Chapter 256: The Holographic Projection of the New Experience Store
The fourth floor housed the work area and Chen Mo’s rest zone.
This time, the work area was much more spacious, featuring meeting rooms of various sizes, a beverage bar area, and a lounge. Each core creative team member had their own dedicated VR gaming pod, and other equipment like drawing tablets and office computers had all been fully upgraded.
Chen Mo’s rest zone was a dedicated area, similar in layout to the second floor of the previous experience store, primarily designed to give him a space where he could think in peace.
This time, Chen Mo had also bid farewell to living in the store. He had rented an entire two-bedroom apartment in a nearby residential area as a temporary residence. However, considering the tight research and development schedule ahead, it wasn’t out of the question that he might still have to pull all-nighters at the experience store.
In principle, the fourth floor was off-limits to players. On one hand, this was to keep new games confidential; on the other, it was to provide employees with an undisturbed working environment.
Of course, Chen Mo also encouraged his employees to visit the first, second, and third floors frequently, interact with players, and listen to their feedback.
...
After the relocation plan was announced, everyone was very happy.
In truth, the location of the new experience store had long ceased to be a secret, and many people were waiting for its completion. The main issue was that while the current location was still barely functional, it was getting a bit cramped, and everyone wanted to move to a slightly more spacious office.
The players at the experience store were also looking forward to it. After all, with fewer than twenty computers on the first floor of the current store, it wasn’t enough for many people to play, and they often had to queue up.
Over the next week, besides focusing on optimizing the mobile version of *Minecraft* and the PC version of *Heroes of Might and Magic III*, Chen Mo also had to oversee the final decoration of the new experience store and the installation of various equipment.
The new experience store had three floors open to the public. The first floor was the lobby and the free-to-play area; the second floor was the paid area; and the third floor was the e-sports competition area and the holographic projection viewing area.
The holographic projection viewing area was a brand-new addition to this experience store. Chen Mo had ordered three holographic projection devices from the system, which were now being installed on the third floor.
The holographic projection devices were divided into three sizes: large, medium, and small.
The base of the large device had a side length of about 3 meters, covering an area of roughly 9 square meters, comparable to the size of a small apartment’s single room.
The base of the small device had a side length of about 2 meters, covering an area of roughly 4 square meters, roughly the size of a double bed.
These three holographic projection devices were not yet activated, looking like three silver-white platforms. If not for the borders on them, someone might mistake them for a stage and step right onto them.
Chen Mo smiled. “Want to play a game of *Warcraft*?”
Zou Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then said with surprise, “Can this thing display *Warcraft*?”
Chen Mo said, “Of course it can, otherwise why would I buy it?”
Inside the holographic projection viewing area, there were two specially designed small soundproof rooms, each equipped with five high-performance computers. Chen Mo and the chubby guy each entered one of the soundproof rooms and launched *Warcraft III*.
The other players quickly gathered around the holographic projection to watch.
Chen Mo and Zou Zhuo were playing on a two-player map. As the game loaded, the holographic projection activated.
On the large central holographic projection device, the entire map appeared in full view. They could see Chen Mo’s starting point in the top-left corner of the map, and Zou Zhuo’s in the top-right corner.
The two began constructing buildings, training units, and clearing neutral camps.
On the holographic projection device, everything—buildings, heroes, and units—was displayed in three-dimensional holographic form. It was no longer limited by the screen’s field of view; everyone could see everything happening on the entire map.
The other two holographic projection devices mainly displayed the situations in Zou Zhuo’s and Chen Mo’s bases, with each device showing half of the map.
In this holographic projection mode, everyone could see everything happening on the battlefield with perfect clarity. It was all laid out at a glance, making the watching players cheer with excitement.
In particular, the multi-tasking maneuvers that were previously hard to follow were now perfectly clear on the holographic projection.
Moreover, compared to the original PC screen, the holographic projection had a stronger 3D feel, making the visual presentation even more impressive.
“Hey, that spider of Chubby’s is done for, Chen Mo just chopped it to death again!”
“Over here, Chen Mo is secretly setting up an expansion base, and Chubby hasn’t noticed. Holy crap!”
“It’s over, Chubby’s in deep trouble again this round. Ah, why did I say ‘again’?”
Soon, more and more players were drawn over, and the area around the holographic projection quickly filled with spectators.
