To ascend, I had no choice but to create games - Chapter 90:

Chapter 90: Chapter 89 Unprecedented Grand Occasion (Two more updates) !

After learning that Fang Cheng wanted to pair it with his own game, the staff requested approval from their superiors and then sold two units to Fang Cheng at a price of 28,000 yuan each.

Fang Cheng had the two VR all-in-one machines delivered to his display cabinet, and looking at them, he felt extremely satisfied.

Why hadn’t he thought of this sooner!

The hardware components of the VR all-in-one machine were already taking shape, but the software aspect was very weak.

Because it was expensive.

Decent equipment required several thousand yuan, and the matching software hadn’t caught up, resulting in the equipment collecting dust over time.

Nobody knew whether a technological revolution would impact this field, and the devices purchased today could become obsolete in a few months, further reducing the cost-effectiveness of VR all-in-one machines.

The number of machines also affected game sales, and the high cost deterred game manufacturers from investing in this area, leaving only low-quality games in the end.

Without sales and unclear prospects, capital wasn’t too fond of such ostentatious but impractical content, and the eventual result was everyone calling for VR devices, but nobody willing to buy them.

No buyers meant no money, and other manufacturers were even less willing to invest, creating a vicious cycle.

However, for Fang Cheng, none of these issues were problems.

His games were actually built on Immortal Spell, and by simply upgrading from Immortal Spell 1.0 to 1.1 and incorporating adaptability for VR all-in-one machines, there would be no issue.

For Fang Cheng, the cost of software adaptation was almost zero, and the time cost was negligible.

He had tried it himself; VR all-in-one machines could improve the level of realism in visuals and sensations to 70%, a limit most games could not reach.

But what was the limit for others, was just the starting point for him.

After all, his games were based on the real world, and no other games could compare in terms of realism.

Quickly upgrading the operating system, Fang Cheng connected the two VR all- in-one machines to the network, and then transferred the games into them.

After the adaptation was complete, Fang Cheng glanced at Xu Qingling, who had just returned, and pointed to the VR machine.

Xu Qingling shook her head without hesitation.

Although Fang Cheng had stated that the game included romantic elements, she hadn’t even made it past the tutorial, not to mention seeing anything romantic, so she decided to pass on it.

Fang Cheng didn’t insist, and instead sat next to Xu Qingling. The two chatted idly about raising cats while waiting for the first visitor.

The exhibition booth’s location was indeed unfortunate, and since there were already VR machines on display in front of it, some people lost interest upon seeing this, resulting in not a single visitor.

It wasn’t until an hour after the exhibition opened that the first visitor arrived.

Chen Rang, a game journalist.

Once a passionate gamer who claimed to have played games in his mother’s womb and continued playing throughout his childhood.

But after gaming became his job, his love for it quickly faded and eventually turned into loathing.

Every day he had to play a plethora of games, drowning in countless crappy games.

What was worse, some game manufacturers were paying him off!

Under the coercion and enticement of these sponsors, he was forced to consume these crappy games and then feign a smiling face, pretending everything was fresh and delicious.

Once or twice was bearable, but perhaps due to his strong writing skills, Chen Rang devastatingly found that the number of crappy games he had to consume was only increasing.

You manufacturers, can’t you produce anything other than crap?

Have your brains and intestines swapped places?

How can you expect to make good games when you’re surrounded by vermin!

Finally, tormented to the core, Chen Rang decided to quit.

He was done with those rotten games!

This anime and game exhibition was his last shift. He planned to play all the games and then on the spot, thoroughly trash each one, breaking the developers on the spot!

However, when he learned that his first opponent was Fang Cheng Studio, he hesitated for a moment.

Fang Cheng Studio…

This was a rather exceptional studio he had recently come across, with first- class technical strength and no scams for money, quite conscientious among domestic studios.

But he always felt that their games were lacking something, missing that soul­stirring impact.

He could sense that their games could be a bit better, but he couldn’t put his finger on what changes were needed.

His feelings had surpassed his understanding, and this in-between feeling was particularly uncomfortable.

“Forget it, just have a quick experience and then leave. VR games… probably something like ‘Fruit Ninja’ or ‘Archer,’ I guess.”

Although he wasn’t confident in VR games, Chen Rang was still prepared to try it since it was a Fang Cheng Studio product.

Heeded by Fang Cheng, he sat in the gaming chair, fastened the safety belts, and then took down the VR headset from above and put it on his head.

The goggles on the helmet began to adjust the angle according to his inter­brow distance and the level of myopia. After a few seconds of focusing, the game officially began.

He had assumed this game would be similar to other minor games, but once connected to the VR device, Chen Rang realized he was wrong.

Utterly wrong.

As this was a demo version, there was no opening animation, and the title was very simple, but the overall sequence ran smoothly, and various functions were also experiential.

But to Chen Rang, that all seemed unimportant now.
