The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan! Chapter 387: Short on Money?

While others were still skeptical, he was completely convinced—Penson truly possessed this technology and was preparing to incorporate it into gaming to capture the market.

When Apex and other companies were boasting about their smart pets, Penson had already advanced into the gaming industry, catching them off guard with holographic technology.

Henry Hale was laughing internally; he should have anticipated this. How could Paige Sterling’s potential ever be exhausted? Even if all the technical staff left Penson, she could still support it on her own, and those who left posed no threat to her.

Because the level on which Paige Sterling stood was one they could never fathom.

Soon, the host invited the gaming experts to the stage for a trial.

Among the gaming experts, there was eager anticipation; if another company claid to have developed holographic technology, they might doubt it.

But if it was Penson, their skepticism was greatly diminished.

They eagerly went on stage, impatient to enter the ga.

The staff helped them put on helts and guided them into chairs.

The ga started quickly, and they began making all sorts of bewildering movents in their chairs.

The journalists were in the audience, and the gaming experts were on stage.

The holographic screen showcased each gar’s gaplay in small boxes, allowing the audience to clearly see the gaming activity. When paired with their real-life movents, it was easy to judge whether the ga was successful.

Without this screen, the audience might have thought the players in chairs looked like lunatics, while they were the spectators of the madness.

The venue was silent save for the clicking of the photographers’ caras, making the shouts of the players particularly prominent.

That jubilant laughter and the extre, terrified screams were simply...

Indescribable.

As the ga ended and the experts excitedly described their in-ga experiences, there were still so who refused to believe, especially the industry executives.

So they requested a trial, even though they might not even play gas.

The host agreed; unless they tried it themselves, how would they understand what a real-world impact ant?

Thus, the second batch of testers went on stage.

The atmosphere beca even more charged; the second batch of testers continued to shout and scream like mad dogs.

Finally, the faces of the few industry executives who tried the ga turned sowhat ashen.

Everything that happened today made them realize.

Penson’s market could not be captured by relying on a few technical staff who left Penson.

When the host asked them for their thoughts at that mont, their faces seed even paler.

"I shouldn’t have thought Penson would stop here; it’s narrow-minded of , not of President Sterling."

After speaking, they left the stage dimly.

The host, "..."

I was just asking for your thoughts on the ga, not for your opinion on President Sterling.

Our President Sterling already has a broad vision, do you really need to ntion it?

The press conference also stirred up heated discussion online.

Because it was live-stread.

Like most people on site, many netizens were skeptical at first.

But when batch after batch of testers went on stage and ca off with the sa expressions, netizens realized it must be true.

So before the Penson press conference ended, Penson’s website nearly crashed as countless people flooded in, eager to buy holographic helts in advance.

As the helts were priced during the conference, it was within the affordable range for many.

Especially for those who loved gaming; not buying a holographic helt felt unjust to their gaming life.

However, people refreshed the website ti and ti again, yet...

The website didn’t have the holographic helts, and all the other products were also out of stock.

Everyone was used to this situation, given Penson was always perpetually out of stock all month long.

But now even robots couldn’t be stocked, leading to an agonizing situation—especially with limited production numbers for holographic helts, it felt like intentional torture.

Quickly, Penson’s website issued an announcent stating that this ga was solely supported by Penson, but purchases should be made at the Chambers Group website.

Consequently, swarms of people flooded into the Chambers Group website.

If Paige Sterling hadn’t had the Chambers Group website updated in advance, it might’ve crashed under the pressure.

But the quantity was still small, with only a hundred units, which were sold out instantly.

Netizens scread online; with so many people nationwide, how could only a hundred units be produced? It’s inhumane!

Even though many hadn’t experienced the ga firsthand, a lot began offering high prices online for second-hand helts.

Of course, those few gaming experts who participated in the trials at the conference didn’t have to worry about obtaining helts.

All test gaming experts were given a helt by Penson.

If you couldn’t buy a helt, watching experts play was also an option, so when the gaming experts went live, their streaming audience surged.

And those hundred who first secured helts, despite not playing gas very well, also started streaming with their holographic helts, gaining visibility.

If one person says the helt is amazing, no one might believe it.

But when everyone who bought it says the sa, how could anyone not trust it?

Surely, not everyone has been bribed to lie?

Moreover, among them were wealthy individuals; do they need money?

So, in less than a day, the holographic technology swept globally, becoming a worldwide headline topic.

During this period, logging online was almost synonymous with seeing holography everywhere.

The arrival of holography changed not only the gaming industry; it was an undeniable fact known to all.

With such technology, it could be applied to multiple industries.

3D movies could be made into holographic movies, many complex simulations could be replaced with holographic training...

In no ti, so many sought cooperation that Penson’s front door was almost treaded down.

But soon, educational figures began raising concerns about the holographic gaming helts, stating they would lead minors into gaming addiction. They criticized the holographic gaming helts online, venting vehently, almost demanding Paige Sterling face severe repercussions.

Although, due to production quantity issues, no minors had managed to purchase the holographic helts.

And with that price, without parental backing, a minor couldn’t afford one.

Nonetheless, educational figures expressed grave worries about the future harm holographic gaming helts would cause to children.

Sure, holographic technology signifies scientific progress, but isn’t it also the culprit of destruction?

Paige Sterling, with such talent, why not develop more beneficial things for the nation and its people instead of creating gas that harm adolescents?

Thus, Penson beca regarded as the culprit poisoning minors.

Soon, online voices vehently contradicted these claims.

"Acting like without holographic technology, your children can study peacefully; isn’t it the responsibility of teachers and parents if children don’t study, why burden gaming with bla?"

"Isn’t it true that minors require protection? So adult leisure lives don’t require protection at all? Adults don’t need to play gas anymore, and it’s totally dismissed?"

"If you don’t want your kids to play, just don’t buy it for them, why pin educational shortcomings on gaming, did gaming even get a say?"

"People who have filth in their eyes see filth everywhere; clearly, the developnt of holographic technology is a huge societal advancent, yet so insist on labeling other’s achievents as filth, it’s truly absurd."
