For Su Ping, this was the first New Year's Eve he had spent alone. Moreover, celebrating it with all his Pet Beasts made it an occasion of truly extraordinary significance.
For many others, the dawn of this New Year was likewise extraordinary.
Take Dong Muyun, for example. Like her, quite a few others were not observing the vigil with their families at this moment. Instead, they were being scolded by their relatives as they hunched in front of their computers.
Of course, aside from those being scolded, many other family members were also gathered with them before these computers, awaiting the countdown.
The early hours, spanning from New Year's Eve to New Year's Day, marked a special time for this group.
This was because the high-end products from the Pingyun Group were officially launching today!
It was a revolutionary product.
Without a doubt, anyone who could afford such an item was no ordinary individual.
However, even these extraordinary individuals had to queue honestly. At most, they could only urge their subordinates to join them in line.
Beyond that, attempting to use their usual backdoor connections was utterly useless.
This group included some prominent figures.
However, regardless of how important these figures were, Dong Muyun offered no special treatment this time.
Of course, this was limited to those below the Spirit Saint Level.
However, even those who had reached the Spirit Saint Level paid little attention to the launch of the Heart of Dreams.
After all, at that Realm, they had far too many matters to attend to daily.
Some might have been curious about the Heart of Dreams, but without it being tested by others, relying solely on advertisements and that young woman's live stream still lacked credibility.
So, after unsuccessfully trying to appeal to Dong Muyun, these people had no choice but to quietly join the queue and rush to make their purchases.
They couldn't help it; they, too, had wanted to resort to some extreme measures.
However, after learning about the Pingyun Group's background, that thought vanished into thin air.
Dong Muyun's background hardly needed elaboration; she hailed from the Mirror Saint Family, a lineage continuing since the late Liang Dynasty.
Although it had declined somewhat in recent times, the profound heritage of such a noble Family was not something ordinary people could lightly challenge. In such circumstances, these Families were naturally in a different league than ordinary people.
However, apart from Dong Muyun, the most crucial factor was that hidden name.
Su Ping, this year's champion of the Breeder competition.
He was also the one backed by both Sang Sheng and Ghost Saint. While most people were unaware of this, those with a keener ear for information knew it clearly.
Thus, those who had initially harbored schemes instantly became compliant.
Even several individuals who had considered causing trouble for Yin Yin, the young live streamer with little backing, abandoned the idea.
At this moment, Dong Muyun had not returned to the Dong Family's old mansion like Dong Muxuan. Instead, she sat in her office in the Pingyun Group's skyscraper, extremely nervous.
"Chairman, it's about to start!"
Assistant Luo, beside her, also clenched his fists nervously, eagerly watching the countdown on the Pingyun Group's official website with Dong Muyun.
Although they were selling a mere twenty-eight Heart of Dreams helmets, it was important to remember that the price of each Heart of Dreams was extremely high.
A selling price of one hundred and twenty million was not something an ordinary person could afford.
"Well, Xiao Luo, how long do you think it will take to sell out these twenty-eight Hearts of Dreams?"
Assistant Luo naturally understood that his chairman was also a bit nervous.
Otherwise, with the chairman's personality, she certainly wouldn't have asked such a question.
So, to boost his chairman's confidence, Assistant Luo thought for a moment and said, with some exaggeration, "It's the New Year's vigil right now, so I expect many customers are still awake. I estimate they'll sell out in half an hour at most! After all, the previous response to the Heart of Dreams was excellent, and Yin Yin's live stream was also very effective. I observed in the live stream that there are a few big spenders; I'm sure they're definite buyers for the Heart of Dreams!"
Dong Muyun nodded. Half an hour... After all, thirty failed Mechanical Cores represented a substantial sum. The accumulation of billions in costs, if these items remained unsold, would indeed be a significant pressure for Pingyun.
Time slowly passed. Finally, the numbers on the electronic clock on the wall hit zero.
Dong Muyun exhaled.
Then, on the Pingyun Group's backend system, Dong Muyun gently clicked refresh.
Dong Muyun could guarantee with her strength as a Monarch Level Beastmaster that she truly hadn't delayed much.
The interval between midnight striking and the countdown numbers reaching zero definitely hadn't exceeded five seconds.
Yet, in that mere five-second span, the remaining presale count displayed on the backend system, visible to Dong Muyun and Assistant Luo, was a crystal-clear 0!
Zero?!
They both blinked. Sold out in less than five seconds?
How could that be possible?
Yet, that was indeed the reality.
Dong Muyun immediately logged into Yin Yin's live stream.
Yin Yin was still broadcasting. Evidently, her live stream room had become the main hub for everyone interested in the Heart of Dreams!
"Fisher King: I got one! {Image}{Image}"
"Dragon City Chen: Hahaha, I got one too, and I grabbed two!"
