Inventory of the heavens: start to shock from shining Tiga

Chapter 864 Offline Attack (68)

Out of his professionalism for getting paid, Alok did not hide the fact that he had heard Parsifal's real name. He even investigated Parsifal's true identity before communicating with Sorrento.

After learning that Parsifal was just an eighteen-year-old boy from the slums, Sorrento suddenly felt that I had the advantage.

While letting the violent agency supported by IOI go offline to find Wade Watts, he sent a message for a private meeting to Parsifal's account.

After being rejected by Artemis, Wade naturally wanted to enter the oasis again in the secret base, whether it was to use other methods to entertain himself, or to find a way to see Artemis again.

But after seeing the message from Sorrento, by some strange combination of circumstances, Parsifal chose to meet.

"Hello, Parsifal." Sorrento did not reveal that he knew his true identity at the beginning: "You are now appearing in the IOI headquarters in the form of a holographic projection. This is my office."

Patting the motion-sensing chair next to him, Sorrento said: "This is our latest product. If you consider cooperating, you can also get one after joining IOI."

"This thing..." Parsifal looked at the motion-sensing chair and said, "It looks like a hamster running on a ball."

Ignoring Parsifal's secret sarcasm, Sorrento tried to bribe Parsifal directly with benefits. Just the various props and spaceships promised to him in the oasis were tempting enough. Sorrento even promised to Give him an annual salary of 4 million, and an additional bonus of 25 million for finding the easter egg.

After all, even though his company is huge, he can't really cover the sky with one hand. If he can't use offline methods to decide the outcome, try not to use them.

But he didn't notice that as he left his body-sensing chair, Parsifal found the sticky note with the password written on it!

["Think back then...I was also faced with a choice that seemed very difficult to choose." Wang Duoyu said: "Back then, I had two choices in front of me. One was to get a huge sum of money, and I could spend it without spending any money. In a high place, you can live a life without worrying about food and clothing. If you don't squander, you can live a good life!"

After a pause, Wang Duoyu hugged Xia Zhu and said, "The other option is to spend one billion in one month. If you do that, you can inherit 30 billion!"

Xia Zhu rolled her eyes: "I know, how many times have you told me this...every time you give birth to a child, you have to tell this story again, and now the boss is tired of hearing it!"

"Are you tired?" Wang Duoyu said with a smile: "It means this boy is beaten less! He doesn't think that our rich family won't beat children, right?"

Rolling his eyes again, Xia Zhu said, "By the way, this is your fourth child. You don't really want to have a football team, do you?"

"Of course!" Wang Duoyu glared: "What are the conditions of our family? It's not like we can't afford it! We can even afford it for a real football team, not to mention we only have so many children! We must do what we say!" After all, I’m not the crooked-looking Sorrento!”

Xia Zhu covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Slanted eyebrows and crooked eyes? Although he can't be said to be earth-shatteringly handsome, he doesn't have a slanted eyebrows and crooked eyes, right?"

"Anyway, he is definitely not a good person!" Wang Duoyu said: "He is as bad as Leehom Wang! He keeps saying one thing! He said that he was given such a high salary, and he still has 25 million after getting the easter egg. A US dollar bonus, but what’s the reality? Bah! This is even worse than the second master’s… grandma’s deception!”

After a pause, Wang Duoyu took out his mobile phone, opened the calculator and calculated: "With an annual salary of four million US dollars, plus the twenty-five million US dollars from finding the Easter egg, he can still live for... seventy years. The total amount is 305 million U.S. dollars. But when the will was issued, how much was Halliday’s shares worth? 500 billion! In this calculation, it’s more than 1,600 US dollars! And I What about at the beginning? What was the ratio between 10 million and 30 billion?"

After fiddling with the calculator, Wang Duoyu quickly came up with the answer: "Uh... one in three thousand... It seems not as extreme as my second master... Ahem, but you can't just look at this part, you have to I know that Oasis must have become more popular because of this easter egg, and this company is a company with shares. Now the 500 billion is probably not just 500 billion, not to mention that this money can still make money! In short, this Sauron Tuo just wants to pluck out a hair and hit Wade with it, and it’s probably one of Wade’s own hairs!”

"But in fact, for ordinary people, such conditions are already very generous, isn't it?" Xia Zhu said: "Even considering their special situation, there may be serious inflation, but more than 300 million US dollars... no matter what , much better than the Japanese yen, right? What's more, this is America's movie, and the purchasing power of 80% of the US dollar is still very strong in the setting... In short, for ordinary people, although such behavior is essentially a monkey trick, but Most people can’t be sure that they can get the easter egg, right?”

Nodding, Wang Duoyu said: "That's true. Not everyone is like your husband and me. Although we come from a humble background, we don't regard it as a shame. Instead, we have unlimited motivation! This Sorrento Eight Cheng Cheng felt that Wade was a poor boy who was easy to impress. He only needed a little trick to shake his confidence! But he miscalculated. Even if he owned a big company, he would definitely not be able to match the halo of the protagonist in this kind of thing. !”

After thinking about it, Wang Duoyu added: "Actually, if Wade is older and has really suffered the hardships of society, then he may be able to persuade him, but Wade is only an eighteen-year-old boy now. , it’s the time to be full of energy and motivation! In short, it’s time... destiny!”]

Faced with such a huge temptation, Wade in reality quietly pressed a switch to keep his virtual projection with a fixed expression, while he was breathing heavily in the secret base.

But such poor skills were nothing to a man like Sorrento. It was immediately obvious that Parsifal had used emotional suppression software to try to cover up his impulses.

After adjusting his mood, Parsifal went online again and said to Sorrento: "Your conditions are indeed very attractive, and I really need this money, but..."

He did not have the style of painting from a certain JOJO world. Parsifal walked to the window of the office hall, looked at Lao Liu below who were traveling in the oasis through IOI equipment, and said: "But... I refuse!"

"Why? Because you and I have different ideas about the oasis?" Sorrento spread his hands: "Believe me, Parsifal, I am not the bastard capitalist you think I am, but I am also a businessman and I have to do something of my own. It’s just something that people have misunderstood!”

Parsifal didn't take Sorrento's word for granted, but tested him with some pop culture memes. To Parsifal’s expectation, Sorrento was able to answer his questions fluently and accurately tell the trap in his words...

However, as Parsifal asked "What would Halliday think" and Sorrento replied "Halliday is dead", he understood that the big boss in front of him was not a lover of pop culture at all. He is just a capitalist who is making crazy money. The reason why he can answer those questions and deal with his own traps is just to use his money power to form a powerful advisory group to give him advice on the other side of the headset.

Because, if Sorrento really liked pop culture and Oasis as he said, he would definitely not have said something like "Halliday is dead."

There is no other reason, except that Halliday only died in this mortal body. In fact, he will always live in the hearts of these game-loving players!

"How about this," Parsifal looked at Sorrento who took off his headphones playfully, and said with a smile: "There is a board of directors listening behind you, right? I have a condition here, that is, let them fire you. , maybe I will consider the conditions just now."

Sorrento looked at the holographic projection in front of him coldly: "The headphones are gone... Now I can finally say something I want to say. To be honest, it was not my intention to make these conditions, it was those people who asked me to say them. , I personally would prefer that you refuse these conditions. Because if anyone can win this game, it will be me. My character will get the Easter egg, because I am the only one with the guts to run this company."

"Haha, does this reveal his true colors?" Parsifal laughed: "From being reasonable to being a tyrant?"

Looking at Parsifal with a trace of pity, Sorrento said: "Actually, you should be grateful, Wade. After all, you who hate tyrants will not survive the day of my rule... Yes, I know you Who is it, Wade Owen Watts, born on August 2027, 8? I even know where you live. I know that the last time you were seen coming home was three days ago, and you have not been out since then. "

Strong uneasiness enveloped Wade's heart: "What do you want to do? You can't..."

"So many things happen in the world every day!" Sorrento interrupted Wade: "Do you really think that anyone would care about an explosion in a garbage rat nest in a slum area?"

Wade was completely panicked now: "Don't! Don't do this! I'm not there at all!"

"Yes, yes, you are not at home, I believe it." Sorrento ignored Wade and replied perfunctorily.

Wade had no time to say anything more, so he immediately logged off and ran towards home, and dialed his aunt's number.

But it was too late. IOI's drone had already installed a bomb on the elevated roof of her aunt's house. Her aunt's Bluetooth headset had just been taken away by her stupid boyfriend, regardless of Wade's frantic reminder to run.

So, after leaving the sentence "I don't want to hear the sound anymore", I really couldn't hear it anymore.

The stacked RVs, which were originally of worrying quality, began to collapse immediately after several bombs exploded. Many people fell into coma or even died in the shock wave of the bombs. What's more, many people were directly injured because the RVs fell from heights. Shocked to death.

Looking at the group of RVs where the fire started to spread, Wade walked towards his secret base in despair, and contacted Aiqi, Dadong, Xiu and Artemis.

["Fake!" Wade yelled directly: "This bastard is really not worthy of trust!"

Looking at each other with Artemis, Aiqi said: "It seems that not only during the inventory, you and IOI are now completely at odds. After all, this kind of thing really breaks the bottom line. There is no possibility of forgiveness, and it’s a good thing that you are not at home, otherwise you will die.”

Artemis shook her head: "No, no, no, we can't beat you to death with a stick... After all, blowing up your home was Sorrento's personal act, and he didn't even notify the board of directors! Find someone to attack your home! The board of directors He didn’t know it, and this can be seen from the fact that Sorrento said those words after taking off his headphones!”

"You mean we want to unite with the board of directors of IOI?" Wade asked.

Nodding, then shaking her head, Artemis said: "It is indeed the joint board of directors, but not the current board of directors!"

Looking around, Artemis said: "We all know that IOI is the second largest company in the world that cannot be ignored. It has a very strong manufacturing capability of somatosensory suits, and also has a very large Sixth Legion and think tank. Consider it. When the livelihood of countless people depends on them, we cannot rashly defeat IOI, but should change it! For example, the current IOI board of directors, although they are not completely aligned with Sorrento, have introduced from Sorrento that they plan to make 80% of Oasis employees No one mentioned it during the advertisement, which is enough to show that if the benefits are enough, they don’t care about the feelings and thoughts of us assholes!”

After a pause, Artemis said: "So, my idea is... put someone who really loves the game! And there will be a battle for easter eggs. We can definitely use Parsifal as the male protagonist. Use our strength to gather a group of people who will follow us to fight against the giant IOI! In this fight, in addition to solving our innermost problems, we can also test these temporarily gathered teams! See who is suitable to become the new board member of IOI! "

"I think that Alok is good." Parsifal said: "Although this guy is cunning, greedy for money, and severely cheated me on the original timeline, I think he is a completely usable talent! After all, not everyone can have a strong intelligence network like him, and sometimes they can even obtain information faster than IOI can simply spend money! And... doesn't he love money? Just games and hiring tasks. How much money can it compare to IOI’s shareholder dividends?”

Edge also agreed: "The most important thing is that this guy is different from the fake Sorrento. He really understands popular culture. He may not worship Halliday as a god, but he must love it." The game itself! Next, we can have a chat with him and let him realize that the oasis has no future if it falls into the hands of IOI. He should understand it with emotion and act with reason!"

"Then what if he persists?" Dadong asked.

Xiu on the side said: "What else can we do? Of course we should use emotion to understand and reason to move..."

Taking out a giant ax and a big gun from his backpack, Xiu said: "I'm a ninja, so these two weapons are useless. I'll give them to you... I named these two things, one is called feelings, One is called truth!"]
