This isn't the Fourth Calamity

Chapter 28 The Tide
"15, 15 annual salary, you don't have to do anything, just play this game, how about it?"

"1!?"

An old dormitory building, a cramped, shabby, and poor home, a son who doesn't live up to expectations, gnaws on the old, and has social phobia, and a pair of elderly parents whose backs have been bent by the burden of life.

Wanda Games executives in suits and leather shoes threw out an offer that the family could not refuse. The parents' eyes widened in disbelief, as if they were in a dream.

"I, I won't do it, the capitalists don't have a good thing!"

My son with social phobia usually blushes when he speaks to strangers. He never knows how to say no to others, but this time he turned him down immediately.

"slight!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

His parents were even more terrified when they heard this, they stopped their son, and looked nervously at the man in the suit.

"15, the terms can still be negotiated." The man in the suit was sure that the family would not refuse. He looked at this shabby family, and felt envious in his heart.

Damn, why can't I have this kind of shit luck?

"I, let's discuss it, baby's father!?"

"Yes, yes, discuss it, discuss it!"

"Anyway, if you want to move the helmet, you can't do it, there is no need to discuss it!"

"You dead boy, didn't they promise not to damage your things?"

"Capitalists can't believe it!"

"you……"

"Okay then, let's discuss it, this is the contract, and this is my business card."

"Ah, you... you are leaving now, sit again, sit again...baby dad, or... don't you need to discuss it?"

"Yes, yes, what to discuss, no need to discuss, we agreed, we signed!"

"Anyway, I don't sign, Dad, Mom, I will earn money, much more than, much more than 15."

The man in the suit sneered silently, and it was even more glaring in the eyes of his socially phobic son. Anyway, he gritted his teeth and refused to agree. His parents tried to persuade him at first, but when the man in the suit became more and more impatient His face darkened and he became impatient.

Beating, scolding, and quarreling are the normal state of this family. The 15 yuan is like a beam of light shot down from heaven, such a dream, such a warmth.

"You are disorganized and undisciplined. What qualifications do you have to speak on behalf of the Chinese Academy of Sciences?"

In another room, Liao Chunming, who single-handedly ignited the current heat, is also facing a choice.

"I reacted. My report was submitted immediately. Who 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 point of view public. I have such a right."

Liao Chunming felt aggrieved in the face of the inspection team, "Such a major technological breakthrough is not taken seriously at all. You have to wait for the formation of social effects before you know what is wrong with me. I am right."

"Do you think we don't know what you're doing? Do you have shares in 'Mars Technology'? You released unconfirmed information in the name of the Chinese Academy of Sciences without authorization. The purpose is really that simple!?"

Liao Chunming's heart tightened when he heard this. This was his most feared weakness, and he really couldn't hide it.

He didn't expect that there would be such a big trouble. He admitted that his purpose was not pure, and he had a little idea of ​​taking advantage of the opportunity to benefit the company he participated in, but he didn't spread rumors. Facts have proved that what he said is true Yes, this has been rigorously, carefully, and scientifically verified repeatedly.

That is a virtual reality game, it just appeared so abruptly and almost as a child's play, no one knows where it popped out, but it just exists and exists.

If you don't find the person behind the game now, what are you doing pestering me?
"If it is found out that you are consciously manipulating the stock price and seeking improper economic benefits, then it is such a simple inquiry now... Go down and think about it!"

Liao Chunming went back to the office with a heavy heart, turned on the computer, and the interview he broke the news of naturally disappeared. The enthusiasm for it still persists, but there are already bad signs appearing on the Internet.

"The market supervision department and the China Banking Regulatory Commission announced an internal investigation on concept stocks related to Metaverse, and reminded the majority of investors that there is risky investment in the market and they need to be cautious."

"Aliyun temporarily shelved a major investment and acquisition plan, and the stock price of the unicorn "Maoyun International" plummeted."

"The telecommunications department stated that the necessary base conditions are not yet met, 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 metaverse concept that is widely spread in China is pure hype, but it refuses to comment on Canaan Online "The authenticity comment."

"I want to cover it up, I'm making mud together!" Liao Chunming turned off his computer, and then opened his usual stock software, which was still bright red.

What if it's fake, what if it's a prank, what if it's an oolong... No, it can't be fake.

I was right and I have a clear conscience.

At the same time, a total of 17 tightly guarded boxes were sent to a hidden testing base.

A box was opened in a sterile, dust-free, magnetic field-free and static-free room, and two men in protective suits carefully took out a helmet and put it into an MRI-like instrument.

Two hours later, the helmet was disassembled and had to be laser cut because there were no traces of bonding.

"...it was originally supposed to be a motorcycle helmet, a common style on the market. It has been processed by a process that we don't understand, and it has been fused with some composite material that we can't detect and analyze to form a kind of helmet. Material that we don't yet understand."

"...The surface of its mask is coated with an incredible coating, which has a certain degree of radioactivity, and it has its own energy spectrum...It seems to be breathing!"

"...we can't restore it, and we can't analyze and understand how it works. It's a completely different technology, completely different from any known technology and technology on earth."

"...we're leaning toward, aliens made it...yeah, there's no other explanation than that."

Destroyed a helmet and got some vague conclusions, naturally no one will be satisfied.

Then, four strictly screened soldiers, artists, experts in human psychology and cognition, and athletes put on helmets under heavy surveillance and testing.

Suffocate!

Half a minute later, the soldier took off his helmet first, with a confused expression on his face.

Everyone who watched him through the monitors sank in their hearts.

Is it an oolong?

"Uh... There is a line in the helmet that says 'The server is under maintenance, please wait a moment'."

"Yes, yes, it is maintenance and update." A bald scientist said with relief.

Everyone just felt weird. Who would have thought that people like them would have a day when they would worry about the maintenance and update of a game?
