Chapter 377: Holographic Game

The old torture, not being able to get used to wearing it is normal.

Tang Can has been out for so many years and really especially hates high heels!

She has to wear them at every banquet! Especially at overseas banquets, occasional "little surprises" like bombs appear; each time she escapes for her life, Tang Can fears she will sprain her foot and lose her life.

On stage, Su Yu, carrying the birthday speech Su Xi wrote for her last night, scans the crowd with her eyes and indeed sees a huge group of young talents.

Su Yu multitasks, delivering her speech while venting to Wulongcha.

【So many people are keeping me in mind! I haven't even hoarded any hot money, and yet someone is scheming against me.】

Wulongcha is also especially angry; what has it been working for all these years? Isn't it just so Su Yu can earn a bit more? Those people coveting Su Yu's money are essentially coveting its money! 【I checked everything, none of them are clean!】

Whether they're older than Su Yu or younger, anyone who comes here is not a cheap lamp!

【This is normal. Normal people choose to earn money through their own effort. Those who have reached this level, whose three‑view is normal, were a bit arrogant in youth and disdain using such lowly means to appropriate others' property. A man who agrees to use such means to scheme against others cannot be a good person.】

After the speech ends, Su Yu leaves the high platform and, staying beside Su Xi, talks with business partners.

In Su Xi's first year after she took over Su Clan, he will hand over all company affairs to her. But the whole family is uneasy about Su Yu attending business networking parties alone; first, her achievements aren't impressive enough, and some elders would make things difficult for her. Second, they're worried about her safety. Only after she becomes familiar with everything and can face all the parties calmly will Su Xi let her attend alone.

Su Yu's eighteenth birthday banquet went smoothly.

After the banquet, Su Yu looks at that long list and feels a bit overwhelmed.

"There are actually this many problematic ones?"

"Indeed!"

Luyingying has a straw in her mouth, occasionally sipping milk.

"I wasn't this tired when I participated in acting!"

There are over fifty of them!

They just can't catch up!

"How many people have you actually offended?"

Luyingying thought, Su Yu's temper was a bit odd while at the base, but overall she was still a good girl! How is it that just after she came out, the people sent to harm her could fill an entire classroom.

Zhaoshizhe returns with heavy steps, collapsing onto the sofa beside Luyingying, "Move aside, let me lie down!"

Luyingying struggles to shift and gives her a spot.

"Really that tired?"

Zhaoshizhe and Luyingying both nod. It's not just tired, it's extremely tired! While Luyingying is grabbing people, she still makes sure they're watching the monitors—caught someone in the southeast corner, then a problem arose in the northwest corner; before reaching the northwest, the southwest corner revealed another target.

They, a group, circle around a fairly large banquet venue without effort, but it costs energy.

"Did you find out who they are?"

Su Yu looks at Zhaoshizhe. The invitations she sent out are all real‑name based. But if some people bring a boyfriend, girlfriend, or relatives, the staff at the entrance can't easily stop them.

Each person can bring one companion into the venue. The staff at the door can only register, not inspect each one. This creates an opening for schemers.

"Found it."

Zhaoshizhe is the one in charge of the investigation, and she's truly exhausted, "Some people are outright puppets paid to do tasks, having no idea what they're bringing in? Or they know, but have to brainwash themselves into ignorance."

The polygraph isn't without flaws. They've tried it, and the effect wasn't very noticeable.

"The clues point abroad, then they cut off!"

【Wulongcha~】

【Found it: foreign spies and domestic traitors, your identity has been exposed. Your Holographic Equipment has also been leaked out!】

【!!!】

Su Yu widens her eyes, "No way, they're sick, right? Aren't they afraid I'll deal with them?"

Su Yu usually loves to roam foreign websites; wherever she can cause trouble, she does. Since they know her abilities, how dare those people strike at her? Aren't they afraid she'll find out and retaliate?

"I need to tell my uncle, I don't want the overseas business, just eliminate it directly; I'm afraid they'll kidnap my family!"

Luyingying and Zhaoshizhe have no objections; the country won't let Su Yu suffer losses.

Su Yu goes up, tells Su Xi, and simultaneously broadcasts the news to close contacts like Liang Yan and Tang Can before heading downstairs.

"I have a question: the foreigners targeting me—could it be that someone domestic leaked something? It's just a guess; otherwise it doesn't make sense. I have such great value that they'd sacrifice so many people to scheme?"

Among the people Luyingying captured, there's a spy!

Luyingying and Zhaoshizhe stare at each other, decisively report it! They just want to be ruthless messengers, not think anymore. Let the higher‑ups investigate the specifics.

……

After Su Yu fully takes over Su Clan, the biggest change compared to when Su Xi was in power is the leadership across all levels of Su Clan Group.

Su Yu loves random inspections; leaders who don't get things done receive warnings. Accumulate three warnings, and they'll happily get a retirement package!

The key is, the cursed HR department even makes banners to bid farewell to every dismissed employee. Once fired, that's a social‑death scene! Su Clan runs smoothly, and those who want drama aren't satisfied. After Su Yu took over Su Clan, there were no dazzling achievements or massive special approvals, reducing her to nothing.

Su Yu's fans don't believe it, but some jealous people can't help it; they jump on the topic to bash Su Yu.

When Su Yu sees the Hot Search, she just thinks her luck is absurdly good! 【Wulongcha, my luck is just too great?】

Su Yu feels her luck is truly great! She didn't use a Lucky Card, but won one million when buying a scratch‑off.

After her promotion, the projects she invested in are fairly decent. Profits are indeed modest, but they break even within a year, providing long‑term, stable income. 【This morning, they just told me we could announce the Holographic Online Game news, and shortly after that Hot Search appeared—doesn't that slap me in the face?】

Su Yu thinks, once she announces the Holographic Online Game news, how excited netizens will be; the faces of those who previously scolded her will be so swollen, and she's happy! 【Most likely because you're currently the person with the highest Fortune? Some Fortune unconsciously gathers around you; do you want to be the Girl of Fortune?】

Just hearing the name, Su Yu knows it's a lofty title, 【Now that I'm the Girl of Fortune, can I still go back?】

【Can't!】

Wulongcha says it plainly and decisively, giving no opening at all.

【Why?】

【If you carry the Fortune of an entire plane, I can't take you away. We're here to earn merit, not to help the Fortune‑deceiving Girl of Fortune run away, which would be immoral!】

【Alright.】

Su Yu thinks, she must make good use of this good luck during this period, to pull more things for her own family.

As Su Yu expected, the Holographic Online Game video appeared on Su Yu's and the Su Clan's official media social accounts, and netizens went crazy with joy! Even though they saw and heard Su Yu and others say that the technology is still immature, the material cost of the connecting equipment is too expensive, and it cannot be mass‑produced yet. Netizens were not angry; waving a huge hand almost swallowed by the crowd, they said the money is enough! From online to offline life, everyone is discussing this! Many have already started saving, fearing they won't be able to afford the connecting Holographic Equipment later, being laughed at, and also that their game levels will fall behind!

The data of the Holographic Online Game and the manufacturing of the connecting Holographic Equipment are still tightly sealed by the authorities in a base, and no one may touch them at will! Su Yu learned that the Holographic game cannot be released in the short term, so she shifted her focus to the newly built Yan Le Yuan.

Su Yu completed the development of Yan Le Yuan and its surroundings in Shencheng, and while construction continued, workers discovered a tomb. After preliminary probing, experts identified the tomb as a royal mausoleum. A large group of scholars and professionals are heading there for study.

The hotel here only had time for a quick tidy‑up before it began receiving guests.

The occupancy rate of Yan Le Yuan is quite fast. Some clever people have already quit their previous jobs and are looking for work in the commercial district around Yan Le Yuan.

In Shencheng's Yan Le Yuan, the most popular job is bartender! It is a bar that only allows women to enter! The bar's security hires martial‑arts specialists, and only those who pass the test administered by the bodyguard hired by Su Yu can become security.

The security job posting practically says, "I want you to take on ten opponents!" Such conditions are harsh, but the compensation is excellent: meals, lodging, and a salary of ten thousand yuan! This package exceeds everyone's expectations! Online criticism and praise are split evenly! 【Drunk】: Ah—! Why am I not a muscular woman! 【World's No. 1】: How can a woman possibly beat a man? You'll never recruit anyone your whole life; with such great terms, you'd be better off hiring some strong men to guard!

【Calm down a bit】: Whimper, I can't stay calm! Why can't I take on ten at once? Give me my mother's strength; I don't want to be a fragile girl anymore!

【Fan not spinning】: This kind of bar is doomed to close! …

Su Yu's newly built Yan Le Yuan and its surrounding area suddenly became a hotspot for internet celebrities. Both male and female influencers love to livestream there.

Su Yu doesn't object at all. They need traffic, and these people promote them for free, so they are, of course, very happy.

More influencers mean more controversies.

Su Yu occasionally receives reports from Yan Le Yuan in Shencheng, where a male influencer tried to scam the women‑only bar and was kicked out, then appealed to netizens and the police.

At first, some people did pay attention to such influencers. They weren't used to a bar being exclusive to women. They even found it unnecessary!

Isn't a bar just for picking up girls or fishing for rich sons‑in‑law? Without men, what do they do in the bar? Until that women‑only bar became a checkpoint for female influencers! The female influencers, following the privacy guidelines given by the staff, only filmed the permissible parts! That's how the bar became a pilgrimage spot! Getting drunk there isn't a problem; a sister with Max combat power will carry you to the lounge.

In this bar, wearing a camisole dress or ultra‑short shorts isn't a worry; everyone in each designated area dresses the same, so no one is an outlier! The bar only has a camera at the entrance; the play area is camera‑free, making it very safe. Those whose mental state is ahead of the world can vent freely in the bar! The girls gained the sense of security they wanted, and they raved about the bar online.

The bar became women's top choice for relaxation, packed from morning to night, and even opened branch locations to disperse the crowd.

The women's bar achieved excellent results, and Su Yu began promoting various women‑only establishments, including but not limited to beauty salons, barbershops, swimming pools, and so on.

These shops perfectly absorbed the labor force that moved into Yan Le Yuan! Yan Le Yuan in Shencheng has a promising future! …

"Xiao Yu sister, my game is now on the app store; have you finished the promotion over there?"

"Done!"

Su Yu sent out the CG that Liang Yan had someone produce, along with a download link for the game.

Netizens, seeing the game Su Yu introduced, clicked in with curious faces.

Some people just browsed and left, while others downloaded, found it quite fun after playing, and stayed.

Seeing the download numbers surge in large chunks, Liang Yan excitedly hugged Su Yu, "Ah— ah— ah— Xiao Yu sister, we're really awesome!"

Tang Can stepped out of his beloved laboratory, quickly reshared Su Yu's social media post, "Hey, I've advertised for you; I'll get back to work!"

Tang Can strode back to his laboratory with a reckless gait, and Liang Yan, thrilled, spun in place, repeatedly making gestures to vent the emotions in her heart!

"Check the microtransaction data; the growth is a bit slow. Haven't you set up many events?"

The gap between download numbers and revenue is too large!

"At first I didn't plan to have many pay‑to‑win events; that would scare players away. First, use the charisma of the three male protagonists to retain them, then 'hold hostage' their beloved male leads, and they'll naturally spend money on the ones they love!"

Liang Yan has studied this seriously; such games rely on emotions. As long as the game company doesn't sabotage itself, players accustomed to the male protagonists' companionship will maintain daily activity, and naturally the company will keep earning.

Therefore, before launch, she discussed with the planners and gave new players many benefits, allowing them to easily get into the game and enjoy a better experience!

Su Yu strongly agrees with Liang Yan's idea.

Liang Yan urged Su Yu to open the game and try it, to look for any issues.

After logging into the game, Su Yu gave Liang Yan a thumbs‑up! Every game has a tutorial, most of which are mandatory. But the game Liang Yan made is not like that.

Its tutorial offers three options: the first is to follow the guide throughout, the second lets the player explore on their own, and the third is a call‑out guide—if the player finds a section unclear, they can click a button in the game to replay the tutorial.

"Hehe!"

Liang Yan stared at Su Yu with sparkling eyes, eager for her upcoming gameplay experience.

Su Yu claimed the mail gift from the game's official service and began to Draw card.

Thanks for the votes, darlings~
