Chapter 1941 JODE Promotional Video
When the video came to life, everyone was astonished by the backdrop of the entire auditorium. They never expected that it was possible to follow such a high tech gimmick from the US to China so easily especially when there were reports that stated the equipment could not be fabricated easily by the rest due to its proprietary rights and thus the visual effects achieved by it would be a cut from the rest.
Yet in this school instance, Jin had installed this screen as if it was just another equipment that the school might need. Everyone was undoubtedly being blown away by this magnificent display and all took the opportunity to take a video of it.
Even Ma Ge was genuinely surprised by it and initially thought that Jin had purposely increased the price of the IT equipment as a way to markup and earn more money. In his mind, he honestly thought how nice can a huge screen be?
Now that he saw it in action, he understood that the money was extremely well spent. But what he did not know was that Jin did still earn money from it. (Lots of it in fact. That pesky dungeon supplier knew that he would still be rolling in cash because it was something that their finance team would not understand until they saw it first hand.)
And as for the video, the JODE management too had initially wanted to play a standard video but Grandma Yuan rejected that idea. It was poorly made with no standard and for it to be aired for the entire row of national media reporters to view. It was unacceptable.
That was why Kiyu had been called in to make the video and even got Grandma Yuan's four disciples into the development of the promotional video. And considering how the four disciples already knew about the System, it was easy to use them to get the production of the video going.
Once the video had been presented, the morale of the audience improved drastically. As they had glimpses of the school from the video, all of them could not wait to get out of this auditorium to learn more about it. At that moment, the emcee who took over had started with some administrative issues.
It was initially planned to have the grand headmistress Yuan take the stage after the video but they seem to have underestimated the crowd that came in. Of course, since this was a dimensional instance, Jin was able to achieve the impossible. He had temporarily increased the auditorium space even though the size from the outside was still static. But when that happens, it takes a considerable amount of resources that was unrealistic to hold for an extended period of time. That was why the Grand Headmistress's address to the students had been postponed later while the JODE chancellor and his team dealt with the parents and mass media that came to view the place.
And in order to do so, the emcee had begun to put up the ID numbers of the students on the video wall and those names that had been flashed on the wall would step out to meet with their representatives to go to their classrooms for attendance taking. Most of the representatives were their homeroom teachers but considering some of the teachers were also handling the backend support for the subsequent mass media cum parents tour, there were substitutes within the representatives too.
This way, the JODE Chancellor and Grand Headmistress can privately address questions to the mass media as well as any questions from the concerned parents who think that this dimensional instance would not be a permanent arrangement.
As for the students, instead of the concern, they were more interested in looking at the school and what it has to offer. After all, some of them are going to stay more than three years and wanted to know first hand what this place has. But more importantly, they like to know who their teachers are.
So, each of the students had found their group, and about 50% of the groups were elated that they had been paired with a teacher they knew from their old school/ training centres. The other 50 were a little lost since everything looked extremely new to them. Some were elated they managed to jump grade and others were dejected that they had to be relegated to a more basic level. Yet, this did not linger in their minds for long as the interest to learn more about the school was currently their first priority. Amongst those representatives were also the four disciples that were shown in the video and those students in their groups were excited to see such terrific seniors to be their guides.
Some of them asked if it was really possible to wield such crazy powers through training and the disciples cautiously acknowledged their queries. "Heh, you will judge whether we are terrific when we have that talent showcase later at the stadium," Rong said as he knew that the students would be in for a treat during the tour. "Yeah, the talent showcase will definitely blow your mind. Literally." Lian said as the two group representatives confirmed their groups before they led them to their classrooms.
