Leveling Technology To Save Humanity-Chapter 65: Can It Really Be Done?

Despite these 3 companies being bold enough to pay him a visit, Gort still favored SteinGate. Not because of the money they were willing to invest, but their mission and prospects.

One glance at the project documents, and he could tell they took time to ensure optimum perfection. The other major companies seemed to be doing this in a less serious manner, as though already deciding his loss against the big 3 in future.

Gort nodded, accepting all 3 projects. It’s just that since he was now prejudiced against the other 2 companies, SteinGate will no doubt have more support from his end.

"Mr. Gort, it’s a pleasure doing business with you."

"Yes, now that we’ve gone through everything, the money will be wired into your company’s account for production."

Both CEOs from the major companies waved nonchalantly, as they left the scene. When they stepped out with their subordinates, they shook their heads arrogantly.

"Sure enough, the young must still fall to learn growth."

"Indeed, I see that this Gort is nothing more than a lucky brat... He actually signed that contract, without looking at the pitfall we set for him."

"Tsk."

The duo smiled tactfully, knowing that no matter what, they won’t be the ones losing. They knew that the amount they were investing was nothing but peanuts.

If they were Gort, they wouldn’t charge less than 100,000 for any project involving such obvious high end VR technology. Do you think it’s a piece of cake to create any game using such high tech standards?

They felt that such an amount was an insult to anyone’s face. Yet, Gort willingly accepted it, perhaps because of ’desperation’.

Of course, as per the contract, Gort must create their games to perfection, not skimping out on quality for the least bit.

In the VR world, there were many questions that always plagued users: who runs the servers of any online game? Is it the publisher or the game developer? And if there are multiple developers, who runs these servers? Who runs these VR spaces?

In this case, GF WorldTech will run their own VR world space, partnering with anyone who wants to create a game in their set VR bubble.

Well, because of the contract signed, Gort will have no choice but to do his best to ensure that their games are done to perfection.

The only thing Gort asked was to limit the number of people who could be in their VR game servers at the same time. But so what? They didn’t care.

Tsk.

"It’s too easy..." one of them spoke slyly. "It practically feels like taking candy from a baby."

"Yeah. Since this is his first true game launch, he’ll endeavor to fill in the cracks and make it better for us, despite the measly amount we gave."

"The way I see it, we might make triple the amount... NO! Ten, fifty times more than we originally invested."

Because this is new, people will rush to test it out and leave feedback. So the money they’ll amass during this time will be a lot, even if people hated or loved the game.

—And if others want to complain, then can always find a way to blame it all on Gort. After all, they were a well established big gaming company who have been doing business for ages.

So wasn’t it easier to throw blame to a far newer and less experienced company like GF WorldTech?

According to Gort, GF WorldTech will not be introducing new games, but will experience something called <Scenery>.

What the heck is that?

Tsk.

Both CEOs left, feeling happy to have been able to trick Gort so far.

According to Gort, their game will be launched in 4 days.

So fast?

Even if it was a simple game, they couldn’t understand how Gort was very confident to be able to complete and even go as far as launching it all in 4 days.

Where was the fire? What was the rush about? None of them could understand.

Soon, they were off, leaving just Gort, Stein and their people behind, within the conference room.

"How interesting..." Stein slowly pushed his glasses in, slowly tapping a finger on his arm rest. "4 days, are you so confident?"

"Not confident, but sure." Gort grinned slyly. "I’ve never done anything I’m not 99.9% sure of."

"Oh?" Stein was getting more and more intrigued by Gort. "And you do know the penalties involved if you cannot deliver on quality, right?"

Stein’s contract was very fair and straightforward, unlike the other 2 companies. He dug no pits for Gort, though he felt that it was Gort who was digging holes for himself.

How real can it be to create the sort of game he wished for in just 4 days? Even Stein had a layer of doubt concerning this matter.

Well, to be fair, everything about Gort was unbelievable, from his creations to his age.

Barely 2 weeks ago, Stein received an invitation for a promised once-in-a-lifetime Launch, Press Conference and Viewing event.

Normally, he would have sent someone else to go on my behalf. But someone about the invitation tugged at his body.

’Gort Fairbang...’ He murmured his name, getting my secretary to research this young man. He had to say he was impressed by his accomplishments at such a tender age.

But is that truly why he decided to go? No!

Even he didn’t know what possessed me to how. But he was glad he did.

The launch was like nothing he’s seen before... This Gort was also a character that pleased him greatly, even though they hadn’t officially spoken yet.

They say chemistry between 2 people is something unexplainable.

Sometimes, you meet people and you like them right off the bat, and other times, you want nothing at all to do with them.

That day, he was blown away by Gort’s creativity, confidence, and technology. He trusted his intuition, resulting in today’s project meeting and approval.

Stein thought he had seen it all.

However, nothing could have prepared me for what was about to come.

"Mr. Stein," slowly rising to his feet, Gort did not give an answer to any of Stein’s questions. "Why don’t you take a walk with me?"
