What do you mean the games you make are all real?!

After completing Resident Evil Chapter 2, Metten Corporation immediately issued a statement.

Congratulations to Umbrella Corporation on the official launch of its products!

The announcement was concise, with a link to Umbrella's official website and an introduction below. Umbrella is headquartered in Nusantara, an island nation in Southeast Asia, and its core business is biopharmaceuticals.

The announcement also revealed that the Resident Evil series of games was exclusively sponsored and developed by Umbrella Corporation, which also provided the technical data. Umbrella Corporation was the prototype for the Umbrella Corporation in the games.

The green herbs, first aid sprays, and other items that appear in the game are inspired by the research and experimental data from within Umbrella Corporation.

The skin-renewing essence, moisturizing cream, and hair growth tonic awarded as customs clearance rewards are the company's first batch of consumer products to be launched on the market.

The announcement caused a stir in the entire player community and the capital market.

"I knew it! Where did Miteng, a company on the verge of bankruptcy, get the money and technology to create such a groundbreaking game? It all makes sense now that there was a big investor behind it providing the funding and technology!"

"This Umbrella Corporation is actually the prototype for the Umbrella Corporation?! But isn't Umbrella the villain in the game? How come there's a wealthy investor willing to be the villain in the game?!"

"The Umbrella Corporation hasn't been explicitly identified as a villain in the game, but the items we use are made by them. If they really have the same effects as the drugs in the game, why would we be worried about finding buyers?"

"Umbrella's official website says that the three products to be released soon will all be priced at 800 yuan each!"

"800 yuan? A revolutionary technology that can make your skin look five to ten years younger costs 800 yuan? My wife bought a bottle of a high-end face cream last month that cost over 2,000 yuan, and after using half a bottle, her pores haven't even shrunk. If Umbrella really works, this price is practically charity!"

"Is Umbrella trying to completely disrupt the skincare industry? Won't all other beauty companies go bankrupt?!"

"Holy crap, MiTeng has released another update! They're giving these skincare products as a reward to the first 100,000 players who complete Resident Evil Chapter 2! Guys, hurry up and grab them!"

Immediately, a large number of players flooded into "Resident Evil". Players who originally wanted to wait for a walkthrough to be released before completing the game were also attracted by the reward of 100,000 skin care products and began to compete for these 100,000 slots.

One hundred thousand sounds like a lot, but there are hundreds of millions of players worldwide who have downloaded this game. When the quota is spread out among all countries, there are only so many slots available. If you're late, they're really gone.

Meanwhile, major financial media outlets quickly followed up with reports, analyzing the impact that Umbrella's upcoming products would have on the global skincare market.

The Nusantara government also issued an official statement welcoming Umbrella's establishment immediately, and offered the highest level of tax incentives and policy support, regarding it as a milestone in the country's industrial upgrading.

Meanwhile, intelligence agencies from various countries that had been investigating Mitten Corporation quickly shifted their focus.

Agents and commercial spies from the United States of America, the Kingdom of Victoria, the Northern Federation, and other countries turned their attention from Mitten Corporation to Umbrella's headquarters in Nusantara, realizing that the real focus was on this newly emerged company.

Lu Fuyun frowned as he looked at the announcement on the screen. He knew that there must be someone behind Mi Teng, but he did not expect that the person behind the scenes would actually jump out on their own.

He had a feeling that something was wrong, but he still needed to investigate this company called Umbrella.

However, the most shocked person was Nobuyuki Nakajima of the Fusang Biochemical Research Institute. He repeatedly watched the announcement and Liao Yunkai's unboxing live stream, especially the scene where the skin-renewing essence faded the scars in a few seconds, which made him tremble all over.

This technology, which far surpasses the current level of biotechnology, confirms his conjecture that the viruses and monsters in Resident Evil may not be just game settings.

The Umbrella Corporation may possess something similar; those monsters definitely have a prototype.

He already has magical spores in his possession, so it's not incomprehensible that others might have even more peculiar things.

"If I could get Umbrella's technology... no, if I could just get a little bit of their research data, I could create a real tyrant!" Nobuyuki Nakajima's eyes gleamed with fanaticism.

He immediately began drafting a new plan, requesting that a special operations team be sent to Nusantara to obtain Umbrella's technical secrets at all costs.

The impact of Miteng's announcement continues to grow.

In a village on the outskirts of Deep Blue City, Feng Jia, exhausted after a long day, returned to her rented room. The moment she opened the door, she saw her daughter, Su Jing, with bandages wrapped around her face, squatting at the doorway.

"Mom, you're back." The girl, Su Jing, looked up, her face half covered by gauze, revealing only her bright, sparkling eyes.

Feng Jia squatted down and subconsciously raised her hand to touch her daughter's face. Her fingers stopped a few centimeters away from the gauze. In the end, she just gently brushed the stray hairs on her daughter's forehead, her eyes filled with heartache.

Their family was a very ordinary family. Although they didn't have much money, they were still happy. Until a year ago, the day before their daughter's birthday, they wanted to earn more money so they could give their daughter a proper birthday celebration, so they worked overtime at the factory for a few extra hours.

Su Jing, the daughter, felt sorry for the two of them and wanted to cook a meal for them at home, but the gas stove malfunctioned and her face was severely burned.

The doctor said that if her daughter doesn't have a skin graft, her face will be disfigured for life. However, the skin graft will cost a lot of money, so Feng Jia is now working three jobs a day to raise the money for her daughter's surgery as soon as possible.

"Hmm, have you eaten? What delicious food did Daddy make for you today?" Feng Jia asked softly.

"Dad didn't cook dinner tonight, and he's been in his room all day without coming out," Su Jing shook her head.

"What?" Feng Jia frowned.

Her husband, Su Daqiang, usually plays games after get off work and is quite knowledgeable about them. In order to prevent the previous incident from happening again, Su Daqiang quit his job and started earning money in the game while taking care of their daughter.

She knew her husband, Su Daqiang, well; he was a good family man and it was impossible that he was so engrossed in playing video games that he hadn't even cooked dinner for their daughter.

Feng Jia rushed to the door and knocked: "Daqiang! Are you alright?"

However, there was no response from inside. Instead, several painful vomiting sounds came from inside. Feng Jia quickly opened the door and saw Su Daqiang wearing a virtual reality headset, clutching his stomach and vomiting on the ground.

This shouldn't be the first time Su Daqiang has vomited; the floor of the room is covered in vomit, and now Su Daqiang can only vomit some stomach acid.

"Daqiang! Are you alright?" Feng Jia immediately rushed over and helped Su Daqiang up.

Su Daqiang took off the virtual reality helmet on his head and gave Feng Jia a weak but excited smile.

"Honey, I did it! Our daughter is saved!"

While he was grinding in the game, he would also keep an eye on whether there would be any big news in the gaming world, so after Mi Teng issued that announcement, he immediately thought of the scar on his daughter's face.

Then he decisively rushed into Resident Evil to try and grab one of the 100,000 spots. To ensure he could get the moisturizer he wanted, he even turned the pain simulation to 100%.

The pain simulation is absolutely perfect, and the Licker Tyrant in the game is no joke either.

He died again and again, each death as painful as a real one, so painful that he convulsed and vomited. Many times he wanted to give up, but when he thought of his daughter's lovely face, he persevered and finally secured a spot by passing the test 99,000th.

"What does that mean?" Feng Jia had been at work and hadn't had time to follow the news online, so she didn't understand what Su Daqiang meant.

But just then, there was a knock on the door of their rented room. The knocking was very soft, but it sounded particularly clear in the rented room late at night.

Feng Jia glanced at Su Daqiang, who was slumped on the ground, then looked back at her daughter squatting by the door. After hesitating for two seconds, she got up to open the door.

A man stood outside the door, dressed in a black courier uniform with Umbrella's red and white umbrella logo printed on his chest. He was holding a small but exquisitely packaged box, exactly the same as the one Liao Yunkai unboxed in his live stream.

"Hello, this is a reward from Umbrella Corporation for players who have completed the game. Please accept it."

Feng Jia was stunned. She subconsciously looked back into the room and saw Su Daqiang getting up from the ground, leaning against the door frame. There were still traces of vomit on the corner of his mouth, but he was smiling like he had won the lottery.

"We're here...we're here so fast?" Su Daqiang staggered to the door, grabbed the box, his hands still trembling, not from pain this time, but from excitement.

The deliveryman nodded, turned around, and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Su Daqiang sat down on the ground with the box in his arms, and Feng Jia pulled Su Jing to squat down as well. The box was opened, and inside were three tubes of white skincare products, each with the red and white umbrella-shaped logo printed on it.

This is the full set of rewards that only players who complete the 100% pain simulation will receive.

He took out the bottle of moisturizing cream, carefully unscrewed the cap, squeezed out a little white cream onto his fingertip, looked into his daughter's bright eyes, and said softly, "Xiaojing, Daddy is putting medicine on you. It might be a little cold or a little painful, but don't be afraid."

Su Jing nodded obediently.

Feng Jia was still somewhat skeptical of these things of unknown origin.

However, under the unwavering gaze of her husband, Su Daqiang, she ultimately chose to believe him and quickly removed the gauze from her daughter's face, revealing a somewhat terrifying face covered in scars.

Su Daqiang gently applied the ointment, and Su Jing immediately felt a cool sensation on her face, along with a slight itch.

She couldn't resist reaching out to scratch, but Feng Jia grabbed her wrist, and then Feng Jia's eyes widened.

The uneven scar that had kept her awake at night for so long was gradually fading under her watchful gaze.

The color faded from dark brown to light brown, then from light brown to pale pink, until finally it faded to just a faint trace, like the light marks left after being exposed to the sun in summer, which are almost invisible unless you look closely.

Su Daqiang also came over. He squatted down on the other side of his daughter, reaching out to touch her face. He pulled his hand back halfway, wiping it vigorously on his pants before daring to gently touch the new skin with his fingertips.

It felt soft and elastic to the touch, almost indistinguishable from the surrounding intact skin.

"Dad, Mom, what's wrong?" Su Jing couldn't see her own face, but she could see that her mother's eyes were red and her father's lips were trembling. She panicked a little.

Feng Jia pulled her daughter into her arms, holding her very tightly, as if she wanted to crush all the heartache, self-blame, fear, and despair of the past year into that embrace.

"Baby...baby, you're all better...you're all better..."

Su Daqiang sat to the side, leaning against the door frame, still clutching the lotion in his hand. He seemed to have all his strength drained away, and suddenly he burst into tears, crying even louder than the day his daughter had her accident, his whole body trembling.

"Thank you Umbrella... Thank you Mitten..." Su Daqiang started laughing as he cried, his face covered in snot and tears.

At the same time, Feng Jia posted a photo of her daughter's face in a burn victim group she had joined at the hospital. The group consisted of people with severe scars from burns.

The group message notification sounded for a full minute. Feng Jia didn't reply. Instead, she pulled her daughter and Su Daqiang together, and the three of them hugged each other, savoring this hard-won happiness.

Such scenes were repeated around the world in the following days.

Some people sent moisturizing cream to friends who were disfigured in a fire, some used skin-renewing essence to help their mothers who were disfigured by domestic violence regain their confidence, and some sent hair growth serum to their wives who lost their hair due to chemotherapy.

Resident Evil players began spontaneously sharing their stories with these three skincare products on forums, and one post after another filled the game community.

Unboxing videos from 100,000 players who have completed the game spread like wildfire on social media.

One of the players, named Su Daqiang, recorded a video without editing or filters, showing the entire process of his daughter's face transforming from scarred to normal skin. The video garnered over 300 million views in a single day.

The capital market has gone completely mad.

The world’s three largest beauty giants all held emergency board meetings, and their stock prices plummeted by 22%, 18% and 27% respectively in a single day.

They managed to obtain these three drugs for research, but they couldn't produce anything in a short time.

Umbrella's official website pre-sale page crashed three times on the first day due to excessive traffic.

When these three drugs were officially launched, nearly seven million doses of stock were sold out within a minute.

Fang Qingzhou had already returned to Miteng's company building. Instead of selling the three skincare products at a rate of one million per day, he saved them up together.

He knew these three skincare products would be popular, but he didn't expect them to be this popular—they sold out in just one minute.

"It seems we need to clear customs as soon as possible and set up more production lines. The current output can't keep up with the demand at all..." Fang Qingzhou had already seen scalpers reselling the skincare products he had snatched online at inflated prices, more than ten times the original price. That was all his money.

He has tried his best to crack down on scalpers. Each person can only buy one order, but the demand gap is too big, and the money paid by those who didn't manage to buy is too much. There is simply no way to completely eliminate scalpers.

Just then, there was a knock on his office door.

"Come in."

Soon, the female secretary came in carrying a silk banner: "President Fang, someone has brought another silk banner."

"Let's hang it on the wall next to it," Fang Qingzhou said. At this moment, the walls of his office were already covered with banners, all of which were sent by people who had used those skin care products to improve their family members' appearance. Among them was a banner from Su Daqiang.

Two weeks ago, if someone had said they wanted to send a banner to Mitten, everyone else would have thought that person was crazy; they'd be lucky if they didn't throw feces at the Mitten building.

Unexpectedly, in just two weeks, Mi Teng's reputation changed dramatically.

After the female secretary left, Fang Qingzhou stood up from the boss's chair and went to the wall of brocade banners. Lately, besides looking at the data of "Resident Evil", he also looked at the posts of players who had won skin care products.

Seeing those people living happier lives because of the things he worked so hard to create warmed his heart, which is why he didn't price his skincare products at exorbitant levels.

The scalpers have now proven that there will be buyers no matter how expensive it is, but they still have no intention of raising prices.

"Perhaps I really can change this world..." He remembered the saying, "When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when rich, one should help the world."

He's not that rich yet, so he can only change the world a little bit. Things might be different when he's richer in the future.

[One week has passed. Please prepare to re-enter the Resident Evil world.]
