Zombie Hunter

"WHHAAAATTTTTT" that question marks sound suddenly sounded in the meeting room. Most participants shocked about how much price the pod has. One million dollars! That's enough to make a decent living for a lifetime unless you spend it extravagantly.


Jing An: "Bro, do you hear that? One million dollars"


Hua Shu: "As far as I know my hearing still working well, thank you. Of course, I hear that"


Jing An: "What will you do if you have it, bro?"


Hua Shu: "Hey, don't count your egg before the chicken lay it. If that pod really worth that much I probably sell it".


Mu Kui: "Wow, that's a rare event. Hardcore gamers like you will sell it"


Hua Shu: "I don't know if that pod compatible with other games bro"


Jan Cox: "Then why don't you ask for it?"


Hua Shu: " I already asking some question. I don't want to be center of attention. I'm afraid they will jealous of my handsome face"


Mu Kui: "If you don't want to ask then let me ask"


Mu Kui: "Mr. Wang, is that pod can be used for other games? Besides the games from your company?"


Tony Wang: "That's a good question. And the answer is, yes, it can be used for other games, not only for our games but if our game is so good, would you play other games?"


The participants nodded hearing this explanation. What he says is true, as long as the game still interesting, people will not change to other games unless the other game is more interesting than the current game. People will not leave the game their playing at unless they bored or attracted to a new game.


"Because we don't produce this pod in mass production, for each pod we will also provide an assistant to help the user, during usage of this pod. That's including replacement of the nutritional tubes, spare-part of the machine or upgrading the system. That's all well covered in sales prices"


Another participant asked the question again


"Mr. Wang, I just want to know if that pod was safe."


Some yea yea murmuring can be heard among the participant.


Tony Wang smile before answer this question


"This pod already tested in our space station for 2 months, of course, we don't connect the pod with VR helmet. We just test its capability for life support. We just put a man to sleep inside the pod for two months and when the testing period over, that man didn't show any significant decrease on his health". 


Jing An: "Bro A Shu, how much electrical power needed to make that pod working?"


Hua Shu: "Ask him! That's a good question buddy. I don't want to be choked by electric bills if that pod need much electric power. Go on, ask him.


With encouragement from Hua Shu, Jing An raise his hand to ask a question


"Mr. Wang, how much electrical power needed to make that pod working?"


"Ah, another good question. Very good, I tell you that this pod didn't need your electricity from power plant because it has its own batteries to support its power need. Those batteries also our latest invention for energy sources. Your cellphone batteries, how long it last? 2 days? 3 days? Our pod has 6 batteries and each battery have the power to support the pod for 2 months. That's mean one pod with full batteries power can last for one year. It also can be connected with power sources to recharges. Isn't that good?"


This time woah woah sound come among the participants. They surprised with that pod ability.


Tony Wang still answering the questions for one hour later until no one asks the question anymore. Seeing no one raise any question, Xia Lan take over the speech


"Well, ladies and gentlemen. You have heard the technical explanation from Mr. Wang about our pod. And this pod will be a reward for those who reach top ten ranks in our testing. Isn't that exciting?"


"YEAAAHHHH!!!" … a loud agreement sound came from the participants.


Awesome Pod
