Hearing thunder in a silent place is the most frightening.
Overnight, Canaan Company underwent a major change of personnel. Many old acquaintances and old faces disappeared. There were all reasonable reasons on the surface. They were either on business trips or had better development, but none of them were spies.
Leak related.
Canaan Company is nothing.
I don’t know how many people were involved from top to bottom, just for some infinite quality and useless technical drawings. It’s hard to say whether they made a loss or a profit.
It is indeed calm in society, there is not even the slightest sound of wind, singing goes on, dancing goes on, and the earth continues to turn around without anyone.
Only the foreign media got wind of it and hyped it up for a while, but they are used to looking at everything in China through colored filters, and no matter how loud they shout, it won't have any impact.
Yu Qingdong's beautiful secretary was naturally on the disappeared list, and he was sad for a while.
There is a strange atmosphere in the company, and there are rumors circulating everywhere. However, the situation is similar to the corruption incident that occurred during the third test. Most of the gossips point to this aspect.
In addition, the most severely affected department was not the department led by Yu Qingdong, but those "mother-in-laws" with state-owned assets background. The company's daily operations were not significantly affected.
Yu Qingdong strictly followed the instructions and tried to keep things quiet. No matter who came to inquire, he told them not to think nonsense and that it was just a normal flow of people.
This time he was really scared. Thinking about it afterwards, although he was not directly involved, the people around him were infiltrated. The most terrifying thing was the head teacher of his daughter’s elementary school. He came to the house several times and talked to his family.
That silly woman... maybe some secrets were leaked here.
It was lucky that he was able to walk out unharmed, and there was no punishment at all afterwards. Why should he continue to stay in the position of CEO?
Of course, with the words of the chairman - Xiao Yu!
ha!
Does this count as relying on foreigners to show self-respect?
"Mr. Yu, this lawsuit can't be delayed any longer. The public relations department really can't settle it. We must take a clear attitude."
The CFO who pushed in the door was his old brother from Warwick Company. Yu Qingdong was extremely lucky that he was not affected this time, so he looked at him with a look that the other party could not understand and said nothing.
"What's wrong?"
The CFO thought there was something wrong with his attire.
"Then just show a clear attitude."
"ah?"
"This lawsuit is a farce. All actions of players in the game should not be equated with reality. The ownership of virtual wealth should be determined by the rules in the game and should not be copied to the corresponding scenes in reality.
Our company supports all normal behaviors of players in the game... Well, that's it. You go down and find someone to polish it and make an announcement."
"...I'm the chief financial officer!"
"Didn't the person in charge of the public relations department resign? Please inform Lao Xia of the human resources department..."
"Lao Xia has left too."
"Then notify his deputy!"
"His deputy is no longer here, otherwise I wouldn't be the one looking for you..."
The human resources and public relations departments seem to be the hardest hit areas this time. Some people who drag their connections and come in through the back door are mostly concentrated in these glamorous positions...
Yu Qingdong scratched his scalp in distress, habitually wanting to ask his secretary to bring in the personnel files, but when he raised his hand, he remembered that the beauty was also in trouble.
Oh, what the hell is this?
By the time we found the right person and released the announcement, it was already half an hour later and the CFO hadn't left. He was just looking for an excuse to come over and talk.
"Don't ask around when you shouldn't. The more you know, the worse it will be for you!" Yu Qingdong warned the old brother sincerely.
"Is it because...", the CFO made a gesture of counting money.
With a straight face, Yu Qingdong changed the topic and asked: "Your finance department has performed very well this time. The company will reward you. This year's year-end bonus will give you a big red envelope."
Seeing that there was really nothing he could say, the CFO had no choice but to give up and get down to business.
"...With such a large sum of money in my account, it would be a pity to do nothing. I wonder if I should spend it and make some investments..."
"Money, what money?"
"The profit last quarter was more than 200 billion..."
"Isn't that shareholder dividends?"
"It's a dividend, but no one has ever taken it. You know, the money from the Chinese Academy of Sciences can't survive the night, and the rest..."
When Yu Qingdong heard this, the hairs all over his body stood up.
"Is that the chairman's dividend?"
"Yes, yes, our chairman seems to have forgotten that such a thing exists."
"Don't move. I'm warning you not to think about this money, otherwise no one can save you."
"Do you think I want to embezzle? Am I that kind of person? I mean, it seems that the chairman will not need to use this money for a while. It is better to make some conservative investments. Wherever you put the money, it will depreciate. You go
Let’s communicate with this Chairman who has never seen the beginning of the dragon..."
"Stop, this is not something you need to worry about. Lao Liang, your idea is very dangerous. Are you asking about something? Brother, after all these years, I can only remind you this far."
"What, how dare I..."
Maybe I'm overthinking it.
Watching his old brother leave, Yu Qingdong reflected on whether he was too sensitive and was a bit like a warrior.
However, there is something wrong with that huge amount of money remaining in the account without any disposal. It will become suspicious after a long time.
Damn it, I have to delete files for the next test and I haven’t figured out how to deal with it yet. I have to worry about even this kind of thing?
I have no choice but to report it.
"Uh... you should contact him and see what he wants."
"No approval is required. Go through the procedures and so on?"
"No, just record and file it afterwards."
What does this mean?
When he put down the phone, he was confused.
So cautious yesterday and so casual today?
Yu Qingdong suddenly felt that the office had become unsafe, as if there were many pairs of eyes staring at him.
In Canaan, Bei Gaoyang had just settled down the Mind Flayer and the Fallen Angel of Light. He lay alone on the leather sofa on the first floor of the Mage Tower, stretched out comfortably, and sighed: "It's still more comfortable at home!"
Xiao Ai was analyzing and processing the information and experimental data he brought back, and separated a part of the thread to condense the image of a cartoon rabbit on the sofa opposite, "Does the fifth test really have to be deleted?"
"It won't work without deleting the file!" Bei Gaoyang also said with a headache, "Given the environment of the abyss and the cruelty of the bloody battle, most of the system resources must be used to fight against the erosion of the abyss consciousness and protect the player's soul, at least in small
In order to realize the undead natural disaster that can be infinitely resurrected within the scope, some less important game functions must be cut off and some simplifications must be made.”
The cartoon rabbit nodded and said: "Equipment and props have always been the bulk of expenditure. Even if there is no bloody battle in the abyss, I would like to suggest to you that you make some necessary adjustments."
"Are you saying there are too many special effects?"
"Yes, some high-level players now have more special effects and special skills than their own professional skills. As a result, some melee-style mages, long-range barbarians, and control-style shooters have appeared... This not only imitates the professional characteristics of Lake, but also has a great impact.
When it comes to the balance of the game, it’s a design mistake.”
Bei Gaoyang rubbed his brows and said helplessly: "I didn't think so thoroughly at the beginning. If I use it, problems of this kind will naturally arise in the middle and later stages. Your main job now is to design a simple, clear,
An equipment and prop system with high playability and plasticity has been released. We will delete the files during this test and correct this design flaw."
"Okay, let players rely more on their personal strength and awareness rather than equipment and props..."
"But don't go too far. Equipment and props are the main theme of the game."
"No, sir."
"Come out the first draft first."
Xiao Ai agreed and asked: "What about other aspects?"
"Levels, professions, props and equipment, backpacks, and warehouses cannot be retained. Others can be inherited."
"Family residence, life and career level, etc.?"
"We also need to adjust our life and career, so we should delete files!"
A fleeting word can obliterate the hard work and dedication of countless people day and night, as well as the massive investment...
Neither Bei Gaoyang nor Xiao Ai realized this, or they realized it and didn't care much about it.
In some small things, he doesn't mind showing a 'fatherly' tolerance to the players, but in such a major matter that concerns vital interests, what is the player's wish? That is the responsibility of Canaan Company.
, naturally it is left to 'Xiao Yu' to care and handle.
While casually chatting with Xiao Ai about the five tests, he called up the background data and looked through the big and small things that happened during Qi's absence.
Xiao Ai's system life was such that every detail was recorded. When he saw a record, Bei Gaoyang laughed and said, "Have you caught Nicholas' tail?"
"Yes, it's a Horcrux. It may be something he plans to use to lure the forces on Earth, or it may be something he wants to sneak to Earth?"
"Haha, smuggling, this word is used wonderfully!"
"Aren't you worried?"
"Worry, what are you worried about? I still want it... So, is there any way to facilitate this and make this annoying old guy's wish come true?"
"..."
"Forget it, let's not get into trouble. We need to consider the perception of Little Demon Abyss... Everything is catching up one by one, and it doesn't let anyone take a breath... How is the Centaur side?"
"Hurry, the first wave of centaur tribes that have been defeated from the front line will soon spread to the game area."
"The centaur is really defeated!"
"Yes, it was a complete defeat."
"The Centaur pantheon can no longer be saved. Does this mean that the gods and the church have freed up their hands and feet?"
"Yes!"
"We are having a hard time!"
"...Time is tight!"
Bei Gaoyang gave a bitter smile. If you have too many debts, you don't have to worry. If you have too many lice, you don't need to itch. Anyway, if you can't avoid them, let's fight head-on. Who is afraid of whom?
"What's going on with this record, suit?"
"The loopholes caused by the economic imbalance inside and outside the system have been caught by players, and I have made up for it."
"What compensation, import tax?"
"You can't encourage this kind of taking advantage of loopholes, right?"
"Since it is our responsibility to have loopholes, why can't players exploit them? Why can't they exploit them?"
Xiao Ai was confused by his attitude. He was merciless just now and used the big killer tool of deleting files to wipe out the hard work and efforts of all players in one fell swoop. Why now...
"Looking for loopholes and bugs is inherently a kind of game fun, a game experience that people talk about. If there are loopholes, let them exploit them. Let the players devote themselves selflessly and devote all their energy and efforts.
In terms of game experience, isn’t it the goal we have been pursuing? This is very beneficial to the faith value. You are so petty about import taxes. Are you trying to compete with players like this? "
"Then...cancel!?"
"Forget it, forget it, it's going to be deleted anyway, it doesn't matter. Next time, pay attention. If something like this happens again, you should look at it from an overall perspective. Don't be like a miser, staring at some insignificant details.
Comparing gains and losses with players."
"...Okay, sir."
After criticizing Xiao Ai, I continued to browse the system logs, and soon found content I was interested in again.
"So, this demon player with a hidden profession is doing a pretty good job?"
"Yes, he has secretly controlled a kobold tribe of more than a hundred people. Not only has he developed the leader into his 'client', but he has also disguised himself as some kind of 'Tuwang' who can satisfy everyone's wishes."
, after several sacrifices, the abyss consciousness has noticed him and given a certain response..."
"Notice him? It must be the Magic Network, right?"
"Yes."
"Is this model feasible? As the agent of demon players, the feedback from the abyss consciousness is given to Demon Network. What does Demon Network get?"
"A brand new energy, an unnameable dark energy other than soul power value and belief value. It is a bit like the dark matter of the earth. The magic network cannot analyze it and cannot use it."
"You will be able to use it soon. I know this...dark energy. It is the 'dark side' rule of the crystal wall system. It is something similar to Gaia's consciousness. What a good thing!" Bei Gaoyang was excited at this time.
He stood up, rubbed his hands and stood up excitedly, "You did a good job, just use dark energy to define this new energy!"
"OK."
"The fifth test is vigorously promoting the demon race...well, there is no need to hide it, just treat it as an official professional race!"
"Would it be too radical? In terms of career balance, gameplay, and..."
"Uh...it's true. Let me think about it again."
Bei Gaoyang cooled down his fevered brain and discovered that dark energy was of great significance, and it was even more significant for the bloody battle of the abyss he was about to participate in. It turned out that he was worried about whether the five-layer magic network could resist the erosion of the abyss consciousness. Players
Whether it can withstand the intensity of the bloody battle? With dark energy, there is a way and confidence to solve all this.
However, it is still too risky to vigorously promote the demon race profession. He does not want the magic network to suddenly give birth to his own consciousness one day, nor does he want the magic network and all players to "fall" and become prisoners of the abyss consciousness.
"Just use dark energy to make another system demon...and let's talk about other aspects!"
Bei Gaoyang turned off the system and sat down on the sofa again, taking stock of everything with Xiao Ai.
Combat power system.
Arena mode.
Career redesign and balance.
The Centaur rout invades the game area.
Mount and familiar system.
The high-level monsters are expensive and the second level is difficult to test.
