"Okay, this is the information provided by the Korean side." When Fu Weiwei came, she brought a portable storage device with her. Of course, it was a copy. The real document had already been analyzed. She gave it to Li Huailin to show that the two sides were cooperating. She also knew that Li Huailin didn't know how to read it.
Sure enough, Li Huailin wasn't very interested. He said directly, "I'm too lazy to read it. Just tell me the current situation."
"Our staff are looking at it. Let me tell you the general situation." Fu Weiwei also knew that she had to cooperate with Li Huailin at this time. As she spoke, Fu Weiwei plugged the storage device into Li Huailin's computer, then opened the document and said, "This is the game development log of the Korean company C. You can obviously see that the game they developed is very different from the game that the testers played later."
Fu Weiwei said, "Look here. The game was developed by the C company's Thunderbolt 3 engine. We have seen the game made with this engine. In fact, according to the current evaluation standards, the simulation's realism is not even at least 50%. In the later closed beta, all the testers were amazed by the game's authenticity. Although it might be a cognitive problem at that time, look at the game's content here. It seems like there are some changes …"
"That means the game they developed is not the same game that they played." Li Huailin nodded. He had already guessed this, so he didn't have much of a reaction. "We have discussed this before. It seems that the Korean and American researchers have found a way to connect to this unknown server. These development logs are probably to deceive outsiders. Maybe this game is really being developed, but it's just a cover."
"After all, this kind of thing can't be announced so easily." Fu Weiwei also nodded. "Indeed, this game development log isn't worth looking at carefully. It only confirms our guess."
"So did you find out that it's useless?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, in fact, we also got some information from the Korean investigation at that time." Fu Weiwei said, "Although the location of the incident was in the United States, the Korean police also participated in the investigation. After all, three staff members of the Korean game company were also involved in this matter. This is the investigation report at that time."
Fu Weiwei opened another document and then said, "Of course, these are not the main points. The main point is the investigation of the only missing person among the 500 people, Zhang Youdong. This guy is really not simple. Look at his resume."
"Oh?" Li Huailin took a look. In the end, he realized that this person called Zhang Youdong wasn't just awesome at all. It felt like he was the chosen one. First of all, this guy was born to be amazing. When he was 4 years old, his IQ test was as high as 210 (because IQ was related to age, the test value was especially high when he was young). Simply put, he was a natural prodigy. When he was 16 years old, he graduated from university and continued to study. When he was 22 years old, he had already obtained his PhD, majoring in information engineering and program design. After that, he published a series of amazing papers and won awards. It seemed that this guy was almost invincible.
When he participated in the Temple of God project, Zhang Youdong was only 37 years old. He was a researcher specially invited by the United States. Not only did he participate in the design of the game, but he also seemed to participate in the research of the virtual image.
"In other words, he is one of the core figures." Li Huailin nodded. "What's the name of the American researcher from last time?"
"Peter Rael. You should at least write down his name," Fu Weiwei said.
"Okay, I understand." Li Huailin nodded. "According to Zhang Youdong's ability to cheat, he is probably the person who discovered the method to connect to the server. Then, this Peter Rael, did he have any interaction with him?"
"Yes, we have found out." Fu Weiwei said, "Although the time is very short, Peter Rael and Zhang Youdong did stay in the same school for a while, which means that the two of them are very likely to know each other. However, it is only in the records. It is a little difficult to investigate now."
"Well … it seems that there is some progress." Li Huailin nodded.
"There is an even bigger gain." Fu Weiwei said, "In fact, the Korean side can provide us with a gaming chamber from that time …"
"Oh?" Li Huailin was a little stunned. "Really? Isn't that good? "
"Yes, they were going to send it over, but I replied that I would get it myself." Fu Weiwei said, "Because I still have something to do in Korea to investigate. I will leave tomorrow."
"You want to go to Zhang Youdong's research institute?" Li Huailin thought about it and asked.
"Yes, Zhang Youdong's research institute still exists. Of course, the people in it have changed a few generations, but the information from that time might still be there." Fu Weiwei said, "This game has been in development for two years. During this period, Zhang Youdong must have returned to China. I think he might have left something in his report. I'm going to look for it. Of course, I've already contacted the South Korean side. They will send someone to cooperate with me. I'll also bring the game capsule back."
"I see." Li Huailin nodded. "It seems that messing with Korea wasn't in vain."
"…" Fu Weiwei rolled her eyes and did not say anything. She then thought about it and brought up the current problem. "By the way, this time I am not only looking for you to report on the progress of the investigation. Did you notice the SS-grade mission in the game?"
"Do you think it has something to do with the temple incident? Indeed, that's the number of people I noticed. Why is the number of people needed for this SS-rank mission exactly 500? It's exactly the same as the number of beta testers. Although I'm not sure, I have a feeling that this number … "
"Yes, I am also concerned about this number." Fu Weiwei said, "Although we know that this game may be very dangerous, we don't know when it will happen. I'm a little worried about whether this mission will cause danger or not. You will participate in this mission, right?"
"Yes, I will participate." Li Huailin nodded. After thinking about it, Li Huailin decided to tell Fu Weiwei about this. "Do you remember when the game started, you and I were looking for the heirloom together?"
"Yes." Fu Weiwei nodded.
"At that time, you said that the heirloom is a very important thing. Why? Where did you get the news? "Li Huailin asked.
"It was informed by the higher-ups … Now that I think about it, it might be Liu Heyun?" Fu Weiwei thought about it and said, "Why does Liu Heyun want to collect this heirloom? After we submitted it, there was no more news …"
"Liu Heyun might have read the server's information and felt that the heirloom might have a special relationship with the server …" Li Huailin thought for a moment. "I'll ask him about this when I have time. Now, I want to tell you about this heirloom. After I helped you collect it last time, I have been collecting it myself …"
After that, Li Huailin explained the situation slightly. Of course, it was about him collecting the heirloom, which triggered the version upgrade, and the SS-grade mission.
"So, this mission was triggered because you collected the heirloom?" Fu Weiwei was stunned. "Hey! Why did you only tell me now about such an important thing? "
"How would I know that collecting the heirloom would trigger such a thing? I only collected it because the heirloom increases my attributes, okay?" Li Huailin lied through his teeth.
"How is that possible? You participated in this matter before you collected it. Didn't you realize it at all?" Fu Weiwei said, "You …"
"Okay, okay. Anyway, it's already like this." Li Huailin spread his hands. "I didn't just stand by and watch. I'm still responsible for it. Anyway, when you go to Korea to investigate, pay attention to the heirloom. I also want to know what's going on with this thing. I suspect that this matter might have something to do with Zhang Youdong …"
"Something to do with him?" Fu Weiwei was slightly stunned. "Why?"
"I don't know. It's just a hunch." Li Huailin said, "Also, my SS-grade mission seems to be slightly different from other SS-grade missions. I suspect that this matter has something to do with the heirloom. As for what the difference is, I don't know for now. I'll probably figure it out when the mission actually starts."
"This matter is really getting more and more complicated …" Fu Weiwei frowned. "Okay, let's not talk about what you're hiding for now. Right now, investigating this matter is the most important thing. You continue to investigate in the game, and I'll be responsible for the outside investigation. If there's anything else in the future, I hope you won't hide it anymore …"
"Understood, understood. I understand." Li Huailin said, "This time, there's really nothing to hide from you. I've told you everything that I can."
"What can I say? Is there anything that you can't say? "Fu Weiwei asked.
"Hey, why are you women so troublesome? You really know how to make mistakes in your words," Li Huailin said.
"What the f * ck? It's me. Don't open your mouth. What else is there to hide?" Fu Weiwei said.
"No, there's really nothing else." Li Huailin said, "How about this? I think you should participate in the Trial Mission with me."
"Indeed, we need to send someone to participate in this mission, but I don't have the time. How about this? Let's send Zhang Yonglin," Fu Weiwei said after some thought.
