In the Internet age, who still makes traditional games?

"Yang Jun!!!"

Lu Ming sat in the live broadcast room, grinding his teeth.

He tried hard not to lose his composure, but his face was still livid, his masseter muscles were tense, and his eyes were full of murderous intent!

Yang Jun was the leader of the team spun off from the [Black Flag] project group to cooperate with the boss in developing the [Raft Survival] gameplay.

The previous problem that led to "Raft Jenga" could still be called an accident, a case of good intentions gone wrong.

In the [Ocean Survival Competition], which was likely to last for more than a week, there was still a chance to correct it.

But this one now was a completely different matter!

This player was starting to perform large-scale magic tricks!

— This ballista was bigger than his character model!

This was no longer a question of whether or not it would break the game balance... If he conjured up a modern warship from 《Lord of War》 out of thin air, then the competition could be declared over ahead of schedule!

A direct kill to the competition!

Without any suspense.

If that kind of thing happened, even hanging Yang Jun up and whipping him wouldn't be enough to relieve Lu Ming's hatred.

Moreover, this wasn't an accident; it was a pure system vulnerability!

Lu Ming glanced around, but couldn't find a suitable person to replace him.

He had no choice but to put his hand under the commentary table and take out his phone.

It wasn't easy to operate in this position, so he didn't bother looking for someone in the contact list, but directly called out Yang Jun's name in the office group:

[Yang Jun! There's a player with the ID 【Count Zero】 who's using a system vulnerability to perform magic tricks in the competition! Immediately investigate what's going on and fix the problem for me!]

Yang Jun had been his old subordinate for many years, and they had a very close personal relationship, so there was no need to be too polite when speaking.

—

In the [Black Flag] project group office, Lu Ming's words instantly aroused everyone's interest, and they all got up and ran to Yang Jun's workstation to watch the fun.

"I don't really understand, he can't be handwriting code on the wooden sign, right? That would be too fast."

"I said a long time ago that this sign's functions are designed too richly, who would use this thing to draw? It should be set to only write no more than 30 characters."

"What does this person's ID mean? Count Zero? Counting back to zero?"

"Count seems to also mean earl, Earl Zero?"

"You know what, this name is quite geeky."

… …

"Is this the time to discuss this?!"

Yang Jun looked back at his colleagues speechlessly, always feeling that these people had serious faces, but were actually just onlookers who wouldn't mind seeing things get worse.

— The current success of Dream Building has made everyone a little inflated.

Only when targeted by the US president did the entire company feel nervous.

But after the boss directly confronted the US president for two rounds, this sense of tension was greatly diluted.

There was even a saying circulating in the company—

"You're just a puppet president who's elected every four years in the US, while we have a [Digital Emperor] here who's hash-perpetual, protocol-dictatorial, and cloud-hereditary!"

They were very confident.

Other than that, nothing else could worry everyone.

Even seeing a colleague make a big mistake, they still had the mood to watch the fun, feeling that it wasn't a big deal.

At most, it would just be a fine on wages and bonuses!

Anyway, it's not me who's being fined!

Yang Jun stopped looking at these onlookers, and while searching for the code related to the wooden sign, he said to his little partner—a talking snow cake: "Snow Cake! Help me find this person and see if he's live streaming."

If this guy was still live streaming, then the impact would be even greater!

Snow Cake was extremely efficient, and after only 5 seconds, it finished the search and reported to Yang Jun:

"Found him, this player is live streaming on the Biter platform, the streamer's name is the same as the player's ID, both are 【Count Zero】."

While reporting, it had already opened the live broadcast room for Yang Jun.

At this time, the number of people in Count Zero's live broadcast room had already begun to climb rapidly.

— Even if Biter didn't give him any traffic, after making such an outrageous move, viewers would naturally help him promote it.

At the beginning, the 18 people weren't very efficient at attracting people, with only two or three people coming in each time.

But as time passed, more and more people entered the live broadcast room, and the growth rate continued to accelerate.

When Yang Jun saw it, the number of people in the live broadcast room had already exceeded 800.

Looking at the speed at which the code emerged on the live broadcast screen, he immediately judged: "It's definitely not purely handwritten!"

"He should have connected to a module or script for writing, otherwise it wouldn't be so fast!"

"How did he do it?"

Yang Jun was puzzled.

But time waits for no one!

The number of viewers in the live broadcast room had already quickly exceeded 2,000, and it was about to usher in a surge in popularity.

The live broadcast room even issued an official warning:

[Suspected of using illegal means to play the game, please do not imitate].

"If I can't solve the problem temporarily, then I'll just solve the person who created the problem!"

Yang Jun made a painful decision.

It wasn't easy to say how much time it would take to solve the problem, but solving the person was much simpler—just apply for an [API Edict]!

— Actually, it was just applying for ban permissions.

It's just that the company was popular for playing with [Digital Emperor] related memes, so many black words and slang terms were derived.

Yang Jun felt that this should be very simple, after all, previously applying for related permissions was basically approved in seconds.

After applying this time, he was going to ban the account directly.

But the system rejected him—

[You do not have permission to perform this operation]

A question mark appeared on Yang Jun's head, he looked back at the application just now and found that the application had been rejected.

And it was rejected in seconds!

Just as he was confused, a conspicuous high-level account entry prompt suddenly popped up in Count Zero's live broadcast room—

[Xu Meng has joined the live broadcast room]

"?!" Yang Jun's eyes widened instantly.

"It's over! The boss knows!"

Although this matter couldn't be hidden from the boss, and no one would hide it.

But a sentence in the post-event work report was completely different from the boss personally watching the scene!!

Yang Jun looked like he had been struck by lightning, his face full of mourning.

He wasn't afraid of having his money and bonuses deducted, but he didn't want the boss to doubt his ability!

If this causes me to lose points in the boss's eyes…

At this moment, Yang Jun's desire to kill this person reached its peak!

Especially the moment Xu Meng came in, this old brother once again inserted the wooden sign in his hand.

The moment it left his hand, a large three-masted sailing ship, 170 feet long and equipped with 100 cannons, suddenly appeared in this sea area!

"Holy crap! The Dreadnought!"

Behind Yang Jun, a colleague couldn't help but curse.

— Because he was the one who made this ship.

A large amount of seawater was pushed away by this suddenly appearing behemoth.

Looking down from the sky, huge ripples spread out in circles on the sea surface.

Yang Jun and the colleagues behind him who were watching the excitement were stunned.

The audience in the live broadcast room, which had soared to 6,000, was also dumbfounded.

Not far from the sailboat, the participating players on scattered rafts all looked in this direction — crossbows can't be seen from a distance, but such a large three-masted sailing warship cannot be unseen!

"Holy crap, what the hell is that?"

"Did someone open a ship from the supply box??"

"It can't be fished up, can it?"

"What's the point of competing now!"

"Can I go and join him? Such a big ship, one person can't sail it alone, right?"

…

The contestants who saw this ship all suffered a considerable psychological shock.

The newest novels are first published at 69shu.com!

Not to mention them, even the streamer sitting on the deck was dumbfounded.

He stared blankly at the suddenly emerging big ship and subconsciously said, "Did I win?"

In the interval when the audience in the live broadcast room was speechless due to shock, Xu Meng popped up and sent a barrage —

[Xu Meng]: [Brother, what's your name?]

The streamer noticed his words: "Xu Meng? Boss Xu? Is this the real person?"

[Yes, you can check the official certification.]

The old brother paused for a few seconds, seemingly checking Xu Meng's certification mark.

After checking, his attitude immediately became much more correct: "Hello, Boss Xu, my ID is Count Zero, you can just call me Count."

"??" This time it was Xu Meng's turn to be stunned.

What the hell, call you Count? Then do I have to call you His Majesty the Emperor?

Count Zero also realized that it seemed inappropriate, and changed his words again: "Uh… I mean, just call me Zero."

This name is still full of flaws.

Xu Meng tried very hard to restrain himself from complaining "Do you want a 1?" and seriously said a word:

"Civilization Sprayer?"

One word, hitting the nail on the head.

Count Zero was stunned for a moment and honestly admitted: "Yes, I used a lot of knowledge from this plugin."

Xu Meng didn't ask for details, but asked bluntly: "Your skills are good, do you want to come to Zhumeng and work for me?"

Count Zero said a little nervously: "If I refuse, will I be banned?"

"No.", Xu Meng replied.

Count Zero breathed a sigh of relief.

The netizens were very puzzled:

"They won't ban him even for this?"

"Isn't that too unfair to others?"

"That's right, with this pile of cannons, others don't even need to play."

"I can understand respecting technology, but isn't this too tolerant?"

…

Amidst Count Zero's relaxation and the netizens' doubts, Xu Meng spoke again:

"I'll introduce a friend to you, he'll be there in a while, I hope you have fun."

Count Zero's mind turned, and he understood Xu Meng's meaning: Boss Xu has an acquaintance who also participated in this competition, and he hopes I can help take care of him!

He immediately agreed: "Okay, no problem, what's his name?"

"[Kraken]."

After saying these three words, Xu Meng stopped speaking.

The live broadcast room was once again occupied by the netizens' barrage.

Count Zero was not in a hurry, and stubbornly picked up a wooden sign and tried again in front of Xu Meng.

But he immediately discovered that the previous interface had become invalid — along with all the methods he had figured out based on the [Civilization Sprayer], they were all useless.

The loophole had been plugged by Xu Meng.

Only then did he sigh in disappointment, looking left and right, waiting for the player with the ID [Kraken] to come over.

At this moment, on the sea surface, rafts from all directions were approaching the sailing warship.

The players' curiosity made them risk being eliminated to come closer and see what was going on with this ship.

Huan Yue was also one of these people.

But seeing that he was only a few dozen meters away from the warship, he found that something seemed wrong with the sea surface — the originally turquoise blue sea suddenly turned black!

The next second, the black shadow passed him and covered the sea where the warship was located.

Huan Yue was stunned for a moment.

Then he turned around and started paddling desperately, away from the warship!

In his live broadcast room, the netizens still didn't know what was going on and asked him what was wrong.

While Huan Yue was paddling desperately, splashing water everywhere, he said urgently: "There's a big problem!"

The netizens were about to ask what the big problem was when a thick, giant tentacle suddenly broke out of the water!

Huan Yue looked back.

The camera followed the rotation.

So the netizens were able to see —

It wasn't just one tentacle.

But as many as eight giant tentacles covered in suckers shot straight into the sky, surrounding the warship in the middle!

The first-class sailing battleship, which had looked huge before, became as ridiculous as a model toy in a bathtub, in contrast to these giant tentacles!

Dark green mucus slowly slid down the surface of the tentacles covered with cyan-purple blood vessels, and jagged bone spurs grew on the edges of the dense suckers!

Mr. Geek on the deck looked up at the deep-sea monster's limbs obscuring the sky and opened his mouth unconsciously.

At this moment, he finally remembered one thing:

[Kraken] seems to be the name of a legendary Nordic sea monster.

So the "friend" that Boss Xu said he was going to introduce to me is this big guy??

Whose friend is so big?!!

The next moment, these eight huge and terrifying tentacles fell heavily from the sky, splashing corrosive mucus!

With a loud "boom."

The entire warship let out an ear-piercing wail!

The hull tilted, the mast broke, the deck shattered, and the keel groaned endlessly!
