758 Penglai City is now Open! (1/2)
The rolling waves slammed onto the side of the ship. The water freely splashed 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 Penglai City. You may not be able to see it because we are about fifteen nautical miles from the nearest port! Look at that black spot, now we can see the top of the Central of Penglai 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 the last 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 accept 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 Penglai City began to march toward the city known as the miracle.
From the helicopter, the scene of countless dragging white waves coming from all directions to Penglai, was a magnificent painting! According to statistics from the Tourism Bureau, the number of people who applied to land on the island 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 Penglai 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 Penglai City with a smile.
Penglai, 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 individual competition and fifth in team compition! 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 the largest player base in the world. Due to the popularity of virtual reality online games and the subsequent effects, many people who never played the game also put on their helmet and applied for visitor passes to watch his live stream in action.
