Chapter 1131: Zhao Qingfeng’s Secret Exposed

The concept of virtual reality was proposed many years ago.

It has appeared in many novels and films.

But everyone thought achieving this technology would take a long time.

So when Xu Shaochen promoted ‘Jianghu’, there was much ridicule and doubt.

But this time the Jianghu beta test made everyone blush with surprise.

Tianyu Game Company truly realized the virtual reality portrayed in films.

This technology is revolutionary not only in gaming but also in film and various industries.

Therefore, after the beta test video caused a sensation.

Xu Shaochen’s phone was almost blowing up with calls.

All these calls were seeking cooperation, every company a household name.

However, Xu Shaochen had no time to take their calls.

He was meeting with a bigwig from a relevant department.

Using virtual reality technology just for games was a waste, as the country could use it elsewhere.

Xu Shaochen naturally agreed with this as contributing to his nation was an honor.

What’s more, it’s not charity, it’s like a partnership with the country.

After sending off the bigwig, Xu Shaochen checked his phone and saw many missed calls.

Many numbers were unfamiliar.

One was familiar, the number of the pig farm owner Zhu Sitang.

Back then, Xu Shaochen had a bet with him. It seemed now Xu Shaochen had won.

“Hello, Director Zhu, calling about fulfilling the bet, right?”

Xu Shaochen called Zhu Sitang, jokingly saying.

“Oh my, Director Xu, I lost badly this time. I thought I was sure to win, so I spent all the next game’s marketing budget on development. I didn’t expect Tianyu to come out with this black tech. I admit defeat.”

Zhu Sitang sounded helpless. It wasn’t lack of effort. The opponent had an advantage.

Who would have thought Tianyu Game Company mastered such amazing virtual reality technology.

“Hahaha, Director Zhu, I never bet unless I’m sure. Thanks for saving me the marketing cost!”

Xu Shaochen laughed heartily.

“Director Xu, you’re too kind. With Jianghu’s current fame, our pig farm’s ad is just the cherry on top.”

Zhu Sitang knew well that Jianghu, as a revolutionary product in the gaming industry, didn’t need advertising, as it was already well-known.

“Director Zhu, you didn’t call just to say this, did you?” Xu Shaochen asked.

“Director Xu, do you have time before the New Year? Why not meet up again for a detailed discussion?”

Zhu Sitang asked politely, thinking a partnership with Tianyu could help them conquer bigger competitors.

Xu Shaochen declined, as he wasn’t prepared to share this technology: “Sorry, Director Zhu, it’s the busiest time before the New Year, I’m sure you understand.”

Online, people speculated Xu Shaochen obtained alien technology. Xu Shaochen also believed those few jade stones were from another planet.

After all, Earth’s technology couldn’t create such incredible products.

“Then after the New Year,” Zhu Sitang blurted as if he hadn’t caught Xu Shaochen’s meaning.

After all, those with integrity these days often don’t make money.

Xu Shaochen sighed, “Fine, let’s arrange a time after the New Year.”

The other party pretended not to understand, and he couldn’t outright decline the meeting.

“Director Xu, it’s settled. Don’t back out at the last minute.”

Zhu Sitang suppressed his excitement, almost wanting to hug Xu Shaochen.

‘Jianghu’ was a massive hit.

Tianyu Game Company’s customer service line was overwhelmed with calls about the public test date.

Xu Shaochen could already imagine what a grand occasion the public test day would be.

The game helmet was priced at 4999 each.

With Jianghu’s current popularity, the game was a money-making machine.

Thinking about it, Xu Shaochen couldn’t help but smile.

No one ever thinks they have too much money these days.

Moreover, the island lab was costing millions every day, and without income, it would eventually deplete his assets.

Research is costly, indeed.

But successfully doing research makes tons of money.

“Knock knock…”

A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

Xu Shaochen sat up straight, “Come in.”

At his words, Yuxiu swayed her slender waist, entering the office softly, “Boss, Miss Zhao Qingyu and her brother are here. She seems anxious.”

“Let her in.”

Xu Shaochen frowned, wondering why Zhao Qingyu was here and bringing her brother Zhao Qingfeng. What happened now?

“Yes.”

Yuxiu responded, then turned to leave.

In minutes, Zhao Qingyu rushed into the office, “Shaochen, you must save Qingfeng, or his life is ruined.”

Barely speaking, Zhao Qingyu’s eyes turned red, tears ready to fall.

Zhao Qingfeng stood nervously nearby, head down, with some marks on his face indicating he was hit by a woman.

“Alright, stop crying. What’s going on?”

Xu Shaochen asked, wiping tears from her eyes.

All this time, Zhao Qingfeng, his brother-in-law, was quite well-behaved and didn’t cause trouble.

Although he heard that before his internship ended, Zhao Qingfeng left Chenyu for a playboy lifestyle, Xu Shaochen didn’t mind.

As long as Zhao Qingfeng didn’t cause trouble, keeping a few freeloaders wasn’t hard for him.

“Thud.”

Before Zhao Qingyu spoke, Zhao Qingfeng’s legs gave out, and he knelt, “Brother-in-law, I’m sorry, please help me. I won’t dare again.”

“What exactly happened?” Xu Shaochen’s face turned grim, seeing Zhao Qingfeng’s guilty look suggested trouble was self-caused.

Kneeling, Zhao Qingfeng shivered, afraid to speak, always fearing his brother-in-law.

“Shaochen, here’s the thing, this idiot decided to gamble…”

Zhao Qingyu began explaining slowly.

She found Zhao Qingfeng’s recent frequent and increasing money requests suspicious.

Feeling something was wrong, she couldn’t get answers from him.

Today, she found one of his close friends.

He revealed that Zhao Qingfeng had become addicted to gambling and owed a lot of money.
