Chapter 159 - 149: How to Restrain a Power That Doesn’t Belong to Reality?
Chapter 159: Chapter 149: How to Restrain a Power That Doesn’t Belong to Reality?
Qingfeng Entertainment City remained closed. Ah Pao, the man in charge, along with Chen Bo and a few of their brothers, still hadn’t come out.
But today, cars would occasionally stop outside the entertainment city. They would linger for a moment to observe before driving off, clearly scouting the situation.
A moment later, another car pulled up outside. The window facing the entertainment city rolled all the way down.
Two heads poked out of the window. One was a young man wearing sunglasses; the other was a very composed man.
"Brother Huaqiang, this is Qingfeng Entertainment City." The young man adjusted his sunglasses, as if to get a better look. "The guy in charge is named Ah Pao, and he’s still inside. There’s another one, Chen Bo, who’s also in there. It seems he was the one who led the fight against the Gao Family’s assassins. The Gao Family’s guys got wrecked; they’re all under guard at the hospital now."
The middle-aged man nodded. "The Gao Family’s assassins are no joke. Plenty of people in Tianzhou City have fallen at their hands. The fact that this Chen Bo could lead his men to take them out is impressive. But what’s even more impressive is the person backing them. The Gao Family had just made their move, and their opponent immediately took out the Gao Brothers."
Clearly, the middle-aged man had been keeping an eye on the Gao Family.
But the Gao Family had been comfortable for too long and had let their guard down, thinking they could push anyone around. They’d truly run into a fierce dragon crossing the river.
If the Gao Family had been just a bit more cautious, it wouldn’t have come to this.
Of course, in today’s world, making money peacefully is the best way. If it were him, he wouldn’t have been so quick to make a move.
Just then, the driver answered a call and suddenly turned to the middle-aged man. "Brother Qiang, we’ve got the latest news. A certain Mr. Chen from the city is furious. He was the one backing Gao Qiang, and now he’s made his intentions known."
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said to the driver, "Let’s go. No matter how fierce the dragon, it’s run into the Dragon Slayer Saber!"
He, of course, knew of that Mr. Chen. He had tried to get connected with him before but couldn’t find a way in. It turned out Gao Qiang had beaten him to it long ago.
No wonder the Gao Family rose so quickly. So they had such powerful support behind them.
「Inside Qingfeng Entertainment City.」
Lu Feng was once again sitting at the tea table. Yang Ming was there too with a group of his men, and it was clear from their expressions that none of them looked pleased.
Yang Ming frowned. "Xiaofeng, I did some digging on this Mr. Chen. Considering his power and status in Tianzhou City, we really are just little shrimp in a river."
Lu Feng’s brow furrowed slightly, but he wasn’t as dejected as Yang Ming.
To his cousin and the others, Mr. Chen was indeed an overwhelming force. They really were no different from little shrimp.
’But I’m different,’ Lu Feng thought. ’I have methods that could take care of this Mr. Chen without a single soul knowing, leaving no trace for anyone to investigate.’
’The only problem is, if someone like Mr. Chen were to be killed, it would cause a massive uproar. The authorities would definitely launch an all-out investigation.’
’Eventually, even on mere suspicion, they would come knocking on my door to investigate, and that would be a huge pain.’
’It’s not that I’m afraid of the trouble. After all, if I were really discovered, I could just hide in the game world where no one can touch me.’
’But in the real world, I have my mom, I have Yang Qingxue, and I have my cousin and my brothers. I can’t just abandon them, and I don’t want to ruin their lives because of this.’
’Of course, if this Mr. Chen pushes things too far, then I’ll be left with no other choice.’
’They say that in modern society, an individual’s power is no match for political authority.’
’After all, the kind of terrifying power you see in anime and movies doesn’t exist in reality. But I’m different. I have a game world.’
’When the time comes, I don’t mind risking it all and using power to crush authority!’
A moment later, Master Kai arrived with his men. He walked right in and said to Lu Feng, "President Lu, I’m afraid we have a problem this time. That Mr. Chen is completely unreceptive."
"It seems he needed Gao Qiang for something. Right now, he’s furious and won’t let this matter end easily."
Hearing this, Lu Feng’s frown deepened. ’Looks like there’s no other way. I’ll have to solve this with force after all.’
Just as Lu Feng was thinking this, the brothers Wang Kai and Wang Xin walked in.
The two of them were unaware of the situation Lu Feng was facing; they were just there to give a report.
Upon seeing Lu Feng, Wang Kai reported with a look of delight, "President Lu, I have some great news for you! Our Qingfeng Intelligent Assistant just broke one hundred million registered users."
A user base of 100,000,000 is a monumental peak that is difficult for any internet company to surmount.
Once an internet company’s registered users reach 100,000,000, it’s considered a major player.
Unfortunately, very few domestic companies can reach that level.
Even a famous internet company like ’D’ hasn’t reached one hundred million registered users.
The same goes for Qingfeng, another internet company, which also hasn’t reached 100,000,000 users; they’re actually only at 80,000,000.
But that’s how internet companies work, isn’t it? It’s all about faking it for the sake of marketing.
After all, claiming to have broken 100,000,000 users early is great for publicity. And when you already have 80,000,000 real users, no one is going to specifically check or accuse you of false advertising.
Besides, that’s what all internet companies do these days.
"One hundred million already?" Lu Feng was a little surprised. If it weren’t for this whole mess with the Gao Family, this would have been truly fantastic news.
He had, after all, looked into the internet industry and knew exactly what 100,000,000 users represented.
"President Lu, not only have our user numbers reached one hundred million, but we also launched a new skin. We signed a contract with that actress, Miss Yuna, and had her wear a very sexy nightgown for a one-on-one simulated video interaction."
Wang Kai described excitedly, "I have to say, that Miss Yuna truly lives up to her reputation as the goddess teacher in the hearts of countless otaku. The skin turned out incredibly sexy."
"So as soon as the skin went live, even with the expensive price tag of 100 yuan, more than 1,000,000 users paid for it. In just two days, the company has generated another one hundred million yuan in revenue from this skin alone!"
Everyone in the office was stunned by this news.
After all, that was one hundred million yuan! This internet company had earned that much in just two days from a single skin.
Master Kai, in particular, found it incredible. He remembered that when he first invested in this company, it had been on the verge of bankruptcy.
Who would have thought that after President Lu bought the company, it would generate this kind of profit?
’This President Lu is really something else,’ he thought.
’If I’d known, I would have invested a bit more with President Lu back then and gotten some shares.’
’Unfortunately, the company is already successful now, and he didn’t have the face to ask.’
"President Lu, there’s one more thing I came to ask you about today," Wang Kai said. "Our company is ready to expand into other functions and services. An internet company needs to be versatile. We’re planning to develop an entertainment news or video section. We can market it with the gimmick of ’watch the news with your intelligent assistant.’"
"Didn’t an incident with a car explosion just happen in Tianzhou City? I think someone with the surname Gao died, and he seemed to be a pretty big deal. The topic is trending, so it would be a perfect event for us to feature and promote."
"News... promotion!" Hearing Wang Kai’s words, Lu Feng’s eyes suddenly lit up.
He had thought of a way. Perhaps he could resolve this matter without resorting to violence after all.
