Spiritual Sword, at the communication channels of the various servers—
Player One: “I’m not playing anymore. I’m holding a big sale, take anything that you like, I’m going to play Dream Dota! I only want to get some money out of this top-grade stuff, quickly come and buy them!”
Spectators: “These pieces of equipment are not bad, why are you selling them so cheaply?” “Yes, that weapon would cost at least 200 yuan previously, and you’re only selling it for 50 now. What’s the situation?” “Haven’t you heard him say, he wants to play Dream Dota. Is Dream Dota that fun? You’re throwing away all your equipment here?” “I’ve heard that it’s quite fun, but I didn’t really play it yet. Why don’t we go and check it out later?” “Yes, let’s go check it out.”
Very soon, Player One’s equipment had been all sold at one go, and player two, three and so on were all handling them in large scales as well.
Spectators: “What’s the situation today? So many people are selling off their equipment? And when I asked them, they said they’re all going to play Dream Dota.” “I heard it too. So strange. Why don’t we go as well to see how Dream Dota is like?”
Very soon, the curious spectators unceasingly went over to Dream Dota League. And when they saw the notices, more players started to deal with their equipment and moved over.
All of Spiritual Sword’s equipment was being wildly snatched at the start, but towards the end, nobody was interested anymore, and the prices started to drop at furious speeds far beyond everyone’s expectations.
But very soon, the words from the players selling their equipment had changed to this—
Player X: “Changing games... Brothers who want to buy equipment, quickly come and take a look... Big clearance sale... After selling them, I’ll go and play *******!”
Spectators: “You’re also going to play *******? What is *******?” “******* is *******. What the heck, **** has been censored, they moved so fast? **** is ******... What the heck, even the pinyin has been blocked? Then let me change the Chinese characters, Meng Dao Ta Lian Meng[ 1. The Chinese characters are pronounced similarly to Dream Dota League in Chinese]!” “Meng Dao Ta Lian Meng? What’s this?”
...
“We finally managed to contain the impact.” Qian Youjin’s forehead brimmed with sweat as he came back to report. “Mr. Shi, you’re indeed very experienced. You prevented the situation from continuing to worsen. But now the number of users at the server is still increasing, what should we do?”
This time, Sun Yuanzhou was already anxious and drenched with sweat.
This time, he could be said to have offended someone he shouldn’t have offended.
Speaking of which, he was really unconcerned about those who only had background and money. After all, his Sun Family was one of the five big magnates in Heavenly State. No matter how rich or influential the other party was, he could only tie with him at most, and the other four magnates would not take it lying down as well.
But now it was different. In the face of this prodigal Hong Dali, he was at a loss of what to do. Because he totally didn’t know how to deal with him. In terms of money, Hong Dali was indeed not as rich as his family, but now that Dream Dota League was rising meteorically, in the future, it was certain that the Hong Family’s strength would greatly increase in the future.
In terms of influence, it was even scarier that Hong Dali could get the Sports and Films and Entertainment departments to release a joint announcement!
His great influence, this was what Sun Yuanzhou was truly terrified of.
Yes, he was terrified.
But now, the two of them were already tied together. It would be impossible for him to separate himself from this situation. Sun Yuanzhou couldn’t bear to give up his pride and take the initiative to apologize to Hong Weiguo and the other two. Then now, there was only one way left—ally with the rest and fight desperately!
“Mr. Shiroishi, I’ll depend on you for this side. I’ll go to join forces with the other families at the chamber of commerce right away. It’s better than worrying over here!” Sun Yuanzhou wiped off the cold sweat on his face. He adjusted his emotions and pulled the door open. “Now that we’re on the same boat, I hope that Toyoda Conglomerate will lend a helping hand!”
“Mm, Mr. Sun, you can rest assured.” Shiroishi Kazuma nodded.
After Sun Yuanzhou had left the room, his initially anxious expression instantly changed. He looked towards the direction of the room where Shiroishi Kazuma was and sniggered, then he adjusted his clothes, got into the car and left.
After Sun Yuanzhou had left, Shiroishi Kazuma let out a long sigh, shaking his head as he helplessly said, “This Hong Dali, I’ve really underestimated him. Grasping ahold of technology is grasping ahold of the business world.”
“Then Mr. Shi, what should we do now?” Qian Youjin skeptically said, “If Spiritual Sword continues on like this, the prospects are worrying.”
“I’m afraid Spiritual Sword cannot hold on any longer.” Shiroishi Kazuma slowly said, “According to the current situation, its popularity will still rapidly decrease. Go and arrange for someone to challenge Hong Dali’s basketball team right away. Sports activities require concrete and genuine ability, this definitely can’t be faked. No matter what, attract his attention over there. This will allow Spiritual Sword’s side to cool down for a period of time. After things are stable, it shouldn’t be a problem for it to stabilize at 500,000 to 600,000 online users eventually.”
“Mm, understood.” Qian Youjin hurriedly nodded. “Then I’ll make the arrangements.”
...
Chenhui Building, the laboratory on the fourth floor.
“Mm, after I finish this line of coding, it’ll be fine.” Lin Chuyin inserted the last lines of coding on the computer, then she looked towards Hong Dali and asked, “It’s done. Do you want to try it out?”
“It’s done?” Hong Dali excitedly said, “Then I’ll give it a try. Hehe, this thing looks very exciting!”
Currently, they were making the last adjustments to the gaming chamber. This gaming chamber was approximately one and a half meters in diameter, and inside it, at the corresponding positions of the arms, there were two mechanical arms; and at the position of the legs were two pedals. At the top was a simply made helmet—of course, for the helmet, its development hadn’t truly started; after all, that wasn’t something that could be made within one or two days.
Now, what they were experimenting on was the corresponding gaming manipulation of the gaming chamber.
Lin Chuyin brought the entire technical team behind her along to be in charge of programming, while Hong Dali was in charge of testing—he could only do this...
After entering the gaming chamber, Hong Dali stretched his arms into the cover on top of the mechanical arms and stepped on the pedals—around a foot away from the ground. In front of him was a simple touchscreen, and on it was the game page of Dream Dota League.
Currently, the character that Hong Dali was controlling was the current most popular sword-wielding Galen, who was commonly called Demacia. Then, in Hong Dali’s hands, there was also a huge sword styled after a toy—of course, it was only the handle...
“Alright, let’s try it out!” As Hong Dali spoke, he held the handle of the sword and started to walk around. Because this gaming chamber was specially designed to ensure flexibility; thus, it was totally effortless for him to walk. While Hong Dali walked, the character in the game walked as well.
And at a display screen from afar, Tang Muxin, Ling Xiaoyi, Li Nianwei, and the others were gathered, looking at the scene of Hong Dali testing the gaming chamber.
Tang Muxin exclaimed in surprise, “It can be done! Hahaha, it really can be done!”
Li Nianwei, on the other hand, smiled, her expression full of gentleness as she said, “Young Master’s ideas are really extremely brilliant. Looking at this makes me want to go and experience it too.”
Ling Xiaoyi said, “Young Master is really too good at playing, hehe.”
Indeed, this prodigal Hong Dali was probably the only one in the world who could play it so high-endly and so creatively—a big prodigal!
Very soon, Hong Dali stepped on the pedal and went in front of the little soldier on the screen. Initially, he wasn’t very adjusted to it and often missed when he turned around or added his soldiers. But though he was carefree, he was still very smart. He understood how this technology worked very quickly.
Though he looked quite clumsy, most probably, with more practice, he’d be familiar with it very soon.
“Success!” After testing for around 10 minutes, when Hong Dali exited from the gaming chamber, everyone cheered in unison. “Yay! It’s a success, hahahaha!”
“Exhilarating! Just too exhilarating!” Hong Dali roared with laughter. “There’s vibration even when I slash others! Haha, everyone, go and try it out too!”
Instantly, everyone ran into the gaming chamber, and one by one, they queued up to test it.
“That’s right.” Hong Dali grinned. “Squandering must have a setup! Setup!”
“Alright.” Tang Muxin looked at the gaming chamber and excitedly said, “I’ll take it that you’re good at squandering. Later, I want to play too!”
Speaking up to this point, suddenly, lackey Li Yang ran inside and lowered his voice, saying, “Young Master, there’s someone outside wanting to see you. He says he’s the coach of Wanhao basketball team, and he wants to compete against the Flying Bull basketball team—the team that you bought previously—and hold a competition.”
“Basketball team?” Hong Dali felt strange and asked, “I’ve bought a basketball team?”
“Uh...” Lackey Li Yang was drenched with sweat. “Young Master, you indeed bought one. Back then, it was Qian Youjin from the Qian Family who sold it to you, together with a smartphone factory...”
“Oh... Is that so...” Hong Dali sniffled. “I remember, there was such a thing. Is there anyone left in our basketball team?”
“There are still some weak and old people...” Li Yang was drenched with sweat. “They going to retire. Thus, if they enter the court they’ll probably be beaten...”
“Oh, that’s indeed a problem.” Hong Dali thought for a while. “Let’s go and see what he says first.” Before going out, Hong Dali instructed, “Sister Xiaoyi, remind Old Liu’s side to release the public notice tomorrow!”
Ling Xiaoyi smiled and agreed. “OK, Young Master.”
Tang Muxin sighed. “Dali never bullies others, but once he does, he goes all out. So scary!”
...
Hong Dali went with lackey Li Yang into the small conference room. In the room was a plump middle-aged man sitting on a chair and drinking tea. Once he saw Hong Dali, he stood up and smilingly stretched out his hand. “Young Master Dali. Hello, hello, I’m the manager of Wanhao basketball team, Gan Juncai. Please take care of me.”
“Oh, Manager Gan.” Hong Dali casually stretched out his hand and shook hands with him, then asked, “I heard that you have something to say to me? You want to hold a competition?”
“Actually, it can’t be counted as a competition.” Gan Juncai said, “It’s just that a few months later, the Heavenly State professional basketball league will be starting. We want to train our members beforehand, so it’ll be just fine if we can exchange opinions and skills.”
By this point, Li Yang already understood what he meant. You want to use us for practice?
Hong Dali didn’t mind and directly nodded without even thinking. “Oh, OK, then when will it held?”
“Um, three days later, three days later!” Gan Juncai hurriedly said, “Young Master Dali, you’re a busy person, I don’t dare to take up too much of your time. How’s that?”
