209、Indiscriminate

A new product launch conference on virtual equipment is being held in the large conference room of Osborne Building.

Whether it is Osborne's cooperation with the Fantastic Four or the emergence of new virtual devices, it is extremely eye-catching, so even though Osborne Group arranged the largest conference room, the venue was still full of crowds.

In the middle of the conference room, there are virtual reality equipment developed and produced by Reed Richards.

Unlike the virtual helmets made by Craft, the virtual equipment made by Reed is in the shape of an ecological cabin.

It’s not that Reed Richards can’t make helmet-type virtual equipment, nor that it’s to differentiate it from Dream Company’s products. It’s simply that Reed cannot control the price of helmet-type virtual equipment to the same as that of Dream Edition.

Craft has a lot of unscientific means to compress costs, and his main purpose is to find playmates for Alare, so he can sell virtual helmets at a low price at any cost.

But Reed Richards couldn't do it. Even if he wanted to sell it at a low price, Norman Osborn, as an old capitalist, would not accept it.

So Reed came up with a good idea, "packed" the helmet in the game cabin, and then added some additional functions such as massage, sunbathing, nutritional supplements, etc. In short, it is to make the virtual game cabin worth the price.

The spokesperson arranged by Osborne Group introduced the various functions of the virtual game cabin to the reporters below according to the prepared PPT.

As a genius, Reed Richards certainly doesn’t just copy it. Compared with the virtual game helmets made by Craft, the game cabin he made has its own unique features in addition to the additional functions.

That is, the exercise effect in the game can be truly reflected in reality, and the safety valve in the game cabin will automatically interrupt this function before muscle fatigue occurs.

In addition, this virtual game cabin also supports most VR games on the market, and the main game is "Star Wars", which is well-known to the American people.

Of course, the players who are watching the live broadcast are very excited about the content released by Osborne's spokesperson, but the reporters present are not so concerned.

It is not the first virtual device to appear, and the report is of little significance. Compared with such unexplosive news, reporters are more concerned about things outside the virtual game cabin.

"Why did Osborne Group choose to cooperate with Dr. Richards? Haven't you always cooperated with Dream Company very happily?"

During the reporter's questioning session, a reporter took the lead in asking.

"This reporter's information may be a bit behind. We have already stopped working with Dream Company in a complete manner, but this is just a normal business behavior, and their relationship is still very good in private."

Osborne's spokesperson responded with the rhetoric that had been prepared long ago.

"Mr. Richards, are you developing the virtual game cabin to avenge Mr. Stone?"

Some journalists turned their target to Reed Richards.

"It's not like this," Reed Richards frowned. He was not good at these reporters, but SHIELD had already made plans for him. "That thing was that Johnny was wrong, and I have no reason to hold a grudge against him."

"So why do you suddenly want to make virtual reality devices?"

"Because this thing makes money..."

Reed Richards smiled and spread his hands out in the face of the aggressiveness of the reporters.

"I think there should be many companies in the world that are jealous of Dreamland, right? It's just that they can't make virtual reality devices that match it, and I... can."

With three points of pride, Reed continued: "This is also why Osborne Group came to me to cooperate."

A spokesperson for Osborne Group cooperated and smiled and applauded.

Of course, such an answer cannot be easily dispelled by reporters who want to do big news, and they continue to make various sharp speeches.

However, SHIELD has made sufficient preparations, not only simulated a series of standard answers for Reed and others, but also arranged personnel among the reporters, and gradually used other topics to deviate from the trend of asking questions.

After finally dealing with these annoying reporters, the press conference finally entered the live demonstration session. All the players who watched the live broadcast in front of the computer were already impatient.

Let’s not talk about anything else, the IP “Star Wars” that is used directly in the game background is enough to make many players look forward to it…except for fans of “Star Trek”.

Five lucky people who were randomly drawn lie in the game cabin, and Osborne staff also projected the five people's perspective images onto the wall at the same time.

Since it was a test version, the five people were given different identities from the beginning: Jedi, Sith, cloned soldiers, Mandalorian mercenaries, and members of the rebel army.

The initial locations and races of the five people were completely different, and the old Star Wars fans who were watching the live broadcast were all excited after seeing these familiar scenes and characters.

Star Wars is already a cultural symbol in the United States. Even if the five people participating in the test are not Star Wars fans, they all know a little about it. They use the characters' own abilities and equipment novelly.

Especially the two who beat the Jedi and the Sith warrior, one with lightsaber and the other with the Force, laughing like a fool.

To be honest, the money-making ability of "Star Wars" produced by Reed Richards is probably better than "Dream World".

This is not only a bonus for the big IP, but also because the "Dream World" produced by Craft is mainly to find someone to play with Alare, and Craft stuffed many things in his dreams into it.

Although the game planners of Dreamland Company have made many adjustments to balance, they still cannot change the chaotic content of "Dream World".

Moreover, Craft did not make any designs in the game, and before that he seemed to be unique because there were no other competitors on the market.

Just as many players in "Dream World" were about to think about whether to play a different game, other characters suddenly appeared in the game screen of the clone soldier.

"Master Yoda? And C-3PO?"

Not only were the players in the game confused, but the reporters watching the video were also looking at each other.

They have also watched Star Wars, okay, how could these two characters appear on the Death Star?

"Dr. Richards, is this the plot of the Easter egg you designed?"

Osborne's spokesman asked in a low voice, a little dissatisfied.

The person in charge did not know the deal between Osborne, S.H.E.L.D. and the Fantastic Four. He simply believed that they and Reed Richards were ordinary business cooperation. The person in charge would naturally feel unhappy about this practice of concealing collaborators.

"No, this was not designed by me..."

Reed Richards denied with a confused look that even in the Easter egg plot, he would not choose such a weird combination. Isn’t it good to have a father-son joke between Darth Vader and Lu Zuotian?

However, what happened next shocked everyone.

I saw C-3PO actually took out a lightsaber and slashed against Master Yoda.
