Conan: Developing business in Kexue World

Chapter 61

6 month 30 day.

Tokyo Metropolitan City Hall.

The Syndra company made the scene very big, and a red carpet was laid out on the scene, surrounded by a circle of reporters, with long guns and short cannons in their hands, flash lights flickering, and the sound of cameras clicking endlessly.

The host is introducing the situation of the venue to the people in front of the TV. "Here, in the Mihua City Hall, the motion-sensing virtual game developed by the Japanese game manufacturer and Syndra is about to hold a grand first press conference."

Today is Saturday and school is on holiday.

Kenta and Yuanzi came to the scene in the car of the Future Group. This time, the two represented the Future Game Company to attend the press conference.

The host introduced professionally from the side: "Now, the pioneer of virtual reality games, the producer of the first VR game in history, the president of Future Games Co., Ltd., Ms. Suzuki Sonoko, and the chairman of Future Group, Yoshida, are arriving at the venue. Mr. Kenta. Both of them are only 17 years old this year, and they are really a pair of golden boys and girls."

Kenta got out of the car first, and the gentleman walked out with his hand supporting Sonoko.Sonoko took Kenta's arm, and the two walked onto the red carpet, waving to the reporters.

Kenta whispered in Yuanzi's ear: "President Syndra is really ingenious, and he is really good at making topics. At our game press conference, why didn't I think of having a red carpet?"

"Hey, we are pioneers in virtual reality games anyway," said Sonoko.

The two walked quickly through the red carpet and entered the venue.

Kenta rubbed his eyes, "This flash light almost blinds people's eyes."

Yuanzi said cutely: "Sindra must have ordered this on purpose, in order to retaliate against us."

Kenta shrugged and continued to move forward, there were many rooms inside.After going through a long corridor, through the security check, and finally entered the venue.

This is the largest exhibition hall of Mihua City Hall. Important academic conferences are often held here, and occasionally it is open to large companies for press conferences.

The venue is a bit like a theater, distributed in steps, with many seats on each step.In the middle is a huge booth, now, 50 egg-shaped game pods are installed by Syndra.

There weren't many people at the meeting place, so Kenta and Sonoko found a place to sit down at random.

Take out a tablet and watch the live broadcast.

Sonoko saw an acquaintance on the tablet and introduced it to Kenta.

"This is the president of Mihua Bank. I met him at a reception at my house."

"Hey, the councilors from Tokyo are here too."

"The president of Hatake Trading."

Kenta looked at these heavyweights, "Politics, finance, business, President Syndra's ability to make trouble is really strong. He invited all these people here. No wonder there is a security check at the entrance. If something happens later , the neon economy and society will stagnate for a while.”

At this time, the host received the information and introduced the general situation of the game.

"According to the information sent to our media, this game called 'Cocoon' allows players to enter a cocoon-like capsule, and in a hypnotic state, they can talk with a game with a voice recognition system while playing in the game. It can be said that It is a game that integrates the latest technological essence. This game provides 5 scenes for players to play in. What kind of virtual world is it? Children will know after experiencing it today.”

"Today, the 50 children of junior high school and elementary school students selected to participate will become the first "cocoon" experiencers of neon."

Yuanzi suddenly said: "Oh, I saw Xiaolan, she's here, I'll go out to pick her up."

Kenta saw it, it was really true, in the picture, Xiaolan's unicorn flashed past, "Let's go together."

The two came to the security checkpoint of the venue.

Xiaolan is leading a group of children over, and Mouri Kogoro is also here.

This time, Mao Li was complaining, "Really, isn't it just a game conference, why are you making it so exaggerated."

Kenta agreed and said, "That's right, that's right, President Syndra really stirs up topics."

"It's Kenta, you're here too."

"Is it a hot topic, you will know later, President Yoshida." A sullen voice behind said.

"Oh, President Syndra. It's been a long time. I don't know how your game is going this time. Is it interesting?" Kenta turned around, a little embarrassed, and said bad things behind his back, and was caught on the spot.

"If you're interested, you'll only know if you've played it. How do you want it? Are you interested?" Syndra handed over a badge.

"President Syndra, you are too stingy. We have so many people here, and you only give one. Who can play with it?"

"Hmph, civilians don't expect to be the first to experience it." Syndra left a word, turned and left.

Mao Li said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of common people, this person is really rude."

"Let's go, let's go this way. By the way, why are you brats here?"

Kenta led the crowd and entered the venue from the other side. Yoshida Ayumi, Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko, and Kojima Motota also came.

Ayumi replied: "I heard that Xiao Ai is coming, so we asked Sister Sonoko to give us an invitation letter."

Kenta glanced at Sonoko with a smile on his face, it seemed to be the energy of the Suzuki consortium.

As everyone walked, Conan said, "I heard that before this press conference, there were already commercial spies operating secretly. Brother Kenta, hasn't your company encountered such a situation?"

Kenta raised a finger and shook it, winking at Conan, "Hey, of course there are. However, our company has a 'secret' supervision process, and they all returned without success, so they went to Syndra's company to make trouble .”

Mitsuhiko said: "That is, since the release of Sword Art Online, it has completely changed the ecosystem of the entire game industry."

Walking on the corridor, Yuan Tai noticed the big iron ball in the center of the venue through the glass of the corridor, "What are those?"

Mitsuhiko said: "That is 'cocoon'."

Yuan Tai said enviously: "I also want to play 'cocoon'."

Mitsuhiko said helplessly: "That's impossible. Although we were invited to the party, we were not selected as the 'cocoon' experiencers."

Hui Yuanai said: "However, I am a little interested in being able to experience historical events in the game."

Mitsuhiko said excitedly: "It feels like time travel."

The children discussed excitedly, and everyone came to the social banquet venue.

Although there are only 50 experience places this time, there are a lot of people who come, probably hundreds of people, and the venue is crowded with people.

The press conference is not just a game conference, but also a large-scale social gathering place, where acquaintances gather to chat and chat, and a large-scale deal is finalized in the midst of a feast.

A buffet was provided at the venue, and the waiter walked through it with a wine tray.

"There are a lot of people, and there are also a lot of wine." Mao Li seized the opportunity and grabbed two glasses at once, one glass of red wine and one glass of whiskey, and drank it all together.

Seeing Mao Li like this, Xiao Lan quickly persuaded: "Father, the top police officers are here today, so drink less."

"Got it." Saying that, Maori took another sip.

Xiaolan didn't listen after seeing it, and Xiaolan's face was black.

Yuan Tai came to the dining table, looked at the food on the table and drooled, "You can eat all of these, right?" As she said, she picked up two skewers of barbecue and stuffed them into her mouth.

"It's so delicious, I'll have some too." Looking at Yuantai's eating, Kenta became hungry unknowingly, and moved closer to Yuantai, and the two compared their eating speed.

Seeing Kenta like this, Sonoko held his forehead with a headache, "Why are you still like a child? Today we are here to spy on the enemy."

"Anxin, I don't like their games. Come and eat some." Kenta picked up a cake and stuffed it into Yuanzi's mouth.

"Hmm." Sonoko protested as his mouth was occupied by food.

Next to Xiaolan watched Sonoko and Kenta fight enviously, and thought to herself, Shinichi, where are you?
Yuantai stuffed the food into his mouth with both hands, and said, "I'm so lucky to be able to eat until I'm full."

Ayumi said sadly: "Those children are lucky."

"Huh?" Genta turned his head, and Ayumi was looking at the child who got the experience qualification.

They are happily gathering together, surrounded by adults in a circle, today they are the absolute protagonists.

It is clearly close at hand, but there seems to be a gap in front of everyone.

Mitsuhiko said: "Presumably they are the children who were selected to participate in the game in the legend."

Mori Kogoro glanced at the crowd, "The grandson of the deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Department, the grandson of the financial capitalist, the son of the ruling party politician, and the second and third generations who shoulder the neon future are all here."

"It's simply the epitome of the ugly hereditary system of neon." Xiao Ai stood aside and said coldly, "With this hereditary system, the wrong history of mankind will continue to repeat itself."

Everyone looked at Xiao Ai in surprise, and Ayumi stepped forward, "Ai-chan, what are you talking about, I don't understand."

Conan whispered in Xiao Ai's ear: "You, didn't I tell you to speak in a child's tone?"

"The son of a politician will become a politician, and the son of a banker will become a banker. If this continues, no matter how long it takes, the neon will not change." Hui Yuanai continued to finish the sentence with a cold voice, Suddenly the tone changed, and the voice of the energetic girl came out, and she said cutely: "Wait, I heard about this on the TV news last night."

Hey, that's terrible, Conan thought.

"Qiang Qiang~" Sonoko also took out a badge from his body.

Mitsuhiko yelled, "Ah, Sister Sonoko, you also have a game badge."

Xiaolan said, "Could it be that Yuanzi was also chosen?"

"After all, the Suzuki Foundation also invested in the development of the game. The butler just gave it to me. I can play with Kenta later, hehe." Sonoko said with a smile.

Mitsuhiko said enviously, "That's great."

Yuan Tai also said: "I want it too."

"Give up." Said a child next to him with a football in his hand, who looked like a young man from a rich family. "The position is different."

The attendant on the side also said mockingly: "Besides, are you really invited? Didn't you sneak in?"

Yuanzi couldn't stand it anymore, "It's too rude, these children are my guests."

"Isn't this the daughter of the Suzuki consortium?" The attendant child next to him bent down and motioned.Looks very educated.

The child who spoke at the beginning said: "Did you know that a person's life is already determined when he is born."

It's a pity that the words spoken are very unpleasant.

"Yes, yes, beautiful clothes will also choose the owner who wears them."

"Those who are not selected can just watch with their fingers in their mouths."

Although the reality is like this, don't say it to irritate others. It's too much hatred. Isn't it good to make a fortune in silence?

Yuan Tai narrowed her eyes and said, "These guys are really annoying."

Xiao Lan also looked angry, and said to Mao Li who was still drinking: "Dad! You can also teach them!"

Mao Li came back to his senses, straightened his collar, came to the group of teenagers, lowered his voice, and pretended to say: "Hey, listen, guys, don't take life so naively. It seems that things are going well. There will be traps in life. You will understand when you grow up."

"Is it like my wife ran away?" said the leading boy in red. He is the grandson of the deputy director of the Metropolitan Police Department, Morohoshi Hideki, and he has heard about Maori. "I know, Kogoro, who is sleeping, got his nickname because he let his wife escape while he was asleep."

The followers next to him all laughed.

Uncle Mao Li blushed and was about to strike, "You little brats."

Xiaolan said in a serious tone next to her: "It's not when I'm sleeping. Mom left the house when Dad went to the bathroom."

Then, he turned his head to confirm with Maori, "Right."

Maori Society died, and sighed with bowed head.

Kenta and Sonoko covered their mouths and laughed.

Zhuxing Hideki felt bored, so he said, "Let's go, let's go play football."

A group of little devils, regardless of the occasion, started to lift the ball in the venue.

Conan looked at all this and sighed from the side: "Thinking that these children will inherit the career of their parents and become the future leaders of Neon, the future is really hopeless."

"I feel the same way." Xiao Ai said.

The little ghosts kicked the ball at the venue, sometimes kicking it on the table, sometimes hitting people, and even kicking off the dagger in the hand of the statue on the edge of the venue, and everyone dared not speak out.

A hand suddenly caught the football flying in the air.

"Playing football here will disturb other guests, if you want to play, go outside."

Hideki Zhuxing asked: "Who are you? Uncle? Give me back the ball."

"I'm the developer of 'Cocoon', Kashimura." The person who came was Tadabin Kashimura, the person in charge of game development.

The attendant threatened: "Do you know that my grandfather's bank lent you money so that you can complete the game development?"

Kashimura Tadabin said without changing his tone: "Didn't your parents teach you what is public morality? Do you still have the attitude to talk to elders?"

Another follower said impatiently, "It's amazing."

"Against us, you will be fired tomorrow."

Kashimura Tadabin said: "Then before that, let me drive you out."

"Tch~ let's go." Zhu Xingxiu backed down and called his companions to leave.

Tadabin Kashimura tidied up his clothes and walked towards the backstage of the venue.

Seeing the scene where Kashimura Zhongbin was looking for someone, Sonoko said with emotion: "What a handsome uncle. He is completely different from someone." As he spoke, he glanced at Kogoro Mouri.

Molly blinked, and sighed again.

On the rostrum of the venue, the host spoke, which attracted the attention of the people present.

"Now, Mr. Yusaku Kudo, who provided the scene design ideas for 'Cocoon', has come from the United States, everyone is welcome."

Wow ~
There was warm applause on the field.
