Teenagers, the main demographic of the game, I deal with them every day. When I was their age, the world was still dominated by video games. Who would have thought that children today would be able to play fully virtual online games run with brain-controlled technology.
I have been working at this gaming company for several years. My first job was as a dealer in a virtual casino. The advantage of working in this environment is that even if the opponent loses and becomes furious, he cannot suddenly pull out his gun. Fire at you.
I still remember that I was promoted two months after joining the company. I think the management discovered my talent in gambling. In fact, in my opinion, gambling skills are the same as other skills. If you want to be superb, you just need to work hard. To put it bluntly, people with talent just spend less time accumulating than those without talent. The kind of skills that rely purely on There is no such thing as a guy whose talent can surpass everyone else, at least I haven't seen one.
After I was promoted to the lobby manager of the casino, my colleagues started gossiping. In the past, they always teased me as a "cold-blooded murderer". I accepted that because I was really not good at talking and didn't like to laugh. Unexpectedly, after my promotion The discussion about me began to develop towards the type of "foreign expert" who hides his secrets, and became more and more intense, which made me a slightly famous person.
So, not long after, a player with the ID name "God of Gamblers" challenged me. That's really funny. A player challenges a GM to a gambling contest in the game.
To be honest, I didn't take this matter too seriously at the time, but the company seemed to be preparing to hype this matter up, and secretly promised that if I won, there would be substantial rewards.
There was an easy profit in front of me, and I had no reason not to take it, so I thought, let's win against him, win thoroughly, and create a feeling that I am invincible at the poker table, once and for all.
After that gambling game, the "God of Gamblers" never went online again. I heard from my colleagues in the data department that he had deleted his account. Several months later, they came over to tell me that the player had changed his ID and was more low-key. The vest is back in the game again, haha, today's young people are really interesting.
In short, as a winner, I did get a reward from the company, was promoted to the general manager of the casino, and had my own office, which was just an office in the game. Of course, there is no point in giving me an office in reality. Except for a few departments and leaders who have no real work content, most people in the company stay in the game cabin during work, including me.
Over the past few years, my life has been smooth sailing. The only disturbance was the "big crash" incident that shocked the global online game industry a year ago. That incident caused the company a lot of losses, a lot of data was lost, countless players complained, and the technical department Colleagues said that they could neither find out the cause nor solve the situation. It took the company a week to restore the normal operation of the game. Fortunately, players are relatively easy to fool, and most people shut up contentedly after receiving some meaningless virtual compensation.
Three days after the "big collapse", HL actually sent people to our company to walk around. It seems that some of the rumors heard in the past are true. The super powerful AI system of this game is indeed related to some of the empire's technologies. , it is estimated that they are worried that someone will use the same method to invade and destroy the computer system of the "government" agency.
But every time I think about the day of the "Crash", all I remember is a guy who killed me to pieces at the gambling table. He was a lunatic with bad conduct. I still haven't figured out what he used. Technique, and the data about him has never been found. I even suspected that the incident that day was directly related to him, but as time went by, I didn't care too much.
Later, the peaceful days continued. I really liked this kind of ordinary life. If I could live like this since I was a child, maybe I would also have dreams and have the opportunity to realize them. Now, my dream is to maintain this hard-won peace. I already have a stable job, considerable income, and have made some friends. In the dead of night, I would wonder if I could start a family and start a business like a normal person...
