<h4>Chapter 758: Peni City is now Open!</h4>

The rolling waves mmed onto the side of the ship. The water freely sshed on the bow. The crew members were wearing raincoats and holding cameras in front of them, while the reporters were moving further forward, holding the railing with one hand and holding the microphone with the other to provide the viewers with first-hand information.
“Now, behind us is the fabled Peni City. You may not be able to see it because we are about fifteen nautical miles from the nearest port! Look at that ck spot, now we can see the top of the Central of Peni City. Celestial Trade temporarily blocked this area and the blockade will be lifted at noon. Then our reporter will bring you further reports...”
The face was blown red but there was no temperature at all. After finishing thest word, Lu Hao wiped off the water from her face. Her legs were weak, and she walked down with the help of crew members.
Returning to the cabin, Li Hanliang, the old leader of the interview group, came over and handed her a bottle of water.
“Must be tough out there.”
“Not at all!” Lu Hao chugged half a bottle before finally recovered some of her spirit, and a rosy glow finally returned to her naive face. “Leader, did Celestial Trade ept our application?”
Li Hanliang shook his head, sighed, and sat in the chair next to her.
“It’s difficult to do this. Regardless of what I say they just won’t agree. But the other TV stations are the same. They aren’t favoring anyone, even their own station is outside the closed area.”
Hearing this, Lu Hao looked at him peculiarly.
It was not an interview at all, it was more like a race! The ship next to them was a BBC reporter. The ship further away was from Colombian TV. Future Group was certainly prestigious to have so many media stations rent boats and wait for them on the open sea.
Time flew quickly. It didn’t take long before it was noon, and Celestial Trade gave them the green light.
The news of the blockade being lifted was received by the media. The cruise ships and small boats around Peni City began to march toward the city known as the miracle.
From the helicopter, the scene of countless dragging white wavesing from all directions to Peni, was a magnificent painting! ording to statistics from the Tourism Bureau, the number of people who applied tond on the ind reached 127,000, and the total number of vessels in the target sea area exceeded 9,000!
On the other hand, a luxury medium-sized cruise ship gradually started moving, carrying passengers visiting Peni City.
The weather on the sea had changed very quickly. Two hours ago it was raining and now the sun was out, the deck turned burning hot just after a short while. Wearing a casual outfit, Wei Wendong stood on the bow of the cruise ship as he looked at the direction of Peni City with a smile.
Peni, the wonder he had seen in the virtual world...
As for what the city would look like in the real world, he was full of imaginations.
In the days after New Year, the A2 season of the Godly Land ended, and Kings won the first prize in individualpetition and fifth in teampition! The title of the championship naturally belonged to him. In order to celebrate his victory, the sponsors directly packaged him a red envelope of 20 million RMB.
Was it a lot? In fact, it was not too much.
Godly Land had thergest yer base in the world. Due to the poprity of virtual reality online games and the subsequent effects, many people who never yed the game also put on their helmet and applied for visitor passes to watch his live stream in action.
ording to the official data given by Future Technology, not counting the ratings broadcasted by television stations, the peak number of live audiences in the arena exceeded 290 million! Additionally, counting the stats of the rebroadcast, the number of views at least doubled!
What is the concept of 290 million?
The NBA’s peak audience was just over 20 million. Individuals who made out of the group stage in the individual and teampetitions were allowed to affix the trademark of the sponsoringpany behind their names. To be able to put thepany’s brand in such a high-traffic location and appear in front of hundreds of millions of people from around the world, themercial value was immense.
Wei Wendong did not know how much the sponsor gave to their club afterwards. He only knew that the number would not be less than 500 million RMB.
After the match, the Kings directly chartered a luxury cruise ship and took the core members of the club for an offline party! The destination of the offline party was exactly Peni City.
Wei Wendong clicked on the Future phone rolled up on his wrist. A palm-sized holographic screen immediately expanded above his wrist. Taking a picture of Peni City from afar, he looked at the city in the screen and let his hair fly in the sea breeze. He couldn’t feel more proud.
Last year, he bought two properties in Peni City, a restricted level two unit, and an unrestricted level four unit. At the time, he felt pained to purchase the properties as the two houses directly halved his saving. But now his only regret was not spending the other half.
With thepletion of Peni City, the rumor immediately faded. In less than a month, the price of the two houses under his name doubled and was on the trajectory to double again.
Soon, the cruise ship docked in the harbor of Peni City.
On all four sides of the ring-shaped artificial ind, there were thousands of ports,rge and small, private and public, boathouses could be freely essed. Although the scene of over 9,000 boats was spectacr, it didn’t crowd thending.
Just like in the advertisement, the entire city felt like a science fiction movie with technology at the forefront of the era. Billboards, shop signs, and the big screen on top of the mall all used holographic technology produced by Future Group.
Putting on AR sses received from customs, and the cute navigation Little Rain reappeared beside his hand and yfully flew around him. Little Rain stopped in front of him, responded to his request, and took him to the property he had purchased.
While walking, Little Rain replied to his questions and introduced him to Peni City.
Such realistic augmented reality technology made it even harder for him to distinguish whether it was real or fake.
Along the street, shops were open. The staffs of shopping malls, restaurants, and service industries received permission to enter in advance; they had already boarded the ind as early as yesterday and set up the stores so that they could open their doors on the first day of the city’s grand opening.
There were few vehicles on the streets, and most people walked. However, the traffic nning of Peni City was carefully thought out. The twelve maglev train railsid in the basement allowed visitors to reach anywhere in the city in ten minutes.
In addition, at the beginning of the construction of the city’s roads, maglev tracks were built under the road. After the breakthrough in the technology of maic levitation vehicles of the future, the city’s traffic movement would shift from ground to three-dimensional…
Wei Wendong thought of this and he was even more hopefully.
His life would not be boring to be in a city filled with so many cutting-edge technologies...
