Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

He came to the counter and automatically locked onto it with his mobility function. He could only look around. He entered the formal registration process under the guidance of the steam technology service staff.

During this process, he had to determine the characters' names, island names, choose the development direction of the island, and also preliminary customize the appearance of the characters.

Every island was generated according to a certain rule. The starting islands of every player were completely different.

However, the needs of every player would be different after all. Thus, players were allowed to choose the development direction of the island.

For example, if gamers liked to fish, they could transform the island into an island with more water and rich fish resources. If gamers liked to hunt, they could transform the island into an island with lush forest and more animals. If gamers liked to farm, they could transform the island into a land with more variety of plants.

Of course, players could also choose balanced islands to use in fishing, hunting, farming, and so on.

After choosing this requirement, steam technology would develop and modify the island in the corresponding direction.

However, this transformation would not be completed in a short time. There would not be any changes to the island when it was first selected. Instead, it would continue to change for a period of time.

Of course, if he changed his mind in the future, he could still come to the service office to modify it. However, he could not modify it too frequently.

Apart from this long-term modification plan, there was also a short-term modification plan: the moving service delivered by steam technology.

Players could move the initial buildings on the island to their preferred positions. It was free for the first time but they would have to pay later.

As for the appearance of the characters, they were all very cute little animals.

These animals were all strange. There were ducks, penguins, dogs, crocodiles, rabbits, rams, cats, and so on. After choosing a small animal, they could also change its fur color, shape, and clothes.

The clothes on small animals could be changed at will in the future. What's more, there would be bows, quivers, gun holsters, mechanical watches, and other decorations.

After registering, they could officially explore the island freely.

The content of the first day was mainly to help players familiarize themselves with the operations, including the most basic movement, as well as basic gameplay like hunting, farming, mining, and so on.

After that, the game would gradually guide players to carry out more complicated activities, such as fishing high-level fish, hunting for high-level animal materials, farming and producing high-level crop yields, and so on.

During these activities, the corresponding NPCs would complete the guidance.

For example, the one who taught hunting was a dog, the one who taught fishing was a cat, the one who taught farming was an old bull, and the one who taught mining was a groundhog… Of course, they were all in the form of anthropomorphic animals.

During the teaching process, these small animals would use very slow movements to show players some specific operations. For example, the puppies would show a series of processes of taking the arrow, setting the bow, pulling the bow, and shooting the arrow from the quiver. At the same time, they would explain the gameplay.

Players would listen to the explanation and explore the gameplay. When they successfully shot an arrow, they would not help but exclaim, "Holy sh*t, awesome."

Qiao Liang was already very proficient in these operations. He could even use the bow and arrow to shoot quickly, making the dog who taught him to shoot continuously exclaim.

However, the audience was very surprised.

The audience could clearly see Qiao Liang's movements through the small screen in the upper left corner. His movements might be a little wretched in reality, but he was indeed setting up the bow and shooting.

Coupled with the image in the game, many people finally realized that VR games were so different from ordinary computer games!

In ordinary computer games, "archery" would move the mouse and click the button at best. There was no need to make it complicated.

However, in VR games, even though the steps of archery were more cumbersome and the operation difficulty was higher, not only would it not make people feel bored and troublesome because of the highly realistic characteristics, but they would also enjoy it and find it difficult to extricate themselves!

Many people previously felt that it was a waste for the Doubt VR controller to press so many buttons.

That was because other VR games only needed one or two keys to play. They could only use one key to teleport and use another key to interact with the props in the game.

Thus, so many buttons on Doubt VR would not be used in other games.

However, after seeing the specific gameplay of "Animal Island VR", these people realized that even though there were many buttons, none of them were redundant. They were all very useful!

On the other hand, the other VR games did not need so many keys. It could only mean that the content of these games was not rich enough and the gameplay was not interesting enough!

The controller of the Doubt VR glasses took into account the interaction of the players' five fingers. What's more, there were buttons such as reload clips and hammer. It simulated the structure of the firearms, making the game feel especially cool when simulating shotgun shooting.

The feeling was particularly obvious when he was holding something in his hand.

The other VR glasses handles only needed to press the trigger button to hold the thing in hand. However, there was a difference between the operation of the players and the movements of the characters in the game, so it would have a slight impact on the immersion.

However, the handle of Doubt VR had to be held with five fingers. It made people feel that it was really holding something and not simply using one index finger to "hook" something. The sense of immersion would be stronger.

…

He played for more than two hours in a row. Qiao Liang only reluctantly exited the game after the VR glasses indicated that the battery was low.

He had to admit that the game version that was officially released was much better than the previous version that he had tried out.

The main reason was that the entire game process had been smoothed out. The game guidance and transfer had been done in the early stages. There was no obvious gap between the various game boards. Everything was smooth as silk.

The reason why he stopped was that his glasses were out of battery. Qiao Liang's neck could not take it anymore.

In order to give the live-stream audience a better viewing experience, he constantly reminded himself not to look around. Even if he had to look around, he had to do it as smoothly as possible.

That way, the audience's experience would be guaranteed, but Qiao Liang's neck would suffer. He needed to rest.

Qiao Liang could not help but smile as he looked at the bullet screen comments in the live stream.

Obviously, his efforts had paid off!

The viewers' comments on the bullet screen comments were completely different from before.

"I didn't expect that such simple content would be so interesting once it is moved to the VR platform!"

"Fishing is too fun. I already want to buy this pair of glasses already! Just the fishing simulator alone is enough!"

"This game can be used for hunting, fishing, and farming. I've made a killing!"

"Previously, I thought that this controller was flashy but useless. Now, from the looks of it, this controller is simply invincible! If you buy Doubt VR glasses, at the very least, the controller would probably be perfect for new VR games for the next few years. You definitely don't have to worry about not having enough buttons!"

"However, if we want to play 'Animal Island', we can only use Doubt VR. The other VR glasses are not very good."

"Of course, I have to buy Doubt VR. Could there be other good glasses in the market now?"

Qiao Liang could not help but feel proud when he saw the bullet screen comments.

Look!

I, Teacher Qiao, am worthy of being the number one live commerce of Tengda!

Only I, Teacher Qiao, am indifferent to fame and fortune. Otherwise, wouldn't Boss Pei have specially hired me to be the person-in-charge of the sales department?

In fact, even if Qiao Liang did not do this live stream, the outstanding content of "Animal Island VR" would be introduced to players by other streamers or UP Masters sooner or later.

The VR glasses and the quality of this game itself were high enough. Therefore, it did not matter even if there was a small misunderstanding in the early stages. As time passed, players would definitely recognize its value.

However, Qiao Liang's existence undoubtedly greatly accelerated this process and expanded the final influence.

"Alright, today's live stream is about to end here. I have to continue editing the material and work hard to make a video."

"If everyone feels like they haven't had enough, I suggest you buy a Doubt VR glasses to try it out personally."

"After all, you can only feel it if you experience VR games yourself. Watching live-streams and cloud experiences are too different from playing it yourself."

Qiao Liang was prepared to take off his VR glasses to rest.

For a no-show broadcaster, broadcasting for more than two hours was considered working overtime!

However, after withdrawing to the main page of the VR glasses, he suddenly realized that there was an additional promotional page on the main page. Obviously, the content of the main page had secretly changed when he was experiencing the game.

This promotional page was a huge game promotional poster. On it were the few game characters in the Fitness Battle. There was also a huge title: open download of the Fitness Battle VR version!

"Eh?!"

Qiao Liang was shocked.

There was such a pleasant surprise?

The VR version of "Fitness Battle" was developed by Shang Yang Games. Ye Zhizhou and Wang Xiaobin did not mention it at Slow Movement Studio because it did not involve changes in the gameplay and operations. They still placed their focus on the development of "Animal Island".

Therefore, Qiao Liang did not know of the existence of this project.

He was overjoyed to see this title!

He quickly clicked on it.

There was a simple introduction on the details page of the Fitness Battle VR version and a few key points: The data of the entire platform was interconnected and could be used together with the smart fitness drying rack. The VR glasses themselves did not need a computer or cell phone to project!

Qiao Liang was no longer sleepy after seeing that.

Didn't that mean that he could break the dimensional wall and get close to the lady in the Fitness Battle?

"Animal Island" might be very fun but it was a group of cute animals after all. They were mainly there to hunt and farm.

No one would have any improper thoughts about the fox girl and the rabbit sister in "Animal Island", right?

However, the Fitness Battle was different. There were ready-made and well-dressed ladies inside.

Qiao Liang had worked so hard in the Fitness Battle previously and created a full set of uniforms and dresses for the ladies. He could now see them in the VR!

This was simply unbearable.

Qiao Liang immediately chose to download it.

The VR version of the Fitness Battle could be downloaded and operated in the VR glasses because its configurations and game capacity were lower than that of Animal Island. Thus, there was no need to use a computer to cast the screen.

'Fitness Battle' was a mobile game after all.

If players had smart fitness drying racks to begin with, they would only need to buy VR glasses to experience the Fitness Battle VR version. They would not need to have a computer. This undoubtedly greatly reduced the threshold of the experience.
