There was silence in the pharmacy at first, and then several consecutive gasps were heard.
It has to be said that Xia Yao's words did provide them with new ideas.
Looking at the faces of Sandaofo, Erdaoliu, and Qin Yang, each of whom was filled with thoughts, Xia Yao's eyes flickered slightly, and she continued to ask, "Do you have any records of the specific development process of this game?"
A game goes through countless steps from conception to investment and finally to launch. These steps inevitably leave traces behind the scenes. If you can trace back along the traces, you might find some clues.
Unexpectedly, Sandao Buddha's face turned ashen, as if he had eaten poison.
His throat rolled in his throat, and his voice became lower again: "...President, we checked."
"What's the result?"
"The database appears to be blank."
blank?
Xia Yao frowned slightly.
Even though she was an outsider, she understood the impact behind Sandao Buddha's words.
A blank database actually supports such a huge game as "Eternal Legend". If this were to be made public, the first thing that would happen would definitely not be panic, but people would be ridiculed for daydreaming.
Xia Yao glanced at the three of them and asked one final confirmation question: "Can you contact the person in charge of the factory that produces the holographic warehouse?"
Tianyu is an Internet company. Everyone knows that it is not responsible for the production of equipment, but it has its own cooperative factory K.
In the past, Xia Yao had never doubted the authenticity of K Factory, but today, she had to get confirmation from Qin Yang, the president of Tianyu.
Only Qin Yang knew the answer to this question best, and everyone's eyes fell on him.
Qin Yang looked at Xia Yao calmly and shook his head. "Not only can we not contact the person in charge, I also personally visited the place and found no factory at all, only a wasteland."
The entertainment game instantly turned into a supernatural event.
Even though Sandao Buddha had guessed this fact long ago, he still couldn't stop the goosebumps that covered his body.
Nidao Liu was a little braver than Sandobutsu, but only a little. He didn't show his fear completely on his face, but his uneasiness could be felt from his slightly restless upper body.
Xia Yao and Qin Yang were the only two calm people at the scene.
The former has always been able to accept things mentally and is fearless, while the latter may be related to his identity as a CEO. He has seen many ups and downs and can accept even supernatural events well.
Sandao Buddha looked at the two people with admiration. In a sense, the two people were quite a match, he thought in his heart.
However, Xia Yao's words brought him back to reality.
"The database is blank, the factory is a wasteland, employees have mysteriously disappeared, and there's no authority on the floor. Okay, I have a conclusion."
The eyes of Sandaofo and Nidaoliu lit up: "What conclusion?!"
“We are an untouchable existence.”
What? !
The two were shocked.
Ever since the conversation at the pharmacy, they didn't bring up the topic again for a very long time.
It’s not that they are unwilling to explore further, but they are becoming more and more certain that Xia Yao’s last words that day were definitely not a joke.
Cannot be touched, cannot be explored, cannot be doubted.
Otherwise, some of your memory will be lost.
The first to discover the abnormality was the Three Buddhas.
He is sometimes too curious. While exploring in games is a good thing, it can sometimes bring disaster.
Fortunately, he only lost the memory related to the Tianyu Building. He forgot that he had been to the 10th and 11th floors, and also forgot the conversation that day. All other memories were retained.
The second is dual-wielding.
Even though he doesn't talk much and his biggest daily interaction is bickering with the Three Buddhas, as a game participant, how could he not be curious about that so-called strange existence?
He began to manually disassemble the holographic chamber, wanting to study the structure inside, but while dismantling it, he suddenly fainted at home.
Fortunately, he lived with his parents and was found in time. He woke up automatically a few minutes later and nothing serious happened to him, except that he forgot why he dismantled the machine and the content of the conversation that day.
As his boss, Qin Yang was the first to receive a call from Er Daoliu's parents, saying that their son was not feeling well and needed to take a day off the next day. Only then did he know about Er Daoliu's affair.
After these two incidents, Xia Yao and Qin Yang confirmed that they could not delve any deeper into this secret.
As long as they don't touch, everything is peaceful as usual.
Three months later, the players discovered that several more shops suddenly appeared in the city of Demeter in the far northwest.
The players who were doing quests there were immediately surprised, after all, this place was empty when they came here before.
"Oh my god, who's so flush with cash that they'd open a shop in this godforsaken place?"
"And they are the hotels and restaurants that need popularity the most..."
"Yeah, isn't everyone rushing to the Northeast Continent to develop now? Why are there still people heading northwest?"
The Northeast Continent refers to the city of Poseidon located in the northeast.
Because of the relocation and settlement of the first guild Sword and Rose more than three months ago, the originally unpopular town has gradually become popular.
Later, with the joining of the top ten guilds, the Beiming Capital, the city prospered further.
In addition, new dungeons are constantly being released in the northern Cambrian Mountains, and there are many level 40-50 wild monsters that can be spawned at the foot of the mountains, so more and more players are passing through Poseidon City.
In order to cater to their needs, shops opened one after another, and restaurants and hotels emerged in large numbers.
The economy of Poseidon City developed and it became the third largest city on the continent, second only to the rebuilt Ares City.
As a city develops, it will inevitably attract more players and businessmen, thus forming a virtuous circle. Rich people come to buy land one after another. No matter how high the current price is, as long as they hear the news that the city lord is releasing new land, they will immediately pay for it.
This phenomenon is jokingly called the "number one effect" by players around the world.
As long as you follow the leaderboard, you will never have to worry about not having meat to eat.
But now the meat is in the northeast, who wouldn’t be smart enough to go to the northwest to invest?
Several players walked towards the restaurant while talking. They were really curious and wanted to know who the owner was.
As a result, several people were dumbfounded before they even reached the door of the store.
"Shit, it's the Sword and Rose banner!"
"The boss is coming here to develop again?!"
"Is this some new tactic? Or is it some unknowable prediction of the future development of the continent?!"
"I don't care about predictions. What were we talking about just now? The number one effect! How many gold coins do you have in your account? Why don't we pool our money and take advantage of this opportunity to buy a store!"
All players around the world know that the first few batches of players who followed the number one player to develop in Poseidon City received huge benefits!
Not only is the land price low, but you can also sign various preferential agreements and enjoy special support policies... It's like buying high-quality gold for the price of steamed buns!
Who wouldn’t want this opportunity to make money?
This made the players who had no business sense at the time extremely envious, and they said they regretted not investing in Poseidon City.
But today, at this moment!
They actually found traces of the sword and the rose in the northwestern town of Demeter!!!
Business opportunity! Huge business opportunity!
If you don’t take action now, when will you take action?
So they started checking their accounts one by one.
"I have 120,000 yuan."
"I have 150,000 yuan."
"I'm a little short, only 70,000..."
"That's enough! Let's all get together and buy as much as we can!"
Several people rushed towards the resident management center as if they were on wheels of fire.
As soon as I catch an NPC, I start asking about the price.
"Which direction is the cheapest store? What's the price?"
NPC: "Shops in Area C are the cheapest, ranging from 80,000 to 100,000."
Several people's eyes lit up!
"Great, we can afford it! Let's go, brothers!"
"Let me calculate, we have 340,000 in total, which can buy 3 stores!"
"Okay! Go ahead!"
In less than 5 minutes, the three people immediately signed a house purchase agreement with the NPC.
Looking at the electronic documents in the backstage, they couldn't help but shed tears of excitement and anticipation!
From today on, they will become millionaires!
Three days later, the system issued an announcement: Cosimo Continent, which borders Demeter City, is open!
Cosimo Continent is the main gathering place for goblins. Once the continent is opened, it means that both humans and goblins will have to pass through the checkpoint of Demeter City.
The small city suddenly welcomed a huge influx of visitors, and for a while the goblins who came to do business couldn't find a place to stay.
A group of goblins stood in front of an inn called "Sword and Rose No. 12," and angrily questioned the manager, "Hey, is this how you treat guests from afar? You don't even give them a place to stay!"
"That's right, don't you know we're here to do business with you humans? Since you're so unenthusiastic, we'll talk to the Goblin King and decide not to trade with you."
The inn manager, Huang Cheng, politely stepped forward and delivered the same refrain he'd repeated countless times tonight: "Excuse me, everyone. Our inn is fully booked today. We really don't have any rooms available. How about this: walk left out of this street. There are three other hotels over there that might have rooms available."
A few goblins chattered for a few more words, and finally headed in the direction pointed by the imperial city.
The inn business on the side streets is not as good as that on the main street, but the advantage is that the goblins have a place to stay.
The human store manager smiled as he arranged everything for the goblins. Finally, he returned to the front desk and lamented to his brothers, "It's a good thing we greeted the Sword and Rose people and made ourselves familiar with them. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had so much business coming in today."
"Yeah, even though they're the top guild, they seem to be pretty nice people, not too arrogant. I remember their manager was called Huang Cheng Gen Xia, right? He's a very down-to-earth guy, and he's helped us a lot lately."
"Let's go visit and express our gratitude some other day. Otherwise, why would so many goblins come to rest today?"
"Of course, that's what we should do."
Several people talked happily and drank the wine on the table, looking very happy.
I'm so glad they bought the three shops in time, otherwise they wouldn't be able to make money so leisurely today.
The author has something to say:
Good news, it should be finished tomorrow.
