After their exclamations subsided somewhat, Evan provided a brief tutorial before fixing his mocking gaze upon the slack-jawed Pony. "Since you're curious, Mr. Pony, why not give it a try? No harm in it for a fellow gaming colleague!"Pony's frame trembled slightly as he leveled an intense look at the sneering youth before mustering his resolve. Striding towards an unoccupied corner, he retrieved and donned the visor."Whoa!"Pony tumbled from his chair, sprawling upon the floor, motionless save for the murmured words escaping his lips. "Such otherworldly technology truly exists in this world? I've lost, suffered a resounding, utter defeat.""Hmph."Evan's derisive chuckle cut through the air. "Acknowledging your loss is quite an admirable feat, for against me as an adversary, no one has ever emerged victorious!""Don't linger too long on the visor's home screen; I haven't the time to indulge you all!"Perceiving the audience's awestruck reactions, Evan let out a lazy yawn. "Connect t
Only Pony, at this moment, was utterly bewildered, clutching the gaming glasses tightly in his hands, frozen in place, immobile.Regret welled up within him now. As a businessman, he knew the immense value of these glasses; just as the youth had said, they could transform human habits, a veritable milestone in the gaming realm. He yearned to collaborate, yet could not bring himself to set aside his pride. Moreover, he knew that even were he to humble himself, Tiktoc would grant him no opportunity.All he could do now was seethe with resentment - resent his own lack of capacity, the shortcomings of his team, resent Tiktoc's prowess."Well, since you've all experienced it, allow me to impart a few final matters," Evan said, surveying the gathered crowd with a light scoff. "First, on behalf of Tiktoc, I shall invest $2 billion in collaboration with Bluehole to recreate 'Survival Island' for the Elysia market!"A collective gasp arose as mouths fell agape. Never had they witnessed an Ely
With those words, Evan turned to depart, hands clasped behind his back. However, ere he could exit, a young female reporter, having regained her composure first, reached out to halt him.This reporter, a beauty of three-and-twenty years, wore a crisp brown professional skirt complemented by a clinging purple blouse that tantalized with the curves it hugged."Pardon me, sir, if I may impose upon you for but five minutes. I have two queries I wish to pose.""Very well, proceed," Evan replied, brow furrowing slightly. Why had this journalist not inquired earlier when invited, only to halt his departure now? Even one as aesthetically blessed as herself could not simply act with such entitled impunity.Had he not just offered them the opportunity to pose questions? Yet they had declined, only to impede his exit now. Did she not comprehend that time equated to money? Moreover, had he not directed them to address any outstanding concerns to Adam, the CEO? Why did this reporter exhibit such
" I had two lifelong regrets - missing One Piece's grand finale, and never witnessing the advent of gaming glasses. Yet today, yes, today I bear witness to their realization!""Are these glasses legitimate? With such abundant reportage, surely no deception? When might they release? I yearn to procure them forthwith!""..."Swiftly, the comments beneath each article surpassed ten thousand - not cumulatively, but individually, every single report garnering over ten thousand responses!This succession of stories, propelled by skyrocketing popularity, even became the era's paramount headline.In this age of digital diffusion, any information disseminates with uncanny swiftness. Thus, within mere hours, Elysia's online realm erupted into frothing upheaval.At half-past five that evening, every gaming streamer presently in Lumina City received Adam's gifted gaming glasses. Those elsewhere could only weep bitter tears, ruing their births beyond Lumina's bounds, lamenting their failure to bro
"But for now, let me test these visors, ensure they function identically to the previous ones, despite lacking a physical reference!"With that thought, Evan unhesitatingly donned the newly replicated visor, immersing himself in the "Survival Island" game under his ID Smith-Kg!By an uncanny twist of fate, he was once again matched with the renowned streamers 17shou and Jeong, both now equipped with gaming visors themselves and queued as a duo!While Evan remained oblivious to their presence, his livestream audience quickly identified Smith-Kg! For as they awaited the plane on the desolate island, only Evan sat cross-legged upon a boulder, eyes fathomless as the ocean, gazing serenely at all.A clamor instantly erupted from 17shou's viewers, some from Jeong's channel also aghast! Was this not the Smith-Kg who had single-handedly dominated a four-man squad with just a 98k the previous day? How were they matched again? Would he grace them with another masterclass in sniping, unleashing
"Did you hear his voice? Sounds quite youthful, likely around our age. Ah, the unfairness of life! To attain such heights in TikToc at this tender age, evoking both envy and resentment!""I'm curious though, even as an insider, how could he outperform 17shou? Yesterday's fluid mastery—did they perhaps modify the visor's data for internal personnel?"As these musings materialized into onscreen comments, the countdown commenced!"5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"The game officially began!This time, Evan remained reticent, neither leaping first nor uttering a word. He merely sat serenely in the plane's corner, eyes still closed, seeming asleep to the uninitiated!Yet as 17shou and Jeong made their descent, the scenario abruptly shifted. Evan's eyes flashed open, glinting with lucidity before he, too, took the plunge with a subtle smirk!Surging gusts buffeted his freefall, but faint smiles graced his lips amidst the howling winds!A spectacle duly noted by 17shou and Jeong, who exchanged knowing nods, r
His presence today stemmed from news of the gaming visor's unveiling—a curiosity to witness its potential first-hand.And witness it he did, encountering the visor-equipped 17shou and Jeong.Initially skeptical of their unnatural movements until prolonged observation confirmed the visor's influence, prompting his lethal greeting.A single shot that sent shockwaves through the streaming realm."Whoa, Shroud's on the Elysian servers today?""The undisputed 'Survival Island' king of Canada? They say his highlight reels sustain entire channels!""I know him, the sole madman who plays 'Survival Island' like CS:GO!"As buzzing comments proliferated—"Fwip!" Another whirring missile, another grim notification: "Shroud was killed by Smith-Kg with a crossbow!"A seemingly casual loose, yet that solitary bolt had felled the Canadian legend with horrifying finality.The blizzard of comments froze, silence once more blanketing the realm.None foresaw this outcome—the lauded, innumerable-titled ti
Concomitantly, another wave of threads concerning TikToc's gaming visor crested.For many renowned streamers had received Adam's visors, showcasing the cutting-edge technology to their enraptured audiences this very night!Though eclipsed by Smith-Kg's fame, these visor-centric discussions commanded immense attention from gaming enthusiasts worldwide."Any news on when these visors launch and their pricing?""Weren't you following the announcements? The news stated a month until market release, with an unbelievably low $300 price tag!""Sweet heavens, only $300 for such advanced tech? Wouldn't that mean massive losses for TikToc?""Hmph, you underestimate TikToc's backing. I hear they have an extremely wealthy, mysterious young CEO behind the scenes. $300 is mere pocket change.""..."Undoubtedly, Evan's press conference and streamer promotions had exceeded all promotional expectations!"Ring ring ring!"As Evan browsed the web on his phone, an incoming call illuminated the screen—Dai
