Gao Linzhi's Shock-and the Changes to the Company System
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
The Barbarian Bull flew through the air, filled with both fear and rage.
What angered him was that all his practice on his account had been for nothing!
What's terrifying is that he feels less than a child in front of this person!
It was like a stone, wooden and dull, completely unresponsive.
Simply put, it's like a newcomer on a football field facing a football legend; they get beaten like a stick, and can't even keep up with the opponent even if they want to foul.
The onlookers in the distance were equally stunned!
"Impossible!"
Why is he so strong?
"A physical body flying into the air, is that still an ordinary person?"
"Players are truly incredible."
These are all local celebrities and tycoons.
"That's right, such an ordinary person was able to take people into the air."
"It seems these players have the power to influence the entire social structure."
"We need to immediately convene a meeting to conduct a simulation of how we should proceed."
These local tycoons, considered upper-middle class in the entire Blue Star world, are also the backbone of the company system, responsible for its management and operation.
They often come from well-educated families, passing on their knowledge from generation to generation, cultivating management elites.
Because management skills can be cultivated; it's nothing more than understanding human nature, calculating gains and losses, and being influenced by what one sees and hears. You can select the elite from dozens of children... But if you can't do math, you just can't do it.
Even if you have tens of thousands of Doll at once, you're not guaranteed to produce a single child with genius-level intelligence.
Several wealthy individuals were in a hurry, so they immediately took out their phones and summoned professionals online to conduct a work simulation.
Meanwhile, in the distance, Gao Linzhi also took to the sky, where he toyed with the Barbarian Bull.
To toy with your opponent like a ball.
So what if you're strong?
If you can't be down-to-earth, you can't fully exert your strength and will be at the mercy of others.
This is where the mage's power comes into play; he has his own built-in energy battery.
Isn't it good to be alive?
But instead, they came to provoke him?
When you have energy, you should release it appropriately in order to maintain mental health.
Meanwhile, a group of upper-middle-class people were nervously calculating the extent of his combat prowess.
The meeting was convened online, and there were many people involved.
Famous military experts, physicists, psychologists, social engineering experts, influential figures, etc...
These people all signed online confidentiality agreements before they were able to see the video.
After their initial shock, these people naturally didn't doubt that it was fake.
After all, they paid him real money to come.
At this moment, a physicist spoke first, "Based on the force the opponent just displayed, this person's physical strength is completely inconsistent with the strength that any carbon-based life form should have."
"He must possess other abilities, such as a bio-force field. Of course, this is something that only exists in science fiction, but now it's actually appearing in reality."
"Without a doubt, if his military prowess were unleashed to its fullest extent, he could easily destroy a city."
"Is it really that scary?" a prominent online influencer exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course it is. You only saw the explosive visuals, but you didn't notice that it would be impossible for carbon-based life forms to achieve such an effect. The other party must possess extraordinary power."
"The opponent can easily reach the speed of sound. In a city, what weapons can restrain a supersonic individual?" the physicist said.
At this point, a social engineering expert remarked, "The best weapon against tanks was initially tanks, and only later came airplanes."
"Now we can use this tactic as well, finding his kind to limit him and maintain a balance."
"Yes, he must be restricted and checked," the influential blogger nodded. "If we don't use Powerful measures to eliminate him, he could cause great chaos."
"That's right, he now has the power to destroy a city. Existing weapons are unlikely to be able to inflict significant damage on him unless Mutual Destruction," the physicist concluded.
"Yes, if we let him cause trouble in the city, it will take a considerable amount of time to deal with him, and you can imagine how many casualties we will suffer in the process."
"By the way, according to what you said, the other side also has what's called Revival Stone in the game, which makes it even more difficult."
"In short, the best course of action is appeasement, not extermination."
After everyone tried to deduce the possibilities, they kept shaking their heads.
The social engineering expert stated, "The emergence of such powerful individuals has had a tremendous impact on the order of our entire society."
"We need to restructure."
"The Great Law is born, and there are always those who can counter it."
"We must also follow this principle; first, we must categorize them by their power level."
"Just like the strength of companies in the real world, there are different strategies for dealing with large companies and small companies."
"Large companies should oppose its monopoly."
"Small companies need support and benefits to encourage them to create more jobs near people's homes."
"We can first divide these people into three levels: T0, T1, and T2."
"We can use T0 to suppress T1, and T1 to suppress T2. The key now is how to suppress T0."
Everyone nodded.
"There are ways to address this," a psychologist said. "First, we need to reason with them, explaining that a stable order will bring them the greatest benefit. We should use reason to persuade them."
"The second point is to align our interests with theirs."
"The number of T0 players is destined to be small. By offering them a small share of the benefits, we can use them to suppress the majority of restless T1 and T2 level players."
"Even if there are those T0s that have gone mad and become unrestrained, they can be countered by other T0s."
"In this way, even if someone causes some losses, the losses will be within an acceptable range."
"Yes, we can use a family-based approach to attract relevant players and offer them huge benefits. I believe you understand how to do it."
"Very good, very good."
Several local tycoons quickly recovered from their shock.
At this moment, the issue concerning the players has gradually expanded from the upper echelons and a small group of people to the middle and upper echelons.
These are all messages from small, isolated circles.
Outsiders wouldn't know how it works.
Now they understand what to do.
Nature is their forte.
As long as the players are still human, things are easy.
Giving away stocks, gold, or arranging marriages and having children... these are the best ways to bind interests together.
They shut down the online simulation meeting.
A small circle of wealthy individuals formed and secretly conducted their calculations.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Would these methods be effective against that top-ranked player who's Canxue?"
"With his immense power, does he still value having offspring?"
"According to my sources, he never shows his true identity."
"He's a Cao Cao- like figure, who never trusts anyone else."
"Yes, according to the information, the person we see in front of us is actually just a puppet, similar to a robot."
"So that's how it is. That bastard, why does he distrust us so much?"
"That's right, these damned lowly people have all become shrewd. It's all because information is so readily available these days."
"Yes, everyone should open their hearts."
"We have such good character and such a good reputation, why doesn't he trust us?"
"Sigh, maybe he was bullied when he was a child..."
Several wealthy people were there, discussing it with great regret.
At the same time.
Below the high platform.
Hai Zida was already watching with wide eyes.
Although he was a scholar and a genius, the ultimate goal of science is still for people to demand greater power from nature.
Just as the pinnacle of physics gave birth to the atomic bomb.
You should know that he was a bookworm since childhood and wasn't particularly strong.
I am often bullied.
When studying at an overseas company, teenagers idolize sports stars and athletes, not academic high-achievers like him.
Now, seeing the other person's formidable strength, his childhood regrets resurfaced, and he couldn't help but feel a longing.
He looked at Xu Gou and said, "Mr. Xu, I'll sign a contract with you."
This is self-evident.
Why would Gao Linzhi, who treated the employees of the Fifth Generation Company so badly, still sign a contract with them?
The conditions offered by both sides were roughly the same.
And so, Xu Gou successfully recruited a true genius.
True geniuses are very rare.
It takes millions of people and hundreds of years to randomly find one.
Wang Wenzhou, chairman of the Fifth Generation Company, witnessed this scene unfold right before his eyes.
He was furious.
For many years, no one has ever been so disrespectful to themselves!
If you're going to sign a contract, at least find a different location!
However, he was not a mindless bystander.
He waited until Gao Linzhi and the others left before he roared angrily at the Barbarian Bull lying on the ground:
"Damn it, they're completely ignoring me!"
"And didn't you say you were really good? Why couldn't you beat him?"
"I'm sorry, it's mainly because the company hasn't given me enough resources, otherwise I could have easily beaten him." Although Barbarian Bull was strong, he was quick-witted and immediately started shifting the blame.
"Really? From now on, I'll double your resources. I hope you can surpass him!" Wang Wenzhou said bluntly.
"Me? Okay." The Barbarian Bull replied helplessly.
He now completely understands why the other person is number one.
The strength of the top-ranked player is completely beyond my current capabilities.
It's fair to say that while he was still exploring the early stages of the game, his opponent, relying on their Pay-to-Win Talent, had already reached the late-game content!
Paying real money is essentially helping top-tier online game players cheat and accelerate their game progress.
He initially thought that the opponent's Level Lock would negatively impact their actual combat strength, but he didn't expect that the opponent's spending money on in-game purchases would completely compensate for this.
It's infuriating, why does someone possess such talent?
His own talent, being "as strong as an ox," is already quite remarkable.
This talent allows him to gain a little more constitution with each level up.
I asked some experienced players, and apparently there are ways to upgrade talents.
Later, maybe by adding three or five points, he'll take off.
In the early game, this talent is also particularly useful.
Because of this talent, he didn't specifically increase his physique, but instead saved his Free Attribute Points for the future.
It now seems that this approach won't work.
We have no choice but to give up on its future potential.
Now, he has no choice but to lie to his boss in order to obtain more resources.
After all, they might as well fool someone once; if things go wrong, they can always run away to another place.
Anyway, he has the ability and is willing to marry into a powerful family to have children. There are plenty of people who want him, and he can still make a living.
A useful lackey like him is welcomed by many aristocratic families.
The powerful families hate loners like Gao Linzhi the most; they're too difficult to control.
The Barbarian Bull didn't care about these things.
It's just kneeling, isn't it?
That's normal; what cow doesn't kneel down?
He had long forgotten that real cattle and horses don't kneel.
At the same time.
Gao Linzhi and Xu Gou have already brought the genius Hai Zida by plane to Xu City.
Something else happened on the plane.
That means one of the players has gone mad.
"Hahaha, my skill hit!"
"I am the strongest now!"
"I can fly, everyone listen up, it's so hot right now!!"
After saying that, he demonstrated his ability to disassemble an airplane seat with his bare hands.
After removing the seats, he even jumped up and dismantled the airplane's ceiling...
"I'm going to ride in an open-top plane now, hahaha!"
That's absolutely outrageous.
Gao Linzhi was speechless.
He had to say that the company's strict control over players did not mean they were intentionally doing bad things.
Their fundamental goal is to maintain order, but the methods they use in the process are exceptionally evil.
This outburst from the player immediately terrified the passengers.
"I'm open to anything, but please let the plane land safely."
"Yes, you wouldn't want the plane to break down halfway through the flight, would you?"
Several flight attendants tried to persuade him, but he pushed them to the ground.
Gao Linzhi did not move.
Hai Zida was initially worried, but seeing that Gao Linzhi didn't make any move, he immediately felt relieved.
It's just flying, isn't it?
The person next to me can also fly, and can even make others fly.
Xu Gou then stepped forward.
He grabbed the other person's outstretched hand with one hand and slapped them twice across the face with the other!
What did you get?
"What do you mean 'strongest'? You're nothing but a nobody!"
Two hard slaps finally brought the other person to their senses.
He opened his eyes and saw the mess on the ground, and was immediately filled with fear.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what happened!"
"It must be something strange, something strange has corrupted me!" He immediately found someone to blame.
"Something strange has appeared in the game!"
"They're coming!"
The crazed player was talking wildly.
The passengers listened, dumbfounded and utterly bewildered.
Is this terrifying creature from a game?
And what's strange about that?
Are they actually living in the city? Why do they feel like they've stepped into those terrifying scenarios?
For example, Death God Destination?
These people were terrified.
Thankfully, the plane landed safely.
The pilot was highly skilled and managed to land the plane successfully under these circumstances.
The player was then taken away by the local company's security department after disembarking from the plane.
Next came the handover to the United Association.
How to deal with players is also a new topic.
Gao Linzhi didn't care about this.
He only needs to focus on his own affairs and his path to Immortality.
That very evening, Hai Zida couldn't wait to become a player and enter Wolf Snake Island.
Unlike Gao Linzhi, who was being hunted down, he was immediately escorted into the game's Safe Zone, the village ancestral hall.
In fact, the entire village and its surrounding area are considered Safe Zone by default.
Because there are a large number of puppet soldiers patrolling.
It could have been expanded to the entire island, but there were just too many wild monsters to keep them all out, so we could only maintain security along the trade routes.
Upon arriving at the underground laboratory of the ancestral hall, Hai Zida, this genius, was deeply impressed.
Here, he saw all kinds of top-notch laboratory equipment.
Many of them are very expensive, and even with his reputation, there's a waiting list to use them.
No priority is given to its use.
