Lin Lixin's new idea this time is truly too shocking.
Well, he does it every single time.
This time, however, it has once again redefined our understanding of the word "exaggeration."
Tokens that can be freely traded within the game.
Sam rubbed his temples, momentarily speechless.
On the surface, this matter seems to be no big deal.
But if he really wants to implement this system, then he can forget about having a single day of peace in the next few days.
It's inevitable that some connections will need to be cultivated.
"We need to find a professional financial team to handle this, otherwise the tax bureau will definitely make fun of us."
Despite the fact that after the collaboration on " Ace Combat," the official team and GAMENOVA are currently in a honeymoon period of mutual flirting.
However, if they take too big a step and go too far, problems can easily arise.
However, even with government backing, getting this done isn't so easy.
Once you get past the tax bureau, it's basically all smooth sailing.
To accomplish this, all you need to do is find a suitable financial institution to endorse it.
Lin Lixin had already chosen this person.
James Simmons, the King of Quantitative Analyses, the God of Investment, and the founder of Renaissance Technologies.
Good afternoon, Mr. Simmons.
Simmons was led into the reception room.
In fact, this was not the first time the two had met.
"I'm truly sorry about the Lockheed situation."
He previously acted as Lockheed's white knight, disrupting Simmons's plans.
He originally planned to gradually exert pressure to seize Lockheed for himself before breaking it down and selling it off.
But I never expected that such an unreasonable guy like Lin Lixin would appear out of nowhere.
Upon learning that the third party was GAMENOVA, Simmons simply chose to forfeit the match.
Winning or losing, it's not a good thing for me.
"Not at all. If I had known earlier that Mr. Lin intended to take over Lockheed, I wouldn't have interfered."
Did he ruin his plans?
To put it bluntly, that kind of thing is completely irrelevant.
Given Lockheed's situation at the time, his 5% stake was really not worth much.
Simmons's whole charade was simply a way to test his new model.
Being able to have this opportunity to contact Lin Lixin is a worthwhile effort.
Not to mention that the price of $40 per share was already slightly higher than the market price, so he essentially made a small profit by transferring money from one pocket to another.
People are swayed by emotions, but capital is only driven by profit.
When Simmons received the invitation from Lin Lixin, he knew that his decisive withdrawal from the Lockheed case had apparently brought him benefits.
"Is this the Token Mr. Lin was talking about?"
He reached out and picked up a small resin sculpture from the table.
It is shaped like a medal, with a pair of angle brackets engraved on the front, inside which is a slash, forming a ">" pattern, which has a unique aesthetic appeal.
It looks like some kind of IT industry code.
Below it is a line of smaller print: [24 Hours]
Twenty-four hours, too, carries a somewhat ambiguous meaning.
The back features the GAMENOVA logo, which is nothing special.
Although Simmons couldn't understand the overall design, Simmons could recognize what it was.
Barcode Battler is a new toy that GAMENOVA recently started promoting.
It overturned the monotony of traditional collectible toys that could only be displayed, cleverly combining them with video games.
Although opinions about it are mixed within the industry, its financial reports are enough to prove that it is indeed very profitable.
This thing has long been incorporated into the learning materials of various groups.
"Yes, in addition to this one, we've designed a card version that's easier to wholesale and cheaper."
Since it's a disposable item, continuing with the Amiibo approach is indeed too inconvenient.
"I see----"
Simmons nodded. "How is its price determined?"
"Each token has its own time limit. For example, the one you have is worth 24 hours."
"Will these items be scanned into the game and then allowed to be traded between players? Through some in-game currency that can be earned through gameplay?"
"That's right."
"Okay, we will provide a solution as soon as possible."
Simmons didn't waste any time and readily agreed to the task.
Lin Lixin raised an eyebrow, surprised by the swift and decisive nature of his actions.
Aren't you curious about its use?
That's not my job.
Generally speaking, developing a game usually requires them to first set up a development machine and then determine the underlying technology stack.
After going through various complex development processes, a basic demo can finally be obtained.
But this time the situation is slightly different.
"The following is the backend team roster: Gerald, Carmack, and Will. The rest are the frontend team."
Lin Lixin divided the developers into two groups.
Unlike their past game projects, this time they're making a proper multiplayer online game.
Therefore, the existence of a "server" becomes necessary.
Rather than making a game, "Screeps" is more like a large-scale dynamic website project.
Having experience with the " Pixel War " project, the backend design wasn't too complicated.
As for the front end?
Before officially starting construction, they had to employ a few subtle tactics.
Early June.
Users around the world, enjoying the wonderful online world of World Wide Web, suddenly began to receive a notification message.
[Online Update Push - Neus - V2.0]
[Update Content]
[1. Fixed several bugs]
[2. Improved browser stability]
[3. Added the NovaScript standard interpreter]
Looking at the pop-up window, Benjamin thought for a moment and then chose to confirm.
The update process is slower than expected.
Fortunately, I can leave it aside without affecting my continued browsing of the internet.
It must be said that the World Wide Web is truly a brilliant invention.
Without leaving home, people can see interesting things happening all over the world on the web.
In particular, the native cross-platform support of the Neus Browser is absolutely the most ingenious thing Benjamin has ever seen in his life.
Sitting at the table, he could browse using his PC.
If you get tired of sitting, you can lie down on the sofa and continue browsing using the console version of the browser.
It's a pity that the NS handheld console can't connect to the internet.
If the official Nintendo Switch releases a dedicated phone line peripheral in the future, I'll definitely get one.
I'll figure out a way to run a cable to my bed so I can browse the internet on my handheld console even while lying in bed.
Good boy.
Benjamin grew increasingly excited as he thought about it.
He had never looked forward to the future so much.
Imagine a handheld device that can play various movies and TV series like a VHS player, and can also be used to play video games.
If we could also get cable TV, that would be perfect.
"He's daydreaming again. Have he been watching too many sci-fi movies lately?----"
Benjamin shook his head, abandoning his absurd idea, and tried entering the URL of Robert Medical Portal.
"A travel blog about the Spencer Mansion? Interesting."
Websites that document travel experiences are not uncommon. Posting one's own photos on a website, leveraging the ability of World Wide Web to display images, is nothing new.
Simply scan the developed film into your PC using a scanner like the Hewlett-Packard ScanJetPIus, and you can try uploading it to your website.
To this end, NeXT also launched a specially designed scanner in official partnership.
Spencer Mansion, a filming location for Biohazard.
It's now considered a popular spot for social media check-ins in Denver.
Benjamin never had the chance to go due to personal reasons.
Fortunately, with the World Wide Web, I can now see real footage from there without leaving home.
The images don't load very quickly.
Each time the browser updates, it loads a line of pixels.
Benjamin wasn't in a hurry, after all, for today's internet users, this loading speed was already among the best available to civilian users.
This is all thanks to the fact that I live in California.
I got up to use the restroom, got a glass of water, and prepared some snacks.
After all that trouble, the first photo was almost loaded.
"Wow, what Turning-Around Guy did, tsk tsk, it would probably be disgusting to see it live."
The picture shows the owner of the photo posing with the iconic character "Turning-Around Guy a popular Chinese TV series).
She dressed up as a sandwich and laughed happily.
The photos below are still loading slowly.
However, it's already clear that he was taking a photo with another friend dressed as Wesker, posing with the Tyrant at the event.
"That's great! If I'm not busy this Christmas, I definitely have to go and check it out for myself."
I was just casually browsing around when the browser finally finished updating after about ten minutes.
Power off and restart.
As the NX startup sound played, the browser reopened.
However, Benjamin noticed the difference as soon as he arrived.
Or rather, it's hard not to notice the difference.
Due to the default settings of the Neus Browser, it will automatically redirect to the official theme page after restarting.
In the past, this place only contained text content that everyone was already completely used to.
For example, the basic rules and the numerous introductions on World Wide Web.
But this time it's clearly different.
It's like it's had a major makeover.
She looks better now.
From a roadside dummy to a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
Because CSS has not yet been implemented, beautifying web pages has always been a headache for Lin Lixin.
Now that scripting languages are available, he can try to work with HTML to achieve the effects he wants, albeit with some difficulty.
Although it's become much more complicated, at least it's usable.
Websites are no longer just plain white and black text like they used to be.
Instead, it features a clearly defined composition and a fresh, eye-catching color scheme.
[NEXUS]
[The world is within reach]
To accommodate users who still do not support color displays, the overall color scheme remains black and white.
However, many aesthetic enhancements were made to the black and white background.
The title stands out against a black background with white text, and below it are several options.
On either side of the option, there is a button with an arrow icon.
