Play Game of Life

Zhou Yiping was stunned for a moment: "You still don't know these two hacker organizations? They are both quite famous.

"ATE doesn't know, VRNO should know, right?"

Lu Zhixing was silent: "I know about ATMs."

The behavior of these two hackers is indeed quite like an ATM (automatic teller machine).

Zhou Yiping couldn't help laughing: "What ATM, you are showing too much disrespect to a hacker organization with great destructive power.

"ATM, oh no, ATE, the full name is AgainstTheEast, which is a foreign hacker organization that specializes in targeting the East, especially our country!

"This itself is a loose alliance of hacker organizations. It is said that there are hundreds of members. It not only conducts cyber attacks on our country, data theft and disclosure hype on the traditional Internet, but also poses a serious threat to our country's network security and data security. Harms, and various attack activities are constantly being carried out in the deep virtual space.

"Tampering and stealing virtual space, stealing confidential information, and destroying various source codes.

"This time we took away a few of their broilers in our country, and locked up a group of suspects in the country, which can be said to have directly cut off one of the hands of this organization in the country!

"And this VRNO has a bigger background.

"We noticed that the two hackers of ATE did not seem to have much mental preparation for the underlying rules of this virtual space, which shows that they were obviously not the ones who planned the attack on the motion capture contest before.

"Based on the relationship of ATE in the hacker organization and various other clues, we believe that it is very likely that VRNO attacked the official motion capture competition before."

Lu Zhixing asked, "So what's its full name?"

Zhou Ping explained: "It's VR Network Operations, the VR Technology Network Operations Division!"

Lu Zhixing was a little surprised: "Why does this sound like an official name?"

Zhou Ping said: "Don't seem like it, this is an official agency. It's just not an official agency of our country. It is a deep virtual world network intelligence collection department affiliated to the US National Security Agency NSA. It can also be said that it is the The largest, hacker group."

Lu Zhixing thought for a while: "Then is the official of our country the second largest hacker organization in the world?"

Zhou Zhouping laughed: "From an official point of view, I must sternly refute your statement. But from a personal point of view, I think this statement is quite appropriate.

"Okay, anyway, this time I really caught an unexpected big fish, and thanks to Ni's virtual space, which held them back for a long time, and didn't use official means to scare the snake away, our security personnel were able to track down their intrusion route!

"I will report to the higher-ups, you just wait for the reward!"

After Zhou Ping finished speaking, he hung up the phone happily.

Make a lot of money, really make a lot of money!

Ever since Lu Zhixing joined the second group, good things have happened one after another.

Could it be that this is the legendary koi carp chosen by heaven?

Monday, January 22.

"What? Our company, went undercover? Oh no, hacked??"

Zhao Haoyan's eyes widened, as if he had heard some kind of Arabian Nights.

Other employees also gathered around: "What's going on? Hackers? There is no loss of our company's data, right? How can there be hackers in the deep space of 'Taiqing'!"

News of the virtual space hack on Sunday night quickly spread throughout the company.

In fact, Lu Zhixing didn't intend to make it known to everyone, but after going to work today, an official person came to ask a few questions, helped debug the VR game cabin, and raised the security level.

So everyone in the company knows about it.

Everyone was shocked: So our company encountered such a huge crisis unknowingly?

Hacker! It sounds scary!

Lu Zhixing said lightly: "They are all minor characters, not worth mentioning. If they were really powerful hackers, our company might have been looted long ago."

Everyone thought about it, and that's right, a hacker wouldn't be interested in this small company, would he? It is even more impossible to return empty-handed.

As for this matter, the person most concerned was obviously Li Rushan.

The little fat man grabbed Lu Zhixing's hand and said with concern: "Mr. Lu, did the hacker cause any serious damage?

"This is force majeure, it is written in the contract, you don't need to care about these losses, I will bear all of them!

"By the way, the source code of the game is still safe, right?

"It doesn't matter if the game's ticket is delayed for a month!"

Lu Zhixing smiled: "Didn't you say that the company has not suffered any losses, and everything is safe. The development of "Walk with Darkness" has been completed, and it can even be released now."

Li Rushan was a little disappointed, it seemed that his hope of bearing more losses for the company was shattered.

But the latter sentence rekindled his hope.

"Huh? It can even be released now? Then what are we waiting for, let's sell it directly!"

Li Rushan suddenly felt that Mr. Lu had opened his mind again. It was impossible to postpone the launch, but what if it went online earlier? Can the game have more bugs, so that yellow can be determined earlier?

Everyone looked confused: "Huh? Reverse ticket bounce? Mr. Li, this is not good!"

Li Rushan was blunt and strong: "What's wrong? Players are waiting desperately for our game, let them play it earlier, isn't it a good thing!

"Besides, the development of the game is completed, why are you still hiding it?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and suddenly felt that what Li Rushan said was somewhat reasonable, and it was difficult to refute it.

In the end, Yao Wenyang stepped forward to persuade him.

After all, he is an old man in the game industry, with rich experience, and he is better able to tell the risks behind these operations.

"President Li, absolutely no!

"The reason why other game companies seldom do things like reverse bounce is because the risk and benefit are completely out of proportion!

"The development time of game companies is basically stuck, and it is inevitable to encounter various unexpected problems during the development process. The actual development time is often longer than expected.

"In this case, there may be various problems in the scheduled release, let alone in advance?

"And the most important problem is that our game itself has no special announcement arrangements, such as offline activities, online promotion at all, so far, only one promotional video has been released.

"Temporarily change the release date, players don't even know!"

Li Rushan was speechless for a while, he was a little convinced.

I had no choice but to look at Lu Zhixing, wanting to get some help.

Lu Zhixing pondered for a moment: "On this point, I agree with Mr. Li. We reverse the ticket and sell it in advance."

Yao Wenyang was stunned: "Huh?"

It's broken, the brain circuits of these two bosses have miraculously come together again, what a mess!

Li Rushan was very happy: "Quick, Mr. Lu, tell me your opinion!"

Lu Zhixing said: "The operation of reverse ticket bounce, although it has certain risks, but the benefits are also great! It will allow players who are eagerly looking forward to play the game as soon as possible, and it can also demonstrate our company's efficient R\u0026D speed and strength. Isn't this a good thing!

"And you said that the promotional link of our game is relatively weak, so it should not be released in advance? I think the opposite is true.

"It's precisely because we don't have those fancy offline activities, and we don't have overwhelming online promotional warm-ups, so the boat is small and easy to turn around, and it is more suitable for reverse skipping tickets!

"Think about it, those big companies often spend millions or tens of millions of funds for publicity and distribution. A whole set of publicity plans will affect the whole body. How easy is it to change the date?

"Not to mention anything else, just changing the promotional materials on the offline billboards is enough for them to drink a pot.

"But we're different, we've only had one promo so far, and it's much easier to change that."

Yao Wenyang was dumbfounded when he heard it, how could it be like this?

Hmm... Thinking about it carefully, does it really make sense?

Even he, an experienced old guy, was taken in by Lu Zhixing.

Li Rushan was overjoyed and gave Lu Zhixing a high-five to celebrate.

Very good, I know Mr. Lu that you are my crouching dragon and my Internet mouthpiece. That's great!

"Then what are you waiting for? Arrange for an early release immediately!"

With Li Rushan's order, the entire 404 studio began to get busy. Some people submitted applications for early release to the official, and some people were busy editing the promotional video...

The release date of "Walking with Darkness" has been reversed by four days, from this Saturday to this Tuesday!
