Chapter 494 Out of Control
Colby couldn’t stand it when he brought up that topic.
“You smoke too, but I never bring that up. Yet, you’re on my case. After all the hard work I’ve put in, a bit of indulgence is well-deserved!” Colby defended himself unapologetically.
Sean let out a sigh of exasperation upon hearing this.
At this moment, Xavien knocked and entered. He glanced at Sean, signaling that Sean should leave.
Colby understood that they were about to discuss something important. So, he waved Sean away and settled down comfortably, contemplating. Besides, he was indeed tired and needed. a couple of days off after indulging in his games for so long.
When Sean was alone with Xavien in a quiet place, he inquired, “Has there been any sign of
Luna?”
“Yeah, she’s been shopping, watching movies, indulging in gourmet food, and updating her social media. However, she hasn’t contacted anyone else.” Xavien found it peculiar too.
Sean pondered for a moment and said, “Keep an eye on her. Don’t let your guard down.”
Xavien nodded and left.
Sean took out his phone and moved to a secluded spot to make a call.
Once the call was answered, he asked in a low voice, “Any progress on the matter? We’ve had an unexpected development here, and I’m worried I won’t be able to control the situation. Things might go completely awry.”
“What’s happened?” the voice on the other end inquired.
“I can’t be sure yet, but I thought it best to give you all a heads up,” Sean stated.
After the person on the other end responded, Sean hung up.
He knew he couldn’t afford to be impatient. It was already challenging enough to deal with. the police, and many of his men had been compromised. If they could proceed cautiously and sacrifice fewer people, it would be a good thing. Still… Given the current circumstances, he was afraid that bigger problems might arise later.
Sean contemplated whether he should talk to Luna. Yet, he couldn’t help but consider the fact that getting into contact with Luna would only arouse suspicion. Those who knew him well understood that he wouldn’t engage with Luna privately.

May arrived, and Fairy Meadow unveiled a part of its summer collection, considering some cities experienced summer early.
Early in the morning, Abigail received a call from the CEO of Leap Gaming Technology. informing her that the mini-program had made initial progress and that he was sending the beta version over.
“You work fast…” Abigail was somewhat surprised. It had only been half a month; were they all workaholics over at their company?
“We had a foundation to start with. For our team, creating a mini-program is a piece of cake,” the CEO of Leap Gaming Technology said with a confident smile.
Abigail requested him to send it over and opened the mini-program.
While the mini-program seemed simple, it was quite impressive.
“It’s quite refined. Was this attempted before?” Abigail operated the program while asking the CEO of Leap Gaming Technology.
“You’re smart, Miss Quinn. We initially planned to create a customized idol mobile game, incorporating Al customization. Unfortunately, due to constantly changing rules for applying game licenses, the desktop version simply couldn’t be approved. So we had to put it on. hold. I didn’t expect it to be usable this time.” The CEO’s voice held a hint of amusement.

“Indeed, I was wondering… Can it be linked to the official Fairy Meadow online store?” Abigail inquired.
“It should be possible, but there’s a downside I want to mention. Other clothing brands won’t be compatible, making it exclusively yours,” the CEO explained.
Abigail understood his point. To make it exclusive, she’d have to pay a hefty fee for the copyright. Obviously, the CEO wanted to maximize profits with this exclusivity. So, he’d either charge an exorbitant fee or ask for a share of the profits….
“I understand your line of thought, but the exclusive fee isn’t that substantial. Plus, it’s a one- time deal. In my opinion, it might be better to promote it widely. Those willing to pay can embed it, but Fairy Meadow should have priority for the first six months,” Abigail suggested.
The CEO of Leap Gaming Technology also understood that Abigail’s proposal was reasonable.
She also had a point by setting a six-month period for Fairy Meadow to have priority over the program. If shoppers liked the mini-program, sales for Fairy Meadow would undoubtedly increase.
Regardless… if she wanted to use it first, that was also fine. He would consider Fairy Meadow

as a testing ground. If the customers there liked it, they could go ahead and promote it. That way, success would come more quickly.
“Alright, I’ll go with your suggestion. If you have any feedback, feel free to let us know so we can make adjustments soon and aim for a June launch,” the CEO agreed readily.
“That works. I don’t have any specific suggestions. I think what you’ve done is quite splendid. However, I noticed that you’ve left out the AI customization feature,” Abigail still wanted to experience the power of AI.
“The team thought that since it’s just for dressing up, they didn’t include it to save memory space,” the CEO responded.
Abigail fell silent for a moment before saying, “Maybe it’s better to add it. What if customers. start enjoying raising their virtual avatars?”
After all, those virtual avatar-raising games were quite popular, weren’t they?
“Sure, I’ll go with your suggestion,” the CEO agreed to that as well. Since they were already doing it, discarding it would be a waste.
Abigail eagerly awaited the launch of the mini-program after ending the call.
With the rapid advancement of modern technology, one had to stay at the forefront of technology to earn more money, even in the fashion industry.
For the mini-program’s launch, Abigail spent a considerable amount of time studying the app. Eventually, she painstakingly created a custom virtual avatar using the facial and b*dy customization features according to her own photo and specific b*dy measurements.
It took her almost a week to fine-tune her virtual self before she was satisfied enough to send it to the CEO of Leap Gaming Technology.
“You’ve done a great job with this customization. These guys are really talented in making the app; it looks so realistic!”
