Simultaneous travel: invincible from the beginning of the anime!

Chapter 335: I'm so lucky to have a brother who dotes on me

Seeing Sonoko's mouth twitching, and Ran and others with surprised faces, Conan realized belatedly that his old problem had come back. He was too complacent and forgot that he was only a seven-year-old elementary school student.

"Conan knows a lot..."

"Uh... I just went online to look for relevant information because of what happened at the last "Cocoon" press conference, hahahahaha."

Sonoko was quite unhappy with Conan, who was trying to get away with it by being cute and smiling. God knows how much time she had spent in the past few days to understand the meaning of the technical term "full stealth" with her limited knowledge.

She hadn't even started showing off in front of Xiaolan and the others when she was interrupted by the cocky little brat in front of her.

"Although I don't quite understand what a full-dive virtual game is, but from what you said, Sonoko, Seiya wants to create a virtual world with the second world as the goal, this shouldn't be an easy task..."

"It's not just difficult, the programs and data required to build a virtual world are extremely huge.

For example, the "Old London" we experienced at the "Cocoon" press conference, the size of its virtual scene is only a small area of ​​London, and the number of players it can accommodate is extremely limited, and even the plot is fixed.

If you really want the virtual world to become the so-called second world, then it means that the virtual world you build needs to be able to carry the amount of information that multiple people can access online at the same time.

In a multiplayer online game, if the game scene is too small and the plot is fixed, players will quickly get bored.

The price of virtual reality gaming equipment is also a major issue. If it's something like "Cocoon," the average family probably can't afford it, let alone use it as a second world..."

The little kids were already very excited when they heard that the Suzuki Group was planning to create a virtual game that would be even more interesting than "Cocoon".

What Conan said at this moment was like a bucket of cold water poured directly on their heads.

The little kids were able to experience the "cocoon" before by exchanging precious cards with other rich second-generations for experience badges.

And it was obvious that no matter how much they exchanged the rare game cards they had, they could not afford expensive gaming equipment like "Cocoon", right?
"Little brat, you're quite understanding. The questions you raised before were also what Seiya was worried about and thinking about before.

But you forgot one thing, that is, my younger brother Seiya is a true genius!

Whether it's a completely open and boundless virtual world, servers that support multiple people online simultaneously, or even expensive gaming equipment, these problems are being overcome by Seiya and "Noah's Ark."

After hearing what Yuanzi said, the little kids who had been looking disappointed suddenly asked excitedly, "Sister Yuanzi, is everything you said true?"

Seeing that she had another chance to show off, Sonoko said proudly, "Of course it's true, because in the past few days, I, Suzuki Sonoko, as one of the first group of people to experience the game, have experienced it firsthand.

The vast virtual world, whether it is mountains, forests, or oceans, is no different from what we see in the real world.

Whether it's the wind blowing in your face, the smell of the earth, or the blows you receive when fighting monsters, everything is so real.

Frankly speaking, let alone kids your age, even a high school student like me, who has no real interest in gaming, can have a blast playing it. And I've even heard Seiya talk to my mom about making stealth game equipment as lightweight and affordable as possible.

According to Seiya, his bottom line price is about 100,000 yen, and it might even be cheaper later on. Even if it doesn't make money, it must be affordable for most people."

Hearing what Sonoko said, Ran beside her was also surprised and said: "If Seiya does this, won't Aunt Tomoko object?"

In Xiaolan's understanding, no matter what company it is, the purpose of developing and researching new products is to make profits.

And no matter how much Suzuki Tomoko dotes on Seiya, as a businesswoman, she certainly wouldn't allow Seiya to do such a thing, right?
Even if the Suzuki Group is wealthy and powerful, the entire country... oh no, the entire world has such a large population that even if a device only loses money in labor costs, it can wipe out the Suzuki Group's fortune, right?
"You are wrong, Sister Xiaolan. If what Sister Sonoko said is true, then the Suzuki Group will not suffer any losses, and will even make a big progress."

"That's right, Xiaolan, you're looking at the issue too one-sidedly. Imagine if everyone in the country... or even the entire world, were playing this second-world game developed by our Suzuki Group.

So, will our Suzuki Group still care about the tiny profits from selling devices?
When gamers develop a stronger sense of belonging to the virtual world, and even when the virtual world reaches an irreplaceable position in society, the Suzuki Group, which controls the game, will have a very important position and subsequent profits, even internationally.

As for the so-called profits, as long as they launch some derivative products in the game, the Suzuki Group can make a lot of money from it."

"Sonoko, are you sure it's okay to tell us all this? This should be a business plan within the Suzuki Group or something..."

Xiaolan looked at her best friend who was talking so casually in front of her, and her expression was a little speechless. She didn't understand before, but now she understood and realized that what her best friend was saying should be a commercial secret.

"It's okay, we're best friends, and the game will probably be available for testing soon.

Those guys who have a little business sense, mainly those who have experienced games, can probably figure out most of it.

You all happen to be here today, so would you like me, Miss Yuanzi, to take you to experience what a truly complete virtual reality game is like?"

Because of Sonoko's description just now, several people were already very curious about the so-called virtual game world that was comparable to the second world. Even Conan and Ai were no exception. Now that they heard that Sonoko could actually take them to experience it in advance, they naturally agreed.

Xiaolan said a little embarrassedly: "It would be inappropriate for so many of us to rashly disturb them."

Sonoko: “(*｀へ*) What does this have to do with me? After all, I, Suzuki Sonoko, am one of the company’s major shareholders.

Besides, aren't those little brats worried about Seiya? This is a good time to take them to see him. My mother won't say anything."

Hearing Sonoko patting her chest and claiming that she was also a major shareholder, Conan, who was following behind, couldn't help but sigh that although Sonoko had a carefree personality and not very smart, she was really lucky.

As the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, she has lived a life of luxury since childhood. Even if she marries out in the future, the 10% stake in Seiya Company alone is enough to make her one of the world's top female billionaires.

As the main provider of funds for Seiya's company, it is understandable that Suzuki Tomoko holds 25% of the shares, but Conan guesses that Suzuki Sonoko and Suzuki Ayako each hold 10% of the shares as the work of Seiya, who is obsessed with his sister.
