EARTH 2.0 Finally REVEALED
6:00 am Sept 27, 2030. Day 17 on Earth. 34 days until Launch.
As usual, Zhang Wei was doing his morning exercises. Spending 30 minutes exercising every morning will help your blood flow flowing perfectly for the whole day. However, in this modern-day, many people neglected the importance of having a healthy body.
The previous day, he watched a few videos on the net [equivalent to YouTube] and was shocked to see so many people competing to eat raw and dirty foods just to get famous online. They were willing to hurt their own bodies just to get famous.
What kind of world did he come into? After doing a little research, he found out that so many people are willing to risk their own life just to get a few viewers. As a result, he got some practical ideas for future use.
A few hours later he was sitting in front of his computer. Looking at AOSIS account one online trading platform, the initial investment of $20m became $87m.
The account will automatically close its position by this evening. After that, the real profit is determined. At that moment, he was satisfied with the account's performance.
Zhang Wei closed the trading webpage and started searching for Earth 2.0 information. Today, the Teng Company who created and owned Earth 2.0, a virtual reality, will release detailed information about the game.
The media has been promoting this game since 27 days ago. Media and game critics have been given early access to the game and 99% of them gave this game a 9/10 rating. As a result, their reviews became viral in a matter of days.
There will be a soft launch on Oct 1, 2030, 3 days from now. Players will be able to access the game through PC, XBOX, PlayStation, Nintendo, and the specially designed Earth 2.0 Official Game helmet which is sold at 700 Yuan each. This is the first-ever online game available to any leading game console platform.
On its website, it clearly stated that any player will be able to access and play the game through any leading platform which are the PC, XBOX, PlayStation, Nintendo, and the Official Game Helmet.
However, when a player reaches level 50, they can only access the game by using the Official Game Helmet. Any other platform will be banned after level 50.
Obviously, this is a marketing strategy. At first, players will be reluctant to buy the expensive 700 Yuan game helmet. However, after they played the game for a while and hooked up with it, most of the players are more than willing to spend their money buying the 700 Yuan game helmet.
If you have been playing this game together with your friends, you will do anything to continue your journey with your friends inside this game.
As a result, the sales of the official game helmet will soar after a month the game was launched. Another feature available to the players is that any player will be able to create 3 accounts. However, all of the accounts will be hooked up to or match your national identity card number.
As a result, it is difficult to scam other players using the extra account. When the victim reported the scam and verified, all of the scammer accounts linked with the national identity number will be blocked for 7 days on the first offense.
If the same player scammed or engaged in illegal activity and was proven guilty for the second time, all three of his accounts will be banned permanently. This is a very severe punishment for those who try to cheat in the game.
The game's official website also stated the reason for allowing a player to create up to a maximum of 3 accounts. They stated that a player doesn't have to delete his account and start over again to try another in-game character or job. They also stated that to create multiple accounts, a player needs more than 1 game helmet.
Thus, if a player wanted to create 3 accounts, he would need to buy at least 2 official game helmets. Other platforms will not be able to create more than 1 account. For example, if player account 1 was on a PC platform, his 2nd and 3rd accounts will be on the game helmet.
The player will be blocked from creating his 2nd and 3rd accounts from other platforms besides the official game helmet. After level 50, all accounts can be only accessed through the game helmet.
Obviously, this is to create a large demand for the game helmet. However, this is not mentioned on the game website. Anyone with a decent brain will be able to guess the company's marketing strategy. Zhang Wei knew about this, but he doesn't even care, because he has a lot of money.
On the last feature list by the game's website, a player will be able to buy an official game capsule. The capsule will match the human reflex at 85% compared to the game helmet at 75%. However, each capsule will be sold at 20,000 Yuan each.
This is a huge mark-up price compared to the game helmet.
With only 10% differences in human reflex rate, a lot of players skipped from buying this expensive capsule. Data showed that a player needs to spend at least 1930 Yuan per 1% reflex rate between the game helmet and the game capsule. Any average player will not be able to buy this game capsule unless your money is growing on the tree.
Though other people saw this game capsule is too expensive for gaming equipment, Zhang Wei didn't think so.
In the last 2 weeks, the official game helmet was available on physical and online stores, while the game capsule was directly sold by the Teng Company.
Two weeks ago, Zhang Wei instructed Ms. Lim through email to buy 1020 game capsules for the AOSIS Company. At first, she was shocked, the 1020 game capsule's total price was 20.4m Yuan.
What the hell is he going to do with these over 1000 game capsules!? However, after reading her boss's plans, she stopped asking questions.
Soon, she advertised 1000 job vacancies with a simple message.

Only shortlisted candidates will be called for an online interview.
Ms. Lim hopes that her simple online job vacancy advertisement will garner a lot of attention. If there are 2000 to 3000 applicants, she will be really happy. However, she was totally wrong, upon checking the email on the 2nd day, there were over 3000 applicants.
She was quite amazed by the response, and that is only the beginning.
On the fifth day, there were over 15,000 applicants and on the 7 day, which is the last day for the resume submission, there were over 50,000 applicants! She was flabbergasted, she never thought that there were so many people looking for a job.
"No wonder I can't find any suitable job before, it seems that I have too many competitors." Murmured Ms. Lim.
On the 8 days, she checked the email again and there were still over 1000 new resumes being submitted. At the moment, the total submitted resumes were 57352. She almost fainted looking at the number. How will she eliminate over 56,000 applicants and pick only 1000 applicants? This is massive work, and she can't do it alone.
Even if she brings a few people to help her, it will take them a few weeks to check on all the resumes. She decided to ask for her boss's opinion on this matter.
To her surprise, after a few hours, her boss Zhang Wei replied to her email with a list of 2000 recommended candidates and another 1000 reserve candidates. Her boss never stops amusing and surprising her.
How on earth was he able to pick 2000 candidates in just a few hours? She wanted to ask, but in the end, she didn't ask, some secrets should never be asked.
Ms. Lim might be so amused, however, Zhang Wei didn't do any of it. He stated a few guidelines to Alice. He listed the criteria he wants from the candidates.
By referring to these guidelines, in just a few minutes, Alice could eliminate over 90% of the applicants. If he sends the suitable applicants after a few minutes, Ms. Lim might drop dead. So, he only sent it a few hours later.
Soon, 3000 applicants were selected, however, only 2000 among the 3000 applicants will be called for an interview. Since so many of the 2000 candidates came from all over China, the interview will be conducted through an online platform using Video Call Apps.
Each of the candidates called for an interview were required to install a Video Call application into their mobile phone.
On the day of the interview, many of the applicants who called for an interview were nervous. Although the interview will be conducted online, it did not reduce the nervousness, especially for those first-time applicants.
