An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 390 Winning the First Prize

It has been 24 hours since World of Warcraft went live.

According to the data collected by Li Zongzheng, the highest number of online users was finally fixed at the number of 16.22 million.

There is no doubt that World of Warcraft has set a record in the history of MMORPG games. Since the birth of video games in this world, there has never been a game that can drive players so crazy.

At the same time, another big event happened in the game circle.

Or to be more accurate, it should be the entire Internet industry.

On the third day after World of Warcraft was launched, Yunmeng Games submitted a 20-page report to the State Administration for Market Regulation, formally accusing Sea-Lion Group of monopolistic behavior.

In fact, during this period of time, the Yunmeng Group did not swallow the broken tooth into its stomach as outsiders saw, relying on patience to hold on to the pursuit and interception of the Sea Lion Group.

Lin Jun has been collecting evidence for Hao Yun since Sea Lion Group violated the contract and forcibly removed all advertisements under Yunmeng Group, and banned the official accounts of Creative Workshop and Yunmeng Games.

In fact, based on these evidence alone, it is still quite difficult to trip the elephant of the Sea Lion Group. Over the years, Sea Lion has been able to run rampant in the domestic Internet industry. It is absolutely impossible to say that it would dare to do so without one or two cards.

But no one expected that on the day World of Warcraft went online, things would turn around.

Someone was envious of the results achieved on the first day of World of Warcraft's launch, and instructed the technicians to launch a network attack on Yunmeng Game's server for more than half an hour.

Although this network attack did not cause substantial damage to Yunmeng Group, the technicians of Yunmeng Technology still tried to trace the address of the source of the attack.

To be honest, Wu Fan didn't expect to find the so-called evidence. After all, the strength of the other party's network security technology is far higher than that of researchers like them, and he will definitely not leave any clues for them.

However, when he tried to open the work log of "Zero", he froze there.

From the moment the attack was launched, all source addresses that attempted to access the server illegally or even suspected illegal access were recorded in the work log.

Among all recorded IPs, there is one from Shenzhen Bay Area.

There was only one—that is, the first time.

One time or countless times does not make a substantial difference, it is enough as evidence to submit to the prosecution.

In fact, it stands to reason that even if a cyber attack is involved, there is no direct evidence to prove that the Sea-Lion Group has benefited from it. At most, the criminal responsibility of the personnel involved will be investigated. It is difficult to identify the Sea-Lion Group as unfair competition as evidence for anti-monopoly investigations. .

However, it just so happened that the server of World of Warcraft is located in the high-tech park, and the Brain-Computer Interface Research Institute located in the high-tech park has registered a confidential research unit.

Ever since, this cyber attack cannot simply be identified as a criminal case.

At the suggestion of the lawyer, Yunmeng Group formally filed a number of charges against Sea-Lion Group, including stealing corporate secrets, production materials, and hindering research and development.

Although this lawsuit is difficult to end in a short period of time, it is enough for Sea Lion Group to restrain itself for a long time.

Over the years, the monopoly behavior of giants has gradually evolved from a commercial issue to a social issue, not just Sea-Lion Group. Sea Lion may not be afraid of the so-called lawsuits, and even the fines can be ignored, but they can't turn a blind eye to the sword of anti-monopoly investigation hanging above their heads...

For Hao Yun, this is already the biggest victory he can achieve at this stage...

"Three memory fragments... I hope you don't let me down."

Looking at the three flickering light particles floating in the inventory, Hao Yun silently prayed a few words in his heart, and then pointed his index finger on them.

Following a flash of pale golden light, a series of dialog boxes popped up from the system interface, almost blinding his eyes, followed by a flood of memories flooding him.

[Use of memory fragments! 】

[Unlock Memory Game: PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds]

[Unlock Memory Movie: Ready Player One]

[Unlock Memory Music: Prelude to the Dead]

Feeling the gradually clear memories echoing in his mind, Hao Yun took a deep breath, and a trace of ecstasy gradually appeared in his reopened eyes.

Good guy!

This Nima has won the first prize!

Needless to say how popular PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was at the beginning, it took a certain urban game that dominated the best-selling list all the year round from the top of the list, and even made steam a launcher for chicken-eating games.

If it weren't for the gods flying all over the sky who were left alone, and the fact that Bang Zi couldn't afford to lose in a game and made people sick, the game wouldn't have cooled down so quickly.

In particular, the "Battle Royale" gameplay derived from this game has spawned a large number of similar end games and mobile games.

The moment he saw this memory, Hao Yun made up his mind and arranged this game in Yunmeng Games' new development plan.

In addition to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, the other two memories unlocked are also OK, but the number one player is a bit difficult to handle. Many works that pay tribute to this parallel world do not exist at all, and it is difficult for the audience to get it.

However, if the brain-computer interface technology and the "Oasis" system are really made in the future, it seems good to use this movie as a promotional video for virtual reality technology?

After browsing through the unlocked memories, Hao Yun then turned his attention to the remaining card in the item column of the system interface, which exudes a faint golden light.

"Speaking of which, there is also a golden mission card."

Without hesitation, Hao Yun stretched out his index finger and touched it.

The moment his fingertips touched the card, a golden light burst out from the inventory, converging into two translucent dialog boxes.

[Task card is used. 】

[Task: Invest in a sci-fi movie. 】

The moment he saw this task, Hao Yun was slightly taken aback, with a slightly weird expression on his face.

Good guy.

Isn't this too straightforward?

Even when Hao Yun was holding on to his spoils, at the Sea-Lion Group Building located in the Bay Area of ​​Shenzhen City at the same time, Liu Zhiping, the president of Sea-Lion Group, looked at Huang Chao standing in the office expressionlessly, with a trace of calmness in his calm pupils. Can't hide the anger.

"...Do you have anything else to say?"

Huang Chao's face was pale, biting his lower lip, unable to speak a word.

The silence lasted for about a minute, but it seemed like a century had passed.

Liu Zhiping sighed slowly, and leaned back on the office chair.

"You have let me down too much."

"Mr. Liu, please give me another chance, this time I will—"

"What must happen? Must they blow up their server, or dismantle our group?" Liu Zhiping, who suddenly broke out, interrupted his words almost in a roaring voice, staring at him and continued, " Do you know how much damage this incident has caused our company? Not just an endless epic hit the streets... To be honest, it’s just a game, I don’t care! But now, because of you, a stupid act, let us face An anti-monopoly investigation by the State Administration for Market Regulation is underway!"

Huang Chao smiled miserably, and said to himself, can you really not care, but he didn't say this rhetorical question, nor did he make any refutation.

To be honest, from his point of view, what better way could he have done besides doing this?

Could it be that they watched World of Warcraft snatch the entire MMORPG game market from them?

Huang Chao didn't think he had done anything wrong, it was just that his skills were inferior to others.

Looking at Huang Chao who stood there without saying a word, Liu Zhiping's Adam's apple twitched.

Suddenly, he sighed and calmed down the outburst of anger slowly.

"About an hour ago, the police came...to collect evidence."

Huang Chao's shoulders shook, and a trace of fear floated in his pupils.

Liu Zhiping didn't look at him and continued talking.

"If the final evidence does prove that you were involved in that matter..."

"After you go in, remember to reflect on yourself."
