[Next Gen is really quite ahead of its time.]

[We already know that but the crux is what they are going to unveil in the event this time.]

In Daxia…

A grave atmosphere prevailed following the Next Gen's excitement.

Linwei Ding sat in his office at Youkou, a tall building in Daxia. The room was dark, and the screens around him showed their latest products, but today, they just reminded him of how far behind they had fallen. As news about Next Gen's Innovations spread, he slammed his hand on his desk, shattering the silence of the quiet room.

"What are we going to do now?" he muttered, exasperated. Every time he thought they were closing the gap, Next Gen would release something so amazing that would make their work seem useless.

Linwei had once felt proud of his ability to create copies of the latest tech things with better specs at completely low affordable prices but now every time he tried to copy what Next Gen created, it felt like an impossible task.

"All the tech giants, even the giant Pears and Macrosoft… are both failing because of Next Gen. And we are just trying to keep up!" he exclaimed, his frustration mounting.

He rubbed his head, remembering how hard he had worked to develop these new products that nobody seemed to care about while Next Gen's technology was becoming wildly popular. "It's just so hard to copy their stuff!" he shouted, feeling angry.

"Every new feature they make is like a big wall we can't break through. It's like they are always ten steps ahead of us!"

Linwei looked at the screens showing social media buzzing with excitement about Next Gen's latest inventions. "What do they have that we don't?" he asked himself, feeling frustrated.

"Is it their money? Their talent? Their ideas? Or is it just plain luck?"

The idea of being known only for copying others made him upset. He had built Youkou to be a leader in technology, and now it felt like they would always remain the second best.

If this alone wasn't enough, the government was on their tails for replicating things for them. The matter of VR was still in heated mode.

The government officials were squeezing their throats and asking them to do anything possible to invent the VR helmet and create a digital VR world. And despite pouring an immense amount of wealth, researchers and even going as far as to collaborate with other countries, it still hadn't produced any conducive results.

Watching Next Gen's progress, his heart had an ominous feeling welling up in his heart as if soon his world was going to be devoured by NextGen.

With a heavy sigh, he stood up and began pacing in his small office. "I need a new plan," he muttered with determination.

"We can't just keep following them and remain behind. We need to find a way to create something new that will make us stand out and make people notice us. We need to think differently!"

Linwei stopped at the window, gazing at the busy city below. The lights twinkled, representing dreams and hopes. "Next Gen may be in the spotlight now," he thought, "but I won't let Youkou fade away. We will find a way to succeed."

Feeling inspired by the thought, he returned to his desk, ready to gather his team. "We need fresh ideas and bold plans. Let's shake things up!" he announced, his voice brimming with energy of purpose. It was time to stop waiting and start leading the way into a new era of technology, even if it meant taking some unprecedented risks.

In the USL…One Pears Park…

Steven Hook sat at the head of the long, sleek conference table in the Pears' headquarters, his gaze fixed on the large screen displaying the latest news about Next Gen Innovations. The buzz around their recent event made him uneasy, an ominous feeling tightening in his chest as he considered the implications of Next Gen's rapid advancements.

"Something doesn't feel right," he muttered, rubbing the back of his neck. Around him, the room was filled with his closest advisors, each one sharing a mix of excitement and apprehension as they discussed the impact of Next Gen's latest releases.

Pears had been enjoying a wave of success recently, with their own products gaining popularity, Yet, Steven couldn't shake the worry that they were on the verge of being overshadowed.

"Gather the team," he instructed, his voice steady but laced with concern. "I want a full investigation into what Evan is planning next. We need to know what's coming. Their technology is evolving too quickly, and I can't help but feel like they're gearing up for something big."

As his team mobilized, Steven leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. Business at Pears had been strong, with the recent launch of several products driving strong revenue. However, the shadow of Next Gen loomed large, and their relentless innovation felt like a storm gathering on the horizon, one that would leave Pears in its shadow.

The recent success of Pears' own applications had brought in significant revenue, but the threat from Next Gen made Steven uneasy.

While they were positioned well in the market, he couldn't ignore the fact that Next Gen was stealing attention and customers with every new development. Their VR helmet and cabins were drawing massive interest, and Steven feared that Pears would quickly become yesterday's news if they couldn't keep up.

Meanwhile, Pears and Macrosoft, once advertising giants, had started to destabilize. At first, it was them who had started going ahead of Macrosoft with the help of stolen software from Evan, but in the next few moments Macrosoft struck back with a VR helmet but it didn't create any significant impact since the sales were low but…

Everything changed with games. Now, Macrosoft and Omega Corps had a full monopoly of VR games with no other companies even being able to come close.

"Why do I feel this way?" Steven wondered, his brow furrowing as he gazed out the window at the bustling city below.

"That boy…I should have just eliminated him when I had the chance?"

In fact, he couldn't think that such a genius could exist. Everything that guy was producing seemed to be centuries ahead of their time.

The atmosphere in the room shifted as Steven's advisors began to report back on the latest trends and data. They spoke of increased competition and mounting market volatility, and the more they discussed, the deeper his concern grew. The pressure was real, and Steven felt the weight of his role pressing down heavily on his shoulders.

"Keep a close eye on their strategies," he instructed firmly. "We need to anticipate their moves before they can pull the rug out from under us. I won't let Pears fall behind."

With a renewed sense of urgency, Steven dismissed the meeting and set his sights on what lay ahead.
