Everything in the world follows a set of rules. Humans discover these rules and utilize them, thus forming science!
Therefore, compared to other forms of life, humanity's greatest reliance is their intelligence.
When it comes to intelligence, a group is always greater than an individual. Individuals may occasionally have a flash of insight, leading to the discovery or invention of a groundbreaking product, but to be perfectly utilized and form an ecosystem, it still requires the assistance of a group.
Individual intelligence is ultimately limited, while human intelligence is infinite.
This is a sentence Li Yue heard in his previous life. He had forgotten who said it, but it was forever etched in his heart.
In his previous life, his life was short. Although he was considered successful, he was diagnosed with advanced cancer at a young age, which left him disheartened and depressed.
Now he has been reborn into a new world, a world of superpowers, magic, and high martial arts. Therefore, his greatest reliance, besides the system, is his knowledge and wisdom from the other world.
Things that have been discovered or are yet to be discovered, all possible or impossible fantasies, hold infinite value in this Marvel world.
For example, Max's ability derivation—the Railgun—was inspired by an anime concept from Li Yue's previous life.
Moreover, this concept is feasible in this world, and Max's practice has indeed proven this point.
Of course, these concepts must also follow reality; not all fantasy concepts are feasible.
"Science is always far more practical than fantasy!"
The Railgun is just one aspect; it's not the main focus in Li Yue's mind. It's great if it succeeds, but it's not a big deal if it doesn't.
Of course, the facts prove he was right. Max succeeded, which can also be considered Li Yue's success. After all, Max had long since been subdued by Li Yue and is now his subordinate.
Naturally, he was happy that his subordinate's abilities were enhanced.
"As long as Max can freely master this ability, I can be considered to have a firm footing in this world, and I won't have to worry about those strange superhumans or mutants!"
"The 'Myth' press conference is in three days. Lawrence will introduce it on my behalf. I'm sure there will be many interested parties then, and I'm afraid Max will need to show up to deter those guys!"
Whether it's other corporations or teams, or the military, or hidden organizations, they are everywhere in this world, and none of them are easy to deal with.
Of course, neither is Li Yue. He never considered himself a good person, so he wasn't afraid or intimidated. However, Noah Company is the foundation of his future plans, and he had to care about it.
Since arriving in this world, Li Yue understood that he would never become a superhero because to steal the world's origin, the possibility of becoming a supervillain was extremely high.
Then naturally, he needed some planning. When he clashes with those superheroes, he won't be afraid of having no backup plan.
"Once 'Myth' is released and Noah Company has a firm foothold in this world, let's start the 'Ark' project!"
With a flicker in his eyes, Li Yue sat at his desk, looking at the clouds rolling outside the floor-to-ceiling window, his gaze momentarily chilling.
Sitting there, he gradually fell into deep thought.
...
Three days later!
The press conference for the virtual game "Myth" officially commenced, held in the ground floor lobby of the Noah Company building.
It had already been set up with a raised platform and rows of tables and chairs.
Looking around, it was a bit dim indoors. At the entrance of the lobby, a red banner was hung, displaying the English words 'Era-Defining Launch'. Balloons of various colors were hung on the surrounding walls, vibrant and colorful.
In the front was a raised platform,
behind which was a huge display screen, covered by a curtain. Many spotlights were hung on the platform, ensuring sufficient lighting on the stage.
Time passed little by little. At 1 PM, the press conference was still half an hour away.
At this moment, the ground floor lobby was already filled with people. Reporters, carrying cameras and equipment, squeezed in, and people in suits and ties took their seats in order.
The lobby suddenly became lively.
This press conference had been planned for several months, and everything was arranged very reasonably. The people who came here were either CEOs of large corporations or reporters from major media outlets. Similarly, the press conference would be broadcast live globally, ensuring that people all over the world who were looking forward to it would receive the latest information as soon as possible.
"Look, isn't that Google's vice president? I can't believe he actually came in person?" a young-looking reporter exclaimed, quickly picking up the camera hanging around his neck and starting to take pictures.
"Tsk, making a fuss. Kid, are you new? Don't you know that Google and Noah Company have reached a strategic cooperation and become business partners?" an experienced reporter next to him said with disdain.
"I know, but this is Google's vice president. Even if they've reached a cooperation, is it necessary for someone like him to personally attend the press conference?"
"Kid, look who's next to him? Haha, let alone the vice president, their CEO, Mr. Schmidt, has come in person."
The old reporter pursed his lips. Indeed, who else could that person near the vice president be but Google's current CEO, Schmidt?
"This?" The young reporter's face froze. The news and information he had at this moment were completely insufficient and didn't match his understanding.
"Do you know? Although Google is powerful, Noah Company is launching a virtual game this time, which represents a new platform, an era-defining platform!" The old reporter's face was full of anticipation. "Think about it, in the future, as long as you wear a helmet or lie in a virtual pod, you can freely go shopping, freely browse the scenery around the world, freely enjoy movies and music that are almost real, and friends in your social circle will instantly appear in front of you with just an @..."
"That scene, do you know what it represents? This is an emerging industry chain. Even Google, Microsoft, Stark Industries... have to bow their heads and cooperate with Noah Company!"
"So, let alone Google's CEO coming in person, even Stark's chairman, our superhero Iron Man, would probably have come in person if he didn't have a temporary matter!"
...
Time flowed like water, and everything was ready.
Soon, it was 1:30 PM, and the press conference officially began.
At this moment, all the cameras and video recorders were aimed at the press conference stage at the same time.
Behind the curtain of the stage, Vice President Lawrence Carmanda took a deep breath, his hands tightly clenched, constantly cheering himself on.
At this moment, he was undoubtedly extremely nervous. The chairman had entrusted him with the press conference, making him face reporters from all over the world and the heads of various large enterprises. Undoubtedly, this made even the usually steady him a little unable to control himself.
After all, he was no longer young. Compared to those impulsive young people, he, who was well aware of the vastness of the world, understood the 'depth' of this world even better.
Therefore, that sense of nervousness naturally came over him.
Time is up!
Lawrence took a deep breath, then lifted his steps and walked onto the stage little by little.
The next moment, countless flashes lit up, almost turning the somewhat dim lobby into daylight.
Lawrence's expression remained unchanged, and he looked at the important figures and reporters from all over the world below with a reserved smile.
"Hello everyone, and welcome to Noah Technology Group. Because our chairman, Mr. Li Yue, has a temporary matter, I will personally introduce this press conference to everyone!"
Below the stage, many people were stunned, and then a sudden uproar erupted.
"What's going on? So many of us have come in person, and the chairman of this Noah Group is too arrogant, isn't he? He only sent a vice president?"
"A vice president, is he looking down on us?"
"What does that 'Li Yue' mean? He doesn't show up himself for such an occasion and just lets some guy come up. Is he trying to brush us off?"
"I heard that guy graduated from Columbia University and is a 'top student'?"
...
Below the stage, many people were being disrespectful, and the uproar continued.
Even the presidents and vice presidents of some large companies frowned slightly, but they didn't speak, just sat there silently.
At this moment, even though Lawrence had expected it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, and the reserved smile on his face had become slightly awkward.
Fortunately, the global live broadcast had not yet started, and the cameras were still being adjusted. The photographers naturally knew what to do when they saw such a scene. They secretly waved their hands and turned off the cameras.
Such a scene could not be broadcast live. After all, the people here were too important. Let alone themselves, even their parent company - the news group - could not afford to offend this group of people.
"Chairman, it's not that I don't want to complete your task, but these guys are all important figures, and I simply can't handle them!"
Just as Lawrence was smiling bitterly in his heart, a loud voice suddenly came from the lobby, suppressing the voices of everyone present.
"What, is it not okay if I don't come in person?"
As this voice suddenly sounded, streaks of electric current exploded on the stage, the air twisted, and a man in blue and black clothes appeared amidst the flowing electric light.
Then, from behind the curtain on the stage, Li Yue, dressed in a black suit, walked up with a calm expression.
"You've worked hard, Lawrence. I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I'm really sorry!"
Slightly bowing, Li Yue's face was full of guilt, and he felt in his heart whether he had put him in a difficult position this time, making him embarrassed for so long.
"It's okay, Chairman, it's just my personal reason!"
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Lawrence continued, "Since the Chairman is here, I'll go down first!"
"Alright!"
Li Yue nodded. Although he still had something to say to him, this occasion was clearly not suitable.
Watching Lawrence step down, Li Yue ignored the surprised looks of the people around him and directly nodded at Max, indicating that it was okay now.
Max's appearance was just to deter, a preemptive tactic.
Although there are many superhumans in this world, there are not many who appear so openly.
The people here are more or less important, but even so, they rarely see superhumans, let alone someone like Max who is clearly not to be trifled with.
"Everyone!"
Li Yue clapped his hands, diverting everyone's attention.
"Since you are not satisfied with our company's vice president being on stage, then I have no choice but to come in person!"
"However, your behavior this time has made me very unhappy. As people with status and quality, your actions have brought shame to yourselves and your companies!"
"Now I announce that from now on, Mr. Lawrence Carmanda will be the new president of Noah Group, and all daily affairs within the group will be handled by President Lawrence."
"Alright, that's it!"
This was not a decision he made in a fit of anger, but the result of long-term consideration. Everyone currently in Noah Group had undergone Li Yue's mind test, and their loyalty was unquestionable, especially Lawrence, who had worked diligently in Noah Group for more than ten years.
Li Yue did not want to be a person in the spotlight, so handing over some of his power was bound to happen sooner or later.
After finishing his speech, Li Yue ignored the discussions below, clapped his hands directly, and then said loudly into the microphone: "Now I announce that the 'Myth' press conference officially begins!"
The next moment, countless lights flashed, and the lights of countless cameras turned on, aiming at the stage.
