"Due to the suspension of pre-sales of game qualifications, large-scale protests have occurred across North America. Please see the reports from frontline reporters in Los Angeles!"
"...It can be seen that downtown Los Angeles has turned into a battlefield. Extreme protesters smashed stores and burned cars. Clashes between police and civilians have caused hundreds of injuries and thousands of people have been arrested and jailed!"
"In response to the massive wave of protests that have occurred across the United States, the influence of the Canaan game has made relevant people worried. Senior Elephant Party Senator Joe Barton said at an urgent security meeting that the CCCP and China have not had any relationship for decades.
What Canaan Games can accomplish easily is to 'invade' the minds of teenagers..."
"...The security situation in Japan has also worried people with insight. Because of the 10 million yen sale price, protests and conflicts similar to those in North America have broken out in various parts of Japan. Several serious quarrels broke out between protesters and supporters.
The physical conflict resulted in several deaths and dozens of injuries."
"...How can a game be so influential? China did not even have a single soldier. While earning huge profits, it silently 'soft invaded' countries around the world, silently affecting countless people.
The most terrifying thing is the understanding and perception of it.”
"Please, please, nurse, nurse lady?"
"Hi, is the patient feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"Uh...please help me turn off the TV."
"Are you bothering me? What's the hot news recently..."
Lying on the hospital bed, Koji Ikeda endured the dull pain in his abdomen and sat up with the help of the nurse. A smile appeared on his pale face and he said to the nurse: "What day is today?"
"Today, I heard that the application for game qualifications ends."
"Ah, are you here so soon?"
"Yeah, I heard it's extremely popular. Is this game really profitable?"
"Please, can you get my phone?"
"The hospital has regulations..."
"Please, I want to apply for gaming qualifications. Today is the deadline."
"Ah, are you doing it for..."
The nurse covered her mouth in surprise and stared at Ikeda's bandaged abdomen, where a kidney had just been lost.
The look in the nurse's eyes made Ikeda embarrassed, but he still tried to straighten his back and used his eyes as a silent reminder.
"Ah, I'll bring it here to you."
"Thanks!"
After getting back the mobile phone that was stored in the hospital, Ikeda couldn't wait to check the numbers on his bank account. When he saw an extra 20 million yen in deposits, he felt happy, sad, excited, and confused.
But there was no time for him to sigh, so he immediately logged into the Japanese website of Canaan Games. His identity information had been entered long ago, and finally the advance payment of 10 million yen was stuck. At this time, he only needed to pay.
Maybe there were too many people doing this at the same time, so the prepayment button never responded. Ikeda’s fingers were numb, and the phone screen was covered with sweat stains left by tension.
Fortunately, the server finally processed his application, the page jumped to the next page, the payment was successful, and Koji Ikeda's identity information was successfully added to the queue waiting for grouping.
Looking at the time, he saw that two hours had passed. Only then did he realize that there were many missed calls and text messages on his phone.
"Moses Moses, Miss Kyoko?"
"Ikeda, why are you just calling me now?"
"Uh...sorry..."
"Today is the end of application, you know, right?"
"I know, I just paid the advance payment."
"You...what did you do?"
"It's nothing, I just participated in a voluntary donation event... Haha, don't talk about that, how about you, have you settled your 10 million yen?"
"Ikeda, you actually did it..."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time. Ikeda held back the sadness, anger and tears in his heart, and forced a happy smile and said: "I'm lucky, the match is just right, and the other person is very happy."
"That's not necessary..."
"What will happen if I don't do this? Ten million yen cannot be changed... The doctor said that it has almost no impact on physical health. My health is good and I am still young. Didn't Canaan say that there are ways to transform and strengthen the human body?
Is it effective? As long as you become a player, everything will be solved."
"But the advance payment is only one ten thousandth..."
"Miss Kyoko!" Ikeda interrupted his friend rudely and said firmly: "I will definitely become a player, definitely!"
"...Okay, I wish you good luck, Ikeda-kun, I'm going to work hard too."
"If there is nothing you can do, I can help..."
"Stop, Ikeda-kun, stop, I have my own way, I won't lose to you."
"Miss Kyoko, please don't do anything stupid."
"Where did you want to go, Mr. Ikeda? I won't do those things. My friend introduced an organization to recruit some volunteers to test new drugs. I heard that there is not much danger, and they can settle the nutrition in one go.
The fee is quite a lot."
An indescribable sadness hit Ikeda's heart. The sunlight coming in from the window was so dazzling, but it couldn't give him any warmth.
Ikeda wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know how to persuade him. He wanted to use the remaining ten million to help his friend, but he knew that the other person's pride would never accept the money he got from selling his body organs.
Self-esteem, poor self-esteem, cheap self-esteem, and priceless self-esteem.
After hanging up the phone, Ikeda calmed down for a while before letting the negative emotions pass. He tried his best to think of some happy things, then picked up the phone and paid attention to the situation of the group lottery.
I watched the lottery video for the fourth test in China over and over again. I discussed it on the Internet with those cloud players who also paid advance payments, and speculated that Japan might have adopted a lottery situation. My words were full of tension and expectation.
In addition to valuable information, the Internet is also filled with a large number of rumors and harsh criticisms and accusations. There are riots taking place in North America, the European Union is meeting to discuss the risks and challenges brought about by "soft invasion", and the Middle East is being blamed for the gods and priests in the game.
There's a lot of professional quarrel, a certain country has declared Canaan a contraband, and so on.
A Canaan is stirring up changes in the world and is on the cusp of the storm. An Internationalization is nakedly revealing the influence and charm of the Canaan game, just like a volcano that has been suppressed for a long time and is about to erupt violently.
In such a storm of information, ordinary people can easily get lost. Some people shout that Canaan has no borders, and others immediately jump out and slap them in the face with a lot of evidence and facts.
No one can ignore or deny the fact that Canaan belongs to China, the majority of players are Chinese, and even the server and everything in the game are under the control of China.
The real situation is naturally not like this. The top leaders of many countries actually know that there are major hidden secrets during this period, but all the "black alien technologies" speculated in the past have disappeared, leaving only the fear of "soft invasion".
The official stance of the Chinese government is very ambiguous, and it is all about official propaganda, but Canaan Company is very tough. After tentatively deciding to apply for game qualifications in North America, it has successively stopped sales in several countries in Central Asia.
"There are many people who like to play but don't play, and if they don't play they will pull them down".
Ikeda hopes that the more countries that ban Canaan, the better. In this way, Japan's game qualifications might increase, and wouldn't his own chances become greater?
Although I know I shouldn’t, thinking about it again, maybe this is the reason why the ‘10 million yen protest’ cannot be carried out, right?
The news on the Japanese Canaan website is still lagging behind, and the Chinese website is the most sensitive in terms of information and content. Ikeda spent a lot of time on the Chinese and Japanese official websites, and it was lunch time before he knew it.
"Patient, how can you be discharged from the hospital? You just finished the operation!?"
"I feel it's fine. Didn't the doctor say that the wound will recover after a period of rest?"
"But……"
"That's it, help me go through the discharge procedures, please!"
At Ikeda's insistence, I completed the discharge procedures in the afternoon and returned to the rental house where I had been away for two or three days.
"Ikeda, I thought you were missing!"
"I'm causing trouble for you"
"How's it going? Have you raised the 10 million yen?"
"Hey, I asked an elder to help me. Although it was not easy, I still managed to get it done before the deadline."
"That's it. What a blessing. Our family, Keiko, had a hard time getting it together... Now that your financial situation has improved, Ikeda, the rent will also go up. I hope you can understand."
"...please tell me the number."
"Just 20%, you should prepare for it, starting from next month."
Many times, Ikeda felt that it was a miracle that he could live to 19 years old. The world was so harsh to him. Except for a few friends with the same background and birth, he had no experience in this society or other people.
I got a little bit of warmth on my body.
Hidden under the politeness is depression, coldness, alienation and indifference. What is the purpose of living so hard?
I just received a phone call informing me that because of the two days of personal leave, I also lost my job...
All of a sudden, he lost his source of livelihood and had only the little savings left from selling his body parts.
The school turned a blind eye to his absenteeism these days... Haha!
Enduring the pain of the wound, he changed into clean clothes. The moment he turned on the computer, his gloomy face became brighter.
Only in the online world can I get some comfort.
In the past, he was addicted to the virtual world in the two-dimensional animation, worried about a certain virtual character, a certain virtual story, and was obsessed with those particularly famous voice actors. His biggest expenditure was collecting various figures of his favorite anime characters.
Now that all these things have been sold, all the enthusiasm and hope have been transferred to Canaan Games.
It can be said that becoming a player has become his life and the only source of motivation.
I eagerly absorbed all the information on the official website, took out a pen and paper to record it carefully, and painstakingly used automatic translation software to read the experiences and thoughts of Chinese players, not letting go of any official disturbance.
It seems that the riots in North America also had a great impact in China.
The Chinese forums are full of verbal and written criticism, followed by deletion of files.
Just yesterday, a dramatic official announcement put the entire country of China in a state of ice and fire. That is, this deletion does not involve a series of assets that can be redeemed in the game through meritorious deeds, such as territories, family residences, and shops...
…
As soon as the announcement came out, those companies and institutions that sold such assets at low prices regretted it. A large number of institutions and companies that went bankrupt due to file deletion grabbed this life-saving straw and tried to recover these assets, which resulted in all kinds of bullshit.
The matter of turning the stove upside down.
Those who broke the contract, those who filed lawsuits, those who sought sympathy on the Internet, those who held conspiracy theories, and others pointed the finger at Canaan Company, saying that they deliberately concealed this important information and teamed up with others to secretly buy these massive assets, suspected of fraud and so on.
From the perspective of an outsider, the biggest feeling after eating the melons is the huge power displayed by Canaan Company in a series of events such as file deletion and internationalization.
That is really changing the clouds and rain with one hand, deciding the life and death of so many multinational companies, large investment banks, and group companies with one word. What a huge amount of money and asset ownership, how dare you play like this?
You are not shy in the face of the only superpower. If you capture my people, I will disqualify you from the game and make you miserable because of the boiling public dissatisfaction in the country.
In the face of doubts about gods and religious beliefs, it is even more unwavering. If you ban it, you can ban it. Let us modify the game content to suit you. That is nothing to talk about. There is a big arrogance of "If you like to play, don't play, or don't play, get out."
Faced with accusations of data security, personal privacy, soft intrusion and other aspects, I would not hesitate to respond. I just want to say that Canaan Company is a Chinese company and should first abide by the laws of China. As a formal private enterprise, our company will
Strictly abide by relevant laws and regulations, such concerns are groundless.
Among them, one influential figure was frequently mentioned by media from various countries.
That is the CEO of Canaan Company, Yu Qingdong!
For him, the latest issue of Time magazine reused the cover of the previous issue, but modified it, turning the soup and vegetable leaves on his face into dripping blood and money!
The "protective umbrella" poured with blood and money seems to be well-deserved. Many people who read the cover felt sad, as if they were witnessing the birth of a super-invincible Tosla that transcended national organizations!
Wow, umbrella!
When Ikeda looked at the latest cover of Time magazine, he felt that the big man on the cover had sharp and scary eyes, like a god who could control and decide his own destiny.
Although he felt sad, he still didn't dare to do anything impolite to the photo, so he closed the page obediently and breathed a sigh of relief.
Players from China may think it is an exaggeration, but for Ikeda, it is not surprising that he even worships the illusory Guanyin.
The doctor told him to take a good rest. Ikeda turned off the computer early, lay on the bed, and endured the dull pain of the wound before falling asleep.
The next morning, the landlord Obasan's daughter Teruda Keiko came back.
"So, you also participated in the pre-sale and drawing of game qualifications, right?"
"Yes, Miss Keiko."
"It's true that anyone can get involved. Canaan Company is so cheap. Can even a beggar become a noble player?"
The fake smile on Ikeda's face could hardly be maintained. At this moment, a news item was broadcast on the TV, attracting everyone's attention.
"...the chairman of the board of directors and chief scientist of Canaan Company, the actual owner who is rumored to own 51% of the shares of Canaan Company, appeared at a manor in the western suburbs of Yanjing this morning. Canaan Company subsequently confirmed this rumor, claiming that the director
The chief scientist of CK Hutchison was withdrawn from the heavy scientific research affairs for the specific work of this test... Envoys from various countries have expressed their hope to meet with the actual master of the Canaan game to discuss a series of issues regarding the internationalization of Canaan.
Have an in-depth exchange and discussion..."
"This is the real big shot!"
The little girl Keiko Teruda looked at the half-length photo of the man on the TV screen and said with a look of infatuation.
