The Dream Building Super Factory, located in the suburbs of Ningzhou, has been in operation for over a month.
Its production capacity is still ramping up, and there's still some distance to go before reaching its peak.
However, that's in comparison to the scale of a "Super Factory." Compared to conventional factories, its production capacity is already quite considerable.
Zhang Yang's side, concerning the holographic device itself, had already rolled out the production line early on, and the finished products had filled the warehouse.
Therefore, Xu Meng decided—
To release a batch for sale first, considering it a New Year's gift for the players.
So, 500,000 holographic devices and 1,000,000 holographic mediums were launched on the Dream Building Mall in a surprise attack!
Afraid of being criticized by netizens for hunger marketing, Xu Meng didn't even dare to promote it.
He just once again played the role of a cryptic person, posting a dynamic on bilibili to hint—
[Prepared a batch of New Year's goods, waiting for those with fate.]
This dynamic, with its unclear meaning, left netizens quite puzzled:
"Those with fate? What 'those with fate'?"
"Are you going to do a lottery?"
"Bored and want to throw money around? Me, me, me!"
"Although I don't know what it means, I'll reserve a spot first."
"Cryptic person, get out of Mansheng Metropolis!"
… …
Rather, those who were quick-witted had already swiftly searched Dream Building's official accounts, homepages, launchers, and mall pages after seeing the dynamic.
Upon discovering the holographic devices that had been launched suddenly, they didn't rush to the comments section to decipher the riddle, but instead quickly placed their orders!
There was no need for any hesitation.
Even if they didn't play games themselves, they could make a profit by reselling it, with the only difference being the size of the profit.
However, even though their reactions were already so swift, the moment they pressed the buy button, most people only saw a pop-up window—
[Product sold out]
"? ? ?"
In a toilet cubicle at the National United Laboratory for Materials Science, young graduate student Chen Zhi stared blankly at his phone screen.
"It's sold out already? ? ?"
"Are you kidding me?!"
A minute ago, the professor was holding a meeting for them when the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
He secretly took a look and found that Xu Meng from his [Special Attention] list had posted a dynamic.
Chen Zhi's reaction was undeniably quick, and he immediately associated it with the holographic device!
He had been waiting for this thing for a long time!
Without caring too much, he immediately stood up and raised his hand: "Professor! My stomach hurts, I think I have diarrhea!"
The professor blinked. "Do you want me to wipe your butt for you? Hurry up and go!"
Chen Zhi slipped into the toilet, took out his phone, and quickly locked onto the product to place an order.
But he only saw the prompt [Product sold out].
He stood up, greatly disappointed.
Immediately, he realized something was wrong: How could diarrhea be so quick?
So he sat back down comfortably on the toilet lid and took out his phone to urge Xu Meng—
"Are you kidding me?! It's gone already? ? Hurry up and screw the screws!"
Anyway, Xu Meng didn't know who he was across the internet.
Not satisfied after replying, he opened various social networks and passionately surfed the web.
As he expected, the social networks were in an uproar!
Below Xu Meng's comments, a group of people woke up as if from a dream:
"Hey, bro, can you be clearer next time? ?"
"I've been preparing the money for months, but I can't buy it?"
"Didn't you say you built a super factory? Where's the 'super' in it? Could it be super trash?!"
"Order placed, looking forward to delivery."
"Restock, restock!"
"When is the next batch? ?"
… …
Chen Zhi scrolled down and didn't see Xu Meng show up.
So he switched to Mengjin—
[Got it! A thirty-year-old single great magician, how can his hand speed be undeserved? !]
[Hahaha, finally saved enough money and planned to buy a somatosensory synchronization suit, but saw the holographic device as soon as I went in!]
[Anyone want a holographic device? Reselling for 200,000! Fresh and hot!]
[Reselling holographic device, 190,000!]
[Damn, a can of medium is 1200 yuan? Who can afford that? ?]
[Reminding everyone, this thing is limited to one per person, think carefully if you want to resell it.]
[Brothers, holographic device live evaluation tomorrow! Lock in my live broadcast room!]
… …
Chen Zhi flipped through a few pages of the forum and found that in just a few minutes, the resale price had rolled from 200,000 to 130,000.
"Good! Roll it hard! I'll buy it when it rolls below 10,000!"
He didn't know how Dream Building did it, but the price of the holographic device itself was actually cheaper than VR glasses.
Instead, the holographic medium was a bit expensive, selling for 1200 yuan a can.
Chen Zhi himself had roughly estimated that the cost of the first batch of medium produced in the laboratory was over a million, frighteningly expensive.
Dream Building was now selling it for 1200 yuan a can, which was already an incredibly conscientious price.
But the problem was: this price was indeed a bit expensive for players.
After all, this was a consumable.
"Will this be criticized by haters?"
Chen Zhi wanted to see the negative voices, so he opened Weiguan.
Sure enough, the four characters 【Holographic Device】 had already landed on the hot search.
Clicking in to take a look, there were indeed people saying the price was unreasonable, but compared to another topic, the popularity was insignificant—
[Did Xu Meng really make a holographic device? Wasn't that fake news to scam investors?]
"Huh?"
Chen Zhi rarely browsed Weiguan, and now he was stunned when he suddenly saw this topic.
The newest novels are first published on 69shuba!
"During the New Year's Eve live broadcast, there were so many local videos, and official media转发报道 reported it, and there are still people who think it's fake? ?"
He clicked into the comments section, not believing it, and found that there were actually a large number of people who still suspected Xu Meng was cheating people.
Saying that those who bought now were fools… …
Chen Zhi pursed his lips, not knowing what expression to make.
"Forget it, you guys be happy."
He continued to browse his phone, getting more and more excited.
Until—
"Knock knock knock!"
The door of the toilet cubicle was suddenly knocked, startling him.
"Occupied!" he said loudly.
"I know someone's in there!" The professor's voice sounded outside the door.
"You said you had diarrhea, but you haven't come out for a long time, and there's no sound in the toilet. I'm afraid you fainted inside."
"Do you want to go to the infirmary to see?"
Chen Zhi was a little touched: "No need, I'll be fine soon… …"
"That's good." The professor breathed a sigh of relief and left the bathroom.
Chen Zhi also hurriedly got up, flushing the toilet and wasting a tank of water.
Afterwards, he adjusted his expression and walked out of the bathroom.
But as soon as he came out, seeing the professor waiting outside, the phone in his pocket vibrated again.
Taking it out, it was Xu Meng again—
[Now there really isn't a single one left.]
"? ? ! !"
Not even caring that the professor was in front of him.
Open the app!
Place order! Pay!
All in one go! !
Looking at [Order successful, in the process of queuing for shipment], Chen Zhi's whole face relaxed.
But when he looked up, he saw the professor with a suspicious look on his face.
He quickly restrained his smile, "Ah, I asked someone to deliver medicine to me."
The professor didn't expose him, just shook his head and left speechlessly.
… …
… …
The second batch of equipment launched was still 500,000 holographic devices and 1,000,000 holographic mediums.
It was still sold out.
It even lasted 20 seconds less than the first batch.
The players who grabbed it were overjoyed, and those who didn't complained that Xu Meng had launched a sudden attack again, catching them off guard.
But the players who didn't grab it weren't the most miserable.
The most miserable were the overseas players—
It wasn't until the second batch was sold out that the news of [Holographic Display Device Launched] finally slowly spread overseas.
—Along with the news of [Holographic Display Device Sold Out at Lightning Speed].
Looking at these two pieces of news, the faces of overseas players were filled with question marks, and more question marks.
After taking some time to accept this cruel reality, a group of players, using translators, began to write heartfelt essays to Dream Building.
Niiiko was also writing live in his live broadcast room—
[Dear Mr. Xu Meng, perhaps a noble person like you will forget many things.]
[But outside of Xia Country, there are many loyal players like me, looking at the holographic display device, seeing holes in our eyes.]
[We sincerely hope that you can treat domestic and foreign players without selfishness, wearing an iron mask.]
[We especially, especially need holographic devices!]
[Especially, especially need! ! !]
