Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

Press conference scene.

At the edge of the speaking stage, another beam of light shone, and a beautiful young woman stepped onto the stage.

It was Tang Zichen.

For some in the venue, as well as those behind the cameras and screens, her appearance was a shock.

Smuggling tycoon!

Underworld leader!

She had joined Minglun!

Had she gone legit?

No!

They saw something deeper: that Minglun was truly very powerful.

Tang Zichen gave a slight smile. She wasn't holding a microphone, nor was she wearing an earpiece, yet her voice spread throughout the entire venue, as if resounding right by their ears.

This startled the audience even more.

If it wasn't some special technology, then this woman before them was also a mind master!

"Folks, my name is Tang Zichen."

"In this press conference, as the host, I will first introduce these three individuals."

Carrying a smile that felt like a soothing spring breeze, it was as if wandering in a clear spring, and joy spontaneously blossomed from within, uncontrollable.

Some guessed that it was Tang Zichen's strong mental cultivation influencing their emotions, akin to hypnosis.

Some felt this effect was marvelous, conducive to maintaining mental and physical health.

Yet others felt this method bordered on sorcery, capable of robbing people of their self-judgment and necessitated utmost caution towards Minglun.

In truth, Tang Zichen had only slightly influenced the audience's mood. Otherwise, those prone to conspiracy theories—the latter type—would not exist.

"Firstly, this gentleman with the long eyebrows on either side of his forehead, called Longmey, but he's also known by a more unrestrained name, GOD."

God?

Many in the audience, hearing this name for the first time, felt a surge of astonishment.

He dares to use this name!

This isn't just unrestrained.

It's outright unbridled!

However, seeing GOD's young yet vibrant expression, the audience felt something different stirring within.

The name GOD really suited him!

"Next, is this lady, Chan Yinsha. Surely, many have heard of her fame as the top coach of Minglun Martial Arts, and also that the hit games Supreme Martial Arts and Elite were created from her ideas."

These two extremely popular games, widely known among the media and the wealthy, had also become infamous due to the downfall of Goose Factory as a result of them.

"Lastly, Sun Shisheng, the head of Minglun Martial Arts and the leader of the entire Minglun enterprise."

When introducing Sun Shisheng, Tang Zichen didn't elaborate much, just objectively stated a fact, and then continued, "Next, we at Minglun will be launching three products, three concepts."

"Please welcome Mr. GOD to make the first speech!"

Tang Zichen clapped her hands, and the audience followed suit, eager to see if this GOD truly had substance.

GOD took a step forward, his gaze indifferent, and began slowly, "In the past, I scorned the idea of standing on this stage, because in my eyes, you were all monkeys."

At his words, a wave of anger rose in everyone's hearts.

But facing GOD's expressionless gaze, a sense of desolation emerged within them all.

Faced with the disparity in vitality, merely looking at him filled them with awe, daring not to utter a word.

That aura wasn't something ordinary people could resist.

However, GOD's presence lasted only three minutes before it faded, and he said, "Later, I realized I was wrong. After all, someone like me evolved from a monkey, too, didn't I?"

"So, you can evolve as well."

This arrogant declaration stirred the audience's anticipation.

What was this GOD planning to say?

"And the first product that Minglun Technology Co., Ltd. is releasing is a smartphone."

The whole place went silent.

Many were even speechless.

You're launching a smartphone and calling them monkeys?

Is there a connection?

That leap seems a bit too great.

Fortunately, everyone was not here just for the press conference but to meet Sun Shisheng. If they could get a chance to talk to him later, that would be wonderful.

Then, GOD clapped his hands and a staffer below immediately brought up a smartphone.

However, this phone was different from Nokia or Xiaolingxian currently on the market; it looked like a black slab and had no numeric buttons whatsoever.

"This is a modern, integrated smart phone!"

GOD pointed the screen at the audience and pressed a small button on the right side, lighting up the screen, and the venue's large screen behind the stage displayed this smartphone's screen as well.

It was a dynamic background picture of stars and the sea. Above it were twelve rounded square icons, and below, there were four more.

GOD first opened the icon at the bottom with a phone symbol, and a row of numeric keys appeared.

The audience realized that this feature was for making calls.

But the numeric keys...

Had Minglun's technology advanced this far?

GOD, without any change in his demeanor, slowly said, "For most of you, what is the purpose of a phone?"

"Making phone calls, sending text messages, listening to music, playing games similar to Tetris from Russia."

"Those were basically the four functions," he said.

"However, with the development of the internet and digitization, just these functions could never satisfy our needs for information transfer," she said.

"Therefore, we now have this multifunctional, integrated smartphone!" he exclaimed.

"Aside from the four functions I mentioned, the greatest convenience of this phone is its ability to access the internet and connect to the network," she added.

GOD tapped on the icon with a blue spiral symbol below, and instantly, a search browser named "Bai Ge" appeared on the big screen.

He entered the word "Minglun."

Suddenly, a plethora of entries about Minglun Martial Arts School, Minglun Biopharmaceutical Company, and Minglun Game Company displayed on the screen.

Now, everyone couldn't stay in their seats.

A smartphone!

It was a miniature computer!

Perhaps some tasks could still only be performed on a computer, but clearly, this smartphone had opened everyone's eyes.

Who knew a phone could do all this!

Next, GOD tapped on the icon with the words "Minglun Video" on the screen, and immediately, a plethora of movies became available with just one click.

Minglun had purchased the rights to various movies, TV shows, and anime.

After that, GOD tapped on two game icons, Fantasy Realm: Supreme Martial Arts and Fantasy Realm: Elite.

And the graphics were just as clear as on a computer!

Could one really play such excellent online games on a smartphone?

That was outrageous!

What level of technology had Minglun reached?

Actually, much of this was thanks to GOD.

With so many resources overseas, he could develop such smartphones in a very short time if he focused on this area.

Beyond that, what amazed the crowd the most was that the Minglun brand smartphone came with its own chat app: Ming Yan.

Ming Lun's etiquette, knowing one's words.

This chat software allowed one to send messages to friends anytime, anywhere, without any SMS charges as long as there was a network signal.

And the network fee was only ten yuan a month.

This was incredibly cheap. PublicationcourtesyofM|V|LE-MPYR.

"In addition to chatting, Ming Yan also has other functions, like digital payments," GOD continued.

"With the evolution of the era, physical currency will eventually be phased out and transformed into a more convenient form—digital currency," he said.

"Just like some people keep their money in banks and choose to use their cards for large purchases."

"Ming Yan can do that as well," she said.

Under the watchful gaze of the audience, GOD had someone bring up a QR code, opened the 'Scan to Pay' function of Ming Yan, bringing up a payment interface. He entered an amount, then a password, and finally, a payment success screen appeared.

"In Minglun's industry, we have implemented this digital payment system, eliminating the hassle of paper money."

"And after verifying one's identity, one can also link their own bank cards. We have partnerships with multiple banks worldwide; you can transfer money from your bank card to Ming Yan, and vice versa."

The crowd was amazed.

With this smartphone, one could forego the hassle of cameras, telephones, gaming consoles, memo pads, bank savings, and more; it truly was a multi-use device.

This was undoubtedly an epoch-making invention, one that could enable modern digital information to truly develop.

However, what everyone was most concerned about was the price!

Zhu Jia asked, "Please tell us, how much does such a phone cost?"

GOD replied calmly, "Not expensive, just five hundred yuan."

Five hundred!

That was incredibly cheap!

That's when Tang Zichen stood up and said, "Thank you, Mr. GOD, for your presentation. Minglun's first product is this smartphone, which also offers a new concept to the world, the concept of an integrated network with diverse information."

"It can be said that this smartphone was created based on this concept!"

Clap clap!

Clap clap clap!

Loud applause broke out, and everyone was almost genuinely thrilled.

Then, GOD returned to his original seat, and Chan Yinsha went up to the stage. The crowd managed to calm their excitement, eager to see what Chan Yinsha would introduce.

Perhaps it was a product related to martial arts training.

At this thought, the interest of quite a few people waned.

Although practicing martial arts can strengthen oneself, not everyone can persist; after all, the minds of ordinary people are like the tide, undulating and never still for a moment.

Practicing martial arts was the trend.

But perhaps, many could only go with the flow.

What surprised everyone, however, was that Chan Yinsha wasn't talking about practicing martial arts—instead, she discussed the Fantasy Realm gaming series: Supreme Martial Arts and Elite.

Beyond updates to the versions, most importantly, she introduced a concept that had previously only appeared in science fiction themes—

Virtual reality technology!

In addition to an integrated network with diverse information, Minglun had virtual reality technology too?

This was utterly inconceivable!

Just how many steps ahead of the world was Minglun?!
