Rise of the White Dragon

Chapter 188: Smartphone

“Here, this is my gift to everyone for Easter.” Luan placed five well-designed boxes with the Dimas Corporation logo on the table.

At first, they didn’t look like much, as there were many companies under the Dimas Corporation. Catharina was the first to open her box that had her name on it.

… Did our company start designing smartphones?” Catharina was confused.

In her hand, a smartphone with the purple cover and a beautiful red diamond, although thin, was on the back of the cell phone cover.

“I’ve never heard of this before.” Even Maira was confused. Her smartphone was pool blue with an identical red diamond on the back.

“Not exactly, I did it myself. It’s at least 10x faster than today’s best smartphones.” Luan said this as if it were not something so surprising.

“I cannot accept this.” Amanda’s hand was shaking as she held her cell phone. She didn’t know how much money the smartphone she was given would cost, but she was sure that even if she worked all year, she wouldn’t be able to afford it.

“Mother-in-law, you can keep it. That was not expensive since I created it myself. In addition, the system in it is very useful. Even with 1 cubic meter  of storage and an artificial intelligence that will help with many things, it will mainly warn you if a dimensional crack appears near you,” Luan explained. 

‘Doesn’t that make it even more accurate and expensive?’ Amanda opened her eyes wide when she saw how indifferent Luan was as he spoke all this nonsense as if it were something normal.

“Luan, are you thinking of making these smartphones to sell?” Maira’s eyes lit up a little. She saw that this would have a large profit margin.

“I do not know yet, but it is very likely that I will. Its operating system is something unique. Just like the iPhone, these smartphones have the Dimas Store. In the Dimas Store you have the Online Survival app and other unique apps that I made. It is still on a test basis and I intend to put even more unique applications on it,” Luan explained.

“[Welcome – You can choose the name you want for your smartphone]”

Catharina, who had already turned on her smartphone, was surprised by the robotic voice as the option to choose the name of her smartphone appeared.

“Catharina.”

She didn’t even type and tried to test the voice command.

“[‘Catharina’, is right?]”

“Yeah.”

“[Voice can be saved and recognized, do you want to save?]”

“Yeah.”

“[Voice saved! If you want, you can choose the option for me to answer only you, Catharina. Do you want to activate this feature?]”

“Mm, yes.” Again Catharina agreed.

The robotic voice spoke again.

“[Dimas Smartphone will have access to its own internet network in the future, but at the moment it is still under construction. For now, the Dimas Smartphone has the option of using WIFI. 100 WIFI networks found… Choose one if you want to connect to a WIFI network.] “

On the smartphone screen, many options appeared. The one with the best signal was the one with the name: Família Dimas.

Catharina connected to the WIFI.

“[Greetings. Welcome to Catharina’s Dimas Smartphone – Do you want to place a screen lock?]”

In the options, it had the recognition of mouth, face, digital, numeric password, and standard password.

“Luan, don’t you need an email?” After setting up the Smartphone, Catharina asked.

“No, all user information will be used for voice recognition. Now, you can even use any Dimas Smartphone and it will recognize you and if you want to change your Smartphone in the future, you only need to use voice recognition or even face and digital recognition,” Luan explained.

“What about this business of having your own internet network?” Catharina asked.

“I am designing a satellite, but it will take a few days,” Luan said, “When I finish, the internet will be at least 400 megs of internet and 400 megs of upload.”

Luan added, “Another thing worth mentioning, in the applications is an image projector. It will be useful for watching videos and movies. Especially if you are going to play Survival Online, it will be easier to make the necessary movements of the body technique.”

“Luan, but doesn’t something like this have a high cost to manufacture? Besides, few people would be able to buy something like this, would they not?” Maria asked.

“That is not entirely true. I will make different versions with balanced prices so that everyone in the world will be able to buy one. My intention is to have as many users as possible in Online Survival. And not everyone wants to use a computer, and cell phones, current ones, don’t even come close to being able to run the game without breaking,” Luan explained.

Although, if people were to purchase a smartphone with the lower configuration, it would be better than the current ones, and they would still be able to play Survival Online.

“Fair. With a dimensional crevice warning app, it will be even more useful in today’s market,” Maira smiled.

After they all finished setting up their smartphones, the group continued to exchange gifts, but compared to the smartphones, the rest of the gifts were all very simple.

Dinner started and they talked about trivial matters. Eating a slice of chocolate pie with strawberries, Catharina finished chewing and said, “So, I was thinking here just now, I’ve never seen a dwarf’s burial.”

Maira didn’t want to, but she ended up laughing and said, “You’re crazy. Where did you get that idea from?”

“But isn’t it true, mom?” Catharina looked serious. “Or are you going to tell me you’ve seen a dwarf burial?”

“That… In fact, thinking about it now, I never saw one.” Not only Maira, the rest around the table also admitted that they had never seen one either.

Catharina smiled. “Yeah, that’s why I was thinking that dwarfs are immortal, since they never seem to die.”

“Changing the focus of the subject,” Maira looked at Luan and asked, “Luan, didn’t you say you were going to get Leviathan or something?”

“About that,” Luan unclasped the pendant he was wearing, and the pendant was made in the appearance of a ferocious monster with a mixture of snake and a fish and dragon. “This item is in the hidden form of Leviathan. Although I can use it at any time, I’m still too weak to enter there for too long. I can’t even use it as an accessory that raises my status at the moment.”
