Chapter 49

From the very beginning, the moment Wei Ge knew that Luzhou Entertainment was in crisis, he knew the beginning and end of the incident clearly.

This is because someone stole the original core code and launched the first interactive competitive game before ARKI.

In the entire gaming world, this kind of combination of VR and interactive competitive games has never appeared before, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to ARKI's upcoming game.

However, the other party has created an entire era background, designing it to be ancient, similar to the immortal cultivation and fairy tale genre, while ARKI's game is set in the future, more inclined towards a doomsday crisis.

In fact, the two settings and the target gaming groups do not completely overlap, but it will still deal a huge blow to ARKI. Even many lines and plot developments are translated 1:1 into Chinese, which completely disrupts the direction of the game if you want to use the color palette.

The other party came prepared, and there was really no suitable method.

"There's a model framework that's been very popular overseas lately. It can combine user questions and messages to provide free responses. Have you heard of it?"

Wei Ge took a bite of the meat dumpling. These days he had been thinking about how to break the deadlock in this matter. However, he had never been in the workplace and did not understand the operating mechanism of such a complex large-scale organization and the game.

But if we innovate and optimize again on the original basis, and carry out regional upgrades in areas that others have not entered, the originally dead project will become alive again.

This is the truth he came to after writing several final papers. Many of the papers seemed to have no changes, except for a few new innovations.

"Innovate the game by combining a completely new model?"

"Well, since it's an interactive game, a high degree of freedom in interaction might be more appealing to players than a fixed interaction model from the beginning. Also, it's said that this model is already quite mature, so perhaps integrating it into the game wouldn't be that difficult."

Xing Zhao immediately stood up and said, "I'm going to a meeting to find someone to do some research. You should get some rest early."

Wei Ge stood up with Xing Zhao and watched Xing Zhao run to the living room to pick up the documents on the table and the coat that was casually placed in the corner of the sofa.

"Uncle Xing." Wei Ge called him from behind Xing Zhao.

Xing Zhao turned to look at Wei Ge, and suddenly he was caught off guard by a hug. Wei Ge's soft body hugged him, and his head was buried in Xing Zhao's arms.

"Uncle Xing, everything will be over. I will wait for you at home."

Xing Zhao's body stiffened, and he subconsciously reached out and stroked Wei Ge's head. Wei Ge's soft hair slipped between Xing Zhao's fingers, making his fingers itchy, and there was also an itchy place in his heart.

After that night, Xing Zhao bought a plane ticket and flew to Los Angeles overnight. The matter seemed to be resolved smoothly. In short, two days after leaving home, Xing Zhao sent a message to Wei Ge.

He said, "Thank you."

A few days later, ARKI's game was launched as scheduled. Many enthusiastic fans of Yunjian clicked on the game with the intention of checking out the excitement, but they didn't expect that they would stay there.

This type of game has a higher degree of freedom, and even random plots can be opened according to the NPC's favorability. Everyone's gaming experience is unique.

For a while, ARKI’s homepage changed from speaking for the president to game review videos.

Any blogger who has played this game can basically get tens of millions of clicks.

Many new game review bloggers flocked to ARKI's homepage in an instant. ARKI relied on new games to help more ordinary people make a living successfully. It was a veritable big boss and a god-level platform for ordinary people to broadcast.

"Who says that our ARKI's games are copied from those of small companies? ARKI has been at the forefront of the gaming industry since it went online, okay?" A top-ranked player in the ARKI gaming area started a live broadcast and spoke various words to the camera.

Wei Ge was lying on the bed, scrolling through the comments and giving likes to the live broadcast room crazily.

I didn't expect that my idea could really save the company. In fact, Wei Ge was unsure when he proposed this idea.

In fact, he had done some research online in advance. The company had accepted invitations from many game companies, but had rejected their requests for joint games.

A company that can cooperate with that big model must not only be the best in the industry, but may also have other conditions.

Or, money and strength coexist, and even some good looks are added.

In short, the result was satisfactory, but Wei Ge did not see Xing Zhao after that day, but only received a message from Xing Zhao.

[Xing Zhao]: I'm going on a business trip abroad these days. Please be careful and contact Lao Qin if you have any questions.

[Xing Zhao]: By the way, the idea you proposed before is very effective. Thank you. I will bring you a gift when I go back.

The celebration party did not take place, but Xing Zhao had to go on an extra-long business trip, and Wei Ge had to take an extra-long personal vacation.

Xing Zhao was naturally busy during the period when the game was online, but summer vacation was approaching, and Wei Ge also had to prepare intensively for the upcoming final exams.

As for the results of the last competition, the official said that it will take some time to announce. Due to the large number of participants, several works need further screening.

After staying up all night for several days to memorize the exam scope drawn by the teacher, Wei Ge walked out of the exam room and saw someone waiting at the door.

Of course not Xing Zhao.

Strictly speaking, there should be two people.

Xu Zhou and Zhang Zhilin.

As for why Li Cheng is not there...

Wei Ge's shoulders sank, and Li Cheng walked out of the classroom and hit Wei Ge's shoulder with his arm.

This guy failed last semester. Wei Ge took several exams this time, and Li Cheng sat behind him every time.

Wei Ge felt that if he didn't finish the exam, he would be arrested by the school and accused of having a fixed cheating device.

"Long time no see." Xu Zhou smiled at Wei Ge and handed him a bottle of mineral water. "How did you do on the exam?"

"It must be good!" Li Cheng took the mineral water that Xu Zhoudu gave to Wei Ge without hesitation, opened it and took a sip, then handed it to Wei Ge to drink as well.

Wei Ge didn't drink it. He didn't have the habit of drinking a bottle of water with others.

Xing Zhao is counted separately.

"Let me tell you, my brother Ge is a real good student. He typed that paper in two clicks. My hands are smoking from copying here! I've never written so many words before!"

Indeed, Li Cheng failed his exams a few years ago. One reason was that the person next to him blocked the paper too tightly, and the other was that the other party answered too slowly. Just as Li Cheng was about to copy, the bell for the end of the exam rang.

Wei Ge is different. When Wei Ge shows Li Cheng, his hand speed is even faster.

Wei Ge answered the questions for half of the class, and Li Cheng copied for half of the class. He felt that if there was a school ranking list for this kind of exam, Wei Ge would probably be ranked first and he would be ranked second.

There is no way, the strength is here and cannot be hidden.

Probably because Wei Ge didn't take Li Cheng's water, Zhang Zhilin, who had been silent, glanced at the unopened drink in his hand and handed it to Wei Ge, "Happy summer vacation."

Wei Ge was stunned for a moment, then smiled at Zhang Zhilin, "Thank you, and have a happy summer vacation."

He and Zhang Zhilin didn't actually talk much, but after a few interactions, Wei Ge felt that he was most comfortable getting along with Zhang Zhilin.

Li Cheng and Xu Zhou were both too enthusiastic. It's not that enthusiasm is bad, but Wei Ge had always been indifferent to everything before, and he was a little uncomfortable with the sudden enthusiasm.

However, after one semester, the group had gotten along pretty well, and Wei Ge had gotten used to their way of getting along.

What's more, Xu Zhou is much more normal now than when we first met, and not so overly enthusiastic.

"Brothers, I'm happy today! I'll treat you all to a meal. Just tell me what you want to eat!" Li Cheng leaned against the door carelessly, casually guiding the people in the class to walk out, while raising his chin towards the people in front of him.

"It's been a year since we met, so why don't we go to the hot pot restaurant where we had our first meal?" Zhang Zhilin spoke silently, gaining unanimous agreement from the rest of the group.

There was no shortness of breath due to the hot temperature in the hot pot restaurant. Maybe it was because the air conditioning was turned on high enough, Wei Ge even felt a little cold.

"Tripe, topped with pork belly, shrimp paste, shredded potatoes, pork intestines..." Li Cheng placed his orders from the menu while the waiter stood by and took notes.

The four of them sat at a square table, each occupying one side. Wei Ge sat opposite Li Cheng, with Xu Zhou on his left and Zhang Zhilin on his right.

Wei Ge tilted his head to observe Zhang Zhilin, and the more he looked, the more familiar he seemed to him.

He took out his cell phone and carefully opened the photo of women's clothing that Ji Zeyu had called him before. He secretly put the phone under the table and zoomed in again and again until the entire screen was filled with only a right eye with dog eyeliner.

Wei Ge raised his head and then lowered it again, comparing the eyes in the phone with Zhang Zhilin's eyes repeatedly.

The sky is falling, it's happening.

Exactly the same eyes.

Wei Ge looked from his left eye to his right eye, and from the tip of his nose to his lips.

There is another Zhang Zhilin in the world.

But Zhang Zhilin is a man, and the picture in the phone is of a woman.

Oh no, the picture in the phone may not be a woman, it may be Zhang Zhilin dressed as a woman.

Wei Ge was shocked by his own thoughts. Just as he was about to drive the idea out of his mind, Zhang Zhilin suddenly turned around and looked at him.

Wei Ge's hand shook and the phone in his hand fell to the ground.

Li Cheng's voice on the other side gradually became clearer: "Brother Ge, what are you thinking about? Is there anything else you want to eat?"

The waiter turned around and looked at Li Cheng, then looked at Wei Ge who was sitting opposite Li Cheng.

It's funny, a grown man calls another man brother, what a habit.

"Ah? That's enough. I was playing with my phone... I didn't hear anything." Wei Ge laughed and changed the subject, but after he finished speaking, he heard a more fatal sentence ringing in his ears.

"Wei Ge, your cell phone fell to the ground." This was said by Zhang Zhilin.

The most important thing is that after Zhang Zhilin said this, he bent down, lowered his head and enthusiastically planned to help Wei Ge pick up the phone.

The phone fell so suddenly that there was no time to lock the screen. If the photo just now was really of Zhang Zhilin, if he picked it up now, Zhang Zhilin would be able to see his own photo in women's clothing.

If his angle was slightly off, Xu Zhou next to him might have been able to see it.

The sky is falling. It feels like I was peeping at my brother taking private photos and was caught by him.

Although this metaphor is completely inappropriate, it is certainly no less embarrassing than this.

"No... no need." Wei Ge quickly spoke out to stop him, wanting to pick up his phone faster, but Zhang Zhilin's hand was faster. He had already picked up the phone in his hand, turned it around, and the screen was facing up.

No lock screen.

The photos in the mobile phone album were clearly visible on it. Zhang Zhilin looked at the photos in the phone and his expression froze in mid-air.
