Zayd Al-Maktoum leaned against the railing of his palace balcony, the Dubai morning sun casting a golden sheen over the city's glass spires. The Burj Al Arab gleamed like a pearl, while below, the urban pulse quickened—drones buzzed with deliveries, supercars prowled Sheikh Zayed Road, and influencers snapped selfies by the Dubai Frame. Five days into his rebirth from Zhang Wei, a noodle-slinging nobody, to a Dubai prince, Zayd had a $150,000 stake in *GreenCycleAI*, a Smart Water Bottle dominating fitness markets, a Smart Irrigation System greening deserts, a Solar-Powered Delivery Drone ready to fly, and a Holographic Retail Kiosk blueprint poised to redefine shopping. But his cousin Khalid's schemes were as relentless as a sandstorm, and the [Infinite Tycoon System]'s latest quest was pushing Zayd to outshine the city's neon glow.
*Ding!* The holographic smartphone materialized, its light clashing with the sunrise. The system's voice, slick as a Dubai dealmaker, buzzed in Zayd's head: *"New Quest: Launch a pilot retail program for OasisTech by June 25, 2025, 12:00 PM GST. Reward: Blueprint for AI-Powered Energy Grid (Optimizes power distribution, cuts waste by 35%, integrates renewables). Penalty: You host a desert camping vlog for influencers, and those ring lights will roast you, host. Time left: 6 days, 4 hours. Step one: Set up Holographic Retail Kiosks in Dubai Mall by June 22, 9:00 AM GST. Alert: Khalid's bribing a mall inspector to flag your kiosks as unsafe."*
Zayd's qahwa nearly spilled. "A camping vlog? I'd rather herd falcons in a sandstorm."
*"Focus, host,"* the system quipped. *"Dubai Mall's the perfect stage—20 million visitors a year. Your kiosks will sell OasisTech's irrigation kits and water bottles. The Smart Irrigation System's got 2,000 preorders from Saudi farms, and #HydrateLikeAPrince hit 7M posts. But Khalid's inspector hits tomorrow, 10:00 AM GST. Neutralize him."*
Zayd nodded, the Smart Water Bottle's global takeover fueling his fire—European gyms stocked it, and a UAE hospital chain integrated it into rehab programs, raving about its health app sync. The Smart Irrigation System was blooming too, with Qatar's agriculture ministry testing it and tweeting #WaterTheFuture. The Solar-Powered Delivery Drone had farmers in Oman buzzing, with 50 units ordered for remote deliveries. The world was digesting his tech, but Khalid's bribe could dim *OasisTech*'s shine. Zayd called Noura, his PR wizard, as he slid into his Maserati GranTurismo (password: *DesertStar77*). "Noura, Khalid's rigging a mall inspection. Can you spin it?"
Noura's voice crackled with mischief. "Got it, boss. I'll drop a teaser at 3:00 PM today: '*OasisTech* unveils shopping's future at Dubai Mall.' Plus, I'll dig up dirt on the inspector—bet he's got a shady X trail. Want a drone flyover for hype?" Zayd grinned. "Always. Make it epic."
**June 19, 2025, 10:30 AM GST**
Zayd met his *OasisTech* team—Fatima, Hassan, and Noura—at the Dubai Tech Hub to prep the retail pilot. Fatima had designed a compact irrigation kit for home farms, synced with the Smart Irrigation System's app. Hassan built a Holographic Retail Kiosk prototype—3D displays showcasing *OasisTech* products, with AI chatbots closing sales. The Financial Trend Predictor (Level 1) flagged a 45% surge in interactive retail, with malls seeking immersive tech. Zayd tested the kiosk, buying a water bottle via voice command. "This'll make Black Friday look like a yard sale," he said. Noura added, "I'll stream the launch live—global reach."
**June 19, 2025, 3:00 PM GST**
Noura's teaser video dropped, showing a kiosk hologram of a desert farm irrigated by *OasisTech*. X lit up—#OasisTechRetail trended with 800K mentions, and Dubai Mall's official account retweeted. The Smart Irrigation System's global buzz grew, with a Moroccan co-op ordering 500 kits. But Amira, Zayd's lawyer, texted: the inspector, one Jamal Khouri, had a history of taking bribes, linked to Khalid's shell company. Evidence was thin but mounting.
**June 20, 2025, 8:00 AM GST**
Zayd arrived at Dubai Mall, a retail colossus with fountains, aquariums, and enough gold to sink a yacht. His team set up three kiosks near the main atrium, their holograms dazzling shoppers. At 10:00 AM, Jamal Khouri strutted in, clipboard in hand, flanked by a mall official. "Safety concerns," he barked, pointing at a kiosk's power cable. "This fails code." The system pinged: *"He's lying. Cable's certified. Show the compliance docs and call his bluff."*
Zayd handed over the paperwork, smiling. "Jamal, our kiosks passed EU and UAE standards. Care to double-check?" The mall official, sensing a scam, frowned. Noura, livestreaming, zoomed in on Jamal's nervous tic. X users pounced, digging up his shady posts. By 10:30 AM, Jamal backed off, muttering about a "misunderstanding." The official apologized, greenlighting the kiosks.
**June 20, 2025, 2:00 PM GST**
The kiosks went live, holograms demoing irrigation kits and water bottles. Shoppers swarmed—200 kits sold in an hour, and water bottles flew at 500 units. Noura's stream hit 1M views, with malls in Riyadh and Doha inquiring about kiosks. The Smart Water Bottle's hospital deals expanded to Oman, and the irrigation system's UN demo was scheduled for July. Zayd tested a drone delivery, sending a kit to a Sharjah farm in 12 minutes, earning farmer cheers on X.
**June 21–24, 2025**
Zayd's team scaled the pilot, installing five more kiosks across Dubai Mall. Sales hit 1,500 kits and 2,000 water bottles by June 23, with the predictor showing a 50% retail tech boom. Noura's VR ads let users "tour" an *OasisTech* farm, boosting preorders. Khalid's silence worried Zayd—Amira reported he'd hired a PR firm to spin a new smear, set for June 25, 7:00 AM GST, claiming *OasisTech* overpromised results.
**June 24, 2025, 6:00 PM GST**
Zayd countered with a preemptive strike. He hosted a mall event, inviting farmers and influencers to test the kiosks. Fatima demoed the irrigation kit, watering a live palm display, while Hassan flew a drone with a water bottle drop. Noura streamed it, debunking Khalid's smear before it landed. X users roasted Khalid with #KhalidLies memes, and Gulf Business praised *OasisTech*'s transparency.
**June 25, 2025, 11:00 AM GST**
The pilot was a smash—3,000 kits and 4,500 water bottles sold, with malls in Abu Dhabi and Kuwait signing for kiosks. *Ding!* The system flashed: *"Quest Complete! Blueprint downloading… AI-Powered Energy Grid acquired. Bonus: +950 Tycoon Points for crushing Khalid's plot. New Quest: Deploy OasisTech in a major Saudi project by July 2, 2025, 12:00 PM GST. Reward: Blueprint for Quantum Data Storage. Penalty: You judge a camel beauty pageant."*
Zayd high-fived his team at the mall. "We're not just selling tech—we're shaping futures." Fatima grinned. "My sensors better get funding." Hassan added, "And my drones." Noura tweeted: *OasisTech redefines retail. Next stop: the world. #WaterTheFuture*
**June 25, 2025, 12:00 PM GST**
Driving back to the palace, Zayd eyed the skyline, a mosaic of ambition. The Holographic Retail Kiosk was a hit—malls in Singapore and London wanted demos, ensuring global digestion. The AI-Powered Energy Grid could power *OasisTech*'s factories, but Khalid's next move loomed. Amira texted: "Khalid's meeting Saudi investors. Watch out."
Zayd wasn't Zhang Wei, dodging rain for tips. He was Prince Zayd, with a team, a retail empire, and a system turning dreams into holograms. Khalid could scheme, but Zayd was lighting up the desert.
