.
Although it was already past midnight, the mysterious game discussion board of Wanderer Star Sky was still buzzing with activity.
After all, most of the gamers who loved games would not go to bed early.
When Shi Lei posted the post, a large number of gamers were attracted. Since the poster was close to 80MB, it would take some time to download. Therefore, most of the first replies were questioning the authenticity of the poster.
'Could the OP be tricking me into replying to earn points?'
"Poster, if you are lying, we forgive you.
If it is true, the poster should quickly turn himself in at the nearest police station. Otherwise, they will come to check your water meter! "
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
"I am worried for the poster. How dare you expose an investor who invested tens of millions of USD.
You risked your life to upload it. Rest in peace, poster! "
There were hundreds of replies in a very short time. Most of the gamers were waiting for the download to complete so that they could see the actual effect.
Sun Zixiang, a senior reporter from Xia Xia Computer News, was a veteran gamer, a high-class otaku, and a single man. Other than work, his only hobby was to play games.
As a media worker, Sun Zixiang did not believe in the mysterious game that had caused a stir in Taiwan. After all, some companies would use all kinds of methods to achieve publicity. Malicious publicity was one of them!
Sun Zixiang did not believe in the mysterious game. Therefore, he collected all kinds of information in Wanderer Star Sky and prepared to write a draft the next day to criticize the mysterious game.
"Ten million USD, eighty million Xia yuan to develop the world's top game. This is a joke!
In Xia Xia's environment, investing in the game industry with such high investment is equivalent to bankruptcy! "
When Sun Zixiang saw Shi Lei's post, he sneered. "Hmph!
Another guy who was trying to please the crowd with claptrap!
If there is such a huge investor, how could there be a leak in the publicity materials? "
After entering the post, Sun Zixiang could not help but download the 80MB attachment and browse through the various replies.
The first hundred or so replies were basically useless.
However, after the first hundred or so, the replies were full of praise, admiration, and anticipation.
"F * ck!
Is this a game?
Can anyone tell me if that wolf really exists or if it's just a figment of the computer's imagination? 'On the 137th floor, a player voiced his confusion.
"What the hell!
Was the natural cyan sword aura on the long sword real or not?
Why do I feel like that thing looks real?
Could it be that there are really martial arts masters in our lives? '
The 138th comment was also a confused reply, but it was obvious that they were satisfied with the poster.
'I think the OP is a liar!
Could it be that this is a promotional poster for a certain blockbuster, and then the poster added a watermark to deceive everyone's feelings? '
On the 157th comment, a skeptical person replied. The meaning expressed was that he still couldn't believe the poster and had a strong sense of hope.
"Ding!"
A notification came from the computer speaker, indicating that the download was complete.
Sun Zixiang couldn't wait to open the attachment. He found that with his 22-inch screen, according to the 1: 1 display, he could only show a corner. Sun Zixiang quickly turned on the projector.
As a veteran gaming nerd, Sun Zixiang's gaming equipment was very advanced. This projector with excellent display effects had cost him a total of 20,000 yuan!
From the high-definition image displayed by the projector, Sun Zixiang looked at the lifelike giant wolf, and a sudden sense of fear rose in his heart.
However, when he saw the man in the black armor, he was suddenly filled with a sense of heroism, as if he wanted to fight the giant wolf!
Looking carefully at the realistic image, Sun Zixiang mumbled to himself, "Could this be real?
Could it be that the OP really bribed the mysterious game's investor to obtain this unannounced poster? "
There were many people like Sun Zixiang in the whole of Xia Xia. They were all shocked by the poster.
There were also many players who reposted the poster everywhere, looking for all kinds of Photoshop experts to determine the authenticity of the image and whether there were any traces of it being edited.
The night of the 27th was destined to be an eventful one!
The gamers of Xia Xia were making a ruckus in all the major gaming forums. Even some hacker forums were discussing the authenticity of the poster.
In Taiwan, Shi Lei washed up and fell into a deep sleep on his bed.
The next morning, Li Zifeng knocked on Shi Lei's door and woke him up. He said apologetically, "Boss, we don't have any first-class tickets from Taiwan to Shuangqing right now. Should we take business class?"
Shi Lei shook his head. Since there were no tickets available, they would fly directly to Jincheng!
Shi Lei's three targets were all in Jincheng. Shi Lei was prepared to visit those three companies.
"Zifeng, go and book a direct flight from Taiwan to Jincheng. If there are any first-class tickets, book first class. If there aren't any, book business class. The sooner the better. We'll leave Taiwan!" Shi Lei instructed.
After settling all the affairs in Taiwan, Shi Lei originally wanted to travel. After all, Yu Liquan had repeatedly invited him to be a tour guide and bring Shi Lei around.
However, because of the time bomb, He Wanqiu, Shi Lei didn't want to stay in Taiwan. If he accidentally bumped into He Wanqiu, it would be disastrous.
Although the probability of this happening was very low, Shi Lei believed in Murphy's Law.
If there was a possibility of things going wrong, then no matter how low the possibility was, it would happen eventually!
This time, Li Zifeng successfully booked a direct flight to Jincheng. The departure time was about two hours later.
Shi Lei immediately brought Li Zifeng and the others to Taoyuan International Airport.
Two hours later, the five of them were on a direct flight to Jincheng. Shi Lei finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Sitting in his seat, Shi Lei adjusted his seat and slowly closed his eyes to take a nap.
"Little Ink, I'm coming to Jincheng. Where are you?
Although you've only left me for a week, I really miss you! "Shi Lei, who was taking a nap, missed Lingyumo.
Shi Lei had found out that Lingyumo was in Jincheng from the passenger list at Beiyu International Airport. Shi Lei had also set up a trigger in the internal management system of the two major airports in Jincheng.
Once Lingyumo's name appeared in the passenger list, the trigger would automatically record the corresponding information and send a message to Shi Lei.
Shi Lei hadn't received any news that Lingyumo had left Jincheng yet. Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that Lingyumo had left Jincheng from the train station or by car.
After all, in 2006, train tickets hadn't been bought with real names.
If Lingyumo had left Jincheng by train or car, then it would be even more difficult for Shi Lei to find Lingyumo.
"Why didn't Little Ink contact me?
Could it be that she had some sort of agreement with Lingyu? "
Or is it a betting agreement? 'In Shi Lei's mind, he pondered over Ling Yumo's abnormal actions.
According to his analysis of the relationship between Lingyumo and himself, Lingyumo couldn't have disappeared without a trace. There must have been some sort of external force that made Lingyumo ignore Shi Lei.
This external force could be some sort of agreement, a test, or a wait. No matter what it was, Shi Lei had to find Lingyumo.
Shi Lei's guess was right. Lingyumo and her father, Lingyu, had made an agreement.
Ling Yumo promised Ling Yuguo that he would not take the initiative to contact Shi Lei, and would not give Shi Lei any chance to contact him.
Lingyu had promised Lingyumo that if Lingyumo didn't contact Shi Lei, and Shi Lei could still find Lingyumo, then Lingyu would …
The plane landed at the Capital International Airport. Shi Lei didn't inform Zhong Muyuan of the Patriots.
The relationship between the Patriots and Shi Lei seemed to be inseparable, but in fact, they weren't on the same side.
Although they called each other brothers, when it came to a critical moment, if conditions permitted, the Patriots wouldn't help.
Shi Lei would do the same. His relationship with the Patriot Company was merely one of mutual benefit. In other words, it was a business partnership.
It was one o 'clock in the afternoon when they arrived in Jincheng. Shi Lei and the tenth team of the Judgement Security Company went to the most famous Quanjude Roast Duck in Jincheng to try the famous roast duck.
He had to admit that Quanjude Roast Duck was indeed delicious to be famous both in China and abroad.
After lunch, Shi Lei took out his phone and was about to contact the person in charge of Pixel Software. Pixel Software was established in 2003 and was born out of Target Software. Two senior executives of Target Software left Target Software and became a brand new Pixel Software.
After three years of development, Pixel Software's capability had improved rapidly.
Pixel Software's representative works included The Record of Sword and Blade Demon and Journey to Fairyland.
Although Pixel Software was good, it was actually the weakest among Shi Lei's three targets.
Whether it was Jinshan's Xishan Residence or Pixel Software's previous owner, Target Software, they were much more capable than Pixel Software.
Especially Target Software, which had a large development team, a strong background, and powerful technology.
In the future, in the high-end gaming industry, Overmax Engine, which was developed by Target Software, was the first game engine that Xia Xia owned completely independent intellectual property rights. It was also the first game engine that Xia Xia had achieved commercial success.
Therefore, Target Software was the main purpose of Shi Lei's trip to Jincheng.
If there was a slight possibility, Shi Lei even wanted to buy Target Software.
However, with Shi Lei's current capital, he wasn't qualified to buy Target Software's company.
But if he took a step back and cooperated with Target Software, there was still a lot of room for negotiation.
Unfortunately, Shi Lei didn't know …
