Let them offer their loyalty

Chapter 308: I gave you the chance but you didn’t make any use of it!

——Virtual reality.

This thing was actually developed by many companies or scientific researchers several years ago, or even more than ten years ago.

People living in District 25 are definitely not unfamiliar with this concept; they can even be said to be quite familiar with it.

After all, this concept was used to make great promises more than ten years ago. After such a long time without any breakthroughs, people have long been disappointed with this concept.

In the development history of District 25, Mewtwo should be considered an unavoidable link. It and the long chain of interests derived from it provided a lot of source power for the early development of District 25. Even though District 25 is now complete, these industries are still an inseparable part of District 25.

This product has almost penetrated into the lives of the residents of District 25. As a non-essential product, its benefits can be said to have reached a rather terrifying level.

And this is just Mewtwo...Compared to the concept of virtual reality with higher degrees of freedom and stronger realism, the latter obviously has greater room for development.

Just a concept can deceive so much investment and profit. It is foreseeable that once someone really realizes this concept, the benefits it brings will be enough to make any force in the federation jealous.

This is why so many people want to get a piece of the pie in this industry... It's a pity that virtual reality is different from Mewtwo. Although the two are very similar in use, there are still certain deviations in principle.

The investment costs are too high and the sub-projects cannot be monetized. Even if most companies use the concept of "virtual reality", their main purpose is just to deceive investors.

As for those large conglomerates, they also have virtual reality R&D departments, but their R&D progress is not much faster than that of other companies.

For example, the "Oasis" project that Ms. Hisashiro was previously in charge of was a project developed when virtual reality was at its peak. At that time, it was considered the top project in the field of virtual reality.

This is also the reason why such an unfinished project can still make people spend money to take it over... In fact, the Stelter Consortium that took over this project did not think about actually realizing virtual reality research and development. What they valued was only the value brought by this "concept".

In their view, the next company to take over will always be the one that loses, and unfortunately, the Alte Group happens to be the victim.

So when Carol heard that Jonas wanted to discuss virtual reality-related cooperation with him, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious, wondering if Jonas was treating him as the next scapegoat.

Although the previous cooperation with the Alte Group was indeed good, Carol had no intention of being a sucker.

Before finding out the other party's real purpose, Carol did not intend to sign any cooperation terms with him...The reason why he agreed to meet with the other party was just to see what Jonas was up to.

.................................................. ......................

Arbitration Bureau, in the conference room.

"Miss Carol, it's been a long time since we last met. Thanks to your reminder last time, the Alt Foundation was able to avoid the cyber attack of the Void Realm Cult in time. I am really grateful."

Even though Carol knew Jonas was just being polite, she couldn't help but complain in her heart.

The information defense capabilities of the Alt Foundation are quite outstanding in the entire 25th District. According to the information in the Arbitration Bureau, even Senna Life's network security department may not be comparable to that of the Alt Foundation.

Jonas said this simply to tell himself the true situation of the Void Realm Sect and to remind himself not to raise a tiger to cause trouble.

Carol deliberately ignored this, pretending not to understand the hidden meaning in Jonas' words, and said:

"Maintaining order in District 25 and preventing outside forces from breaking the rules here is what the Arbitration Bureau should do."

Having said this, she paused, then continued:

"To make a long story short, let's talk about the cooperation that Mr. Jonas mentioned."

Hearing this, Jonas nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"Ms. Carol should know about the 'Oasis' project."

Hearing this, Carol couldn't help but frown, and his interest also decreased a little.

"Some time ago, the Alte Consortium acquired the 'Oasis' project and is preparing to restart the project. In view of the smooth cooperation before, I am ready to continue to cooperate with the Arbitration Bureau on this project."

Hearing this, Carol sighed inwardly, and was already 70% to 80% sure of his guess.

Jonas really did treat her as a sucker and was ready to ask him to take over.

Thinking of this, she remained calm and said:

"Unfortunately, the Arbitration Bureau has no plans to develop virtual reality for the time being... This is a little different from the cooperation I had envisioned. Sorry, please go back."

In fact, the Arbitration Bureau is not as indifferent to virtual reality as she said.

If this technology can really be realized, the cost of training a fighter will be greatly reduced. This is the scene that Carol has always dreamed of seeing.

Unfortunately, judging by the current speed of virtual reality development, it will probably take decades before we see such technology come to market.

As for what Jonas said, there is no need to think about it. It must be because no one wants the mess that they are going to ask the Arbitration Bureau to take over.

Jonas was not surprised to hear Carol's words. He sighed and spoke, but there was not much regret in his tone:

"What a pity! It seems that I can't show the first generation sample I brought to Miss Carol?"

"?"

Carol suspected that she had heard it wrong, but when she saw that the other party was about to leave without hesitation, she realized that she seemed to have misjudged something.

"Wait--"

"I thought we could talk some more..."

Hearing this, Jonas stopped, turned his head, and said with a slight smile:

"Feel sorry."

"I don't think we have anything to talk about..."

.................................................

PS: This chapter was supposed to be posted before six o'clock, it's a little late

Chapter 309: I will take off your collar myself, the final stage of submission

Extreme pulling!

Jonas didn't feel much pleasure as he watched Carol's expression change from dull to self-doubting.

After all, this was the result he wanted to see from the very beginning. Otherwise, he would not have said nothing about the fact that the first generation sample had been developed. Instead, he said that the Alte Consortium had actually developed the first generation sample only after the other party clearly refused.

It’s not that Jonas deliberately teased Carol and wanted to see him regretting his decision... Of course, this was also a factor, but more importantly, he wanted to occupy a commanding position, so it was necessary to give the other party a proper beating.

Watching Jonas leave without hesitation, Carol frowned slightly, imagining many possibilities in his mind, and for some reason, he felt uneasy.

The other party's words "I think there is no need for us to talk anymore" made her quite angry. Regardless of the true situation, she was more inclined to think that the other party was deliberately showing this attitude to lure her into the trap.

After adjusting his mood a little, Carol gave up the idea of ​​calling Jonas. He looked at the other person's leaving back, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he looked away.

After confirming his inner thoughts, Carol no longer had any expectations for this project. Perhaps this was really just Jonas's bluffing.

What's more, given the size of the Alte Group, even if it really developed a virtual reality product, the huge profits would not be swallowed by Jonas alone... She couldn't think of who else Jonas could cooperate with, and in the end the other party would still have to go to the Arbitration Bureau.

Thinking of this, Carol's uneasiness disappeared. She shook her head and stopped worrying about it. Instead, she focused her attention back on the documents in front of her.

But for some reason, Miss Carol always looked a little absent-minded.

......................................................................

After leaving the arbitration bureau, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

This time, the person who accompanied him out was none other than Miss Esni.

Holding the steering wheel with both hands, the girl saw Jonas in the rearview mirror. She opened the car door and asked:

"Mr. Jonas, is everything going well?"

"smoothly."

Jonas did not tell the other party that his original purpose was to make Carol take the initiative to refuse this cooperation.

So when Sini heard Jonas' answer, she didn't think much about it, but was a little confused as to why Mr. Jonas signed the contract so quickly.

She looked at the man in the back seat through the rearview mirror and asked:

"So, where is Mr. Jonas's next destination?"

"Let's go back to the company first. I have prepared something for you." Jonas said, but these words made Esni pause, as if she didn't expect Jonas to say such a thing suddenly.

"Prepared for me..?"

Esni asked again, as if to verify her doubts.

"Of course, is there a third person in the car?" Jonas said with some amusement.

After getting Jonas's affirmative answer, Esni couldn't help but pursed her lips, feeling a little excited. She didn't continue speaking, but gripped the steering wheel tightly and stepped on the accelerator.

Feeling the push on his back brought by the rapid acceleration, Jonas saw through the endoscope the girl's slightly excited expression, and it was obvious that she was looking forward to the "preparation" he mentioned.

He did not reveal the answer, leaving a hint of mystery for the girl.

By the time we arrived at the Alte Group, less than fifteen minutes had passed since the car started.

When getting out of the car, Jonas felt a little helpless. Previously, Esni always said that her driving skills were not very good. Now it seems that even if this skill is placed in the modified car racing competition, it is at least in the top ten.

The time wasted on the road was probably wasted deliberately by Esni in order to spend more time with herself.

As if she sensed what Mr. Jonas was thinking, Esni realized that she had just revealed something because of her impatience, which made her eyes wander and she didn't dare to look Jonas in the eye.

Fortunately, Jonas did not dwell on this. The two took the elevator to the office. Jonas walked into the office first and what caught his eye was a long safe box on the table.

Esni also recovered from her previous guilty conscience and looked at the safety box with some curiosity.

Jonas walked to the safety box and entered the secret. Then a brand new thermal sword appeared in the box.

He took out the heat sword, which was very heavy. He used a bit of his spiritual energy to grasp the sword steadily and handed it to Esni, then said:

"This is a heat energy sword made using technology previously extracted from the data in the Mika District. It has been optimized based on Miss Esni's previous generation of weapons."

Esni didn't expect that the other party's "preparation" for her would actually be a weapon. While she was a little surprised, she also became very interested in this weapon.

Miss Esni, who is quite talented in combat, naturally has her own unique understanding of weapons.

So after she took the weapon from Jonas, she couldn't let it go.

This giant sword is about 1.3 meters long, but it looks quite light in Esni's hand.

She put the giant sword back into the box and expressed her gratitude sincerely:

"Thanks to Mr. Jonas for his trust... I feel full of strength now."

——It’s like the lines after a character’s star is upgraded.

Such a nonsensical idea suddenly popped up in Jonas' mind, but he quickly put it aside, feeling quite amused.

After obtaining this weapon, Miss Esni's abilities will indeed be improved to a certain extent, which is essentially not much different from character star upgrades.

Jonas looked at the smile on the girl's face. He reached out and took off the collar from Esni's neck. Then he said:

"This is the second gift I prepared for you..."

"Of course, the decision is yours."

"Miss Esni, you are free."

The smile on the girl's face froze. Suddenly, her eyes became flustered and she seemed a little at a loss.

.................................................. ........................

PS: Recommend a book to a friend

Chapter 310 Su Lingqing (Pupils tremble violently)

It is too despicable to say this suddenly at a time like this.

Esni didn't even react for a moment, she bit her lower lip lightly, looking a little aggrieved.

Of course, such a situation cannot be said to be completely unprepared. At least Esni herself had more or less expected it.

Once the trust between both parties reaches a certain level, the collar becomes almost useless.

Jonas wanted to take off the collar, originally out of consideration for Esni's perspective. The existence of the collar represents distrust and vigilance. Only by taking off the collar can the two sides truly have a relationship based on trust.

But even though she knew it, when she was asked to take off the collar, Esni was still very resistant.

Just as Jonas reached out to untie the girl's collar, a slender white hand suddenly grabbed Jonas's hand as it was about to withdraw. Jonas was a little confused and asked:

"What's wrong?"

Esni seemed to be a little confused. After hearing this, she said:

"Can you not take off the collar?"
