Ten Thousand Families Military Exhibition

The Wan Family Military Exhibition.

An exhibition spearheaded by the Rabbit, Shadiao, and others.

It is the most formal, highest-spec, and lowest-profile exhibition…

It's formal because you need a Family affiliation to enter.

No matter how strong or large a personal enterprise is, without the backing of a Family, they cannot enter as exhibitors.

Highest spec, it's simple, just look at the exhibition's name and the list of organizers – which exhibition dares to challenge this?

As for being low-profile, it's unavoidable. After all, compared to military industry, aren't anime conventions more appealing? Aren't adult exhibitions more exciting?

Therefore, every time it's held, besides military enthusiasts and people from related industries, basically no one else pays attention or participates.

However, this exhibition is very crucial for the Families.

Because the main purpose of the exhibition is to indirectly compare the military strength of each Family, and the secondary purpose is to sell goods.

So, the Wan Family Military Exhibition always has a theme, and the theme is announced by drawing lots one month before the exhibition opens.

And this exhibition's theme is individual soldiers.

Speaking of individual soldiers, as a Rabbit aiming to become a leading Family, exoskeleton technology, the most advanced concept for individual soldier weapons on the market, must be showcased.

However, unlike before, this time the military exhibition, the Rabbit intends to go through the motions.

Before, there was no choice; even if they didn't have it, they had to pretend they did.

First, they'd brag about keeping up with the trend, then silently work hard to achieve what they bragged about.

But now…

Their own Family has already started mass-producing the Qiongqi Series Exoskeleton Armor. By the time other Families announce a mature product, they'll probably be able to field several exoskeleton armor armies.

Is there still a need for promotion?

Elder Zhou, upon hearing this news, immediately contacted Gao Linlin to relay a message: This military exhibition offers a lot of opportunities to make money!

Wasting resources is shameful!

When the higher-ups heard about the potential for profit, they immediately understood Elder Zhou's meaning: Find Guo Yi and go make some money!

That's why Elder Zhou sought out Guo Yi to discuss redesigning an exoskeleton armor that would be different from the Qiongqi Series.

As for the Qiongqi Series Exoskeleton Armor.

What Guo Yi provided was the most basic version, equipped only with a Giant Blade and a High-Energy Electromagnetic Rifle.

Subsequently, the Family developed several other versions.

Each version was designed to alleviate the Rabbit Family's "fear of insufficient firepower."

Various Gatling guns, various small artillery shells, various special warheads, they even attached a small pistol to the crotch…

Are they selling these to show they have too much firepower?

Or to make other Families envious of them?

Low-profile, harmonious, friendly, we are pure, flawless, harmless Rabbits!

Therefore, the Qiongqi Series Exoskeleton Armor is out of the question.

Even a heavily nerfed version absolutely cannot be sold, nor can it be promoted!

"What are the requirements?"

Guo Yi reluctantly brought up his own body projection, preparing to redesign according to the requirements.

"Cheap, durable, versatile, requires special batteries, uncrackable… In summary, it needs to look high-tech, be widely applicable, and sell for a good price."

Guo Yi pondered for a moment, then decided: "Multi-functional Engineering Exoskeleton Armor!"

"..."

Time passed quickly, and another month went by.

The nationwide gossip activity caused by the entertainment industry gradually died down as time went on, with no more juicy gossip to be found.

Then, the gossip-mongers became bored.

Yes, bored.

Before, they could occasionally see trending topics like "XXX Star XXX."

Now, all of that was gone.

What remained were basically true artists, or those on the path to becoming artists.

These people had one thing in common: they had no interest in hype or controversy, and only focused on their work in their respective fields.

Unless they had a particularly satisfying piece of work, they would only come out to promote it lightly, and that would be it…

Therefore, the only thing to gossip about recently was the military exhibition.

An exhibition that was originally not noticed by the public, by chance, suddenly received nationwide attention…

And for certain reasons, the Family decided to broadcast this military exhibition live in its entirety.

So, when the military exhibition officially opened and the participants entered, many bored onlookers crowded the live broadcast online.

"Hey, hey, hey, something's not right this time?

Why is Minister Kang Jie leading the team?"

An old spectator of the military exhibition said in surprise after the Rabbit family's team entered.

"Yeah, usually it's the leaders of the Northern Heavy Industry Alliance, Cheng Xiaolong, and the Southern Industrial Alliance, Wang Kairui, who lead the teams.

Why is it the old Minister Kang Jie, the head of the country's industrial affairs, leading the team this time?"

???

Some new spectators didn't recognize anyone, so they remained silent for the time being.

After all, the spectators didn't dare to chat freely about these exhibitors.

Who knew what their identities were...

Only the old spectators of the military exhibition were chatting enthusiastically.

Of course, the new spectators wouldn't be lonely and actively wanted to chat with the old spectators.

"Speaking of which, which celebrities will be invited to the opening ceremony of this exhibition?"

"Yeah, yeah, this time there was a big cleanup in the entertainment industry, and the music circle was cleaned up the least. I like XXX the most, and his voice and songs fit the military atmosphere."

"You above, stop dreaming.

The military exhibition is different from other exhibitions, it's not that flashy!"

Yes, not that flashy.

After all the exhibitors entered, they saw people from the Dog Tycoon directly taking the stage.

"As expected, the Dog Tycoon is the Dog Tycoon, always the first at every military exhibition!"

"What do you mean?"

"The opening ceremony of the military exhibition is product speeches, there are no opening performances, it's simple and clear.

There are ten speeches in total, and several major families are fixed in the last five positions to speak about their exhibition products.

The first five are usually drawn by lot or subscription.

The Dog Tycoon doesn't lack money, so they always subscribe to the first speaking slot.

No, it shouldn't be a speech, but the first person to speak on stage, only saying one sentence..."

The old spectator was explaining to the newcomers, and on the exhibition stage, the Dog Tycoon's speech began: "This time, for the individual soldier series weapons, we need to purchase 100 billion Shadiao Coins worth of goods."

After saying this sentence, the Dog Tycoon's people swaggered off the stage.

"This..."

The newcomers finally understood why the old spectators were so speechless after seeing the Dog Tycoon take the stage.

Others' speeches were basically about the corresponding military exhibition products.

Only their family always talked about how much money they would spend at this exhibition...

And yet, they always subscribed to the first speaking slot. Having money really makes you willful!

Therefore, the military exhibitions are held in rotation by several major families.

With the Dog Tycoon's subscription, it will never lose money every time it is held.

Of course, they don't make much profit either.

After all, they don't sell tickets, and these major families don't lack this little bit of money.

As time passed, the first eight families had finished their speeches.

They were all similar.

Except for the sponsor, the Dog Tycoon, the other seven families gave speeches on the design concepts of their exoskeletons.

The difference was that some families paired their presentations with demonstrations of experimental products, while others simply presented PPT documents.

Overall, all of their exoskeletons were exceptionally futuristic.

They took into account attributes such as attack power, defense, and mobility.

The goal was consistent: high-end individual weapons!

"Finally, it's our turn!"

An old man couldn't help but sigh when he saw Kang Jie take the stage: "Alas, I hope it's not too far behind..."

"Please explain, please explain!"

Seeing the old man's sigh, the newcomers instantly sobered up: there was gossip to be had.

"Alas, in summary, our family's performance at every military exhibition is: not as good as the best, but better than the worst."

"There's no way, we are still a developing family..."

"I still remember the first few sessions, we were using modified versions from other families."

"Although the attribute gap isn't huge, it's still a modified version..."

"This is tough~ Come on, Rabbit!"

Kang Jie seemed to hear the cheers of the onlookers in the livestream.

He stood on the stage, full of spirit and momentum: "Everyone, this time the Rabbit's product..."

Kang Jie paused here, then raised his hand towards the stage entrance: "Please look!"
