Chapter 340
When the fully virtual reality game 'Second World' first went on sale, most people were in a wait-and-see state because of the accident caused by the Sindora Company's "Cocoon".
There were also some people who, like Kogoro Mouri, thought that the advertisement was exaggerated, so they didn't take it seriously at all.
After all, 100,000 yen is a considerable amount of money for many people. Buying a game or something with it always makes many people worry about being cheated or ripped off.
However, as the saying goes, good wine is not afraid of deep alleys. There are people who wait and see, and naturally there are many people who are attracted by the advertisement and want to try it.
Some young people who are not short of money at home and like adventure themselves, as well as some people who have become vegetative, or some people who cannot get out of bed all day due to illness, became the first batch of players of 'Second World'.
And when these players entered the virtual game world, they truly experienced what an immersive virtual reality game is.
Some people who were mediocre in reality became heroes praised by everyone in the virtual world because of their excellent reaction and operation.
Some patients who were paralyzed for life never thought that they would have a day to walk like flying again, and they burst into tears of joy in the virtual world instantly.
Compared to the faster flow of time in the outside world, they can use limited time to experience a more wonderful adventure life.
Even the various delicacies in the virtual world are as Yoko Okino said, not only is the taste excellent, but you don't have to worry about getting fat no matter how much you eat.
The first batch of players gave rave reviews after experiencing 'Second World', and soon, more people were attracted by it.
Even in the end, even the officials came down to commend the Suzuki Financial Group for the contribution this game made to the current society.
As everyone knows, in this materialistic society, the suicide rate in this country has remained high every year. Many people choose to end their lives after bearing great life pressure.
And the emergence of the virtual world has given new hope to many people who are depressed in the real world.
As the best place to release pressure, 'Second World' sold even more hotly after being recognized and commended by the officials.
Now that the stealth devices in the larger market are on the shelves, they are snapped up, and there are even second-hand dealers who have hyped the original price of 100,000 yen to one million yen!
There are many smart and insightful people in the world. It is foreseeable that 'Second World' will become the mainstream of society in the future.
And the popularity of an industry will inevitably give birth to many derivative industries, especially in 'Second World', where various systems are quite perfect.
Whether it is food, clothing, housing, and transportation, or even entertainment and gambling, what is in the real world is also here.
Many people with foresight have discovered that wealth in the virtual world may be linked to reality in the future, so entering 'Second World' to develop earlier will naturally be one step ahead.
The rave reviews and popularity of 'Second World', in addition to allowing the Suzuki Financial Group to obtain astonishing wealth, also improved its status a lot compared to before.
However, what the Suzuki Financial Group obtained was only fame and status. As for the benefits, most of them went into the pockets of Shengzai and his family.
Compared to the Suzuki Financial Group with many shareholders, 'Second World' was mainly developed by Shengzai's company.
And the shares of this company are basically held by Tomoko Suzuki and her three children.
Tomoko Suzuki, who was the "head of the family" before, now has more confidence in speaking in the Suzuki Financial Group.
There is no other reason. Although Tomoko Suzuki's words were useful in the previous Suzuki Financial Group, it was ultimately her husband Shiro Suzuki and his brother Jirokichi Suzuki.
But the situation is different now. Tomoko Suzuki's identity is no longer just the wife of the chairman of the Suzuki Financial Group, and she is also the chairman of the "Shenglingyuan Company".
Not only does she own 25% of the shares herself, but even Shengzai, because he is a minor, is temporarily managed by her as Shengzai's guardian, and the 30% of shares held by Shengzai are also temporarily managed by her.
In other words, in the Suzuki Financial Group, it may not be Tomoko Suzuki who has the final say, but in her son's company, she, Tomoko Suzuki, is the true Empress Dowager.
Those shareholders of the Suzuki Financial Group before, and some members of the Suzuki family, who doesn't greet her with a smile when they see Tomoko Suzuki now?
Because they also know very well that if this trend continues, it is almost a certainty that Shengzai's company will surpass the system of the Suzuki Financial Group in the future.
It is also because of these reasons that Tomoko Suzuki has been in high spirits recently, wandering among various high-end gatherings, and every time she is the object of everyone's competition to flatter.
And compared to Tomoko Suzuki who is enjoying it, Shengzai is quite exhausted. Although in the circle of ordinary people, he is still just a seven-year-old child who is a bit smart.
But in the investigations of some interested people, many people have discovered that the main person who developed 'Second World' is this youngest son of the Suzuki Financial Group.
Shengzai's name as a genius spread, and soon there were many news media coming to interview, and many wealthy families trying to come over for marriage.
Even because of this, Shengzai, who was tired of dealing with it, borrowed a room at the Mouri Detective Agency for the time being under Yuanzi's relationship.
For the little brat who came to the door, Kogoro Mouri was originally full of dissatisfaction, and said that this was a detective agency, not a little brat shelter center.
But soon his dissatisfied mood vanished instantly in front of a check that Shengzai casually took out.
"If you don't want to be so eye-catching, you should have restrained yourself before."
Looking at Shengzai, who had already changed into pajamas in his room, Conan said with some dissatisfaction.
The number of rooms in the Mouri Detective Agency is limited. Shengzai came to stay temporarily, so he naturally had to squeeze into a room with Conan.
Uncle Mouri usually sleeps in the living room drunk. Shengzai doesn't mind sleeping with Ran, but Conan, this guy, minds.
Squeezing into a room with Shengzai is nothing, the main thing is that since Shengzai came, the special session of him and Ran taking a bath together is gone.
Because if he and Ran take a bath together, with Ran's personality, she will definitely invite Shengzai, who is also a child.
It's fine for his own wife to be seen by himself, but it's obviously not okay for others to see, even if Conan knows that Shengzai is really just a seven-year-old brat.
"I would like to pretend to be crazy and stupid like you, but the development and operation of the virtual game world cannot be done by me and 'Noah's Ark' alone.
With so many people in the entire R&D team, I, who need to be responsible for certain guidance, cannot hide my identity at all.
However, my borrowing a room this time, fearing trouble at home is only one aspect, and the other aspect is actually that I feel like I have been targeted by a group of troublesome guys!"
