Zayd Al-Maktoum stood on the rooftop of his palace penthouse, the Dubai skyline a dazzling array of glass and steel under the morning sun. The city thrummed with energy—Bugattis growled through Sheikh Zayed Road, drones zipped with luxury packages, and the Burj Khalifa gleamed like a futuristic spear. Seven days into his rebirth from Zhang Wei, a noodle-delivery nobody, to a Dubai prince, Zayd had a $150,000 stake in *GreenCycleAI*, a Smart Water Bottle flooding global markets, a Smart Irrigation System greening deserts, a Solar-Powered Delivery Drone soaring through sands, a Holographic Retail Kiosk redefining malls, and a Quantum Data Storage blueprint poised to secure his empire. But his cousin Khalid's schemes were as relentless as a desert wind, and the [Infinite Tycoon System]'s latest quest was pushing Zayd to conquer the ultimate urban frontier.
*Ding!* The holographic smartphone flared to life, its glow clashing with the sunrise. The system's voice, slick as a Dubai tech expo host, buzzed in Zayd's head: *"New Quest: Integrate OasisTech into a UAE smart city project by July 10, 2025, 12:00 PM GST. Reward: Blueprint for Neural Traffic System (AI-driven traffic flow, cuts congestion by 40%, syncs with city grids). Penalty: You host a dune buggy race for influencers at the Liwa Festival, and those vloggers crash worse than your old scooter, host. Time left: 7 days, 4 hours. Step one: Pitch to Masdar City's board in Abu Dhabi on July 5, 10:00 AM GST. Alert: Khalid's pitching a rival system to Masdar, claiming yours is unstable."*
Zayd's grip tightened on his glass of rosewater sharbat. "A dune buggy race? I'd rather teach falcons to vlog."
*"Focus, host,"* the system quipped. *"Masdar's the greenest smart city on Earth—perfect for OasisTech's irrigation and drones. Your kiosks hit 10,000 units sold globally, and #OasisTechRetail's at 3M posts. The Smart Water Bottle's at 25,000 units, and Saudi's Al-Ahsa pilot saved 70% water. But Khalid's meeting Masdar execs today, 3:00 PM GST, to trash your tech. Shut him down."*
Zayd smirked. The Smart Water Bottle was a global juggernaut—hospitals in Kuwait and wellness apps in Sydney integrated its health tracking, with #HydrateLikeAPrince at 10M posts. The Smart Irrigation System was blooming, with 5,000 preorders from UAE resorts and a UN demo set for July 15. The Solar-Powered Delivery Drone delivered 200 kits to Qatar farms, and the Holographic Retail Kiosk had malls in Tokyo and Paris signing contracts, with tech forums calling it "retail's next wave." The Quantum Data Storage was being tested for *OasisTech*'s servers, securing data like a digital fortress. The world was devouring his tech, but Khalid's rival pitch could unplug Zayd's smart city dreams. He called Noura, his PR maven, as he slid into his Maserati GranTurismo (password: *DesertStar77*). "Noura, Khalid's slandering *OasisTech* to Masdar. Can you counter?"
Noura's voice sparkled with mischief. "On it, boss. I'll drop a video at 2:00 PM today—Masdar farmers praising your irrigation, plus a meme of Khalid's 'system' as a wind-up toy. I'll tag Masdar's board. Want a drone light show for the pitch?" Zayd grinned. "Make it brighter than Dubai's skyline."
**July 3, 2025, 11:00 AM GST**
Zayd rallied his *OasisTech* team—Fatima, Hassan, and Noura—at the Dubai Tech Hub to prep the Masdar pitch. Fatima had upgraded the irrigation system's AI to integrate with smart city grids, optimizing water for urban farms. Hassan linked the Solar-Powered Delivery Drone to Masdar's logistics, cutting delivery times by 30%. The Financial Trend Predictor (Level 1) flagged a 55% surge in smart city investments, with Masdar seeking sustainable tech. Zayd tested the Holographic Retail Kiosk, now selling irrigation kits and water bottles in Dubai Mall at 12,000 units. "This could power Masdar's retail," he said. Noura nodded. "I'll set up a kiosk demo at their HQ."
**July 3, 2025, 2:00 PM GST**
Noura's video hit X, showing UAE farmers irrigating rooftop gardens with *OasisTech*, saving 68% water. The Khalid meme—a toy sprinkler labeled "Khalid's Tech"—went viral, with #WaterTheFuture at 2M posts. The Smart Water Bottle's buzz fueled it, with 30,000 units sold and a Bahrain marathon partnering for giveaways. But Amira, Zayd's lawyer, texted: Khalid had bribed a Masdar analyst to leak a report, due July 5, 8:00 AM GST, claiming *OasisTech*'s drones crash in heat.
**July 4, 2025, 9:00 AM GST**
Zayd flew to Abu Dhabi on a private jet, landing at Al Bateen Executive Airport by 10:30 AM. He sent Amira's pipe sabotage footage (from Chapter 3) and drone test data to Masdar's CEO, with a note: "Verify our reliability." By noon, the analyst retracted, citing "erroneous data," spooked by Amira's legal warning. Zayd prepped with his team at Masdar City's HQ, a green oasis of solar panels and wind towers.
**July 5, 2025, 10:00 AM GST**
The pitch was in Masdar's boardroom, a sleek space with holographic displays. Zayd, in a tailored thobe with emerald cufflinks, faced the sustainability board, led by Dr. Amina Al-Zahiri, a sharp-eyed urban planner. Khalid lurked in the back, smirking. Zayd began: "Dr. Amina, *OasisTech*'s Smart Irrigation System saves 68% water, boosts urban farms, and integrates with Masdar's grid. Our drones deliver kits in 15 minutes, and our kiosks sell sustainability."
Hassan flew a drone, dropping a kit onto a mock rooftop garden. Fatima demoed the irrigation, watering plants via app. Noura's kiosk hologram showcased sales data, and drones outside projected *OasisTech: Powering Smart Cities*. The board clapped, but Khalid interjected: "Your drones overheat." Zayd grinned. "Tested in 52°C dunes—zero crashes. Unlike your 'wind-up toy,' Khalid." The room laughed, and Khalid's smirk vanished.
Dr. Amina nodded. "Thirty million dirhams for integration into Masdar's Phase 3, 8% equity." Zayd countered, "Five percent, and we co-design." Amina agreed. Deal sealed.
**July 6–9, 2025**
The deal sparked a media frenzy—Reuters ran "Prince Zayd's *OasisTech* Greens Masdar City," and smart city forums predicted a UAE boom. The Smart Irrigation System's Masdar pilot irrigated 500 hectares, with UN observers praising its efficiency. The Smart Water Bottle hit 35,000 units sold, with Dubai wellness apps integrating it. The Holographic Retail Kiosk drew contracts from Singapore malls, and the Solar-Powered Delivery Drone's 150-unit order from Oman went viral on X, ensuring global tech digestion. Zayd tested the Quantum Data Storage, securing *OasisTech*'s servers against hacks.
**July 10, 2025, 11:00 AM GST**
The Masdar integration launched, with *OasisTech* powering urban farms and kiosks. *Ding!* The system flashed: *"Quest Complete! Blueprint downloading… Neural Traffic System acquired. Bonus: +1,050 Tycoon Points for crushing Khalid. New Quest: Expand OasisTech to a global expo by July 18, 2025, 12:00 PM GST. Reward: Blueprint for Autonomous Construction Bot. Penalty: You host a Bedouin cooking class for tourists."*
Zayd high-fived his team at Masdar. "We're not just greening cities—we're building futures." Fatima smirked. "My grid better get funding." Hassan added, "And my drones." Noura tweeted: *OasisTech transforms Masdar. Next: the world. #WaterTheFuture*
**July 10, 2025, 12:00 PM GST**
Driving back to Dubai, Zayd eyed the skyline, a testament to ambition. The Neural Traffic System—AI-driven, congestion-slashing—could streamline *OasisTech*'s logistics. But Amira texted: "Khalid's pitching a rival to expo organizers." Zayd wasn't Zhang Wei, dodging rain for tips. He was Prince Zayd, with a team, a smart city deal, and a system turning deserts into circuits.
