Regarding Hong Dali, everyone had more or less heard of him. Hong Dali’s impossible ways of earning money and squandering were beyond everyone’s grasp. Nobody knew what Hong Dali would spend on, nobody could guess how he recovered the cost and was able to make a profit.
“Aye, how do you think Hong Dali profits? The 300 million that was invested in the game was just a small sum. It’s what comes next that matters. Do you think he added a little extra fee to the gaming chamber?”
“It’s hard to say. If we know what he’s up to, he won’t be called Hong Dali. I don’t think this game is as simple as it looks.”
On the rostrum, the five magnates were racking their brains thinking how Hong Dali could profit from it.
Hong Dali never liked advertisements. Nothing he did was covered by advertisements. If Hong Dali was willing to do so, merchants from within the country and overseas would definitely be willing to fight over it.
It was no exaggeration to say that Hong Dali’s ideas were made of gold. Everything he meddled in made pots of gold.
Prosperous Hong Dali, God of Fortune Hong Dali, Hong Fortune God, these were not just in name.
It was clear that Hong Dali did not intend to make money out of online gaming. Free games without advertisements were his style, his undefeatable luck…
Naturally, thinking about it, if everything was so crazy, nobody else would need to get involved in the business. They might as well pack up and leave.
It was a pity, however. The problem was, Running Dog would not finish introducing so simply. “Oh, of course, regarding online gaming, there is another game under development. I’m sure everyone has seen it.”
He continued projecting the video.
But something was different this time. “The gaming chamber combined with Dream Dota League was just one thing. The other is the Holographic Simulation Projection.”
In everyone’s eyes, what Running Dog had projected was a small solo room. It was big and empty, with only one person and one computer. But it was a little different from an ordinary computer. It was a computer without a monitor.
In front of that person was a huge holographic projection!
The holographic projection was projecting Dream Dota League!
“Ladies and gentlemen.” Running Dog’s voice was clearly louder. “What everyone is looking at, is what our Online Gaming Development Department has come up with! Holographic Simulation Game Projection Machine! The Game Machine will be able to display holographic projection for the games that belong to Young Master! All the games under our company works!”
Hearing that, everyone was astounded!
Holographic Simulation Game Projection Machine! Probably no one else had thought of it!
When the game chamber appeared, these business magnates quickly understood the potential!
For example, in the history of games, there were always card games.
It was where two or more people had a set of cards. The cards had different characters and monsters on it. People would then play their cards to take others’ cards, or their cards would get taken by others.
In the past, if it were just on the screen, it would not be impactful enough.
But if the game was played on Holographic Simulation Game Projection Machine…
When a card was played, the card became the character or the monster, and began fighting with the others, both players would be fighting like in reality.
It may not attract the adults’ attention much, but to the kids, this would definitely be a heaven-defying toy!
“Running Dog, what does Young Master Dali think about this game machine?” Quick-witted ones quickly thought about how profitable this could be. “I want to apply for an endorsement! I want to register a copyright for its related goods!””Me too, Mr. Running Dog. Help us ask Young Master Dali about it!”
Everyone present were elites in the business world. This would definitely be linked to e-sports in the future. If they managed to get the endorsements and copyright, when it became popular, they would gain lots of benefits!
In other words, there were lots of benefits following Dali. It wouldn’t go wrong!
It was a pity. Running Dog was here to deal them a blow. “Regretfully, gentlemen, Young Master said this is not for ads-selling…”
Everyone got depressed, mad, and pulled their hair!
It was not over yet. Running Dog projected again and showed a third gaming method. “Of course, Young Master always had an idea for people to connect directly to the game helmet while sleeping. That will allow them to enter games through dreaming. But this technology is still under development. There are preliminary results, I believe this will become available in the near future.”
It had projected a fully enclosed gaming chamber with wires and a helmet. Obviously, this was the legendary holographic game helmet that allowed people to sleep while playing games.
Everyone in the International Convention Center was completed shocked!
A new age! If this holographic game helmet became available, it would definitely be an epoch-making invention!
“My god, this Hong Dali. His technology is so much more advanced?!”
“This… this… this is robbery! Robbery! Advertisements, spokesperson, game-hosting, these are all necessary!”
…
Tianhai Military Headquarters, large conference room.
The Generals stared in bewilderment at the Holographic Simulation Game Projection Machine and mumbled, “Bureau Chief, isn’t Hong Dali’s technology too exaggerated? He even invented such a game machine?!””That’s right, this thing is too powerful. It would be great if I could buy one of these for my grandson!””I think so too, buy one no matter what!”
“This rascal.” The Bureau Chief shook his head. “Always so shocking…”
Everyone nodded. Seconds later, someone reacted in shock. “Oh yes, Bureau Chief, all the games under this rascal are free of charge, no endorsements or anything, how does he earn money?”
The Bureau Chief laughed. “If someone knows, he wouldn’t be Hong Dali” He spread his hands. “Alright. To be honest, I don’t know either. But this Running Dog is such a cliffhanger. He even talked about the Holographic Game Helmet. If this is successfully developed, that would be marvelous!”
…
Fuzhou Province, Panshan City, Mingguang County, Dahuang Village of Deng Town, in front of a residential house.
Dan Jingrou looked at the house and took a deep breath. This was the home of the poor girl, Deng Jiayun. As a girl with countless suitors, Dan Jingrou was resourceful—there was bound to be one or two hackers that could track one’s IP address. After several twists and turns, she finally found information on Deng Jiayun.
Dan Jingrou’s home was in Fuzhou Province. Although this was not near her home, about 200 kilometers away, but as the saying went, a journey of a thousand miles began with a single step. Since she had decided to follow Young Master Dali, she would try her best to do all she could.
She hesitated, then knocked lightly on the door.
The door didn’t open even after multiple knocks. An old man from the same village saw and shouted, “Don’t bother knocking, there’s no one in that house. She was so young… Aye. Poor thing!”
Hearing that, Dan Jingrou’s heart sank. Could it be the poor girl had already…
“Old Sir, little Jiayun…” Dan Jingrou held her breath and carefully asked. Little Jiayun has just donated a hundred yuan on the internet, did she…. No, it can’t be, it’s too fast.
“Jiayun fainted this morning. Her condition has been quite bad recently. It should be these few days.” The old man sighed. “It’s a pity. She’s such a good girl. Sigh…”
“Old Sir, has she gone to the hospital? Which hospital is it?” Dan Jingrou asked anxiously.
“I heard they intended to go to the First People’s Hospital of Panshan City.” The old sir said, “Head east from here, it’s about 20 minutes by car. If you wait for the bus, that will be slower. It will take an hour.”
“Okay. Thank you, Old Sir. I’ll get moving.” It was much easier now that she knew the address. Dan Jingrou returned via the road she came from, got on her car, turned on the navigation, and quickly found the First People’s Hospital of Panshan City. She stepped hard on the gas pedal and the car roared, leaving in an instant.
About twenty minutes later, Dan Jingrou was shocked when she entered the door of First People’s Hospital of Panshan City.
A big group of people gathered in the middle of the hall. A man who looked like a farmer begged a doctor. “Doctor, please allow my daughter to be admitted! She’s barely holding on. We should at least let her live comfortably in her last days…”
Hearing that, Dan Jingrou knew she came to the right place. But it was obvious Deng Jiayun’s family had no more money.
Deng Jiayun couldn’t even get admitted to the hospital to lessen her pain in her last days.
Money. All for money. Money was not everything, but one could not live without money.
Dan Jingyun gently pushed through the crowd and walked towards Deng Jiayun.
Just one glance was enough to make Dan Jingrou’s eyes fill with tears.
It was a scrawny girl. Her hair was almost all gone. Her eyes were closed and she wore an oxygen mask.
Her arms were very, very thin. Those were caused by the pain of the illness. A girl of her age was akin to a flower at full bloom. But the illness had caused her to be in this state.
Deng Jiayun’s eyes were kept closed. One could see she was fighting for every breath and occasionally frowning from the pain.
Her father was right, she was barely holding on. The clock was ticking.
