Chapter 310 - 310 309 How Did You Get Here
?Chapter 310: Chapter 309 How Did You Get Here? Chapter 310: Chapter 309 How Did You Get Here? President Zuo faced the livestream camera and introduced the 6D virtual technology.
Then, Mr. Yu stepped in front of the camera to highlight Apocalypse City and publicly opened the reservation channel for experience signups, welcoming players from around the globe to take part.
In addition to the pre-apocalypse scenarios Luo Ning and the others had set up in their earlier livestream, several new version backgrounds were offered, which would be unlocked one after another over time.
Viewers all over the world who were watching the livestream were boiling with excitement.
After watching the livestream, many people became intensely interested in experiencing Apocalypse City.
They rushed to sign up through the reservation channel immediately. Within just a few minutes, hundreds of thousands of players had signed up globally.
This showed the tremendous success of the competitive livestream.
Huaxia had no shortage of tycoons. Many, claiming they wanted to experience the same competitive games as Brother Ning, hurried to make reservations.
Even though the experience would be discounted by twenty percent for the first half year after Apocalypse City’s opening and the time shortened to half a month, the ticket still cost 240,000 Hua Coins per person.
Yet the signups continued non-stop, to the point that the reservation window nearly crashed from the influx.
Seeing such a rush for reservations, the organizers were very satisfied.
Then the livestream was shut down again, this time for good.
At the top of the building, President Zuo had the other teams sent away but kept the Huaxia Team.
Though the other teams left with some reluctance, they couldn’t deny that glory belonged to the champions – their envy was futile.
Besides President Zuo and two others, the rest of the research personnel also left.
President Zuo smiled at Luo Ning and her team, saying, “Please, take a seat!”
Once everyone was seated, President Zuo spoke again, “You all performed very well this time, not only promoting our helicopters but significantly boosting the exposure of Apocalypse City that we’ve created.”
“So apart from the ten million prize money for the champions, we are also prepared to give each of you an additional ten million in advertising fees.”
Luo Ning and the others had previously mentioned advertising fees as a joke, but they had not expected the organizers to be so generous and to actually bring it up.
Naturally, they would not refuse, “Great, thank you to the organizers and President Zuo.”
President Zuo then turned towards Luo Ning with an invitation, “Miss Luo, we can tell that you have a lot of insight into virtual technology. Would you be interested in joining our team?”
This was his main goal.
Luo Ning was not surprised by the invitation. She thought for a while and replied with a smile, “Can I take it as a part-time job?”
In her opinion, the organizer’s 6D technology was not yet perfect and had plenty of room for improvement.
She wanted technology in her world to continue to advance and was willing to lend a hand.
But if it meant working in a lab all day, she was not so keen. Hence her proposal for a part-time role.
President Zuo urged, “This technology has the power to change the world. I believe Miss Luo is very well suited to join us; it might even be more fulfilling than being a star.”
Luo Ning shrugged and smiled in response, “But I prefer the profession of an actor.”
“I might consider focusing on a particular industry after I retire from the entertainment circle, but for now, my focus is still on pursuing my acting career.”
She initially entered the entertainment circle for Ji Xinghang, but now she genuinely enjoyed acting and participating in variety shows, sharing joy and sorrow with her fans. She found it all very interesting.
Seeing that Luo Ning was serious, President Zuo sighed, “That’s a real pity.”
Then he changed the subject, “However, if you’re willing to take on a part-time role, that works too.”
“Whenever you have time each month, come by our headquarters to discuss and research with our technical team.”
He genuinely believed in Luo Ning’s potential and so he was willing to compromise; otherwise, they might lose such a high-tech research genius.
Luo Ning nodded with a smile, “No problem, we’ll coordinate over the phone.”
After President Zuo finished speaking, Mr. Yu stepped forward, saying, “Aside from this, we would also like to invite Miss Luo to be the spokesperson for Apocalypse City and the helicopters.”
“The endorsement for the helicopter, we’ve already spoken with your agent. He’s interested in working with us, but it still needs your decision to go ahead,” said Mr. Yu.
“Regarding the endorsement for Apocalypse City, we haven’t contacted him yet; we wanted to give you a heads-up first to see if you’re interested?”
Luo Ning thought for a moment and said, “I’m not sure about my schedule for the upcoming period; I need to discuss it with my agent and then get back to you, is that alright?”
She was indeed somewhat interested in these two endorsements.
Both the helicopter and the Apocalypse City experience belong to the luxurious advertising category, which could help enhance her status and fame.
Brother Fang hadn’t outright refused, which indicated he also wanted her to secure the endorsements.
Mr. Yu smiled politely and said, “Of course, no problem. We also hope Miss Luo will give us both another chance to collaborate.”
“On this side, whether it’s the helicopter or Apocalypse City, we initially didn’t plan to hire a celebrity for the endorsement.”
He added, “However, it was only after watching your live performance in the Apocalypse City competition that we unanimously decided to invite you for the endorsement.”
If Luo Ning declined, they would not consider other celebrities for the endorsement.
Now, nobody’s popularity matched Luo Ning’s, nor were they as fitting for the role.
However, they felt the likelihood of Luo Ning agreeing was quite high.
Luo Ning nodded with a smile, “I’ll give it serious thought.”
Afterward, President Zuo invited them to dinner.
In the afternoon, he also invited Luo Ning to the research laboratory to discuss issues like 6D virtual technology with their research team.
Yue Xiao and the others tactfully volunteered to explore Apocalypse City on their own.
Luo Ning didn’t hold back her expertise; she pointed out numerous problems for the research team and offered many practical and sensible suggestions.
This also made the researchers increasingly enthused about Luo Ning; they were eager to convince her to join them directly in technical research.
Luo Ning still declined, which they found quite disappointing.
In the end, they insisted strongly that Luo Ning join their R&D department’s chat group, so she could discuss more with everyone in the future.
Since it was already rather late today, the organizers decided to wait until tomorrow to transport Luo Ning and the others off the island.
Apocalypse City had its hotel; they could check in directly.
Coming out of the research laboratory, Yi Lingfeng took the initiative to speak to Luo Ning, “Let me drive you to your accommodation.”
This was also the first time Yi Lingfeng spoke to Luo Ning alone since they met.
Luo Ning smiled, “Sure!”
As Yi Lingfeng was driving, he said, “I didn’t expect you to be so strong in intelligent technology, aside from Feng Shui Mystical Technique.”
Luo Ning chuckled, “It’s alright, I quite like this field.”
She asked, “How’s your preparation going with the prescription I gave you?”
Yi Lingfeng replied with a smile, “It’s all ready; I can give it to you when we get back, so you can help me refine the Pills.”
“Thanks to your talisman, I’ve been able to get out and about again.” He had deeply experienced the miraculous effect of Luo Ning’s talisman.
Luo Ning laughed lightly, “Once you take the Pills and your body is in good order, you’ll be able to go anywhere you like.”
Yi Lingfeng showed a sincere smile of gratitude, “That’s what I was thinking too.”
He trusted and anticipated Luo Ning’s Pills.
After chatting leisurely for a while, they arrived at the hotel entrance.
Luo Ning opened the car door, “See you back in Huaxia!”
Yi Lingfeng nodded, “See you back in Huaxia!”
When Luo Ning walked into the hotel, she instantly noticed the handsome and elegant man sitting on the lobby sofa.
She walked over, surprised, “What are you doing here?”
