Chapter 289: #289 - Is it too late to apologize now?

Niiiko's little composition, being too abstract, quickly spread within China.

A bunch of people @'ed Xu Meng to go see it.

But now, how many overseas players are writing little compositions, not just Niiiko?

The United States, Europe, Asia, players from all major servers are writing little compositions!

Some use translators to write awkward Chinese, but more people still use their native languages.

For a time, all sorts of little compositions written in various languages ​​emerged on overseas social networks.

【Holographic】, 【Zhুমeng】, 【holographic display】 all rushed to the top of the trending topics list.

These contents were quickly discovered by various marketing accounts and "grilled meat men" who translate foreign internet hot topics. After adding subtitles and AI dubbing, they were transferred to the domestic network to cheat traffic.

In the end, even many foreigners rushed into the Chinese internet and directly petitioned Xu Meng.

Under this anxious and enthusiastic atmosphere, Xu Meng finally reacted—

He posted another update:

[Patience is key in life.]

Seeing this update, the little foreigners who came to find him were a little broken.

Not only were they broken, but a large number of domestic players who didn't grab the device were also broken:

"I'm asking you when the next batch will be, and you're telling me patience?!"

"It's almost the New Year, Boss Xu! Can't you be generous and give us 10 million units first? Being stingy during the New Year is outrageous!"

"I'm going to be anxious to death if I can't live with Qing Ling! And you're telling me patience?!"

"Amazing, the entire editorial department of 18 people grabbed it together, and not a single person grabbed it. What kind of video are we making?!"

"It was too sudden, without any preparation. By the time I knew, it was already sold out. The evaluation plan is ruined."

"Boss Xu, is there really no media purchase channel? We can help you promote it for free!"

"Boss Xu, my roommate has a terminal illness and is lying in bed. He may not survive this New Year. His last wish before his death is to see the sea, but he had brain surgery and can't wear VR glasses. Can you send me a holographic device to fulfill his last wish?"

… …

Xu Meng was reading the updates from various technology self-media and game up masters, seeking to buy the holographic devices that fans had bought, when Xiao Meng suddenly came over:

"Roommate has a terminal illness", "Last wish"…

Seeing these two classic keywords, he almost laughed out loud—

Doesn't this look fake?

But just in case, he still found this old brother's homepage and took a look.

Sure enough, there was no content about "roommate's serious illness".

Moreover, the last video he posted was a month and a half ago, playing 【Dragon Palace Treasure】 with his roommates.

The two people, with the couple IDs 【Happy is Superman】 and 【Sweetheart is Supered】, were scheming against people in the game.

The laughter was insane.

But it was full of energy.

It didn't look like a patient at all.

So he began to teach Xiao Meng some common sense about the Internet: "Xiao Meng, this is a common meme on the Internet. His roommate's terminal illness may not even be known to his roommate himself…"

"Those who write novels, draw comics, make movies, and make games have to read a lot of these kinds of comments every year."

"Don't take it too seriously."

"But…" Xiao Meng blinked, "What if it's real?"

Xiao Meng's question made Xu Meng silent.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he said: "Then let's send him a private message and ask."

"If it's real, we will not only send the holographic device, but also gather other things for him."

"If it's fake, we'll send him a comrade gift pack in the name of sending the device—send it to the school dormitory and wish him and his roommate a happy and healthy life."

"Yeah, yeah!" Xiao Meng didn't hear Xu Meng's homophone and nodded, immediately sending a private message to this netizen.

… …

… …

During the time Xu Meng was giving Xiao Meng an internet education, Herman, the CEO of Xinli Entertainment, fell into anxiety.

The speed at which holographic devices were launched on the market really caught him off guard!

Their countermeasures had only just begun and had not yet progressed to the specific implementation stage.

—Xinli Entertainment is only a part of the multinational company Xinli Group. Its political and economic relations cannot reach the highest level and need to be operated layer by layer through existing relationships.

With money paving the way, Herman didn't think there was a big problem.

But this takes time!

However, at Zhুমeng's current speed, by the time measures such as increasing tariffs, inquiries, investigations, and punishments are implemented, Zhুমeng will not know how many devices it can sell!

If this holographic device is really as strong as the online display—or even if it has half the effect, then players will never look back.

It's like using a high-resolution monitor, and then looking back at a low-resolution product, it will be blurry, and even see pixel points.

Will players who have used holographic display devices still go back to playing game consoles?

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

At this stage, every new user that Zhঘুমeng adds may cause Xinli Game Station to permanently lose a user!

This is something Herman cannot accept!

"We must speed up the progress!"

"Also, the game box side should also feel the crisis. We have to get them to take action too."

He no longer hesitated and asked his assistant to contact the CEO of Soft Game Box as soon as possible.

—At this time, even former rivals should unite to fight against foreign enemies.

… …

… …

[Hello, I am a Zhঘুমeng staff member. Is your roommate really seriously ill?]

Xiao Meng couldn't bear to say the word "terminal illness".

On the other side, Guo Zirui—that is, 【Happy is Superman】—was stunned when he saw this message.

But he quickly reacted, clicked on the other party's user information and took a look—wearing a second-dimensional cartoon avatar, and the homepage was empty, without any information related to Zhঘুমeng.

"Trying to scam me?"

[Yes, a very serious illness! Please send the device over as soon as possible, otherwise it may be too late.]

After quickly replying to the message, he looked up a little guiltily and looked at his roommate who was happily swiping his phone on the hospital bed.

But thinking about how he didn't go home for the winter vacation and stayed here to take care of this grandson, that little bit of guilt disappeared immediately.

Looking down again, the "liar" sent three more messages:

[Can you provide your roommate's medical records? It would be better if you have photos and videos.]

[If it is inconvenient to show your face, you can just give the medical records and hospital registration information.]

[If everything is true, I will arrange it as soon as possible.]

"?"

"Why does it look so real?"

Guo Zirui became a little uncertain and began to reverse verify:

[You first prove that you are really a Zhঘুমeng staff member, such as a work permit, a photo of the work station, and attendance records.]

The other side was silent for a few seconds and sent a QR code.

[Please add me as a friend.]

"Could it be real?" Guo Zirui scanned the code a little guiltily to add a friend.

The other side instantly passed, and then made a video call without stopping.

Guo Zirui hesitated for a few seconds and chose to answer.

"Hello!"

Xu Meng's face appeared on the phone.

"? ? ?"

Guo Zirui's pupils shrank!

He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at his roommate with a question mark on his face, and a thought flashed in his mind:

Is it too late to do it now?

The evil thought flashed away.

He squeezed out an ugly smile with difficulty: "…Boss Xu?"

"What a coincidence, you are also browsing p station?"

"Is it too late to apologize now?"
