<=""></> Following the small mermaid guide, Wei Wendong glanced at the clock on the screen of the central tower.

[12:10]

After hesitating for a moment, he called out the menu and prepared to send a text message to several teammates who were scheduled to open up wasteland, asking them to wait for a while before starting a dungeon. However, when he opened his friends list, he discovered that several professional players from the Royal Guild had already sent him messages first.

"Captain, can the copy be delayed ten minutes? The system of this helmet has just been updated. I'll think about it first."

"Old Ying, I'm going to squat down first, you guys wait for me, just five minutes!"

"Old team, did you see that advertisement pushed by Futureman Technology? Is this really an advertisement? Isn't it a new game they made?"

Wei Wendong smiled bitterly.

These guys are about to open up a legendary dungeon, but why are they so messed up at the critical moment

But then his face turned red. He was about to send them a message to postpone the land reclamation, but his words seemed unconvincing.

After hesitating for a moment, he edited a group text message and sent the message to all the teammates participating in the group to delay the land reclamation dungeon for half an hour.

The reason reads: [Some teammates are unable to reach the dungeon due to practical reasons, and the land reclamation time is delayed by half an hour.]

Ding-

The message was sent successfully.

Just when he was about to close the system menu, he saw an avatar jump up in the friends column.

Wei Wendong opened it and saw that it was a communication request from Lao Yue. This person is a friend he met in the game, and his profession is summoning. Because they liked each other quite well, the two met offline several times and became real friends. Later, he was also drawn into the royal guild.

But this Yue Hui is just a casual player, in reality he is the boss of a certain company. Apart from better equipment, the level and skills are just the same.

"Old Wei, what do you think?" The voice communication was just connected. Yue Hui said immediately.

"How else can we look at it?" Wei Wendong rolled his eyes and smiled. "I'm not surprised by the black technology of the Future Group."

Although he said it was calm, in fact, he was still surprised in his heart.

"I heard that there are pre-sale properties here, don't you want to take a look?"

"I can't afford it! A house here would cost tens of millions. I just walked around curiously. I might not be able to travel here in the future."

"Hey? This doesn't sound like what Wei Wanwan from our guild said." Yue Hui joked, "These tens of millions of dollars are at most half your salary."

News that the boss of the royal family spent a huge sum of 20 million to sign Shadow Demon. It is no longer big news in their professional circles. At first, they felt that the boss's investment was not worth it, and spending 20 million was too much anyway. Later they had to admire that the boss had the foresight.

This is a world-class online game.

The number of active players worldwide exceeds 100 million!

In just six months, Shadow Demon has already obtained no less than 30 million benefits for the royal family in the game by virtue of his extraordinary game awareness and experience accumulated in internal testing! Among other things, in the much-anticipated unleveled PVP competition every month, the top ten players have famous guilds and sponsors behind their IDs.

This advertising space can even affect the stock price of listed companies to a certain extent!

In this information age, if it operates well, IP itself is money.

certainly. These are all digressions.

"Come on, you make a lot of money from your business. If you have the spare money to buy a house here, it's almost enough. Look at me, I know how to play games. I don't have to beg for food when I go to a foreign country."

"Singapore can't be considered a foreign country. There are more and more Chinese people. You just think you've gone to Guangzhou. And where can I play games instead of playing games? I'm going to buy a set to try. Anyway, it says you can get a refund at any time." Yue Hui smiled.

"Let's think about it again."

After ending the communication, Wei Wendong began to seriously think about his friend's suggestions. But after thinking about it carefully, it was still a bit too hasty to make a decision so quickly. Buying a house is a major life event that involves starting a family, so you should consider it carefully. Now his savings are enough to buy a small villa in the suburbs of Wanghai City. There is really no need to settle overseas.

Although he also admitted that this city has a futuristic style. It's really attractive to young people like him.

After following Xiaoyu through the main road, Wei Wendong looked around. I felt a little at a loss.

As advertised by the Future People Group, the level of technology here is very high. However, it was precisely because of this that the dazzling array of holographic images and buildings made him feel a little at a loss for a moment.

As if seeing his hesitation, Xiaoyu flew to his ear and whispered softly.

"Any visitor entering Penglai City can get a pair of digital glasses as a personal terminal. Because we are in virtual reality now, these glasses are hidden by us. If necessary, they can be called up through the system menu ."

According to Xiaoyu's instructions, Wei Wendong selected the glasses icon from the menu. The light particles gathered in his hand, and a pair of glasses lay on his palm<="r>.

Wei Wendong fiddled with the glasses in his hand and then put them on the bridge of his nose.

It's very light and the lenses are very thin, making it almost feelless when worn.

His eyes focused on the map, and something surprising happened to him. Light blue light particles gathered under his feet and formed a path, extending towards the target he selected on the map.

He stared blankly at the cursor on the ground, took off his glasses, and the cursor disappeared. Put it on again and the cursor reappears.

God!

Just then, a word came to his mind.

"Is this...ar?"

Augmented reality!

He remembered that the S-glasses launched by Microsoft had a similar function, but he didn't know if it could achieve the level of future people's technology and mark the path to the destination in three-dimensional space.

"That's right." Xiaoyu said with a smile.

"Can I ask another question? Are you a customer service representative?"

"Xiaoyu is AI." The tail waved in the air, Xiaoyu said with a smile while dragging his chin. "As long as you put on AR glasses, you can see your own Xiaoyu."

After being silent for a long time, Wei Wendong sighed.

"Your boss is a genius... Virtual reality + real estate, and artificial intelligence that is more like a human being as a 'shopping guide', it will be difficult not to make a fortune."

"Thank you for your compliment." Xiao Yu blinked. Said playfully.

After walking around several main roads, Wei Wendong stopped at the entrance of a residential complex. I took a look at the apartment building.

At the door, he saw a holographic panel with a row of green labels written on it.

"For sale?" He silently read the words on the holographic panel.

"Penglai City implements digital municipal management. Your local assets and properties are bound to your personal ID and can be managed through a special interface. For example, the holographic panel at the door of the apartment can perform property sales and purchases. These sales The information will also be synchronized in other areas..." Xiao Yu patiently explained to him.

At this moment, the green label jumped to orange, and the [For Sale] label turned into [Bid: 10,000].

"This is?"

"Because the property rights now belong to the Future People Group, the initial sale will be conducted by bidding by default. A first-level apartment like this is only about 80 square meters, and the starting price is only US$10,000." Xiaoyu explained.

But because there are many houses. Unless there are people who only want to live on a specific floor, bidding will occur. Each bid increase shall not be less than US$1,000, and the transaction will be locked in three days.

"Only ten thousand dollars?" Wei Wendong murmured to himself.

"Each user is only allowed to purchase one set of houses in Level 1-2, and only houses in Level 3 and above are allowed to purchase multiple sets, but there are certain restrictions." Xiaoyu reminded.

Judging from the map, there are 200,000 first-level houses for sale, mainly distributed in the outer ring area<="r">. There are also second-level apartments that are slightly more expensive and located closer to the middle of the ring. Generally speaking, the closer to the middle, the more expensive the house price is, but there are exceptions. For example, the sea view villas on the outermost artificial beach. It is the most advanced 5-level house type, and the price is comparable to that in the central area.

Wei Wendong then looked at the house prices in the giant tower area and couldn't help but secretly sighed.

The rooms at the top of the tower are priced at $1 billion. However, it has a gray label and it seems that it is not for sale to the outside world.

And the bottom of the tower... yes, there is an underwater part at the bottom of the tower. The whole island is like a top. The deepest underwater room is located at the tip of the entire "gyro". The spiral-shaped room is completely surrounded by seawater. The price tag is US$10 billion.

Still not for sale…

No matter how you look at it, you just filled in the price casually! Not planning to sell! Wei Wendong complained fiercely in his heart.

"What if the city fails to be built in the end? I remember you are still building under the sea."

"Future Group will refund the entire amount." Xiaoyu said with a smile, "With Future Group's global industry and guarantee for all investors around the world, we will definitely be able to afford the compensation."

With the financial resources of the Future People Group. You really don’t have to worry about bankruptcy. Wei Wendong smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was actually worried about such a stupid question just now.

"Will anyone really settle here?" He looked at Xiao Yu. He asked the most crucial question.

If a city has only houses but no people, it can only be called a ghost town.

"Judging from the house types that have started bidding, there are already 110,000 people planning to settle here. According to the plan of Future People Group, the development focus of this maritime city is mainly on tourism and scientific research. After Penglai City is completed, it will move In the waters between Coro Island and Anga Island, because there are very convenient transportation airships and ships, the residents of the island can easily go to work on any island in the new country." After finishing speaking, Xiaoyu added.

"It's like taking the bus."

"Venice on the sea?" Wei Wendong muttered to himself, then looked around again.

The environment here is very beautiful, and to be honest, he was really moved. But when he thought that even if he lived in Wanghai City, it seemed that as long as he used this helmet, he could come here anytime and anywhere, his longing for Penglai City became a little less...

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed the countdown in the lower right corner of the field of view.

"What is this timer?"

"Oh, this." Xiaoyu lightly covered her mouth and made an expression as if she had almost forgotten something. "This is the time that users can stay in this virtual reality."

"How long? Wait... that means-"

"That's right." Xiao Yu flew to a stop right in front of him and looked at him with a smile. "The advertising time is only 30 minutes. Buying a house and applying for travel can be completed through the phantom helmet. If you want to see Xiao Yu and the beautiful Penglai If it’s a city, please look forward to its completion.”

Hold the grass! Try this set again for a limited time!

However, before Wei Wendong finished cursing, everything around him shattered like snowflakes.

For a brief two seconds, he returned to the pure white cube.

Facing the empty virtual reality space, I was speechless for a long time. (.)<=""><=""><="">
