"…What should we do now?" The person who invaded the world of "Shan Hai Lu" with a program virus was stunned by this outrageous operation. After being stunned, he looked at the boss and wanted to ask what to do next.
"Is there no other way? Can't we just ruin the event?" the boss asked unwillingly.
He'd used this method so many times, and while it didn't always work, it had never failed like this—but ultimately, the team behind the production of "Shan Hai Lu" was just too eccentric! How did they come up with the idea of turning a virus into part of their campaign?
Such a big move obviously cannot be done in a short time. It must be a plan prepared long ago. Could it be that the producer of "Shan Hai Lu" knew that someone would take action during their event, so he made a second plan?
Under this conspiracy theory, the company boss began to wonder if someone in his company leaked the information?
So, could it be that the lack of defense outside its game world is intentional, a bait to lure others to attack?
The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
The technician in charge of the intrusion had no idea what his boss was thinking and helplessly threw up his hands. "The game world of 'Shan Hai Lu' has now been protected. I tried it, and this newly constructed protection is very strange. It doesn't use any existing technology, but it's very difficult to break through. If we continue, we might be tracked back."
The boss had no choice but to say, "Then take the virus back!"
Otherwise, he couldn't just leave the virus there and let people use it as an active monster. If that really happened, he would lose all his face and dignity.
After receiving the boss's words, the technicians began to concentrate on controlling the viruses he had released into the "Shan Hai Lu" game world.
Because the virus and the door were still there, he felt it would be easy to retrieve the virus, and if that didn't work, he could just decompose it.
At first, everything went smoothly. The technicians quickly regained control of the virus monsters and connected the entrances and exits. However, when he tried to let the virus monsters get in and leave the world of "Shan Hai Lu", the data froze.
——Huh?
【What are you going to do?】
This sentence appeared on his light brain.
Got caught!
The technician's first reaction was to disconnect the data connection immediately so as not to leave any traces that could be used as evidence, but he found that at this point, he could no longer even disconnect and erase the traces.
Someone with more advanced technology from "Shan Hai Lu" "kidnapped" his optical computer.
"Boss." The technician struggled hard for a few more times, but finally had to give up.
Boss: “What’s up?”
"We should prepare to receive a summons from the association's headquarters." The technician said helplessly, "This time the situation is too severe."
boss:"???"
…
As for Xu Piao, after her operations, the situation in "Shan Hai Lu" has almost stabilized, and the [Xiao Yao You] activity is also proceeding in full swing as expected.
Although there is only one Kunpeng SSR with a higher probability this time, and there are other SRs and Rs released in conjunction with various activities, but because of the big scene just now, many players firmly believe that SSR Kunpeng should be the son of the generation version, and have invested a lot of Hongmeng purple energy.
The news that "Shan Hai Lu" encountered sniping on the day the event was opened and was beautifully resolved quickly became a hot topic on the discussion site.
It is not a discussion site for "Shan Hai Lu", but a comprehensive discussion site for the entire gaming industry.
On Xu Piao's side, she relaxed a little after knowing that 079 had successfully found the mastermind behind the scenes by following the data. While the players were busy in Beiming and Sihai, she began to slowly repair the damaged terrain and creations in the mountain and sea world.
The ground is reconstructed, vegetation covers the area, and ancient trees sprout...
Fortunately, Xu Piao had added the [disaster avoidance] talent attribute to all the tribal residents, so there were not many casualties among the tribal residents.
"Who deliberately targeted the opening time of the "Record of Mountains and Seas" event to sabotage it?" After the repairs were almost completed, Xu Piao finally found time to ask this.
The mental strain of this emergency relocation, map splitting, and improvisation of the plot was far greater than that of a regular construction. This had caused Xu Piao to feel that familiar feeling of mental fatigue even as he began repairing the landscape. Strangely, this time, the fatigue subsided much faster than before.
...Could she have also been able to develop her mental strength by resolving this crisis? Although this setting sounds a bit like the setting of the upgrade flow.
"He is the owner of a medium-sized game production company called Unicorn." Just like 079 appeared in the world of "Peach Blossom Spring", with Xu Piao giving him the right to assist, 079's virtual image can also appear in the world of "Shan Hai Lu".
Xu Piao glanced at him. After being so busy for a while, she was too lazy to search for information about the company herself, so she asked 079 to tell her directly.
After listening to it, Xu Piao had only one thought.
——It’s an old habit.
Although the protection of game property rights is quite good in this interstellar world where games are paramount, no matter which world it is, there will always be some people who... carefully study and think about it just to find loopholes.
This unicorn company is a cancer in the gaming industry.
Things like today's sniping event opening hours, sabotaging them and driving players away, weren't the first time this company had done this. Xu Piao had heard 079 read out six or seven such instances. Furthermore, they specifically targeted new developers, or smaller production teams and companies. When they saw a game with a promising idea, they would skimp on the best parts of others' games and release their own.
By casting such a wide net, they actually made a few games a small hit and earned a lot of money.
Then what? Of course, they will continue to work on the original game, causing it to repeatedly have bugs and fail promotions, and eventually the player base will dwindle and people will only know about the game made by this unicorn company, and not the game they copied.
"Oh? So they've also reprinted 'Record of Mountains and Seas'?" Xu Piao sneered and asked 079 to convert her words into text and send it over. "Let me see what the reprint looks like."
Of course, it was quiet on the other end. After a long while, they sent a message asking her how many Alliance Coins she wanted before she was willing to let the matter go.
"No matter which world they are from... they will only use this?" Xu Piao complained, losing interest in the conversation. He asked 079 to close the conversation, and then skillfully logged into the Star Network and entered the discussion area.
Naturally, the first thing you see when you enter is the content related to "Shan Hai Lu" floating at the top.
This largest discussion site is not only populated by gamers, but also by many producers. In the content of "Shan Hai Lu" by Xu Piao, she saw several producers discussing and analyzing her operation to solve the virus monster.
"I think this is probably because CH is very cautious and always has a backup plan for every event? Otherwise, it can't be built on the spot, right? Are you kidding me? And that's not something a normal person would do."
[Hahaha, Unicorn is screwed, and it's a good thing! I finally persuaded my friend to start making games, but just because he had a great idea, he was sniped by this crappy company. They even harassed him in private messages and forced him to quit the internet. The Producers Guild should have banned them long ago!]
[What are you happy about? No matter how bad the car rolls over, it's just a car rollover. There's no solid evidence to put them in jail. They will continue to do the same thing in the future.]
[Someone seems to say that the world of "Shan Hai Lu" had no protection at the beginning. Is this true?]
[All of this was within the calculations of that panda man...]
[I don't know what you're talking about, but I have to say this move by the producer of "Shan Hai Lu" is really awesome! How did he come up with this operation? I have to try it next time!]
【Ah, that’s not necessary? 】
…
Xu Piao flipped through a few pages thoughtfully and confirmed with 079, "You just told me that you got information about this company's previous sniping of other games, right?"
079 nodded.
"Okay." Xu Piao pursed her lips, raised her hand and posted a message on the discussion site using the name [ch].
This was also her first post after coming here.
[CH: I'm CH, the producer of "Shan Hai Lu," and I'm the person being targeted by Unicorn. During our counterattack, my team's technical staff were fortunate enough to obtain a lot of evidence that Unicorn had previously targeted certain producers. If any producers who have been targeted by this company need evidence to appeal, please contact me privately.]
After posting, Xu Piao also attached a picture to prove his identity.
In the gaming industry, the organization responsible for formulating rules and managing the market, as well as protecting the rights and interests of players and producers, is called the Game Production Association.
Cases like those involving Unicorn Company are usually handled by the Producers Association. Without considering other shady dealings, as long as there is sufficient evidence, the information 079 retrieves is enough to shut down the Unicorn Company.
Xu Piao also noticed a clause in the Producer Association's regulations that states, "Individuals or groups that violate the rights of players or producers through illegal means will be banned and a portion of the fine will be used as compensation for the losses suffered by the players or producers whose interests were infringed."
In other words, if she gives the evidence to the relevant people, and then they file a complaint with the Game Production Association, they can get corresponding compensation.
After Xu Piao posted this, she waited for a while before the first person contacted her tentatively.
[Hello, I'm the producer of "XXXX." Do you have any evidence that Unicorn sabotaged my game? It's been over four years...]
