A Race to (Be) The Top

His words dropped like a bomb into the crowd.

"It has appeared! The prince of the enemy country!"

"Is it true or not? Do you remember correctly? How could the high-level family members of Net Zero appear in Xinshan's game announcement? If it was Prince Ji, I would still believe it."

"I know! It must be Xinshan and Netzero who announced their cooperation!"

"Why should two companies with independent research and development capabilities cooperate?"

"What do you know? There are no eternal enemies in the mall. As long as we can harvest the money of leek players like us, they can switch freely between falling in love and killing each other!"

"Doesn't that mean I will soon be able to have a big tengu in "Elf Contract"!"

Everyone was thinking about one thing, but Ling Xiaolu was thinking about something else. After all, the name "Chang Huanxi" had appeared many times in the mouths of the eldest lady and Ji Meng, and he was worthy of the name even if he had never met him.Does Xi'er look like this in reality?Playing games to make yourself look good is commonplace, but trying to make yourself ugly is an ancient miracle.

Ling Xiaolu took a closer look at that face again, he really couldn't equate it with the bread man who said "I love you" in the game.

His focus inevitably drifted away. Thinking about it this way, Ji Meng is miserable, and he can't make ordinary friends at all. Only people with the same background can understand him like this...

Ke Ming on the screen expressed a formulaic apology for taking up the public's time, and then got to the point.

"Abnormal player data occurred in the game earlier. In order to avoid the spread of adverse effects, the operation team chose to temporarily suspend the problem account."

The crowd whispered: "How did you say this? Didn't the two companies announce their cooperation?"

"What does this matter have to do with the handsome guy at Net Zero? If he was just reporting the results of the investigation, why did he appear at the scene?"

"The well-informed elder brother just now, which jubilee is Chang Huanxi's jubilee, shouldn't it be the jubilee of the millennium?"

"...I seem to have guessed something."

"???"

Ke Ming: "The way the team handled it was hasty and not rigorous, and did not take into account the reputation of the suspended account, which seriously damaged the player's normal rights and interests.

"After our careful verification, the reason for the abnormal data is that a certain tester of our company misused the player's account to conduct a BUG test after detecting a system loophole, which greatly increased the player's popularity. The accident was purely caused by an employee's operating error, and the player himself had no knowledge of it.

"Here, on behalf of all the staff of the Dongtianling team of Xinshan Technology, I would like to express our sincerest apologies to the innocent players who were suspended."

After Ke Ming finished speaking, he turned around and bowed respectfully to Chang Huanxi. Chang Huanxi seemed to be still angry, but the disgust in his eyes did not disappear.

The onlookers were blown away.

"What? You're telling me that this little brother who looks like he can make a debut is that fat, vulgar-speaking guy in the game?"

"Xinshan is also unlucky, a BUG is on the opponent's hands. No wonder he apologized so grandly. If he doesn't apologize, can he let it go?"

"The prince of Net Zero doesn't play his own game, buys a contract ring, and draws [-] copies of the client. He really loves Xinshan."

"Who said just now that people who have money to buy rings don't have the money to have plastic surgery? It's so frustrating that mom doesn't even know it!"

"I said long ago that it's impossible to swipe the list. How could someone be stupid enough to swipe so many at once? It's obviously a problem with the system."

"Yeah, normal people can see that it's impossible!"

"After the fact, I didn't hear you say that before."

Ling Xiaolu's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, didn't really fall to the ground until this moment.

"Now you can believe that people in our family have not made the list, right?"

The red-haired girl wanted to struggle again: "Then this only means that he is fine alone, and the rest..."

Ke Ming just continued: "In addition, the customer service received feedback from players that the original No.2 to No.5 on the popularity list are suspected to have abnormal data. After verification, the popularity values ​​​​of these four players are real and valid, and there is no violation. Behavior."

The red-haired girl didn't even finish her sentence, but was blocked back in the second half.

The person next to him gloated: "Why don't you say it? Aren't the ones ahead of you all the brushes?"

"Received feedback from players? Could this player be you?"

"Don't my young lady and my first bud sister deserve to be the No.1?"

"People may not care about this ranking at all. Sending flowers is just for fun. It's just that if you have a lot of money, you can just sell 9999."

Chang Huanxi himself is not satisfied with such rhetoric: "Don't say it so vaguely, just talk about how the popularity comes from."

Ke Ming turned sideways slightly: "The roses that have increased your popularity are obtained through the lucky draw of the new expansion pack client. All clients are purchased at regular stores. Our employees participated in the lottery throughout the process, as evidenced by the video."

"Three thousand copies of the client did not draw Fenglong, is this normal?"

"Uh, this..."

The audience wondered: "HELLO? This handsome guy, what are you talking about? Obviously your game has a lower winning rate."

Ke Ming, who is good at social rhetoric, didn't know how to answer this, so he could only express his deep regret.

"Also, what about my blocked skill password? Can you solve it for me?"

"The password you set is indeed not conducive to the construction of civilization in the game. Blocking it is a helpless move. The new password after conversion is carefully designed by the company's copywriter. If you are not satisfied, you can also bind the password again."

"Cut." Chang Huanxi said angrily.

"Do you have any other questions?"

Ji Meng put his hands in his pockets and leaned against the wall directly behind the camera. At this moment, he made a movement of zipping his mouth, signaling him to say a few words less.

Chang Huanxi endured it for Ji Meng's sake: "Forget it, I only have the last three words to say."

"Please speak."

"I wish you and your family a happy birthday."

Ke Ming:?

"How is Lingtang recently?"

Ke Ming: ...

"Want to have sex with a dog!"

Ke Ming put on a strong professional smile and faced the camera: "In addition, when we repaired the system bugs, we found that a very small number of players used bugs to gain popularity improperly. We will take corresponding actions on these accounts after strict verification. deal with."

Chang Huanxi pushed the waves from behind: "We must find out! Especially check if there are people who have used their own points and reported me. The thief shouted and caught the thief!"

Ke Ming continued to smile: "We will not wrong any innocent players, nor condone any violations. Please supervise and correct all players. Thank you for your patience in watching, and I wish you a happy game."

The video windows went out one after another, and Ling Xiaolu found that the red-haired girl who had a high sense of presence just now was gone.

She mixed in the crowd trying to slip away, but was recognized.

"Auntie! You wronged Xiaolubi's family to collect points collectively, so why don't you apologize?"

"Why do I feel that Auntie has a bad face? Could it be that you were the one who reported using the BUG to earn points?"

"It's no wonder that he insists on other people's scoring points. I have a lot of experience in feelings!"

"Don't criticize Auntie, don't you think Auntie is very humble? She knows how to score and only gets to No.6. There are not many people who are self-denying like this now."

The red-haired girl blushed at the words, and the character disappeared in place after a while. I don't know if it was an emergency logout or her account was blocked.

Everyone found that she was missing, and one of the fun was missing, but they also discovered a new world.

"As soon as Lubi got into the soul in the lottery draw, Xi'er was wronged and Xin Shan could broadcast him an apology. Don't you think that people in this family are either very powerful or very lucky?"

"Lutoushe is so European, so if I buy things from Lubian stalls, will it also become very European?"

"It makes sense, I want to be European! This is a store jointly blessed by the two companies of Xinshan Net Zero!"

"Don't squeeze me! I'm here first! How about the queue at the back!"

"What kind of team are you waiting for? Ouqi waits for no one! Go ahead!"

Ling Xiaolu stared dumbfounded at the crowds rushing up to buy things. The goods hanging in the vending machine were sold out at the highest price in an instant, and the amount on the store's books was rolling rapidly.Those who snatched it danced and danced, those who didn't snatch it sighed, and some people shouted for high prices to collect second-hand.

"Has anyone bought the one you want to transfer? I'll pay double!"

"Shop Manager! Do you have anything else to sell? Nude photos are fine!"

"The three words Lubian stall seem to have been opened, let me touch it!"

Superstitious players launched a new wave of hand-touching signs.

The deer, the superficial European emperor, the actual non-chief, Bi, closed the store and left with a guilty conscience. In case everyone finds out that he has been cheated and asks him to return the goods, he will not be responsible!

……

At the Xinshan customer service center, Ke Ming, who ended the live broadcast announcement, once again apologized to Chang Huanxi and offered to give reasonable compensation.

"I don't want compensation," Chang Huanxi refused flatly, "Just tell me how much money you can charge to Fenglong?"

Ke Ming was in a dilemma: "I'm afraid this does not comply with the company's regulations."

"I think you look like a wind dragon." Ji Meng was not afraid of offending him.

"I think you look like a brontosaurus!"

Ke Ming wiped his sweat silently, Fenglong Leilong, he couldn't afford to offend any of them.

"I really can't be the master of Fenglong," Ke Ming bowed his body slightly, "otherwise, I will compensate you as a human pet? Human pets can not only learn the unique skills of Fenglong, but also learn the skills of seven-line pets. All skills."

Chang Huanxi:?

Ji Meng was also incredulous: "Manager Ke, can pets be paid as compensation?"

"It's actually like this. There happens to be an employee in the company who can wear a collar and has been using a bracelet to participate in games before. I think he should be willing to bind with Mr. Chang."

"How do you know he is willing?" Chang Huanxi was the one who asked.

"As far as I know, this employee has a good relationship with you, and you should be familiar with him. He is the zero of your family."

Ji Meng felt strange, is it such a coincidence?

"Zero can wear a collar?" Chang Huanxi didn't think too much, his eyes lit up, "Why didn't he tell me? This is fine, I accept it, I don't know what his opinion is?"

"I will do his own ideological work." Ke Ming promised with a smile.

The technicians involved in this matter pulled Ke Ming aside worriedly.

"Manager Ke, is this inappropriate?"

"Where is it inappropriate?"

"After today's unexpected incident, I think that Zero still has flaws in the design, and it is not suitable to continue to go online."

"Didn't this accident just give you a chance to fix the loophole?"

The technician glanced vigilantly in the direction of Chang Huanxi, confirmed that the two people were chatting, and then lowered his voice and said: "Zero bypassed the iris registration and created a new account privately, which gave Chang Huanxi 3000 million popularity, he processed the data His ability is too strong, our deletion speed is not as fast as his account creation speed, and the account server is almost paralyzed. Even if it is repaired after the event, it only fixes this loophole. Our technology is not mature enough, and there are still many unknowns .”

"If you find something, make up for it. If you don't test it in actual combat, your work will never be perfected."

"But we have a dedicated test server..."

Ke Ming interrupted him: "The person sitting over there is from Net Zero, how do you know whether he is here to play games or do research?"

"This……"

It is not uncommon for peer companies to send "researchers" to competitors' games, and Xinshan itself has quite a few, but who has seen such a high-profile researcher?

"I need someone to follow him and give feedback on the situation at any time. Now that I got to know him by accident, I can just complete the supervisory work while testing the performance. Don't you think it's killing two birds with one stone? Don't you have someone more suitable than Zero? Candidates?"

The staff had no words to refute, but silently felt that something was wrong.

Chang Huanxi swayed over with a smile on her face, and she had forgotten the previous unhappiness by looking at her expression.

"Manager Ke, if I have nothing else to do, I'll go back online and wait for news."

Ke Ming resumed his professional manners: "It's getting late now, let me take you back?"

"Don't bother," Chang Huanxi hooked Ji Meng's neck familiarly, "We two brothers are going to have a late-night snack."

"Take your hand away."

Chang Huanxi refused to listen: "You have been playing for so long and you still don't have a fan name. I will have one as soon as I come here. Are you jealous of me, you single dog?"

Ji Meng's expression was indifferent: "Manager Ke, please let that employee continue to use the bracelet to play games, and there is no need to replace the device."

"Don't, don't, don't," Chang Huanxi said softly, "Can't I treat you to supper?"

Chang Huanxi's account was unbanned, but it was the second day that Ling Xiaolu saw him again.

Xi'er: Come on Brother Xiaolu!I have a happy event!

Ruby: What happy event?Your account is unlocked?Did Xinshan compensate you?Did you get the wind dragon?

He made several guesses in a row.

Xi'er: Come to the family territory and you will know!

Ling Xiaolu rushed to the family territory, and besides a few family members, he also saw Zero.

He is specifically listed because his name——

— turned pink.

The other members only expressed their surprise moderately, and 411 was the one that was hit the hardest.

He hugged Ling Xiaolu's leg and wept bitterly: "Patriarch, I didn't expect that we are the only two green names in the family. Why can I only take such an ordinary road."

"..." Ling Xiaolu pretended to pat his dog's head to show comfort.

411 looked up: "Patriarch, you will walk with me on the ordinary road, right?"

The corner of Ling Xiaolu's mouth twitched: "I will try my best."

Chang Huanxi came all the way to show off: "Haha, brother Xiaolu, I didn't expect that Zero can wear both a bracelet and a collar!"

Ling Xiaolu: ... Believe it or not, he can still wear rings... No, there are no restrictions on those two items.

"Really? Ahaha," Ling Xiaolu laughed dryly, "Is it such a surprise?"

"Hey, by the way, I haven't had time to ask him what he wants."

Chang Huanxi ran to ask Ling: "Are you willing to bind me? Didn't your manager threaten you? If he threatens you, don't be afraid, you can come to work in my company!"

Zero shook his head and nodded: "I am willing."

Chang Huanxi clapped her hands, it's done!

Ling Xiaolu also wanted to pat his forehead, is this a contract?This is clearly planting a commercial spy beside the competitor!

Chang Huanxi tried her best to put on a serious expression: "When I first saw you, I thought I hit it off! It's also because we are destined, so stop talking nonsense, come on!"

He stretched out his right index finger, waiting for the other party to respond.

Zero looked down, stretched out his fingers imitating his appearance, and the two fingertips touched together lightly, making a small "ding" sound.

This extremely simple ceremony is a vision that many appointments have pursued for a long time but could not achieve.

"I have a fan name! I have a fan name!" Chang Huanxi happily jumped in the garden, "I love you Xinshan!!!"

While he was getting carried away, Ling Xiaolu quietly pulled Ling behind the rockery and hid in a place where others could not see.

"Zero, no, big tester, you just changed the color of the name, right? Is your appointment radar still there?"

Zero One waved his hand, and a radar appeared in front of him.

Ling Xiaolu: ...

"Okay." He nodded and motioned for the other party to put it away.It's very exciting that Chang Huanxi just earned a human pet with the right to make appointments.
