Chapter 239: Can This Game Be Pay-to-Win?
Chapter 239: Can This Game Be Pay-to-Win?
Sage Sang slowly removed the helmet.
Even though she had already accepted this setting within the game,
At this very moment, as she looked at Su Ping, Sage Sang's gaze still held a lingering sense of shock and disbelief.
For her, the experience gained from fighting and leveling up in the Dream Heart was far less effective in enhancing her psychic energy compared to the meditation technique she practiced, the Ten Thousand Phenomena Meditation.
However, just as the Dream Heart world had suggested,
Her current level was too low, and once she reached a higher level, killing more powerful monsters would naturally provide more psychic energy as a feedback.
Moreover, the most crucial aspect was that this meditation technique was not the least bit boring or tedious, and there was no need to meticulously control her spiritual resonance, fearing that a slight loss of control would completely sever the connection, requiring her to restart the meditation.
In the Dream Heart, cultivation was completely stress-free.
Instead, it made one eagerly anticipate the upcoming exploration and self-improvement.
Unfortunately, the progress was too slow, and there were no pay-to-yun couldn't find any pay-to-win options.
Then, in front of Su Ping and Liu Fuhai, who had been called by Su Ping to discuss the Five Elements Harmony's paper diagram that Sage Sang had just mentioned,
Sage Sang, instead of inquiring about the Dream Heart's acupoints or casually expressing approval and denial,
Looked expectantly at Su Ping and asked a question that caught both of them off guard:
"Xiao Ping, can this game be pay-to-win? Or are there other ways to level up quickly? It's too slow, and the experience gained is too little. I want to evolve my Wood Heart again, but the process is too complicated..."
Pay-to-win...
Su Ping pursed his lips and could only shake his head helplessly:
"I'm sorry, Senior Sage Sang, but the Dream Heart hasn't opened this function yet."
In fact, Su Ping was well aware of why Sage Sang was asking this.
For a being like Sage Sang, it was normal to receive less psychic energy feedback from fighting and leveling up.
As for high-level experience monsters...
Sorry, at Fatso's current level, the Dream Heart's capacity couldn't support such experience feedback.
Sage Sang felt a bit disappointed.
However, she quickly recovered.
Considering her status, it was understandable that Qin Xiaoxue, standing beside her, was even more impatient.
Indeed, at that moment, Qin Xiaoxue was still immersed in the virtual world, unable to tear herself away.
The three of them didn't pay attention to her and returned to the main topic. Sage Sang turned her attention to Liu Fuhai, who had just arrived:
"President Liu, congratulations on your promotion."
President Liu bowed to Sage Sang, "Thank you, Sage Sang, and I must also thank Su Ping for his help. Otherwise, how could Jianghai Province have made such a big splash? I wouldn't have been able to benefit from it."
"By the way, what's the situation with Su Ping's origami figure?"
Liu Fuhai smiled slightly, and with Su Ping's permission, he didn't hide anything and began explaining some of the acupoints and theories related to the Five Elements Harmony.
It was precisely because of this that Sage Sang, standing before them, remained in a daze for a long time.
She had heard something astonishing. The acupoints and cultivation theories she had just heard held no interest for her.
Instead, she had caught two critical evaluations.
One was that it wouldn't be inferior to the Sun Core.
The other was that it might have the potential to become a Hall Tier Supreme Skill.
Sage Sang wasn't a breeder, so she didn't know about the rest.
However, regardless, she was well aware of the value of Hall Tier Supreme Skills.
It didn't make sense!
The woman looked at Su Ping with confusion:
"Su Ping, do you have a time-based pet beast in your Wood Heart?"
The question caught Su Ping off guard.
What did she mean? He shook his head subconsciously.
What did she mean? The woman gave Su Ping a strange look. If it weren't for the existence of a time-based pet beast, why would you, in less than a month, come back and, in just a few days, have a virtual game meditation technique and a Hall Tier Supreme Skill?
These are things that ordinary people might not encounter in half a lifetime, or even a whole lifetime, yet you managed to figure it out in just one month?
But the woman knew that sometimes, in this world, geniuses were simply unreasonable.
She couldn't reason with such beings.
It was pointless.
At this moment, Sage Sang had only one thought.
She hadn't taken her granddaughter's situation seriously before.
Initially, she didn't want her son's circumstances to repeat with her granddaughter, so she had no intention of interfering with Qin Xiaoxue's life.
But at this moment, a sense of urgency arose within Sage Sang.
Such a precious talent, just sitting there, was truly unsettling.
Su Ping had no idea that in just a moment, he had sparked numerous 'malicious' thoughts in this old lady's heart."
Fortunately, Sage Sang quickly turned her attention to the origami figures in Su Ping's Wood Heart base, saying, "Let's go; I'll take a look around your Wood Heart base. We can have dinner together later."
"You go ahead and take care of things first."
"Hmm..."
Su Ping glanced at Qin Xiaoxue on the sofa, and Sang Sheng smiled, "Looks like she really likes your gift. Let her play here for a while."
Su Ping nodded in agreement.
After everyone had left, he finally made a call to Dong Muchun.
Not long after, the missing people reappeared.
"Is the reception done? Are there any other instructions for the Dream Heart?"
Dong Muchun smiled and teased.
Su Ping shot her a glance:
"She seems very satisfied, and the response should be good after the release. How are the preparations going with Pingyun Corporation?"
"The first batch of Dream Hearts is ready, and we're waiting for your connection to proceed. But I'm still hesitating about the launch strategy."
Su Ping raised an eyebrow.
He wasn't very familiar with commercial operations, so he couldn't offer any specific advice at the moment.
However, Dong Muchun's suggestion made sense.
The production capacity of the Dream Heart was limited, and while the cost of the mechanical helmet was one aspect, the main concern was the need for Fei Fei to set up the local area network.
Although the pricing was high, there were plenty of wealthy individuals in Dragon Country, and those who wanted to convert their money into personal strength were even more numerous.
As long as the word-of-mouth and hype were generated for the Dream Heart, there would be no shortage of buyers.
So, the launch strategy remained a question.
"It's best not to go with an auction. If we have the opportunity in the future, we can create a limited edition batch of Dream Heart helmets with special privileges in the game, and then we can sell them through an auction."
"But for a regular sale, it's better to be fair. We can just have people pre-order and queue up for the purchase online. However, we can do some promotion beforehand and see how the launch goes."
Dong Muchun nodded:
"That's a good idea. If we were to start with an auction, we wouldn't know the response, so it's not very reasonable. Since that's the case, I'll instruct them to start the promotion work right away."
At this point, Su Ping suddenly remembered something:
"Oh, right, has the Dream Heart advertisement been filmed?"
"We've filmed a short animated ad, but the realistic one hasn't been done yet."
"In that case, I have a person to recommend. Our classmate from Sixth Middle School, Yin Yin, see if she's suitable and consider her first." Su Ping thought of his previous idea, Yin Yin's temperament and appearance were definitely not an issue.
After all, they were just looking for a non-celebrity to shoot the ad, and it wasn't worth haggling over the money and exposure.
"Oh?" Dong Muchun looked at him in surprise, then nodded: "Okay, I'll take a look later. But if the major shareholder makes a fuss, I, as a small manager, can't refuse, right?"
Su Ping didn't bother to respond to this whimsical woman.
He turned his gaze to the two of them. He had already greeted them at the door, and he hadn't expected Ye Zhou to come along as well. It seemed like he wasn't going home for the holidays:
"Ye, how are you doing?"
Compared to Dong Muchun, Su Ping was more familiar with Ye Zhou.
"I'm free during the break, and I'm a drifter with no fixed abode. I thought of coming to your place, Su Ping, to mooch a meal. Is that okay?"
Su Ping laughed, "How could I refuse? I'd love to have you over. Ye, the theory you mentioned before is very interesting. I haven't had the time to try it out due to my tight schedule, but if you're interested, we can do some preliminary research together during this period."
It was clear that Ye Zhou had come with the same intention.
"That's exactly what I had in mind! I've found a few pets with the potential for atavistic evolution and ancient bloodlines. I came here to check them out with you."
"Oh? Which pets are they?"
"For now, they're just potential candidates. There's the Ivory Fang Lion, Leopard Stripe Black Tiger, Big Mouth Snake, and..." Ye Zhou listed them off, clearly well-prepared for this visit.
But Su Ping suddenly stiffened and looked at Ye Zhou:
"You mentioned the Fire-Eating Crow last?"
