The Trickster's Ninth Episode

"Let me comment on your size! If I am such a conservative person, can I still stand here? Will there still be you in this world?" Yu Gonglian said angrily.

If he was so conservative, how could he give up the fruits of victory that he had obtained and reset the world eight times?Without this stubble, Yasen would not have been born as an individual consciousness.

"All right, all right, if you don't like the bad move, then let's talk about the middle one." Ya Sen didn't care about Umiya Ren's tone at all, and laid down on the armchair leisurely, and then continued.

"The best strategy is, don't get too involved in fan affairs for the time being. They are willing to love and support you. That's a good thing! What you do brings them satisfaction or joy or heartiness or empathy. They like you in return for this, and want to do something for you, and you can accept it with peace of mind."

"Other people may get used to it because of inertia, but we won't. Time is the best medicine. When the time is right, the industry is mature, and the resources in our hands are mature, we can break the status quo at that time , rearrange the relatively loose management structure, and give them the treatment they deserve."

"Didn't you just say that this is very risky?" Ugonglian asked back.

"That's in the long run. According to my estimation, this kind of operation model can still be stable in about two years. Isn't it good for two years of free prostitution?"

"Tsk! I only take what I deserve, pass. What's the best strategy?"

"The best policy..." Yasen dragged his voice, and sat upright from the armchair, his eyes suddenly became very serious with a smile on his face.

"Then we might have to do a little more...to change things."

"It is necessary for all practitioners to reduce the cost of operating in an unfamiliar language, unfamiliar customs, and unfamiliar policy environment. To lower the threshold for the entire practitioner, if this can be achieved, in addition to solving the problems we are talking about today in one fell swoop .It can even directly allow the Vtuber industry to have the capital to enter the mainstream industry!"

"..." Yu Gonglian didn't respond for a while.

"At this point, you shouldn't be asking me, why are we thankless? Why do we pay so much for this industry? Why do we do so much for people who don't know? Such a question, right?"

"..." After a long silence, Yu Gonglian's voice came from the phone again.

"Oh! Isn't the answer to such a question obvious?"

"Because I need them."

"Because I need this industry to thrive."

"Because they were dragged into this world by me to realize some ambition I don't remember!"

Chapter 91 Setting the stage

June 5th→June 13th/Saturday

Early on Saturday morning, it was supposed to be the time for the class meeting, but there were occasional exceptions.

The midterm exam officially ended yesterday. Although it is still early for the results to come out, there will be some ceremonial things after the final exam—such as the college meeting.

That is, all the students and teachers of Mitsusaka went to the gymnasium to listen to the principal's speech.

This kind of activity, of course, no student is willing to listen carefully.While trying not to be discovered, they are basically distracted thinking about their own affairs.

"Hey, Yugong! Help me block it." Jinghua stood behind Yugonglian and said softly.One hand was on Yu Gonglian's shoulder, and the other hand was holding the mobile phone almost against Yu Gonglian's back, standing very close.

"What are you doing?" Hearing this, Amamiya Ren subconsciously glanced at the position of head teacher Sadayo Kawakami.

"Swipe!" Jinghua whispered while holding the phone. "I'm Sheila's staff right now! Of course you have to keep an eye on the situation here!"

"Eh? You're unexpectedly serious!" Umiya Ren thought that Jinghua's overidea would be the same as the mechanical project... It can't be said that he didn't care, but the priority should be placed on [being a Good student] behind.

It turned out that this guy bet more enthusiasm on overidea than Amamiya Ren imagined!

"Of course! Anyway, help me block it."

"Are you sure you want to play with your mobile phone under your father's nose?" Yu Gonglian glanced at the head of the school on the podium. Normally, standing on the podium, even if you really have no corresponding plans, you will subconsciously stand in the crowd Let me pay attention to my son by the way, shall I?

"It's okay, my dad is very serious when he speaks on stage, and to be honest, he doesn't talk much to the students, but mostly to the teachers." Jinghua waved his hand casually , completely unconcerned.

"Okay. But let's say it first, I'm just helping you block, I won't help you watch the wind, you should pay attention to the teacher yourself." Yu Gonglian shrugged and said.

"Huh? If you help me out, just help me out. Or is there anything else you want to do?" Jinghua asked strangely.

"That's right! I'm going to be in a daze." Amamiya Lian said confidently.

"Tsk! You guys didn't stay up late yesterday, did you?" Jinghua said helplessly, his expression collapsed.

"That's not true. But in this kind of scene, the time to concentrate will pass very slowly, so it's better to be in a daze."

Yu Gonglian didn't lie to Jinghua, he really planned to be in a daze.But it's not to let her mind go blank, on the contrary, Amamiya Ren is thinking about some things very seriously.

It's about the thing I talked to Yasen last night.

The best policy that Yasen mentioned is to lower the entry threshold and lower operating costs, so that Vtuber can be displayed in front of the world and become a mainstream industry. It is necessary to make the industry flourish and fundamentally change the foundation of the industry.It's easy to say, but very difficult to realize.

Leaving aside the more precise concept of [virtual anchor], [virtual] is just a side topic in today's world. It is human's imagination of the future world, and it is a science fiction that people like to talk about, but after all, it is not about entering the world. things in public life.

In this world, the so-called mainstream must be closely related to people's lives, and this just keeps the so-called "virtual" out of the door.

People chasing virtual reality must only meet their survival needs and economic foundation. Chasing virtual reality is a kind of spiritual satisfaction just like chasing traditional entertainment.In a sense, it is a luxury.

In particular, this [luxury] has to be further screened by people's different preferences, and if it is not mainstream, it will only become a niche among the niche.

Some people like the illusion of virtuality, while others pursue the reality of reality, but no matter which aspect they focus on, they are essentially pursuing beauty.

But if one puts one's position on the basis of "existing beauty", people will inevitably start to seek truth in it.That is a kind of vision, and it is also a further spiritual need. If you get something good, you will pursue better things, that's all.

Perfection does not exist, but if conditions permit, we will gradually pursue perfection bit by bit.

The so-called "truth", this cognition comes from public aesthetics and superiority to oneself.

For example, suppose there are two kinds of housekeeping robots in the future, their functions and performance are exactly the same, but the appearance of one is an iron box with a customized appearance, and the appearance of the other is a humanoid with a customized appearance.So in people's minds, it must be that humanoid robots are more advanced.

If the details in this case are modified, a robot can be deformed, have higher efficiency and stronger functions in housework, and can break through the shackles of human bones and joints.But humanoid robots will still be more [advanced] robots in people's minds.

In other words, no matter what function or appearance a robot has.When it is pushed into the public's field of vision as a commodity, its evolutionary direction in appearance must become more and more human-like, which is an inevitable trend.

The principle is very simple, that is, after satisfying the basic survival needs, there is more spiritual satisfaction on top of it.

It is in line with one's own life, coincides with one's own cognition, and is similar to one's own appearance. The more something fits these conditions, the more real it will be for a person.

When [beautiful] and [virtual] are satisfied at the same time, people will start to pursue this sense of reality.

Therefore, if Vtuber wants to break through the existing shackles, it must be in line with reality.But the balance between the two needs to be carefully considered.

Of course, you can think about the balance later, including connecting with reality. The former is a further step after entering the mainstream, and the latter is the cornerstone of being on an equal footing with traditional entertainment, and neither is the current priority.

The current problem is to reduce the difficulty and cost of employment, and... to get out of the circle.

To solve these two problems, there is no doubt that the key lies in the platform. In addition, there is another mountain - language.

The second half of the chat yesterday was all about this aspect. First find out what you need, and then think about how to get what you need.

The most important thing is the platform. If you want to do a big job, of course you can't dance in the palm of others.

So there is only one answer - complete immersion technology.

"So, to what extent can full immersion be achieved at present? When will the equipment equipped with technology be simplified? To what extent can it be simplified? To what extent can full immersion be achieved in future expectations? What is the expectation for technological upgrading? ?”

"Also, what is it that fully immerses in this era to overcome the existing technological difficulties? How much technology does the Yasen Group currently hold? What are the things that can be used as trump cards?"

"...By the way, is there a place to get stuck?"

"Tell me all."

Chapter 92 Wedding Invitation

So, why isn't "Digital Gods" online yet?

No matter how many ideas and means, if the tools are not ready, it is just nonsense.

Making the fully immersion helmet as a platform recognized and used by more people is the cornerstone of the whole plan.But the current fully submerged carrier is still too bulky.

Although it is possible to skip the more cumbersome game compartment, or the style of medium and large game consoles, the helmet is still far from being portable.

VR is different from MR. It requires users to block all perception of reality and go to another world. No matter how you think about it, it is a complete luxury.If you are dragged down by the equipment again, then you can't even think about fighting with reality.

Unless this world becomes a highly integrated human-computer society like cyberpunk, or evolves to the point where the human body can directly pass through both sides of reality and data.

In this absurd world where [cognition] is real, it is indeed possible to do such a thing.But even if it could be done, Ren Yugong wouldn't do it.He has no interest in interfering with the general direction of the world's future development. Although the emergence of complete immersion will inevitably affect the subsequent direction of the technology tree, it is force majeure. Even if Ren Amamiya doesn't care about it, this technology will be pointed out by Kayaba Akihiko sooner or later.

In short, all matters in this area are currently left to Yasen to handle, and the promotion of virtual reality has a long way to go.

And Yu Gonglian can't continue to relax as she does now, she needs to have some plans.

...Why did Ren Amamiya feel like she was being fooled by Yasen?Isn't he personal?Why bother with these things?

"Then, this is the new teacher who will be working in our school, Mr. Takuto Maruki. He will be in charge of everyone's ethics courses, and at the same time, he will also share some psychological counseling for students that was originally in charge of by Mr. Yuzuki."

Just when Yu Gonglian was thinking about whether it was a loss for her to take the initiative to take the job, the speech of the head of the school drew his attention.

To be precise, it was the name in the academy's long story that caught his attention.

Takuto Maruki.

Ren Amamiya suddenly raised her head and looked at the podium. Takuto Maruki, who was wearing a white coat and had a very shy smile on his face, was taking over the position of dean and stood in front of the podium, planning to speak into the microphone.

Maruki Takuto is a psychological counselor, not a teacher, and has his own academic research.In the original direction, it was due to Takumi Kamoshida's change of heart that led to the exposure of campus violence. In order to suppress the voices of those oppressed students, he was hired to Shujin Private Academy.Moreover, he was doing it for his own research at that time, so it can be said that he and the school took what they needed and only stayed for half a year.

But now there is no reason for Maruki Takuto to join the job!

Or... is this guy the same as Akechi Goro?

Thinking of this, Ren Amamiya suddenly looked at the student team of Class 2-A far away, but she didn't see Goro Akechi.

Tsk!Did that guy really just come back for a test and slip away again?

Unable to gather information from Goro Akechi, Ren Amamiya could only refocus on Takuto Maruki himself.

Although this guy used to be hostile to Ren Amamiya, he is generally a good person. Even if he retains the memory of reincarnation... there should be no problem?

Rather, if someone has a problem, they probably won't be able to live their daily life so peacefully.

Within the known range alone, there are Fools, Velvet, Saiki Kusuo and Yasen who have been paying attention to Amamiya Ren.

The V family is not counted because Ren Amamiya still has no idea what the current situation of the V family is. Although Hatsune Miku seems to have mastered a certain degree of supernatural power, it is completely impossible to infer in terms of combat effectiveness.

Thinking of this, Ren Yugong relaxed a little.In today's world, there is no power of false gods, and the other world is completely under the control of Satan Yael and the V family. No matter what the purpose of Takuto Maruki is, there should be no problem.

At this moment, Maruki Takuto on the podium finished his speech with a smile, and glanced at the audience seemingly casually.

Then it stopped on Yu Gonglian.

Takuto Maruki looked a little stunned for a moment when his eyes met, then he smiled kindly and walked off the stage.

......

......

"Long time no see, Amamiya-kun." In the sports group office, which is where the teachers of the sports group including Kamoshida Taku usually stay, Maruki Takuto smiled and greeted Amamiya Ren who walked into the room. "Want some candy? I brought a lot."
