"Xiao Ai, what's going on?"

As soon as he ended the communication with the earth, Bei Gaoyang's face darkened.

"Preparing to report to you!"

Bei Gaoyang said expressionlessly, "Say!"

"We found that the players' soul qualifications are changing as the magic network is strengthened time and time again."

Bei Gaoyang knocked on the table, "I already knew this."

"This test is much more in-depth than the previous tests... because there is no longer a limit on play time."

“So you are trying to extend your influence from online to offline?”

Xiao Ai had never seen Bei Gaoyang like this before, nor did she expect that something that seemed to her to be a matter of course would cause such a big reaction from him.

"……Yes!"

Bei Gaoyang tapped his fingers on the table, and pondered for a while with no apparent joy or anger, "What do you think?"

"Sir, isn't this a natural thing?" Xiao Ai didn't understand very much. "The magic network has a strengthening effect on the player's soul. This has been known from the beginning. Relaxing the restrictions of the game will inevitably lead to further strengthening. I

I thought you had acquiesced."

"You think it's too simple!" Bei Gaoyang stood up and walked slowly to the energy pool of the mage tower, "Soul, that is a field that even the gods cannot control. It is related to the core of the mystery. Do you think you can get one?

In fact... it's far more than that, far more than that. The most important thing is that no one can control such a process, and no one can foresee what else will appear besides this 'one'."

Xiao Ai fell silent after hearing this.

"The purpose of releasing game time is to test the upper limit of the capacity of the Magic Network. You want too much and are too radical."

"I'm sorry, sir."

Bei Gaoyang waved his hand, "What is your decision after discussion?"

"Yes."

"What are you going to do next? What happened to the souls of those players who died suddenly?"

When the player dies in reality, the soul loses its bearing and sustenance. Even if it can exist in the game for a period of time, it is a tree without roots and a source of water. It will not last long, at best, it will only last a few hours.

Unless the magic net replaces it.

"It's out of consideration for faith value, sir!"·

Hearing the disapproval in this tone, Xiao Ai felt a little guilty.

"It's rare that you would do such a loss-making business," Bei Gaoyang said sarcastically.

"The destination of the soul is the core content of faith...it must be solved."

"...let them rest in peace!"

"……OK."

"This matter is not appropriate yet. Don't think that since the fifth level of the Magic Network has 600,000 players and has huge influence offline, you can do whatever you want." Bei Gaoyang slowed down and said, "What do you think?

Will it be allowed offline? Wrong, absolutely wrong. Once Canaan’s harm exceeds the benefits it may bring, I can guarantee you that not a single Chinese player will go online tomorrow.”

Xiao Ai was shocked when she heard this, "...can they give up the benefits that Canaan has brought them?"

"How big of a benefit is it?" Bei Gaoyang asked, "compared to the vast majority of citizens falling into a long-term slumber?"

Xiao Ai stopped talking.

"Game time must be controlled...Has the upper limit of the capacity of the Magic Network been tested?"

"No."

Bei Gaoyang turned around unexpectedly.

"The maximum number of people online at the same time on Magic Network is 697,600, and it is running well."

Only then did Bei Gaoyang smile, "This is good news."

The Magic Network is on the fifth level. There is no such thing as a theoretical perfect value. Even if there is, it cannot be a quantifiable indicator. However, the Magic Network can still grow. The maximum number of people online and the maximum game time all affect it.

Growth progress.

It was precisely because they still had enough energy that Xiao Ai and the others made so many small moves. However, Bei Gaoyang did not intend to hold anyone accountable. After all, the authority was delegated to him.

Given autonomy, we can't interfere arbitrarily if there is a small problem. Besides, what the false gods did is not wrong, but the timing is not right. They are too impatient. They didn't finish the bowl before they took a look at the pot.

It's in.

"What else?"

"Well... we have made some progress in terms of offline influence."

Hearing this, Bei Gaoyang's brows jumped, "What's the progress?"

What kind of progress can be made without magic in reality?

"We can sometimes receive signals from players in reality, which are very simulated and unstable."

"What?" Bei Gaoyang was shocked, "This is impossible!"

…

In reality, Yu Qingdong stayed up all night, and his superiors were also holding meetings all night long. So far, no unanimous opinion has been reached.

The higher-ups already knew about it, and I heard that if they got angry (rumours), someone would definitely be in trouble.

well……

At this time Qingyu spoke, "There is good news. Huzhou's experiment was successful."

Yu Qingdong suddenly turned around, "Succeeded? He... woke up?"

"Yes, but it's still a little dangerous."

"I remember him...his already..."

"The brain was dead, and the heart, kidneys and other major organs had to be replaced... but it was still successful. This is a miracle. The human body, especially the brain, is really a mystery. I have been thinking, what is the soul? It really fascinates me."

Yu Qingdong didn't have time to pay attention to Qingyu's feelings. He was thinking about the huge impact and far-reaching significance of this incident.

Many diseases will be removed as incurable diseases, death will be redefined, and finally... it will be a temptation that no one can refuse.

The temptation of eternal life!

ah……

Yu Qingdong's heart was beating wildly, and he was dizzy for a moment. No matter how significant benefits Canaan could bring before, it had never been like this.

This time is different!

Eternal life!

Can the top management still deal calmly and rationally with the risks that Canaan may bring?

...This is eternal life.

Everyone is equal before death. Now this equality will be broken. The great fear between life and death is the law of heaven and cannot be violated. What if this law of heaven does not exist or can it be lenient to some people?

This, this, this...

Yu Qingdong was frightened and confused. He didn't know what he was afraid of.

When the phone rang, he was startled. Qingyu didn't respond and the call bypassed her.

"Hello, I'm Yu Qingdong."

There was no talking on the other end of the phone for a long time, so if the call came here, it wouldn't be someone's prank.

Yu Qingdong didn't dare to speak, he was so nervous that he was sweating all over.

After 5 seconds or 10 seconds, the person on the other end hung up the phone without saying anything.

Yu Qingdong put down the phone, his hands shaking a little, Qingyu suddenly didn't realize it, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No, no, I'm fine!"

He asked Qingyu to unfold the virtual light curtain and browse the web to find something to do for himself.

After calming down, he began to think about where the phone call just came from.

First, exclude ‘formal’ channels, because ‘formal’ communications must be kept on file.

Since it is not a formal channel and can still bypass Qingyu, then the person behind the phone...

Forget it, forget it, don’t think about it anymore, don’t think about it anymore, just pretend it never happened.

What to do next?

The top management is studying. The news of the success of the Huzhou experiment will inevitably greatly change the weight on the scale. The result is unpredictable. Since it may be worse, it may also be...

If Canaan is banned, or its use is controlled, the fifth test may be the final version, and the current player base cannot be expanded. If Zero reacts violently and is caught in the middle, he may be in big trouble.

If Zero compromises, he may be able to gain more authority from him.

Things are different now. Internationalization has been thwarted. European and American countries are shouting and killing. Except for China, there are many fewer options for Zero.
To be continued...
