Part-time BOSS

Ding!

The elevator door opened, and there was a quiet corridor. Walking along the corridor to the end, there was a door in front of you, with the words "Technical Department" written on it.

Taking a deep breath, Murphy opened the door and walked in.

As soon as he entered, he suspected that he had come to the wrong place. There were no densely packed computers and busy technicians as he had imagined, nor were there any futuristic black technology devices that he imagined.

Instead, it was filled with a variety of game peripheral products, and the walls were covered with various swords and weapons. A complete set of armors were displayed on the wall, all of which were put on the dummies, making them look like mighty armored warriors.

The walls are all made of bookshelves, and they are densely packed with books with simple covers. Murphy suspects that most of these books are just fake, maybe just a layer of textures, because the covers of many books look very exaggerated. , in reality, probably no one would give a book such an overly exaggerated packaging.

There are also many sealed display cabinets displayed in the hall, which contain imitations of the famous artifacts, magic items, rings and necklaces in the game. The workmanship is quite sophisticated. Murphy even saw an orc skull glowing green. , Murphy guessed that it was probably the legendary Skull of Gul'dan.

The one-to-one scale game models are particularly eye-catching. Orcs, dwarves, elves, and even a black baby dragon are all housed in glass containers, showing still images of a certain moment in their lives.

Murphy's eyes paused for a moment on the graceful curves of the elf model's hips, and was immediately attracted to a long sword with a windy shape and a cold air in the middle of the hall. The famous sword with a dutiful son—— Frostmourne, the magic runes on the sword seem to be made of some kind of luminous paint, shining with a faint blue light, which is very sexy.

The sword was inserted into a huge ice model. It must have been filled with dry ice. Braving the dense white cold air, you could even see a layer of frost on the sword.

Gee, this is much more handsome than the one Blizzard released back then. I heard that when Cangqiong Group acquired Blizzard, it directly emptied the inventory of those game models at Blizzard headquarters and brought them back to China. It seems to be true. , maybe the collections here include exhibits from that year.

By the way, shouldn't these game peripherals be placed in the lobby outside for decoration? What's the point of hiding them here?

He got close to the Frostmourne, and couldn't help but want to hold the hilt of the sword and 'squeeze it' to resemble the plot of Alsace drawing the sword.

But he was unexpectedly interrupted by a voice.

"Hey, that thing is not allowed to be touched. Didn't you see the sign?"

Murphy was startled, and when he looked up, he saw a young man wearing glasses looking at him with an unhappy expression.

Murphy pointed in the direction of the man's finger, and sure enough there was a sign.

[Don’t pull out Frostmourne—dry ice frostbite warning]

Murphy secretly thought he was lucky. He was only resistant to fire, but not necessarily frost.

"Ah, thank you for reminding me. I'm Murphy. I made an appointment with Wang Xuan."

"Come with me." The man said and hooked his hand, and Murphy hurriedly followed.

After passing through this exhibition hall, there is another hall inside. This room still does not look like a 'technical department' should look like. Instead, it is more like a super large game and entertainment room with all kinds of entertainment facilities. In addition, there are beverage machines, snack machines, popcorn machines, shaved ice machines, mini theater systems...

Murphy felt that this place was simply a paradise for otakus and a paradise for naughty children.

A tall man was playing an old-fashioned retro arcade machine in the corner, and the joystick was swinging loudly - what a fool! A rather familiar sound effect came from the game console's speakers.

Wang Xuan was standing in the 'dining area', wearing an apron, making American pancakes in a pan, and sausages were being roasted in the oven next to him.

His techniques were quite skillful, and he looked like he often cooked. The smell of pancakes and grilled sausages wafted over, making Murphy secretly swallow his saliva.

"Ah, Murphy, you're here, just in time for breakfast, would you like some?"

"Well, it's better not to use it."

"Ha, have some, you'll like it."

Wang Xuan said as he put a thick stack of pancakes on a large plate, poured a thick layer of maple syrup on it, put the sausages on another plate, put it on the dining table, and then took a few more dinner plate.

Before Mo Fei could refuse, Wang Xuan had already handed a plate to Mo Fei, put a few pancakes on it, "Try my cooking, Bao Qi is satisfied, I tell you, this is definitely yours" The most delicious butter pancakes I have ever eaten - Zhang Zhen, Wen Rui, dinner is ready."

The man playing the arcade game shouted "Hello" and ran over happily.

There was also the man who led Murphy in. The three of them each carried a plate of pancakes and started eating.

Murphy glanced at the plate of pancakes in front of him, and finally couldn't hold back. He took a bite. It was soft, sweet, milky and maple syrup, creating a wonderful combination. Wang Xuan was right, it was indeed delicious.

After eating one, I was not satisfied, so I ate another, but it was still not enough, so I simply ate all the pancakes on the plate, and ate two more sausages, and I was actually full.

"So Murphy, what happened to you?" Wang Xuan asked while drinking milk.

Only then did Murphy think of business.

He was quite nervous at first, but after such a breakfast, he completely relaxed. Wang Xuan felt really good, and his familiarity made others subconsciously treat him as a friend, especially now. The atmosphere was so friendly that he no longer hesitated.

"I encountered something really weird. It's a little complicated to talk about, so I'll just show it to you."

He said and took out the thermometer - holding it in his hand, but after a while, nothing happened.

Hey, what's going on?

He picked up the thermometer and looked at it. It was intact.

Wang Xuan snatched the thermometer away with a puzzled look on his face, "37.8 degrees, oh, Murphy, do you have a fever? Why don't you go to the hospital?"

"37 degrees 8?" Mo Fei was stunned for a while, "It was clearly off the charts before."

"Breaking the limit? Haha, Murphy, you must have watched too many anime, right? The human body temperature cannot reach the level of 'bumping the watch'. If it really hits the limit, your brain will be burned out."

Mo Fei didn't believe this evil, "Then how do you explain this!"

He took out the lighter, put it directly in his hand and started burning it.

Two seconds later - "Ouch!"

Murphy screamed in pain and suddenly retracted his hand. He looked at the blisters on his hand with a look of astonishment.

Now all three of them laughed.

"I'm talking about Wang Xuan, who is this guy? He feels like his brain is not normal." The big man asked.

"Murphy, it's the one that triggered the black dragon bug before."

"Oh, it's him."

The other two people showed expressions of watching the fun, with a little ridicule.

Wang Xuan did not laugh, but patted Murphy on the shoulder cheerfully, "I said, Brother Murphy, what's wrong with you? Tell me and see if I can help you."

Murphy scratched his head for a while, thinking to himself, how could this super power be lost forever?

"I recently triggered a mission in the game. To be precise, it is an original plot."

Su Wenrui said in surprise, "What, you actually triggered the original plot line. That's awesome. That thing is very rare. It might be able to directly open the big version. By the way, where did you trigger the mission?"

"I grabbed a strange statue in Dalaran's treasure house."

"Huh? Those old guys in Dalaran have such a good thing. I didn't realize it. They really have a lot of background." The three of them were all amazed, but Murphy was stunned.

Murphy was a little strange: "Didn't you place those plot items and mission props in the game? You should have known about this kind of thing for a long time."

Wang Xuan shook his head: "Of course not. All worldview operations and plot changes in the game are directly run by the system matrix. They are jointly promoted by all players and NPCs. It is a complete and dynamic world.

Those plot items are generated independently by the system through logical operation, and they are all unique. How can we predict in advance who will fall into their hands and what kind of story will be triggered. "

Murphy was a little surprised, "Don't you game officials have any control over the game? Then how do you arrange the main plot of the game? Are you just letting it develop freely?"

Wang Xuan smiled bitterly and said: "Originally, there was a main plot arrangement, but due to the variable player, the plot could not develop normally at all, and various bugs appeared.

Just like the Dark Portal opened half a year ago, we were looking forward to it very much. We thought we could finally open the big expansion pack Tide of Darkness, which would introduce tribal forces, add a new camp, and allow the Alliance and Tribes to start a series of battles. If our brains are broken, heroes will die one after another, and we will naturally be able to make a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, those stupid adventurers directly blocked the Dark Portal and pushed back the invading Horde army. The warchief, Black Hand, was killed as soon as he left the Dark Portal. If Gul'dan hadn't seen the opportunity, The Dark Portal is about to explode, and adventurers may have to go on an expedition to Draenor in advance.

As a result, the large-scale expansion pack Tide of Darkness has been postponed. Are you angry or not? "

Murphy was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that there was such a story behind it.

"Will the Dark Door open again?"

"Of course...but it's not convenient to disclose this matter, so don't ask, just talk about your own affairs. If you do the mission, do the mission. Is there a bug in the mission?

"That's not true. It's just that after completing the mission yesterday, I had another nightmare. The dream was related to my experience in the game." Murphy recounted his experience in the game and the dream.

The three of them looked at each other and exchanged glances.

Wang Xuan laughed and said: "This is a normal phenomenon. As the saying goes, you think about it every day and dream about it at night. This is what happens when the game is too real. You think when you played ordinary games in the past, once you got addicted, you would do the same thing. Regarding the dream, now that you are playing such a real game, it must be easy to not distinguish reality from the game.

Let me tell you, you still have to play games in moderation. If you have time, just go out for a walk and relax. "

There is really nothing wrong with what he said. Just like smoking is harmful to health, it is the kind of truth that is useless but has no flaws.

Murphy looked at Wang Xuan's half-smiling expression, but always felt that the other person was deceiving him.

"So that mission will not pose any personal danger to me?" he asked.

Wang Xuan laughed loudly, "Haha, what you said is just playing a game. If there is any danger, it will only affect your mental state at most, so I want you to relax."

But Murphy still didn't dare to be completely reassured, "Will there be something like Morpheus again this time?"

"Probably not, and even if it does happen, don't worry, we will definitely deal with it. If you encounter a BUG, ​​just call me at any time. If your account has a program error and cannot be logged in like last time, we are willing to How about reclaiming your account at double the price? Now you can rest assured."
