Middle-aged Love Patch

A few months ago, Xu Youyuan was the producer of "Reshaping the Universe", a bigwig in the industry whose every move attracted attention.On the special day when "Reshaping the Universe" is about to celebrate its fifth anniversary, she devoted all her energy to the anniversary version.

Everything went smoothly, and at the critical stage of the test, Xu Youyuan received a call from her father.

Two years ago, her mother was diagnosed with cancer. Xu Youyuan was the first to know about it, and she has been actively treating it.How much did it cost? Xu Youyuan never blinked, she only hoped that her illness could be cured.Even if she couldn't really save her in the end, Xu Youyuan still wanted to reduce her pain as much as possible.

In the past, ordinary people were terminally ill, and most of them had no possibility of cure, or the cost of treatment was astronomical, so they didn't think much about it and waited to die.It is possible to die more simply, without suffering too much, and the burden on the family is not so heavy.Some died procrastinatingly, making themselves uncomfortable, and their family members had to lose their life savings.

Now that medical care is more developed, it should be a good thing.Many diseases were terminally ill before, but now there is hope, as long as you pay enough money, there is a possibility of cure.Even if there is really no hope in the end, advanced technology can be used to minimize the suffering of patients.

People are mortal, the key depends on how they die.Whether to come into this world crying and leave with a smile, or to come and leave crying, depends on whether the money is enough.

With such a big temptation in front of you, will you give me money?

Xu Youyuan had no choice but to obediently give the money.

20 per day for common medicines, not including special medicines and photochemical treatments.Some improvement after each treatment, and the cancer cells are temporarily blocked, but there is no guarantee how long it will last.

Day after day, with such exhaustion, even an elite rich man like Xu Youyuan is almost unable to support it.

After selling two houses, her savings were rapidly depleted. Fortunately, her success over the years had allowed her to accumulate enough, and she finally saw a turning point.

The last operation was very successful. The family knew that their daughter was busy with work, and sometimes they didn't have time to go home during the holidays. They wanted to let her go back to work if she was fine. Unexpectedly, not long after Xu Youyuan left, her mother's condition deteriorated rapidly.

This time, the critical illness notice was still issued, and the situation was more serious than ever, and she understood it without her father saying much.

When Xu Youyuan came out of the vacuum train station, her face was obviously tired.

It was the time when the anniversary version was going to be launched, but my mother was critically ill, and it was impossible for her not to come back.After receiving her father's call, she bought a ticket for the nearest bus, the first bus at 6 o'clock the next morning.After explaining all the important matters overnight, he hurried to the station.

She had a hunch that going home this time would be the last time she and her mother would meet, and she didn't know how long it would take.

After staying at home for five days, colleagues from the project team called every day, and she explained everything in detail and took notes.

There seems to be some problems, the subordinates are hesitating, and the video conference has been disturbed.

baffling.

It's not that Xu Youyuan didn't pay attention.

On the sixth day, my mother's mental state improved completely, and she could even eat some porridge, but she insisted on taking off the oxygen mask to talk to her family.

Talking intermittently until midnight, neither Xu Youyuan nor her father dared to sleep, and kept on struggling.When it was about to dawn, my mother said that she wanted to eat the pot side at the door of the house, which was Xu Youyuan's family's favorite breakfast when she was a child.

Xu Youyuan placed a takeaway order, and Guobian was delivered quickly.

The hospital has regulations that the food delivery staff can only wait outside, so Xu Youyuan asked her father to stay in the ward and pick up the food by herself.

Every second counts, she is afraid that she will not be able to realize her mother's last wish in time, and she is even more afraid that she will not see her last time.

When she returned to the ward with the hot pot in the thermos, her mother still opened her eyes weakly. This old lady, who was so thin that only a layer of skin remained, was tenaciously supporting her life and did not want to leave any regrets for her family. .

Just as Xu Youyuan thought, her mother only ate one bite of the side of the pot and passed away after eating.

Dad was in a coma for a long time due to grief, and relatives at home came to help, but the more they helped, the more they helped.

The whole process was handled by Xu Youyuan alone.She was very calm, because she had no time to be sad, and there was a clear and cruel voice in her mind telling her that when a person dies, there is nothing left, and no amount of grief will help.Fortunately, when my mother was alive, she gave the best she could give, with a clear conscience.

The day her mother passed away was the fifth anniversary of "Reshaping the Universe". When the anniversary edition was launched, she was in the process of contacting the funeral service provider. She never received a single video call from the computer, and the communication records were even erased afterwards. , This weird thing was discovered after a long time.

Then came the dreadful disaster.

Just as she's getting her hands full on her mom's funeral, the fifth-anniversary edition of "Reinventing the Universe" hits a major hole like never before, and it all happens too fast for anyone to anticipate.

After the new version was updated, the vulnerability appeared.

Tens of thousands of players frantically spawned epic vehicles, which were passed on from ten to hundreds. The huge player group of "Reshaping the Universe" made the situation uncontrollable in a very short period of time, and the game balance was completely destroyed.

As a leader in the game industry, it is impossible for SQUALL to have preventive measures. The easiest way is to cut off the entrance, let all players go offline, and then slowly repair it.

There will be compensation, and players who take advantage of loopholes and violate the rules will also be punished.Over the past five years, "Reshaping the Universe" has experienced countless tests and challenges. Although this outbreak was very sudden and violent, they are still very confident that they can settle it quickly. At most, the online forum will be lively for a while. will subside in a short time.

This is everyone's experience.

But the next developments surprised these self-proclaimed experienced industry insiders.

All the outsiders who happened below have no way of knowing, only the high-level inside has heard.

Someone used a loophole to hack into the game server, cracked the encryption program in a very short time, and stole the account information of tens of thousands of players.Player accounts are linked to bank cards or payment software, and their money is quickly stolen.

Five hundred, one thousand... ten thousand, fifty thousand...

Hundreds of millions of dollars were swiped before everyone could react in time, and this number is still growing rapidly at a rate of [-] per second.

The strange thing is that in the past, large-scale abnormal transfers will be monitored by the government, thereby freezing the transfer account and path.But this time, the hackers seem to have gotten through the trick long ago, evading monitoring very skillfully, and diverting huge sums of money overseas.

The transfer process was so smooth that the parties didn't even receive the transfer information.

Everything is going on secretly and secretly.

The past success of "Reshaping the Universe" and the huge number of users it is proud of seem so ironic at this moment.

More than 40% of the people in the country have accounts of "Reshaping the Universe", and the number of players worldwide exceeds one billion.And the game adopts an online hosting system, which allows players to keep their accounts active in the game world when they are working or sleeping.

There are a lot of activities in the fifth anniversary version, and the massive rewards and rewards naturally attract countless players to the server, and the number of online players hit a record high.

The more people online, the higher the amount stolen.

This is an achievement that can be proud of, but it has become a mountain of backlash.

Finally someone found out that his money was gone, quickly reported to the police and went online, and the matter was spread at the speed of light.

Players checked their accounts one after another, but it was too late at this time, and the account had already been swiped empty.

There is no evidence to prove that all this is caused by "reshaping the universe", because the transfer path is encrypted and has not been cracked for the time being.Judging from the encryption level, even if it is cracked, it may not be able to find the real path.

The public does not let SQUALL go because there is no real evidence. How to vent their anger never needs the support of evidence.

There are constant criticisms on the Internet, but no one has shown up on SQUAL.

How much money was stolen, the police did not announce the results to the public, not even a public press conference.

According to legend, by the time the accounts involved in the case were completely frozen, the total amount that had been transferred was as high as 8000 billion.

However, 8000 billion is just the beginning.

"I didn't tell you, when I came back from my hometown, the police were already waiting for me, and they took me away at the station." Xu Youyuan was very calm when talking about this incident, but Shi Ye's back felt chills .

"8000 billion... oh my god..." Shi Ye said, "I thought the amount would be very large, but I didn't expect it to be so scary..."

Xu Youyuan said: "Economic losses are easy to talk about, and the more terrifying ones are yet to come."

"Reshaping the Universe" is the pioneer of holographic immersive games, and the game access device directly connected with neurons was hailed as a revolutionary product when it came out, and was even called one of the greatest inventions of the 21st century.It allows players to truly immerse themselves in a perfect game world, and get the most direct and exciting game experience in a game world that is infinitely close to the real world-this is also the main reason why "Reshaping the Universe" has achieved unprecedented success.

However, from the early days of the game's launch until today, doubts about it have never stopped.

The operation of directly connecting neurons can indeed build a very real game scene in the brain, but the critics feel that the report given by SQUALL is not authoritative enough to prove that their games are harmless to the human body. of.

SQUAL does not intend to ignore these voices of doubt. After all, all the data show that players are not affected by these doubts, and the money they earn is real.

Xu Youyuan, as a producer, has always put "guaranteeing the personal safety of game players" in the first place.She is indeed like all contemporary youths, she wants to be successful, she wants to do something big to change the world, but the words "human life is at stake" have always been hanging in her heart.

She has been one of the first volunteers since the earliest developments.All the experimental reports have proved that her game has no damage to the human body.

What she saw and experienced with her own eyes will not be fake.

But this vehicle incident not only emptied the player's account, but even directly caused fatal damage to more than 200 players.

According to their family members, the injured fell to the ground with a yell and fell unconscious less than 2 minutes after accessing the game, foaming at the mouth. He is still unconscious and has very similar symptoms.

For a time, all the media and the general public focused their attention on "reshaping the universe", and there were constant criticisms.

Regardless of whether he admits it or not, and whether he shows his face or not, Xu Youyuan, the project leader, has been pushed to the edge of a cliff.

Xu Youyuan spent two weeks in the police station before being released on bail.

What happened during these two weeks, she had no idea.

When she returned to the company, everything seemed to be settled.

It is said that the company hired people to recover most of the money and appease the victim's family, and the victim's family also plans not to pursue it.What is even more magical is that the family members actually changed their words, saying that the wounded lying in the hospital did not happen because of playing "Reshape the Universe", but because they themselves had a history of other diseases, and "Reshape the Universe" directly connected to the neurons way without any problems.

The most important thing is that someone has taken the blame.

Xu Youyuan was completely dumbfounded.

Immediately afterwards, the water army rushed into the social network to wash away the previous negative public opinion about the company.

The hacker group that invaded the game and transferred 8000 billion yuan was caught by SQUALL and submitted to the police. The action was extremely fast.The attitude of the people has naturally undergone a huge change from the violent collective crusade at the beginning to the recovery of the money and an objective compensation.In the later stage, there was no need for water troops to control the field, and many people spontaneously spoke for SQUALL.

It can be said that SQUALL perfectly avoided the fatal spot in this disaster, and was not hit by a huge wave and sank to the bottom of the sea, but rushed to a higher place by the turbulent waves.

It all came together in two weeks, which is incredible.

Shi Ye gasped when he heard this: "It's like..."

"You have the same feeling, right?" Xu Youyuan's eyes were sharp, "It's as if everything has been prepared."

"You mean, the top management of SQUALL has anticipated this?" Shi Ye said, "Could it be that you are overthinking? After all, no matter how good the public relations are, even if someone uses money to talk, SQUALL itself will It's not good for anyone if you can't escape the negativity. Besides, isn't someone taking the blame?"

Xu Youyuan said: "It was someone who took the blame, and the reason why it is called 'reproach' is because everyone understands that that person got into the situation for me, and the real source of the problem is still on me.

"The two weeks in the police station were longer than two centuries. At that time, I really thought that my life was over. However, when I came out and saw the situation clearly, I had another subtle feeling."
