Su Hou did not stare at the numbers on the screen. In his opinion, only Fang Zhao could produce such numbers. Furthermore, Fang Zhao had been the only one in the room. If it was not him, who else could it be?
However, Su Hou's attention only lingered on the numbers for half a minute before he remembered the reason he had rushed over.
"Master Zhao, the 10th-generation console has arrived. Shall I get them to move it over?" Su Hou was a little impatient. He had long wanted to play with the 10th-generation console. Even if it was just some games for minors or some educational games targeted at brain development, it was still a 10th-generation console! Suddenly, he felt like he was being pretentious!
The 10th-generation console was a limited edition. Only 100 units had been issued in the first batch, and they had all been snatched up by large e-sports clubs or influential figures from various continents. Because Muzhou's e-sports atmosphere was not as good as other continents and because of the Su family's special status, two or three units had been saved up, regardless of whether they played or not. The one Su Hou's father had sent over had been bought from someone in the family for close to 100 million.
Under normal circumstances, Su Hou's father would definitely not have spent so much money on a game console. It was not like he had too much money to spend. For the same price, Su Hou's father would rather buy a luxury car than a game console. However, to placate the rebellious Su Hou, coupled with the internal and external pressure from the family and the media, Su Hou's father had gritted his teeth and bought it.
The price of this console was equivalent to a small farm in Muzhou. However, in the eyes of Muzhou people, whether it was worth it or not was not measured in this way. A farm was a guarantee of life, but a game console? Who knew if a fatal bug would appear or a new model would replace it in a few years. That would not be worth it.
But Su Hou was happy. After all, he already had a farm. Regardless of what outsiders said about the willfulness of youth, he felt that this deal with his father was worth it.
Su Hou watched as a few bodyguards brought in a square-shaped black metal box. The walkway and door were wide enough, so it did not take much effort to bring it in.
"It hasn't been used before?" Fang Zhao asked.
"Apparently, an elder in the family bought it through Fiery Bird's connections, but it hasn't been used since. After my dad bought it from him, he sent it to me directly. The box has never been opened, so it definitely hasn't been used before," Su Hou said.
As he spoke, Su Hou scanned his identity information. The item had already been transferred to his name, so he could use his identity verification to open the box. Inside the metal box was a transparent box made of an unknown material. Inside the box was a white humanoid machine with black markings and a red Fiery Bird logo. It was the same as Fang Zhao's.
"You still need a professional engineer. The Fiery Bird branch closest to the farm should send someone over to help you with the installation and debugging," Fang Zhao said. That was how he was at that time. As soon as he received the goods, an engineer would call to make an appointment to do some debugging.
"You need engineers? Can't I just use it? " When Su Hou heard this, he went online to check. There was only one Fiery Bird branch in Muzhou that could send engineers to debug the 10th-generation console, and it was located in Qingcheng. When he made an appointment with that branch, the reply was that all the engineers had been sent out today and the engineers who were in charge of debugging the 10th-generation console would only be able to return the next day.
Su Hou was dumbfounded. He had wanted to use it on the spot, but did that mean he couldn't use it today?
"It can't be used without an engineer?" The smile on Su Hou's face crumbled. Following that, he thought of something and looked at Fang Zhao expectantly. "Master Zhao, didn't you use the 10th-generation console before? Can you help out with the debugging? "
"I only know some simple things. I can give it a try," Fang Zhao replied.
"Master Zhao, go ahead and give it a try! It's fine if you don't succeed, "Su Hou said.
"Making it simple to use is no problem, but we still have to get a professional engineer to come over for the debugging and calibration."
"No problem. Master Zhao, go ahead and give it a try first. I just want to use it as soon as possible and don't want to play any complicated games. I have made an appointment with an engineer to come over tomorrow and let him conduct the calibration and debugging." Su Hou wanted to experience the 10th-generation console as soon as possible.
During the installation and debugging of Fang Zhao's 10th-generation console, he had been present and had witnessed the entire process. During Fiery Bird's annual conference, he had been invited over by Fiery Bird's R&D department to assist in the experiments and had understood a little. The chief engineer of the R&D department had also explained in detail the other functions of the 10th-generation console. He couldn't compare to a professional engineer, but making the machine run some small games was not a problem.
Fang Zhao dismantled the inner box and moved the machine out. According to his memory, he installed the few missing parts of the machine and started the preliminary debugging.
Fang Zhao could settle this alone and didn't need any help. Su Hou sat at the side and watched. Curly Hair crouched at the side and watched Fang Zhao fiddle with the machine and then looked at Su Hou, who was studying the machine curiously. Then, Curly Hair jumped onto the sofa and lay down beside the beginner console's gaming helmet.
Along the way, Su Hou received a call from his two younger sisters. They said they were looking at the lambs on the farm but planned to go to the mountains behind the farm to play later.
Su Hou himself often went to the mountains to play, so after some thought, he agreed and instructed his bodyguards, "You guys follow a few more and let the farm employees lead the way, but don't go too far. Come back after playing for a while."
In a short while, Fang Zhao had finished his work. After trying it out, it was still alright. Compared to the 10th-generation console that he was using, there were still some differences, but it wasn't too big.
Su Hou leaned over. "It's already done?"
"It's still lacking a little. Just wait for the engineer to come over tomorrow and make the precise adjustments."
"That means there are no problems using it now? Let me try! "
The machine could automatically adjust to the user's physique, but after Su Hou put on the 10th-generation console, he realized that... operating it was especially taxing! It was much more difficult than using the beginner console!
Without professional measuring equipment and programs, Fang Zhao didn't know what Su Hou's adaptability value was when using the 10th-generation console. However, seeing how much effort Su Hou was putting into using it, Fang Zhao knew that the adaptability value was definitely not high.
"You can use some of the small games inside to slowly get used to it. When you get used to it, it will be much easier," Fang Zhao said. He had heard from people in Fiery Bird's R&D department about Su Hou's situation. It wasn't a serious problem. In the future, when he used it more often, his adaptability value would naturally increase.
Su Hou was only halfway through playing a small adaptation training game that came with the machine, but he was already sweating profusely.
"No way, it's too tiring!" Su Hou disconnected from the 10th-generation console. Not only was his body tired, his mind was also exhausted. This was the result of directly leaping from the beginner console to the newest 10th-generation console.
"It should be because you haven't found the knack. The 10th-generation console is different from the beginner console. Your brain and body need to self-adjust..."
"Wait!" Su Hou interrupted Fang Zhao and asked, "Master Zhao, are you sharing your experience?"
"Mmhm."
"Then, Master Zhao, can I start a live broadcast?" Su Hou asked.
Ever since Su Hou had become famous at the sheep-herding competition, he had picked up the hobby of live broadcasting. However, he did not broadcast the rebellious events of puberty. Instead, he broadcast the remodeling of the farm. This was to tell others that he was really hardworking and had not been lazy. He had done many things personally. At the same time, he wanted to let more people know the name of Dongshan Farm and its changes. This was also a decision he had made after consulting with his cousin, Su Feng. He wanted to maintain the image of an inspirational youth that he had created during the sheep-herding competition.
Because he was a member of the Su family, and because Muzhou's entertainment media loved to report on him, and because the sheep-herding competition had garnered a lot of attention, the moment Su Hou started a live broadcast, there were naturally many viewers.
However, after Su Hou finished asking the question, he felt that it was inappropriate. He was no longer a wimpy kid who didn't know anything. He knew that Fang Zhao was willing to teach him because of their partnership, but many professional athletes would not publicly share their experiences. Fang Zhao was not officially taking in disciples and had not received any teaching fees. Why should he do a free live broadcast? Many people wanted to know how the 10th-generation console operated and how it felt, yet he had actually asked Fang Zhao if he could do a live broadcast. He had simply asked without thinking.
"Cough, my bad. I shouldn't have asked this..."
"Sure."
"What?" Su Hou looked at Fang Zhao in astonishment.
"You can do a live broadcast," Fang Zhao replied.
"But Master Zhao, aren't you afraid that your experiences will be learned by others?"
"Not at all. Go on, I'm ready to talk. "Fang Zhao turned around and walked over to the 10th-generation console.
"OK! I'll be done right away! "
The moment Su Hou started a live broadcast, fans who followed him swarmed over.
"Yo, Fatty Su is finally doing a live broadcast! I heard you got beaten up by your dad? "
"Fatty Su's face isn't injured. He probably received treatment."
"Every month, Fatty Su will have a few chuunibyou episodes and refuse treatment. I'm used to it."
The various trivial matters of Su Hou's family had already become the topic of conversation among the people of Muzhou. At the start, everyone had misgivings about Su Hou's status and it had been difficult to say much, but gradually, everyone understood Su Hou's character and spoke more boldly.
In the past, Su Hou's old fans who followed him called him Little Fatty Su. After Su Hou had participated in the sheep-herding competition, the amount of exercise from training had been too great, and he had slimmed down. After the sheep-herding competition ended, even if he followed those experts around the fields every day, the amount of exercise was far less than the sheep-herding training. Once the amount of exercise decreased, his weight returned.
Other people grew taller during puberty, but Su Hou continued to gain weight and grow taller. Now, everyone no longer called him "Little Fatty Su" but "Fatty Su."
Some viewers who had watched Su Hou grow up had disliked him at the start, but after some time, they felt that this kid was actually rather interesting. His IQ was not high, and his EQ was not high either. In the past, he had always been cheated and had offended many people. Unexpectedly, his luck had taken a turn for the better. Although they were still doing stupid things now, everyone was just talking about it for fun. They also had a feeling of resentment that iron didn't meet their expectations. They weren't like when they first started calling each other "stupid" and "retarded".
Two days ago, when the photo of Su Hou being beaten up by his dad had been released, although everyone had been in the mood to watch a good show, they could not help but be a little worried. Furthermore, Su Hou had not done a live broadcast for a few days, so everyone had been even more worried. Now that Su Hou had started a live broadcast, everyone saw that he was fine and started laughing and joking again.
But very quickly, everyone's attention was drawn to Su Hou's words.
Su Hou had set up an automatic camera lens and let it follow Fang Zhao as he said, "For everyone's benefit, Master Zhao is willing to share his 10th-generation console experience and impart some tips and tricks to those who have never used it before or are new to it."
Globally, everyone knew that there were only about 100 10th-generation consoles. The majority of gamers had no way of coming into contact with the 10th-generation console, and those who used the 10th-generation console were not willing to share their own experiences and feelings. This made it hard for them to even look at it. Now that they heard that Fang Zhao wanted to share his experience, gamers immediately informed their friends in their respective chat groups. Some gamers from other continents who did not pay attention to Su Hou or Dongshan Farm rushed over at top speed.
"Master Zhao? Is Fatty Su referring to the number one player in 'Battle of the Century', AliveAfter500Years, Fang Zhao? "
"What? My Zhao god is actually going to broadcast his 10th-generation console experience? Finally, someone has heard our wishes and is willing to share! "
"It's really Fang Zhao! There's even a 10th-generation console! "
On the other side, Fang Zhao had already started explaining. He tried his best to make it easy to understand so that Su Hou could remember and understand.
Fang Zhao had no intention of hiding this sort of experience. He could even share his creative experiences and insights, so he had no intention of hiding his gaming console experience and insights.
And as the first gamer to achieve a high adaptability value of 99 using a 10th-generation console, even professional gamers from big e-sports clubs came to watch after receiving the news. Regardless of whether they could use it or not, there was no harm in listening. Who knew, there might be an unexpected surprise?
Very quickly, various entertainment media outlets also reported on this matter. In Qi'an City, Wayne, who had just arrived in Yanzhou and returned to the company, also received the news. He searched for Su Hou's live broadcast channel and saw the number of online viewers. His face lit up.
Hahaha, he had originally thought that after Fang Zhao had gone to Muzhou, there would definitely not be much to talk about and he had been thinking about how to stir things up. Now, it seemed like he did not even need to do anything. The attention had come!
Wayne immediately contacted the company's person in charge of the live broadcast. "What is the company's gaming channel broadcasting now? Just finished broadcasting a game and now they are broadcasting an advertisement? It's stopped! "
Wayne got the company's live broadcast channel to change its original plans and apply for a live broadcast.
After the arrangements were made, Wayne contacted the people in the operations department to discuss how to use this matter to hype things up.
Over at Muzhou's Dongshan Farm, Fang Zhao did not care about how many people were watching the live broadcast. He continued his explanation. After a while, he would ask Su Hou what he did not understand. If there was any doubt, he would use other methods to explain it to Su Hou.
Because Fang Zhao's explanation was simple, even people who did not play games could listen with great interest.
Su Hou was listening attentively when a person in charge of the farm gave him a call saying that a flying transport had requested to land at the farm's landing pad. It would not be overnight and would leave after resting for two hours.
As Memorial Day approached, the number of flying transports and flying cars coming and going increased. Landing pads for medium and large farms often had such requests. Su Hou was in a good mood and did not think much of it.
"Allow them to land. I'm in a good mood today, so there's no charge!" Su Hou used his status as a farm owner to approve the other party's landing.
Su Hou turned his head and said to Fang Zhao, "Master Zhao, please continue."
But Fang Zhao did not continue. He was silent for two seconds before suddenly saying, "Leave this place!"
Curly Hair, who had been sprawled on the chair, also started howling.
Su Hou was pulled by Fang Zhao and ran toward the door. They had not even taken two steps when there was a huge tremor beneath their feet, as if something had struck the ground with great force.
The huge sound of impact approached in an instant. The walls of the gaming room collapsed in an instant. The house that had not even been built for half a year had been reduced to ruins in the blink of an eye. The people inside could not be seen either.
