"150,000, an annual salary of 150,000, how about you don't have to do anything and just play this game?"
"1.15 million!?"
An old dormitory building, a cramped, humble, poor home, an unsatisfactory, aging son with social phobia, and a pair of elderly parents whose backs have been bent by the burden of life.
Wanda Games executives in suits and ties made an offer that the family could not refuse. The parents' eyes widened in disbelief, as if they were dreaming.
"I, I won't do it, capitalists don't have any good things!"
My son who has social phobia usually blushes when talking to strangers. He never knows how to refuse others, but this time he refused immediately.
"slight!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
His parents were even more frightened when they heard this. They stopped their son and looked nervously at the man in the suit's face.
"150,000, the conditions can be negotiated." The man in the suit was sure that the family would not refuse. He looked at this shabby and embarrassed family with envy in his heart.
Damn it, why can’t I have this kind of shitty luck?
"I, let's discuss it, the child's father!?"
"Yes, yes, let's discuss it, let's discuss it!"
"Anyway, if you want to move the helmet, you can't do it. There's no need to discuss it!"
"You damn kid, didn't I promise not to damage your things?"
"Capitalists can't believe it!"
"you……"
"Okay, let's discuss it. This is the contract and this is my business card."
"Ah, you... you have to leave now, sit down again, sit down again... the child's father, how about... we don't need to discuss it, right?"
"Yes, yes, what to discuss, no need to discuss, we agreed, we signed!"
"Anyway, I won't sign. Dad, Mom, I will make money, much more than 150,000."
The man in the suit sneered silently, which was even more dazzling in the eyes of his sociophobic son. Anyway, he gritted his teeth and refused to agree. His parents were kind enough to persuade him at first, but as the man in the suit became more and more impatient,
His face was anxious.
Fighting, scolding, and quarreling are the norm in this family. That 150,000 yuan is like a beam of light coming from heaven, so dreamy, so warm.
"You are unorganized and undisciplined. What qualifications do you have to make such remarks on behalf of the Chinese Academy of Sciences?"
In another room, Liao Chunming, the initiator of the current trend, is also facing a choice.
"I reacted and submitted my report immediately. Who among them listened to me? They didn't pay attention to it, sneered at it, and didn't even bother to verify it. I had no choice but to make my views public. I have such a right."
Liao Chunming felt aggrieved when faced with the inspection team, "I didn't pay attention to such a major technological breakthrough at all. I had to wait until it had a social effect to make up for it. What was wrong with me? I was right."
"Do you think we don't know what you are doing? Do you have shares in 'Mars Technology'? You published unconfirmed information to the public in the name of the Chinese Academy of Sciences without authorization. Is your purpose really that simple!?"
Liao Chunming's heart tightened when he heard this. This was the weakness he was most afraid of, and he really couldn't hide it.
He didn't expect that it would cause such a big fuss. He admitted that his purpose was not simple, and he had some idea of taking advantage of the opportunity to benefit the company in which he was a shareholder, but he did not spread rumors. Facts have proved that what he said was true.
Yes, this has been rigorously, carefully and scientifically verified repeatedly.
It was a virtual reality game. It appeared so abruptly, almost like a child's play. No one knew where it came from, but it just existed.
Why don't you find the person behind the game now and why are you trying to keep me from letting go?
"If it is found that you are consciously manipulating the stock price and seeking improper economic benefits, then it will be a simple inquiry like this now... Go down and think about it!"
Liao Chunming returned to the office with a heavy heart and turned on the computer. Naturally, the interview in which he broke the news was nowhere to be seen. The related popularity was still there, but bad signs had already appeared on the Internet.
“The market regulatory authorities and the China Banking Regulatory Commission announced an internal investigation into Yuanverse-related concept stocks, and reminded investors that there are risky investments in the market and they need to be cautious.”
"Ali Cloud temporarily shelved a major investment and acquisition plan, and the stock price of the unicorn "Maoyun International" fell accordingly."
"The telecommunications department stated that the necessary base conditions are not yet available, and the metaverse is still just a concept."
"The BBC published a themed column today, interviewing an international authority in the field of brain-computer interaction and a Nobel Prize winner in physics... The concept of the metaverse that is currently widely spread in China is pure speculation, but it refuses to comment on "Canaan Online"
"Comment on the authenticity of "."
"Everyone wants to cover it up, but they are all trying to hide it!" Liao Chunming turned off the computer and opened the commonly used stock software, and it was still a bright red.
What if it's fake, what if it's a prank, what if it's a mistake... No, it can't be fake.
I'm right, I have a clear conscience.
At the same time, a total of 17 tightly protected boxes were sent to a hidden testing base.
A box was opened in a sterile, dust-free room free of magnetic fields and static electricity interference. Two men in protective suits carefully took out a helmet and put it into an instrument similar to nuclear magnetic resonance.
Two hours later, the helmet was torn into pieces. Since no trace of the connection could be found, it had to be cut with a laser.
"...It was originally supposed to be a motorcycle helmet, a common style on the market. It was processed through a process that we don't understand yet, and it was fused with a composite material that we can't detect and analyze yet, forming a
Material we don’t understand yet.”
"...The surface of its mask is coated with an incredible coating, which is radioactive to a certain extent. It has its own energy spectrum...it seems to be breathing!"
"...We cannot restore it, nor can we analyze and understand the principle of its working. It is a completely different technology, completely different from any known technology and technology on the earth."
"... We tend to think that aliens made it... Yes, there is no other explanation."
After destroying a helmet and arriving at some vague conclusion, naturally no one will be satisfied.
Then, four carefully selected soldiers, artists, experts in human psychology and cognition, and athletes put on helmets under heavy surveillance and testing.
Suffocating to wait!
Half a minute later, the soldier took off his helmet first, with a confused expression on his face.
Everyone watching him through the monitors felt their hearts sink.
Is it an oolong?
"Uh... there is a line of text in the helmet that says 'The server is under maintenance, please wait'."
"Yes, yes, it is being maintained and updated." A bald scientist said with relief.
Everyone just thought it was weird. Who would have thought that people like them would have to worry about the maintenance and update of a game?
