Friendly neighbors are villains

After exiting the game, Amy immediately checked the network signal in the house. It was very good and the network speed was fast. It may be just a short-term instability during the game.

She cursed under her breath a system garbage.

It's 8 o'clock in the evening, Amy logged into the internal test chat channel, and two colleagues happened to be online: "Something happened guys." Amy communicated with the other party by voice.

"Tell me." Someone in the dialog box replied to her immediately.

They are colleagues, but they have never met each other. "M" has dozens of branches all over the United States. Most of the personnel in charge of internal testing come from different branches and different positions.Even in the video conference, everyone did not use their own faces as avatars. Except for Amy and Yuko (characters appearing in Chapter 7), the voices of the other three people even used voice changers, which is said to protect the privacy of employees.

After all, not everyone has a share in getting a bonus for the second internal test. If the colleagues who did not participate are jealous, it would be a disappointment to trouble the five of them.

Amy made a simple statement about the unexpected situation she encountered in the game. If the network is disconnected, she will not be able to save files or exit the game interface. She can only force quit and start over. No matter how attractive the game is, it can persuade players to quit .

After a while of silence, someone on the opposite side said: "It's really not normal." The speaker couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, and the tone was very sharp, "You can record the problem and report it to the technical department, so that they can fix it immediately."

"In fact, I'm in the technical department. I'm afraid our department doesn't have the right to ask someone to fix it directly, because it doesn't look like an ordinary game bug." Amy quickly pointed out, "I haven't heard of players encountering this kind of situation before. , I think we should report directly to the superiors, such a serious system loophole cannot be debugged in a day or two."

"How long?" the man said.

"One month, or 40 days, at least six or more technicians are required to conduct a full server inspection and reorganize the code. The process is very complicated." Amy responded to the other party.

"I'll give you half a month to settle this matter." The man said slowly.

"What? Impossible!" Amy raised her voice, "I will immediately report the problem to the superior department."

"I am your superior." The man adjusted his voice to a normal mode, a middle-aged man with a hoarse voice, "Joseph Miller (Joseph. Miller), I hope you have heard my name, half a month, if You can't deal with the loopholes in the system caused by the technical department, and I have the right to fire you."

Joseph Miller, the top executive director of Company M, is an impersonal capitalist.

Amy covered her mouth and said "NO" angrily, and quickly fought for herself: "Mr. Miller, please listen to my explanation, half a month is really too short."

"The company has lost hundreds of millions of assets because the game has withdrawn from the market. Do you think you have any reason to refuse to improve the detection efficiency? I will only give you half a month." Joseph Miller said mercilessly, "Miss Amy You are the number one person in charge of the technical department, so it is naturally your responsibility for such a serious loophole in the game."

"Sir, there have never been any technical problems since the game was released. Obviously, it does not belong to my scope of responsibility..." Amy's explanation was forcibly interrupted.

"If you want to leave the company now, I don't mind sending you a dismissal email in advance." Joseph Miller's voice sounded like a judge trying death row prisoners.

The conversation ended in an extremely unpleasant atmosphere. Amy didn't expect that the routine reporting work would turn into imminent unemployment, which was worse than stepping on dog shit while walking.

The salary and benefits offered by the "M" company are the most in the entire game industry. Amy wants to maintain her current living conditions, so she can only work here, and her ability has indeed been appreciated, with extra bonuses every month. At least it can save her from having to compare prices when shopping in the supermarket.

She really didn't want to lose the job.

Amy had to quickly adjust her mood, and gave the "almost impossible" order to other members of her technical department. Now everyone has to work overtime for this.

After staying up for two nights and not finding the source of the bug for the time being, everything is fine inside the game, and no technician can see the problem, which is not good news, especially when you know that the problem must exist.

Amy could have cleared more levels in two days. Not surprisingly, two days is enough for her to collect at least 30 super criminals to work for the "Duke", but now she can only spend a lot of energy on the newly received work content , and this temporary task seems to be in the foreseeable future.

"It's unfortunate." Yuko called Amy to express condolences, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"You can't help." Amy said weakly in front of the computer desk in the office, "I might lose my job soon."

"It's impossible for the company to treat you like this. You are the best of them." Yuko said, "I suspect Joseph Miller is a racist, maybe you can sue him."

"Then I will bid farewell to the game job forever, because capitalists know how to use their rights to blacklist foreigners like me who just got a green card from the industry." He almost ate coffee as a meal, but still couldn't stop the turbulent drowsiness, "How are you, have you seen your Tony?"

"Not yet." Yuko was also very depressed, "I want to give up the game."

"I'm luckier than you," Amy said, "I got my head pinched by Black Widow, and Captain America threw his shield at me, and who, oh, Hawkeye, has a younger model than the actor himself, and his voice It's very sweet, why don't you just change to a hero guide, Hawkeye is pretty good, he's a home type, and according to the data, he's good at making biscuits."

Yuko, who is clearly not interested in the other characters, taps her keyboard and says to Amy, "Hey, here's a quick guide."

"It's impossible to have that kind of thing." Amy said, "Don't forget that I am one of the designers of the game. I know how difficult it is to pass the level. The so-called clearance guides on the Internet are all cheating clicks."

"As long as you kill the player's old enemy, you can achieve the title of [Super Villain], isn't it very close to victory?" Yuko said.

"When is this eclipse video?" Amy didn't believe it.

"Half a year ago...wait a minute, I know this." Yuko said, "Do you still remember, half a year ago, someone posted an hour-long game video on youtube, he killed his old enemy, not long It becomes a supervillain."

Amy remembered what Yuko said.

Yuko stared at the video that was no longer popular, and continued: "When he was about to clear the level, he fell down and died. It's a pity. If he didn't die, he must be the first player to clear the level."

Reaching the title of [Super Villain] is not about clearing the level immediately or directly gameover, but once you have such a status, it is equivalent to omnipotence.People all over the world, whether they are civilians or superpowers, have nothing to stop the players from raging. The next step is the bloodbath of superheroes. If players are interested, they can continue to kill in the game.

Amy didn't know that the death of the old enemy could provide players with a shortcut. At least she and the team did not deliberately join this dungeon line in the process of developing the game.

However, since someone did find out the hidden customs clearance method, Amy wanted to try it, even though it was actually a kind of BUG.If she can get through the checkpoints before she gets fired, with $10, she won't have to worry about losing her job.

"I would have chosen to kill Captain America if I knew it earlier." Amy sighed in frustration on the phone, "I missed a chance to get rich." She told Yuko how she was caught by the Black Widow in the game, And how to knock them down one by one.

"Wow!" Yuko exclaimed in surprise, "Your nemesis is Captain America. It's so cool that you're even considering killing him. Isn't his blond hair the most dazzling in the game?"

"I don't know if his blond hair is dazzling, after all, he wears a hood." Amy said, "But it's a fact that he has big breasts."

Yuko said: "You should take a look at his ass, it must be very upturned, because I drew it, maybe you should find a chance to touch it."

Discussing men, even fictional ones, is always fun for girls, and Amy and Yuko chat about everything from Captain America's ass to Stark's sexual prowess.

As for Spider-Man, he's still a kid, isn't he, and there doesn't seem to be much to discuss.

Amy fell asleep unknowingly lying in front of the workbench. It seemed that someone was pushing her gently. Amy murmured a few times reluctantly, and barely opened her eyes, thinking it was a colleague who was working overtime with her to catch up with the code. .

"Amy, are you still sick?" Peter's frowning eyebrows made a slight wrinkle on his white forehead.

Amy was a little sleep deprived, and blinked sleepily.

"Maybe you should go to the school hospital?" Peter asked cautiously.

Amy sat up straight as if waking up from a dream: "Why are you here?"

Peter said, "What?"

"Wait, why am I here." Amy looked around, it was the end of get out of class time, and the students coming and going in the classroom kept shuttling in front of her, and from time to time, some male students cast gazes in her direction.

"Uh, you've been here all morning." Peter answered Amy's confusion. "And then you slept until now. You missed math and political science, but these two should not be difficult for you."

Ned poked his head inopportunely behind and added, "You're still telling the teacher to fuck off, Amy, and we're worried you'll be given a warning."

How did she get into the game? Amy tried hard to recall, and she seemed to have a little impression of it. She talked with Yuko on the phone before, and then stayed in front of the computer for two hours. After wearing the VR glasses, she couldn't bear it anymore. So asleep.

Entering the game, the brain is affected by electromagnetic waves, and as long as you stay in the game world, you will not feel sleepy.

Amy did not answer Peter and the two, but raised her arms to find the option to exit the game. Her hand paused in front of the [Exit] button, and suddenly remembered to discuss the topic of "killing the old enemy" with Yuko.

If the death of the old enemy is really a shortcut, then it will take less than half a month for her to meet the clearance conditions. Even if it is fake, killing Captain America is only good for Amy, not bad.

It is stupid to provoke directly as the "Duke". Captain America just seems to be easy to deal with, but the real situation is that all the villains who tried to deal with him were sent to prison by him.Amy has to let Captain America down with an absolutely harmless image before she can find a suitable, less conspicuous way to get rid of him.

Amy is now 16 years old, and she certainly cannot attract the attention of Captain America. Of course, it is difficult to get close to Steve as a commoner.

But the friendly neighbor sitting next to her is different. With so many goodwill points, it will always come in handy.

"Are you okay?" Peter shook his hand in front of Amy.

Amy looked at the ignorant young man beside her, her defenseless eyes showed urgent concern: "I'm not very well, I want to go to the school hospital, can you accompany me, Peter?" Amy used her softest The voice lied to Peter.

"Of course." Peter seemed a little nervous, but he tried his best to hide it.

Amy smiled sweetly at him: "Thank you."
