After playing outside for most of the day, all three of them were a little tired.
When Qiqi got home, she tried to log into the game, but it showed that the game was under maintenance...
"What the hell? Was the game ever maintained around this time in my previous life?"
Qiqi didn't know the answer, so she went out to ask Kurumi (Su Jiang).
Kurumi (Su Jiang) rolled her eyes helplessly. "Apart from the memories related to Esti, everything I know is the same as yours. How would I know if the game was being maintained or updated at this time in my past life?"
All right.
Just now, Qiqi was only surprised and wanted to ask a reliable person, without thinking about anything deeper.
Or rather, even if she knew that Kurumi (Su Jiang) didn't know, she still wanted to ask, meaning she wanted to discuss it with him.
Seeing that Kurumi (Su Jiang) didn't seem to care much about the topic and didn't want to discuss it, Qiqi had no choice but to give up.
I can only check online to see what's new in this game update.
"Hey, Su Xi, come out."
As soon as Qiqi entered the room, she heard Kurumi (Su Jiang) calling her.
Qiqi curiously stepped out of the room again.
Kurumi (Su Jiang) handed over her phone, which displayed a news video produced by a self-media platform.
"From 9:00 AM this morning until now, 4:30 PM, the number of domestic groups announcing their entry into 'Meta World' has exceeded one hundred! These include giants like Alidie, Tencent, Mihoyo..."
"If the entry of internet companies into Meta World this time is understandable, right? After all, Meta World contains a lot of advanced technology, and it is normal for these internet companies to want to get a share. But the companies that announced their entry next have left me scratching my head."
"The Cai Group, which started in real estate and has never ventured into the gaming industry, the Maotai Group, which sells soy sauce-flavored beverages, the Red Shell Group, which sells shoes, and other companies with absolutely no connection to gaming, have all announced their entry into 'Meta World.' What are you all doing? What benefit do you groups get from playing this game? Or do you all know something? Seeing this, I still feel a bit puzzled. 'Meta World' went from a restricted game to a game for everyone all of us. The world is changing too fast..."
As the editor continued to recount how outrageous this was, Kurumi (Su Jiang) remarked from the side, "Nothing like this ever happened in my past life~ It must have been caused by you, the butterfly, flapping your wings, hehe."
These groups made such announcements suddenly either because they knew something or because they were following suit.
Although the events that occurred within the Huaxia Military Region were kept very secret, they were not entirely unreported. At least, countries with spies within China knew the general dynamics of the Huaxia Military Region.
Domestic groups were slower to learn about it.
They may not know what the military region is doing, but that doesn't stop them from following suit.
Some groups that have no connection with the military region simply followed suit after seeing that these other groups had made similar announcements, hoping to ride the wave of popularity.
Qiqi guessed that this was probably the reason why this happened.
Kurumi (Su Jiang) crossed her arms with interest and continued, "With so many people logging in now, the excessive mental energy might cause Yuan Yi to evolve ahead of schedule, and the game's arrival in reality will probably be brought forward as well."
"It arrived ahead of schedule..."
After hearing this, Qiqi understood a little.
After all, the number of people logging into the game before, even with rapid growth, was only around 30 million.
But since the military region took action, the total number of players in the Meta World has increased by ten million in a short period of time!
As we all know, the number of active-duty military personnel in China is only around two million. The fact that the number of game players could increase by ten million in a short period of time shows how many people were affected by the military region's actions.
The price of virtual devices has now increased several times over.
There are even cases where there is a price but no market for them.
"It seems that the changes brought about this time are indeed significant."
Qiqi pondered.
At least she didn't expect that this virtual device, which was destined to be eliminated, would actually be given a second life before the game arrived. Although it looked like a rising sun industry, Su Xi knew that anyone who invested money in this industry now would go bankrupt in three months, barring any unforeseen circumstances.
Qiqi logged into the game forum, and the veteran players there were going crazy.
Overnight, his net worth increased several times over.
Many groups that announced their entry into the market are frantically recruiting veteran players. Those whose levels are in the same first tier as Cai Dao and Cai Ling are being offered annual salaries as high as one million.
Those who just enjoy playing games never imagined that playing games could lead to being sought after by these large corporations.
It's simply unimaginable.
As for Su, the Number One Player T1 had been trying to recruit, Mihoyo offered him an annual salary of 30 million, which shocked everyone present.
As for why Tencent and Alidie didn't contact Su, it's probably because they had official information that Su said she wouldn't join any organization, so they didn't bother.
As for Mihoyo's recruitment...
Qiqi didn't intend to pay any attention to it.
Beep beep beep—
A warning sound suddenly popped up on my phone.
This is a message alert that was set up before. Now that the phone is ringing with an alarm, it means that someone is searching for her information.
Qiqi immediately switched to the backend to check the packet capture information.
He's from the capital...
These guys found me in the citizen information database through facial recognition.
She wasn't surprised by this, since it was information she had deliberately omitted. She just hadn't expected them to only now be so determined to find her.
So, when will this group of people come to our door?
Qiqi watched their actions from behind the scenes out of curiosity.
After spying on them, they only listed Su Xi and Su Yu's citizen information as top-secret, and that was it.
Don't they want to come find me?
Qiqi thought to herself, somewhat puzzled.
He left an information loophole in his life, wanting to see how China would treat him, and then how he would respond. But it seems these people have no intention of bothering him.
"Strangeness..."
Qiqi returned to her room and temporarily switched into her Nymph Avatar, using advanced technology to search for information about herself within their system.
Having learned about [Su]'s true identity, they couldn't possibly remain inactive.
Soon, Su Xi found a document related to herself in the confidential document library.
The document includes numerous chat logs between the author and Yan Hu, the Mop God of War, and the Cleaver God of War, along with psychological analysis reports.
After reading Qiqi whole thing, it felt a bit far-fetched, yet somehow also plausible...
There is probably no real-world data to support this, so a final conclusion has not yet been reached.
I was just collecting and investigating information about [Su], probably to complete this report.
Is Huaxia planning to decide how to get along with me based on the final conclusions of the report?
Qiqi thought to herself.
