The appearance of Young Master Cao kept the public in an uproar for over a month.
After the Spring Festival, when people returned to work, there were still discussions about Young Master Cao's appearance during the Spring Festival Gala.
This shows...
How popular Young Master Cao is.
Mainly because there are too many topics to discuss about him.
Not to mention the male and female celebrities he personally discovered, such as the Twelve Beauties, who are like his own daughters, cultivated and promoted by him. They were once extremely popular across Asia.
Their current popularity is still not low.
There are also the Two Western Beauties.
Re Ba and Na Zha.
The Two Wonders of the New Generation.
Little Zifeng and Little Jinmai.
Little Hanyun, Mao Xiaotong, and so on...
These are all well - known female celebrities with a large number of fans. Especially the Two Western Beauties, who are currently at the top of the list in terms of looks.
Even though some people can't appreciate Re Ba's angular face and think that such women age quickly.
However...
It cannot be denied that when this girl first debuted a few years ago, with just one work, she immediately became a top - tier celebrity.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to get tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of views just by posting a short selfie video.
Other celebrities have also posted short videos, but they didn't even get half of her views.
This is popularity.
Of course, let's not talk about these for now.
Just talking about the game field, one can't avoid Young Master Cao.
He developed the game "Great Martial Arts".
Over the years, "Great Martial Arts" has become the number one martial arts game in the meta - universe, and there are countless "heroes" cultivated in it.
Of course.
There are also villains.
After all, heroes often break the law with their martial arts skills.
Some people who have gained physical improvements and enhanced strength from the game do become arrogant.
When they return to the real world, they think they are really something.
This has led to many injury incidents.
Such incidents are inevitable.
At first, some people proposed to intervene, control, or even ban games like "Great Martial Arts".
But later, these suggestions came to nothing.
The people who made these suggestions also disappeared from the limelight.
...
There are also aspects related to medical care.
In short.
In many detailed aspects of society, Young Master Cao's influence can be felt.
However, he has become more mysterious and low - key than before.
Although he usually slacks off and acts like a layabout, his long - term absence from the public eye naturally brings out an air of mystery.
This time was no exception.
He showed up during the Spring Festival.
Many people speculated that Cao Cheng was like a weasel paying a New Year call to a chicken, with some hidden motives.
As a result, a month or two after the Spring Festival, Young Master Cao seemed to disappear again.
But,
This time, he didn't disappear for long.
After only three months, Cao Cheng appeared in the public eye again.
This time, it was at a game press conference.
The game helmet had entered its fourth generation, the Plus version!
That is, at the press conference of the Game Helmet 4, Cao Cheng made an appearance again.
There is almost an update every year.
This is similar to mobile phones.
But it's also completely different.
It's not that the previous game helmets need to be discarded every year. Instead, it's an upgrade of the software.
The game helmet is like a platform, with various chips and software... all of which can be remotely upgraded.
It's not to say that the helmet can be used forever. It's just that it's currently sufficient, so there's no need to replace the hardware.
One just needs to upgrade the software once a year.
...
This was the case for at least the first three generations.
People buy a helmet and pay 99 yuan every year for a major upgrade of the game helmet.
This money has to be paid because the company's employees need to go door - to - door to help with the upgrade.
This requires labor costs.
So,
Most of this 99 yuan is earned by the employees, and the company doesn't make a single cent.
It's basically just a hard - work fee.
Naturally, no one says that Young Master Cao's company is greedy.
Now, for the fourth generation.
The equipment needs to be replaced.
So,
Young Master Cao appeared at the scene again.
A brand - new helmet was unveiled.
There are six colors.
There is also an upgraded game pod.
The price has increased by about 30% compared to the previous one.
But it supports trade - in.
That is to say.
People who currently have a helmet can take it to the official website to apply for a brand - new helmet and directly exchange it.
They just need to make up the price difference, which is between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan.
There are no scalpers either.
Moreover, with the current production capacity of the game manufacturer, people won't have to wait long, and the profit margin for scalpers has already been squeezed.
...
Throughout the press conference, the differences between the new helmet and the previous ones were discussed.
There were many small - scale changes.
There were improvements and upgrades in many places.
Some special materials were also replaced. It fits the head better, is lighter, and is much more friendly to people with neck and lumbar problems.
The biggest upgrade, of course, is the force feedback.
It has all been improved.
It has increased by 50% compared to before. That is, it was 5% before, and now it's 7.5%.
Of course.
This may not seem like much, but in fact, it has really excited the fans.
...
After the press conference.
A group of reporters, including official ones, managed to corner Young Master Cao.
They conducted a simple interview with him.
It was mainly about the game helmet.
After discussing the serious stuff, they started asking Young Master Cao what he had been up to in the past few years. The fans were very concerned about Young Master Cao's life.
At this point.
Cao Cheng smiled and said, "Indeed, I've been conducting a more mysterious research in the past two years. Of course, since this thing is in a top - secret state and is too advanced to be shown, I won't say much about it. I'll just say one thing. I think this thing is the greatest invention of the 21st century. It can fulfill our human race's ultimate longing for the universe and the vast expanse of stars."
"I believe..."
"Before long, traveling to the moon and traveling to Mars will no longer be a far - fetched dream.
It will become within reach, and it won't cost too much. It will no longer be a privilege for the rich. Maybe it will only cost an ordinary white - collar worker two or three months' salary.
"Perhaps it's not exactly cheap, but being able to complete an extraterrestrial adventure with two or three months' salary, I think it's a very cost - effective experience."
Cao Cheng showed great confidence and a hint of excitement, and said, "Everyone, just wait and see."
...
The scene changes.
On the computers of some think - tanks abroad, the conversation between Cao Cheng and the reporters during the interview is being played.
It has been translated into English.
They play it on a loop.
On the screen, Cao Cheng keeps repeating these words.
About the ultimate longing for the universe.
About extraterrestrial exploration and tourism.
About an ordinary white - collar worker's two or three months' salary...
About being too advanced to be shown!
A director of the security agency scanned the room and said, "Gentlemen, I know many of you have cooperated with Miracle Group.
"I also know that you have privately joined the Immortality Club.
"Many of you also have good relations with the people in the Eastern Region.
"But I want to say, gentlemen, ladies... don't be deceived by the immediate benefits. Don't think that different skin colors can really blend together. Wake up."
"..."

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
