Chapter 109.2
Editor: Jodi
The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was lively, however just as certain netizens were turning to support ‘Machine Warfare’, Li Qingzhou continued with his introduction— and that was, playing the game’s promotional video.
In a flash, the lights in the entire venue were dimmed, and even the video feed from the Liu Group’s press conference broadcast on the side was shrunk into a corner to prevent it from obscuring the main details.
The reporters and netizens present thought that the game promotion video would be played on the big screen on stage.
However, with the first sound of majestic music, a blue projection suddenly appeared before everyone—it was a galaxy, a vast universe.
With countless meteors and star fragments rotating around everyone, completely mesmerizing the reporters and netizens present.
Especially the staff at the press conference.
Because at this moment, they felt as if they were in a mysterious yet dangerous universe as they reached out as if they could grab one of the stars.
‘Clang’. The sound of a cold weapon being unsheathed approached gradually.
And in the distance, there seemed to be a faint dark starlight that was enlarging gradually.
Then finally, with the sound of rattling iron chains, a long sword made of meteorite flew before everyone.
The tip of the sword was extremely sharp, looking as if it could cut through a person’s throat with just a glance of it. Its handle was connected to the iron chains, chains that extended into endless darkness.
“Ah—!” Someone cried out in alarm.
Because the long sword spun a circle, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, looking as if it was really going to pierce through a body and sever a neck.
Some even dodged when the long sword approached, nearly falling off their chairs.
Then the scene changed, and a young man in military uniform appeared before everyone, wrapped the iron chains around the length of one his arms, swung the long sword back, then held it firmly in his hand.
Then his brows, as well as his eyes rose, exuding endless sunshine and heroism, as if to dispel the darkness around and bring forth dawn.
And behind him floated the silhouette of an ethereal blue mech, a silhouette that made the same movements as the young man.
[Yan Jiang! The Sky Juvenile in my heart, Yan Jiang!!! Ahhh, I’m going crazy! This is the Yan Jiang in my mind!]
The promotional video continued to play, projecting magnificent scenes before everyone. It was as if they were watching a 3D blockbuster without the glasses required for it. No, this was even cooler than a 3D movie.
Because it made them feel as if they were no longer outsiders, but rather part of it, as they became starlights in the interstellar world, speck of dusts….
Under the backdrop of the immense warship, they could only look up and marvel.
And on the battlefield that was interwoven with cold weapons and mechs, they felt like panicked civilians fleeing in a city, civilians that were filled with fear and helplessness—
As they constantly dodged the flying bullets and lasers…..
From the slums to the wealthy districts, from the junkyard planet to the military academy, from Sky City to the universe—this was the interstellar world, mysterious and beautiful, yet also cruel and dark.
The more than five-minute game promotion video seemed very long, yet very short, leaving everyone unable to extricate themselves as they were still immersed in it.
There wasn’t even a chance to buffer, leaving them feeling both lost and disoriented.
The reporters onsite couldn’t help but discuss what was happening in whispers, while all this became a hot topic online, directly causing a sensation.
[I’m dazed, is this what holographic is?]
[What did I just watch….it’s like I just watched a blockbuster movie, but in 3D! President Li is forever amazing!]
[Yan Jiang! The perfect portrayal of the youth in my heart! This game is a must-play!]
[After watching World Skill Game’s ‘ Machine Warfare’ promotion video, the only thing that came to me was, what the hell is this? It’s like the case of two people wearing the same clothes–it’s embarrassing for whoever is uglier.]
[However ‘Machine Warfare’ is not just embarrassing. I feel ashamed just watching it. What’s with the graphics?!]
[And isn’t it supposed to be a holographic game?! ‘Sky Juvenile’ has holographic projections, but the promotional video for ‘Machine Warfare’ is just a video playing on a big screen. That’s it?! That’s it?!]
[They bragged so much about it, but the result is so disappointing.]
[Haha, turns out it’s just a copy of ‘Sky Juvenile’. Their interstellar setting isn’t comparable and not grand enough, and what’s with the costumes, accessories, and weapon designs? Tattered clothing? Toy guns for children? Where did their holographic projection go?]
[The whole promotional video is just plain mediocre. If ‘Sky Juvenile’ hadn’t set the bar high, I might have praised ‘Machine Warfare’ a little, but now, it’s totally impossible for me to do so.]
[I was wrong…. I am the minor who just said I won’t play ‘Sky Juvenile’. Even if my gaming time is restricted, I still want to play ‘Sky Juvenile’!]
[‘Machine Warfare’ is crap, it can’t compare to this game at all!]
When Li Qingzhou mentioned the live comparison, Lu Jizhen also started playing the live broadcast of the Li Group’s game launch event.
So the moment Li Qingzhou mentioned the restriction of gaming time for minors, causing certain netizens to start cursing and supporting ‘Machine Warfare’, it made Lu Jizhen and the the rest secretly pleased as they thought that they had finally turned the tables around.
However the next moment, the holographic promotion video caused their faces to darken completely.
–The comparison of ‘Sky Juvenile’s’ holographic technology to ‘Machine Warfare’s’, was like comparing a modern advanced smartphone to an old-fashioned brick phone.
This might be a bit exaggerated, however after watching ‘Sky Juvenile’s’ promotional video, one wouldn’t even want to look at ‘Machine Warfare’s’ promotional video.
As its poor quality was simply insulting to the eyes.
The minors who had just been saying not long ago that ‘Sky Juvenile’ and ‘Machine Warfare’ were almost the same, and that since there was a time limit restriction, they wouldn’t play it, that it wasn’t as if there was no other option apart from ‘Sky Juvenile’ were slapped in the face— No! They definitely wanted to play ‘Sky Juvenile’! Even if there was a time limit restriction, they still wanted to play it!
What was ‘Machine Warfare’?! Was that also holographic?!
It was rubbish.
Just then, Li Qingzhou stood up and said, “I think by now, the comparison between the two games is quite obvious.”
“To be honest, I was really looking forward to the holographic technology of ‘Machine Warfare’ before.”
“I wanted to see how advanced the foreign holographic technology that made the Lu Group be so willing to spend so much money on to bring in is, but now that I’ve seen it….”
Li Qingzhou shook his head, a disappointed expression on his face.
“I just want to say that this, is the holographic technology of C Country, not some shoddy import from outside.”
“C Country will use its own people’s technology to create a new era of intelligence and holography. This is the future, and it’s what we’re accomplishing now.”
“Holographic technology can be used not only in games but also in phones, computers, and even to watch holographic movies in theaters.”
“‘Sky Juvenile’ is just the beginning, so let’s look forward to what’s to come.”
After Li Qingzhou finished speaking, he announced the launch date of the holographic game that was ‘Sky Juvenile’, causing the atmosphere inside and outside the venue to buzz with excitement, with celebrations going on in the live broadcast room.
In contrast, the live broadcast room of the Lu Group’s launch event had very few viewers, probably just the staff.
Some reporters had even left their seats quietly.
While some of the reporters who weren’t able to catch up with the news from the Li Group’s side made a big fuss over here, striving to release the news about the Lu Group’s disappointing game as soon as possible.
The Lu Group’s press conference couldn’t go on.
And unable to stay any longer, Lu Jizhen and Liu Jingyuan left hurriedly after ending the press conference launch event hastily.
Li Qingzhou had just won a great victory, however it didn’t show on the surface as he came down from the stage calmly, when in reality, he was already ecstatic inside.
He took Liu Bohuai’s hand, led him to the room, then pounced on him the moment the door closed.
Liu Bohuai caught him in a skillful manner, then their lips met in a kiss.
Li Qingzhou: “Ah Huai, am I awesome?”
[I’m really, really awesome, aren’t I? Heh.]
The little guy in the bubble held his face shyly yet proudly, waiting for his praise eagerly.
“You are. My baby is really awesome.”
Then lifting his chin while hugging his waist, Liu Bohuai kissed his forehead.
Then after they hugged for a while, he said, “Baby, my mother will be back from abroad soon, and she wants to meet you.”
Li Qingzhou blinked at the news.
[Mee-meeting the mother-in-law? I’m nervous….]
The little guy in the bubble bit the tip of his fingers as he tapped his foot back and forth nervously.
Mother-in-law?
Liu Bohuai’s brow rose, then he pinched Li Qingzhou’s cheek, only to receive a puzzled look in return – what are you doing?
Liu Bohuai shook him gently, comforting him, “Didn’t you two already meet through video calls before? My mother obviously likes you a lot, so why are you so nervous?”
Li Qingzhou: “Video calls and meeting in person are two different things.”
“Ah Huai, is your mother coming back to the country just because of me? Shouldn’t I be the one to go abroad to visit her?”
[The younger generation should visit the elder.]
Liu Bohuai: “Don’t think too much. My mother is coming back for other reasons, and when the time comes…. my second brother’s family will also be there.”
Leaning on him, Li Qingzhou nodded, then was confused, then he remembered a certain plot in the original book, then it suddenly dawned on him. Oh—could it be about that matter?
