Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

138: The virtual city ”Kunlun” has been released for global public beta testing!When Lu Chen’s ultimate declaration, filled with the indifference of a god and the air of Versailles, ”modify the laws of physics,” clearly echoed in the Pangu Technology CEO’s office on the top floor, Wang Peng, theFat who had just become extremely inflated from receiving ten trillion US dollars in ”pocket money,” was once again completely

petrified.

He stared blankly at Lu Chen’s calm, handsome face, feeling a bone-chilling cold that could freeze the soul, rushing from his feet straight to the top of his head!

Modify

the laws of physics?!

What kind of divine operation is this, for crying out loud?!

Chen Zi, he couldn’t possibly really think of himself as God, could he?!

A month later.

While the entire world was still immersed in the immense fear and unease dominated by Xia Country’s successive black technologies...

A terrifying

piece of bad news, enough to make all entertainment companies worldwide collectively go bankrupt,

quietly descended.

Pangu Technology’s Kunlun Virtual Reality Division officially announced to the world—

They would hold an unprecedented product launch event three days later at the National Convention Center in Jinghai City, Xia Country!

There was only one protagonist for the launch event!

That was—

”oasis”!

The first truly immersive virtual reality

game in human history!

Boom!!!

This news was like a supernova capable of igniting the entire Solar System!

It instantly set the entire global internet ablaze!

”Holy crap! What did I just see?! Pangu Technology is actually releasing a game?!”

”And it’s an immersive virtual reality game?! Is it real?!”

”Given God Lu’s personality, where he’d die if he didn’t show off, the realism of this thing must be at least

ninety percent, right?!”

”Ninety percent?! Brother! Your scope is too small! I bet it’s at least ninety-nine percent!”

”Hahahaha! Who cares what percentage it is! Just buy it! I can’t wait to experience the second life created by God Lu himself!”

For a time!

The entire world’s internet was jubilant!

All the ordinary players who had previously felt numb and desperate about their boring real lives!

They were all like travelers who had trekked for centuries in an endless desert, suddenly seeing an oasis of hope!

One by one, they all cried tears of joy!

Crazy with excitement!

They knew!

From today onwards!

Their damned, ordinary, and boring lives!

Would be completely rewritten!

Three days later.

It was still the same National Convention Center, full of futuristic technology.

It was still the same group of global media, full of curiosity and anticipation!

However, this time, sitting in the first row of VIP seats were no longer those bitter and resentful tech giant CEOs.

Instead, they were replaced by a group of equally wealthy but distinctly different

game company magnates!

Sony’s Kenichiro Yoshida!

Microsoft’s Phil Spencer!

Nintendo’s Shuntaro Furukawa!

All the super giants who usually controlled the lifeline of the global trillions-dollar gaming industry!

All gathered here!

Their faces showed no excitement at all for witnessing a new era!

Only a deathly pallor, as if they had just lost a parent, and

despair!

They knew.

They weren’t here today to attend some damn press conference.

But to attend the collective

funeral of their own vast gaming empires!

”Ladies and gentlemen!”

Just then!

The lights at the press conference suddenly dimmed!

The spotlight once again shone on that excessively young man!

However, this time, standing beside Lu Chen were no longer those cold, black tech products.

But aFat wearing a custom-made Armani suit, with a confident smile full of ”business elite” aura on his face!

It was Wang Peng!

It was Wang Peng!

”Welcome to the world of ’oasis’!”

Wang Peng spread his arms like a king embracing the world!

His face was filled with the boundless

ambition of a business empire founder!

”I know everyone here is very curious!”

”What exactly can our epoch-making product bring to this world?”

”Is it a more realistic gaming experience?”

”Or a more convenient way of socializing?”

”No.”

He slowly shook his head, a smile of confidence and pride gracing the corner of his mouth!

”These are all too childish.”

”What Pangu Technology wants to bring to this world”

”is an unprecedented and complete life

revolution!”

As soon as he finished speaking!

He slowly raised his hand and lightly snapped his fingers in the air!

”heavenly craft!”

”Activate ’Kunlun’!”

The next second!

”Buzz—!!!”

A deep and solemn roar, full of futuristic technology, resonated throughout the entire National Convention Center!

Streaks of light blue light, filled with a sense of science fiction, shot up from every corner of the venue!

They intertwined and converged in mid-air!

Finally, under the gaze of everyone’s completely stunned eyes!

An incredibly magnificent!

Incredibly real!

Incredibly full of Eastern mythological atmosphere, a floating

immortal

city was formed!

Pavilions and towers!

Carved beams and painted rafters!

Cranes soared freely in the clouds!

Divine dragons majestically circled above the nine heavens!

Even the crisp sound of the wind blowing through the copper bells under the eaves!

Was clearly audible!

”O-Oh my God!”

”Is this... is this a mirage?!”

All the reporters and game magnates from around the world below the stage were like a group of pitiful wretches who had seen a ghost!

They sprang from their chairs!

Their faces were filled with unprecedented, ghostly

horror!

And groundbreaking

shock!

They even couldn’t help but reach out to touch the cranes and butterflies fluttering around them!

Then, they discovered even more desperately!

They could actually touch them!

The softness of the feathers!

The lightness of the wings!

They were all so real!

So real that they couldn’t tell if it was reality or

a dream!

”Ladies and gentlemen...”

Wang Peng looked at the ”country bumpkins” below the stage who had been completely scared silly, a triumphant smile of a victor on his face.

”I am honored to announce to the world...”

”Pangu Technology’s first immersive virtual city in human history, built over several months at a cost of ten trillion US dollars—”

”Kunlun!”

”Starting today!”

”Officially open to the world”

”for public beta!”

He paused, took a deep breath, and then slowly spoke in a seductive, devil-like tone:

”Now...”

”Tell me your choice.”

”To continue living in this dull, boring real world full of pain and despair?”

”Or...”

”Abandon your fragile, pathetic bodies”

”And enter our new realm where you can do whatever you want and live forever?”

”The Realm of Gods?”
