I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 142 You're involved too? (66)

"As you can see, Bai Ze is a non-player character in our Xu Group's new dream world, 'Tales of Dazexiang,' primarily assisting players in familiarizing themselves with the dream world. 'Tales of Dazexiang' is a new type of dream world that we have invested heavily in, including tower defense, base building, and exploration elements. Please watch the video."

Turning to the side, Xu Zilong left space for the large screen behind him, allowing everyone to see the promotional video for the dream world.

As the scorching sun descended and the earth cracked, a city stood tall beside the only source of water.

The archers on the city wall stared intently into the distance, their eyes filled with solemnity.

Then, the earth began to tremble, and countless demons rushed in from afar, launching an attack on the base.

Arrows rained down like rain. The massive ballista unleashed a terrifying strike from the city wall, carving a bloody path through the demons.

Then, the scene shifts to the Tower of Babel rising atop the ice, with numerous ancient cannons extending from it, engaging in a life-or-death struggle with the flying dragons attacking from all directions.

The visuals of big companies have always been a strength.

Moreover, this time, in order to enhance the visuals, Xu Zilong specially invited the Foundation Establishment executives and, using the instructions of the Ancestral God as a reason, asked them to enhance the Daoist charm and elevate the visuals to a higher level.

Although this will increase the burden on players' minds while playing, that's not the main focus this time.

It is an external display device.

As the scene on the screen reached its climax, the external display devices placed nearby activated, and even more realistic and Taoist-inspired demonic beasts appeared, eliciting gasps of amazement from the audience.

In order to reverse engineer Tianyuan's external display device, the Xu Group even lost three engineers, which enabled them to create the external display in a very short time, but the internal magical control still belonged to Tianyuan.

But it's enough to deal with the current situation.

Seeing the flying monsters and the bases they could build themselves, members in the back rows who had never seen anything like it before stood up, staring in astonishment at everything in front of them.

They had seen dream projection before, but this was the first time they had seen a method that combined it with reality.

This groundbreaking idea can give dreams a leap forward and also allow people to discover unlimited business opportunities.

"This is working well. But what exactly is the gameplay?" someone suddenly asked.

Seemingly in response to the other party's expectations, the rules of the dream were revealed in the next moment.

The lights went out, and the subtitles appeared.

A weathered voice rang out, its deep tone carrying a unique charm that drew people into a dream world.

"The world has changed drastically, leaving the land scorched and barren. Demons and monsters have risen up everywhere, and the people are suffering terribly."

The scene depicts numerous natural disasters, resulting in the deaths of countless people and mountains of bones, highlighting the horror of the apocalypse.

"And you, an unknown hero. You stepped forward, built a fortress, and rescued the people."

"But don't worry, you will receive a lot of help. Ancient monsters and the four star lords will all become your support and accompany you on your journey."

Subsequently, even more content was released externally, making it dazzling.

There are powerful monsters, towering puppets, mysterious gods, and all kinds of weapons.

With these things added to the effect, even the terrifying monsters seemed to become vulnerable. Especially after the giant war weapons appeared, there were constant exclamations throughout the entire event, and even those who don't usually play Dream World were excited.

When the lights came on, everyone was still immersed in the shock they had just experienced, constantly discussing what they had seen in the video and exchanging ideas on how to play it.

Sun Lei was clearly an exception among the group of people discussing the matter.

He frowned as he looked at Xu Zilong, his eyes burning with rage that seemed to want to incinerate him.

He stood up, pointed at Xu Zilong, and shouted angrily, "Xu Zilong, how dare you!"

Faced with Sun Lei's accusation, Xu Zilong tilted his head and asked, "Mr. Sun, what's wrong?"

“Bai Ze is clearly a character from ‘The Records of Mountains and Seas,’ how dare you say he’s your character?” Xu Zilong smiled and then said, “Then let me ask you, where did Bai Ze come from?”

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas".

"That's right. Although I haven't played 'Shan Hai Jian Wen Lu', Bai Ze's image is also recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. I think that such a legendary character shouldn't be made by only one company."

"you……"

“Mr. Sun, I know you and Chen Guang are good friends, but that doesn’t mean you can cover for him indefinitely. I reserve the right to pursue legal action against you.”

"Then dare you say that the Bai Ze in the thirty-second segment is a character from your company?"

Xu Zilong chuckled as he looked at Sun Lei, then shrugged and said, "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you, okay? That's not a role from my company, are you satisfied now?"

"you!"

Inside the venue, the crowd looked at the two with puzzlement, then burst into laughter at Xu Zilong's reaction.

Xu Zilong's reaction was considered a joke, and if investigated later, it could also be seen as a denial.

Although they initially acknowledged that Bai Ze belonged to them, it could still be seen as a way to attract traffic, albeit unethically.

Reflecting on the entire press conference, Sun Lei realized that the other party had cleverly guided the public's attention, but had not provided much substantial evidence.

The Xu Group is a master at using the law.

Seeing Sun Lei speechless, Xu Zilong smiled from the bottom of his heart.

I really hope Chen Yu will have the same expression when he finds out about this.

After the meeting, Sun Lei was about to confront Xu Zilong when Xu Zilong was quickly ushered away by a group of people, leaving Sun Lei with only a hurried silhouette.

The opponent's move was very sudden, with no prior information leaked and no room for counterattack afterwards.

Furthermore, because the media lock is still in place, not many players know about "Shan Hai Jian Wen Lu" and it cannot form an effective force.

How to do?
The Xu Group is too large to be dealt with on its own; all it can do is keep making its voice heard and look for opportunities to report the other party.

However, their legal department is extremely powerful and will definitely be able to fill in all sorts of loopholes, making them difficult to deal with.

After much deliberation, Sun Lei realized with despair that he had no good solutions.

In the end, he could only send the message to Chen Yu to see if the other party had any good ideas.

Chen Yu was still confused when he received Sun Lei's message.

The sudden impulse was still bothering him, leaving him wondering who was targeting him, and why they had been targeting him for so long.

After reading Sun Lei's message, Chen Yu, who had been hoping to find the little fairy, was a little confused.

That's it?

These methods don't seem like anything special.

This world is great at tormenting people, but it's a bit weak when it comes to the media. It's just that with the Star Lord watching over us, everyone is still a bit conservative in their media battles.

In my past life, this wouldn't have been a problem.

For something like this, a few simple tricks can easily retaliate. Let the public opinion ferment for now, and then find the right opportunity to strike them.

Now, the most important thing is, where exactly are those pesky little devils backstabbing me!
They've been backstabbed all day!
Could it be that the Xu Group is also involved?
