"Master, I have an appointment. The person is not someone you know and has not left any ID."
When Cheng Peng got up from the deep physiotherapy machine, the et electronic housekeeper gave him a towel and told him something that surprised him a little.
The electronic housekeeper's database is quite comprehensive, and the security settings are even more stringent. All people who have contact with Cheng Peng are within the scope of "people they know" registered by it, and unless their identity is confidential
And if safety can be ensured, otherwise it would be impossible for the person making the appointment not to leave their ID.
In other words, the person who made the appointment to meet - or those people - were strangers to Cheng Peng, but not only did they have identities that complied with confidentiality regulations, but this identity was also judged to be completely harmless by the electronic butler who was so protective that it was unreasonable...
...This is simply impossible!
The confidentiality level of the identity itself means danger, such as state agents and the like - unless they are some quasi-electroshock therapy patients who can't distinguish between reality and illusion, normal people will never want to associate with these people.
Anyone whose identity is worthy of being kept secret is associated with him.
For an electronic butler whose first instinct is to protect the owner, a person with this status is a "potential threat". No matter what credentials are presented, he will report to the owner that "dangerous elements are approaching" without exception.
But this time I encountered an exception.
With some uneasiness, Cheng Peng waited until the appointed time and met the two people.
The two men looked non-threatening in any way. They were ordinary, somewhat thin, and wearing thick glasses.
It can be seen that they have carefully arranged their appearance. The thin scars on their chins must have been shaved recently. They subconsciously touched the collar and trouser legs, indicating that they are not used to formal wear. These are two people who are usually a bit lazy, and may even have arrived.
Young people who are "unkempt".
"Hello, Mr. Cheng Peng." The slightly older one spoke first, with a slightly awkward smile, "We are the GMs of "Adventure", I am GM04, and he is GM113."
Cheng Peng understood immediately.
The identity of the GM of "Adventure" is indeed qualified to be kept secret, and it is indeed impossible to pose any threat to Cheng Peng - even if these two brothers are civil servants, they do not have any administrative power, and they do not have any
There is no need for force, but the most important thing is that you can tell by looking at their expressions that they are not here to cause trouble, but to wipe their own troubles.
He smiled kindly, welcomed the two uneasy GMs—it was not him who was uneasy now—in, asked the electronic butler to bring tea, and then let him watch from the side.
His meaning is clear: you have the right to remain silent, but every word you say may become testimony against you.
The other party obviously understood what he meant, looked at each other, and sighed in unison.
"Forget it, there's no point in being secretive." The still older gm04 said, "We are here to apologize."
Cheng Peng didn't answer, just looked at him with questioning eyes.
"On August 15th of the first year of the game, your game character in "Adventure" triggered a very special mission due to our temporary downtime." gm04 spoke very slowly, probably planning a suitable mission.
Rhetoric: "The explanatory text for this mission is in charge of gm113, but he was fascinated by Huang Yi's novels during that time, and kept muttering about 'there is nothing else but the sword'...so..."
"I roughly understand." Cheng Peng interrupted his explanation and said slowly, "The 'Qilin Demon' state that will 'lead to account deletion' is simply impossible to occur, right?"
Of course he understands what's going on!
In any case, it is impossible for the game designers to seriously delete the player's account, so the player who was infected with the Qilin Fire Poison will be infected with Qilin Mad Blood after dying once, and as time goes by, the madness will gradually increase, and eventually become a Qilin Demon
And causing a situation equivalent to deleting a character, there must be something wrong!
"Yes, in fact, once Qilin's crazy blood is activated, it will trigger the task of 'Wind God's inheritance'. The system will prompt you to go to Lingyun Cave, find Nie Feng, and learn the Six Aohan Jue and Bingxin Jue from him..." gm113
He seemed relieved and hurriedly explained, "Of course it won't lead to account deletion..."
"But the instructions you gave didn't mention anything related to this, right?" Cheng Peng asked with a smile, "Can this be understood as a mistake on your part?"
gm113 grimaced and nodded.
"And I have another question." Cheng Peng smiled again, "The so-called 'Wind God inheritance' means that the person who activates that task will become the successor of Nie Feng and inherit the Nie family's sword skills, right?"
gm113 nodded, looking a little uneasy.
"What I am good at is marksmanship rather than swordsmanship, but the Nie family's kung fu is swordsmanship. This probably means that my basic skills will be forced to be changed to swordsmanship, right?" Cheng Peng smiled politely,
There were beads of sweat on gm113's forehead, "And I probably won't have a choice then, right?"
Awkward silence.
After a few minutes, Cheng Peng interrupted the silence with laughter: "Forget it, it's all over."
But before the two GMs could breathe a sigh of relief, he continued: "Although the matter has passed, I don't think you two thought that just apologizing can settle the matter, right?"
Their expressions suddenly froze.
"Not only that, your omissions actually go beyond this. What's more important is that I was infected with Qilin Fire Poison because of your sudden shutdown. Originally, I was only supposed to be bitten to death once." Cheng Peng picked up the teacup and drank.
He took a sip and then sighed deeply, "It really caused me a lot of trouble..."
"This is indeed due to our work mistakes..."
"Okay, don't mention the past anymore. I know everyone doesn't want to." Cheng Peng waved his hand as if he didn't mind, as if erasing the clouds on the horizon, "The important thing is to look forward to the future, right?"
He didn't say any more.
The hint is so obvious, if the other party still doesn't respond, then they should ask the electronic butler to throw them out to cool off!
Fortunately, the two GMs did not pretend to be deaf to obvious things like the "relevant departments" in the past. They smiled wryly, shook their heads, sighed, and gave an answer other than an apology.
As an apology for hindering Cheng Peng's normal game play, the "Adventure" operation department can give him appropriate compensation.
"But we have to explain: it is impossible for us to break the rules of the game and give you any equipment, props, game currencies, general points and mission information..." gm004 was probably worried that Cheng Peng would make a big deal, so he gave him a vaccination in advance.
"So artifacts, pets, gold coins, etc..."
"Did I say I need those?" Cheng Peng interrupted him again, "You should have investigated me before you came, right?"
nod.
"As the most popular player among players, do I need to destroy my reputation for things that are just icing on the cake?"
Shake his head.
"So, you don't need to mention those boring things at all." Although Cheng Peng was smiling, there was not much smile in his eyes, "You deliberately mentioned these, just to bargain, right? But I don't like it very much!"
"A man, if you have anything to say, just say it. Don't hide it behind closed doors, and don't play tricks on me like roundabout attacks! I'm a history student, and I'm much more familiar with the art of war and strategy than you are!"
gm004 sighed, and his face that had been smiling became serious.
"Actually, I don't want to say these boring words, I don't want to at all!" He pulled open his tie forcefully, as if using this action to help himself breathe easier, "Let's get straight to the point, in fact, we really don't have a good compensation plan.
, we discussed and discussed and finally came up with an idea.”
"Oh?" Cheng Peng really smiled this time.
"When new smaller worlds are opened in the game, lots will be drawn to randomly select some players who are willing to sign up so that they can enter that world first. You know this, right?"
Cheng Peng nodded - many small worlds simply cannot accommodate too many players, so they generally adopt a copy system and draw lots from the players who are willing to go to that world to determine the order of entry - this method is commonly known as queuing.
According to the dungeon reward principle, the rewards for the first batch of players will be better, while subsequent players can refer to the previous strategies to obtain a higher dungeon completion level. There will not be a significant difference, but in any case, "get first"
"One step" is always a joyful thing.
So he roughly guessed the content of the reward given by the other party.
"Three times." gm004 raised three fingers and said, "We can give you three opportunities to skip the lottery, skip the queue, and directly enter the newly opened small dungeon world."
Cheng Peng thought for a while and asked: "There won't be a second time for such a 'good thing', right?"
The word "good thing" was deliberately emphasized by him, and the implication is self-evident.
The two GMs shook their heads like rattles.
"What I need is a clear answer!"
"There won't be a next time! Absolutely not!" gm004 said seriously.
"Very good then, deal." Cheng Peng laughed, stood up and shook hands with the two GMs one by one.
The GMs smiled relaxedly and felt relieved as they left.
Cheng Peng also let go of a stone that had been weighing on his heart and felt a lot more relaxed.
Of course, he would not be naive enough to believe that the original Qilin Fire Poison was just an accident, but the explanation of "accident" was acceptable to both parties - the key was what came with this explanation.
As for the three opportunities to avoid drawing lots and skipping queues, they are just a joke. It’s good to have them, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t have them. The core problem lies in the official attitude - providing compensation and making a guarantee that there will not be another time, which proves
His previous speculation also illustrates the attitude of the operators of "Adventure".
Then, after the rain, the sky cleared up and the sea and sky were brighter.
After a good night's rest, Cheng Peng entered the game and came to the Star Gate.
He did not rush to a certain world, but opened the new world list and looked for the one he was interested in among the dungeon worlds that needed to be queued.
It didn't take him long to find a world that looked great.
"Westward Journey: Part 1". World level 3-5 stars, dungeon mode, dungeon has twelve people, divided into groups of two, totaling six groups. It is scheduled to be opened on January 12, 2020, the game time. It is now open
