The application period was only two days, after which a Skynet qualifier would be held, and the top nine would to join Han Sen as finalists to compete in the Digang Warframe Match on September 10.
Many commented that Digang was rather stingy by awarding only the top three with SKTS--so fussy over a warframe. The most expensive warframe for civil use at the time was the King series of Starry Group, which cost no more than a dozen million and could be customized as required.
SKTS, however, would not allow customization. Every warframe was the same model; not even the color could be changed. A warframe like this would be at most ten to twenty million. Plenty could afford it.
But when they saw the pricing, people were all dumbfounded. It was an absurd 76 million, which could buy six or seven King series warframes and probably broke the record of civil warframes.
One could even get two or three military warframes with that price.
Also, only 100,000 units would be sold. It sounded like a bit number, but with so many planets in the Alliance and tens of billions of people on each planet, 100,000 was not a lot at all.
The competitors attacked Digang ferociously, and the people were also very dissatisfied with the company’s strategy. The negative news of Digang was almost overwhelming.
Yet Digang had no comment on any of that, waiting for September 10 to come.
More and more applied for Digang Warframe Match. Fortunately, in the beginning there had not been too many applicants and there was a limit of two days for application, or else the preliminaries could not be finished before the finals at all.
”Han Hao, come to see this person... This person... looks like Han Sen...” Han Yumei frowned and called Han Hao while watching the Digang Warframe Match.
”They just look alike. There is no way that’s him. This is a star and Han Sen does not even deserve to polish his shoes,” Han Yumei's commented cynically.
”That’s right. How could Han Sen star a Digang commercial? But they do look terribly alike. Han Hao, come here and look at this latest Digang warframe, 76 million! So expensive that we could probably afford one if we sold everything,” Han Yumei said admiringly.
Han Hao came out of the room, his face dark. Seeing the commercial, he gritted his teeth and said, ”That is Han Sen.”
”What? It cannot be. Where did you hear the gossip?” Han Yumei and her husband were staring at Han Hao.
”That is no gossip. Check the list of actors and you will see.” Han Hao was in a bad mood.
He could not believe that Han Sen would turn thing around so quickly. First his cousin was admitted to a famous military school, and now he was in the most popular commercial of the entire Alliance.
Han Yumei and her husband were dazed. They watched the star in the commercial that looked like the god of war, unable to believe that was Han Sen.
At this time, Han Yumei’s comlink rang and she pressed answer. Her brother’s holographic image popped out and said urgently, ”Yumei, have you seen the commercial of SKTS? Han Sen... ”
In the old house of the Hans, Luo Sulan was watching the same commercial over and over again, her eyes red and full of tears.
Since Han Sen spoke to her and told her about the commercial, Luo Sulan had watched it many times. No matter how many times she watched it, she could not get over her excitement, as if that figure in it was her whole world.
