Chapter 108.2
Editor: Jodi
Even up until the day before the conference, there was still no movement from the Li Group. Even the number of reporters they invited was less than half of the Lu Group’s.
And since no news had come out at this point, Lu Jizhen breathed an undoubted sigh of relief, finally let go of her worries, then started preparing for the final work before the conference began.
The next day, the press conferences of the Li Group and the Lu Group were held in their respective venues.
And with live broadcasts and reporters in place, judging solely by popularity, it was obvious that the Lu Group completely overshadowed the Li Group.
‘Sky Juvenile’ and ‘Machine Warfare’ – two games with similar backgrounds and overlapping character designs, but also with exquisite graphics, grand scenes, and passion.
The difference was that ‘Machine Warfare’ was a holographic game.
Just with this point alone, even though ‘Machine Warfare’ was suspected of plagiarizing ‘Sky Juvenile’, it was still pushed aside by countless fans who were anticipating the release of the holographic game.
And no matter how much the fans of ‘Sky Juvenile’ raged and protested, it was to no avail.
Especially since on this point, the Li Group didn’t do anything.
Some fans even listed in detail the areas where they believed the other party had plagiarized costumes, backgrounds and decorations and tagged the official website of the Li Group, asking that they send legal letters to accuse the Lu Group of plagiarism. However the Li Group just tried to appease them temporarily.
And Ms. Mars Hill’s account also focused on appeasement, with an attitude of trying to calm things down.
Causing many fans to be extremely disappointed.
Making it so that when the Li Group’s press conference live broadcast started, only a few netizens specifically came to throw down a few sentences of ridicule then say they would go watch the Lu Group’s live press conference.
And one of these accounts was a well-known gaming blogger, Crescent Moon.
This blogger was a girl, was beautiful, and was from a wealthy family.
She had even once done a live stream of her room that was specifically set up for gaming. It was exquisitely and luxuriously decorated, with several valuable figurines on the computer desk.
Crescent Moon was beautiful, wealthy, and good at gaming.
So, her number of fans had almost reached twenty million, a number that was comparable to that of certain celebrities.
When Li Qingzhou, Ge Yue, and other related personnel took their seats and announced that the conference was about to begin, Crescent Moon arrived.
And left a message in the live broadcast room – [I’ve come to see President Li and Ms. Mars Hill and then leave. Although they are still my ideal type, I’m still too angry.]
[I have always supported Ms. Mars Hill and the game adapted from ‘Sky Juvenile’, but the way the two of them have dealt with the plagiarism issue done by the Lu Group has disappointed me.]
[Since they didn’t do anything about it, then what’s the point of me holding on? I might as well play ‘Machine Warfare’. Anyways, I’ve never played a holographic game before, so playing it won’t hurt, and not playing it would be a loss. I’m tired of supporting them, goodbye.]
Then after saying this, she left.
Crescent Moon’s words resonated with her fans and certain netizens, so they also left comments then left.
A netizen who was late in leaving happened to see Li Qingzhou standing up in the live video, a microphone in his hand as he introduced ‘Sky Juvenile’ as the first holographic game in C Country.
The netizen sneered. What first holog…… Huh?! Holographic game?!
‘Sky Juvenile’ was also holographic!!!
Damn! Everyone, don’t leave, come back!
The netizen called those who had left back hurriedly, even @Crescent Moon in particular numerous times.
At this moment, Crescent Moon had already arrived at the Lu Group’s press conference live broadcast room.
And as the Lu Group’s game press conference was ten minutes later than the Li Group’s, they hadn’t introduced the holographic game ‘Machine Warfare’ yet.
Lu Jizhen, sitting in the main seat, was just about to thank a certain foreign company for their technical support…..
[Damn! Crescent Moon, come back quickly! President Li just said ‘Sky Juvenile’ is also a holographic game! Come back and see!]
[It’s true! I confirm it! I’m watching with two phones right now. President Li is talking about holography and will be showcasing it soon!]
The Lu Group’s live broadcast room exploded.
However, it wasn’t because of the game ‘Machine Warfare’, but because of the Li Group, because ‘Sky Juvenile’ was also a holographic game.
The staff member who was watching the live stream was shocked, his heart pounding rapidly as a sense of foreboding rose.
Then he got up from his seat hurriedly.
Shortly afterwards, the host, with a stiff expression, went directly to Lu Jizhen who was speaking and whispered a few words to her under the lens of the cameras…
Lu Jizhen’s expression changed drastically, and almost unable to hold the microphone, it hit her body, causing it to make a harsh ear-piercing ‘zzz’ sound.
And frowning, Liu Jingyuan reached out to hold her in confusion.
Lu Jizhen’s loss of composure was noticed by others.
And the reporters who were unaware of the situation wanted to move forward, but were pulled back by their colleagues who whispered to them, “Look at your phone. Hurry up and watch the Li Group’s live broadcast. Something big has happened.”
The chaos and changes happening on the side of the Lu Group were unknown to Li Qingzhou.
After announcing that ‘Sky Juvenile’ was also a holographic game, the number of viewers in the Li Group’s live broadcast room skyrocketed.
And Li Qingzhou, wearing an exoskeleton support device, faced the commotion below with a calm expression on his face as he stood behind the microphone, saying, “I learned recently that comparisons have been made online repeatedly between the new game the World Skill Game Company has announced, ‘Machine Warfare’ and ‘Sky Juvenile’.”
“Coincidentally, ‘Machine Warfare’ is also holographic, and is highly similar to ‘Sky Juvenile.’ in certain aspects.”
“I won’t hide it from you all. I’m also very curious about ‘Machine Warfare’.”
“Holography against holography, which side will prevail?”
“Since comparisons have been made online repeatedly, then why not be more thorough and compare them to the end?”
“This will also allow everyone to be able to make a more intuitive choice of which game to play.”
“After all, the consumer is god, and satisfying consumer needs, is our top priority…..”
At this point, Li Qingzhou’s mouth curled up slightly as he revealed a faint smile.
His words were so frighteningly clear that no one dared to miss a single word, and his current expression made it hard for anyone to look away.
Li Qingzhou continued, “I’m not afraid of losing, but I’m afraid of losing for no clear reason.”
“So, for myself, and for all of you, ‘Sky Juvenile’ will have its final comparison with the World Skill Game Company’s ‘Machine Warfare’ at this press conference.”
–How was he going to do that?!
The reporters and netizens in the audience were puzzled.
Then in the next moment, the large screen on the side of the stage suddenly displayed the live broadcast video of the Lu Group’s press conference.
Fuck, good heavens!
Li Qingzhou was really crazy. How could he be this bold?!
Regardless of who lost in the final comparison, this was going to become a public execution!
