Dreamscape: Game Development Chapter 87: 87-Imperial Debut

Leaving aside the heated discussions on the forums for now, Alto's trading company had finally completed all arrangents to enter the Imperial Capital after weeks of careful preparation.

Led personally by his trusted confidant Joseph, the caravan loaded with core equipnt and supplies successfully arrived at the very heart of the Empire.

Here, they would launch their expansion into the capital's lucrative market.

They would begin with a pilot location to confirm the operational strategy, which Joseph had ticulously planned. If everything went smoothly, they would fully roll it out across the Imperial Capital in the coming months.

As the heart of the Elven Empire, Solaria was far more prosperous than Lunaria could ever hope to be.

The wide streets were packed with traffic, and pedestrians flowed endlessly through the comrcial districts.

Unlike Lunaria, it was common here to see mbers of other races mixing freely with elves.

Among the crowd were various elven races, recognizable by their pointed ears and slender figures. They dressed in linen garnts or silk robes, depending on their station.

So noble elves even had ornate embroidery on their hems, displaying their wealth openly.

Humans, dwarves, and even rare fairy-like races could also be seen conducting business.

The city was enormous in scale, divided into inner and outer districts. From above, Solaria appeared circular, with four main avenues running east, west, south, and north directly into the inner district.

The inner district housed nobles and the powerful elite, while the outer district was mostly commoners, though it too was divided into different neighborhoods by wealth.

The trial operation site was located on a main road close to the inner district, positioned strategically.

It was situated in a bustling comrcial area with massive foot traffic throughout the day.

Not only did commoners pass through regularly, but nobles frequently took this route as well when visiting the markets.

At first, a shop under renovation didn't attract much attention from passersby.

But as construction wrapped up and the barriers were gradually removed, the store's true appearance was revealed. It instantly captured the eyes of curious pedestrians.

In the lower corner was a small line of text that read: Dreamscape Entertainnt Cultural dia Experience Center.

In the middle were four bold words that dominated the storefront.

"Starry Sky DreamNet Café? What the heck is that?"

A passing commoner elf stopped abruptly, scratching his head and muttering in confusion.

"That na is so strange! Have any of you heard of this kind of shop?"

Several young elves walking together gathered around curiously, examining the unusual storefront with interest.

"Never heard of it... what does it even do?"

Soone couldn't help but speculate aloud.

"The decoration looks pretty refined, though. I wonder which company is behind this?"

The shop hadn't officially opened yet, but anticipation was already building.

The renovation was extrely luxurious compared to neighboring establishnts. The main entrance was made entirely of transparent glass, which was rare and expensive.

The store occupied a vast area, and one entire side wall was also decorated with glass panels. This allowed people to vaguely see the interior layout from outside.

Inside, rows of strange devices were neatly arranged in organized sections.

No one had ever seen such objects before and had no idea what they were used for, which only deepened the mystery.

Occasionally, employees in matching uniforms could be seen bustling about inside, adjusting those mysterious devices with practiced efficiency.

anwhile, on the main street of the Imperial Capital, a convoy drove past the gathering crowd.

Leading the procession was the newest Rolls-Royce model from Lunaria, instantly attracting widespread attention from everyone nearby.

Its noble lines outlined a calm and imposing silhouette that commanded respect, and its black exterior glead brilliantly under the afternoon sunlight.

The hood ornant was exquisite in design, and every detail radiated extre luxury that money couldn't afford.

It ford a stark contrast with the surrounding traditional horse-drawn carriages that suddenly looked outdated.

As the convoy slowly passed, many citizens stopped in their tracks to stare.

"What kind of vehicle is that?! I've never seen it before!"

"Yeah! It looks so impressive! Even more imposing than a noble's carriage!"

"Is this so new model designed by a master craftsman from Solaria?"

"No idea. Haven't heard anything about it recently!"

"Sothing like that isn't for commoners like us anyway. So elves are born with silver spoons in their mouths. These good things aren't that special to them. Even if we worked our whole lives, we wouldn't even get close to owning sothing like that. Alright, let's get back to work."

It wasn't only commoners who noticed the spectacle.

As the Rolls-Royce drove along, many nobles and wealthy rchants were also drawn to its striking presence.

They too noticed the stylish yet dignified vehicle cutting through traffic.

Coincidentally, a carriage pulled by two pure white unicorns was traveling down the sa street monts before.

In Solaria, a unicorn-drawn carriage was a powerful symbol of status and wealth.

Though the carriage itself followed a traditional design, the unicorns were extrely rare creatures, even among elves who prided themselves on magical beasts.

The carriage body was engraved with elegant, mystical patterns and embedded with tiny gemstones that caught the light. It always drew attention whenever it appeared on the streets.

Inside, a noble dressed in luxurious robes leaned against a cushioned seat, resting with eyes closed peacefully.

But from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the Rolls-Royce driving down the center of the road with confidence.

He abruptly opened his eyes, and his pupils widened in surprise.

"Whose carriage is that?"

The smooth body design was maddeningly perfect in execution! Understated, yet radiating luxury in every curve.

Why had he never seen sothing like this before?

Compared to that, his pride and joy, the unicorn carriage, suddenly seed sowhat inferior.

His carriage looked lavish enough, but in comparison, it felt a bit ostentatious now.

As if it scread wealth outright without any subtlety.

But that car over there didn't announce anything, yet it exuded an overwhelming sense of prestige that couldn't be ignored.

Without hesitation, he imdiately instructed his attendant urgently.

"Find out where that car ca from and which workshop made it. No matter the price, I want one imdiately."

Watching the Rolls-Royce disappear into the distance, he suddenly felt his own ride was like a peasant's wagon by comparison.

Completely unworthy of his status and position.

Behind the attention-grabbing Rolls-Royce were several other vehicles with simple yet refined designs, though all the spotlight had been stolen by the leading car.

Eventually, the Rolls-Royce slowly ca to a stop in front of the Experience Center with perfect timing.

The door opened smoothly.

A young elf stepped out first, tall and upright, with sowhat handso features that drew imdiate attention.

Alongside him descended an exceptionally graceful female elf elegantly.

She wore a light purple gown, and her long hair cascaded gently over her shoulders. Her temperant was refined, like soone stepping out of a masterwork painting.

A rather good-looking man and a stunning woman together created quite the impression.

They imdiately drew countless gazes from the gathering crowd.

"Who is that?"

"How would we know? There are so many wealthy people in the Empire. Who knows where he ca from?"

"Hah! Probably so spoiled heir showing off his new toy!"

"So young with such a carriage, and such a beautiful companion. Must be so noble's son!"

"Not necessarily, though. There are too many geniuses in this world. Who knows, maybe he's another prodigy that just erged from the academies!"

After admiring the scenery along the way, they had finally arrived at their destination.

Upon reaching the Imperial Capital, Alto couldn't help but marvel at its overwhelming prosperity.

If Lunaria felt serene and elegant while carrying a trace of tranquility, then Solaria felt grand and majestic while brimming with imposing splendor that couldn't be matched.

With Helena by his side, Alto had just stepped out of the car when Joseph, who had been busy inside the store coordinating final preparations, imdiately hurried out to greet them with a respectful bow.
