After completing the tutorial, Yin Yin turned her head, which looked precisely the same as in reality. She smiled at the virtual camera and said, "Heart of Dreams is a completely virtual reality game where most aspects are simulated just like in real life. Plus, it has many special effects!"
As expected, that statement sent many viewers in the chat into an ecstatic frenzy at that moment.
Virtual reality? Watching and playing this game are two totally different concepts, okay?
From their point of view, Yin Yin was just playing an ultra-realistic game.
But if they were told that at this moment, the in-game visuals were indistinguishable from reality, and the player's experience was exactly the same as in real life, then the implications would be entirely different.
Suddenly, a stream of chat messages flashed quickly across the screen.
"Where can I buy this game?"
"How much is the gaming helmet? If it's less than ten thousand, I'll bite the bullet and get one."
"I can go for under a hundred thousand!"
"No, this is too much to handle!"
"I found it, Heart of Dreams. Jianghai Pingyun Group just released a new ad two hours ago for this Heart of Dreams gaming helmet. But chat bros, I suggest you don't look... It's heartbreaking! I'm disturbed now."
"Holy sh*t, 120 million?"
"Alright, that's indeed disturbing."
"What the hell is this Jianghai company? Never seen money before?"
"If I had 120 million, would I still play some damned virtual reality game? I'd directly go enjoy the easy mode of real life!"
"????"
"Yin Yin's old fan passing through. I originally thought Yin Yin was joking when she said she was just livestreaming to pass the time, but she turns out to be serious. Does she really not need the money?"
"..."
The heated chat revealed that Heart of Dreams was certainly not targeted at the average consumer.
However, precisely because of this reason, Yin Yin's live stream popularity soared to unimaginable heights.
Who wouldn't want to see what a game costing 120 million is like?
Not just the regulars on the live streaming platform, but any ordinary person would definitely want to see it.
So this time, not relying on the platform's featured spots, nor on other big streamers for promotion, Yin Yin's channel reached the pinnacle of popularity under such circumstances.
Even within this short period, many newcomers had joined out of curiosity, hearing about the game costing a hundred million.
"Heard there's a game that costs a hundred million, came to check it out. Who could possibly afford to play it?"
"I don't understand. No matter how high the development costs, how can they justify such pricing? Can they even recoup the costs?"
"I just want to see, besides the virtual reality feature, what else does this game offer that makes it worth 120 million..."
The number of viewers in the live stream continued to grow, but at this point, Yin Yin had no idea what was happening in her channel.
She was still immersed in exploring the game.
She quickly arrived at her first trial.
The range of monsters she could face at her basic Level was limited.
However, her primary Pet Beast, Feifei, was of the mechanical type, and it seemed the game developers had a soft spot for them.
There was even a dedicated map for beginner-level mechanical exploration.
Indeed, compared to many other types of games flooding the market today, Heart of Dreams didn't have that much of an edge.
Leveling up by fighting monsters couldn't possibly produce any creative twists anymore.
In that process, no doubt many viewers once again started voicing their skepticism:
"A game worth 120 million just for the virtual reality gimmick?"
"I feel it's just so-so. I can play and level up on my computer or phone without any trouble."
"True, and besides, I suffer from 3D motion sickness. Even if I buy it, I might not be able to play. Forget it, I'm not buying."
"Since you're not buying, then I won't buy either..."
"..."
A bunch of people joked with each other, watching Yin Yin continue to fight monsters, level up, and gather materials.
However, in that instant, a ripple and a wave appeared on the screen.
This disturbance was not in the game, but in the small window in the lower-left corner, which showed Yin Yin's real-world camera.
At the same time, an indescribable sense of distortion caused the camera to waver.
"What the heck? I want to see Yin Yin sleeping..."
"Why did it pixelate all of a sudden? Can't a rich lady who can afford a 120 million game at least have a decent camera?"
However, just as many were questioning and ridiculing, some knowledgeable viewers had already started explaining in chat:
"This is the ripple of spiritual power, which normally appears when one activates their spiritual power. But Yin Yin shouldn't be using it in the game, so there's only one possibility?"
"Holy crap? No way, right?"
Some voiced their shocked skepticism.
But at that moment, Yin Yin stopped fighting monsters and leveling up. She turned to the camera and said, "Just now, my Beast Tamer meditation Level of spiritual power has risen from the Ordinary Sixth Rank to the Ordinary Seventh Rank! Yes, one of the additional effects of Heart of Dreams is to assist with meditation training! The game even increases your spiritual power faster than meditation..."
Her words caused an uproar in the entire live streaming room.
It also caused the back end of the unprepared live streaming platform Wormhole to go into a frenzy.
