Xu Meng didn't answer.
He just came out to say hello, proving that Xiao Meng was a "staff member" of Dream Weaver.
Xiao Meng's head appeared in front of the camera, blocking Xu Meng.
"Why apologize?" Her little eyebrows furrowed: "Are you lying?"
"I didn't expect you to take it seriously... and it's not a complete lie! Look, my roommate is indeed lying in the hospital!" Guo Zirui quickly explained.
"And he really can't wear VR glasses for a long time."
He turned the camera to his roommate on the hospital bed, whose head was indeed wrapped in layers of gauze.
Xiao Meng realized she had been tricked and was a little unhappy.
But seeing the patient, she felt a little soft-hearted.
For a moment, she didn't know what to do and looked at Xu Meng pitifully.
Xu Meng shook his head helplessly and took over: "You should first tell your roommate the whole story."
"Oh, okay."
Guo Zirui wasn't embarrassed at all and quickly explained the cause and effect.
"You son of a bitch!!" The roommate, still wrapped in bandages, grabbed an apple from his side and was about to throw it.
But before letting go, he felt it would be a waste to throw it and put it back.
He just said fiercely: "You wait until I get discharged!"
After uttering those harsh words, he quickly looked at the camera and said quickly: "Boss Xu, my problem isn't big, I can be discharged after a few months."
"But if you have time, I sincerely hope you can help the people in the next ward."
"It's quite upsetting to hear."
"I think taking them to the Moresheng Metropolis Aquarium might cheer them up."
"Why don't you help them out?"
Before this guy finished speaking, Xiao Meng was already blinking her eyes, staring at Xu Meng pitifully.
"Alright, tell me the city and hospital location, and I'll arrange it."
…
After hanging up the video call, Xu Meng touched Xiao Meng's head: "Now you know, right?"
"You can't trust the information online too much."
"Mmm, I know." Xiao Meng nodded obediently, "Then should Xiao Meng go find Sister Chen?"
"Forget it, the Spring Festival holiday is coming soon, so don't let her run around. Coincidentally, the hospital is in Huacheng, I'll call Zhang Yang and let him handle it."
"After he's dealt with the equipment, we can go find them to play."
"Okay!" Xiao Meng was already looking forward to it, "We'll give that liar a big surprise then!"
During the New Year holiday, the employees will all be on vacation and going home.
Xu Meng and Xiao Meng didn't have any hometown to return to, so wandering around would be good.
He took out his phone and called Zhang Yang.
—
"Hey? Young Master Zhang, what are you doing?"
"Feeding the birds."
"Feeding the birds??" Xu Meng was stunned when he heard this, "No, the whole internet is urging Dream Weaver to release the holographic equipment as soon as possible, and you're in the mood to feed the birds? Go tighten some screws!"
"Tighten my ass, anyway, it's you who's being urged, not me."
"Feeding the birds is more interesting."
Zhang Yang asked while saying this, "Speaking of which, who came up with this genius idea? Others feed pigeons in the square, but you guys directly let people feed flamingos in the square."
"This is too wild."
"???" Xu Meng immediately realized when he heard this—
This guy was actually feeding flamingos in the central square of Moresheng Metropolis.
"You wait for me!"
He looked at Xiao Meng: "Xiao Meng, take me there."
Xiao Meng took Xu Meng's hand.
The office scene quickly faded, replaced by bluestone slabs.
A bustling crowd shuttled back and forth, with flocks of fiery red flamingos standing leisurely.
In the middle of the flamingos, Zhang Yang stood there leisurely, scattering brine shrimp towards the flock.
The flamingos, who usually completely ignored people, were now stretching their necks, vying for the brine shrimp he scattered.
Several passersby stood far away, watching him feed the birds.
As an early founder of Dream Weaver and Xu Meng's good brother, Zhang Yang naturally had some special treatment—
He had long been using holographic equipment.
High-precision real-person character modeling was also standard.
Behind him, there was also a beautiful virtual assistant designed by the Frost Snow Project art team for this former boss.
Seeing Xu Meng appear, Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment.
"Wait, how did you suddenly pop up? I'm live streaming here."
"?" Another question mark appeared on Xu Meng's head.
"Young Master Zhang, you're not tightening screws in the factory, nor are you researching how to inherit the family business, but you're running online to be a streamer??"
"It's a hobby, don't you understand?" Young Master Zhang complained.
Since riding the east wind of Dream Weaver, connecting with the military, and having a stable tactile synchronization suit production line and orders, Zhang Yang became famous in the Yuanyang Group.
As Dream Weaver's reputation grew and hardware sales increased, even those who were privately dissatisfied with him became fewer and fewer.
Until two months ago, Dream Weaver built its own super factory, but only made holographic mediums.
It still handed over the main production of holographic equipment to Zhang Yang.
Now his position as successor was completely stable.
—But even if it was stable, his father was still in his prime and couldn't possibly retire at this time to make room for him.
Plus, the departmental rotations had already ended, and he had become completely idle.
Now the main task his parents gave him had shifted from "proving himself" to "finding a wife."
But Zhang Yang didn't want to get married early.
So, out of sheer boredom, he thought of games again.
He didn't want to make games—besides copying the krypton gold games on the market, he couldn't do anything else.
With a change of thought, he became a streamer.
The newest novels are first published at Six/9 Books/Bar!
However, he never told Xu Meng, and he never mentioned Dream Weaver and Xu Meng during the live stream.
Even the content of the live stream didn't have a definite theme, he just wandered around in Moresheng Metropolis every day—
Going to the Sky Arena to watch people fight, gambling a few rounds.
Going to the [Pacemaker Club] club, watching the intelligent mechanical dancer Alicia do a striptease.
By the way, watching the old brother who dedicated the [Mind Cube], sitting under the stage wearing a green hat, watching Alicia on the stage with complicated feelings.
Going to the haunted house newly opened by Lingzhou Studio to experience a journey of thrills.
Going to take a yacht and go fishing at sea.
Going to the aquarium to admire the sirens and mermaids singing.
Going to the massage parlor to experience the tactile synchronization suit's meticulous full-body massage.
Going to the security bureau to take bounties, carrying a police baton to catch hooligans on the street.
…
And the most favorite—coming to the central square, buying a bag of brine shrimp to feed the flamingos.
This alternative "slow live stream" didn't have a good effect on attracting fans, and after a month of tossing around, he only had more than 200 fans, and the live stream room only had a few dozen fixed viewers for a long time.
Of course, Zhang Yang didn't care.
But today, this kind of thing will never happen again—
Xu Meng appeared with Xiao Meng, and the dozens of water friends in the live stream were immediately stunned.
Who would have thought that while chatting with a small streamer with only 200 fans, Xu Meng would suddenly jump out!
And he was talking and laughing with this unknown small streamer, looking very familiar?
Xu Meng's face is now known to everyone, not to mention that Xiao Meng also came—to some extent, Xiao Meng is Xu Meng's "anti-counterfeiting mark"!
The live stream room immediately started to frantically let people in!
Everyone was looking for him everywhere!
Watching the live stream room break through 10,000 in just a moment, and then rush to 20,000, 50,000, 80,000…
Zhang Yang was also a little stunned.
"Why don't you avoid it first?"
"Are you afraid of too many fans causing trouble?" Xu Meng asked.
"Just kidding, as a streamer, would I dislike having more viewers?"
"Then let's chat." Xu Meng sat down on a long bench, starting to chat in the live stream without any care.
—Now he does things, as long as it doesn't affect his own people, he just does whatever he wants.
Beside him, Xiao Meng also held up a flamingo baby, holding it above her head.
The flamingo baby cried out in surprise.
The surrounding flamingos all came over, gently pecking Xiao Meng's head.
Zhang Yang shook his head and sat down: "The holographic equipment has just been released, you should be very busy, why are you looking for me at this time?"
"It sells out in a few minutes, what's there to be busy about."
As soon as Xu Meng opened his mouth, the audience in the live stream couldn't hold back:
"You're still gloating??"
"Reflect quickly!!"
"No, I can't stand it anymore, I'm going to give him a headbutt now!"
…
In just a few minutes, more than 100,000 people poured into the live stream room, and the barrage changed from sparse to surging like a tide.
Players in the central square also quickly gathered!
It looked like they were about to surround the square.
Seeing that the players' reaction was so big, Xu Meng thought about it and decided to reveal some news in advance to appease the players and divert everyone's attention:
"Everyone, don't worry."
"The holographic equipment is being made overtime, and we will try to release another batch before the Spring Festival."
"Before that, everyone can pay attention to our New Year activities."
"We have prepared many interesting New Year activities for everyone."
"After 0:00 tonight, they will be launched one by one!"
"Here, I can reveal the intelligence of one of the activities in advance—"
"The Moresheng Metropolis [Fight Club] will hold a [Deathmatch Arena] event!"
"You must set the sensitivity of the tactile synchronization suit to the highest level to be eligible to participate in this event!"
"This competition does not require skill, only [luck] and [endurance]."
"Players who are confident in their [luck] and [endurance] can participate!"
"The 100 players with the most wins will receive double prizes in reality and in the game!"
"There are many similar activities, but everyone needs to explore them by themselves!"
