The audience watched as a group of staff carried things onto the stage, some making beds, others connecting wires.
After a great deal of effort, they finally finished, and some people even lay down directly.
Everyone was a bit puzzled.
But after hearing what Xu Meng said, the confusion and bewilderment immediately disappeared:
"He's starting to stir things up again!"
"Seriously, you even managed to pull off a 'dream' press conference. Why don't you just say you're playing games in your dreams?!"
"I feel sorry for the employees who have to act along with Boss Xu."
"Are there any reporters present? After the press conference, can you interview the people lying down? I'm curious about their mental state!"
……
Everyone felt that Xu Meng was stirring things up again.
The barrage of comments showed no sign of "quieting down."
Almost no one thought Xu Meng was serious.
But even when watching a magic show, you have to cooperate with the magician's commands and guidance. Now that Boss Xu is personally performing for everyone, they definitely had to cooperate 100%!
Under everyone's silent gaze, Xu Meng took out the [Sleep Patch] he had shown earlier and applied it to the back of the necks of the 5 employees on the bed – from No. 1 to No. 5.
Afterward, the 5 people put on earplugs, comfortably lay down, and waited for sleepiness to wash over them.
The large LED display behind Xu Meng transformed into a scene of a raft drifting on a blue sea with undulating waves, resembling hypnotic white noise.
Time passed by, second by second.
In the silence where a pin could be heard dropping, the audience slowly began to feel that things were becoming absurd –
A Dream Building product launch live broadcast, watched by at least ten million netizens worldwide.
As a result, tens of millions of people were doing nothing, just watching 5 Dream Building employees sleep??
What kind of press conference is this!
Extremely low whispers began to rise again in the venue.
Many people even took out their phones, planning to join the online吐槽 (tù cáo, complain/roast).
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long.
— After learning about the existence of the [Dream Machine], these 5 volunteers had barely slept well for several days, obsessively indulging in this new machine day and night.
To cooperate with the boss's arrangements, they had also deliberately stayed up late yesterday.
Now, they fell asleep very quickly!
In less than five minutes, the green indicator light lit up on the side of the silver-white [brainwave signal collector] covering half of their faces.
This meant that they had successfully entered the dream.
In the scene behind Xu Meng, the camera quickly zoomed in.
Finally, it locked onto that thin raft.
The next second, a person with the ID [001] suddenly appeared on the raft.
He lowered his head, clenched his fist, and looked around at the ocean.
Before he could do anything, 002 also appeared on the raft.
Then came 003, 004, and 005 one by one.
Finally, all 5 people gathered on the raft, picked up the hooks, fishing rods, and wooden buckets, and began to work on their own tasks.
The netizens then realized that the scene on the big screen was not hypnotic white noise, but the [Ocean Voyage] hidden in Hill's easter egg.
"I believe players will not find this ocean unfamiliar."
Xu Meng spoke again.
"That's right, this is part of the Dream Building game world!"
"Now, as you can see! After falling asleep, these 5 people have successfully logged into the game world created by Dream Building."
"And the device they are using is the most important product of this press conference –"
Xu Meng walked to the side of the sleeping employees, gesturing for the audience to look at the silver-white brainwave signal collectors on their heads.
His voice gradually rose.
The audience looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to announce the name of this product.
But at this critical moment –
"Ugh ~ ~ ~ ~"
A loud vomiting sound suddenly interrupted Xu Meng.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that two of the five brothers on the big screen, [002] and [003], were painfully leaning on the edge of the raft, vomiting frantically into the sea!
"I... I think I'm seasick..." The brother with the ID [002] said painfully.
Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed on the edge of the raft again, vomiting violently.
But Lu Ming was a relatively traditional producer with relatively conservative thinking.
Unlike the psychopaths in the 'War of Kings' development team, who even made 排泄物 (pái xiè wù, excrement).
The game content produced by Lu Ming didn't have such unclean things as vomit at all.
But the [Dream Machine] was too special. The characteristic of "dreams" would add things that were not originally in the game.
Just like now –
Two brothers were leaning on the edge of the raft, vomiting mosaics into the sea.
These mosaics were not originally there, but were urgently added by Xiao Meng, who had been paying attention to the live broadcast.
Xu Meng was silent for a moment, then laughed out of speechlessness.
Finally, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Xiao Meng, throw those two to Wisteria City."
Xiao Meng immediately responded to Xu Meng.
The 5 people on the raft quickly turned into 3, and the two unlucky seasick people were teleported by Xiao Meng to the central square of Wisteria City.
The three non-seasick people were stunned for a few seconds, and then received a prompt from Xiao Meng.
So they continued to pick up fishing rods and iron hooks, fishing and salvaging supplies.
Xu Meng also continued the previous topic as if nothing had happened –
"The most important product of this press conference! The joint creation of Dream Building and the National Academy of Sciences, the crystallization of computer technology and brain science technology –"
"Dream Machine!!!"
"Just like its name, this is a device that creates dreams for you!"
"And we have gone a step further, creating a bridge connecting the dream world and the game world, allowing players to enter the game world through dreams!"
"With the Dream Machine, you will be able to obtain a 100% immersive gaming experience!"
"Because what provides you with the experience is no longer just code and telecommunication signals, but your own brain!"
"In creating fantasy and creating experiences, there is no more magical creation than the brain."
"And now, we have successfully allowed the brain to join this journey of creation with unlimited possibilities!"
The latest novel is first published on !
"Although this journey is just starting, but everyone, please believe me –"
"A great journey lies ahead!"
Xu Meng spoke with great passion.
But the reaction of the audience was not so enthusiastic.
They weren't even as excited as when he announced the [Civilization Sprayer].
Because everyone felt that this thing was unlikely to be real.
Even if Xu Meng brought up the banner of the National Academy of Sciences, it was the same – he had a strong background, and it seemed that no one could do anything to him even if he was talking nonsense.
Some netizens had even started analyzing:
"Actually, it's a recording, right? To make it look real, they even deliberately created an accident to interrupt Xu Meng's speech. What painstaking effort!"
"What painstaking effort? It's clearly malicious!"
"I already understand. The press conference should be in this order: real, real, fake, fake! Two real products followed by two fake products!"
"Fake! You can't fool me."
"If you can play games in your dreams, wouldn't you not have to sleep in the future? This doesn't conform to human physiology, right? I really find it hard to believe this is real."
"Common sense tells me: If there really is such a thing, it would have been hidden by the country long ago. How could it be taken out so easily?"
"Boss Xu's acting skills have improved. He speaks as if it's real."
"Alas, if it were real, that would be great!"
……
The audience was so scared by Xu Meng's previous strange, half-true and half-false products that they were completely disbelieving at this moment.
Even if Xu Meng was performing very hard –
"In order to allow more players to personally experience this era-defining product, we will randomly select 200 lucky viewers from the audience and the live broadcast room to come to Dream Building for a trial."
"At the same time, Dream Building will also launch an [Ocean Survival Competition]. The top 100 players who survive the longest can also participate in this offline event!"
"In addition, the top 100 players in the [Sky Arena] can also join this offline event!"
Xu Meng "performed" too seriously.
Making many players who originally didn't believe it at all start to doubt it –
"Could it be that... this thing is real?"
When Xu Meng really started the on-site lottery and launched a barrage lottery in the live broadcast room, the believers and non-believers had become a 50-50 split.
The two sides began to argue fiercely.
Even if there were players with keen senses who successfully caught the two seasick brothers with the IDs [002] and [003] in the central square of Wisteria City, and even posted the group photo on Mengjinli, it couldn't quell the dispute.
— After all, no one can prove that the five brothers with the numeric IDs are the five people lying on the stage.
……
As Xu Meng finished the lottery, the five brothers lying on the bed woke up one by one, and the big screen slowly dimmed. Everyone realized that the press conference had come to an end.
The audience was not in a hurry, sitting quietly and waiting for Xu Meng to say the closing remarks.
But after Xu Meng opened his mouth, what he said was not the closing remarks –
"The product launch conference ends here."
"But there is one piece of news that is not a product, and I would like to take this opportunity to share it with everyone!"
"That is –"
"The Dream Machine is not the limit!"
"Dream Building's pursuit of game technology is endless!"
"I once promised everyone: Every penny you spend on Dream Building will not be in vain!"
"So next, Dream Building will begin to lay out [brain-computer interface] technology! Continue to expand the possibilities of [games]!"
"If everything goes well, everyone will see Dream Building make important progress in [brain-computer interface] technology in the near future!"
Xu Meng's tone when talking about "entering the field of brain-computer interfaces" was similar to when he talked about the [Civilization Sprayer] and the [Holographic Air Fryer].
The same full of confidence and assurance.
But the audience was not so calm!
"Wait, brother! Everyone is still arguing about whether the Dream Machine is real or fake, and you're already starting to draw the [brain-computer interface] pie??"
"Do you even know what you're talking about?!"
