136: My business empire will create a "second life"!

When Lu Chen's ultimate declaration, full of extreme Versailles and show-off vibes, “The small goal of being the world’s richest person is going to be achieved ahead of schedule,” clearly echoed in the Pangu Technology CEO’s office on the top floor, Wang Peng, who had just been stunned by the “holographic projection” technology and had his worldview shattered, completely

went crazy!

“Holy crap! Chen Zi! You are my god!”

He threw away the expensive Cuban cigar in his hand like a madman!

He lunged forward and rushed to Lu Chen's side!

Then, under Lu Chen's 'disgusted' gaze, he suddenly hugged his leg!

“Dad! No! Ancestor!”

He cried, snot and tears flowing:

“The most correct thing I, Wang Peng, have ever done in my life!”

“Was meeting you, a living God of Wealth, in that dilapidated rental house!”

“Get lost!”

Lu Chen laughed and cursed, then kicked the shameless fatty aside.

“Alright, stop embarrassing me here.”

“Let’s talk business.”

“Business?” Wang Peng was startled, then quickly scrambled to his feet, his honest, chubby face instantly replaced with a fawning smile full of 'sycophantic' charm.

“Hehe, Chairman, please speak!”

“I’m all ears!”

“…”

Lu Chen looked at his good brother, who seamlessly switched between 'bootlicker' and 'overbearing CEO', and felt a headache coming on.

He seriously doubted

whether it was the right decision to entrust this unprecedented business empire to this live wire.

“Ahem.”

He cleared his throat, and a profoundness and

domineering aura, unbefitting his age, flashed in his deep black eyes, vast like the universe.

“Peng Zi.”

“I ask you.”

“What do you think is the core competitiveness of our Pangu Technology in the future?”

“Does that even need to be said?!” Wang Peng blurted out without thinking, “Of course, it’s the endless black technologies in your mind!”

“Wrong.”

Lu Chen shook his head.

“Huh?” Wang Peng was stunned.

“Technology is just a tool.”

Lu Chen walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the prosperous yet tiny steel jungle outside.

A god-like light, which Wang Peng could not understand at all, flickered in his deep eyes.

“And what we truly want to do”

“Is to use these tools.”

“To create for all ordinary people in this world who are bound and oppressed by reality”

“A brand new”

“World!”

“A world without classes!”

“Without oppression!”

“Without birth, aging, sickness, and death!”

“Where everyone is equal!”

“Everyone is like a dragon’s”

“Utopia!”

Boom!!!

These words were like a black lightning bolt capable of splitting the entire history of human civilization!

It struck Wang Peng’s head fiercely!

He was completely petrified!

He stared blankly at Lu Chen’s slightly thin but at this moment incomparably towering back.

His mind was blank!

U-

Utopia?!

This

What kind of divine ambition is this?!

He was still complacent about some ridiculous commercial interests.

But Chen Zi was already thinking about how to transform the ultimate

philosophical problem of human society?!

This was no longer a difference in dimension!

This was clearly an insurmountable chasm

between mortals and gods!

“Chen… Chen Zi…”

Wang Peng’s small eyes were filled with subversive horror!

He looked at Lu Chen, his lips trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence!

“What… what exactly do you want to do?”

“It’s very simple.”

Lu Chen turned around, looking at Wang Peng’s completely terrified chubby face, and smiled faintly.

“I will use 'holographic projection' and 'neural interface' technologies.”

“In every city, every corner of the world.”

“To build virtual cities that are indistinguishable from reality!”

“Virtual cities!”

“Then.”

“We will completely open our long-prepared pangu virtual world to all ordinary people worldwide.”

“Open!”

“I want to create a brand new, more real and exciting than the real world”

“Second Life!”

“In this world.”

“They can freely become anyone they want to be!”

“They can be superheroes who save the world!”

“They can be starship captains traveling through the galaxy!”

“Even.”

A devilish smile, full of allure, curved at his lips!

“They can be supreme beings who wield the power of life and death over billions of lives.”

“Gods!”

“This…”

Wang Peng listened to Lu Chen's grand blueprint, which was full of 'chuunibyou' vibes yet made his blood boil!

His heart, which had long been corrupted by commerce!

At this moment, it actually began to beat wildly and uncontrollably!

He seemed to have already seen it!

An unprecedented, massive virtual commercial empire, built by their own hands as brothers!

Is rising steadily!

And he, Wang Peng!

Will become the first

CEO of this empire!

“Chen Zi!”

He clenched his fist suddenly!

For the first time, a ferocious smile, like that of a warlord, appeared on his honest, chubby face!

“Just you wait and see!”

“I, Wang Peng!”

“Will definitely make this 'Second Life' a resounding success!”

“Let everyone in the world willingly pay for our dream!”

“Pay!”

“Very good.”

Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction.

He knew.

His good brother had finally come to his senses.

From a 'country bumpkin' who only knew how to count money.

He had transformed into a true business magnate with a 'grand vision'.

Business magnate!

And, next.

They, this unbeatable combination—one controlling future technology, the other wielding global wealth—

Combination!

Will completely subvert this old, corrupt, and boring

World!

“By the way, Chen Zi.”

Wang Peng suddenly asked, as if he had remembered something:

“What’s the name of our unprecedented ‘Second Life’ project?”

“As for the name…”

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly uttered a name that would drive Wang Peng and all future players who became immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves, crazy.

“Let’s call it”

“oasis.”
