Leveling Technology To Save Humanity-Chapter 64: FOOLS

They say when sugar is spread, the ants come desperately crawling in to get a taste. The same analogy held true ever since GF WorldTech exploded its unique and far-sighted VR technology to the world.

People scrambled for these VR patches and watches, not just to have them for fun and games, but to also dissect them and understand how in the HELL did a brat like Gort Fairbang did it.

—And now, several notable personnel managed to crawl their way to Geldhan village for one important meeting.

’There are a lot more than I expected.’ Gort chuckled meaningfully.

CEOs and representatives from Capotom and Raco, the 2 prominent Gaming companies in Gwintia, now sat before Gort.

In addition to these 2 companies, there was a smaller company, SteinGate, a starter company that wasn’t even up to 4 years old. Their CEO and founder was an 18-year-old boy who created and released the popular game, Dungeons and Gargoyles.

It was an instant sensation across the entire world, with many calling it a masterpiece, among the top 10 greatest games of all time.

Stein Sechen—that was the CEOs name. A young dashing man with golden glasses. His hair was longer in the front and top, cascading down the corners of his face. However, his sides and the back of his hair were shaved extremely low.

Like a moving picture of elegance, many couldn’t help giving this youngster second looks. There, all 3 companies sat before Gort.

There was a risk that what they’re doing might end up with a huge loss after the 3 top countries come after Gort. But they still damned the consequences, decided to first make small budget games for testing.

The money they planned to put towards this project, was an amount that even if they lost, their companies would still remain afloat and slightly unbothered.

Gort didn’t mind their thoughts. If it were him, he might also do the same.

What truly mattered, was that they made the first move of meeting with him when many others were too chicken-livered to do so.

Of course, while the top 2 companies were limiting their budgets, Stein, CEO of SteinGate, was ready to go all in. The other 2 major companies sneered, finding that he was too young and naive.

Doesn’t he know the risk involved since the op 3 countries were now eyeing Gort? Who is to say that whatever they do here will last?

"Mr. Gort, we at Capotom, are willing to put in 18,000 Gwins towards our first VR game with GF WorldTech."

"Mr. Gort, we at Raco, are willing to put 20,000 Gwins."

’Fools...’ Gort raised his brow thoughtfully. No doubt, it should be a very simple game that will still be enjoyable, but might still get fairly stagnant after a while. Such games wont have many levels to accomplish, especially with such a budget.

With such budgets, one can only create low-tier simple games that don’t have too many complexities about them.

However, although simple, Gort knew every aspect must be done to perfection. Even if it was a simple game idea, he had to make it extremely attractive, putting his own touch to it since this was in essence, a collaboration between both companies.

—And since these 2 companies were 70% of all profits moving forth. These 2 companies didn’t care much, calculating that they would have made their initial investments back by the time the big 3 take action.

Despite there being a chance that Gort might come out on top, they didn’t believe it much.

"And what about you, Mr. Stein?" Gort asked, staring at the only one who hasn’t said anything yet.

It would be a lie to say that he didn’t have a good feeling about this Stein guy. Before the meeting was held, Gort had investigated founders and CEOs of all 3 companies present today.

He had to admit that Stein’s many moves during his short time from his company’s birth, was superb to say the least. It was as though Stein was playing Chess with his many opponents, gaming companies just like his.

In fact, Steins has held down the fort quite nicely against major companies like Raco and Capotom who tried squashing him like a bug when his company was first created. Gort admired such people like Stein.

"So, Mr. Stein..." Gort continued with a deep grin. "What are you prepared to offer?"

"20 Million for my first project," Stein slowly pushed his golden rimmed glasses into his face, staring at Gort deeply... "And if successful, 30 million for the next."

Hiss~

The other 2 CEOs and their representatives, all swallowed hard, feeling that Stein was a fool!

Those standing behind their CEOs, whispered their thoughts.

"Every businessman in this world knows that the big 3 are like Tyrants who always, eventually get their way in whatever they desire."

"Exactly! Since they have said to the world that they want Mr. Gort, this means that any contract done now is most likely temporary. Afterall, when the big 3 finally make their move, who is to say the contract we’re making now will still be in effect?"

Many of them spoke of Stein’s foolishness, but the protagonist in question only stared at Gort, his lips raising higher by the second.

Stein’s secretary stood behind him, handing Katrina a document. Well, Katrina was Gort’s primary secretary. "Mr. Gort, we at SteinGate, believe in your technology and its influence." What’s more, they believed in their boss, Stein.

Stein’s eyes gleamed deeply.

He, Stein, has always trusted his vision. And after seeing Gort in the VR launch live in the flesh, he understood that this was a stone that even the big 3 will find hard to crack.

In a game of chess, strategy is essential.

As of now, it’s hard to say who will eventually come out on top of this war against the big 3. However, something was true.... The battle might be a long one, meaning more time for them at SteinGate, to capitalize on profits.

So why not go all in?
