Let’s do it!
Before transmigrating, due to his hobbies, Leaf Zhi had learned a bit about web page development, and he still remembered some of it.
Now was the perfect time to use it to create an official game website.
Once the official website was ready, he could start promoting and recruiting players!
On the surface.
The sky dimmed and brightened again.
The Bright Church cultivators, unwilling to give up, came back once more.
After failing to find anything, they completely removed the detection equipment near the Stone Altar.
From beginning to end, Leaf Zhi was immersed in the sea of consciousness, working feverishly.
Blue Star.
If you talk about the hottest topic in the gaming world recently, it would be the game ‘Divine Domain’ being vigorously promoted by Aisi Corporation.
A virtual reality game said to be 100% real.
However, the only information leaked so far was a ten-minute concept trailer and a bunch of marketing posts saying things like “Supposedly”, “My friend works at Aisi Corporation”, “I heard from someone involved in the internal test…”
No one could guarantee its authenticity at all.
But—
As a major internet company, Aisi Corporation’s greatest strength was viral marketing.
Even if it was just a concept trailer made to attract investors, no one knew if the actual ‘Divine Domain’ game even had a newly created folder.
The news that Aisi was preparing to develop a virtual reality game, ‘Divine Domain,’ still reached the ears of 80% of gaming enthusiasts through various channels.
On the Blue Star Network, the view count for the ‘Divine Domain’ concept trailer reached twenty million in just three days!
This level of attention was only comparable to Hei Houzi three years ago.
However, compared to the overwhelmingly positive comments for Hei Houzi, the comment section for ‘Divine Domain’ was much more chaotic.
“How do I get this video off my homepage?”
“Aixin is laundering money again!”
“Yo, Laoxin released a new CG game?”
“Virtual reality games are old news! Why bring them back for hype?”
“If this game is real, I’ll eat ten pounds!”
Due to the “stellar reputation” of Aisi Corporation, no one believed this game actually existed.
Everyone thought it was just another money-grabbing game from Aisi.
Virtual reality games?
Hahaha, what an ancient joke.
Although several years ago, Brainwave Reading Technology had already appeared on Blue Star.
However, this technology could only read simple brainwave commands on the surface layer of the human brain.
It was mostly used on physical machinery.
For example, operating a drone without a remote control.
It was entirely different from the technology players imagined for developing virtual reality games.
It’s not that no game company wanted to use it to make a virtual reality game.
The result?
Complete and utter failure!
Because human brainwaves vary in strength, let alone allowing players to live as they do in reality within the game, even players who could just move up, down, left, and right in the game were as rare as phoenix feathers.
Promotion was impossible!
The game visuals couldn’t completely simulate reality.
In fact, due to technological limitations, the graphics couldn’t even compare to VR from over a decade ago!
The rough and bizarre models were enough to scare off players with weak constitutions.
Low realism, but 100% jump scare!
In short.
For this kind of scam game with rogue marketing, players flooded the internet with criticism.
But Aisi Corporation still achieved its goal.
‘Divine Domain’ became a sensation!
Now, on any platform, as long as there were elements related to ‘Divine Domain,’ all discussions were about criticizing ‘Divine Domain.’
The level of discussion was huge!
Whether they were haters or not, there would be no shortage of attention the next time ‘Divine Domain’ released news!
This was the advantage of being infamous!
The game gained popularity, players got a chance to curse Aisi, and game bloggers received traffic—a triple win!
It even reignited debates about the feasibility of making a virtual reality game!
Ren Bu Xiu Ji was one of those who gained traffic through ‘Divine Domain.’
Ren Bu Xiu Ji was a game blogger on the Kuai Dou Platform, real name Lin Xian.
His fans affectionately called him Show Bro, Old Show, and Show Dog.
Lin Xian was an old hand in the game blogging scene.
In terms of seniority, he might not be first or second, but ranking in the top tiers was no problem.
He was skilled at both gaming and editing.
But he wasn’t popular.
After four or five years as a blogger, he only had a pitiful one hundred thousand or so followers.
He barely made enough money to get by.
The reason: he was just too unlucky!
He always managed to miss every hot topic in the gaming community!
If you don’t ride the wave, how can you become a top blogger, branch out into other fields, and make videos—
Ahem, getting off topic.
But this time, thanks to the explosive popularity of ‘Divine Domain,’ he finally caught a break!
Despite his mediocre performance, Lin Xian had never considered quitting.
Mainly because of his burning passion for games.
Before becoming a game blogger, he was a hardcore game enthusiast.
A die-hard fan of virtual reality games!
Ever since he first encountered the concept of virtual reality games as a child, he became fascinated by the worlds described!
Second Life, ideal lands almost indistinguishable from reality, game skills that felt real as if unleashed from his own body…
Who wouldn’t want that?
Lin Xian was extremely knowledgeable about the progress of various major game companies in the field of virtual reality games!
A few years ago, after Brainwave Reading Technology was released.
Lin Xian would wake up every day and go online to check its progress!
Unfortunately, all it brought was endless disappointment…
But Lin Xian still hadn’t given up!
He firmly believed that within his lifetime, he would be able to play a virtual reality game!
If not himself, he would have his children and grandchildren burn a Game Chamber for him to play in the afterlife!
It was precisely because he understood the progress of virtual reality games so well that the first time he saw the ‘Divine Domain’ video, he immediately drew a conclusion:
Fake!
Couldn’t be more fake!
All CG, not a shred of virtual reality technology!
And yet they dared to claim it was a virtual reality game?
It wasn’t even good enough as an investment promotion ad—definitely a scam game!
But scamming the virtual reality game field was something Lin Xian couldn’t tolerate!
Holographic Technology development was already fraught with difficulties.
Aisi Corporation had muddied the waters even more.
By the time a real virtual reality game appeared, the player community’s trust would be gone!
Virtual reality game development costs were enormous.
If you couldn’t recoup the investment quickly, it meant a slow—no, rapid—death!
This was squeezing out the future potential of virtual reality games!
Fueled by rage, Lin Xian spent two hours making a critique video about the ‘Divine Domain’ concept trailer.
Originally, it was just to vent his frustration and warn players not to be fooled.
But ‘Divine Domain’ exploded in popularity!
Since he uploaded the video early, his stats soared with it!
The comment section gathered a group of like-minded game enthusiasts who shared his views.
Everyone cursed Aisi Corporation together.
The video’s views, comments, likes, and shares were ten times higher than his previous videos!
Initially, Lin Xian was just expressing his feelings.
When he saw the backend data, his eyes nearly popped out.
After so many years.
He finally caught a wave of popularity!
He was going to be famous!
Lin Xian immediately began rushing out the second and third critique videos for ‘Divine Domain.’
Whether he’d be eating instant noodles or steak next month depended on these videos!
He had to ride the wave and gain as many followers as possible before the excitement for ‘Divine Domain’ faded.
