Chapter 401 Director of the Tourism Administration
Chapter 401 Director of the Tourism Administration
When the two of them walked out of Strawberry Coke's room, Gu Feiyu immediately showed an excited expression.
"Brother Jie, holy shit, what just happened? Am I dreaming? Is my illness really cured? Who are these friends of yours? Oh my god!"
Gu Feiyu threw out a lot of questions at once, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly.
Xiao Jie couldn't help but laugh. Gu Feiyu's reaction was exactly what he expected.
While walking on his own, he said calmly: "Don't be so excited, okay - you do have reason to be excited.
As to your question—you are not dreaming—your disease is indeed cured—as to the origins of these friends of mine—we are players of the game "Old Land."
"Jiu Tu? What kind of game is that?" Gu Feiyu asked curiously.
"It's a really fun game." Xiao Jie sighed, "It all started on the day your brother Han died. It was also on that day that your brother Han and I first came into contact with this game..."
Xiao Jie briefly recounted what had happened in the past, including Han Luo's death, Liu Qiang's betrayal, and the power he discovered in the game.
"So now you understand, this is a game that can change your destiny, but it can also bring death. For players who have gained power in the game, curing cancer is just a piece of cake. Of course, the premise is that you can survive."
Gu Feiyu was stunned when he heard this. This kind of thing was really outrageous. If he had not just witnessed the power of the magic with his own eyes, he would never have believed it even if he was beaten to death.
But at this moment he knew that everything was true and there really was such a game.
It was the skills in this game that cured his terminal illness.
Gu Feiyu was a man who reacted quickly. After thinking for a while, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Jie: "Brother Jie, you told me so much in detail, aren't you afraid that I——"
"Haha, leaked? Of course not. This game is monitored by the Game Management Bureau. It is essentially a semi-open game. Many people know about this game. There are tens of thousands of players. How can it be kept secret?
It is only through official supervision and suppression that it is able to avoid causing too much commotion.
Besides, I know me very well. You know the stakes and what to say and what not to say. You don’t need me to teach you.”
Gu Feiyu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Jie, you really think highly of me, but you have told me so much, could it be that -"
He suddenly looked at Xiao Jie with a look of surprise on his face.
The two looked at each other and instantly understood each other's thoughts.
Xiao Jie laughed and said, "Yes, I do have a way to get you an activation code. Now the question is, do you want to play this game?"
Gu Feiyu was extremely excited. "Of course, Brother Jie. You know my gaming skills and my loyalty to you. If there is such an opportunity, I will definitely join."
"Don't make a decision hastily. If you die in this game, you really die. Your brother Han is an example. I have personally seen hundreds of players die in the game, if not a thousand. If you want to join the game, you must be mentally prepared."
Gu Feiyu said calmly: "I don't care about life and death. If you don't agree, just fight. I have died once, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Besides, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I can't miss it no matter what.
Brother Jie, since you think highly of me and give me this opportunity, I will definitely seize it.
What future can there be in working for others? It is better to give it a try. Besides, you are so good at it, so what should I be afraid of? "
"Okay, since you have ambition, then this activation code is yours." Xiao Jie stretched out his hand and a card appeared in his hand.
When Gu Feiyu reached out to take it, Xiao Jie raised his hand and said seriously: "Don't let me down."
"I will never let you down." Gu Feiyu said very seriously.
He was very clear about the value of this activation code, and he understood even more clearly how great an opportunity Brother Jie had put in front of him, not to mention that he had just saved his life.
It would be unnecessary to say thank you for such a favor. Only by gaining power in the game will you be qualified to repay it.
Only then did Xiao Jie put the card in Gu Feiyu's hand.
"Come on, I'll take you to meet other people."
When Xiao Jie brought Gu Feiyu to the banquet hall, quite a few people were already there.
Because the official time of the players' conference is tomorrow, not too many people came today, and they are still in the offline communication period.
They gathered into small circles, and those who usually formed teams could finally take this opportunity to meet offline.
Of course there is something to be said.
Xiao Jie looked towards the lobby of the banquet hall and saw the members of his core group at a glance.
A group of people gathered around a large round table, communicating with each other, and bursts of laughter broke out from time to time.
Seeing Xiao Jie coming over, several glances were immediately cast in his direction.
"Xiao Jie, this way." An Ran waved at him.
When Xiao Jie walked over, everyone stood up, obviously recognizing Xiao Jie's identity.
Xiao Jie identified the appearances of these people one by one and matched them with the characters in the game.
A burly man was the first to come forward.
"Brother Feng!"
"Become an immortal?" Xiao Jie was a little surprised.
"It's me, Brother Feng." The bald, tattooed burly man said excitedly. There was a huge contrast between his voice and his body shape. His muscular body was like that of a bodybuilder, with knotted muscles all over his body and full of explosive power, which reminded Xiao Jie of Schwarzenegger in the Terminator.
Coupled with the weird tattoos covering his face, he looks quite domineering.
Unexpectedly, the boy turned into a macho man. When I first met him, I was still a naive teenager who knew nothing.
Seeing how I wanted to become an immortal, Xiao Jie felt both amused and moved.
He patted my immortal shoulder and said, "Haha, you have a good physique for an immortal."
I scratched my head in embarrassment, then laughed, "Don't mention it. My parents almost called the police when I got home a few days ago. This is the downside of having too much strength attribute. I'm too big. But you know what, I feel like I have a tough guy temperament."
As he said this, he showed off the muscles in his arms.
The attribute points added in this game will affect the character's body shape. It's okay for an agile character like Xiao Jie, who has a well-proportioned and strong body, as tough as a leopard. He looks very stylish when wearing clothes, but not too exaggerated.
Those who mainly add points to strength are all strong and muscular men, and those who mainly add points to spirituality have some elegant and otherworldly temperament.
Those who are mainly sensitive will be nervous, while those who are mainly believers will look great and glorious...
It is easy to identify their respective game positioning.
Xiao Jie turned around and looked at the second person, who was a royal sister with long straight black hair, sitting on a chair and looking at him with a chuckle.
"Ye Luo? Wow, you are much more beautiful in real life than in the game." The Ye Luo in the game usually dresses like an assassin, always with her face covered or wearing a hat, rarely revealing her true face. It must be said that her appearance in real life is still very good, giving the feeling of a clean and neat female killer.
"Brother Suifeng, you are much younger than I thought." The speaker was a forty-year-old man with a calm face and bulging temples. He was obviously a master and he took the initiative to extend his hand to Xiao Jie.
"Brother Haomie?"
"It's me." The two shook hands.
"Haha, I think he should be called Uncle Haomie." A young man with a middle-parted hair at the side joked.
"You are——Drunken Sword Immortal?"
"It's me, Brother Feng. You didn't expect me to be so young and handsome, right?"
Xiao Jie thought that he was indeed young, and looked like he was probably not even 20 years old, but was he handsome...
The next person to greet Xiao Jie was Xia Yi Wushuang. Xiao Jie recognized him at a glance. Xia Yi Wushuang looked to be in his thirties. He was wearing a leather jacket with his shirt open, and he wore sunglasses even in broad daylight. His messy hair gave him the temperament of a playboy somewhere between an artist and a street thug. It was obvious that he had been in society.
Next came two guys in suits, one was a little older, with a sense of maturity of a working man, while the other was only in his early twenties, with dyed blond hair, looking a bit like a non-mainstream 2D guy.
They waved to Xiao Jie together.
"Bai Ze? Deidara?"
"Brother Feng has good eyesight."
"Yes, it's me."
After greeting everyone, Xiao Jie finally recognized them all. He also took the opportunity to introduce Gu Feiyu who was standing next to him.
"This is my friend, Gu Feiyu, a newcomer who just got the activation code."
Gu Feiyu nodded hurriedly and said, "Please take care of me in the future."
"It's easy to talk about."
"The boy has quite a personality. With this hairstyle, he looks like a strong man."
"Don't be so formal. Since you're Brother Feng's friend, we'll be family from now on..." "Yes, yes, yes. If you have any questions when you enter the game, just ask. Everyone here is an expert."
Xiao Jie exchanged greetings with everyone. This feeling was both familiar and strange.
This feeling of moving from online to offline is very strange.
Everyone in the game is a master like knights, swordsmen, and martial saints who subdue demons, slay dragons and fight ghosts. However, Xiao Jie feels that everyone is so real and has flesh and blood.
On the contrary, these people wearing suits, ties and professional suits now seem more like some kind of appearance, a role they are playing.
They live and die together in the game, but in reality it is more like a group of business partners gathered together.
It’s a very strange feeling not to say it.
We were chatting happily when a man came over.
"Brother Suifeng? --The president wants you to come over."
"Come right up - are you Qianlong Wuyong?"
"It's me." Qianlong Wuyong replied. He was easy to recognize, with that typical military temperament, exactly the same inside and outside the game.
"Lead the way."
Xiao Jie followed Qianlong Wuyong into the elevator and walked into the conference room, only to find that it was already full of people.
Then there was another round of acquaintance. Xiao Jie was not unfamiliar with these people. They were all senior executives of Long Xiang.
Dragons travel the world, great fortunes reach the sky, dragons soar across the seas...
Xiao Jie had made some guesses in the game before, and when he met everyone this time, he discovered that almost everyone had an obvious military temperament, especially when a group of people gathered together, even their sitting postures were very straight.
Xiao Jie shook hands with him, but when he reached the main seat, he was stunned for a moment.
"Who is this?"
Looking at the slightly plump middle-aged man in front of him, Xiao Jie really couldn't recognize this character in the game.
He looks quite old, but he is well maintained and looks like a leader.
Dragons travel the world? That's not right...
"This is Director Wang from the Tourism Administration, and the head of the Northern Bureau." A middle-aged man with a beard on the side introduced in a deep voice - this is Long Xing Tian Xia.
Xiao Jie was shocked, but he kept a smile on his face.
"Ah, I didn't expect that the leader would come to inspect. Nice to meet you."
"Hahaha, it's not an inspection, I just came to take a look. Are you Yin Yue Sui Feng? I heard Xiao Lin talk about you. It's true that young people nowadays are brave and daring. It's not easy to get such a status in a game like this."
The two shook hands and chatted for a while.
This Director Wang seems to be very humble.
"Have a seat, don't be shy. Speaking of the work of our Game Management Bureau, we need to hear more opinions from you players. Do you have any opinions about the Game Management Bureau?"
"I think it's great. The existence of the Tourism Administration can solve a lot of problems." Xiao Jie said this from the bottom of his heart. After all, it was thanks to this group of people that Han Luo had dealt with the aftermath.
Director Wang sighed, "Ah, we have gained the understanding and approval of the players. This is the result of our Tourism Administration. What do you think of the Tourism Administration's law enforcement management? Do you have any opinions on player monitoring?"
Xiao Jie had no objection to this. After all, the existence of social order was very important to everyone. Even players would rather live in a society with sound laws.
"I think it is necessary to regulate. After all, the power held by players is too great. Once they die in the game, they are likely to do something extreme. Good monitoring can prevent it from happening in the first place. Secondly, if something does happen, we can respond quickly to avoid causing panic among ordinary people."
"Brother Xiao is indeed a mature and insightful young man. It is rare to find a player as sensible as you nowadays.
They all want to be lawless and undisciplined. They stir up trouble everywhere if they have a little ability. They complain when they are monitored a little. They find it troublesome to fill out forms and feel that registering is an injustice.
Alas, but it works anyway..."
After complaining for a while, Director Wang suddenly asked seriously, "Brother, if the Gaming Administration strengthens its supervision of players in the future, do you think anyone will object?"
Strengthening supervision...
Xiao Jie was not surprised. Players are uncontrollable factors and any manager would have such an idea.
"But didn't that happen?"
Captain Lin told him that when the Game Management Bureau was first established, it even wanted to take complete control of the game and confiscated many game accounts for this purpose.
As a result, the director of the Tourism Administration suddenly disappeared, and no one even remembered who this person was.
The Gaming Authority therefore gave up direct control over the game and instead adopted indirect management through monitoring game players.
Director Wang nodded and said, "There is indeed some risk, but that was three years ago. The situation is different now, so we can't just ignore it.
There are more and more players, and their power is getting stronger and stronger. In the past, a few policemen could handle it, but now they have to use special forces, and even then problems often occur.
Do you know how much trouble the previous guild war caused afterwards? "
Long Xingtianxia explained to Xiao Jie, and Xiao Jie realized that after the guild war, the Qinglong Guild was still okay, after all, it was abroad.
Those vassal guilds of the Qinglong Society were all in China and were originally supervised. However, with hundreds of people dying at once, it was impossible to monitor them all. Some players who had lost their minds and developed anti-social psychology took to the streets to kill people or seek revenge on their enemies. Some even directly attacked the monitoring personnel of the Game Management Bureau.
As a result, hundreds of casualties occurred in less than 24 hours.
Those physical players were fine, at most they could kill a few people with their martial arts, but they were no match for modern weapons.
Those dead mages were a problem, especially a ghost sorcerer who could turn into a monster and kill people even after his death. He killed several special forces members, and in the end we had to find a "professional" to deal with him.
These disturbances almost exploded on the Internet. Thanks to the information department's full efforts to handle it and the use of several hot issues in the entertainment industry to attract attention, the storm was suppressed.
“So, now we have to regulate it, or at least strengthen the control over the players.
Direct management may be dangerous, so our idea is to use the power of the game guild.
From now on, the senior management of Long Xiang will hold regular meetings with the Game Management Bureau to provide feedback as our agents. At the same time, large guilds like Long Xiang must play a supervisory and management role within the game and gain a factual grasp of the players' situations. In this way, the situation that happened back then should not occur again.
What does Mr. Xiao think about this? "
Xiao Jie couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed after hearing this. He was most afraid of dealing with the government.
"I think it's up to the president to decide on this matter."
"We definitely agree. The current question is whether ordinary players can understand it." Long Xing Tianxia immediately expressed his opinion.
Xiao Jie immediately understood that the so-called ordinary players were probably ordinary players without a military background, like him.
Although he is the vice president in name, in essence, he has the same mentality as those ordinary players.
They all don't like constraints.
Director Wang continued, "I will announce this at the meeting. I hope Mr. Xiao will take the initiative to support this agreement. As long as someone takes the lead in supporting this kind of thing, most players should cooperate."
Xiao Jie thought to himself that he was the one being asked to act as a stand-in.
As expected, Chen Tianwen guessed correctly, it really happened like this.
Speaking of which, he still has some appeal among the players. Especially once he responds, the group of people around him will definitely respond as well, and it will be easy to form a "momentum".
But this kind of thing is of no benefit to him. He doesn't expect to be king or a leader.
Being the vice president is just to pave the way for becoming an immortal in the mortal world.
When you become a god in the future, the guilds in the game and the power in reality are nothing but clouds.
However, Xiao Jie had no intention of going against it. Generally speaking, this matter would not do him any good, but it would not do him any harm either.
"Haha, this one - sorry, I won't take this job."
Director Wang was stunned for a moment, "Little brother."
"No, no, no, there's no need for us to be so intimate. This is our first meeting, so it's better to have some sense of boundaries."
"Then Mr. Xiao, this matter is also good for you. Long Xiang will contact the official directly in the future. You, the vice president——"
"Stop, I'll be frank. I have no objection to your proposal and I'm happy to see it happen. But if you want me to be your agent, I'm sorry, but I'm not interested. Since Director Wang knows that players don't like restrictions, he should understand that whoever takes the lead in supporting it will be noticed by everyone. Nowadays, everyone is not stupid. If I help you be your agent, how will everyone look at me?
Moreover, I am the vice president of Longxiang. If I take the lead in supporting it, wouldn't that mean Longxiang is joining forces with the Tourism Administration to recruit ordinary players? The players will definitely not be happy about that.
If you ask me, you'd better find someone outside the Longxiang Guild to handle this matter, so that it won't be too obvious."
