After returning to Yanzhou, Fang Zhao bought a beginner's console online. It was as if Curly Hair had opened a new door. He was immersed in the gaming world and could not be stopped. When he was in Muzhou, he had restrained himself a little. He could only wait for an opportunity to enter and satisfy his cravings. Now that he was back in Yanzhou and there was no one else, Curly Hair could let loose and play.
But Fang Zhao only allowed him to play some standalone games and not connect to the Internet.
Although the Internet was a virtual world and one did not know whether the other side was a person or something else, ever since he had used the 10th-generation console and learned about Fiery Bird's data, Fang Zhao knew that even in a virtual world, there were no absolute secrets, especially when it came to machines that were controlled by the brain. It was fine if you were ordinary and not outstanding. No one would notice you, but if you were special and someone investigated, there would be no more secrets. Signals from the brain were labeled, and Fang Zhao did not dare let Curly Hair take that risk. Luckily, Curly Hair was only addicted to some standalone games and knew that he could not go online and let loose.
After returning to Yanzhou, Fang Zhao chatted with Su Hou and listened to the results of the Dongshan Farm incident. The driver of the flying transport had committed suicide. The other passengers were actually students from other continents traveling to Muzhou. The pilot was a Muzhou local driver introduced to them by others. Who knew that such a thing would happen? They were also badly injured. The shock they received was even greater than Su Hou's and might even have some psychological scars.
"There are only two possibilities. Either it was some sociopath, or it was an enemy of the Su family." Su Hou had already calmed down a lot. After all, he had gotten used to being scared.
Su Feng had analyzed it for him. This could not be a personal grudge. Su Hou had not offended anyone, and the illegitimate children of Old Su Hou's father would not be so stupid as to use such actions against Su Hou. Usually, the elders would not care about the affairs of the younger generation and would turn a blind eye. Only by suffering many setbacks could one become an elite. But this incident was a real challenge to the authority of the Su family.
What Su Hou could say was limited. He did not know any more details. In any case, he was just a kid who was not very smart. As for core issues, before his IQ increased, the elders would not tell him much.
"Seems like society isn't completely peaceful," Fang Zhao said.
"There are indeed many things in the dark that the public does not know about, but they are all blocked. Today, Muzhou's Cemetery for Martyrs caught two people who wanted to take advantage of the situation to sneak in and bomb the martyrs' graves. However, this will not be reported. Even the people who went to the cemetery to pay their respects today will not know."
Every Memorial Day was the time when the Cemetery of Martyrs had the highest number of visitors. In the cemetery, other than the original cemetery guards in the core area, the government would also send more people to ensure that the memorial activities could be carried out normally every day.
This year, Fang Zhao did not intend to join in on the fun. After all, he was different from last year. He had quite a number of fans and was a public figure. Therefore, Fang Zhao planned to visit the cemeteries in the various continents after Memorial Day, when there were fewer people.
Three days had passed since the Dongshan Farm incident. Due to the Su family's interference, online discussions had decreased a lot. Regardless of what people online thought of the incident, regardless of whether they thought it was an elaborate marketing scheme or some earth-shattering secret, the heat of the incident was gradually being diluted by the approaching Memorial Day.
On Jan. 20, Silver Wing's virtual projects department jointly held a press conference with the gaming department. The SilverLight team officially announced that Jinro would be the captain and Dorrian would be the vice-captain. The original captain, Fang Zhao, would be applying for military service starting in April and would be temporarily withdrawing from the team. However, the team's strength would not decline because of Fang Zhao's departure. Jinro had been personally groomed by Fang Zhao. Although Fang Zhao was much younger than Jinro in terms of identity information, whether it was Jinro or SilverLight supporters, they did not feel that there was anything to be embarrassed about. Fang Zhao's ability was obvious to everyone.
At the same time, Wayne also publicly announced that the team would be adding new members in the coming days. As for exactly who they were, it would be kept a secret for the time being.
After seeing the SilverLight team's development over the past few months, there were quite a few people who wanted to jump over to Silver Wing. However, this time, it was Wayne's turn to put on airs. In the past, he had sought out people everywhere, intensely hoping that they would join his team. Now, he was the one being sought out, and his mood was sour.
As the focus of this press conference, Fang Zhao was asked many questions. There were also reporters who asked Fang Zhao about the Dongshan Farm incident, but Fang Zhao only said that it was an accident and would not say anything more. He would let the public relations department handle the reporters.
In addition, regarding the 10th-generation console, Fang Zhao also emphasized in the press conference, "Fiery Bird will provide a detailed explanation of the 10th-generation console's protection mode. Before that, it is not recommended that the 10th-generation console's owner forcibly control the machine."
Actually, Fang Zhao had not been able to control the machine immediately. If not for Su Hou's condition at the time, where he was buried in the rubble and had difficulty breathing, Fang Zhao would not have taken the risk of trying to control the machine.
As for the entertainment reporters, another point of focus was Fang Zhao's military service. Celebrities' military service always excited the media. They always wanted to find some controversial topics, such as a certain celebrity using his connections to transfer to an easier place for his military service, a certain celebrity going to a foreign planet to mine ore, but in reality, he was vacationing on a newly developed planet, or a certain celebrity's military service record being faked.
Many people wanted to use their connections to transfer to a more relaxed place for their military service, but some people could really make a move, while others could only watch helplessly and vent on the internet, criticizing and criticizing those who were special. Public figures like celebrities were the focus of their flaming.
If Fang Zhao had been transferred to an easier place for his military service, they would definitely have flamed him mercilessly.
However, Fang Zhao did not reveal the specifics of where he would be serving. Even Wayne did not know. Duan Qianji had asked Fang Zhao a few times, but Fang Zhao had said that he would return to Yanbei City before Memorial Day and discuss it with the old master before making a decision.
On January 26, Fang Zhao rented a car and drove from Qi'an City to Yanbei City with Curly Hair.
Every year during Memorial Day, the security checks were especially strict. The closer it was to Memorial Day, the heavier the traffic flow. Before Fang Zhao entered Yanbei City, he had to pass through a security checkpoint.
There were many cars today, and he had to queue up to enter the checkpoint. Fortunately, the security check was quick. Although it looked like a long queue, it actually did not take long.
After queuing for about ten minutes, Fang Zhao drove the car into the security checkpoint. Besides the equipment that scanned the car for dangerous items, the identity of the driver would also be displayed on the screen in front of the security officer.
The moment the security officer saw the driver's identity information on the screen, he was stunned for a moment. However, he quickly regained his composure and walked out of the duty room. He walked forward and gestured to the car to "roll down the window".
During the security check, the security officer would do spot checks on some cars and personally look at the driver and passengers. This sort of thing was very common, so the people queuing behind didn't find it strange.
The security officer walked to the window with a straight face. After the window was pulled down, he took out a paper notebook and pen from his pocket and handed them into the car. Then, he solemnly said, "Sir, can I trouble you to sign this?"
Fang Zhao glanced at the security officer's taut face and smiled. "Sure."
Fang Zhao took the pen and notebook, flipped to the blank page, signed his name, and handed it over.
"Thank you." The security officer suppressed the smile on his face and didn't take the pen and notebook. He continued to wear a stern expression as if he was carrying out his duties as usual. He then handed over a stamp pad. "Could I trouble the passenger in the back seat to sign as well?"
Fang Zhao glanced at Curly Hair, who was squatting in the back seat, and waved him over. Then, he picked up one of Curly Hair's paws and pressed it on the stamp pad. Then, he pressed a paw print on the notebook.
The security officer took the notebook and pen and carefully put them away. His face was still tense as he took a step back and bowed slightly. "Thank you! Happy Memorial Day! Welcome back to Yanbei! I wish you and your family good health and safety. I wish you all the best! "
"Happy Memorial Day!"
