At the end of March, the weather was warming up.

Although, like most northern cities in the country, emperors do not have spring and autumn seasons, there are at least a few days each year to experience the feeling that spring flowers are suitable for going out.

Assuming there is no wind.

The Pokémon World is about to be officially launched, which is just in the spring for players, adding another reason to go out.

And the better part of the season is that the major markets such as China, Japan, Korea, the United States and Europe are basically in a good time to go out, and the main countries and regions of the southern hemisphere are approaching autumn, and the weather is okay. Of course, the area near the equator… it's not that bad in an anomalous year.

After a period of publicity and warm-up, many players who bought matrix glasses are eager to experience this brand new MR game.

In the period between the launch of smart glasses and today, this brand new wearable smart product has gained momentum around the world, with an increasing number of people applying and developing such devices.

People with smart glasses can be seen everywhere in the streets of major cities, especially in densely populated areas such as shopping malls and where there are more young people, but there are also many children or middle-aged people who wear them.

Driven by matrix glasses, the vast majority of smart glasses turn off features such as camera and live broadcast of glasses, where cameras are used only to capture information within the player's field of view.

So, the concern of people without smart glasses about whether smart glasses invade their privacy has gradually subsided, and most people will face it with a more tolerant attitude when they see people with smart glasses talking to them.

In addition, smart glasses provide excuses for many strangers, and while waiting for buses, resting in malls, and shopping queues, some players with smart glasses can also play a simpler MR game with each other to spend time on.

Anyway, this brand new smart device is gradually moving into people's lives, just like the previous popularity of smartphones, facilitating people's lives and changing their lifestyles.

……

Thunder Recreation New HQ.

The entire structure of the building has been completely shaped, and it is clear from afar that this huge sphere and the surrounding thunderous structure are visible. However, this is still a construction area, so it cannot be accessed.

But there are a lot of people in the streets around here.

They were all wearing matrix glasses, chatting, waiting for something.

Lin Xue got off the taxi and discovered that there were so many people around him. He was also surprised.

“Wow, so many people! Are these all players waiting for Pokémon World to go live? Well, isn't that Zou Zhuo? He's here too! ”

Lin Xue snuck behind the little fat man and stabbed him cold in the waist.

“Wow!” Zou Zhuo shocked. Looking back, Lin Xue was smiling at him.

“Surprise me! What are you doing here?” Zou Zhuo asked.

Lin Xue laughed: “Don't you know that the new headquarters has not been renovated yet? What are you doing here? Of course you are waiting to catch the elves! ”

Zou Zhuo looked at the matrix glasses Lin Xue was wearing, and, well, it was also the developer's version.

“Are you on the air too?” Lin Xue asked.

Zou Zhuo nodded: “Looks like we're going to have a fight today between the anchors! Anyway... I hope to catch a Red Dragon baby here! What are you trying to catch? ”

Lin Xue said: "Well... a pea shooter, or even a pixel bird, I want to get an elf that is different from everyone else's painting style! ”

Zou Zhuo: "… well, let's go together! ”

Although the on-sale versions of the matrix glasses do not have camera capability, some anchors still have the developer's version available. Of course, these photographable matrix glasses are bound to severely restrict the identity of the user and will only be available to those who are particularly influential for certain special live broadcast needs.

For example... Live from Pokémon World.

This type of MR game also requires the anchor to run live propaganda, but because the special * * * * * of the device is mixed with the reality picture, the qualification of the anchor can only be severely restricted, and only a few anchor have this permission.

A lot of people gather at the new headquarters for Thunder Recreation because they get a little inside information in advance that some specific locations will refresh more rare Pokémon and the chances of rare items appearing will increase.

And what is a specific location?

Obviously, the new headquarters for Thunder Recreation must be one of the special locations...

Though no one knows if there will be a rare Pokémon, it is certainly true to come to this place to hunt Pokémon while the Pokémon World is in uniform.

“So we have 10 minutes to officially kick it off. I hear the game is global, which means that if you have a great elf, you can go abroad and play local pavilions and fight with a bunch of foreign friends.” Lin Xue waited for the kimono and chatted awkwardly with the barrage.

The client of the game is already open for download, so interested players have already got off the client well in advance and are waiting to start playing directly as soon as they open their clothes.

At this point, Lin Xue saw a little animal with brown hair and rabbit ears flashing like a squirrel in front of him.

“Hey, have I lost my eye? ”

Lin Xue thought she was wrong, but the full screen reminded her that she was right. There was just something flashing through.

“Look, heaven! ”

Don't know who shouted, Lin Xue looked up and saw a huge 3D art word appearing in the distant sky: 10: 00.

Not just the new headquarters of Thunder Entertainment, but also the iconic architecture in other cities around the world has a costumed art countdown that players can see when they look up nearby.

Of course, these countdowns are displayed directly on the player's glasses using MR technology, depending on the player's location.

As for the problem of time lag in different parts of the world… whatever, let him go. In any case, countries basically use time zones, and the guarantee is just a whole point.

Not just counting down, many players find that there seems to be a variety of Pokémon starting to appear nearby.

These elves are scattered and may take a few hundred meters to occasionally encounter one, hidden behind various buildings, or disappear as soon as the player sees it.

“Wow, that's funny! There's another one! There's one too!”

Lin Xue is like a child who sees toys, looking fresh everywhere.

And these elves aren't just in one person's field of view, they're algorithms. That is, Lin Xue and Zou Zhuo would see it if they stood in different positions looking at the same elf.
