Desperate Counterattack

"That... handsome guy isn't planning to buy a ninety-square-meter small unit!" The young woman said calmly, though her heart was wildly excited.

Forty large units—this was no small commission for her.

"Heh~ A small unit costs more than four hundred thousand. How much could he possibly earn? Could he even afford a large unit?" the landlady sneered harshly.

The looks everyone gave her turned unpleasant.

What kind of person was this?

Why did she talk like that?

"Sorry, but this handsome gentleman can afford large units too. And he's not buying just one—he's buying forty. He'll also be paying in full!"

"And please leave. We do not welcome you here!"

The young woman said with a livid expression. Right now, she was fiercely protective of Ye Fan; after all, Ye Fan was her financial benefactor.

Boom.

The moment the young woman spoke, the entire place erupted.

"Holy crap, seriously? Forty large units? She has to be lying, right?"

"Did that girl only say that because she couldn't take this woman's attitude anymore? Is she just fooling herself?"

"Forty units? How much would that cost?"

The onlookers started clamoring, while the plump landlady burst into mocking laughter.

"Hahaha, this is killing me! Him, buying forty large units? Keep dreaming! Just a month ago, he was eating instant noodles in my rental every day and doing nothing all day. And today he can afford forty units? Even a nouveau riche couldn't buy forty units! Besides, China clearly stipulates one home per person now. Where would he—"

"Take the payment. I have other things to do."

Just as the plump landlady continued her mockery, Ye Fan cut in impatiently. He had not said a single word, yet she had been yapping nonstop.

"Certainly, this way please. We'll go to the VIP office!"

The young woman said brightly.

The other salespeople looked at her with envy and jealousy. Some of them simply refused to believe that this young man could afford forty large units.

"Hello, hello. I'm the sales department manager. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience caused!"

At that moment, a thin, bespectacled man in a suit hurried over. A badge with the word "Manager" hung from his chest.

Clearly, what had happened here had already drawn the manager's attention.

How could it not? Forty units—even if they were small units, they would make a fortune. When had they ever landed such a massive deal?

All the people present combined had purchased fewer than twenty units.

"Ah!"

Just as the manager was about to shake Ye Fan's hand, he suddenly realized that Ye Fan looked very familiar, like some big celebrity.

"Y-you're Ye Fan?"

"The owner of Future Technology Crystal Company?"

The manager recalled the news about Ye Fan spreading wildly across the internet lately. Ye Fan had, after all, become a somewhat well-known public figure.

But if he went to another city, probably very few people would recognize him.

"Ye Fan! The Ye Fan from Future Technology Crystal Company? Holy crap, I didn't recognize him! My god, I actually get to witness this. I have to post it online."

"Who's Ye Fan? Is he famous? Is he a celebrity? What company is that?"

"You don't know Ye Fan? Are you even from Nanshan City? Don't you know that Nanshan City has been all over the major news lately? Ye Fan developed a Mobile Phone System, so we're no longer subject to Android and IOS System sanctions and monopolies in China. And a few days ago, he developed other technologies too. Now, China's phones are one hundred percent independently developed by China!"

"He isn't a celebrity, but he's more famous and more impressive than one!"

The entire scene was in an uproar. The young people were incredibly excited, and even the young woman who had received Ye Fan earlier had green light practically shining from her eyes.

What did the name Ye Fan represent now?

It represented the Four Major Mobile Phone Groups. The Four Major Mobile Phone Groups had repeatedly declared that even if they went bankrupt, even if they collapsed, even if they were besieged and sanctioned, they would not allow Future Technology Company to be affected in the slightest.

With them around, Future Technology would never collapse!

One could imagine just how much influence the name Ye Fan carried.

Of course, that was all just popular exaggeration.

The commotion left the landlady at a loss. She stood there dumbfounded. She followed online news too, but she had never expected her tenant to be so capable.

Her face dark and twisted, she slipped away in disgrace, fleeing before anyone noticed her.

"Qin Jiang, I'll leave the rest to you. I'm heading out first." Unable to bear the burning stares around him, Ye Fan could only leave helplessly.

Although his reputation points kept rising among the crowd, the feeling of being watched like an animal in a zoo made him uncomfortable all over.

He was not an animal.

Online.

Sony Phone held another Press Conference. They were about to release a triple-camera phone whose photos were as good as those from a DSLR.

As soon as the news was released, countless people in the photography world cheered. A triple-camera phone was far cheaper than a DSLR.

Buying a phone like that would be worth it.

But most people who bought phones only used them for entertainment, chatting, communication, and so on. Few of them used cameras.

After all, everyone was clumsy with their hands and did not know how to take pictures. Who would be interested in a camera?

Therefore, Sony Phone's counterattack did not pose any threat to the Four Major Mobile Phone Groups.

However, online opinions of Warfire Hero began to split, becoming polarized and extreme.

"What's the difference between this game and PUBG?"

"Yeah, whether it's the guns or the modes, they're exactly the same. It doesn't feel special at all."

"I played two rounds. It's hard to play—more difficult than PUBG. But in terms of performance and smoothness, it's top-notch. Still, this kind of game isn't suitable for a girl like me."

"Imitation and plagiarism. Looks like that's the only trick we know. No matter how much better your imitation is, it's still an imitation. Is this all Future Technology Company can do?"

A large number of haters suddenly emerged online, constantly smearing Warfire Hero.

They attacked everything from its performance and maps to its guns and game modes.

That afternoon.

Bluehole Group released new news.

[The company under Bluehole, developer of PUBG, that held full responsibility for PUBG copyright matters filed a lawsuit against Future Technology Crystal Company in Federal Court, claiming that Warfire Hero, developed by Future Technology Company, infringed on its copyright. It requested that the court order Future Technology Company to cease the infringement and pay Bluehole Group $30 million in compensation for each infringing work.]

The moment the news came out, the internet instantly exploded.
