Chapter 394: Technology That Violates Taboos

“Constantly comparing yourself to others will only make you more angry.”

After learning about the pros and cons of the different starting points in the Galaxy Era, Cai Qinghai lowered his head, appearing as if he had received a fatal blow.

It felt like he had been ranked second in the whole class after working very hard, and then suddenly found out that all the other students were ranked first. He thought he had been elevated to the category of “tall, rich and handsome”, only to realize that he was actually just an average loser in this bracket.

However, the game did not allow one to delete one’s assigned star system and re-select. There was nothing to do about one’s bad luck. One could only continue down the path that fate had arranged.

“Boss, give us a helping hand when your situation improves, and bring us along with you to the peak of success,” Cai Qinghai said.

Li Dong’s starting conditions were so good that his star system would definitely develop at a much faster pace.

Li Dong smiled. “Of course.”

He was not the kind of person who abandoned his brothers.

…

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

Players had basically mastered and familiarized themselves with the game Galaxy Era.

As they got the feel of the game, the players—even the novices—inferred some rules and conclusions.

“This is a great strategy game. It’s not a role-playing game (RPG).”

“Every day, I just sit back and relax in the control room, give some instructions, handle some government affairs, wait for the results after implementation, conduct a comprehensive analysis, and then plan for the next step.”

“For example, players who have been assigned to star systems with the potential for development would currently give orders like ‘start mining’ or ‘build space cities’. There are not a lot of operations that can be executed. Although the time flow is set to 20:1, it still feels too slow. There is a lot of free time every day.”

“Frankly speaking, this sort of game is a bit boring. Despite the high level of realism and the good experience, I estimate that it will not attract more than one billion players… You must know that strategy games have always been a niche.”

“So, I thought of a good idea. Xing Hai Technologies should make another virtual reality game, an online RPG that emphasizes upgrading one’s rank and perfecting one’s skills. This is the real ‘Way of the King,’ as they say. A new game could also help us kill time, since we have it in spades—enough to use. The company will also earn more money.

“I hope that Xing Hai Technologies will seriously consider my suggestion. I am really looking forward to it.”

One player took the initiative to make this suggestion, which got a lot of approval from many netizens. After all, there were quite a few players who were not really interested in strategy games.

Li Dong had also seen such comments when he surfed the forums.

His lips quirked in a mocking smile, the sort that was reserved for showing love and concern to children with intellectual disabilities.

” ‘Strategy game,”it’s boring’—not as fun as cutting your way through a horde of monsters with a knife and leveling up?

“Haha, you are only seeing the tip of the iceberg.

“Xing Hai Technologies’ claim that the game environment has a 99.9999% match with reality is not exaggerated at all. It has achieved 99.9999% realism not just in war, but in all aspects of the game! Everything in the game world is like the real world.

“In other words, it is another real world.

“Especially for the NPCs in the game. None can be described as a typical AI. All of them have their own behavioral logic and act in the same way as normal human beings. They are incredibly natural—I can’t detect any mistakes.”
