When Lu Zhou first received a call from Chen Yushan, he was confused.
However, when he followed Chen Yushan's suggestion and opened Weibo, he saw that the number of private messages and @ him had skyrocketed to 99 +.
Sure enough, what he was most worried about happened.
With a perturbed heart, he clicked on the comments that tagged him.
Surprisingly, most of the people tagged him didn't criticize him, nor did they compliment him on how handsome he was. Instead …
[God Lu, is the Phantom system really that realistic? (excited)]
[What's so great about bullying girls? If you have the guts, come at me! (angry) (angry)]
[This is fake! I found out! How could a lousy game scare people to tears? I don't care, I don't believe they won't give me a closed beta test qualification! They must be paid!]
[When are you going to go online, don't do closed beta testing, okay? I'm begging you. (crying)]
Lu Zhou:???
Why does this sound like …
Something's wrong?
However, now was not the time to care about these idiotic netizens.
Lu Zhou opened his contact list and called Chen Yushan. As soon as the call connected, he went straight to the point.
"What's going on?"
Chen Yushan was having a headache. She pinched her eyebrows and said, "… Just like what you saw, yesterday's closed beta test caused some trouble. We postponed the next closed beta for the time being … Speaking of which, what happened in the closed beta yesterday? I read the experiment plan from the Institute for Advanced Study, and it didn't mention anything about monsters, blood, or fighting. "
Honestly speaking, Chen Yushan was still muddled.
Before the closed beta test started yesterday, she personally read the experiment report submitted by the planning department. It clearly described a game with the theme of "survival in the wild".
Who would have thought that when the sky darkened, a group of monsters that didn't look like XXXX's core values would rush out of the forest and crush the players to the ground. They didn't even apply the anti-harmony patch.
Fortunately, there were no minors among the closed beta testers, otherwise, they would be in even more trouble.
Lu Zhou coughed awkwardly and said, "There was a small accident, you can think of it as a system bug."
Chen Yushan said, "Do you think I'm an idiot?"
What kind of bug can change the game itself?
Is this something that can be explained away by saying it's a bug?
"That's not the problem right now. Anyway, I can guarantee that this kind of accident won't happen again." Lu Zhou didn't want to explain, so he changed the topic and said, "The key now is how to properly deal with the negative impact of the accident that has already happened."
Chen Yushan said with a headache, "Our public relations department is already on the move … To be honest, I suspect that our competitors are adding fuel to the fire. We have conducted public relations with several large domestic Internet companies, and most of them are quite cooperative. However, when it comes to public relations with foreign media platforms, we have encountered obvious resistance. Some media outlets that we have a good relationship with said that someone paid to smear the Phantom system and turn public opinion against us. "
The purpose was obviously to prevent the Phantom system from being promoted overseas and to "create" evidence for the hidden dangers of the virtual reality system.
Lu Zhou frowned and said, "Can you find out who it is?"
Chen Yushan shook her head and said, "It's very difficult. Not to mention that these kinds of people wouldn't reveal their employer. Most likely, they don't even know who hired them."
Lu Zhou: "Do you have any good countermeasures?"
"… I found the beta tester who wants to sue us. Since we didn't reach an agreement, I suspended her closed beta tester qualifications and told the legal department to prepare for the lawsuit."
Honestly speaking, Chen Yushan was almost certain that the beta tester was bribed by a hidden competitor.
Otherwise, in the face of a settlement compensation of hundreds of thousands of yuan, no ordinary person would choose to take the risk of getting into trouble and fight an unwinnable lawsuit against a large company with a valuation of hundreds of billions.
When Lu Zhou heard Chen Yushan say this, he couldn't think of any good suggestions.
It was fine for him to solve academic problems, but this type of company operation was beyond his capabilities.
After trying to think for a few seconds, he finally gave up and threw the matter to her.
"Looks like you have an idea, then I'll leave this matter to you. Let me know if you need any help. It's best if you don't. Haha. "
Even though Chen Yushan expected Lu Zhou to say something like this, she still couldn't help but roll her eyes and speak.
"You're in trouble, and you don't even explain the reason. You're just throwing me to clean up after you, okay?"
Star Sky Technology hadn't responded to this matter yet, mainly because even the researchers themselves didn't know what happened during yesterday's closed beta test.
"… Okay, I'll tell you the truth." Lu Zhou sighed and said in a serious tone, "Actually, I'm conducting a top-secret research project here."
In a sense, this was not a lie. He was just picking out the truth in a way that could easily be misunderstood.
Therefore, when Lu Zhou said these words, although he felt sorry for Chen Yushan, he didn't feel too guilty.
Sometimes, knowing too much wasn't a good thing.
Maybe one day in the future, when he felt like Xiao Ai was safe enough, he would try to make it public.
But that day was definitely not now.
Even though Chen Yushan's intuition told her that this was probably a lame excuse, when she heard Lu Zhou's serious tone, she was still stunned for a second.
With a skeptical heart, she asked in a suspicious tone, "Really?"
"Really." Lu Zhou took a deep breath and said, "The project code name is' God King '. I can't tell you more than that, I hope you understand."
Chen Yushan said with a strange expression, "God King … What a strange name."
It was so strange that it seemed like Lu Zhou came up with it on the spot.
"The name isn't the point." Lu Zhou said, "Basically, this is a large-scale sociological experiment. It requires a group of players to go through various scenarios and perform various behaviors and reactions in order to accumulate the materials needed for mechanical learning —"
"Stop! If it's a secret, then don't tell me. " Chen Yushan pinched her eyebrows and said, "But with all due respect, it's not a good idea to put this in an open closed beta, right?"
Lu Zhou sighed and said, "… I've realized that we should set up a separate, professional, and relatively closed test team. We should separate the two experiments from the open beta test."
He paused for a second and continued.
"Therefore, I decided to set up a separate project for the God King project at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study. I will recruit a group of professional players who are reliable and have strong psychological qualities to carry out this project. I plan on naming this team the Rebirth Team, and the number of people is required to be more than five and less than ten. I don't rule out the possibility of adding a new team in the future. "
Chen Yushan said skeptically, "Even though there are a lot of problems, I'll trust you for now."
Lu Zhou coughed to hide his embarrassment. He maintained a serious tone and spoke.
"Thank you, when the time is right, I will confess to you the details of this project, as well as the details that are not convenient to disclose right now. In short, I'll leave the God King project and the Rebirth Team to you! "
With Chen Yushan helping out, Lu Zhou believed that this small matter would be a piece of cake.
Moreover, from her tone, it seemed that she had already won. Other than feeling that it was troublesome, she did not take this matter too seriously.
Therefore, after hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou put this matter aside and returned to his office.
When Schulz saw Lu Zhou walking in, he stopped talking to Perelman and asked, "What happened?"
Lu Zhou waved his hand and spoke with a smile.
"Nothing, let's continue."
