Pei Wen was suddenly called and stopped what he was doing to look over.
When he heard her ask him where he was when he entered the game, he was stunned again, and after a long while, he clenched his fingers with a subtle expression.
"At...the company."
"Fort Street?"
"Not really."
Si Lan looked at him in confusion: "Isn't your company on Fu Street? Did you move?"
Pei Wen's expression became more subtle. He stared at her straight, his thin, crimson lips opening and closing, wanting to say something but not daring to.
When Si Lan's expression began to change, he looked away and said vaguely, "Near your company."
Si Lan:?
"What?"
"…near your company."
"Why is your company over there?"
"A branch office."
“You’re opening another branch???”
Pei Wen glanced at her and asked, "Why are you calling me again?"
Si Lan's attention wandered off, and she scowled at him with her arms folded. "Not bad, Pei Wen. You've managed to grow this business so big with a mission. Besides being a professor, are you also a domineering CEO?"
Pei Wen opened his mouth again, obviously wanting to say something.
But when the words came to his lips, he hesitated again. Seeing Si Lan's nonchalant expression, he decided to take his words back: "Don't envy me too much."
Si Lan laughed and said, "I envy you for nothing. I just want to take care of myself in my old age."
Pei Wen: "You also need a pension to support yourself in your old age."
“No shortage.”
Pei Wen: “…”
I decisively changed the subject and asked her, "Why are you asking this question?"
Si Lan introduced the designer: "Ruan Fang, a customer from the same neighborhood as me."
"She just mentioned running into several real-life acquaintances in the area, so I just wanted to ask you about that."
Pei Wen understood what he said: "Do you suspect that this game is distributed according to real regions?"
Before Si Lan could reply, Ruan Fang spoke up first, "But I've also asked other people, and some of them entered the game quite far away from us, so there shouldn't be this pattern either."
Pei Wen thought for a moment and replied, "According to the way this chip acquires information, it's possible to instantly capture players in the same area and then, based on the random distribution pattern, disrupt the order of their distribution to a certain extent."
Ruan Fang didn't quite understand: "What does that prove?"
Si Lan: "It doesn't prove anything. It just means that if you capture players in the same area, there's a high chance that the disruption isn't thorough enough, leading to the situation you mentioned, where you frequently run into neighbors and acquaintances."
Ruan Fang suddenly realized something and said "Oh". After a moment, she belatedly asked, "Then what?"
Pei Wen and Si Lan were both stunned.
“…What then?”
"Um... I mean, discuss this, then what?"
The two looked at each other blankly again.
What do you want then?
After Qian Ming came over and understood the content of the discussion, he explained to Ruan Fang, "Oh, that's right. The two of us bosses often discuss things that have no results or don't need results."
"In their words, the outcome may not be important, but the process and theory must at least be understood."
Ruan Fang said "Oh", unable to believe that it was for this reason.
Si Lan and the other person were indeed just discussing the principles. How to place players in this game was no longer something they had to understand.
They have all settled in this camp for a long time and it is impossible for them to make any changes because of these mechanisms.
So I just said it casually and didn't take it seriously.
Ruan Fang greeted another designer, Ji Qianqian, chatted with everyone briefly, and then left together.
Si Lan then exchanged some information about the two camps with Fang Xun, then returned to her house and rested for a while.
About two days later, Si Lan and her team had started building the computer case.
Just as everyone was busy, a few children who had been treading the dirt outside the camp ran back, leading several people in a hurry. "Sister Lan, Officer Fang! There's more people coming to our base!"
Upon hearing this, Si Lan and Fang Xun, who was planning the route to the next camp, put down their work and walked over.
"Who's here? Which base are they from? What happened?" Fang Xun asked as he walked ahead.
The children didn't ask too many detailed questions: they might not understand anyway.
One of the children shouted, "I just said I'm here to learn from experience! Uncles and aunts, this is our camp's police officer, Uncle Guan. He's in charge of the daily affairs and social interactions for everyone in our camp!"
"That older sister at the back is another person in charge, Sister Si Lan. She's the best kung fu expert here, so you must treat her well!"
Wang Hongsheng saw that Si Lan was a woman and thought to himself, could a woman be the most powerful in martial arts?
Isn't the overall quality of this camp very poor?
However, except that the houses in the camp are not as beautiful and advanced as my own camp, this camp is really well organized.
When Wang Hongsheng saw people drying paper and forging iron here, and that there were various automatic weapons for defense outside, he felt a little uncomfortable.
It seems that the development is really good.
Fang Xun was as hospitable as ever, and he greeted him and said, "Welcome to our camp."
"Which camp are you from? Do you want to exchange ideas with us? That's great! Our camp is always looking for other camps to collaborate and exchange ideas. Everyone is very welcome!"
Wang Hongsheng is a businessman after all, and he never fails to put on a good show.
Hearing this, he put on a smile and extended his hand towards Fang Xun: "Nice to meet you."
"I'm the CEO of Peak Gaming Group, my name is Wang Hongsheng."
"We apologize for disturbing you this time, but we only learned of your existence through the Infrastructure Group's recommendation. We also heard that you were researching electrical equipment, so we brought the residents here to learn."
Fang Xun was a little surprised: "Recommended by the Infrastructure Team?"
"Thanks to the Infrastructure Group for their care!"
"Come on, everyone, come in first. I see you're all carrying stuff. Is your storage space full? If you trust us, you can temporarily store your stuff in our empty warehouse. Then, it's almost dinner time. Our camp isn't overly resource-rich, but we do have some inventory. Let us prepare a hearty dinner for everyone."
Wang Hongsheng thought that no matter how good the resources were, they would not be as good as those in his own camp.
That place is a treasure trove of resources that even the infrastructure team recognizes.
But he still put on a good front and said with a smile, "Just do as you please, just do as you please."
"I wonder if this place would be convenient for us to stay? I know we're being a bit abrupt, but our camp is at least a hundred miles away, and it took us several days to get here. If you have any extra space for us to stay for two days, we'd be willing to exchange some of our camp's resources for it."
Fang Xun: "Don't worry. Our camp is often visited by people. We have built several large guest rooms specifically for this purpose. You can stay here without worry."
As he spoke, he was already asking the residents to prepare food and cook to entertain these distinguished foreign guests.
Si Lan always felt that she had nothing to do and she didn't like socializing, so she thought of leaving the people to Fang Xun to receive them and going back to continue leading the team.
Unexpectedly, as she turned around, Wang Hongsheng noticed her and immediately called out to her, "Hey, why did that beautiful lady leave?"
He quickly recalled the children's introduction and stared at Si Lan. "Just now, the children said she was the best Kung Fu practitioner in the camp? Hmm... is that the kind of Kung Fu I understand? The kind for fighting? Or some kind of technical Kung Fu?"
When Fang Xun saw Si Lan, he remembered that he had forgotten to introduce her in his excitement.
He quickly called Si Lan over: "Both kinds of kung fu are very good."
"She's the backbone of our camp. Not to mention she's better at fighting than a police officer like me, look at all those ingenious weapons and tools around the camp. She made them all. Isn't that impressive?"
Wang Hongsheng was shocked: "She did all this???"
"Yes. Our Miss Si Lan is really amazing."
Wang Hongsheng almost said "How is that possible?", but when he saw Si Lan approaching, he immediately composed his expression and mood, and extended his hand to her again: "Hello, I'm Wang Hongsheng, CEO of Peak Group, the online game that you young people play like crazy every day. I guess you've played it too?"
Si Lan was as quick-witted as ever: "I've never played it."
She didn't return the other person's handshake. The two years in the infinite flow world made her wary and resistant to physical contact with strangers.
Not to mention Wang Hongsheng, the new arrival, she hadn't even returned the handshake she owed Fan Wenqing two months prior. Although she could now chat and laugh with Fan Wenqing, she still avoided excessive physical contact with her, including those of Tao Zhenzhen.
When Wang Hongsheng realized that Si Lan refused his handshake, his face changed on the spot.
Fang Xun knew Si Lan's special habits and hurried to explain. At this moment, Pei Wen came from behind with a frown.
"how?"
He noticed with his sharp eyes that Wang Hongsheng was extending his hand towards Si Lan.
I also know what Si Lan had experienced in the past.
So he walked over quickly and stopped half a step in front of Si Lan without leaving any trace, separating her from Wang Hongsheng.
He, who has always been aloof from others, took the initiative to shake Wang Hongsheng's hand and broke the deadlock for Si Lan.
"Who is this?"
He shook the other person's hand quickly, then quickly withdrew his hand and looked at Fang Xun with curiosity.
Fang Xun knew both him and Si Lan too well, and he was obviously here to help Si Lan out of trouble.
Fang Xun replied, "He is a distinguished guest from afar, who came here specifically to exchange construction experience with us."
Pei Wen nodded and looked back at Wang Hongsheng: "Welcome then."
Wang Hongsheng was a little confused by his intervention, but his discomfort also subsided a little.
Since they were all there to welcome him, he immediately put on a smile and introduced himself again: "Hello, I'm Wang Hongsheng, CEO of Peak Group. I'm the one that everyone plays, Peak."
Pei Wen raised his eyebrows thoughtfully: "Peak."
Wang Hongsheng: "Do you know me? Have you played it? I'm the creator of this game. If you have played it, you're welcome to give me your feedback at any time. I'll go back and improve it right away."
Pei Wen politely replied, "Okay."
Wang Hongsheng asked again: "What's your name? What's your last name?"
Pei Wen: "Pei, please."
"Pei?"
"Pei Wen."
Wang Hongsheng said "Oh" and repeated it in his mouth.
But suddenly, he was stunned, and his face changed drastically when he read the name.
"Pei Wen???"
"Is that the Pei Wen I know—Boss Pei?"
The author has something to say:
Lanlan: Wow, our kid has made great progress.
