<<That’s right! You guessed it! It’s the new product launch of Kael Technology! This press conference is receiving so much attention because Kael Technology has claimed that their new series of products possess a power so great, it could destroy the world and regress our civilization by a step!>>
A lively and cheerful voice filled Night Love Radio, coming from one of the hosts, a little punk-styled girl in a loose leather jacket, with an incredibly extroverted and flamboyant personality. .𝒎
In contrast, her partner was the complete opposite, a reticent and gloomy girl covered entirely in an oversized hoodie, arms crossed, her heavy dark circles making one wonder if it was makeup or reality.
After the little punk’s statement, her gloomy partner deadpanned, <<Marsha, you read the script wrong. It should be [capable of changing the world, advancing our civilization by an era]>>
<<Hehehe, what’s the difference? I remember there was a famous person in Sin City who once said that the development of technology for them humans is just accelerating the process of self-destruction>>
<<Is that famous person you by any chance?>>
<<Uh, alright, Saya! We should be focusing on the live broadcast, stop going off-topic, or we’ll get complaints about filling time again!>>
<<I think that last sentence of yours was already filler>>
<<Cough!!!>>
The punk girl on the screen coughed heavily, and the director quickly switched the view to the live scene at Kael Square.
The vast square, despite Kael Technology’s strict personnel restrictions, was still packed with people. No amount of security could hold back some of the fervent fans, who always found various ways to squeeze in.
This press conference was also closely watched by a vast number of investors, all eager to get firsthand information on-site. After all, in the financial and stock markets, information is money. Getting information a second earlier than competitors could mean a profit difference of millions of Ashen coins.
Kael Technology had recently faced setbacks in Dragon Nation, leading to a decrease in company value and a drop in stock prices. Investors expected a positive announcement to boost the market, and now they were waiting to see just how good this news would be, questioning if the hype was justified by genuine substance.
Whether driven by fandom or financial interest, the crowd that flocked to the event meant the thousands of seats set up at the venue were far from sufficient. A dense crowd stood below the stage, countless eyes filled with anticipation focused on the giant screen at the center of the square.
Finally, as the curtain lifted, the press conference officially began. A beautiful hostess along with a director from Kael Technology’s board and senior management, took the stage to start the usual warm-up and introduction about Kael Technology. The screen behind them rotated through a series of short films themed on how technology changes life.
A report resembling an annual summary was revealed to the public, displaying Kael Technology’s worldwide arms deals worth billions.
With a charming and melodic voice, the hostess introduced the audience to the idea of Kael Technology.
The company’s distribution of weapons across the globe, arming those who were defenseless, provided the power to resist injustice, fend off malevolent forces, and defend themselves, undoubtedly making a significant contribution to world peace.
Director Allen immediately followed up, stating that Kael Technology would commit to exporting more weapons and equipment to the world in the future.
The company’s dream is to reach a day when everyone in the world can bear arms, as this is the only way to create a truly harmonious and stable society.
Under Director Allen’s passionate speech, the press conference crowd, particularly the supporters of Kael Technology, exploded into cheers and enthusiastic clapping.
Among them, presumably a fervent fan of Kael Technology, got so excited that he pulled out a handgun from his pocket and fired a shot into the air as a sign of respect.
This action instantly startled the surrounding crowd, with a few audience members instinctively pulling out their firearms, thinking it was some kind of terrorist attack and preparing to defend themselves.
This caused a chain reaction, and for a moment, gunfire was continuous.
Fortunately, Kael Technology’s security forces were not to be underestimated. Drones that had been on standby above the conference immediately locked onto the civilians who had fired shots and took them down with sniper fire to enforce physical silence.
Armed security personnel immediately entered the scene and dragged away those fans who had been taken down.
The chaos lasted less than half a minute before it ended, and the lively atmosphere of the venue quickly drowned out the incident, with the audience’s attention returning to the press conference as if nothing had happened.
Perhaps they were already accustomed to such occurrences and didn’t find it particularly shocking?
<<Tsk, tsk, Saya, look at that, this is the confidence of the people of our Dream City , so unflappable. If it were people from Dragon Nation or the Holy Kingdome, it probably would have turned into a complete mess, and the press conference would have been ruined, right? Thanks to Kael Technology! Technology changes life!>>
<<Forgot to tell you, Marsha, Kael Technology canceled our commercial order this morning>>
<<What!! So was all my hype earlier for nothing? Damn! This audience isn’t cutting it, how come they only fire guns, can’t they bring a missile to this broken fuck*ing press conference!>>
<<We’re still on air, Marsha, watch your language>>
<<Hmph, Saya, our Night Love channel’s audience likes exactly this, think about it, a grand press conference held by a giant company, only to be attacked, haha! This would definitely become the biggest joke in the Dream Cityfor the past month!
>>
<<Shut your mouth, we’ve already received enough legal letters because of you>>
The press conference continued smoothly, seemingly learning from the recent incident, with the host and Director Allen slightly moderating their language to keep the mood at the venue stable.
After briefly introducing some other products, the highlight of the press conference, the “Brand Technology” from the old era, was unveiled to the public for the first time.
Many were stunned by the concept that patterns could bring power. However, as Kael Technology demonstrated, these small patterns, once branded on weapons, could exert various miraculous effects. When the unbelievable became reality before their eyes, the press conference reached a new climax.
The sensation caused by this technology was undoubtedly huge, as the main feature of the Brand was flexibility, seen as a more powerful type of chip that could release immense energy in a small volume.
Next, it was time for the scholars from Sin City to take the stage, led by Professor Einstein, to provide some education on Brand technology, explaining its origins and principles.
The complex ancient knowledge might be hard for the general public to understand, but knowing that the essence of the Brand came from the old era was enough for them, undoubtedly adding a layer of mystery to the technology.
Less than a minute after the Brand Technology was announced, Kael Technology’s stock price skyrocketed like a rocket.
<<Saya, do you think if I draw a pattern like these Brands, I could also sell it?>>
<<Fool, Branding requires engraving technology finer than the nanoscale. A slight deviation from the original, and the Brand is no different from a regular pattern. Were you even listening to the Sin City professor?>>
<<Ah, I’ve always hated listening to professors drone on and on since I was little. But… hehe, young, fresh meat professors are an exception. If that guy were lecturing, I’d listen more seriously than anyone!>>
At the press conference, the camera shifted to the Sin City scholars on stage, with Professor Einstein at the forefront and the rest of the scholars lined up behind him, essentially serving as a backdrop.
The “guy” Marsha mentioned was among these scholars, a young doctor in a gray coat who caught Marsha’s eye instantly.
This young doctor, although trying to keep a low profile, stood out with his tall and handsome appearance among the scholars, many of whom wore thick glasses or hunched over.
<<Marsha, stop fangirling on the program. Focus on the commentary>>
<<Saya, you don’t understand. Who would tune into Night Love Radio for serious commentary? Our audience is here for fun. I think this fresh meat has the vibe of a novel’s male lead. My fun radar is going crazy. Focusing on him will definitely bring joy! Hey, director! Stop focusing on that old fart and give our channel’s female fans something nice to look at!>>
<<Heh, you really think a program led by a spicy host will have female fans?>>
Obviously, the director didn’t think so, especially after seeing many jealous comments from male fans in the program’s live chat, and quickly adjusted the camera to deliberately exclude the young professor from the frame, frustrating Marsha for a while.
As the press conference continued in an orderly manner with demonstrations of Brand weapons, the atmosphere was heating up for most people, but the hosts of Night Love Radio were somewhat disinterested, clearly not finding the unexpected fun they were hoping for.
Following Director Allen’s announcement to showcase the first set of “three-piece” Brands, the mood in the venue reached another peak.
Thanks to Professor Einstein’s explanation, everyone roughly understood that the strength of a Brand depends on the number of pieces in the set. By presenting a complete three-
piece set, Kael Technology was flaunting its absolute lead and advantage in Brand Technology.
A cube-like box rose from beneath the stage at the press conference. After multiple unlocks and verifications, the cube’s panels slowly opened, revealing three golden Brands floating and rotating inside a transparent protective cover.
This was the audience’s first time seeing the master Brands. Although the golden glow made it impossible to see the patterns, the mere radiance was captivating enough, almost like witnessing something divine.
Even Director Allen was swept up in the excitement. He approached the stage, breathing rapidly, and launched into a passionate speech to bring the press conference to a perfect close.
“Indeed, Kael Technology faced unfair treatment in Dragon Nation, losing many orders due to forces beyond our control, but I believe this is only temporary!”
“I deeply regret that the people of Dragon Nation cannot use Brand weapons, losing the most powerful means of defense. However, Kael Technology will not abandon anyone. We will not forget our initial purpose and will continue to actively communicate with Dragon Nation, striving to restore trade and deliver weapons to every citizen of Dragon Nation!”
“Finally, I, Zelens Allen, solemnly promise to you all that I and all the employees of the company will continue to innovate and break through with Brand Technology as our foundation, continuously producing excellent products. We will definitely make Kael Technology great again!!”
Following Director Allen’s fervent speech, a thunderous sound erupted in Kael Square.
Part of it indeed came from the enthusiastic applause of fans below and investors who had bought a large amount of Kael Technology’s stock.
But more of the “thunderous” noise came from…
A series of missiles streaking down from the sky.
