's diary:
In addition, today's magic achievement has added a new small magic function to the diary.
Alex: What function?
[Send messages to friends for more than 60 consecutive days to obtain the "Huoyan Yanyi" logo]
Luke: ...
How long have I been writing in my diary? Eat my wing——
…
Ahahahahaha! It's almost the weekend again, the Internet cafe randomly drops 50 Internet red packets~
