Chapter 66 To All Ordinary Life (Additional Updates)
Zhou Ping explained: "Actually, if it had been more than ten years earlier, the price would have been higher. However, AI technology has developed too fast in recent years and has had a great impact on the entire industry.
"In industries such as painting and modeling, not only have a large number of people lost their jobs, but the prices of these materials have also generally dropped a lot due to the impact of AI. For example, an original painting that could sell for 5,000 now only sells for 2,000. Originally, it sold for 2,000.
An original painting that sells for 500 yuan may not be wanted now if it is given away for free.
"Of course, this is just the quotation we give to the outside world. It's hard to say how many copies we can actually sell.
"But if I'm optimistic, it shouldn't be a problem to earn you tens of thousands of pocket money every month."
Lu Zhixing nodded: "Well, that's already a lot."
There are also some other notes on the quotation. For example, if you are a member of the same group, you can buy it at a 50% discount. This is considered a kind of intra-group benefit.
Of course, if Lu Zhixing wants to buy various resources from other people in the group, the price will also be half price.
In addition, Lu Zhixing noticed that after the cash selling price of these resources, there was a column: additional resource quota.
The value in this column is much smaller than cash, with the highest number reaching single digits.
Lu Zhixing was a little surprised: "Can the resource quota be exchanged?"
Previously, the available resource quota for Level 1 internal testing authority given by Professor He Cheng was 300 points, but Lu Zhixing used up thousands of points to produce "Ordinary Life". The other 700 resource quotas are temporarily considered to be from the second research team.
Borrowed.
Lu Zhixing can get some resource quota rewards when using these resources for research, but not too much, so the current resource quota is still negative.
Although Level 1 internal beta authority can get 300 resource points every month, Lu Zhixing still needs to continue to make more games and generate more materials. His output speed is too fast and it is not enough.
Compared with money, his need for resource quota is more urgent.
Zhou Yiping nodded: "Yes, in fact, within the research group, money and resource quotas can also be interchanged to a certain extent.
"Note that this is to a certain extent. Generally speaking, it is easy to exchange resource quota for money, but the reverse is difficult.
"You can consider lowering the resource quota price of these resources as appropriate, and encourage others to use resource quotas to trade. Or you can discuss with people in the group and use money to buy the resource quotas that they cannot use temporarily.
"That's about it. Keep this quotation. If you have any questions, you can come back to me at any time."
Lu Zhixing folded the quotation and put it in his arms: "Okay, Team Leader Zhou."
Zhou Ping continued: "The second thing is that the official attaches great importance to the resources provided by you and the game "Ordinary Life". As a reward, you have obtained ownership of a virtual space in the deep world of 'Taiqing'."
Lu Zhixing was stunned for a moment: "The virtual space in the deep world of 'Tai Qing'? What's the difference between that and the editor that usually creates resources?"
Zhou Yiping smiled: "The difference is huge.
"In fact, the officials have been trying to build a huge virtual world in the deep world of 'Taiqing'. Of course, this requires massive resources and a long time of hard work. However, at present, opening up a larger virtual world in the deep world of 'Taiqing'
It is no longer difficult to create a small dedicated virtual space.
"I, Wang Yang and Chi Yue also have our own virtual space.
"Of course, although virtual space sounds mysterious, it is actually nothing more than a special area in a sandbox game. You can freely modify it to become what you want.
“This virtual space will be interconnected with all the ‘Tai Qing’ deep space resources you have generated so far. You can also invite members of the studio to visit at will.
"Many people regard it as a place to work online. With it, they can save a lot of money on renting office space. Moreover, it is not like traditional home office, which does not use text or video communication, but virtual communication.
Face-to-face communication in the space will not have any impact on work efficiency.
"For more functions, you can study it yourself slowly. Of course, the technology related to the 'Tai Qing' deep space is still in the internal testing stage after all, and there may be some unexpected problems. You can add me as a friend in it.
If you have any questions, please contact me anytime.”
After Yi Ping finished speaking, he threw a secret key to Lu Zhixing: "Use it to open your virtual space permissions."
Lu Zhixing reached out to catch it, looked at it carefully, and found that the secret key was similar to the authority key that Professor He Cheng had given him before, except that it looked more refined, with subtle differences in shape and color.
"The virtual space of the deep world of 'Tai Qing'... It seems that there are many things I don't know about the VR technology in this world..."
After Lu Zhixing thanked Team Leader Zhou, he left the research group and prepared to go back and study this virtual space.
…
On the same day that Lu Zhixing obtained the permission of the "Taiqing" deep virtual space.
9 pm.
A rental house in the suburbs of Jinghai City.
Qian Ziqiang finished his day's work, opened a bottle of cold beer and placed two side dishes as usual.
The roommate he shares the same room with is a delivery boy. He is still delivering food outside and has not come back.
Qian Ziqiang put his mobile phone on the stand and browsed randomly on the video website, trying to find a cooking video.
"Hmm? "Ordinary Life"? A worker simulator?
"Huh? Isn't this a game? It's not that or something...
"Has it been done so quickly?"
As a courier, of course Qian Ziqiang cannot always pay attention to new games on the official game platform, so it was not until today, as the popularity of "Ordinary Life" gradually went out of the circle, that the game video appeared on the homepage of the video platform, that he discovered it.
He was not sure at first, but after briefly searching for information, he found that the creator of the game was actually a college student from Jinghai, and many of the details of the gameplay were exactly the same as what he had said. Then he was pleasantly surprised and confirmed that this was the one.
A game made by a guy who experiences life!
And all the details that I and the little brother mentioned before that only working people know are actually incorporated into the game!
He was eating side dishes, drinking beer, and watching game videos.
Unfortunately, this game currently does not have mobile or PC versions, only a VR version. The fifth-generation VR gaming helmet is too expensive and he cannot afford it.
In the video, scenes of familiar scenes flashed by.
Construction sites, sorting warehouses, electronics factories, and many other familiar scenes in Jinghai City...
For Qian Ziqiang, he can feel something from these pictures that others cannot.
"Do workers deserve to be included in games?"
"Can you make money playing this game?"
These were two questions he asked casually when he was on the phone with that guy. He still remembered that the guy just smiled and didn't explain much.
Now, that little brother gave him the answer using this game called "Ordinary Life".
Qian Ziqiang knew that the other party was using this game to tell him:
Workers certainly deserve to be included in the game!
This game can not only make money, but also trigger strong social responses. It can really draw everyone's attention to some unhealthy phenomena in reality!
Therefore, as a working worker in reality, you should not feel that you are not worthy of anything or that you are destined to be unable to obtain anything, and do not despise yourself, let alone feel sorry for yourself.
There are always countless migrant workers standing beside you.
Qian Ziqiang drank beer while watching the video.
In the game, the strange yet familiar aspects of life have become the best food to go with wine.
Finally, as the game clearance screen appeared, two lines of text appeared on the black screen before the credits.
"Special thanks to Mr. Qian Ziqiang for providing inspiration for this game."
"I would like to dedicate this game to every diligent worker who pursues his dreams with both hands. I would like to dedicate this game to our extraordinary ordinary lives."
When Qian Ziqiang felt a burst of fog emerging from his field of vision, the game's producer list also appeared on the phone screen, and at the same time, the theme song of the same name from "Ordinary Life" sounded.
The melody of this song is very simple, but the melodious guitar sound accompanied by Lu Zhixing's humming still touched some emotion buried deep in Qian Ziqiang's heart in an instant.
"I am a person wandering on this road
“Can’t see the distance, but don’t want to sink
"Fragile dreams accompany me in the mortal world
“Try everything you have to make a living”
This paragraph starts from a very low level, with a sense of depression, especially the last sentence, "I try my best to make a living," which seems to have a strong sense of helplessness.
"I am the one who left my hometown with a smile
"I was crying and waving my hands to others
"The one no one knows, the one no one cares about
"In this city, just go with the flow."
After a short pause, the singing started again. But this time, the tone was a little louder.
"I just want to touch you gently and sweat every moment
"In that city, among the skyscrapers, a humble dream
"You and I, even if we have differences, are still friends on the same journey.
"One more glass of wine. Here's to you, friend. See you at the next intersection.
Like raising a wine glass to all ordinary people, the singing gradually reached its climax.
"When the city is sleeping, after the migratory birds return home,
"The speeding train passes by again
"Those who have nowhere to go, walking on unfamiliar streets
"You will hear the world shouting, calling your name
"Ordinary people, you can walk slowly
"There is no need to hold on to the time that has passed away.
"Don't bend down, try to raise your head
"Be brave and strong, live hard
"Ordinary person, I will continue walking with you
"No matter how many obstacles there are on this road ahead,
"We face the light and keep walking higher
"With the sky above your head, live proudly
"Ordinary people...
"Ordinary people..."
Along with the long humming, the sound of the guitar gradually became lower, and finally only the sound of gently plucking the strings and the gentle singing voice were whispered in the ears.
"Ordinary people, where are you?
"Remember there is someone waiting for you to come home
"Ordinary people, where should we go?
"Move forward, don't forget your dreams"
The lingering sound of this song made Qian Ziqiang unable to calm down for a long time.
After a long silence, a smile appeared on his face and he picked up the wine glass: "Thank you.
"I also respect all ordinary lives."
