Villain MMORPG: Almighty Devil Emperor and His Seven Demonic Wives Chapter 1320: Potential Cash Cow

Villain Ch 1320. Potential Cash Cow

anwhile, across the room, Elio appeared to be having a great ti. He was hanging out with Alexander, Gil, and Gerry, the four of them gathered around, laughing and chatting. Despite everything else going on, Allen was glad to see them enjoying themselves.

Evan, on the other hand, was fully imrsed in what he called his "culinary adventure." Alongside Geralt, he moved from table to table, sampling everything the party had to offer. Every ti Allen glanced in their direction, Evan had a different plate in hand, his eyes lighting up with excitent at each new dish. Geralt seed content to let Evan take the lead, occasionally offering comntary on the food with his usual dry humor.

One ti, Allen made his way over to them, not just to check in but to introduce his girlfriends. This event wasn't just an opportunity for networking with business figures—it was also a chance for personal connections. Geralt and Evan, while surprised at first, were nothing but supportive.

Geralt gave Allen a knowing grin and a teasing nudge, muttering sothing about Allen finally learning how to balance work and personal life. Evan, on the other hand, offered a more straightforward response, congratulating Allen with a grin.

An hour had passed since the initial announcents, and the staff, with practiced enthusiasm, made another one over the speakers. "Ladies and gentlen, we are excited to announce that the do is now open! Those interested in testing the duel device may register at the designated booth. Each participant will have a set ti limit, and registration is first-co, first-served. Enjoy!"

As expected, there was an imdiate rush toward the booth. Mostly young people—gars, tech enthusiasts, and the occasional ambitious investor—lined up eagerly to sign up. It wasn't just about having fun, though. Allen knew better than to think this was a simple gaming demo for everyone here. Most of the investors had one thing in mind: evaluating whether this device was worth putting their money into. If they were going to back sothing as cutting-edge as a fully imrsive VR dueling system, they needed to see that it wasn't just a flashy gimmick but a viable product with real market potential.

Jas and Noah were already in line, standing out with their usual confident air. Jas, as always, looked amused by the whole thing, while Noah's expression betrayed a genuine curiosity. Allen wasn't surprised to see them registering—they were gars at heart, and Noah in particular had always had a fascination for new tech. He probably wanted to see for himself if this device lived up to the hype.

"Look at those two," Bella said with a smirk, nodding toward Jas and Noah. "They're acting like they've already won sothing."

"They're just curious," Allen said, his tone light. "Noah's probably more interested in the smoothness of the system than actually dueling anyone."

"Still," Jane added, sipping her drink, "it's kind of funny seeing all these rich investors lining up like excited kids. You'd think they'd be too proud to stand in line."

"It's not just excitent," Shea said thoughtfully. "They're here to see if this thing is worth investing in. They're looking at it like a potential cash cow."

"Figures," Zoe said, leaning against the table casually. "It's always about the money."

Allen's eyes scanned the growing line. It was impressive how quickly it had filled up. They'd only just announced the do opening, and already there were at least fifteen people signed up. He spotted Elio standing near the front, chatting casually with one of the staff mbers as he waited for his turn. True to his word, Elio had registered imdiately after the announcent, making sure he would have a chance to duel Allen as planned.

"He's serious about this," Larissa noted, following Allen's gaze toward Elio. "Think he'll give you a tough fight?"

Allen shrugged, a faint smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth. "He's always serious about fights. But this isn't about winning or losing for him. He just wants to test himself."

Their conversation was briefly interrupted by another announcent from the staff. "Attention! The first round of participants will begin shortly. Please proceed to the do entrance."

The crowd began to shift, so heading toward the do to watch while others stayed back, content to mingle and chat. The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation, though Allen noticed it wasn't the typical excitent of a gaming tournant. This was different—more subdued, more calculated. Investors weren't here for entertainnt; they were here to observe, take notes, and decide whether this was a business opportunity worth pursuing.

The first few rounds began, but to Allen's mild disappointnt, they weren't particularly exciting. Most of the participants weren't really interested in dueling—they were more focused on testing the technology itself. They moved slowly, cautiously, taking their ti to explore the virtual environnt, experint with the controls, and get a feel for the system's responsiveness. It made sense—these were people with money and influence, not hardcore gars looking for an adrenaline rush.

Even Jas and Noah, when their turn ca, didn't bother trying to outdo each other. They spent most of their ti testing the fluidity of the system, checking how the skills worked, and generally treating it like a tech demo rather than a competitive match. The crowd watching from the sidelines seed split—so were visibly bored, while others, likely the more serious investors, watched intently, occasionally murmuring to each other and taking notes.

"It's kind of boring," Bella whispered, leaning toward Allen. "No one's actually fighting."

"It's not ant to be a spectacle," Allen replied quietly. "They're testing the tech. They're here to see if it works, not to put on a show."

"Still," Zoe added, "it wouldn't hurt if soone made it a little more interesting."

Allen gave a small nod, acknowledging her point. Even he was starting to feel the weight of the slow-paced matches. Jas and Noah, despite being skilled players, had focused more on exploring the fluidity of the system and how well it handled interactions rather than putting on a real fight. For the investors, it was exactly what they wanted—calculated observation, data to analyze—but for the casual audience, it lacked excitent. They wanted action, sothing to break the monotony.
