Chapter 461: Chapter 455: Ingenious Use
Finn Lewis was taken aback. How did Jack Lewis find out about yesterdayâs incident today? No, he must have known about it yesterday. Otherwise, he wouldnât have come over today. This was clearly something that had already been discussed internally. But Finn didnât change his expression, he had anticipated this. It was simple, if Finn revealed that he was an employee of the Hustle Spot and the other party had no reaction, then they were not acting like an intelligence department would.
Or rather, they didnât even need to reveal that Finn was working with the Hustle Spot, from how quickly Finn had risen, the intelligence department likely started investigating him already, right? Sending someone into Finnâs company wasnât something unimaginable. Finn wasnât angry. After all, these people wouldnât be able to get the real information about him. If they did, both Olivia Thatcher and Zero would warn him.
â100%, I can say that with certainty,â Finn responded sincerely. âWe built the simulation based on the real structure of Tidal City.â
âIncluding the inside? What about the underground?â Jack asked quickly.
Finn glanced at the far end behind Jack. They were surrounded in a circle by a group of people. Whenever someone tried to enter, they would politely hold them off.
âAll the structures, even the underground drainage system. Of course, if it were some secret facilities, then I guess they wouldnât be complete,â Finn replied. After a moment of thought, he did not hide anything. He now had the backing of the Hustle Spot. Given their displayed strength, both middle-aged men would believe him, wouldnât they? Moreover, Finn was not bluffing!
Indeed, Finn didnât know where Olivia Thatcher got all these data, but with her abilities, it was not hard to get such materials from libraries or other places. But these facilitiesâ blueprints were definitely not in the library materials. As for whether Olivia found them or not, that was unknown to Finn. Anyway, creating such a simulated city strived for authenticity, but being too authentic was also not good.
âReally?â Jack asked with a serious face.
âOf course, itâs true.â Finn answered, a bit speechless.
âCan other countries do this too?â
âYes, they all can,â Finn nodded.
âWell then, as a gaming company, would you be interested in collaborating with us to develop a game? In partnership with the military.â Jack suddenly straightened up and asked.
Finn was taken aback and quickly understood Jackâs intention. âYou mean, based on the real structures of these cities, you want to create a game? A war game? For soldiers to play?â
âOf course, a war game! Youâre right, itâs for soldiers. Additionally, your game servers have a large capacity. You undoubtedly have unique technologies in this area. Can it be developed into an online game? Of course, solely for soldiers. How many soldiers can it accommodate online at most?â Jack asked seriously.
âIn theory, we could accommodate all active service members. But telling me this now doesnât do any good. I need to go back and discuss this with the technical team. And how should we charge for the construction of this? Do we charge like an online game? Or do you buy the rights outright? And what about operations? We certainly canât hand that over to you. We would need to operate the servers, including updates to the maps, etc. These are all issues to consider,â Finn directly raised a series of questions.
Jack, on the other hand, was even more straightforward, shaking his head and saying, âThis is not my department. I just came to confirm. The negotiations about the specific numbers will need to be discussed with the military. We donât care how much it is, as long as it can meet your current level. The last question is, can your game rendering be as realistic as current games?â
âThat wonât be a problem, game engines can be used interchangeably.â Finn nodded in agreement.
âGreat, then you two can continue your date, I will make myself scarce.â Jack sported a rare smile, then stood up and left. As he did, Finn noticed that many people around them also began to disperse. Finn was rather annoyed. He thought, âHow are we supposed to carry on here? Didnât you see all the customers who were stopped pointing and whispering about us?â
âLetâs go. They probably came over because this matter is somewhat urgent. Letâs find another place,â Kay Lee chuckled and squeezed Finnâs hand before offering her suggestion.
âAlright, why donât we go see a movie?â Finn suggested after some thought.
This chaptđźr is updatđd by ÆreeÏebnovel.Æom.
âSure, letâs go,â Kay willingly agreed. Isnât it said that no matter what you do, the key is who are you doing it with?
Luckily, even though everyone was pointing and gawking, Finn and Kay were well shielded. So, the two of them could safely leave KC Fast Food. There was a cinema not far from the KC Fast Food. However, before Finn and Kay could head in that direction, Finnâs phone rang. He took it out of his pocket to check it. It was a call from Mr. M.
Finn exhaled with some annoyance and grudgingly picked up the call. âHello, Mr. M.â
âDirector Lewis, the establishment of the Professional Game Alliance E-sports Player Union has been completed, and most of the major tournament games have basically ended. Can we start promoting our activity?â Mr. M asked.
This was not a minor issue. Finn thought for a moment, then replied, âWe can start advertising. As for the new version of the Game Alliance, itâs ready. Iâll have someone deliver it directly to Fist Company.â
âAlright, thatâs good. But about the final funding and other issues, are you sure weâre going with our previous agreement?â Mr. M asked again. It was still not too late to back out now, but once they started advertising, there would be no turning back.
âJust stick to the plan,â Finn nodded in affirmation.
âAlright, then Iâll go advertise.â Mr. M responded and hung up the phone.
âSure, letâs get started. The update to the current version can happen next week. Or rather, thereâs no need for an update. Letâs just have all the users upgrade to the new client,â Finn thought for a moment and then decided.
