Chapter 96
Several players gathered outside and talked in low voices.
"Speaking of which, this game producer is truly mysterious. He appears and disappears like a ghost. No one has figured out who he is yet."
"Who says it isn't? I heard that hacker Zero is particularly interested in Star Wars. I believe he will be able to find information about the game's producer soon."
“I’m really curious, who developed this game?”
"I feel like this is a real world, and Dawn Star is our first stop in the game. We can gain more benefits and resources here."
"But Dawn Star is too small. The vast universe is truly mysterious and worth exploring."
"What are they discussing in secret?"
"How should I know?"
"Forget it, just shut up."
*In Lin Luo's study
Xu Xudong and Lin Luo sat face to face, with a cup of tea beside him.
Xu Xudong was a little nervous, but he didn't know that Lin Luo was even more nervous than he was.
Xu Xudong loosened his grip on the teacup and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, my name is Xu Xudong. I'm here to discuss cooperation with you on behalf of the country."
Lin Luo asked: "I wonder what the country wants to cooperate with me on?"
Xu Xudong replied: "I wonder if Mr. Lin is interested in the throne of the Galactic Empire?"
"This country doesn't actually need a king. The people of this country probably can't accept someone being above them. Since ancient times, restoration has never had good results." Lin Luo replied indifferently.
Xu Xudong then asked, "The current state system of the Galactic Empire actually has significant drawbacks. I wonder if Mr. Lin is willing to change this?"
"When facing a powerful enemy, such a system will be in disarray. The entire Congress is controlled by the aristocratic families. Once there is enough benefit, they can abandon the entire country." Xu Xudong said bluntly.
"You are right, the congressional system does need to be changed. So what do you want?" Lin Luo asked.
"The knowledge here." Xu Xudong replied.
Xu Xudong then added: "We want more scientists, scholars, and soldiers to come here to study."
"So simple?"
"Our country never makes things difficult for its people," said Xu Xudong.
Lin Luo extended his hand and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
Xu Xudong reached out and shook his hand and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you."
This conversation was just a test to ensure that both parties would not become obstacles to each other, and to confirm that the game makers had no intention of harming Blue Star.
Lin Luo was only interested in money and did not have much ambition. People had long been accustomed to life without a royal family. Once someone oppressed them, the Galactic Empire would probably face a future of fragmentation, which was something Lin Luo did not want to see.
But that doesn't mean he wants to see the country that his ancestors have protected become a mess because of this group of cancerous people called aristocratic families.
Lin Luo sat in a chair thinking, and Xu Xudong had already left. When he came out of the yard, he was discovered by people hiding outside, and then reported to the higher-ups.
*Outside the game
In an inconspicuous little villa, the room is full of household garbage, with instant noodle bags, potato chip boxes, and beverage bottles thrown everywhere.
In such a dirty and messy room, a blond young man with a bun on the back of his hair sat in the only clean place in the room. His eyes were fixed on the computer screen like a cheetah staring at its prey, and his emerald green eyes looked particularly creepy.
English symbols kept flashing on the computer, so fast that Zero couldn't blink. His five fingers kept tapping on the keyboard, leaving afterimages. Codes flew across the screen at a rapid speed, making it difficult to see what was written. However, the man continued to tap on the keyboard as if he was not troubled.
Soon Zero hacked into the website of the Chinese Archives Bureau. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and then his fingers began typing again. Soon an exclamation mark popped up on the webpage.
[Sorry, you do not have sufficient permissions to enter.]
Zero was typing away on the keyboard with great interest, preparing to crack the data. As one of the most powerful hackers known in the world, no problem could stump him. He was like a fish in the sea, able to thrive on the Internet and fly freely in the sky like a bird.
Zero's fingers kept flying, and the progress bar fast-forwarded from 0% to 99.99%, but Zero did not take it lightly. He carefully typed the last character, and the webpage instantly turned into a bunch of garbled characters.
The garbled characters on the screen kept flashing, and then formed a smiley face. This smiley face zero looked unpleasant no matter how you looked at it. This smiley face was the kind commonly used by the elderly, but in the eyes of young people it represented ridicule and was extremely disgusting.
"Cao!"
Zero wanted to quit but the smiling face was still on his screen, looking at him coldly. He could only continue typing the code to crack it, but it only changed the smiling face into a helpless expression, and then returned to a smiling face again.
Zero realized that he had met his match. He had not expected that there would be a hacker in China whom he did not know about, which aroused his desire to conquer.
The first setback in his life happened a few days ago when he wanted to secretly break into Starship Wars, but he couldn't shake the other party's operating system at all. He was also blacklisted for provocation. For this reason, he fought wits and courage with Starship Wars for many days, but still failed to break through the other party's firewall.
This aroused Zero's strong interest in Starship Wars, so he wanted to investigate the producer of Starship Wars. It just so happened that he also wanted to know who the producer of Starship Wars was, so he thought of searching for information about Starship Wars through the archives.
Zero felt that the firewall of the Archives Bureau was different from the firewall of Star Wars. The latter could be guessed by code, but the former seemed to be separated from the code. This made him feel a little strange, and he couldn't help but analyze it carefully. He couldn't understand why these codes were used in this way, and he couldn't figure it out.
Zero's feeling was not wrong. The system of the Chinese Archives Bureau was still the same system as before. However, because of the revival of spiritual energy, talented people emerged in large numbers. There happened to be a psychic whose superpowers were related to the Internet, and he was transferred to the Chinese National Security Bureau to safeguard the country's important information.
The Archives Bureau's system was also maintained by this psychic, so as an ordinary person, Zero couldn't break through the blockade of psychic powers at all. He could only watch various smiley faces flashing on his computer. Finally, he could only unplug the power and restart it.
Zero changed a computer and prepared to break through the firewall of the Archives Bureau again. This time the opponent's strength seemed to be much weaker. Zero directly broke through the blockade and found the information of the producer of Star Wars.
It only says:
——
JJ2020XXL T company person in charge: zero
Photo:blonde_blue_eyes.jpg
ID number: xxxxx……
Address:xxx
…
——
Looking at this information, Zero was furious. If he was really the game producer, why would he still be checking here?
After zero exited, he started editing the code again. The code on the screen kept scrolling, and finally three big red words "Wow wow wow" appeared. At the same time, the childish laughter came from the computer.
Zero realized that he had been fooled again. He was a little unwilling to give up. He tried a few more times, but there was nothing he could do with this website, so he had to give up.
Zero was obviously unwilling to give up. He gathered other colleagues to hack into the Star Wars system together. Not long after, they said:
"Sorry, this is just too difficult."
"I give up."
But the difficulty level was too high, so they all chose to give up, and Zero had no choice but to give up as well.
On the other hand, there are several foreign players in the game who feel a little bored. They have also awakened their superpowers in reality and have developed a strong interest in this game and want to explore the world here.
Anne, Toby, Linda, David and John had a fierce argument about the direction of the action. Anne did not agree with this action.
"By cooperating with the An family, the most powerful one currently, to explore the mysteries of this world, we will gain more information."
"No, cooperating with the An family is like Pandora's box, full of disasters!"
"We don't know what the real-world impact of this will be."
"One is a highly developed civilization, and the other is still a weak civilization. What kind of collision will there be between the two? Even with my imagination, I can imagine what will happen."
David didn't respond to Anne's words, but John, the man who often called David a fool, said, "No, this will bring us endless wealth. Besides, Blue Star is a demon-free land compared to the vast interstellar space. There are no minerals or spiritual plants that can be of any use to them."
"What good is it to invade us? What's the point?"
Annie said excitedly, "Can you guarantee that? Can you guarantee that they really don't have any unreasonable desires? Blue Planet has a population of 7 billion. Can you choose for them?"
John said calmly: "The barriers of the world are not so easy to break, don't worry."
Annie advised earnestly: "This is really not a good idea. Look at the Qin family. They have been eaten up by their family and not even a bone is left."
John replied coldly: "You women are just too soft-hearted!"
Linda said angrily, "Don't take me with you. I didn't say anything. Haha, I was going to say that you men are idiots."
Looking at Linda's strong arms, John could only yell at David angrily: "David, you idiot!"
"If you don't go, I'll go by myself!" John said and left. David hurriedly followed him, leaving only silent Toby, angry Linda and speechless Anne behind.
Linda said to Annie, "Are we just going to let them go like this?"
At this moment, Toby, who had been silent and insignificant, said, "Don't worry. The An family may not be willing to cooperate with us. Once we are separated from the entire player army, we have too few people. They may not be interested in us."
"There's a saying in China: Don't be afraid of ten thousand, be prepared for one." Anne said and followed him. She wanted to stop John's actions.
But John and David had already boarded the starship and left, so the three of them could only take the next starship to the Imperial Star.
Anne prayed in her heart: I hope everything will be as Toby said, alas.
Anne's palms were sweating from nervousness, and she stared at the starry sky for a long time without coming back to her senses.
Before entering the game, she never expected that this was actually a real world. Everything was too fantastical, and things developed like a train derailed.
Time passed little by little, and Anne and the other two arrived at the Imperial Star. She and the other two rushed to the gate of the An family mansion as soon as possible, but did not see John and David, which made her a little anxious. She looked around, trying to find them.
David and John had not actually entered the An family yet, because they were directly driven away by the security guards here as if they were lunatics. They could only climb over the wall to enter the An family.
The huge An family made the two of them lose their way. They didn’t know how long it took before they met someone from the An family. This operation was really not easy!
