In this update, Taoist equipment has been weakened again, and the game balance has been improved. The attributes of platinum rings, ruby ​​rings, ghost armor, and demon robes have all been reduced. The game also opened up the function of packing medicines and scrolls, and the entry conditions of the corpse king's palace are not so harsh.

However, not long after the 1.28 version was updated, a casino plug-in appeared in "Legend of Mir 2". Players only need to use the WPE packet on the fairy and send commands to continuously exchange chips for money.

Because of this plug-in, the wealth of each server is concentrated in the hands of a few people. The prices of brand-name goods have doubled again and again, and have even reached a price tag of hundreds of millions of gold coins.

When Li Yu called Song Yi and asked how to deal with these game players who used cheats, Song Yi issued a ban on these game players without hesitation.

The punishment measures were announced on the official website of "Legend of Mir 2" and the 17173 forum. The game IDs that used casino plug-ins to cheat were banned for 525,600 seconds.

Xinya Network published the penalty decision on the official website of "Legend of Mir 2":

As the operator of "Legend of Mir 2", we at Xinya have been committed to maintaining the fairness and playability of the game. As for the cheating behavior of game plug-ins, I believe that the majority of players have the same position as us and hate it.

We must never allow bad money to drive out good money, allow legality to give way to illegality, or allow gamers who abide by the rules to suffer losses.

Now, Legend of Mir 2 can monitor the use of cheats in real time. For the first time, the official will issue a reminder to the user, and the game account will be offline for 72 hours. For the second time, the game account will be offline for one week. Accounts that use game cheats multiple times will be punished with the maximum penalty and permanently offline.

Because Xinya Network handled the situation very promptly and banned the studio's game account, it was able to retain some old game players who were about to leave.

Although some studios deliberately competed with Xinya Network, they made the usage path and basic attributes of the packages consistent, and they immediately became new packages, such as: Dark Palace Package, Zuma Best Guard Package, Destiny Mission Package, Blessing Oil Mission Package and Old Man Liu Mission Package, etc.

There are endless game plug-ins for "Legend of Mir 2", but Song Yi's attitude is still very firm. No matter how many plug-ins appear, he will ban them.

Li Yu felt something was wrong. The frequency of game cheats was too high. It was like a crackdown on prostitution. Not long after one place was closed, another one opened up. It was like treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

Song Yi knew that the studios that made these game plug-ins had the support of other online game companies. Shanda's "Heaven" was about to start its public beta, and some people couldn't help but make some small moves.

Song Yi's career focus in the mainland is all in Yanjing, and those game plug-in studios are concentrated in Puhai City, so he is indeed out of reach at the moment.

Song Yi comforted Li Yu, "Don't worry, these people are like grasshoppers after autumn, they won't be able to jump for a few days."

Song Yi and Li Yu also studied the online game "Lineage" carefully. Although "Lineage" defeated "Legend 2" in the Korean online game market, it would not be easy for them to defeat "Legend of Mir 2" in the mainland.

There are several reasons. First, Legend of Mir 2 has a first-mover advantage, and the number of online players of Legend of Mir 2 has exceeded 500,000. Paradise, which is represented by Shanda Network, is a latecomer, and it is not easy to divert users from Legend of Mir 2.

Second, the network configuration of Korean Internet cafes is obviously higher than that of mainland Internet cafes. Korean Internet cafes can play the online game "Lineage" smoothly, while in mainland China only high-end Internet cafes in big cities such as Yanjing, Puhai, Yangcheng and Pengcheng can run the game "Lineage" without pressure.

Third, the timeliness of communication between players and game officials. Xinya Network is a shareholder of Wemade, the publisher of the game "Legend of Mir 2", and a considerable number of Wemade's employees have been seconded to work at Xinya Network.

If there is a bug in the game Legend of Mir 2, the game officials will deal with it immediately and provide a solution. No other online game company on the market can achieve such high efficiency.

When Chen Tianqiao failed to get the agency rights for Legend, he set his sights on Lineage. With the support of Samsung C&T, Chen Tianqiao finally got the mainland agency rights for Lineage.

However, the developer of "Paradise" NCsoft was very arrogant. It took several months to localize the game "Paradise" into Chinese. NCsoft and Shanda Network also signed a very harsh profit-sharing contract.

When he thought of this, Chen Tianqiao hated Song Yi so much that his teeth were itching. If Song Yi hadn't used money to bribe people, he would have already obtained the agency rights of Legend.

Chen Tianqiao watched "Legend of Mir 2" making huge profits day by day, and he was extremely jealous of Xinya Network. Originally, the money should have gone into his pocket, but in the end, the bastard Song Yi got there first.

He is now thinking about how to get the source code of "Legend of Mir 2" and then set up a private server of "Legend of Mir 2" to make a profit.

A complete large-scale online game is mainly divided into the client and the server. Gamers usually download the client in Internet cafes, and the server refers to the server of the game company.

For an idealized online game, the client only plays a role similar to a player. Game players send requests through the client, and the server returns the corresponding content after calculation.

However, with the increasing number of players of "Legend of Mir 2", the servers of Xinya Network are under great computing pressure. In order to make the game experience smoother, Xinya also puts some simple calculations on the client side, and then verifies the data on the server side after the calculation is completed.

The current "Legend of Mir 2" is developed in Delphi language and uses UDP communication method. However, Delphi language is very easy to be decompiled, resulting in endless game plug-ins.

However, there is still relatively little information about the client, and it is impossible to set up a private server based on the client information alone. Only after the server is leaked, decompiled, and the game source code is released, can private servers be spread all over the Internet.

In fact, it was the leak of the Italian server of "Legend of Mir 2" that led to the prevalence of private servers in the mainland. So Shanda Network later made "Legend of Mir 2" free for all players and charged for props. This move also made the online game "Legend of Mir 2" gradually decline from glory. Since Song Yi was familiar with the development history of "Legend of Mir 2", he naturally would not let the source code of "Legend of Mir 2" leak in Europe.

Xinya Network and Wemade jointly own the copyright of "Legend of Mir 2", while the Italian game company only has the agency rights of "Legend of Mir 2". If the Italian game company dares to leak the source code of the server of "Legend of Mir 2", Song Yi will definitely make the company pay the price, at least he will sue the company until it goes bankrupt.

Song Yi put the matter of game plug-ins aside as he was busy receiving Zheng Enxuan, Zhou Zhiyi and Chen Zaican and his wife.

Zheng Enxuan, accompanied by Song Yi, Zhou Xiuxian and Mao Daqing, visited the construction site of Wangjing Center.

In the end, Zaha Hadid Architects won the bid for the architectural design of Wangjing Center. Although Song Yi's requirements limited her performance, she still delivered a stunning design work.

Song Yi required that Wangjing Center be a twin tower, with a glass passage connecting the two high-rise buildings in the middle to form an H shape. Zaha Hadid's design was even bolder. In her design, the twin towers of Wangjing Center are like two parallel sails on a sailboat.

She created a new space in a deconstructive way, allowing visitors to wander around. The "sense of fluidity" is fully reflected in this design, like a magnetic field emitting huge energy. In this space, people seem to feel the sense of space that breaks free from gravity.

The base of the twin towers is white, shaped like the hull of a sailboat. The twin towers are black in color, flying side by side.

A glass passage will be built at the waist of the two towers. During the day, the two towers seem to be independent of each other, and the connecting glass passage is almost invisible from a distance. When the lights are turned on at night, the twin towers will appear brightly H-shaped.

After Song Yi saw Zaha Hadid's design, he felt that it looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that this design was derived from the Jinling Youth Olympic Center Building designed by Zaha Hadid later. The difference between Wangjing Center and Youth Olympic Center lies in the sailboat hull base of the twin towers and the glass passage at the waist.

Zheng Enxuan looked at the complete architectural design and said to Song Yi, "Actually, Zaha felt that your idea of ​​the glass passage limited her creativity, otherwise she would not have made the passage almost invisible during the day."

Song Yi shook his head helplessly. "Who made me Party A? Of course I have to try my best to meet Party A's requirements. I really like her design. These two buildings are like a couple in an ambiguous relationship, close yet distant."

"This couple is like they are in an office romance. They are secretive during the day and are eager to sever their ties. But after get off work at night, they dare to walk down the street holding hands openly and never let go." Song Yi expressed his feelings.

Mao Xiaoqing felt that Song Yi's description was very appropriate after hearing it. "Chairman Song's idea is indeed unique. He has endowed the cold architecture with warm humanistic care."

When Zheng Enxuan heard what Song Yi said, she smiled and shook her head, "Your perspective is quite tricky."

Wangjing Center is the first large-scale real estate project of Eshan Group overseas. Zheng Enxuan could not help but pay attention to it. She visited the entire construction site and learned about the surrounding facilities.

Zheng Enxuan praised Zhou Xiuxian and Mao Xiaoqing in particular. It seems that the duo of Zhou Xiuxian as chairman and Mao Xiaoqing as general manager cooperate very well and are very efficient.

Song Yi also introduced Zhou Zhiyi to Zhou Xiuxian and Mao Xiaoqing. Zhou Zhiyi will be transferred to Xinya Real Estate as deputy general manager and financial director after the holiday, becoming the third in command of Xinya Real Estate. Zhou Zhiyi is also very good at dealing with people, and said that he wants to learn more from Chairman Zhou Xiuxian and General Manager Mao Xiaoqing.

Mao Xiaoqing originally thought that Zhou Zhiyi was Song Yi's lover, and that Song Yi sent Zhou Zhiyi to supervise him, and felt a little uncomfortable.

Although Zhou Xiuxian is the chairman of New Asia Real Estate, he is a Korean after all, and his say in the Wangjing Center project may not be as strong as that of Mao Xiaoqing, a local. Zhou Xiuxian also relies heavily on Mao Xiaoqing.

After Song Yi finished introducing Zhou Zhiyi, he realized that he had misunderstood. Zhou Zhiyi turned out to be the eldest princess of Eshan Group and the third generation of a modern family. According to seniority, she had to call Song Yi her cousin.

Zhou Zhiyi came to Yanjing to work for the purpose of gilding himself and learning, not to replace Mao Xiaoqing in the future. After all, anyone with a discerning eye knew that Zhou Zhiyi would return to Eshan Group to take over sooner or later, and it was impossible for him to stay in Yanjing for long.

Moreover, with Zhou Zhiyi in the company, Xinya Real Estate can better communicate with Eshan and Xinya, and help Xinya Real Estate to obtain benefits. Therefore, Mao Xiaoqing sincerely welcomes Zhou Zhiyi's arrival this time.

After leaving Wangjing Center, Zheng Enxuan asked Song Yi, "Is General Manager Mao married?"

"They have been married for several years, and his wife is also from a military family. What's wrong?" Song Yi was a little surprised.

Zheng Enxuan was relieved. "Oh, that's good. I originally thought that he was a little resistant to Zhiyi's arrival. I was also worried that General Manager Mao was single." Zheng Enxuan had high hopes for Zhou Zhiyi, and of course she didn't want her daughter to find a Chinese son-in-law.

"We don't have to worry about Zhiyi's lifelong affairs. I see Zhiyi and Guangmo have been in contact quite a lot recently. LG and Eshan Semiconductor are jointly building a factory in Liangxi, and Guangmo will come to China to work for a while. LG Electronics is also planning to buy land in Wangjing to build the LG Building. Guangmo and Zhiyi will have many opportunities to deal with each other. If they can succeed, won't we have one less thing to worry about?" Song Yi said.

"Are you talking about LG's Gu Kwang-mok? He is indeed a good boy, but Chairman Gu Kwang-sung plans to let him take over. If Ji-yi marries Kwang-mok, then Ji-yi will not be able to inherit Eshan Group." Zheng Enxuan was a little distressed. She certainly hoped that her daughter could live a happy life, but she would never agree to her daughter becoming a full-time housewife.

Song Yi thought, I just didn't plan to let Zhou Zhiyi inherit Eshan Group. Now Eshan Group is strong and Xinya is weak, so Xinya naturally has no way to swallow up Eshan Group. But in another three to five years, Xinya will be strong and Eshan will be weak, so it will be natural for Xinya to swallow up Eshan.

Whether it is the real estate project in Wangjing Center or the Liangxi wafer factory project of Eshan Semiconductor, they are all large-scale investment projects with large investment funds and long investment returns.

Xinya and Eshan have now formed a strategic partnership and have cooperated more and more in investment projects in China and South Korea, such as Xinya Media's backdoor listing plan, The One apartment project on the Longtoudong land, Xinya Real Estate's Wangjing Center, and the wafer factory project in Liangxi City.

Now, Eshan Group is in control of the project, but Xinya, which bears more funds, has always firmly controlled the progress of these projects. Song Yi's plan is to make Xinya gradually become the largest creditor of Eshan Group, and then take control of Eshan Group in one fell swoop through debt-to-equity swaps.

However, Song Yi will not treat Zheng Enxuan's family unfairly. Even if they only own a small amount of shares in Eshan Group, their family assets will exceed 99% of the chaebol families. In fact, when Zheng Enxuan invited Song Yi to buy the shares of Eshan Group, she should have thought that Song Yi would become the master sooner or later. 　Happy Dragon Boat Festival, see you tomorrow. I am adjusting the plot these two days, so I will update less. I will see if I can update more tomorrow.
