Five years ago, Lei Ji was still resting in the wastelands.
One year was divided into two halves. One half was used to prepare all kinds of daily necessities and food for Lei Ji. The other half was used to hide in the caves and listen to the thunder. They shivered and prayed to their ancestors that disaster would not befall them.
The arrival of the Aishi People brought with them the torch of a foreign civilization, but it also changed this era.
The light chased away the darkness. The night was no longer a limiting condition for life. Other than making babies at night, there were many new options.
The city chased away the thunderstorms. When Lei Ji arrived, not only were the people not restricted by external conditions, they could even celebrate the arrival of sunlight.
During Lei Ji, the new city welcomed a period of rapid development. The sunlight not only brought abundant sunlight and vision, but it also brought abundant firepower and positive emotions to the citizens. Following that, a series of traditional celebrations made the people of Seymour even more eager to work and fight.
With holidays to accumulate energy, work to vent their fighting spirit and income, and entertainment to relax their body and mind, the citizens of this city were getting more and more used to the pace of life of the outsiders.
However, they definitely had not seen this new thing before.
"Virtual reality game? What is this? "
As the number one publication in Vila Nova Dônia, Absolute Reality's important advertising spots were not only expensive, but they also had to go through a series of qualification checks.
Fake materials? No.
Exaggerated effects? No.
What was the difference between a product and a photo poster? Don't even think about it.
The overly strict advertising standards had rejected a lot of good business, but it also gave the Seymour people, who had not been bombarded with false advertisements, a very good idea. The advertisements on Absolute Reality were all good things. Perhaps they were a little expensive, but there were no problems with their performance and quality.
The result was that the effects of the advertisements were shockingly obvious. It even increased the advertising fees.
Actually, just the income from the cover advertisement alone was enough to support all the costs and expenses of the editorial department of Absolute Truth. The profits could be ignored for now, but in terms of relationships and connections, it was a solid strategic resource.
Just like when other news publications promoted Rorschach, the Game Church did not only pay with money, but also with connections and the inclination of their position.
Perhaps it was because of that time when they had to not only give money to someone else, but they also had to serve that person as if he was their grandson. That time, they realized the importance of public opinion, which was why they worked so hard to manage the magazine and reach this point.
This time, Absolute Reality rejected many big clients. More than half of the advertisements and more than ten pages of the official publication were for a new product. Of course, it caused a lot of discussion.
"AR-03 Virtual Reality Helmet? 300 New City God Tribute? A game and entertainment facility is so expensive. Why don't they go rob a bank! "
But very quickly, the citizens were attracted by the advertising on the posters.
"A complete and real world, not only for entertainment and life, but also for learning new knowledge and skills, and for combat training in a completely simulated environment without any danger to one's life. If you buy the full set now, it will come with a magic armor driving course worth 400 Divine Tributes. It will allow you to learn how to drive the magic armor in a safe and comfortable environment. "
Finally, after paying such a price and working so hard, the Game Church finally revealed its fangs and ambitions after successfully obtaining a position in the upper echelons of the new city.
A complete and highly simulated virtual gaming world based on the Divine Kingdom of the God of Games had taken three and a half years to build and nurture, and was finally ready to be brought out.
Now that the Game Church's situation was stable, there would not be a war in the near future. Lei Ji's enclosed environment also allowed the Game Church to complete their plans safely.
Rorschach and the Game Church had prepared for a long time to expand their faith and influence so that Lori could become a God. The entire plan had been revised dozens of times. Finally, it was time to implement it.
"Why do you insist on being a God of Games? It's all for this day. "
In the Game Church's internal meeting, Rorschach announced the entire plan with this sentence.
"Another world. Yes, an entire world. Perhaps you don't understand what this means, but think about it. The growth of the New God's Church depends on the Descenders as the seed and skeleton. If we can mass-produce Descenders in Ansorenne … Yes, mass-produce Descenders. I'm not crazy. This is a plan that has been tested repeatedly. As long as there are no external factors affecting it, our success rate is 100%! "
In the internal meeting, Rorschach could still confidently announce the plan. But when the first batch of products hit the market and the entire plan was laid out, he could not help but break out in cold sweat.
"… Isn't this a little too rushed? Perhaps we should control the cost. The first batch of products that we sell at a loss is acceptable. 300 Divine Tributes is enough for an ordinary family to work hard for more than a month. "
Looking at the scattered buyers outside the sales point, Rorschach was worried that the price was still too high. At the same time, he was also a little uneasy.
[Don't worry, Big Bro. Isn't this situation within our expectations? We've calculated it so many times. There won't be any problems.]
The usually carefree Rorschach was worried about his gains and losses. After all, this plan was far too important. It was even directly related to Lori's life and death. On the other hand, the usually impatient Lori was the one consoling Rorschach.
[Man proposes, God disposes. We've been preparing for so long. Let's get over it.]
"… Perhaps we can delay it for a while and wait for the external conditions to be more complete. Right now, I still have that Titan problem to deal with. Cape Town isn't peaceful either. There's also the pressure from the major churches …"
[That's why we need more power, right?]
Rorschach lowered his head. When he raised his head again, his eyes had regained their calm. His tightly clenched fists had loosened, and his expression had also returned to normal.
Actually, Rorschach had always understood this logic. But now that he had gambled his entire life and many years of savings, even Rorschach needed some time to catch his breath.
Numerous red boxes contained the devices' clients. They were a combination of technology and magic. They were the key to the virtual world, and also the only thing that Lori could rely on for her position as a God.
Meanwhile, at the top floor of the Victory Tower in Vila Nova Dônia, all the Church's descenders had gathered and were waiting for their targets to descend.
Time passed by slowly. The sales situation in the outer area was still half dead. However, no one showed any signs of slacking off. Finally, when the clouds above the Lightning Pool were torn apart, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
