My outside expression is different from my inner expression

Chapter 109.1

Editor: Jodi

Li Qingzhou sat back down after speaking, while the staff prepared for the presentation on the stage.

On the large screen on the side, the live broadcast scene of the Lu Group’s press conference was still playing.

Lu Jizhen and Liu Jingyuan’s faces were stiff, seemingly filled with anger however they forced themselves to smile as they faced the camera with strained expressions…..

Leaning over a little, Ge Yue whispered in Li Qingzhou’s ear, “With your move, will they end up walking in upright and leaving sideways?”

However it had to be said that Li Qingzhou’s words were quite satisfying.

Li Qingzhou glanced at the live broadcast of the Lu Group’s conference.

–The scene shown in the video seemed chaotic, with some reporters leaving their seats, while others surged forward to ask questions.

It was now no secret to Lu Jizhen and others that the Li Group’s ‘Sky Juvenile’ was also a holographic game.

Because shortly after he started the comparisons through the live broadcasts, news had already reached them, causing Lu Jizhen and the rest to be unable to control their shocked and angry expressions.

Lu Jizhen and Liu Jingyuan were sitting smack dab in the middle of all that was happening.

However Lu Jizhen’s father, Lu Bai and her big brother, Lu Peng, the true owners of the Lu Group, were sitting on the sidelines, as if all that was happening didn’t concern them.

Seeing their daughter/sister lose her composure, they remained calm and composed, even exchanging a glance with a somewhat smug feeling.

Lu Bai was already old, however in his youth he had been dissolute as he indulged in women, drinking, and so on.

So now not only was his health poor, he also had difficulty walking, using a cane earlier than his peers.

While Lu Peng, on the other hand, despite his indulging in women, had only one illegitimate daughter.

He and his wife had been childless for many years, then later there were rumors of him having a certain illness, so his wife chose to divorce him.

It could be said that the decline of the Lu Group in recent years wasn’t unrelated to the two of them.

Recalling the latter part of the original plot, Li Qingzhou looked at Lu Jizhen with a meaningful gaze.

Then he said to Ge Yue, “As long as they don’t get too angry. After all, they are still Ah Huai’s relatives.”

Then saying this, he looked at Liu Bohuai who was sitting in the VIP seat, a faint smile in his eyes.

And this scene was captured by the camera as it paused on him for a few seconds in the live video before moving away when the preparation on the stage was completed.

[Ah ah ah why does President Li have to smile so charmingly! Who is he looking at?]

[It’s a pity the camera moved away. I wanted to take another look. I should have remembered to take a screenshot. Sigh, my forgetful mind.]

[Hehe, Ah Huai has been looking at me all this time, sending hearts, mwah mwah.]

–The little guy in the bubble grinned, tiptoed, raised his hands above his head to make a heart shape, then puckered his lips to blow a kiss, his small and chubby body agile and cute.

Causing a sudden touch of tenderness, as well as a smile, to appear in Liu Bohuai’s eyes.

And although the time they looked at each other wasn’t that long, Ge Yue still noticed it.

Causing him to suddenly feel a sourness in his teeth as he thought to himself—dog food is really everywhere.

Ge Yue couldn’t help but think of An Qi who was still in C Country.

Mr. Reese had already gone back, but she hadn’t followed him back. Instead, she followed behind him, saying something about repaying kindness with gratitude…

To this, Ge Yue had a headache.

But seeing Li Qingzhou picking up the microphone to introduce the holographic game that was ‘Sky Juvenile’ in detail, he sat up straight hurriedly, listening while also paying attention distractedly to what was happening on Lu Jizhen’s side.

What was a holographic game?

—It was headsets, game warehouses, holographic technology, simulated reality, etc. It was like a second world, with one living a second life inside.

And although such a statement was somewhat exaggerated, it wasn’t unreasonable.

Because holographic games did bring people a sense of immersion, nerve connection, pain perception, and so on.

This was the most realistic gaming experience.

Lu Jizhen definitely knew that Li Qingzhou was doing a comparison through their live broadcasts, however she still forced herself to continue with her introduction.

However she harbored a slim hope that perhaps ‘Machine Warfare’ could outperform ‘Sky Juvenile’.

Even if it didn’t surpass it completely, as long as it didn’t lose completely, it still wouldn’t be considered a loss.

However just as she started talking about how their holographic headset had been designed, Li Qingzhou had already unveiled his headset.

And not only that, there was also a game warehouse.

—Both sides had headsets as well as game warehouses, so players could choose according to their economic situation.

Li Qingzhou had the staff remove the red cloth covering it to reveal the metallic game warehouse underneath that had a silver-blue totem on it that resembled the sky. What’s more the side of the game warehouse also had the logo of the Li Group, giving it an overall low-key yet luxurious feel.

The height of the game’s warehouse was positioned below the waist, making it so that sitting or lying in it was completely comfortable due to its ergonomic design.

One wouldn’t feel tired even after lying down for a long time. Its lid was fully transparent, and there was a safety switch device on its side…..

Li Qingzhou: “To prevent children from being completely immersed in the game, ‘Sky Juvenile’ adopts an age-based grading system to limit the gaming time of minors.”

“If they don’t log out voluntarily, minors will be kicked out of the game automatically, then depending on the number of violations, it will extend the time that they are prohibited from logging into the game.”

Compared to the Li Group’s age-based grading system, ‘Machine Warfare’ didn’t have this requirement, as it was open to all age groups with no time restrictions.

Actually, the Lu Group had discussed this issue before.

However considering that doing so might lead to the loss of a large number of underage users, it was eventually canceled during the meeting.

Sure enough, as soon as this system was announced, the live broadcast room became lively, with some supporting it and others naturally opposing it.

[What’s wrong with being a minor? Discriminating against minors? I play games and my grades are still good. Since ‘Sky Juvenile’ limits the gaming time for minors, then I’ll just play ‘Machine Warfare.’ It’s almost the same anyway. If I’m not allowed to play, then I won’t play, who cares.]

[Damn, it’s just a game yet you’re already controlling this, controlling that. It’s not as if there’s no other option apart from ‘Sky Juvenile’. Isn’t ‘Machine Warfare’ also a holographic game? It’s also a hot-blooded interstellar game. I’ll just play World Skill’s game instead.]

[What’s wrong with limiting minors’ gaming time? It should be limited to prevent some people from playing so endlessly that they even create trouble for their families. I support President Li.]
