Luan walked into the room, and sat in the chair across from Maira. "It's about Online Survival, yes?"

"Yes, the game is not going well. Many are stopping and even thinking about uninstalling. That's because it's not as useful as before," Maira sighed.

Luan strangely laughed at this. "Mom, aren't you forgetting anything?"

"Mm?" Maira arched her brow.

"Not everyone can enter the tower, yes, the game is not as good to strengthen as before. Japan must already be convinced again, yes? By the way, the corrupt in Brazil that are being investigated must be happy, since, without the support of the game, they think they have a better chance. Of course, that's all nonsense, mom. I've already said that this is the final game update. Do you really think I'm so silly and not thinking about the possibility of body techniques or rather just 1 or 2 parts won't benefit me as much as before?" These questions Luan asked with a small smile took Maira by surprise.

After a while, she laughed and said, "Haha, I should have guessed. It's just like my son to think 10 steps ahead. Tell me now, I'm listening."

"I already had the game update, actually," he laughed, "I always had. I uploaded the update a long time ago, but it wasn't necessary, I waited for the right moment, as many think it's becoming useless and have uninstalled and unsubscribed, but soon I'm going to update the game. Basic body technique? Totally free for the first five parts. Weaker martial arts techniques that can manipulate the Qi can be acquired by playing the game, and those people that didn't cancel, guess what?"

"They don't need to pay a higher amount if you raise the price once upgrading the game, and those who canceled will have to make a new account and pay a higher fee per month." Maira understood instantly.

"That's why I like talking to you, Mom. You understand me fast." He saw a smug smile on her face, and so Luan continued, "I also intend to release the Qi technique, and also with 5 basic steps, however, it can take you only to the limit of the Second Order, same with Basic Body Technique. And I will make tournaments for those who reach the Second Order with prizes that they would only otherwise get in the tower, like techniques that allow them to reach the Third Order, etc. Mother, they have to understand who they are dealing with. Those who disbelieve will be sad, and those who believe will be happy, and who are dropping their accounts right now, richer or poorer? Yes, of course, many are poor, so most of them haven't canceled the account, because it's still worth it to them. It might look like a lot in the big picture, but the game's only dropped 10% of users worldwide." Theo showed the chart of canceled accounts.

"90% are basically poor people. Imagine their reaction when they know they can gain full techniques and even those of Qi, also, with no additional fee. But, for those who canceled? Heh, they will have to pay 100 reais a month, 10x the previous amount. If they don't want to, it doesn't matter. The voice of the people speaks louder. My goal was never the money itself, but to strengthen humanity, which is weaker at birth than other races, but I'm not benevolent either. Those who canceled and spoke ill of the game? Now they'll pay 10x the previous amount." Luan said it all coldly.

"Yes, there is no shortage of money. The majority of the population is poor. Your grandfather is already in the second round and has the highest percentage of votes. He will soon be the new president of Brazil. With his support, Brazil can prosper. The Brazilian army is currently one of the most powerful, as they have trained with full techniques," Maira said with a small smile.

"By the way, I'm going to have the giants come to our tower. I bought a technique that is special for them. It's not complicated at all. They get smaller for a few hours and can enter the tower without attracting attention, and it'll be good to have them on our side. I want to leave them with you mom; you'll lead them all and make a name for yourselves on the 40th Floor. Get as much Credit as possible and make it to the Fourth Order," Luan said seriously.

"Yes, I don't want to be left too far behind either. After all, my son and daughter-in-law are so good, how can I not try~" Maira stuck out her tongue and smiled.

"Mother, you just didn't make it to the Fourth Order because of the body technique I made you train with / using. This technique is more difficult than the others, but I did what I did because I believe in you, mother. You will be strong enough to shake the whole world. You won't be known as the mother of Luan Dimas, Cristina Dimas, Catharina Dimas, or mother-in-law of Ingrid Anjo but rather, as Maira Dimas – a powerful woman who is on top of the world!" Luan said in a grave tone.

For a moment Maira was able to picture everything Luan had said. She was indeed a strong woman who was on top of the world, not a weak mother who stood behind her talented children and daughter-in-law. It somehow made her blood boil. She felt motivated and a prettier smile blossomed on her face. "Thank you son, I know what to do!"

"Good!" Luan smiled and added, "Mom, look at this."

Minutes later, the company-wide phones start ringing and everything became total mess. Everyone was confused, and soon they were amazed.

What Luan just said he was going to do, he already did. The game was updated and the announcement was already made. He just needed his smartphone, and he did everything quickly. The official account of the game "Online Survival" did notice the increase to 100 Brazilian reais per month for those who canceled and for those who did not cancel the same amount as before. Of course, the whole world would collapse. After all, everyone wanted to get stronger, and this time, Luan thought of that rooster and even had the version for animals that acquired intelligence.

"So quickly!" Maira almost jumped out of her chair in fright.

"I said you had nothing to worry about. I had everything planned and prepared, while the poorly affected may complain, we don't owe them. If they want to play, they'll have to pay!" Luan said coldly.

"Hahaha! I like it! That's my boy! Okay, things have already become a mess and I can't do anything anymore today. I'm going home, or better to Island to train. Ingrid can go too; in fact, everyone can come along. I'm going to close the company for today. There's only going to be complaints about the connection, so let's pull the wires and let them be pissed off alone!" Maira said boldly.

After she spoke to Luan, she was incredibly excited. She wanted to train soon. She wanted to get to the Fourth Order, and as Luan said, lead the giants with her family and dominate the 40th floor of the tower! Maira's eyes were on fire!

"That's it, mom. Hahaha!" Luan, who rarely laughed so blatantly, laughed out loud too.

Outside, the employees were startled and shuddered. Maira and Luan's laugh was a little... well... scary? It was as if they were planning something evil...

Well, anyway, many had heard that the company was going to close for the day and were happy for the day off, and also excited to play the game. After all, after the update announced a new Qi technique and all the parts, they were dying to train and get strong too. Who wouldn't want to be able to have power and protect themselves?

Meanwhile, many had already started downloading the new update with shaking hands. They were so excited that their feet were shaking and their hearts were beating faster. This was something big, really big! They couldn't enter the towers, but what of it? They had Online Survival!

This was a hashtag that went viral on the internet, many who were upset about not being able to enter the tower, shared by all means of communication: #I can't enter the tower, but what of it? I have Online Survival!

"Luan, you haven't ridden my 'Helicopter' yet?" Maira asked rhetorically as she shut down the computer and shut down the system.

"True, I'm going with you today then," Luan smiled.

"Hehe, I've improved a lot since last time. Now that I'm in the Third Order, my Scan Origin can create even more amazing things!" Maira said proudly.

"I believe you." Luan showed complete confidence in his mother.

"Ingrid, let's go downstairs." Maira grabbed her arms and brought her to the front of the elevator.

"Okay." Ingrid nodded, already having gotten used to Maira. When she decided something, she did it; she was not a knotless tip. She always talked what came in mind and was very decisive in her actions and sincere with whom she trusted. That's why she liked Maria so much. Ingrid couldn't have asked for a better mother-in-law.

After reaching the ground floor, Maira began to materialize a helicopter. It was simply spectacular! It was all black with purple accents, Maira's favorite color, and it was very large, holding up to 16 passengers.

Looking at that, Luan remembered the "Bell 525 Relentless" that was built in 2012 in his previous life. Maybe because of Maira's influence, things changed and they built it before then?

"What do you think? Isn't it beautiful?" Maira puffed out her breasts and adjusted her posture in front of her son. She wanted to know his opinion and receive compliments.

"Yes, very impressive mother, you are my greatest pride." When he said that, Luan was sincere. He was most proud of his mother, however, he saw that she did not take his words seriously. but was happy about him thinking she was important.

"Ehem." Maira was happy and asked both Luan and Ingrid to come on board. Ingrid laughed quietly and got into the helicopter with them both.
