Chapter 599 Did You Go Out Without Brain?
Chapter 599 "Did you go out without thinking today?"
The launch of "Terriaria" is not only the excitement of Daxia as a country.
All overseas players who can successfully connect to the Yunmeng server are participating in this event.
Among them, there is a special country that even made it onto the country's hot trend list just for playing "Terriaria".
Moreover, it is together with the keyword "general strike".
Yes, this country is Germany.
Today is the day that Karl called for a "national general strike" online.
Just because of the 7-hour time difference, when the general strike started, it was already 4 pm here in Daxia, and "Terarraria" had been online for two hours.
Of course, the players in Daxia are not in the mood to continue to go overseas to spread the flames and instigate magic wars.
——Although there is no magic war of this level in Daxia, the skill of "hatching" is a traditional skill that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Nowadays, it is just a combination of the characteristics of the new era and a new twist on the old work.
Therefore, although the netizens of Daxia have not experienced such outrageous magic battles in reality, when it comes to playing, they are not much inferior to the overseas netizens who have experienced battles in the field.
Of course, it may also be because Daxia netizens are too far away, watching the fire from afar, and are not afraid of being affected by reality...
In short, after the afternoon, not only in the player circle, but also in the Internet, the hot spots in Daxia revolved around "Terraria". News of the overseas general strike instantly fell out of favor.
The spirit of internationalism has been completely forgotten.
Anyway, no one wants to stop everyone from playing the new game.
But the general strike is still going on normally.
However, although Carl and the others lacked the public support from Daxia netizens - if Gonghuo really counts as support, they did receive subtle support from Yunmeng's "mastermind".
Under Lin You's instruction, the negotiations between Kribri Game Company and Yunmeng reached a deadlock.
René Brie found that Yunmeng was completely incompetent, and other local game companies in the country also began to try to open up government links to take his place.
In panic, he decisively gave up the data sharing request in order to reach cooperation with Yunmeng as soon as possible.
But it's a pity...
late.
This time Yunmeng didn't agree.
Of course, there was no direct rejection.
As an important figure in Yunmeng and a real high-level executive, Zhong Chang took time out of his busy schedule to take René Brie to taste Chinese food in the metropolis, eating five major cuisines in two days.
We also took him to visit and inspect the [Virtual Xia Jing] under construction.
The exterior scenes of [Virtual Xia Jing] have been completed a long time ago, and it is enough to see the scenery.
However, if you want to refine the interiors of a large number of buildings in a modern city, the time and energy required are almost unlimited.
So Lin You thought: Anyway, you can't finish it in a while, so why not send some people to do other things.
He is planning to take away one-third of the skilled workers to build a new city: Luoyang.
But it’s not Luoyang now, but——
【Shendu】Luoyang!
After watching the virtual Xia Jing, Zhong Chang finally fulfilled his "landlord friendship" and gave Rene a relatively certain news:
"Next Monday, let's discuss the details."
Yunmeng's operation directly destroyed the German government's plan to cancel the general strike by saying "it has reached cooperation with Yunmeng".
This is still one of them. At most, it can only ensure that those who originally planned to participate in the strike will not give up.
As for the second, more important point, it was purely a coincidence - that was the launch time of "Terriaria".
When "Terraria" was launched, it happened to be 7 o'clock in the morning in Germany.
German players, who have just been exposed to virtual reality games for a short period of time, are waiting for the game to be launched at the right time.
Among them, a large number of players did not originally intend to participate in the strike.
Even though they shout fiercely online, it is well known that people who are aggressive online do not mean they are aggressive in real life - many people even behave completely opposite online and in reality.
The plan for these people is to get up early, play a new game for an hour, and then log off and go to work.
The problem is: many people forget the time while playing...
Because "Terraria" maintains the design style of an open world with weak guidance, this gives players enough freedom and inevitably slows down the player's development process.
Players can only study many details of the game through the systematic introduction of various items and what NPCs, especially the guide, say.
The problem is that there are so many items in Terraria, and treasures and garbage are mixed together, making it extremely difficult to distinguish them when you first get started.
Green-quality junk weapons are mixed with white-quality synthetic materials for key props. No one knows which ones are useful and which ones are useless.
Three white materials, [Poison Stinger], [Vine] and [Jungle Spore], can be combined to synthesize an orange-quality weapon [Grass Sword]. Who would have thought of this outrageous synthesis formula in advance unless they saw it directly?
There are countless things like this in the game...
So I can only save as much as possible regardless of good or bad.
The inevitable result was that a lot of time was spent organizing the warehouse and studying synthesis tables.
Then every time they synthesize new useful props, they will feel a full sense of accomplishment.
Coupled with the massive explorable areas, hidden treasure chests, traveling merchants coming and going, and new NPCs constantly arriving...
There are so many playable contents in the game that they can’t handle them all!
When I looked back, I found that it was already time to go to work, and many people even found that they were already late.
Looking at half of the mines dug in front of me, half of the caves explored, half of the BOSS defeated...
A large number of players have changed their minds and used the excuse of "supporting the general strike" to convince themselves to take a day off and play games at home.
The current number of Yunmeng players in Germany is in the millions!
Ever since, the largest strike in German history began!
Even in the government's worst assessment, the expected number of strikes did not exceed 100,000.
But on this day, the number of players who took leave for various reasons, stayed at home and played games, and supported the general strike in disguise far exceeded their expectations, maybe even several times or more than ten times!
The only good news is:
These people are scattered across the country and distributed in different industries. They will not act as concentratedly as a strike organized by a trade union, which will directly paralyze the daily operations of a certain area.
In the afternoon, the German Federal Cybersecurity Agency, which received more detailed data, held a special meeting.
At the beginning of the meeting, someone mentioned uneasily: "If Yunmeng wants to launch a public opinion offensive against us, or even a color revolution in the new era, do we have any way to stop it?"
This question directly plunged the conference room into an embarrassing silence.
This is exactly the reason for organizing this meeting - Yunmeng's influence can no longer be eliminated. Even if it continues to be stuck in the construction of servers, it will only affect the gaming experience of domestic players, but cannot prohibit them from logging into the virtual world.
Therefore, they must formulate effective strategies to deal with a super platform that connects almost all major countries in the world, has hundreds of millions of users, has no language barriers, but is almost impossible to control!
The most terrifying thing is: this super platform has begun to take shape, and it has reached a point where all governments around the world have to face it!
By this time, the director was even a little envious of America.
At least under America's strictest countermeasures, not to mention servers and games, even one of Yunmeng's Mirage consoles was stopped by customs.
As a result, Yunmeng was only famous in their country without any substantial influence.
Although the American government has been scolded miserably by its own citizens for this, at least it will not be like them, completely helpless in the face of possible risks in the future.
But the matter has come to this, and there is no use regretting it.
They are the Federal Cybersecurity Agency and must take responsibility. This responsibility not only requires them to notice risks earlier than others, but also requires them to think of countermeasures in advance.
After a moment of silence, someone finally spoke—
"Can Lin You be allowed to immigrate here?"
Upon hearing this, the director looked at the speaker in disbelief and asked in surprise:
"You went out today without any brains?"
Chapter completed!
