There has never been a shortage of games in this world, especially for the wealthy, who often invent games to while away their abundant time.
Brunas boasts a colossal racecourse where horse races take place daily, allowing people to squander their money and time on bets.
Here, tens of thousands wave their betting slips and scream wildly; however, the vast majority are visitors—after all, locals who work here can't afford such leisure.
The casino is naturally a den of iniquitous consumption, and as Brunas's largest bookie, Tang Mo earned a daily profit that could easily sustain the daily expenses of an infantry battalion.
Many tycoons recklessly spent here, enjoying games that thrilled their nerves and willingly spending thousands of Gold Coins on grand adventures to prove they were alive.
Similarly, the flesh trade in Brunas reached new heights with innovative twists. Here, one could find pleasure houses with unprecedented role-play scenarios.
If you're willing to pay, they offer every imaginable service, from heroic rescues ending in heartfelt rewards, chance jungle encounters with village girls, love at first sight with wartime nurses, to pets transforming into humans to repay favors...
Well, there's nothing you can't play if you can imagine it.
Of course, besides these traditional entertainments, Brunas recently introduced a host of new attractions.
Boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, mixed martial arts... even convict death matches for the thrill-seekers. There are no human rights issues here, so naturally, no complaints about illicit underground fighting rings. Stay tuned for updates on empire
The rich still crave excitement; they had their secret games before, but watching a life-and-death struggle together and being able to wager on the outcome suits the bored nobles and super-rich with money burning holes in their pockets just fine.
Now that there was legal killing, Tang Mo didn't mind revealing even more intriguing activities for all to enjoy.
He carefully cultivated three soccer teams, Northern Ridge Wolves, Brunas Victory, and Jade City—just like that, soccer began to flourish in this other world.
Tang Mo personally attended the first soccer match, and many tycoons and nobles snapped up all the tickets to show their support.
After that, the sport took off, with each match drawing a full house. Eventually, both Brunas Victory and Jade City were defeated by Northern Ridge Wolves, who became the champions of the inaugural club cup.
After a two-month break, the competition would resume, this time with more teams participating—Dragon City Elites and Great Tang Military Academy would join, along with Great Tang Group Workers, Royal Laines, and Ice Crystal City Adventurers...
Furthermore, in the developing city of Laines, an enormous stadium was being constructed to support the potentially prosperous future of soccer.
However, due to limitations in transportation technology, expanding the scale of the soccer league was still not an easy task...
Meanwhile, Tang Mo's Great Tang Group TBA basketball program was also underway. The wealthy, hearing the buzz and witnessing the fervor of soccer, eagerly joined the sports feast.
Following Tang Group's drafted rules, many built their own basketball teams, as this sport had slightly lower requirements for the venue compared to soccer.
Soccer, basketball, boxing, kickboxing, and other sports were regularized or invented by Great Tang Group, instantly enriching people's daily lives.
Conversations became more varied, life more colorful, and before anyone realized it, something new and previously nonexistent began quietly spreading in Brunas.
Yes, the radio! Its advent sent people into a frenzy. They could listen to current affairs and politics at home, hear advertisements for store discounts, get news from other places, and stay up-to-date with the latest local governance policies.
This greatly facilitated the public's life, offering them more exciting private lives—radios would broadcast stories of all sorts, and since Tang Mo had mature experience in this area, his radio stations were very professional from the start.
He developed programs such as story-telling, current affairs news, promotion ads, music songs, sports event broadcasting, among others.
Such a rich array of programs, coupled with the era's scarcity of entertainment, made radios yet another blockbuster product of Great Tang Group.
Their popularity even surpassed that of cars because they were cheaper and more versatile, making radios a hot commodity where one might have to pay extra to get one.
Then Tang Mo offered a complete plan, with soccer, basketball, volleyball, sprinting, marathon, diving, swimming, shot put, discus, hurdles, shooting, fencing, sanda, boxing, wrestling, badminton, tennis, table tennis, archery, weightlifting, equestrian—all listed as competitive events and all to be held in Brunas.
The group that organized the first Olympic Games in another world was unexpectedly a group of student council members from the Great Tang Women's Academy.
This was their first time to shine, and they demonstrated their strength to everyone with their work.
With their planning, the entire Brunas Sports Event was drafted in just 35 days, from rules to qualifications and from details to guidelines, and they did it almost flawlessly.
As the event was organized by a group of female students, the competitions were designed from the start to be gender-separated, marking the first time in this world that women's right to participate in sports competitions was explicitly recognized.
For this world, this may also have been an innovation, as well as a change brought about by the Great Tang Group.
However, at this moment, Tang Mo, the founder of the Great Tang Group, had already turned his attention to something else that was quite interesting—racing!
If there are some romances that some men cannot refuse, then cannons would count as one, flying as another, and racing would definitely make the list.
No man dislikes machinery, and likewise, no man dislikes the clash of machines and the roar of engines. Racing is such a competition that many men find irresistible.
Faster, more furious... Racing is truly a perfect vessel that showcases human technology and mechanical engineering. To surpass, to merge oneself perfectly with the machine, to turn oneself into an extension of the machine, this fascinates many men and excites them.
Compared to a 350 horsepower muscle car, women seem less important. If they could fit this car with a nitrous oxide cylinder, these die-hard men might spend the rest of their days with this car.
To Tang Mo, there was no crazier race that could better advertise how excellent his cars were and how overwhelmingly superior their performance was.
This was a giant advertisement, eagerly anticipated by everyone. His cars, engines, and other technologies, were poised to dominate this field for a century— he would be the absolute ruler of this realm!
It was a competition that promised to rake in money as well as burn through it. Just the research and improvement of engines could consume hundreds of millions or even billions of funds in this pinnacle competition of human mechanical civilization.
And that didn't include the costs of a gigantic venue— football stadiums were trivial in comparison to the race tracks.
But none of that mattered to Tang Mo. He knew that by bringing this venture to life, he would reap countless benefits.
He was like a master painter on a blank canvas, where any stroke he made would become a classic for generations to come.
All he needed to do now was keep making rules, bringing those he was thoroughly familiar with to this world to stay leagues ahead in countless domains.
What's the easiest way to make money? Be the rule-maker in every field! Right now, Tang Mo was like a deity, madly drafting rules in every realm he could touch.
He was the rule-maker for all industries, the omnipotent god who, even in play, was the best— the one who played most lucratively!
"How could anyone's car be faster than yours?" John, who was in charge of the plan, asked with some confusion as he looked over the racing competition plan that Tang Mo had proposed.
"Doesn't this just prove that my car is the best in the world?" Tang Mo asked with a smile.
"Your car is certainly the best in the world," John affirmed without hesitation, not even needing to think.
Tang Mo looked at him, "How do you prove it? In a few months, Shireck will be able to mass-produce their cars, and the Dwarf vehicles should be able to do the same."
"As time goes on, Laines will have their own car companies, Dorne as well; Suthers's car production lines are already almost finished building..." As Tang Mo spoke, he gestured expansively with his hands: "The number of people in this world capable of producing cars might be more than you can count on two hands."
"So, when their cars hit the market, and they start promoting how advanced their cars are, how do we prove ours are better, that there's a reason they're pricier?" Tang Mo pressed.
Then, without waiting for John to respond, Tang Mo continued, "Further, developing new engines needs testing, needs the enhancement of their stability, testing their operation in the most extreme conditions, and all of these can be achieved through competition, right?"
Once the competitions matured, the advertising fees for a single race track could sell for a high price of thousands of Gold Coins, and an entry fee for a car company could sell for more than ten thousand Gold Coins! Tang Mo thought to himself with an inward scoff.
"Go on then! Do as I say... and soon, you'll understand the brilliance of these things," Tang Mo gestured dismissively, feigning deep certainty. This confident demeanor gave John the confidence to proceed without hesitation and begin preparations for the racing competition.
