As early as the beginning of the month, Jiang Chen provided the specifications and models of the "Phantom" helmet shell to interested small private workshops on Koro Island in the form of outsourcing, at an outsourcing price of US$50 per helmet shell. Leave it to them to produce. [Fengyun.com] According to the indicators provided by Jiang Chen, their cost of producing a helmet is about 40 US dollars, and the profit of each helmet is as high as 10 US dollars.
Such a high rate of return even triggered a wave of entrepreneurship in New Zealand.
Now there are no fishermen on Anga Island. Those who seized the opportunity took out loans to purchase production equipment and set up small workshops in their own yards. You only need to produce a thousand helmets and the profit is ten thousand dollars. Isn't this much more cost-effective than fishing
After a while, they have tasted the benefits, and people with bright minds will start thinking about setting up larger factories, expanding production, lowering production costs, and making more money...
Then become a capitalist who is economically dependent on the future people group.
According to Ling Ling's total calculation, the cost of a helmet is about US$500. Regarding the price of the helmet, Jiang Chen plans to set it at US$1,500. Depending on the tariffs of each country, this retail price will fluctuate by 5%-15% in different regions.
Even though the price of 1,500 US dollars seems a bit expensive, but if you think about it from another perspective, it can make you "open your eyes" more hours a day. Do you still think it is expensive
This is a second life!
Moreover, Futureman Technology guarantees that the "Phantom" helmet has a shelf life of more than five years. Helmets damaged due to normal use within 2 years are guaranteed to be replaced, and helmets damaged within 5 years can be replaced at half price. This kind of warranty service is undoubtedly very conscientious.
As for those users who are confident in disassembling the helmet because they are "curious" about its internal structure, then I'm sorry, you will have to pay for your curiosity. In the sales agreement and product packaging, Futureman Technology has clearly pointed out that any self-disassembly of the helmet may lead to rapid "oxidation" of the internal structure. Helmets damaged by disassembly are not eligible for replacement and half-price replacement services.
On the other hand, the current production volume of this virtual helmet is not high. It is destined that some people will be able to use it, while others will not be able to use it for the time being. Jiang Chen believes that even with a price of 1,500 US dollars, this "Phantom" helmet will remain priceless for a long time.
…
late at night. In the virtual reality online game test hall, 2,000 players were lying quietly on recliners, conducting routine tests.
For the first 20 days, internal testing was conducted during the day. But later the staff discovered that when the "Phantom" helmet was activated. The user's brain is in a sleeping state. If the internal test is conducted during the day, the player's biological clock will be reversed. The specific manifestation is that every time after the test is over, even though it is late at night, the internal test players are as high-spirited as during the day.
The impact on the user's biological clock is indeed a problem, but this also proves the excellent sleep aid effect of virtual reality helmets. Even insomniacs can have a peaceful sleep through virtual reality headsets.
Although it is just a detail, it was carefully recorded in the notebook by the staff, which will provide a reference for the actual operation of the game.
It is now the 25th day of closed beta testing.
Players have been shocked from the beginning. It has become a common thing nowadays.
At the beginning, many mages happily threw fireballs to set fire to the houses in the novice village. They were killed countless times by the guards who came and still enjoyed it at the resurrection point. In the end, all the NPCs in the city showed unfriendliness towards these players. This kind of mentally retarded behavior was restrained by his emotions.
In fact, it's not their fault. When anyone has the ability to cast magic, the first thought is definitely not to use it to save the world, but to cause some damage and see how angry the NPCs are. Don’t doubt that even if you apply the psychology of Freud the old man, there are traces of this behavior.
It is precisely because of this that most of these mages tend to change their professions into fire mages and necromancers.
One is violent enough. One is evil enough.
Regarding players' tendency to find jobs, game designers in another world have no choice but to wave the "scalpel" helplessly based on these cold data.
"the weather is nice today."
"Let's chip away at the mage."
These two sentences have almost become daily language in Du Yongkang's game studio.
no way. Without seeing the specific situation of the players, they also couldn't figure out why these "internal testers" were so keen on choosing mages, and why they were so keen on using fireballs to light NPCs' houses. This kind of imagination has been in his mind for more than 20 years. career, is almost unheard of.
It was not until Du Yongkang reported this situation to Jiang Chen that the misfortune of the Master being stabbed in succession stopped.
In the apocalypse, virtual reality has gone through a century-long process from elementary to mature. Therefore, the players in that world over there are not that surprised by the degree of freedom and fantasy in virtual reality, but are more accustomed to it.
In short, the internal testers here in this world show more of a primitive worship of civilization for such a large-scale virtual reality device. Just like if you suddenly throw a musket into the hands of the indigenous people, their first reaction is definitely not to stay away from the hole of the gun, but to move their eyes closer to see why the black D is breathing fire.
Reducing skill damage will reduce the gameplay, but if it is not reduced, no one will play warriors, and it will also affect the player's gaming experience. After some deliberation, Jiang Chen ordered them to focus on growth instead of skill damage.
For example, a warrior's C-level equipment costs about 100 gold coins, and the explosion rate is 10%. The mage's C-level equipment costs 1,000 gold coins, and the explosion rate is 4%. If most rookies cannot play mages, they will naturally choose to change careers.
And at level 20, players will have an opportunity to wash points and choose to change their profession. Players who cannot obtain enough gold coins in the game to maintain the profession of mage will naturally choose to change to professions such as warriors or assassins.
In addition, the programmers in the wasteland also made similar adjustments to nannies like priests who were ignored.
After such adjustments, 25 days have passed, and the playability of the entire game has been improved a lot.
Just when Wei Wendong was walking in the woods as an archer who was deleting his account and practicing again, his helmet suddenly prompted a [Lost Connection] icon.
"Disconnected?" Wei Wendong frowned.
The battery should be full. The "phantom" connecting to the server based on ifi does theoretically have the possibility of disconnection, although this is the first time he has encountered it...
After clicking the logout button, he took off his helmet and looked around, finding darkness in the internal testing hall. He could only vaguely see that the nearby players were almost in the same situation as him and woke up from the game with confused expressions on their faces.
"Don't panic, there's a little situation outside."
At this time, an internal tester came in and spoke to everyone through the loudspeaker.

I already owe the outbreak of the two alliance leaders. Believe me, wait for me in April I will definitely make it up after my internship on the 1st!
