There is no shortage of headlines around the world about sudden jackpot wins.
And because this kind of news is supported by real money, it is more convincing than those marketing accounts dedicated to instilling "chicken soup for the soul" and "free prostitution" among readers.
Soon, people who had been on the fence before changed their approach and entered the game one by one "without fear of death".
This is a realistic portrayal of the fact that no one is doing business that is losing money, but there is no shortage of people doing business that can make money. It is also the psychology of ordinary people.
Huo Shaoheng, Lu Jin, Lu Yuan, and Song Jinning have been paying attention to the progress of the situation.
Three days passed, and as more and more people entered and came out, not only did the players who had fainted before come back to life, but they also brought back big prizes one after another.
So the "Your Life" (Second Life) online game, which was once feared by everyone, suddenly became a popular game again.
Of course, as more and more people enter, the probability of finding relatives who were trapped inside becomes smaller and smaller.
At the same time, the chance of winning the big prize is getting lower and lower.
Huo Shaoheng sat in front of his computer, looked at the data, shook his head, and said, "As a result, the number of people going in to play is still increasing."
Lu Yuan was very puzzled and frowned: "How is this different from ordinary street scams?"
If Song Jinning hadn't almost been harmed, and Gu Nianzhi had been unconscious, Lu Yuan would have almost thought that those "50 million players" were all shills...
"Of course there is a difference." Song Jinning also said while holding a hand-held tablet computer to simulate the game model he made near Calculation Road: "Street scams are simple and crude, and can only deceive greedy people. But this game still has a certain technical content of… "
"What's the technical content? I'd like to hear the details." Lu Yuan looked like he was asking for advice humbly.
Lu Jin said seriously: "Of course this is not a street scam, he is much taller!"
"large and luxurious?"
"Well, now it's not called 'street scam', but now it's called 'online live streaming to get rid of poverty and become rich'." Lu Jian snorted and said sarcastically, "It does have technical content. The platform is different."
Huo Shaoheng also smiled and said lightly: "Yes, for example, it used to be called illegal fundraising, but now it's called crowdfunding. That's the difference."
Lu Yuan twitched his lips and couldn't help but hit these two people: "No matter what they are called, they have already achieved angel fund, Series A, and Series B financing, and now they are starting to show off their talents..."
Song Jinning stroked his forehead, "Let's follow up and investigate those who log in to the game to see what this game looks like in their eyes."
"This is feasible." Huo Shaoheng nodded, "I'll arrange it."
When he takes action, it is not so simple and crude.
Soon, a theme platform APP appeared silently on social media, "Xihu—Share the Your Life online game story you just compiled."
There is only one requirement for posting, which is to log in to the platform with a Your Life game account that has been authenticated and logged in in the past three days.
This is how you prove to be a true gamer.
Because time was tight, Huo Shaoheng approached General Ji to apply. After obtaining the approval and authorization from the cabinet and parliament, he used certain administrative means.
So almost overnight, the platform "Xihu" suddenly appeared in large and small online push notifications, and TV was also flooded with advertisements for this platform.
And blatantly told netizens that this is a new platform, and the first person to join it will become famous.
In the age of social media, popularity is the top priority.
No matter what, as long as it becomes popular.
Because when it becomes popular, there will be traffic and it will bring actual benefits of real money.
And this benefit is even more astonishing than getting a one-time jackpot like getting lucky in that Your Life game.
Besides, not everyone can win the grand prize, but in the new platform "Xihu", there are still many opportunities to become popular.
Lu Jin carefully designed backdoor measures for this theme platform, of course, without Huo Shaoheng's "knowledge".
Zhao Liangze helps with the technical maintenance of this theme platform.
He stared at the "back door" made by Lu Jin with his mouth open, and cold sweat broke out on his head.
"Lu... General Lu, with you, those who log in to the platform with their game accounts can just... share information with us at any time!"
Lu Jin calmly said "Yeah", "... Very simple mirror synchronization technology. As long as they click 'Accept' the APP's information sharing request."
"Kekeke... does this user still have privacy?" Zhao Liangze still has a little bit of Internet conscience. These were some of the beliefs and principles shared by the first batch of people who surfed the Internet when the Internet first emerged.
Of course, that no longer exists.
Lu Jin rolled his eyes, "What kind of privacy? You downloaded my APP and you still want privacy? Besides, I only need to share their information after logging into the game, and I don't want to look at the messy and ugly things on their phones."
"...You haven't seen it, how do you know it's a mess and shameful thing?" Yin Shixiong subconsciously closed his phone.
Lu Jin refused to answer such idiotic questions.
…
After another three days, the "Xihu" APP was linked to the most popular online game Your Life to gain popularity, and coupled with strong administrative support, it finally opened up. The number of people logging in increased exponentially, and even foreign online game players. Joined in.
Because this platform supports communication in different languages and operating systems.
And Lu Jin and Huo Shaoheng got more and more information about this online game.
…
In the large-screen conference room of the Special Operations Division headquarters building, Lu Jin, Huo Shaoheng, and Lu Yuan sat here and looked at the game screens shared over the past few days.
"Hello, player No. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX, how can I help you?"
"I want to find my dad. He is over sixty years old. He fell into a coma in this game two weeks ago. How can I find him?"
A sweet female voice like Apple's Siri sounded: "Are you looking for your father? I have some basic information here. If you can pass these levels, you can find your father. I wish you good luck!"
Then, the player in his thirties began to clear the level.
As expected, he failed at the last level and was kicked out of the system.
Of course, he did not give up, but kept trying and logged in again.
Repeat the previous level over and over again.
Lu Jian looked at it impatiently for a while, then stood up and said, "You are so stupid, how can you still save people?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the player unexpectedly cleared the level!
Seeing his father walking towards him with a smile, the player was ecstatic, hugging his father in the game and jumping and shouting: "Dad! I finally found you! I'm rich!"
Lu Jin: "!!!"
He was almost furious: "This is intentional! This is cheating!"
Lu Yuan said coolly: "Just because you can't pass the level, don't say that others are cheating if they pass it... Playing games is just like stock trading. No one can figure out the real rules and probabilities. It's all about luck. Seriously. You lose."
"I don't believe it!" Lu Jin was cruel and downloaded all the information collected by their platform into his own quantum computer, and competed with the opponent's game AI on big data algorithms, intending to compete hard.
However, I don’t know if the opponent’s game AI noticed something was wrong, or for some other reason, it suddenly announced that it would cancel the identity restrictions of logged-in players, and everyone could log in freely.
As soon as such an announcement was made, the traffic of Huo Shaoheng and his "Xihu" platform also increased suddenly. They underestimated the traffic, and the server was paralyzed by the huge amount of information brought by the sudden increase in logged-in players.
Zhao Liangze repaired nervously, and then discovered that their mirror synchronization function was restricted. Players who logged in to their platform no longer brought in-game images and information, only simple player account information.
To put it simply, their "third-party" plug-in is banned.
"... This AI is really smart!" Lu Jin crossed his arms and touched his chin with one hand, standing thoughtfully behind Zhao Liangze, watching him write pieces of code quickly.
Huo Shaoheng pushed the door open and came in, nodding to Lu Jian, "General, Ozawa, I'll leave the network to you. I want to go out with Nobita."
"Master Huo, where are you going?" Zhao Liangze turned around nervously and looked at Huo Shaoheng's outfit.
Is this a mission
With Huo Shaoheng's current status and identity, he rarely goes out on field missions.
Yin Shixiong followed Huo Shaoheng and stuck his head out to say hello to Zhao Liangze, "You guys have fun, we're going out for a walk!"
Lu Jin blinked, "Shao Heng, don't you want to play in the game? There are no identity restrictions now."
Huo Shaoheng smiled, shook his head and said, "No. It wants to trap us in the game, and I don't want to do what it wants."
