Zhang Siming was very anxious and quickly replied to Xu Meng:
"Boss Xu! I have time! Our competition is in December, and before that, there are only some training matches. I can totally participate in the intensive training!"
After sending the comment, he also sent a private message to Xu Meng:
"I have already persuaded the manager. If it really doesn't work, a substitute can replace me in the match. It definitely won't delay the competition!"
After sending it, he began to feel anxious:
Was Xu Meng still there?
Could he have already gone to busy himself with other things?
Could the competition be over before December?
......
Zhang Siming fidgeted for a while.
Until Xu Meng replied to him: "OK, pay attention to your private messages."
"Yes!!!" He jumped up from his chair excitedly on the spot!
After that, he quickly shared the good news with his fans.
And his success attracted the attention of other professional players.
They came to him one after another, asking how Zhang Siming did it.
Zhang Siming had already obtained the qualification, so he didn't intend to hide anything and shared the reasons he used to communicate with the club manager one by one.
— Basically, it was all kinds of boasting about the extremely high attention of this competition, and then describing the future vision and so on.
And the most crucial step was that he showed the manager a report:
[Dream Building is Creating the Future!]
This article, written by the well-known financial media outlet [Daily Finance], revealed the huge potential of Dream Building's new product [Mirage Game Kit]—
Many media outlets and netizens have vaguely realized that:
Dream Building is doing something big.
This big thing is not that they are innovating and upgrading VR games.
But that they are creating a brand new form of the Internet!
Several years ago, when the VR concept first emerged, it triggered a wave of fervent capital frenzy.
At that time, everyone thought that a brand new era was about to come, and VR would become a brand new human-computer interaction method, just like mobile internet innovated the traditional internet, and once again innovate the internet at that time.
Metaverse and Internet were all follow-ups to that wave.
But until now, these concepts are still concepts. Except for waves of chives being harvested until they lost everything, nothing happened.
But now, things have finally changed.
Dream Building silently came up with a mature, and even more advanced product—
The Mirage Game Kit, consisting of a somatosensory synchronization suit, VR glasses, and an omnidirectional treadmill.
I won't say that this set of equipment is perfect, but without a doubt, a real virtual world is already being conceived on this soil!
When the virtual city that Dream Building talks about is completed, the real (rather than conceptual) metaverse will appear in front of everyone.
At that time, both games and the Internet will enter a new stage.
There is a popular saying among young people:
"Gaming is a lifestyle."
Now, this sentence is still a description of a lifestyle concept.
But in the future, this sentence is likely to become an accurate statement—
[New game forms] and [new internet forms] are fused into one, becoming a common way of life.
Xu Meng said in an interview with [Game Observer]:
"Dream Building hopes to provide players with a more interesting way of life."
And in the eyes of a game developer, what way of life is more interesting than this?
I cannot evaluate whether this concept is correct or not.
But for what he is doing, I must fairly say:
He is doing an incredible thing, an absolutely great undertaking in the Internet world—
Reshaping the new form of the Internet.
And now, the seeds of this great cause have been born!
......

In terms of telling stories and touting concepts, the strength of financial media is second only to technology companies and entrepreneurial teams.
Such articles can only excite new chives.
Experienced investors will at most give a thumbs up and move on.
But for netizens and players who don't understand the capital market, the persuasiveness is too strong!
Especially those who have personally experienced the Mirage Game Kit, felt the immersive human-computer interaction method, and appreciated the sprawling urban scenery, they immediately believe in this statement!
Zhang Siming is one of these people.
He believes that Dream Building will inevitably change the future of gaming. If he wants to continue playing professionally in the future, he must adapt to the new form of esports as soon as possible.
He also used the same reason to persuade the club manager.
Other professional players said that they had learned a lot, and they also took this set of rhetoric to pua their own club managers.
Some of them succeeded, and some failed.
But no matter what, the streamer team for the Blazing Flame Competition is rapidly growing!
......
......
Huan Yue watched the limited 50 places for the competition become fewer and fewer, and slowly became anxious.
He originally didn't have the idea of "competing with retired soldiers".
But now that Dream Building is constantly pulling people in, he watched one unfamiliar name after another get on the Dream Building's big ship, and suddenly felt unbalanced!
— I was here first!
In a state of anxiety, he didn't bother to slowly improve the rules and hire people, but directly released the competition registration notice:
—
Brothers, you've been waiting for a long time!
The Death Bluffing Competition that I talked about in the live broadcast before is confirmed!
Total prize money: 530,000!
(Champion 300,000, runner-up 100,000, third place 50,000, 4-10th place 10,000 each)
There is no registration threshold!
As long as you can open "King of War" and sit at the tavern's poker table, you can participate in this competition!
Interested friends can now open the pinned link in the comment area and register.
Registration time lasts for 3 days, and registration will close at 12:00 noon on September 5th.
At that time, we will arrange the competition schedule according to the number of participants.
Welcome everyone to actively sign up!
—
In the past two days, starting from the poker live broadcast by Heroic Sniper, Orange Juice, Huan Yue, and Qi Huahua, the popularity of the Death Roulette has become higher and higher in the player circle!
But because Xu Meng did not provide a matching function, many people encountered difficulties in finding poker friends.
Dream Jinli refreshed dozens of pages, all of which were posts looking for poker friends.
Now that Huan Yue has come forward to hold a competition, not only providing poker friends, but also giving out prize money, this immediately attracted a lot of player attention.
Heroic Sniper, Orange Juice, and Qi Huahua quickly forwarded this post to help Huan Yue's competition increase in popularity.
With this multiple help, the registration form in front of Huan Yue was automatically refreshing every minute and every second!
Each refresh would pop up with a minimum of a dozen or so registration information, and a maximum of forty or fifty.
In less than an hour, the number of registrants exceeded 10,000!
Huan Yue licked his dry lips, feeling a little nervous.
He found group members who were willing to help part-time and was also prepared to expand the scale of hiring at any time.
But he also knew very well:
If the scale of participating players becomes large to a certain extent, it will sooner or later exceed the limit of their organizational ability.
The latest and fastest novels are at !
— After all, Dream Building did not develop a special competition system. The tavern for the competition is also a small space that can only accommodate three small round tables, rather than a battle platform on a computer screen where poker tables can be added infinitely.
In Huan Yue's psychological expectation, 200,000 people is almost the critical point.
One tavern has 3 poker tables, one poker table has 4 participating players, and on average, 4 games can be played in 1 hour.
So, he only needs to hire 40 people to host the competition for 8 hours a day.
(The game comes with a dealer, and the part-timers only need to cue the process, so the task is not heavy)
The limit of participating players that can be handled every day is:
3 * 4 * 4 * 8 * 40 = 15360
Considering unexpected situations, the actual number will definitely be lower.
But similarly, in actual competitions, many people will abandon the competition due to time or other reasons, so the pressure will be less.
With this increase and decrease, roughly calculated, the preliminary round of 200,000 people can be completed in two weeks.
This intensity is already very high!
If it exceeds this number, he will have to seek help.
— He can hire more people, but too many people will also cause other troubles.
So, his plan is: if the number of participating players exceeds 200,000, he will go to Dream Building for help.
Huan Yue has a wonderful intuition—
Dream Building will definitely be willing to help.
Thinking of this, he even hoped that there would be more and more players signing up for the competition.
It would be best to have a million participants, directly exceeding the limit, so that Dream Building would have to come on stage!
At that time, he could justifiably get on board.
Just as Huan Yue was dreaming, someone in the fan group suddenly @ him: "Group owner, something happened!"
"Look at this!"
Huan Yue magnified the screenshot sent by the fan, puzzled.
He found that it was a post from another famous whale on P station, [Mountain Ghost]—he also said that he would take out 530,000 to hold a Death Bluffing Competition.
Before Huan Yue could think about whether this person was mocking him, group members immediately discovered that the third whale had appeared:
[Electronic Music Edison] is also going to take out 530,000 in prize money to hold a Death Bluffing Competition.
Then came the fourth and fifth.
Huan Yue was dumbfounded.
What's the meaning?
I just posted it and you all posted it together, and you all set the same amount of prize money as me...
Are you sniping me?
However, after the water friends relayed the message, he found that these people had all sent him private messages, but he was busy studying how to run the competition and didn't bother to look at them.
He simply added all of them as friends and created a small group.
After some communication, the misunderstanding was basically cleared up—
Everyone was going for the title of [Honorary Player], and they were indeed inspired by his idea to hold a follow-up event.
To express their apologies, they specifically waited to post the announcement after him, and also set the same amount of prize money as him.
Huan Yue looked at these super-rich tycoons in the group sending words of "Sorry, sorry" and "Please forgive me", his mind turned, and he came up with a new idea:
"Brothers, since we have the same goal, why don't we join forces and do something big?"
"Something big?"
"What something big?"
The other 5 tycoons asked one after another.
Huan Yue quickly tapped on the keyboard: "Listen to me..."
...
An hour later, Song Zhicheng received a planning proposal urgently submitted by a dedicated customer service representative for major clients—
[King of War Death Bluffing Competition Six Province League]
"? ? ?"
Just seeing this title made Song Zhicheng's head full of question marks.
And the more he read, the more question marks appeared on his head—
"What is this?"
"Six Province League? million prize money?"
"Ultimate Gambling King?"
"What are you going to do?"
"Are you stealing my job? ? ?"
Please vote for the monthly ticket.
