Chapter 691 New Investment

Little New Year's Eve is here. I would like to wish all my book friends a good meal and a happy new year.

ps. The author has tenosynovitis and his typing speed is relatively slow, so the update will be delayed. You can wait for it to be refreshed later. It is just later than usual. It is not a scam.

This situation will probably last until the end of the year. After the new year starts, my hand will be better and I will probably be able to return to normal.

Please forgive me for the inconvenience caused to book friends. I apologize to everyone here.

"Are you ready? I'm going to start!"

A researcher in a white coat puts his hand on the button of a complex machine. In front of him is a monkey with its head shaved.

Luo Quan watched everything happening in the laboratory through the glass.

What is currently going on is a brain-computer link experiment, which means eliminating the joystick and allowing the brain to directly control the computer.

This technology was originally developed to help disabled people control their own mechanical prosthetics and then restore their mobility.

However, the monkey uses an implanted chip, which is considered by many to be very risky and troublesome to replace, so it has been questioned a lot.

But after the experiment started today, the monkey performed very well. It perfectly controlled the mouse with its consciousness and clicked on all the lighted grids on the screen.

0 mistakes!

Although it is inseparable from regular training, it also reflects the accuracy and maturity of chip technology.

"There is no doubt that this is a very promising technology, and our company's results are second to none in the industry."

Next to Luo Quan, a middle-aged man in a suit said to him with a smile.

The brain-computer interface technology in the laboratory is the industry of Dawning Company, and the middle-aged man is Minsk, the boss of Dawning Company.

Not long ago, he just got an investment worth 30 million US dollars from Luo Quan. Today, he happened to have an important experiment to do, so he invited Luo Quan to witness it together.

The purpose of saying these words is actually to see how successful the experiment is and to get Luo Quan to increase investment.

The success of Nikola has made the reputation of Luoquan angel investors well-known in the scientific research community.

If you have money, you will have few things to do, and you will have a big consortium behind you. If necessary, you can also make business suggestions or even work as a model. Moreover, you have hundreds of millions of traffic, and most importantly, you are beautiful.

Taken together, it is simply the best partner for investors, and you don’t even need to add one.

Therefore, when Minsk was looking for financing, it immediately thought of Luoquan.

Luo Quan also recognized the prospects of this technology under the system's advice.

However, the research and development of brain-computer interface is still in its infancy. At present, it only solves the basic information transmission from the brain to the computer. How to make the brain suppress audio and video and receive information through the chip is the difficulty that needs to be overcome.

Considering the long research and development cycle, Luo Quan only invested 30 million US dollars.

But today Minsk took her to see a very inspiring experiment, and it was all about this. It would be inappropriate if she didn't understand what it meant.

So she raised a finger.

"Do you want to invest another ten million US dollars?" This number is lower than Minsk's expectations, but mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are, and it is not just Kunluoquan who is willing to invest.

However, psychologically he hoped that Luo Quan would take more shares.

After all, who wouldn’t like a second shareholder who doesn’t talk much and can also take on a lot of traffic management tasks?

In addition, if there were any important matters to discuss in the future, he could also ask Luo Quan to meet openly and openly.

Although nothing outside of work can happen, it is certainly much more comfortable than facing a bunch of potbellied men.

Unfortunately, Luo Quan doesn't seem to plan to invest too much. Ten million US dollars is a bit low for this kind of technology.

"You misunderstood, I meant an additional investment of 100 million US dollars." Luo Quan saw Minsk being so cautious and corrected him with a smile.

"You are really my angel investor!" When Minsk heard this, a bright smile suddenly broke out on his face.

"Haha, but 100 million US dollars is definitely not enough. In order to realize the technology as soon as possible, you should quickly invest more." Luo Quan accepted Minsk's praise calmly and asked him to work harder.

It does require more effort. After all, if the brain-computer interface comes out, her plan for the World of Warcraft Metaverse will be almost half completed.

Although this technology may not be available within the next ten years, Luo Quan believes that World of Warcraft will definitely be popular for more than ten years.

And even if it doesn't become popular, it can pass through these ten years and become a beautiful and unforgettable memory for a generation.

When the brain-computer interface comes out, a large number of sentimentalists who have withdrawn from the trap may come back into the trap.

Of course, the current World of Warcraft is both painful and happy for most players.

When players have completed the exciting plot and reached the full level, the essence of the game has just begun.

Equipment drives the game, and the most important thing must be equipment.

But in addition, each profession in World of Warcraft is divided into two or three specializations, and each specialization has its own talent tree.

And these talent trees can often derive a variety of different schools.

Through the combination of talent tree and suit, a specialization can also perform well.

And this is before the orange equipment creation system is launched. After the orange equipment is opened for production, World of Warcraft will usher in a true blooming of a hundred flowers.

But that is for the next version, and it will take at least half a year to develop, balance and fix bugs.

With just this bit of content, players are already shouting that they are too excited.

After reaching the full level, the main storyline comes to an end temporarily. Players are only wearing blue equipment of level 60 or 70. It is difficult to defeat elite monsters in the wild. If you encounter a scene with more monsters, you will be beaten to death if you are not careful.

The ways to obtain high-level equipment are usually through playing 5-player dungeons, 25-person raids, and exchanging PVP tokens.

Fortunately for the former, most of the 5-player versions are not very difficult. After destroying the team a few times, you will know how to play after understanding the team destruction points on each map.

The group play is really torture. If you don't spend half an hour to understand the mechanics of each boss, you can't even think of joining the group.

After understanding it, you have to spend time and energy to get a high-level equipment, otherwise you will easily die from unknown AoE after starting a group.

Subsequently, this also triggered the first Bible of World of Warcraft.

Mengxin asked: "How can I quickly improve the equipment level?"

A high-level player in the closed beta test: "Let's play in the group book. There are awesome suits, accessories and even orange equipment in it. You can get it after you beat it. You can basically graduate from the European Emperor once you beat it."

Mengxin: "But my level is too low and too bad. The leader doesn't want me."

Gao Wan: "Then go and play in a group game!"

Mengxin:…………

As a result, it falls into an infinite loop.

You can't enter the group base without equipment, and you can't enter the group base without equipment.

Mengxin could only watch the big guys in the live broadcast get high-level equipment and kill everyone in the arena.

However, he is still in the 5-man base like a grandson, begging those who have produced equipment to give him the unused equipment.

Moreover, it takes about ten minutes to play a 5-man base now, and it takes more than 20 minutes to slow down. You may not be able to produce equipment, and the time cost is indeed a bit high.

This has also led to the problem of poor experience for many newcomers.

However, this is the case with MMORPG games. If the equipment is so easy for you to grind out, the life of the game will pass very quickly.

The pleasure of spending three to five days, or even a week or two, to get a piece of graduation equipment is one of the greatest joys that World of Warcraft brings to people.

Of course, some European emperors will be able to get it by swiping the copy once, which is definitely very happy.

In fact, it's just like drawing cards. Some people are lucky and get five SSRs in ten consecutive shots.

And some people, even if they don't ship even 500 rounds, they will achieve the ultimate non-chief achievement.

This is a matter of appearance. If you can't get it out, there's really nothing you can do about it. After all, you can't blame society if you point your back.

However, Luo Quan is conscientious enough, and at least he designed a pseudo-random mechanism for World of Warcraft. If regular equipment is not released more than ten times, the probability of delivery will be superimposed every time in the future.

To sum it up, no matter how dark your face is, as long as you can be brave until the end of time, you can always put together a good set of equipment.

It is also for this reason that World of Warcraft has been criticized and trending.

The reason why it is not a scolding is mainly because the server has just been launched and there have not been any thunderstorms yet. Although the players have grievances, they have not reached the point of explosion, so the words are relatively gentle.

And what everyone complains about is nothing more than:

The probability of equipment shipment is too low!

Can you reduce the number of probability increases to 5 times?

By how many percentage points does the probability of improvement increase each time?

Such complaints have also met with rebuttals from many players:

"To be honest, World of Warcraft is already conscientious enough. Is it really possible to turn it into a domestic MMORPG? If you just pay enough money to get full-level equipment, you'll be satisfied?"

"I'm not greedy, I'm not European, and I want the best equipment to beat up other players. This kind of game can only be played in dreams."

"The wealthy have advantages in any game, but World of Warcraft has minimized these advantages."

…………

It can be seen that many people are still very protective of World of Warcraft, but there are indeed quite a lot of comments about being too careless about equipment.

Fortunately, Luo Quan is a boss who pays great attention to player experience. After investigating the common voices of so many people, he asked the programmers to add a guarantee mechanism in next week's update.

Each week, you will receive a nine-square grid based on the type and number of dungeons you have played.

Nine pieces of high-level equipment will randomly appear in the Jiugong Grid, and you can choose one of your own.

As soon as this mechanism came out, millions of players in World of Warcraft shouted "I love Luoquan" in unison, because she said this during the live broadcast.

In fact, she could have arranged such a mechanism before the game was launched, but after thinking about it, she still did not add it.

why is it like this?

Because people like to compromise by nature. For example, if you say it is too dark here and you need to open a window, many people will not be willing.

But if you say you want to lift the roof, everyone will tell you to open a window.

The same applies here. It will make you miserable at first, but then adding such a guarantee mechanism will make players feel that the game plan is relatively reliable and they are willing to listen to players' opinions.

At the same time, after the liver level is reduced, benefits are actually obtained, which is a win-win operation.

However, this time it was Luo Quan who played the role of planner, and the effect was even better.

But as a World of Warcraft anchor, although Luo Quan's pace slowed down after reaching the full level, with the overwhelming luck of the human koi, he had already obtained a small set of graduation equipment in less than a day.

The level is not very high, but you only need to slowly play dungeons and accumulate points to move up. Compared with the progress of most players, this is already more than twice the level.

As viewers who witnessed Luo Quan's outrageous shipment rate that day, they no longer know how many "fuck" sentences were sent in the live broadcast room.

"On average, two copies are produced per copy. Who can withstand this?"

"What kind of luck is this? Why do I get scraps every time I play a dungeon?"

"Probably because the character looks good, the system master thought it was pleasing to the eye, so he gave me a few more pieces of equipment."

………………

"It's really good luck today." Luo Quan rubbed his hands and, amid a lot of sour barrages, called for a rally for the fans in the guild who were qualified to play in the group book.

"Today, the group leader Renbei Shengtian will lead a group tour. Places are limited, so come quickly."

Luo Quan changed the title of the live broadcast room and then built a team.

Although the equipment level settings were set, hundreds of people successfully submitted applications.

Luo Quan first looked at everyone's equipment, then discovered a big problem and asked:

"Hey, that's not right. You guys have better equipment than me. Some of you have even received group equipment. Why are you still applying?"

The barrage immediately started:

"Mainly I want to listen to the command of the regiment leader."

"Yes, please be strict. If someone makes a mistake, don't talk about quality and just scold them."

"Yes, we must have a good temperament as the leader and have all members address Her Majesty the Queen directly."

"Good guys, you are all jerks, right?"

"If Luo Quan is S, I would still be very willing."

"You want to eat shit, is it your turn to do such a good thing?"

"Wow, this society is really sinister."

………………

Seeing these inappropriate words in the barrage, Luo Quan also smiled helplessly and said: "I don't care what your reasons are. Anyway, those who have played in the group this week should not compete with those who have not. Wait until next week." Come again."

After saying that, he screened out all those who had already been typed, and then invited the remaining people in order.

Soon, the classic configuration of two tanks, five wet nurses, and 18 Dps was assembled.

There is no professional discrimination in Luoquan. Although some professions perform poorly due to numerical reasons or have not been developed, no one is willing to join them.

But here in Luo Quan, everyone is treated equally. As long as they are quick enough to be seen by Luo Quan, they are all invited.

After the group was formed, they entered YY. Under Luo Quan's order, everyone entered the Molten Core instance.
