Leveling Technology To Save Humanity-Chapter 61: Price!

One must recall that there are no images of what this Gort Fairbang looked like. Everything was a blur and a mystery to the majority of the world and internet viewers. So when Katrina welcomed the famous Mr. Gort on stage, As Gort made the silence was so defeaning that one would think they’ve accidentally gone into the wrong room.

Necks were stretched, Cameras clicked, bright lights flashed, and all eyes now focused on him—Gort Fairbang.

Those watching LIVE were also excited about his emergence. Finally, they get to see what the big Boss looks like. So how can they not be going bananas now?

[I’ll go! My father asked me why I was crying in the dark. Now, I’m on my knees, on rocks.]

[Pfft~. Upstairs, I understand your pain. Same here! My mother thought of my last exam scores, then looked at Gort. Now, my room is cleared of all games.]

[Are young people these days so fierce? Some people are making Sci-Fi VRs, but at his age, I was skipping school.]

[Dammit! If I touch him, will part of his intelligence run off me?]

[Help! My father just asked me to solve a math equation and I cried.]

[Why is my brain so useless? It’s amazing that we have already developed such technology and I still can’t find ’X’ in my homework assignment. Who can tell me where X is hiding? Behind the toilet taking a shit?]

[Gort, you are now my number one rival! Because of you, my girlfriend is thinking of dumping me! I’m just 4 years older than you, and she already expects me to have 4 times your achievements. How to cope with this?]

[Hahahahaha! I don’t know how I’ll sleep tonight. When can I get my own magical VR set?]

Gort waved gracefully, with an air of calmness about him. "Thank you, everyone, for coming out today. I am Gort Fairbang, Founder, researcher and creator of today’s GF WorldTech... However, even if I had the brains to create, I still wouldn’t be able to do so much without my team and my beloved Geldhan Village."

Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap~

Several villagers were so excited, as if their names were individually called out by Gort. And the many camera crews and reporters were quick to capture the heartwarming scene.

Hahhahahah~

"That’s our Little Gort! You don’t know, but I used to wipe his butt when he was just 5 years old." Well, they wiped his naughty butt, as well as their children’s, with their slippers. freeweɓnøvel.com

Who asked them to go to the farms and uproot so many crops all in the name of research? Do you know what crops meant to them, farmers, who toil the soul from morning to late afternoon and even night?

"Hey, they grow up so fast. It seems like just yesterday, when I was giving Gort his first swimming lesson." –By throwing him into the stream and waiting for him to save himself first.

Isn’t it true that only when one is in true danger, will their survival instincts kick in? They were proud to say that Gort learned how to swim that very day.

Wonderful! Wonderful! Truly a genius!

Many times, they say it takes a village to raise a child.

For village folks like them, this was true for every child born here. They’ve all once or twice babysat or taken the children out to do things like swing on a vine and drop into a pond.

They’ve run through the forest bare foot, and even their wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and relatives have babysit over 15 kids at some point - especially if the pregnant women who had to stay at home rather than going out on the fields.

People dropped their children over, if the children were too young, before heading for the fields... By the age of 7, most children help out in the fields.

The villagers all clapped teary-eyed when recalling the past. Their eyes shone with true gratitude and warmth, especially when thinking of their heavy bank accounts and investments that paid off.

Sure enough, it was great to follow their heart and bank on the right person.

Despite their fear that their initial investments would go down the drain, they more or less raised Gort and believed in him to some extent. Their belief led them to their current millionaire status.

"Mom, when I grow up, I’ll make sure to join big Brother Gort’s company!"

"Yes, yes, yes! We must repay him for all he did."

More importantly, they must personally care for their investment by sending their children in too.

Clap, clap, clap clap~

The claps were still thunderous.

Gort raised his hands, calling for silence.

"As many of you have personally experienced, GF WorldTech’s VR technology is unique and one of a kind."

"Thanks to our success in Bio-electro technology, we were able to accurately translate, taste, smell, sight, touch, hunger, heat, excitement, and all natural conditions we would normally feel."

"The brain is the core. It tells us what we think we know. The neuro electronic information transmitted is all input and output from the brain."

Several people nodded, seemingly understanding the basic concepts behind Gort’s success. But although he mentioned it casually, they would be fools to think it was so easy to achieve.

The corners of Gort’s lips creeped high, knowing some big wings in the VR would have sleepless nights today onwards.

"Now, let’s talk PRICE!"

....

Price! Price! Price!

That was the big concern right now. Many were crossing their fingers and holding their breaths.

Gort explained: "The VR Lone Patch 001, also known as the VR-LP1... will be sold for 575 Gwins! As for the Lone Watch Genesis, also known as the LWG... it will be sold for 450 Gwins."

What? Just that?

The Price was no doubt a shock to the masses.

One has to know that the cheapest VR set out there for gaming is 200 Gwins and the most expensive one out there is 1000 Gwins.

So these prices were far more acceptable to them.

They expected the price to start at 2000 Gwins or even 3000 Gwins for the technology they’ve seen just now. But who knew Gort was willing to start this low?

Hey... Many Live viewers, especially gamers, smiled gratefully.

This Gort is quite human.
