June 17th, one o 'clock in the morning.
Shi Lei opened the IWN Secret Web and looked at the computing resources. Although the entire IWN Secret Web was based on the large number of players in the Hero's World, the main group of players was the individual game server users. Dream Entertainment did not release any new individual game servers, so the computing resources of the IWN Secret Web did not increase by much. It was still between 1000 and 1200 tflops.
"Izur, prepare the IWN Secret Web resources."
Shi Lei planned to hack into Penguin Corporation's gaming platform personally to prevent any accidents from happening when Izur controlled Black Demon software.
Penguin Corporation's technical capabilities were quite good. If Izur's intrusion had failed, Shi Lei would not have minded.
If he had exposed any flaws and allowed Penguin Corporation to get hold of any key evidence, he would have gotten into a lawsuit.
"Sir, the IWN Secret Web's idle computing resources have been prepared."
Izur reminded Shi Lei. On the screen of server number one, it showed that the IWN Secret Web's idle computing resources had reached 1137 tflops.
Shi Lei did not mobilize all the computing resources. He only mobilized 100 tflops of computing resources and charged into Penguin Corporation's gaming platform.
In the wee hours of the morning, there were not many players online on Penguin Corporation's gaming platform. Shi Lei used the Penguin account that Izur had registered previously and logged into Penguin Corporation's gaming platform.
Shi Lei directly used this account to access Penguin Corporation's gaming platform's data channel and entered the gaming platform's server.
Inside the gaming platform, Shi Lei did not tamper with the data or delete the user's information. Instead, he browsed through the source code of Penguin Corporation's gaming platform and instructed Izur to copy it.
"Sir, the source code has been copied," Izur reminded him.
Shi Lei chuckled. "Izur, clean up all traces of the intrusion!"
It took less than three minutes for Shi Lei to hack into Penguin Corporation's gaming platform and for Izur to copy the source code. Penguin Corporation's gaming platform's server defenses were not weak. However, Shi Lei's technology was very powerful, and he had a large amount of computing resources. Moreover, Shi Lei did not steal Penguin Corporation's confidential technology or user information.
Therefore, Penguin Corporation's gaming platform was basically defenseless.
Shi Lei added Izur's copied source code into the Chess and Card rules system and embedded it into the Hero's World's main system.
"Izur, test the Chess and Card system and see if there are any loopholes..." Shi Lei instructed Izur.
The World of the Hero's Chess and Card system was not only used to attract middle-aged and elderly players. It also had another purpose, which was to use up the Hero's World's currency.
Penguin Corporation's gaming platform used a very shameless method of using game currency. Take a mahjong game as an example. After every round of mahjong, Penguin Corporation's gaming platform system would automatically deduct the fixed rent of the mahjong table from the player.
Moreover, this rent could be collected an unlimited number of times. As long as a game was played, it would be collected immediately after the game ended.
This kind of tyrannical behavior had been protested by many players in Penguin Corporation's gaming platform circle.
However, the big penguin company forcefully resisted the players' protests, and in the end, this disgusting way of collecting rent from the card tables was kept.
In the Hero's World, Shi Lei did not plan to use Penguin Corporation's disgusting method of collecting rent. Shi Lei planned to imitate the real world and set up Chess and Card rooms in specific locations in the Hero's World. The fee would also be based on the real world. It would be based on the hour or a fixed amount of money for a time period.
As for how to use up the players' currency?
If a player played cards with a non-player character and the non-player character won, the currency would naturally return to the Hero's World's main system.
Of course, Shi Lei did not plan to cheat. He truly relied on luck. A non-player character would not have any advantage over a player.
While Izur was testing the Chess and Card system, Shi Lei yawned and walked into the bathroom to wash up.
Shi Lei was not used to staying up late. He would always stay up late for various reasons.
A few minutes later, Shi Lei finished washing up. Izur reported, "Sir, after 164,197 tests, the Chess and Card system is operating normally. No loopholes have been found.
The system has automatically included the Chess and Card system into the loophole monitoring plan.
If a player uses the Chess and Card system to obtain abnormal benefits, the system will automatically detect and fix it. "
Shi Lei nodded and lay down on the soft bed. Before going to sleep, Shi Lei used hand signals to write a short message and sent it to Li Chai.
…
June 17th, ten o 'clock in the morning.
Shi Lei was sleeping soundly. The sun was shining brightly outside the window. The phone on the computer table showed a caller ID, but before the phone rang, Izur switched it to silent mode.
This was because the number that dialed Shi Lei's phone was not the number that Shi Lei had specially marked. According to Shi Lei's preset plan, Izur switched it to silent mode to prevent it from waking Shi Lei up.
Since Izur switched the phone to silent mode, the call to Shi Lei's phone was automatically hung up and then called again.
After repeating this three times, Izur activated the second plan. The so-called second plan was to call the same number three times in a row. Izur would automatically imitate a human's voice and ask the caller why they were looking for Shi Lei.
"Hello, Mr. Shi is not here at the moment. Who is this?" Izur imitated a middle-aged man's voice and answered the call from an unknown number.
"Hello, I'm Hu Ke from Shuangqing TV Station.
I have something important to discuss with Shi Lei. Please transfer my call to Shi Lei. "
Hu Ke was the ace host of Shuangqing TV Station. Due to some reasons, Hu Ke's phone number was not authenticated and was not registered.
That was why Izur could not find the owner of Hu Ke's phone number.
If the phone number was authenticated, Izur could directly obtain the owner's information from the carrier's database.
"Please wait a moment!"
Izur kept Shi Lei's phone on silent mode and called for Shi Lei through the sound system.
"Sir, sir …"
Shi Lei woke up in a daze and said unhappily, "Izur, what's the matter?"
"Sir, Hu Ke from Shuangqing TV Station is calling you. Do you want to answer?" Izur asked.
"Hu Ke?"
Shi Lei obviously knew Hu Ke. When Shi Lei and Ye Feng worked together to act, Hu Ke had met Shi Lei.
But why was Hu Ke calling him?
Dream Entertainment had not released any news yet, right?
Shi Lei could not guess why Hu Ke was calling him. He walked to the computer table and picked up his phone. After unmuting it, he asked, "What brings you here today, Host Hu?"
"What's wrong? Am I not welcome, Shi Lei?" Hu Ke's tone was coquettish, as if she was acting coquettishly with Shi Lei.
Shi Lei hurriedly smiled wryly and said, "Great Abbot Hu, we're all friends. If there's anything, just say it!
If I can help you, I won't say anything. What do you think? "
"That's more like it!" Hu Ke snorted and replied with a smile.
"Student Shi Lei, our Shuangqing TV Station would like to cooperate with your Dream Entertainment Company. I wonder if you can help us?"
"Cooperation?"
Shi Lei asked with a strange expression, "Great Host Hu, what cooperation does your Shuangqing TV Station have with our Dream Entertainment Company?
Is it advertising sponsorship?
I'm sorry, but Dream Entertainment doesn't like to advertise. "
"Yo, yo, yo!
I say, Shi Lei, can you not show off like that? "
Hu Ke teased. "Shuangqing TV Station wants the rights to broadcast the World of the Brave. In addition, we need you to provide us with some technology to transfer the images of the World of the Brave to the TV signal so that we can broadcast it live.
President Shi, this is good news, right?
Shuangqing TV Station is helping Dream Entertainment promote it for free! "
Shi Lei pursed his lips and said, "Host Hu, it's not a problem that Shuangqing TV Station is promoting it for free. It's Dream Entertainment that wants to collect a broadcast license fee, okay?"
"What?
You want a broadcast license fee?
Shi Lei, are we still friends? "Hu Ke asked in surprise.
Shi Lei replied affirmatively, "Of course we're friends!
However, Host Hu, you have to contact Dream Entertainment's Vice President Xie Hui for this matter.
Vice President Xie is in charge of the broadcast of the World of the Brave. "
"Oh?
Vice President Xie? "
Hu Ke thought for a moment. No one knew what she thought of, but she actually agreed to Shi Lei's request. "Okay, Shi Lei. I'll contact Vice President Xie then!"
Shi Lei wanted to say something, but Hu Ke had already hung up the phone.
"Strange, what is this Hu Ke planning to do?"
Shi Lei scratched his head. However, no matter what Hu Ke was planning, Shi Lei didn't care too much. After all, he was prepared to cooperate with Shuangqing TV Station. This was an opportunity to expand the influence of the World of the Brave. Moreover, it could also expand Dream Entertainment's influence in Shuangqing City. Shi Lei had no reason to refuse.
After cleaning up, Shi Lei sat on the sofa in the living room with a glass of milk heated in the microwave. He held the remote control in his left hand and switched channels aimlessly.
"Izur, send another message to Li Chai and ask him how his preparations are going." Shi Lei used a voice command.
Izur controlled the service base of the communication service provider. He could send messages or make calls directly to the internal server of the communication service provider at any time.
After Izur sent the message, Li Chai waited for about ten minutes before calling Shi Lei.
Shi Lei lay on the sofa and used the sound system in the room to answer the call.
Li Chai's voice sounded in the room. "Stone Head, I'm almost done with the matter you sent me last night!"
