Xu Meng, in turn, advised Wu Shuang: "Don't be so extreme."
That's a lithography machine, not a bank.
If you rob a bank without leaving any evidence, the police might still be confused about who did it.
But robbing a lithography machine…
There are just too few suspects with a motive for that! Even without any evidence, everyone will suspect you.
It's really not necessary, especially when it's not an essential item.
Especially now that the US president has started building a 'digital wall,' he clearly has a strong suspicion of Zhumeng.
If you rob them of their most advanced lithography machine at this time, and steal it using holographic equipment and hacking techniques…
Xu Meng is worried: will it give this president a shock and add Zhumeng to the military blacklist, imposing a full-scale blockade?
— Today you can steal a ship without anyone knowing, will you sneak into the White House tomorrow and steal my Coke button?!
That would be a greater loss than gain.
Only then did Wu Shuang hang up the phone with some doubt.
… …
… …
In the following days, Xu Meng and Wu Shuang were both extremely busy.
Wu Shuang went to organize talent for Xu Meng, communicating with scientific research organizations and semiconductor production companies.
While educating Xiao Meng, Xu Meng seriously prepared for the public release of the Dream Maker.
The players' calls for Xu Meng naturally sank without a trace.
It wasn't until April 1st that he finally reappeared before everyone—
The official Zhumeng account suddenly released a live broadcast announcement:
[In 30 minutes, Zhumeng will hold a large product launch event!]
[Zhumeng founder Xu Meng will personally appear to introduce various magical products to player friends!]
[Players and media friends, don't miss it!]—
Below this live broadcast announcement were all skeptical voices from netizens:
"A surprise launch event? In just half an hour? This is too sudden!"
"A launch event? Today? Is this a serious launch event?"
"So, is this the April Fool's joke you guys prepared? Actually, there is no launch event, you're just tricking people, right?"
"This is too perfunctory."
"Don't waste your effort! I won't be fooled!"
"It might not be fake! I heard that Zhumeng also invited the media to attend."
It wasn't until half an hour later, when Zhumeng really started the live broadcast room, that the debate about "whether there is a launch event or not" came to an end.
Then everyone started discussing whether this launch event was "serious or not."
The discussion place also shifted from the announcement's comment section to the live broadcast room.
Xu Meng's personal appearance naturally brought a lot of attention.
As soon as the broadcast started, a large number of comments slid across the screen, greeting Xu Meng.
On the screen, Xu Meng, very rarely, was wearing a suit and standing on a lectern, with a huge LED display screen behind him.
The viewers in the live broadcast room saw Xu Meng's serious appearance and immediately straightened up a lot.
—As everyone knows, Xu Meng doesn't like wearing suits.
It seemed that he only wore a suit and looked serious when apologizing in videos.
At other times, he mostly wore loose clothes, relaxed and smiling.
Plus, he likes to cause trouble and do funny things.
In the hearts of netizens, he has almost become a stereotype.
But precisely because of this, his sudden appearance in a suit, appearing seriously in front of the camera, made netizens immediately take it seriously.
They also had more expectations for the products he was going to talk about next.
In such anticipation, Xu Meng began this launch event—
—
"Good morning, everyone!"
"Welcome to the 2026 Zhumeng Game Company and Shenjing Manyou Technology Co., Ltd. large product launch event!"
"At this launch event, we will show users all over the world a series of magical products full of whimsy!"
"The software and hardware engineers of Zhumeng Game Company and Shenjing Manyou Technology Co., Ltd. worked together and spent a lot of effort to bring these products to market."
"So first of all, I want to express my gratitude to their hard work!"
"By the way, I would also like to thank the young master of Yuanyang Group—Mr. Zhang Yang for his help!"
The camera suddenly turned to the audience.
Zhang Yang, who was also wearing a suit, looked decent in Xu Meng's eyes, but young and handsome in the eyes of netizens, appeared on the live broadcast screen.
It's just that Zhang Yang's expression at this time was not very natural.
He had a feeling of wanting to cover his face, but felt it was inappropriate, so he could only force a smile and wave at the camera.
On the contrary, Gu Chen, the editor-in-chief of "Game Observation," and the editor Huodao, who were sitting on his left, were full of anticipation and excitement.
On his right, sat Wu Shuang, looking serious.
Behind them were the local media from Ningzhou.
Further back were the players living around Jinghu.
After a brief shot of the audience, the camera returned to the stage again.
Xu Meng continued his straightforward style and went straight to the topic—
"Then, without further ado, let's go directly to the product introduction segment!"
He raised his hand and clapped twice.
The little assistant Chen Mengling, wearing a dress and blushing, walked gracefully onto the stage with a tray.
On the tray was a bottle of white wine.
Not knowing whether she was holding back a laugh or feeling embarrassed, the junior sister didn't look at Xu Meng or the audience, but only looked down at the tray and the wine in her hand.
Xu Meng, however, remained calm, picked up the bottle of white wine from the tray, and introduced it to the camera:
"This is the first product of this launch event!"
"[Vodka]!"
The players, who had become serious because of Xu Meng's formal attire and serious expression, were shocked on the spot:
"WTF, white wine????"
"Vodka???? Is the plagiarism so blatant????"
"A game company's product launch event, launching a bottle of white wine????"
The latest novels are first published on !
"Dude, get this straight, who needs to drink alcohol before playing games?"
"Then I have to ask, was this wine brewed by Zhumeng's software engineers, or Shenjing Manyou's hardware engineers?"
"Wait, why does the shape and label of this wine bottle look a little familiar????"
… …
Xu Meng's introduction continued:
"A popular alcoholic beverage during World War II, after the launch of 'War of Kings,' it has consumed more than 200 million bottles!"
"Among them, million bottles were drunk, million bottles were made into Molotov cocktails, and 30 million bottles were smashed at the enemy."
"More than 2 million enemies were stunned by it, and more than 4 million were burned to death after being ignited!"
"It is a well-deserved meritorious beverage, an essential product for killing and arson!"
… …
While Xu Meng was talking, the LED display screen behind him also began to play game footage from "War of Kings."
However, it was not a highlight reel of the game, but "the method of using battlefield white wine."
Various [Vodka] white wines being smashed, ignited, and thrown constantly appeared on the screen.
"We spent a lot of effort to finally reproduce this beverage!"
"Friends who like to drink or make Molotov cocktails, don't miss it!"
After Xu Meng finished speaking, the camera gave a close-up of the bottle of wine.
On the deliberately aged ginger-yellow label, there was also a slogan written:
【Smoking is harmful to your health】
After listening to Xu Meng's nonsense product introduction, and looking at the slogan on the wine bottle, the viewers finally reacted—
"I get it! This thing is still game peripheral????"
"I really drank it in the game! After drinking it, the character couldn't walk straight, haha."
"So where did the remaining 100 million bottles go? Were they shattered by bullets?"
"When I saw 【Smoking is harmful to your health】on the wine bottle, I thought Zhumeng made a mistake, it turned out to be intentional…"
"Buy, buy, buy! Molotov cocktail enthusiasts are ecstatic!"
… …
Amidst the excitement of the viewers, and Zhang Yang's face-covering and the media's bewildered expressions, the little assistant held back her laughter and carried the wine off the stage.
Then Xu Fang walked onto the stage, holding a large box in one hand and a small square table in the other.
After placing the table, he put down the box.
"Next is the next product! Also widely praised!"
Xu Meng nimbly opened the box.
"Table lamp: [The Virgin's Skirt ]!"
"Everyone should be able to see: Unlike the previous collector's edition, the Virgin has changed into a new skirt this time!"
"And we have added a brand new dressing mechanism for her!"
"You can change the skirt of the Virgin according to your own preferences—that is, change the lampshade of the table lamp!"
"At the same time, we have also added a game linkage mechanism to this product!"
"If you have ever used [Mind Cube], and happen to have a holographic display device at home, then…"
"You can let your virtual character appear on the bedside, filling in the missing upper part of the table lamp."
"At that time, it will no longer be just the Virgin's skirt that illuminates you, but the complete 'Virgin'!"
"At that time, Miss Table Lamp can not only help you illuminate, but also chat with you and lull you to sleep."
"If you happen to have tactile gloves or a somatosensory synchronization suit, then you can even touch your Miss Table Lamp!"
… …
Along with Xu Meng's narration, the large screen behind him also showed scenes of users interacting with Miss Table Lamp.
A player wearing silver-white tactile gloves stretched out his index finger and touched the fingertip of "Miss Table Lamp."
Smiles bloomed on both of their faces at the same time.
A burst of exclamations suddenly rang out from the audience!
The players in the live broadcast room were even more excited and shouting.
Only Wu Shuang, who had been worried about the social impact of the Dream Maker being made public, looked at Xu Meng with a question mark on her face.
What's the situation?
Isn't today the day you make the Dream Maker public?
What the hell are Vodka white wine and Miss Table Lamp???
