Chapter 125 Anxiety Feeling Anxiety
"Oh, that's a possibility," the interviewer said with a straight face. "If this behavior of players really spreads in the industry and leads to the formation of some bad atmosphere, we will definitely be blamed."
The nature of this situation can be said to be a "prank" or "malicious disruption of the game order", but it is not up to them to decide which one it is.
Ye Xing looked at Sister Lin anxiously. After all, those players came to play a prank on him. Wouldn’t he be held responsible too much?
His boss calmed him down in time: "Xiao Xuan, it's okay. If there is a mistake, it can't be blamed on you alone. The operation of a game involves many aspects. How can we just solve the problem wherever it seems?"
After listening to Sister Lin's words, Ye Xing didn't feel comforted at all.
He didn't understand why some people would leave a good game alone and instead "invent" a new game within the game.
If this is true, why don't you develop games?
As someone who doesn’t play games, he believes that he may never fully understand games in his lifetime.
He may become an outstanding industry insider in the future - even an industry representative, but he will never become someone who truly understands games.
People who truly understand games are definitely not just those who work in related industries, but also have the identity of being players.
But a small number of players do find it strange. If they don't want to follow the rules of the game, they can just play something else.
Their prank could be carried out in other places as well.
For example, if we really make it a flash mob, there is still a risk of scaring people.
He told Sister Lin and the interviewer all the information he had collected from both forums.
"This is indeed a loophole that cannot be ignored." Sister Lin's face became increasingly gloomy. She quickly contacted several senior executives in the company. This kind of thing cannot be solved by a small meeting of three people.
Since Ye Xuan is a party involved, it is temporarily inconvenient for him to participate in this meeting.
After returning to his office, the real NPC breathed a sigh of relief.
He must have been in the game for too long and got used to it. Now that he has returned to reality to deal with work, he feels uncomfortable.
That incident just ended, and the plot copy that could not be seen in the world channel had not yet continued, so he should not enter the game for the time being.
But he was not in the mood to read the forum, and now he had no idea what to do.
Fishing is a good choice.
But now everyone is in the conference room discussing the trouble that was caused by him in a certain sense. Isn't it a bad idea for him to stay in his office and do nothing?
Although there was nothing to do, Ye Xing felt anxious for no reason.
Some people will feel anxious when they are so idle that they feel anxious. They feel that doing nothing is a waste of life.
Ye Xuan was caught up in this anxiety at this moment. He turned on his computer and then turned it off again. He took out his cell phone and put it back in his pocket.
He opened the empty folder and pretended to read something.
He even picked up the "Real Person NPC Mission Manual" which had long been covered with a layer of dust and flipped through it.
However, due to the limitations of the bookmarks, he could only read two pages at most.
People who do nothing actually also have troubles.
For example, the distress of not knowing what else you can do.
When we are busy, we complain about the complexity of being human; when we are free, we care about the richness of human thought.
If someone is considered a soulless creature, would he start to have wild thoughts just because he has too much free time?
Ye Xuan was thinking about these things and killing time.
There are still... two hours until the end of get off work.
Two hours usually pass in a flash when playing games.
But sitting in a real office, he felt uneasy.
I hope to get back to the dormitory soon.
He looked at the dark monitor and began to plan what to do when he returned.
A few days ago, I bought some snacks that I planned to eat while watching variety shows. Since they were discounted foods near their expiration dates, they would expire if I didn’t eat them.
The variety show was recommended to him by a former classmate, who said it was very interesting and suitable for watching after get off work, helping to relieve a whole day's fatigue.
Ye Xuan, who used to participate in leisure and entertainment activities with his classmates, happily accepted this suggestion.
He planned to go and take a look after get off work, as today's work was mentally exhausting enough.
He couldn't imagine what the final outcome would be.
I just hope that no more games will be affected in this way by players.
Some people would say that this is caused by the high degree of freedom in the game, and that such a game should not be developed.
But he believes there is nothing wrong with the game itself, but rather the people who exploit it.
The original intention of "Dream Travel" was not to create an absolutely free world, but to build a sufficiently real world.
To this end, each of them is working hard to move closer to this goal, and everyone is doing different work in their own positions towards a common goal.
As a real-life NPC, Ye Xuan is naturally a key link.
He is an important embodiment of the realism of the game. If players maliciously target him, he has reason to fight back.
Players in this game are not omnipotent gods, and not everything they do will be tolerated.
Game companies need users to survive, but each of them does not live for the players.
The only thing they love is games.
The only thing they cherish is the game "Dream Travel", which they have poured countless efforts into.
The progress of the meeting was unknown, but he could not leave the office without permission before being notified.
There was a vicious incident in the past where a player came to attack an artist.
Art is the pillar that many games should thank on their knees. Some games with monotonous gameplay and clichéd plots have made a name for themselves and won several awards thanks to their art style.
The gaming industry was stirred up by that incident, and countless practitioners requested to increase their insurance. For a while, only the insurance companies were happy, while the gaming community was shrouded in gloom.
These are what the interviewer told him, and he sounded very sad when he said it.
The victim was a well-known artist in the circle, and his award-winning works were also excellent works that went beyond the circle. He did not expect that he would be harmed by players.
Ye Xuan is a real-life NPC who shows up in the game. As long as you find the address of their company, you can definitely find him directly.
What if he was also "harassed"?
He couldn't help but worry about this.
Although many players like him now and he has accumulated a lot of non-player fans, there are still people who dislike him.
As long as someone likes someone, there will be someone who hates him.
There are even some reasons to hate a person, that is, this person is loved by others.
This can also be called "hate turned from love" in a sense.
Because of the love of others, you hate yourself.
Ye Xing didn’t quite understand this mentality, but he knew that there were people like this in the world.
He doesn't think that "existence is reasonable", but he knows that human nature is sometimes like this.
The real NPCs are afraid that they will be the next victim.
At least he has become hated.
He didn't dare leave his workstation without permission, fearing that there would be an unsheathed blade outside the door once he opened it.
Maybe he had been playing the game for too long, and he felt that reality had become magical.
There are some things that you can't rest easy about just because you have a clear conscience.
Ye Xuan thought he had never done anything wrong, but those guys didn't care.
They want to do something and have the ability to do it. They keep a close eye on the next potential prey, who may appear next to them at any time.
As a person of low courage, it is quite normal for Ye Xing to panic about this.
Because he was so bored, his anxiety was completely aroused.
He glanced at the office door from time to time, his eyes wandering without a precise focus.
When will the meeting end?
He was worried about whether he would bring irreparable negative impact to the company.
By the time he noticed the posts, they were already trending.
Ye Xing was so anxious that he walked around the office.
He looked at the game cabin and had an urge to bury his head in it.
It’s better to get some sleep.
He looked at his phone which had no messages on it. The meeting still had no room for him.
I want to find someone to talk to, but there is no suitable person during working hours.
Sister Lin and the interviewer were in a meeting. Apart from them, the person she was most familiar with was Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian is the receptionist and should not participate in the meeting.
But what if someone breaks into the company and tries to harm him?
The front desk still needs to be informed.
Is he suffering from paranoia?
He had actually begun to imagine himself being murdered.
Ye Xuan broke out in a cold sweat because of his own imagination.
His imagination is a little too strong.
The real NPCs who were waiting for the meeting to end or for them to enter were extremely anxious.
He turned around the office a few times, successfully made himself dizzy, and then lay down in the game cabin.
The lights in the game cabin were on, but he still felt that there was an empty space in his heart that was not illuminated.
There is a sense of loneliness in the anxiety.
He couldn't find anyone with whom to share this anxiety.
In addition to positive emotions, there are also many negative emotions that need to be shared with others.
He wanted to get rid of this feeling.
But I don’t know how to implement it.
There was still no message on his phone, and he felt like he was on a deserted island.
There was no sound of anyone passing by outside the door.
It was like he was the only one left in the company.
Ye Xuan looked at the top of the game cabin.
The light was not glaring, but he inexplicably wanted to cry.
Perhaps the collapse of adults happens at that moment.
His anxiety was not relieved, but instead increased a little bit.
Even after closing his eyes, light still penetrated through the thin layer of eyelids, making it impossible for him to sleep.
The main reason for not being able to sleep was naturally not the light, but his heart.
He held the phone tightly in his hand. If anyone sent him a message, he would be able to notice it immediately.
But no.
Unfortunately not.
He was tormented by the restlessness and anxiety that had nowhere to go.
This was definitely the hardest day he had ever had on the job.
He flipped out of the game cabin.
Turn on the phone screen meaninglessly.
The body, which had not been lying down for long, was not tired.
But I feel very tired inside.
