"Xiao Yu, what's the matter?"

"Dong, Chairman, we have finally contacted you."

"Haha, I haven't contacted you for a long time. What's the matter? Is there something urgent?"

"Well, well, it's about the 7th test..."

"This is subject to what the central intelligence tells you. I have nothing to say here."

"Chairman, Central Intelligence has upgraded the authority of the American national server to a higher level. Do you know?"

"Is there such a thing? Let me see...heh, there is such a thing."

"Chairman, as a result, the organizational structure of Canaan Company will be messed up. Look..."

"Let it be chaos. I've passed the 7 test, and I don't have to worry about everything like before. Haven't you always talked about the degree of freedom? Then let the degree of freedom be higher."

"That's it...Okay, we get it."

"Is there anything else?"

"Yes, yes, yes, didn't the United States build a player city? We want to know what you think?"

"I don't have any opinion. I only care about online. Offline is your territory. I understand, haha..."

Yu Qingdong felt like he couldn't continue talking, but there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him from behind. Sweat broke out from his forehead, and his typing fingers were trembling.

This time, No. 0's attitude was obviously different from before, with indifference, distance, and evasion... Yu Qingdong felt that this golden elephant leg was moving away from him, and his importance and value were wavering.

Without the relationship with No. 0, he would not be able to sit in this position. It is not all about the interests of the public, but more about himself.

Under such pressure, he no longer cared about the 'script outline', "If we follow suit, what do you think...?"

This problem almost caused the people behind me to stop him.

"I don't object to it, but I don't encourage it either. You have to consider the pros and cons yourself."

"Yes, yes, yes, Chairman, you should know about the clustering effect of players, right?"

"Cluster effect?"

"If there are enough players in a certain area, some things online will appear offline, leading to a series of supernatural phenomena."

"Well...since you guys are so frank, I'll make it clear."

Yu Qingdong breathed a long sigh of relief and turned around to give the person behind him a calm look.

The conversation with Zero follows the outline, and Zero will just use clichés and excuses, saying "the official answer is diplomatic rhetoric". This is a pattern that no one wants to see.

Number Zero likes to listen to more direct words. Even if it is a little offensive, he will not care. On the contrary, it can bring him closer. Yu Qingdong has known this for a long time.

But the communication with him is so important. The 'script outline' was naturally reviewed again and again. After repeated review, it became the tone of the official model. With the sensitivity of Zero, of course, I don't have the patience to deal with this. You use the official

, I just used "diplomatic language" and ended this opportunity that I finally got in touch with in just a few words.

"What you call the player cluster effect is because of the various encounters players have online, which has led to a certain degree of... uh, evolution, evolution, do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand."

"I know you are very sensitive to these, but I think this kind of evolution is a good thing. I have told you this before, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"However, everything has two sides. This change in players will cause some Canaan things, which should be said to be 'programmed' things, to be brought back offline."

"Cheng, program?"

"Rules, laws, whatever you want to understand."

"Yes, yes, yes"

"The rules and laws of Canaan are mysterious. They are different from science. Sometimes they even stand on the opposite side of science. They are idealistic, do you understand?"

"Understood, Chairman."

"The afterimages of the rules that individual players bring to reality are neither stable nor insignificant. They may each have a certain degree of 'hallucination' or 'fever', which will cause some strange images to appear on them in a short period of time or

appear in the surrounding environment, but this cannot last forever unless you intervene artificially to concentrate them excessively and let the drops of water collect to form a small pond."

"Chairman, your description is so apt and it has solved my long-standing doubts."

Yu Qingdong finally seized the opportunity and delivered a flattering blow.

"hehe……"

Number Zero is really useful.

"You must have studied these thoroughly. I have said before that it is a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that it provides you with another choice, another path, which can even be combined with your original path.

, it will be more convenient for you to explore the truth, extend your life, transcend the greenhouse of the earth, and enter the infinite and vast universe."

"It is also a bad thing. It will impact your comfort zone and make you at a loss at first. Fear comes from the unknown. Normal people will be wary of unknown things, trends and signs that are beyond their control. This

It's understandable. But my suggestion is to be brave, have wisdom and courage, and look at it from a strategic height, with a long-term perspective."

"Yes, yes, you support this American model, right?"

"I didn't say anything. How you choose is up to you."

"I understand, I understand"

"Is there anything else?"

"When will the chairman come back? Everyone in the company is looking forward to your return."

"I won't come back, at least not in the near future."

"That's such a shame...and one more thing, Chairman."

"you say."

"Recently, the system has been emphasizing context, and the national server is also undergoing reforms. Do you have any specific instructions?"

"The context is not emphasized by the system, but by me... well, I'll just tell you what's going on."

"Well, well, thank you, Chairman."

Yu Qingdong completely turned into a well-behaved problem baby and tried to make this communication longer, even if he said some polite words of no value. This was his selfishness and public interest.

The more Zero says, the better.

I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities like this in the future.

"The reason why this context is important is the smoothness of the system's operation. Too many things that do not fit the Canaan context will interfere with the normal operation of the system, making the system confused and using a lot of resources to think and analyze. In the past, when there were few players

That’s it, there are more players now, and there will be more 7 betas. It’s time to shift from chasing quantity to demanding quality.”

"This quality is to allow every player and visitor to integrate into the narrative of Canaan and use Canaan's language and behavior patterns to play the game. I call it 'playing', playing the roles defined by themselves and the system, and following the offline

A certain degree of cutting.”

"Aren't you guys always talking about Second Life? This Second Life shouldn't have too many things from the First Life. It will be more real and have more of a game atmosphere."

"So that's what he thought about it. The chairman is really far-sighted!"

Only then did Yu Qingdong realize that he actually had the potential to be a sycophant. Such disgusting compliments were all said with "sincerity" and he didn't feel disgusting or ashamed at all.

What's wrong with me? Uh, why do you treat No. 0 like this every time... Is there a lower limit?

Just flatter it, and it was so low-level. I didn't think it at the time, but I couldn't bear to look at it afterwards.

"Haha, is there anything else?"

There are no more than three things.

After receiving the prompt to end the communication, Yu Qingdong said another disgusting, attentive and reluctant farewell. He waited until No. 0's avatar dimmed before closing the chat window.

Then the trouble came.

"Who allowed you to ask that kind of question without authorization? Who gave you the right? Do you know how dangerous it was at that time?"

"I, what's wrong with me?"

"You have surpassed my comrade. Do you still realize the seriousness of the situation? If something goes wrong, do you know how much responsibility you will bear?"

"But...the situation at that time...besides, I still have the right to adapt to the actual situation, right? Number Zero was very cold at that time, and kept using official words, so he became alienated."

"We would rather distance ourselves than the possible risks."

"What's the risk? Isn't this good?"

"Okay? Zero has expressed its views on the 'player clustering' effect. What should we do?"

"We, we..."

"If we do it, who will bear the risks and consequences, you? What will he think if we don't do it? Will the long speech make him feel worse?"

"But...but...but I think Number Zero is right. Risks and opportunities coexist. We already have a door and a secret area. If there is any uncontrollable harm, we would have discovered it long ago..."

"This is not a problem you need to consider. My comrade, do you really think you are the big boss of the umbrella company? You are floating and inflated."

"...What should we do?"

"What should I do? Let's wait for the superior's opinion."
