Build a gaming empire from scratch

Chapter 729 Christmas Presents
Looking at the small card in his hand, especially the signature, Alex was shocked.

Although he has been participating in the protests and calling on the government to release the unreasonable restrictions on Yunmeng, he has no real connection with Yunmeng.

The last time he had direct contact with Yunmeng was after he was arrested, and Yunmeng International fished him out together with 17 other people.

After that, Alex didn't want his mother to worry, he acted a lot more cautiously, and never got into the situation again.

Naturally, there was no connection with Yunmeng anymore.

——In fact, he also knew that even if he was arrested again, he didn't need Yunmeng's help.

Now they are organizing activities, launching protests, all with the help of the [Foundation for Freedom of Life and Democratic Activities].

Of course, regarding this foundation, many people also privately speculate that it may be related to Yunmeng, and may even be established by Yunmeng.

But they are all limited to private speculation, because no one can produce evidence.

Of course, Lin You would not directly register the foundation in the name of Yunmeng.

Moreover, there are four floors between Lin You and the foundation, and two floors are built in a small country where the identity of the shareholders can not be disclosed.

I don't know if it can be hidden from the American government, but ordinary people certainly don't want to find out.

But the absence of evidence does not prevent netizens from thinking this way. After all, there are some things that do not need evidence.

*
It is not uncommon for individuals or organizations to support people like Alex in their protests.

Throughout America, many celebrities, entrepreneurs, and rich people have published more or less "it is not wise to completely reject Yunmeng", "the policy needs to be discussed", "not optimistic", "exacerbate social unrest" ", "lost votes" and the like.

Not only solidarity, but also substantial support.

It can even be said that apart from politicians and stakeholders, there are only two voices left:

One is to hope to enter the virtual world and think that the government's approach is somewhat inappropriate.

The other is not to speak out at ordinary times, and when asked by reporters, or when faced with a situation where I have to express my opinion, I say that I am neutral and have not paid attention to this issue.

So when Alex and the others organized protests and called for the release of virtual world restrictions, they would not feel alone.

But despite this, there is no organization like [Foundation for Freedom and Democratic Activities] that hardly misses a single protest, and does not abandon a single arrested protester.

Because protests are not always legal and orderly, and even at first, once young people get emotional, things sometimes get out of control.

Not to mention that there are still many people who use the banner of "protest", but only for chaos and looting.

Once something with a relatively bad social impact occurs, public figures and various organizations will all avoid it.

Only the foundation doesn't care at all, as long as someone who really speaks out for the virtual world is arrested, they will definitely send legal aid and try their best to get them out.

They even set a record of providing material and legal support to 26 protest marches in [-] states within a month.

This approach has led to countless people thinking that even if there is no substantive evidence, the foundation is absolutely related to Yunmeng.

"So... Is this not pretending?" Alex subconsciously thought.

But soon, he realized: this is still not conclusive evidence.

Celebrities can still give gifts to fans. It is also very reasonable for Lin You to contact the foundation to help give them gifts.

Not to mention the blessings on the cards are all printed...

If this thing is posted on the Internet, people may suspect that it is a forgery...

"And... aren't mirages contraband? They can be mailed??"

This touched Alex's blind spot of knowledge a bit. He took out his mobile phone and asked in the group that often organizes protests:
"Can Mirage be mailed domestically?"

Many people have asked this question:

"Can't you? Isn't this thing forbidden?"

"Yes! I tried."

"I'm also surprised, I just received a host when I woke up."

"@Alex, I can't go to the Christmas parade, I have a temporary business."

"You have a fart, you want to secretly play games at home?"

"Is it wrong for me to want to get a belt for the armor case? Our internet speed is too difficult to deal with. When I turn on [Assassin's Bloodline], I feel dizzy and want to vomit. This thing has a time limit, and I can't help it!"

"Indeed, this is so unfair to us! I want to protest!"

"Unless you protest at the gate of Yunmeng Company, it's probably useless."

"Can you ask Yunmeng to make this gameplay permanent? Even if the gameplay cannot be permanent, the reward is fine!"

"Indeed, if such a practical thing is out of print, the players behind will have to vomit blood, which is unreasonable!"

……

When asking a question in an online community, something like this often happens: after a few sentences, the topic is off the eighteenth street.

Fortunately, there is a person in the logistics industry in the group who clearly gave Alex the answer:
"It was not allowed before, especially when the ban was just announced, but now it doesn't matter, just send it casually."

"The customs is still very stuck, and none of them are allowed in, but there are basically no restrictions on domestic cross-continental logistics."

After finishing speaking, he also complained: "You can buy guns online, and you can buy game consoles anywhere."

Alex was speechless.

Indeed, in this calculation, the game console is simply too safe.

Although the government, the media, and some conspiracy theorists have been advocating the use of mirage hosts, it will lead to leakage of user privacy.

But the thinking of Alex and many players is:
"Not to mention whether it's true or nonsense, even if it's true, it's none of your business to give to whoever I like about your privacy!"

Without saying a word, Alex knocked on his brother's door with his mirage in his arms.

My brother has wanted a mirage host for a long time. Seeing this Christmas gift, he will definitely die of joy.

*
Not just Alex, but the earliest "18 Warriors" who were released on bail will all receive this Christmas gift.

It's not just these players, all outstanding employees of the [Freedom of Life and Democratic Activities Foundation] will also receive this gift.

It's not because Lin You is stingy, but because it's really hard to give away.

After all, the customs on Amelie Kaming's face are still very strict, Yunmeng can't smuggle the mainframe in, and it's impossible to do so.

The mainframes that were sent out were all bought by Lin You directly, and the employees of the foundation went to border cities in Texas to buy them.

Now in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, in cities near the border, it is not difficult to find the right door to buy Mirage.

It's just that the price will be many times more expensive.

Of course, in theory, America also prohibits the sale of consoles.

Therefore, in the mouths of both parties to the transaction, this is "send".

We get along better, so we will make friends and give you a game console as a testimony of our friendship.

With Christmas just around the corner, it's naturally an excellent time to give gifts.

Not only Epic's younger brothers are crazy about giving gifts, but anyone who can find upstream sources is taking advantage of this opportunity to "give gifts" like crazy.

A steady stream of mirage hosts entered North America from Mexico through underground channels, and entered the bedrooms of thousands of households through North American gray transactions.

The number of registered players in North America is finally no longer the three or two kittens in the past, but has begun to grow explosively!
