「Inside the Heart of Cloud.」
On the top floor of the tallest office building, Su Ping sat on the sofa, while Dong Muyun lay not far away. Of course, nothing worthy of anyone's imagination had occurred between them. Su Ping sat there, impeccably dressed, one leg crossed over the other. Dong Muyun, lying nearby, was also neatly dressed, distinguished only by the large helmet covering her head. Wires connected to the helmet, and purple-red flashes of light twinkled across its highly technological surface.
A smile played at the corners of Su Ping's mouth. Indeed, merely ten days had passed, and Su Ping had already assembled a basic trial version of the Heart of Dreams. This speed was remarkable, yet, in truth, quite normal. The reason was simple: the Heart of Dreams, created by Feifei, could be constructed instantly as long as the specific settings and content were defined and there was ample spiritual power data. For instance, while some novelists might have ideas, they cannot necessarily write them down instantaneously. Feifei, however, using spiritual power, could materialize creations in mere seconds, or a few minutes at most. Within the super local area network memory built by the Mechanical Core, Feifei was akin to a legendary creator. Thus, after Star Vault Studio proposed some fundamental concepts and confirmed them with Feifei, the creation process began.
The gaming helmet was an even simpler matter. With the Mechanical Core, basic circuits were connected, and the entire process from design to production took no more than three days. The Pingyun Group's factories, all at Su Ping's disposal, naturally operated at peak efficiency. Now, Dong Muyun was undoubtedly the first tester besides Su Ping himself.
Star Vault Studio had also shown Su Ping their initial creative drafts. The game's content was exceedingly simple, as Su Ping's initial request had been for simplicity itself; there was no need for intricate plots or character-driven narratives. Maximizing the sense of growth and reward from defeating monsters and leveling up within the game's framework was sufficient.
Therefore, in the game, the players' map consisted of only a small village. Yes, just one small village. Within this village resided about ten to twenty NPCs.
Among them was Ah Ning, Feifei's Second Favorite, responsible for guiding new players and acting cute.
There was Ely, Feifei's First Favorite, responsible for maintaining and evolving mechanical Pet Beasts.
There was Ailin, Feifei's Third Favorite, responsible for all other Pet Beasts.
There was Xiao, Feifei's Number Four, responsible for the cool, arrogant, and complex task of issuing hunting missions.
And finally, there was Bobo, responsible for map teleportation.
Besides these, two other NPCs served as mentors for two additional professions—these were purely fictional constructs. Additionally, there were other NPCs selling equipment, potions, and various miscellaneous items. These need no further elaboration.
The game's content was equally straightforward. Players would receive various tasks from Xiao, then, in the blink of an eye, be teleported to entirely new maps to hunt enemies in diverse landscapes. These enemies were varied, and they dropped loot, including materials to enhance equipment. Beast Tamers might drop Evolutionary Atlases for the Cultivation and Evolution of Pet Beasts, along with the required resources. In a way, it wasn't particularly extraordinary. This game bore some resemblance to a monster hunting game Su Ping had played in his past life, though it differed in certain details.
However, any seemingly ordinary game becomes quite remarkable once integrated with full virtual reality 3D technology.
For example, at this very moment.
BEEP...
A crisp notification sound chimed, and a point of light blossomed on the mechanical helmet. Then, Dong Muyun opened her eyes and slowly removed the helmet. She let out a long exhale. She didn't even pay attention to Su Ping's subtle smile. Her phoenix eyes were filled with a dazed confusion and a lingering shock that had yet to subside!
Yes, at this moment, Dong Muyun experienced only this singular, overwhelming sensation. It was so shocking; the mental experience felt utterly authentic. Although the sparse plot resulted in little sense of immersion, the pure fun of adventuring and improving was truly captivating.
However, that wasn't the most important part.
What mattered most was that after closing her eyes and sensing for a moment, Dong Muyun realized her spiritual power had genuinely improved. Even though it had only been half an hour, an improvement that might be considered negligible for a Monarch Level Beast Tamer, it was still an improvement! It was entertaining, and it could also improve her strength? Improving her strength while playing a game... True, any interest could become tedious if it turned into work. But this was surely far better than just closing her eyes and dryly engaging in Spiritual Meditation, right?
Most importantly, someone as perceptive as Dong Muyun immediately sensed the terrifying business opportunities this device held. She also recognized the profound impact and shock it would deliver to all Beast Tamers in the Dragon Nation.
She snapped out of her dazed state and rushed over to Su Ping. "This Heart of Dreams... this is it? When it's released to the public, will the effects be exactly the same?"
Su Ping, unconcerned by Dong Muyun's shock, simply nodded with a smile.
Then, Miss Dong could no longer sit still. She began pacing quickly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window by the sofa. "Using this device purely for gaming for now is fine, but it seems a bit too wasteful. In the game, we could completely replicate reality, including advertising, promotions, and incorporating other elements. This could be an entirely new revolution..."
