"Luan, what do you think about this partnership proposal? Let me hear your opinion." Maira gave him a proposal to hire the company UOL and sell the internet provider.

"Mm, it's not a bad idea. However, instead of renting three floors of the adjacent building, I would choose to rent a warehouse or something as big as a warehouse that is capable of employing 500 employees per shift," Luan said and then mentioned after reflecting, "The proposal is good and the product is good to sell. However, I disagree with what it says in that script; it would be better to rewrite it and make it more advantageous for yourself."

"Oh. And if you were to do all that you said, how much do you think you would earn per month?" Maira thought it was a good proposal, but she still wanted to know how much it would generate.

Luan gave his analysis of the next 3 months. "In the first month, with approximately one thousand employees: 2 million. In the second month: 6 million. And in the third: 12 million. This already is factoring things such as taxes and employee payments."

"Wait, all that much!? No, even half of that, I find difficult..." Maira did not believe this easily. Of course, she knew that the product proposal was good and with a large profit margin, but it couldn't pay that much...

"Yes, if I used the strategy you have currently, it is obvious that it would not make that much profit in such a short time, but what if I used this?" Luan took a pen and paper and started writing. After writing, he handed it to his mother.

Maira started to read and her eyes shone. "Yes, this is great! If you use this, it will surely sell... Calculating that per employee, it would be an average of 10 configuration devices sold per month, as the cancellation rate does not reach 20%, and yes, your forecast is right, as employees get used to the new sales script, it will only increase the company's monthly income..."

"Of course, that's not all. It is good to highlight those who sell the most, provide rankings and higher status after certain sales benchmarks are reached, and increase the value of the products and services able to be sold. All of this will encourage employees to earn more money, yielding more money for the company," Luan said.

"Yes, I thought that too," Maira agreed.

"Okay, let's go to the next one." Luan looked at the pile of files on the table as he selected another.

Maira was still lost in thought after hearing what Luan said. She only came back to herself seconds later, and asked, "Yes, but Luan, is your forecast only going to be applied for the next three months?"

"But why?" Maira was confused, as she imagined that it was much more worthwhile to make a contract of at least 1 year.

"Did you forget what I said about the apocalypse?" Luan looked at her and said, "This would not sell after the apocalypse comes, and then, we will lose a lot if we made a 1+ year contract."

"Oh that's right, I had forgotten about that! Mm, but they will still use the internet, right?" Maira did not know exactly what would happen in the apocalypse, so there was no way for her to predict this as clearly as Luan did.

"Yes, you will still find people using the internet, but they will no longer need it. In reality, many will not, since there will be a free provider from the internet operator itself. And people will become more intelligent, so really, this is a product that will only sell now because people are still easily deceived." Luan recalled that at the beginning of the Third Awakening, it did not take even 2 months for a new type of internetwork system to be spread across the planet. It was faster and did not need the services of internet providers, since it came for free.

"Okay, anyway, this was just a small proposal. Let's look at the others." Maira was more confident when she heard her son's previous analysis. She was now interested in what he would do when he took over as CEO.

Of course, Luan understood that his mother was testing him practically.

"Before looking at these projects and proposals, explain to me a little better about this apocalypse." Maira realized that without her knowing exactly what she was going to deal with, she had no way of predicting what would happen in the future.

"Remember the bloody forest that I talked about earlier?" Seeing his mother nod, Luan continued, "When the 'apocalypse' happens, people will gain powers. Places like the one I went with Ingrid will appear very often. Magical places, so to speak, will connect to our world, and beings of different species live in these places. Some are dangerous, others are intelligent... In short, many of them will try to enslave a good part of us and control some smaller countries, even some large countries."

"Wait, how do you know all this?" Maira found it strange. If what he said about his memories of a past life were true, that wouldn't have meant that the same thing that happened years ago, would necessarily happen again, especially because humans have developed advanced weapons, technology, even a nuclear bomb...

Luan could not say that he had experienced all of this, but it was also not as if he had not foreseen this question from his mother. He said, "Mother, I understand that it is difficult to believe what I am going to say, but it is true. Now I will make a small analogy of what will happen: We humans on earth have people who are at most at the strength of 60 ordinary men, while these living beings of different dimensions can reach upwards of 1000 ordinary men."

"1000?!" Maira was scared to death.

"Yes. Now do you understand why I said all this? You don't have to be a genius to understand that with that sort of power, they could easily kill a president or take the family of the president of a country hostage and control the country behind the scenes." Luan, seeing that his mother was very scared, reassured her, "Of course, there will be few who have this level of power, and we humans on earth will also be able to get stronger, however, we will be in a race against time. To understand this better, I will use a gaming reference as an example: They, the living beings from other dimensions, will start at level 10+, whereas we will have to start at level 1."

Maira managed to calm down a little. She took a deep breath and drank some tea, but seeing that it was cold, she put it back on the table and asked, "Luan, do you know more or less how many of these living beings in other dimensions will be showing up?"

"If you are going to calculate them all together, I would say it's around 500 million." Even Luan did not know the exact number, but he estimated that it was not far from that number. He added, "Sure, they won't be coming all at once, but that doesn't lessen the danger."

"Mm, I see. It's not too much or too little; if their average strength is 10 times stronger, that would be scary." Maira sighed tiredly. It was worse than she imagined.

Luan looked at his mother and said, "Mother... Because of what we are going to face, I also want to create something at Dimas Corporation, a game to be more precise."

"Tell me more about this game." Maira, knowing the seriousness of the situation they were going to face, became even more serious than before.

"I want to make an online game. I already made the basic framework and I intend to start building it this month," Luan said, "Mother, I don't want our race to become slaves, so all human beings need to become stronger before the 'apocalypse' happens. Of course, everything has a price. To play the game, people will need to spend money, but it will not cost that much. It'd be an amount that even the poorest people could pay: around 10 reais a month."

"How exactly can this game help someone?" Her entrepreneurial heart started to itch. If what Luan said was true, Maira knew it would make a lot of money.

"Each person can buy an account and create a character with the configuration of the person who will play the game," Luan explained, "There is only one class in this game, which is Cultivator. At first, the character starts at level 0 and has to train and meditate in the game and then reach level 1."

"This ... Are you thinking of teaching body techniques using a game character?" Maira asked, without waiting for Luan to finish explaining.

"Yes, that's why people will have to be faithful when it comes to creating the character in their own likeness. It will be revealed from the beginning that if you imitate the movements and actions of the created character, you will be able to become stronger than an ordinary person. Of course, I understand that it will not be easy for people to believe this initially, but that's where grandfather comes in." Luan did not continue to speak, noticing that his mother wanted to speak.

Seeing that her son had stopped talking, she said, "You want to show this to your grandfather before going public, right? I agree. If the army trains using these body techniques, it would be more powerful and it would also be easier to convince the country, and even the whole world. "

"Yes, I believe Grandpa will listen to me. He is already retired, but he still has a lot of connections, and it would be easy for him to convince the army to test the game and see if it works," Luan said.

"I think so too," Maira nodded and asked, "Are we going to continue looking at the other proposals and projects?"

"Yes, we don't need to think too much about what will happen in a few months. First we will strengthen ourselves, and for that, we need a lot of money." Luan went to the table and got another proposal.

Maira looked at her son's back, and enormous pride filled her heart.
