Earth.
The Chinese Cybersecurity Task Force, Wang Meng and others' investigation into "Apocalypse Online" has reached a new stage.
All the clues were lost when they reached a young man named "Cheng Shaofeng".
Apart from knowing that he once served as the director of virtual reality game project development in the Duoyu Game Department, there is no other progress.
Not only did their task force have no clues, but other departments, even with their cooperation, were unable to find the address of the host running "End of the World OL", nor were they able to find any staff related to this game.
They are so mysterious that they seem to... not exist.
It is hard to imagine that such good confidentiality can be achieved in a game company.
By the way, Cheng Shaofeng’s whereabouts is also a mystery. The local police cooperated with the special investigation team and watched all the surveillance cameras around the community where Cheng Shaofeng lived three times, but no trace of this person was found, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.
After all the clues were lost, the task force received orders from above.
Four words: Enter the game!
There are already two people in their group, Wei Long and Fang Gang, who have been lurking among the players. They have been fighting and killing as the game progresses these days. They are not outstanding but not lagging behind either.
Currently, both of them are level 6, one is an Inquisitor and the other is a Barbarian. They each have high-quality equipment and a small savings.
After the base was moved, the two of them deduced a very likely fact through the lord's few words: the game was about to recruit the next batch of players, and there would be quite a few of them!
The organization that received the inside information operated extremely efficiently and immediately drew talents from all walks of life from the soldiers to join the game.
"Hmm... Good leader, I understand."
After Wang Meng hung up the phone, his expression became a little strange.
He pulled Wei Long out of the game and said, "Just try yelling at me."
Wei Long: “Don’t dare!”
"It's not about whether you dare or not, just roar if I tell you to!"
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Long tentatively called out, "Stupid... idiot?"
"Roar as loud as you can!"
"Fool!"
"Scream at me with your gaming skills!"
"Fool!
!”
Wei Long subconsciously used a battle roar, and a wave of sound came over, shocking Wang Meng.
"Hiss~ I seem to have lost my memory for a second just now, and I'm still a little dizzy..."
Wei Long: “Cough cough cough!”
"Captain Wang, my throat hurts..."
Now, Wang Meng believed what was said above.
"It's really useful. No wonder Fang Gang always says his shooting skills have improved. I thought he was obsessed with playing games, but... maybe he really applied the skills in the game to real life."
"So... this is memory implantation technology?"
"So this is what the higher-ups want..."
Ordinary people may not be able to understand how great an opportunity is hidden behind this, but he knows... If it is really possible to instill other people's skills or memories into another person's brain without affecting that person's personality, it would be too terrifying.
Let's put it this way... mass production academician.
One of the reasons why human technology has progressed so slowly over the years is that humans have accumulated too much knowledge. It is extremely time-consuming to stand on the shoulders of giants and move forward. Many people have only managed to climb onto the shoulders of giants in their entire lives, and before they have the chance to move forward... they die of old age.
This is also why the top researchers in scientific research are all old men and women... They spend most of their lives learning the knowledge and theories left by their predecessors, and only when they are old are they able to conduct new research.
This shocking discovery immediately made the upper echelons raise the game of "Apocalypse OL" to a strategic level!
Countless outstanding talents in China are waiting for the call of the game.
A person of considerable influence in China also solemnly left an invitation to have a conversation with Cheng Shaofeng on the forum in an official capacity.
Those who are at large will be punished by the law!
But if you say that you have brought back the technology of 5nm lithography machines and B2 bombers... then the law may give you a break.
What thief? I didn't see him!
From then on, the country had an invisible rich man who did not want to reveal his name.
This is probably the mental journey of the person above.
It is definitely illegal for "End of the World OL" to openly conduct internal testing without going through the review! But if you say that the core technology is so strong... it is not that there is no green channel to use.
... ...
Other countries were slightly slower to respond.
After all... In the eyes of many people, "Apocalypse OL" is a product with no technology, and it is hard to say whether it exists or not. If they really say that there is any breakthrough technology, it may be difficult to convince the people above. The key is that their own country has not even entered the game to play it!
On the contrary, some up-loaders in the gaming area and people in the gaming newspaper have heard of it, but it is not easy to publish related content without video footage and accurate information. They just ask their friends to find gaming companies to cooperate with, see if there is any demand for publicity and promotion (to make a living), and make appointments themselves.
So... at 6 o'clock in the morning, the official website of "Apocalypse OL" released the "Apocalypse OL 2.0 Version Update Announcement".
The vast majority of players who have made reservations are still Chinese.
“First of all, I would like to thank all the players who participated in the internal beta test of versions 1.0 to 1.3. Your participation has made the world of "End of World Online" complete. We have also adjusted many bugs. After my colleagues and I checked and evaluated with big data, the game is currently operating very stably, and our servers are ready to accommodate more players. Now I announce... The internal beta version 2.0 of "End of World Online" is officially launched!”
"300 spots will be available for this internal test. Players who want to make an appointment, please write a personal introduction and post it below this post. Quickly describe your advantages. Replies with videos and pictures will receive more attention from planners. Thank you for your cooperation."
“The content of this version update is as follows:”
“1. Change the player’s birth address to the Huo Village base which can accommodate more players;”
“2. The night world of “End of the World Online” is officially open. There is no limit on the offline time of all players, and the total online time per day is often extended to 16 hours;”
“3. Add text translation function to all players’ smart watches;”
“4. Enrich daily tasks and increase the experience rewards for life-related players;”
“5. Increase the monster’s explosion rate and add a variety of inlays, materials, and equipment;”
“6. Add irregular random events: City defense battle, kill the monsters attacking the city to get the lord’s reward;”
“7. Added a new treasure hunting robot rental service. Players only need to spend iron coins to add new services to their smart watches;”
“8. The bug that the lord often sleeps is difficult to fix for the time being. A new Shadow Guard lord is added, who can make decisions on behalf of the lord;”
“Other details have been optimized and adjusted. Please enter the game to experience it... This update is a non-stop update. You can enjoy the new version content from now on.”
Suddenly, the official website exploded!
This big news directly drove countless eagerly waiting players crazy!
Washing Machine: "End of the World Online is awesome! This is a conscientious game company! They never promise anything, just slow internal testing, slow updates, slow players! I have excellent language skills! People nicknamed me the modern Gongsun Yan, choose me! I will give the base a diplomatic governance!"
Yueyue: "It doesn't matter. I read this announcement and players' posts every day. I can already imagine a game in my mind. Playing "Text Version of Doomsday OL" every day is more fun than practicing text cultivation!"
Foodie Magician: "Damn, electronic hand pump? Absolutely amazing!"
I have my own style: "Oh? Are the actors anxious? The internal beta 2.0 is out? I have to say... The word games on this website are quite interesting. I don't go to the zoo anymore. I think the monkey shows are not as exciting as your word games."
Shadow Night God: "That's right! Isn't it true that some people like to lick the game planners? I suggest that all the internal test quotas be given to those who lick their names, and normal people like us won't even look at them! Newbies, don't make reservations! Last time, I clicked it once and my QQ number was stolen! All the DNF equipment was disassembled!"
After saying that, Ye Shen immediately started switching accounts and made reservations for his other 9 small accounts.
The little mushroom picking girl: "True and false, false and true, every time I see everyone's different opinions, really... I'm tired, destroy it, the planner deceived me once, see how hard you work, I lost a few dollars in my WeChat account to you."
Monologue: "Hmm? Special skills... I can complete the task of human reproduction in a very short time, does that count?"
200: “6!”
People live for Sakurajima Mai: "I can see... you have good verbal expression skills."
In addition to the players who are just there for fun, there are also a large number of regular players pouring into the post afterwards!
Long Yi: "Occupation: hacker, currently serving as a national network security consultant. Below are my work credentials and resume..."
Xiao Ma Ge: "Occupation: Sniper, won the sniper championship in the army for ten consecutive times, good at performing ultra-long-range shooting missions, this is my personal honor and photo..."
The quality of those who post later is very high!
Basically, he comes with a full-level skill, and can be said to be a very high-quality candidate.
The announcement was issued at 6 o'clock in the evening in the wasteland, which was exactly 6 o'clock in the morning on Earth.
It happens to be the time when players usually go offline.
Xigou had just quit when he found this announcement.
The discussion group went into an uproar!
Agent Feng: "What the hell? I thought the watch translation function and treasure-hunting robot were given to me by the Lord alone! It turns out they are new version updates!"
He swallowed the septic tank: "To be honest, the updated version is very practical and solves many of our pain points, especially the inability to communicate with NPCs other than the lord... It makes me sick!"
Uncle Tian next door: "Wuhu~Life players have finally been strengthened! Our experience is indeed too little. @墨染剑潇@奶白的雪子."
Xigou: "300 new players... all come to our current spawn point. It looks like we are entering a real online game environment this time!"
Yaohu: "Correct, our advantage is obvious, but the monsters in the new area have higher experience points than the pillagers in the four mountains, and the upgrade speed of new players... will definitely be faster than before. If we want to maintain our advantage, we have to stay ahead of the version."
Polar Bear: "Stop talking and get online! Have you ever seen the wasteland at 10 o'clock in the evening?"
