_1 Chapter 927: Chapter 873: It’s time to pick up the fries!
_1 Jason couldn’t help but tug at the clapping Fred beside him and ask the question that was on his mind, “When is Yunmeng planning to venture into the movie industry?”
“Huh?” Fred paused.
They were off work, and everything that needed to be taken care of was taken care of.
Everyone had run over to watch a movie—an internal “movie night” at Yunmeng.
Planners, supervisors, and other positions from each project team could come to watch.
With Yunmeng’s absolute confidence in maintaining “secrecy,” this smooth information exchange was even more conducive to internal mobility and brainstorming.
So not only was Fred watching, but Randall and Little Chun were also watching.
The primary and secondary planners from each project team who could spare time were also watching.
Upon hearing Jason’s question, Fred pondered a bit and replied, “I’m not sure what the boss is thinking, but from my perspective, Yunmeng has absolutely no plans to enter the movie industry.”
Jason was puzzled: “With Yunmeng’s technology, they could totally mass produce movies, right?
The boss alone can make such a mature movie!
The time-consuming and costly CG special effects technology in the market is completely crushed by virtual technology.

That’s a real dimensional attack.”
“You don’t even need actors!
The cost is just one Mirage.
Get a scriptwriter, some technicians, and some background music, and you’re done!”
“It may even turn out better than the highly invested movies currently on the market!”
“Isn’t this picking up money?
Even if they don’t join the fray themselves, they could make a fortune just by licensing the technology!”
Fred, however, shook his head, “There are too many ways for Yunmeng to make a fortune.”
“Do you know how many shops in Virtual Xiajing can now directly sell real-world goods in the virtual world?”
Fred’s diversion left Jason blank for a moment.
After thinking about the scale of Virtual Xiajing, he guessed a relatively conservative number, “Ten thousand?”
“No,” Fred shook his head, “1,180.”
Jason was taken aback, “That’s it?!”
“Yes, because the auditing rules required by the boss are very strict, and there’s a corresponding elimination mechanism.
So after several months, it has only expanded from dozens of shops to over a thousand.
The profit that Yunmeng has gained probably doesn’t even amount to one percent of the Mod sharing platform’s.”
“So…
why?” This only deepened Jason’s confusion.
“Because for Yunmeng—or for the boss, to be precise—money has never been the primary goal from the start.”
Fred simplified things for him, this was the conclusion he drew from his own observations and thoughts—
“What the boss cares about more is bringing a unique experience to the players, and most of the time, the pursuit of this experience is happiness—though occasionally it’s something else.”
“But that’s not important.
What’s important is that: these unique experiences are the value that the boss wants to attribute to the virtual world.”
“The virtual world isn’t a money-printing machine, but a utopia that brings joy to users and value to creators!”
Fred’s passionate speech made Jason’s eyes shine.
He felt that Yunmeng really does live up to its reputation as the sacred land of game developers.
This ideal really touched his heart!
But while Jason was in the throes of his emotions, Randall next to them couldn’t stand it anymore and couldn’t help but interject:
“You’re just guessing all this, aren’t you?”
“Huh?” Fred turned to look at Randall.
Randall offered Jason another answer, “How much is a movie ticket?
How much is a game?”
“There’s a tenfold difference there.”
“One is for viewing and the other is for experiencing.
Which one sells better?”
“Of course, you could make money from both, but with the boss’s ‘more trouble than it’s worth’ attitude, unless he’s really interested, he wouldn’t even bother bending down to pick up a cash-cow.”
“I think you’re wrong…” Fred insisted on his idea.
Jason was a little confused looking at the two arguing and didn’t know who to believe…
Both Fred and Randall had been with Lincoln for a long time and each could bring up many examples, so naturally, neither could convince the other.
Checking the time, Randall noticed it was almost time for Little Chun’s walk.
Ɲονǥᴑ.сᴑ
So he halted the discussion and suggested to Jason:
“I bet the boss is just too lazy to handle that much.
If you don’t believe me, you can write up a ‘Movie Industry Money-making Plan’ and submit it to the boss.
Most likely, he’ll just throw the job at you.
You can try it if you don’t believe me.”
After speaking, Randall disappeared on the spot, going for a walk with his wife.
Fred also said, “I can also bet!
You try it, the boss will definitely not agree!”
“We’ll see, we’ll see…” Jason laughed it off and moved on.
He finally joined the Chief Planner’s team.
Tomorrow, he has to start making “Pacific Rim” into a virtual reality game, there is far too much work waiting for him, where would he find time for this?
Moreover, he doesn’t understand the film industry.
Only someone crazy would try the bet you two made and end up being sent by the boss to start a new project.
‘ However…’ Jason thought while leaving the company after work, ‘I do need to dump my stocks related to the film industry as soon as possible!
This can’t wait!’

The Yunmeng office gradually quieted down.
Yet, the virtual world, stimulated by a series of announcements, became even more lively.
In each Player Forum and game group chat, everyone is passionately discussing.
However, the hottest topic was “Battlefield”
Many players, who had been hanging around in “Chang’an” during the holidays, returned to “Battlefield”
The veteran players who were already fighting hard in the “Battlefield” decided to keep it up until the last second of early access testing, at midnight tonight.
The secondary aim was to commemorate the end of early access testing, but the main goal was —
To warmly welcome the arrival of the newbies!
——Newbies join the game with low combat ranks and only one bar on the shoulder, resembling french fries.
Plus, due to a lack of battlefield experience, they often get “farmed” by veterans.
Hence, the nickname “fries” gradually became popular.
Yi and Yelang, two disrespectful guys, of course, would not miss this opportunity.
They hurriedly formed a team and ran back into the “Battlefield”.
Without saying a word, they chose [Multiplayer Game] to start matching.
Matching Map – [Bloody Banquet]!
The moment they entered the battlefield, Yi quickly grabbed an airplane.
Yelang immediately began to observe his teammates.
Then he exclaimed with joy in the squad channel, “I feel like there are lots of newbies everywhere!
I see at least ten people with only one bar on their shoulders!”
Which means, there should be just as many newbies on the opposite side!
——In a 30 vs 30 battle, this ratio is already exaggerated!
“Very well, haha, let’s give them a welcome gift first!”
Normally, fighters should fly straight to the castle in the middle of the map to suppress the enemy and help teammates control this key point.
However, Yi skillfully manoeuvred the airplane to avoid the center of the map, planning to bypass enemy planes and head straight to their home base!
But surprisingly, the enemy’s fighter also chose to avoid the central point of the map!
“If you want to avoid, you avoid.
What’s the point of choosing the same side as me?” Yi couldn’t help but grumble.
“Shall we engage?” a teammate asked in the plane.
“Never mind, we need to maintain the noble spirit of air knights.
Let’s not fire the first shot!”
“Eh?”
With just one word, the teammate expressed his surprise and disdain.
Players on the ground rushing to the front line were confused, watching their own fighter and the enemy fighter passing each other amiably without firing a single shot, then ——
Heading straight towards them!
As the roar overhead got louder and the fighters began to rain bullets on the defenceless players exposed on the road, players on the ground scrambled for cover, cursing loudly ——
“What the hell!”
They weren’t sure if they were cursing at the enemy or the teammate…
