Chapter 196 - 179: Dominate the Mobile Game Market?

Chapter 196: Chapter 179: Dominate the Mobile Game Market?

Lu Feng didn’t say anything more after hearing Wang Kai out. As long as the man knew what he was doing, that was all that mattered.

Besides, a thought occurred to him. Teacher Youcai wasn’t the only star in those instructional videos. There were countless others, and he figured he could cash in on them all.

Even the actresses who were now older were part of many an old man’s memories, relics of their bygone youth.

There would surely be old men willing to pay for that. It might even spark a second youth for them.

’Still,’ he thought, ’I’m sure Wang Kai is aware of this. He wouldn’t have overlooked it.’

After that, he left Qingfeng Full Network Company and returned to his Seaside Villa.

Back in his room at the villa, he locked the door behind him. With a single thought, he entered the game.

Upon arriving at Qingfeng Base, he went outside to have a look. While he didn’t micromanage the base’s development, he still needed to stay aware of its general condition.

Qingfeng Base had changed a great deal since his last visit.

The walls had been reinforced again, and dedicated firing platforms were now clearly visible on the various buildings, with grenade launchers mounted on them.

These were fixed emplacements.

If enemies were to attack, these grenade launchers could unleash a blanket bombardment, annihilating the invaders before they even got close to the gate.

Moreover, firing down from a high position would make these weapons even more accurate.

Inside the estate, on a specially constructed plaza, rows of elite soldiers were training.

The men sent by the Li Family had already returned, leaving only Zheng Lin behind to "supervise." Of course, while his official duty was to monitor Qingfeng Base, he was actually helping them conceal things from the Li Family.

As a result, these elite soldiers were now armed with the weapons Lu Feng had brought in from the outside world.

These were the same elite soldiers who were to be sent to the East Suburb to eliminate the bandits.

They just couldn’t set out yet. After all, the Li Family first had to obtain an official directive from the City East Alliance. Only with that document could the troops be deployed.

The East Suburb was under the jurisdiction of the City East Alliance; the Li Family had only been granted the right to garrison and defend the area. It didn’t mean the territory belonged to them.

Without the City East Alliance’s official directive, the Li Family couldn’t just send troops to garrison the area as they pleased.

Therefore, the Li Family first had to get them officially registered with the City East Alliance. That way, they could be sent to the East Suburb with proper justification.

Sound familiar?

In the human world—be it ancient, modern, or post-apocalyptic—that kind of red tape will never go out of style. It will always exist.

’This gives me an idea,’ Lu Feng thought. ’Once we’re officially registered with the City East Alliance, won’t that open up a lot of possibilities?’

’It would make certain things more convenient, wouldn’t it?’

’When the berserk zombie tide controlled by the Hexagonal Beast erupts and the City East Alliance falls, could I use this situation to absorb its survivors?’

’The City East Alliance has over a million survivors in its outer regions alone. If I could take in even a fraction of them, my base could become one of the major powers of the new era.’

Lost in thought, Lu Feng headed back into the air-raid shelter and made his way to the area designated for the technology research department.

The technology research department wasn’t large, but it was one of the departments Lu Feng valued most.

This was because the department could help him replicate technology from the game world and bring it into reality.

From the electromagnetic rice cooker technology restored by Cheng Yaoyao’s team to the smart assistant software coded by Cheng Sisi’s team, they had all brought him immense profits in the real world.

Qingfeng Electronics Company and Qingfeng Network Company had now become quite famous.

When they saw Lu Feng enter, everyone inside quickly stood up, showing their respect for the man in charge of the base.

Cheng Yaoyao led her team forward and handed two files to Lu Feng. "Boss, our electronics team has restored the technology for two more appliances. Take a look!"

Lu Feng accepted the two technical files and, using his game’s inspection ability, read the descriptions of the two appliances:

[Technical data for a refrigerator. Can be used to produce a special refrigerator with the following attributes: Freshness +2, Antibacterial +2, Moisture Retention +2!]

Lu Feng read the description. Based on his experience with the electromagnetic rice cooker, he knew these attributes were absolutely incredible.

The electromagnetic rice cooker only had +1 attributes, and it was already that amazing.

This refrigerator, on the other hand, had all +2 attributes. Its freshness, antibacterial, and moisture-retention effects must be unbelievably powerful. Wouldn’t anyone with even the slightest standards for quality of life want to buy one?

[Technical data for an air conditioner. Can be used to produce a special air conditioner with the following attributes: Air Purification +1, Dehumidification +1, Heating +1, Temperature Control +1!]

Clearly, this air conditioner technology also came with +1 attributes, making it undoubtedly more effective than any ordinary AC unit.

With the addition of these two appliances, Qingfeng Electronics Company’s product line would be even richer. As the company’s reputation grew, the speed at which it raked in cash would only increase.

Appliances are an indispensable part of daily life. Although people don’t replace them frequently—creating a natural lull in the market for any given product—things would be different if the company’s product catalog was large enough.

"Excellent work," Lu Feng said, not stingy with his praise for Cheng Yaoyao and her team.

He then walked over to another section.

Cheng Sisi and a group of networking experts were busy coding. He had previously tasked her with developing the next version of the smart assistant software, and had also instructed her team to recreate some of the smart systems from decades ago that were applicable to various aspects of daily life.

"Boss!" Cheng Sisi respectfully stood up to greet Lu Feng when she saw him.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

"..."

The others did the same.

They were filled with respect for Lu Feng. They were truly satisfied with their current lives, where they could use the skills they had learned before the apocalypse to survive and earn their food.

Although they didn’t understand why their boss needed them to do this work, they knew for a fact that such a good opportunity didn’t exist in any other base.

Lu Feng nodded to the group and asked, "What are you all working on right now?"

Cheng Sisi immediately replied, "Boss, you instructed us to code more smart systems from decades ago that could be used to make life more convenient. We’ve been looking through some old files and are currently developing an automotive smart-assist system from that era."

"Hmm." Lu Feng nodded. ’This has potential,’ he thought.

After all, cars had become a necessity for almost every household. An automotive smart system would definitely have a huge market.

Then he added, "Sisi, I need you all to pause what you’re doing. I have a new task for you. Do you still have those cell phones I gave you before? I need you to help me create a mobile game that can be played on them."

Hearing this, Cheng Sisi took out a storage sphere and handed it to Lu Feng. "Boss, we already figured you might need a mobile game developed. So, we gathered all the hit games from the past 100 years, from old-school mobile phones to holographic virtual phones. You can take a look and see which one you need, and we’ll code it for you."

Lu Feng was pleasantly surprised. ’Sisi is always one step ahead,’ he thought. ’This is great.’

He took the storage sphere, linked it to a holographic virtual display, and viewed the data inside.

The names of countless games immediately popped up.

What’s more, each game had a rating next to it, representing its overall evaluation.

To Lu Feng’s surprise, the list started with two very familiar game titles:

Honor of Kings!

Peacekeeper Elite!

It was actually these two games. He never would have thought that 100 years in the game’s future, these two mobile games would still be documented as the hit games of his current era.

It seemed these two games had left an indelible mark on the history of the internet and mobile gaming.

Lu Feng’s gaze then fell upon the dense rows of game titles below them, and for a moment, he had no idea which one to choose.

’What if I were to release all these games? What would be left for companies like Penguin or the other tech giants?’

He could just dominate the mobile game market, plain and simple.
