101: Complete the task of becoming the richest man in the country and be rewarded with virtual projection ability

At the same time, Lu Xingye's heart also gradually grew fervent.

One hundred thousand robot companions, each priced at 990,000.

One hundred thousand times 990,000.

That's nearly ten billion in sales!

(Actually, it's a little less than ten billion, but for the sake of good-looking data, the author rounded it up... so it's ten billion, ha.)

Moreover... this ten billion is all from pre-sales; Suihuo Technology hasn't spent a single dragon coin yet.

In other words, Suihuo Technology hasn't even started incurring costs, but has already pulled off a hundred billion in cash through empty-handed schemes.

This... this empty-handed scheme was played so beautifully...

Lu Xingye calculated.

Suihuo Technology's liquid funds, plus this hundred billion, brought the total on the books to 236.9 billion dragon coins, just one step away from being the world's richest man.

Oh my!

Boss Ma, the world's richest man, has total assets of 240 billion dragon coins.

He was still 3.1 billion dragon coins short of becoming the world's richest man.

(When you have money, you should dress up nicely, that's how you can attract girls, haha, look below.)

Why was he still a little short?

Lu Xingye frowned, hesitated for a moment, and immediately decided to add a portion of robot companion pre-orders to first unseat the world's richest man.

As long as he received the system reward, his other plans could be accelerated.

"Dawei."

"Increase the pre-order quantity for robot companions by another hundred thousand."

This...

Zhao Dawei heard this and hesitated.

"Chairman Lu."

"The production schedule for the hundred thousand robot companions currently on pre-order is already booked until the end of next year."

"If we add another hundred thousand, I'm afraid we won't be able to produce them all! Even if we could, it would probably take two or three years before we could supply them."

"This time span is a bit long."

"I don't recommend increasing the pre-order quantity."

Lu Xingye fell into contemplation upon hearing this.

A three-year delivery period?

That means users who pre-order a robot companion now would only receive it three years later?

The time span was indeed too long.

Lu Xingye hesitated for a second, then made up his mind.

The most important thing right now was to become the world's richest man.

As for the long production cycle, he would find a way to solve it.

"Dawei."

"I understand what you're saying, but I have my own considerations."

"Go ahead and arrange to list another hundred thousand robot companions."

"Then... then alright!" Zhao Dawei nodded helplessly.

"However,"

"You also need to find a way to solve the problem of the long production cycle! I believe you can handle this."

"Suihuo Technology isn't afraid to spend money; we must shorten the production cycle," Lu Xingye's tone shifted as he continued.

Zhao Dawei nodded slightly at his boss.

His boss was right.

The problem of a long production cycle could be solved.

For example: acquiring other factories.

For example: increasing production lines.

However, behind shortening the production cycle was money!

Even though Suihuo Technology was now somewhat wealthy, he still felt a pang of heartache; even with money, it shouldn't be spent like this.

Zhao Dawei couldn't quite understand Lu Xingye's thinking.

Perhaps this was the so-called difference in perspective!

...The situation was exactly the same as before.

As soon as the hundred thousand pre-ordered robot companions were listed on the official website, they were snatched up by waiting users.

This left Xiao Mo feeling a bit awkward!

She was a technical streamer.

Specializing in live-streaming sales.

What? I just started streaming, and haven't even begun selling, and you've already bought all my goods?

What kind of situation is this?

Strange things happen every year, but this year there are especially many...

Suihuo Technology received another hundred billion dragon coins.

Now, Suihuo Technology's total on the books reached 246.9 billion dragon coins, already surpassing Boss Ma's total assets.

"Finally, I'm the world's richest man, it wasn't easy!"

Lu Xingye sighed inwardly and then left.

Having completed the world's richest man mission, he was eager and impatient; he had to rush back immediately to research his ability to traverse the dimensional barrier.

About half an hour later.

His bodyguard, Long Yubing, drove Lu Xingye back to the sea-view villa.

It was the familiar routine; as soon as Lu Xingye returned to the sea-view villa, he locked himself in his room.

This drew a sidelong glance from Long Yubing.

"Lu Xingye, do you have an STD or something?"

"Why aren't you interested in beautiful women?"

"You just have to go back to your room and feed your five fingers."

"And..."

"As soon as you get home, you go straight to your room. Are you that impatient?" Long Yubing murmured, watching Lu Xingye's retreating back. Then, she took out a mirror and looked at her peerless reflection.

For the first time, she doubted her own charm.

On the other side.

Lu Xingye returned to his room, sat on the Simmons bed, and the first thing he did was open the system panel to see if his reward had arrived.

Lu Xingye took off his jacket, hung it on the hanger, and then began to study his ability—the miraculous right hand.

Name: Lu Xingye

Occupation: Behind-the-scenes controller of Suihuo Technology

Affiliated company: Suihuo Technology

Mission: Become the world's richest man. (Increase personal influence, products produced by the company are recognized by 90% of the world's population.)

Reward: 10 traversals of the dimensional barrier.

Phase One Mission: Richest Man in the Imperial Capital, completed.

Phase Two Mission: world's richest man, completed...

Currently, Phase Two Mission: world's richest man has been completed, reward for traversing the dimensional barrier: 3 times.

Remaining traversals of the dimensional barrier: 3...

[Phase Three Mission: Become the world's richest man.]

[Reward for becoming the world's richest man: 5 traversals of the dimensional barrier.]

...Given that the host has continuously completed two phases of missions in a short period, showing exceptional performance.

The system specially rewards: Virtual Projection ability.

Virtual Projection ability.

Simply put, the host can project his body into a movie world and interact more deeply with movie characters.

In order to manipulate the plot.

And retrieve specially customized items from the movie world.

In fact, Virtual Projection and the ability to traverse the dimensional barrier are complementary and also have a very significant effect on Lu Xingye.

For example:

Last time, in the "limitless" world, Lu Xingye only retrieved the finished Smart Drug NZT-48, but did not get the NZT-48 formula; this was due to the lack of Virtual Projection.

If he had the Virtual Projection ability at that time.

Lu Xingye could have projected his body over and interacted with the protagonist of limitless. Through interaction, he could have obtained the help of the limitless protagonist...

Then, it would have been very possible to obtain the NZT-48 formula.

One must know... the NZT-48 formula is tens of millions of times more valuable than the finished NZT-48 product.

The finished NZT-48 product is just a one-time consumable.

Once taken, it's gone.

The NZT-48 formula, however, is a machine that can mass-produce Smart Drugs!

If Lu Xingye obtained the NZT-48 formula, then he could produce as many Smart Drugs as he wanted.

It is clear that Virtual Projection also has a huge effect.

Moreover... Lu Xingye felt that the effect of the system's rewarded Circular Projection ability might not be limited to this.

The greatest use of Virtual Projection is interacting with movie characters.

If he interacts with movie characters.

Then it involves the favorability of the movie characters.

Does this mean he can increase the favorability of movie characters?

For example: increasing the favorability of the female lead.

If he maxed out the favorability of a certain female lead, wouldn't that mean he could make the movie female lead willingly follow him to the real world?
