Dean Bai didn't react for a moment: "Martial Arts Holy Land? I'm afraid this is not easy to handle, right?
"When it comes to the hometown of martial arts, there are many in the country. When these cities promote, they will probably use this as a promotion. Jinghai has no foundation in this aspect, so it seems a bit forceful to insist on it.
“Besides, whether it can become a ‘holy place’ mainly depends on the people.
"As the saying goes, 'Mountains are not high, but immortals are famous.' If we want to build a holy land of martial arts, we must have many martial arts masters come to us, right? Then we are back to the original problem. I am afraid it will be difficult to bring these people together Please come."
Lu Zhixing smiled slightly: "Dean Bai, you don't have to worry about this matter.
“Anyway, there are only three things I need from you.
"First, when promoting the Jinghai Virtual City, label it as a martial arts holy land. Don't care whether there is supporting support or not, and don't care whether everyone recognizes it or not. Just promote it like this anyway. It doesn't need to be the main content. It doesn't need to be the main content. Just mention it.
"Second, give me a virtual identity permission to ensure that I have two identities and can use the vest to enter the virtual city of Jinghai.
"Third, set aside an area in the virtual city of Jinghai specifically for martial arts competitions. I think Jianghu Square is good. There should be a place like this in the virtual city, right? If not, Longtan Park will also work."
Jianghu Plaza is a famous landmark building in Jinghai and one of the commercial centers in Jinghai.
The transportation nearby is developed, there are many high-rise buildings, and the business district is enough to cover a population of one million.
However, the reason why this place is called Jianghu Square is not because there is any real Jianghu or martial arts story, but simply because the place where it is located happens to be called Jianghu Road.
In other words, although the name sounds nice, it has nothing to do with martial arts.
Lu Zhixing was not sure whether this place had been made into the virtual Jinghai City. If not, it would not be a bad idea to replace it with the familiar Longtan Park.
In short, don’t we have to find a suitable venue for a martial arts contest?
Dean Bai thought for a while: "Okay, since you want it, I'll give you both places! Jianghu Square and Longtan Park, these two places are not very far apart.
"However, Jianghu Plaza is a very prosperous and lively area after all, and it is also a very important part of the virtual city. You have to make something famous."
Lu Zhixing smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Dean Bai! Then I will make some preparations and send you the relevant plan details immediately."

Thursday evening, March 21st.
The lights of the first research group are still bright, and many people are working overtime.
Because today is an important node for the launch of the virtual city!
Of course, the first research group has also contributed a lot to the construction of Jinghai's virtual city. Whether this virtual city can succeed and whether it can beat other virtual cities in terms of popularity is what the Jinghai Research Institute and various research groups are most concerned about in the near future. .
This will not only affect the real rewards and performance of each research group, but also a huge honor.
Of course Han Qi was also present on such an important occasion.
Since the day before yesterday, the official platform has released news that major virtual cities will end testing and officially go online.
This can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, instantly triggering a huge discussion on the Internet.
Of course, there is no airtight wall in the world. There have actually been some rumors on the Internet before, but they have never been confirmed.
Although the government has extremely strict confidentiality measures for various research groups, it cannot stop some people from leaking some rumors online through various anonymous methods.
But after all, they didn't dare to release the stone hammer, otherwise they would expose themselves, and the confidentiality agreement was no joke.
Therefore, the previous gossip did not attract too many people's attention.
But this time, it’s official!
Players were very enthusiastic and quickly went online to make reservations and check which virtual cities were launched this time.
Of course, there are currently many domestic cities. Although each city has research institutes, the capabilities of these research institutes are also uneven.
It is impossible for more than 600 cities to develop virtual cities.
Obviously, the more developed the economy and the more prosperous the cultural industry of a city, the more advantages it will have in this regard.
Therefore, the first batch of open virtual cities is actually not that many, there are only sixteen in total, among which cities such as Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, Yangcheng, Jingzhou, and Jinghai are naturally among them.
And these big cities naturally attracted the most attention at the first time.
On the official entrance, the four cities of Imperial Capital, Magic Capital, Yangcheng and Jingzhou are undoubtedly ranked at the top, with the largest and most eye-catching promotional pictures.
Jinghai is in the second echelon.
There's nothing we can do about it. After all, these super first-tier cities with deep heritage are still not easy to touch. Jinghai can be ranked in this place, which is already very good.
At this time, there are only a few minutes left before these virtual cities are officially opened.
Han Qi and other researchers in a group could do nothing but wait. After putting the VR helmets at hand, they all looked through the discussions among netizens.
"Virtual city! Has VR technology developed to this extent now?"
"There must have been rumors before, but at that time I thought the news was a bit false, so I didn't take it seriously."
"I wonder what kind of virtual city it is? Can it replicate reality 1:1?"
"Of course it's impossible to replicate it 1:1, there must be big changes! It is said that the maximum number of people these virtual cities can accommodate is basically around 100,000, and the maximum can only accommodate 300,000. According to the real city Think about it, this is equivalent to a small county town.”
"There are 20 million people in the imperial capital, and it has shrunk by a hundred times?"
"What are you thinking about? Why compare it with reality? Previous games promoted the idea of thousands of people sharing the screen. Even some large-scale MMORPG games only have one or two thousand people on a server. This virtual city can hold ten people. Thousands of people!”
"When you think about it, it's indeed an exaggeration! But what exactly can you do in the virtual city?"
"Didn't the official explain that the virtual city function is still under development, so the settings are still relatively conservative. Basically, it is completely realistic. The physical fitness is strictly limited to the level of ordinary people, and in it You will also be injured, but you won’t die, but in the most serious case, you will lose the ability to move and need to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.”
"Then if some people are physically stronger than ordinary people in reality, wouldn't they be at a disadvantage?"
"You can also use the VR game cabin to log in, and you can use your real physical fitness. However...most people won't be able to use this function. After all, the real body can only be weaker than the default body in the virtual world."
"It feels like there's nothing you can do in the virtual world."
"It's still in the testing phase. The official will definitely be more conservative, but after all, it is a virtual world, so you don't have to worry about getting hurt. This is still obviously different from the real world. As for what it can do, you can develop it yourself."
So far, netizens still have many questions about this virtual city.
Although the official has written down the corresponding rules, some details can only be understood after players enter the virtual city.
Soon, with the opening of the virtual city, everyone in the first research group began to get busy.
Some people enter the virtual city experience immediately, and some people check the popularity data of each virtual city in real time through the background.
Han Qi was also looking at the background data, but his expression became more solemn as he looked at it.
"It's bad, why are our Jinghai's statistics so bad! It doesn't matter if we are left behind by Jingzhou, I recognize the imperial capital and the magic city, why is Yangcheng so much higher than us!
"If this continues, our Jinghai Research Institute's resources may be cut by more than half. It's hard to say how many of our research groups will be able to stay!"
A young man next to him was startled and asked quickly: "Brother Han, is it so serious?"
Another older employee was a little speechless: "Xiao Li, you just came here not long ago, so I don't understand your brother Han's character. He is just such a person, he likes to exaggerate everything...
"It's far from that serious. Looking at the current data...at most, each of our team members will receive a few thousand yuan less performance bonus next month."
As a result, the young man became even more panicked after saying this: "Isn't that even worse! What is going on! Our Jinghai Research Institute did not do enough publicity work in advance!"
There will be more later today
