Chapter 248: A Successful Launch
Su Tong smiled with satisfaction as she had them where she wanted them.
"We have created a system that would allow people to enter a different reality. A world that isn't restrained by the world that we were born in,"
Su Tong walked forward, the beam of light chasing her red-clad figure.
"Everyone, we would like to introduce you to Infinity!"
"Our world of endless possibilities!"
Even without knowing what she was talking about, many people applauded and started cheering.
Their hearts had been completely stirred by her every speech and action.
Looking at the stage, Mo Fan shook his head twice before breaking eye contact with Su Tong's figure.

"Sister-in-law, you can't have called someone that uses magic, right?"
"Even without revealing the main product, the whole room is already stirred up,"
Rong Yue smiled.
She had seen Su Tong's performance before. Rather, she had experienced the peak of Su Tong's career in her last life.
She knew that this was even small. She was like a person blessed by the heavens. Her every action was pleasing, and people wanted to listen to her.
By placing her on a stage, it was like having her sit on her throne.
But even then, she had exceeded Rong Yue's expectations.
As rehearsed, the veil behind Su Tong was brought down, and a large screen was presented to people.
"Ehn, what is this?"
"Let's just wait, I'm going to make sure I don't blink,"

People had similar reactions.
The screen came on, and the symbol for infinity designed in interlocking blue and purple, was displayed on the screen.
Immediately, a mechanical voice rang out from the speakers in the hall.
[Welcome to infinity, would you like to create a profile or explore our world as a guest?]
"For testing purposes, we would be exploring Infinity as a guest to let everyone know what this world is all about," Su Tong explained and the people behind the screen selected the guest option.
Satisfied, Su Tong nodded and waited for the next pop-up.
Manager Bai and Lu San already walked her through the process multiple times.
As soon as the character design phase came up, Su Tong spoke again.
"Today, because of my lack of expertise, I would be unable to be your tour guide. However, we have gotten a group of people that are especially skilled in this field,"
As she said this, four men and one woman walked onto the stage and gave a curt bow to the audience.
"These are our beta testers, they would show everyone how the largest part of the infinity world works," after saying this, she stepped back until she was backstage.
As for the stage, the entire place was now properly lit up, and people were able to see the seats that had been arranged for the beta testers.
The five of them sat down. On each person's table, there was a control and virtual lenses.
As they settled in, Manager Bai walked to the stage.
"Infinity is a personalised world. Because of this. Even though we have a group here, everyone would only be able to see what one person is playing,"
Like that, he explained to them while it would be a group that is displayed on the screen. Only one out of the five testers could be the main character.
As soon as that person lost, the game on the screen would end.
The other four were playing from different profiles that were in front of them.
Everyone waited excitedly as the character design started.
The girl's screen was the one being displayed to everyone, and she designed her character to look like Su Tong.
Seeing that familiar image and how real it looked, everyone in the hall and the ones watching the livestream were stunned.
"It is so real?"
"I think what's shocking is that it created this in minutes! It looks like she entered the screen."
"In infinity, it's your world where you can decide what you would look like. And with our extremely large database, you would get your character in a few minutes."
A lot of people were already impressed with how real the character came out.
But they were even more stunned when the game started.
Although it was in a place of ruins, it was lifelike.
When the character picked up a cup and a broken bottle, it was almost as though they were watching a real life movie.
For the next one hour, the opening explored the game and the virtual world that infinity had to offer.
After a round of game was lost, Su Tong came on stage again and explained the different challenges and some rewards that came with playing.
More importantly, she made sure to hint at the audience that there was a lot more coming in the future.
With the thought that this was just the beginning, a lot of people were even more excited.
Gaming was already a thing, in fact, it was a fast growing and many gamers and enthusiasts were starting to look at it like a career.
But there had never been anything so lifelike yet in the industry.
"The gaming set would be sold at a launch price here. After now, it would be sold in infinity stores and branches,"
As agreed, the price was higher than other game sets but not by a wide margin.
For the first sale, Rong Yue was not focusing on profit and wanted people to buy and fall in love with it.
Infinity was a slow journey. For her. She had plans to use it to build economic power and so she couldn't rush things.
With Su Tong, two hundred pieces sold out on the spot and the website was already showing out of stock from the first hour.
As she was informed from the backstage, she had no choice than to end the sales.
Even though she was the one that designed it, Rong Yue also bought three sets.
As the opening was done with, their group of four left through the side door.
With Qin Yichen gone, the decorum in the room was broken apart as several of them quickly rushed at Manager Bai and Su Tong.
"Which conglomerate is Infinity under?"
"Is this another subsidiary under the Qin Group?"
Manager Bai made sure that Su Tong was behind him while several body guards rushed forward to also protect them.
"We are not refusing a press coverage but we would request that, until there is decorum, we would not be answering any questions."
As Manager Bai said this, most of the reporters stepped back as they knew that the most important thing was the coverage.
"Manager Bai, are you the one in charge of the company?"
"Yes, I'm the one. We previously launched games for kids at our various arcade centers across the city. After seeing how helpful they were in helping children have a good time," he paused, allowing most of the reporters to finish with the transcribing before he continued.
"We then decided that it wasn't only kids that deserved to be happy, even the adults and teens needed to be happy too."
"This led to the birth of Infinity, a world where you can be anything you want to be!"
"It's only a game, is it just a marketing strategy to have you guys say such big promises?" Another reporter asked, he felt that since it wasn't a subsidiary of Qin Group, he didn't have to worry too much.
"Hehe, it might sound like big words but the mind is the most important part of our identity. As long as you can get a few minutes or hours where you can be anything you want to be, that's more than enough for a lot of people."
"More importantly, what you have seen today can be said to be the tip of the iceberg. There's so much more to explore when you get the game set. And so much more coming from our end."
Seeing that he was well prepared for them, very few raised opposing questions and a lot of people just wanted to know how things would go from here.
For things that they had planned to discuss, Manager Bai talked about it.
For matters that Rong Yue didn't instruct him on, Manager Bai evaded those questions very easily.
"Let's end it here today, subsequently. We would be meeting with you people and giving you more details on Infinity."
"Miss Su Tong, don't me leave yet!" A reporter shouted as soon as Manager Bai gave a bow and was ready to leave.
"Your skills are very impressive and you handled the opening like a professional, can we know where you work and how other companies can contact you?"
Standing behind Manager Bai, Su Tong's face went pale from fright as she heard that question, after all, there was no way she could talk about where she used to work.
Even though she trusted that Rong Yue could save her. Until she was free, she didn't want to endanger her sister.
