Chapter 1103 We Can Pay First

Yang Feifei is an ordinary white-collar worker.

Until a month ago, she had lived a very ordinary life.

Until one day, when she saw the blog post of the virtual reality system beta test qualification draw released by the official scarf of Xingkong Technology on the hot search list, she learned about the phantom system and this neural access system that is about to change the future of human society. virtual reality technology.

Although she has no interest in games, the concept of "the second world in the spiritual realm" mentioned by Xingkong Technology in the promotional poster still aroused her interest.

In the spirit of joining in the fun, she clicked forward.

And then……

When she realized that she had won the lottery, she had already become one of the 200 lucky ones out of 20 million and joined the team of Starry Sky Technology testing team.

To be honest, the first closed beta was pretty boring to say the least.

Leaving aside the empty and single scenes and fragmented pictures, it is a very boring thing to do in the virtual reality system that is already boring for her in life.

However, seeing that Xingkong Technology helped them arrange round-trip air tickets and five-star hotel accommodation for these off-site beta testers, she still participated in it with the mood of free travel, but she didn't have much interest in the phantom system. expect.

However, this idea only lasted for a week.

By the time of the second beta test, her inherent impression of the phantom system was completely overturned.

Or to put it more specifically, I was amazed.

The forest presented in front of the testers and players is as lifelike as it is alive. The breeze blowing through the ears and the halo passing through the gaps between the branches, everything is so realistic.

Not only that, the other beta testers were also standing in the same scene as her. Regardless of the background of the air crash in the setting, this is simply an outing through time and space.

At this moment, she finally realized deeply what the phrase "the second world in the spiritual realm" that Xingkong Technology put on the promotional poster was all about.

In a sense, they are literally creating the world.

At least, they have created a forest that is almost indistinguishable from reality!

If it can be scored, Yang Feifei feels that this time the beta test experience can be scored as a perfect score.

If it weren't for what happened later, this must have been a perfect gaming experience!

However, what happened later completely ruined her good mood.

A group of zombies with rotten faces or something like that rushed out from the edge of the woods. When she saw the group of monsters, she was completely frightened on the spot.

Especially when she saw that the neck of the first person killed in battle was bitten off, she fainted from fright and disconnected from the device.

When she angrily asked the researchers in the laboratory what was going on with those monsters, what she got was only a faltering, even perfunctory sentence, "There was a little accident in the experiment, and the reason is being investigated."

No matter what the reason was, when such a thing happened, it made her feel extremely bad.

And when you think about it in depth, these materials actually exist in the database of Xingkong Technology, which itself is a very scary thing to think about.

They originally planned to use these materials for the beta testers!

However, they did not fulfill their obligation to inform in advance!

After returning to the hotel, she immediately posted a scarf to complain about it.

To her surprise, she received a private message from a stranger less than ten minutes after she posted this Weibo, a little transparency with only a few hundred followers.

That person claimed to be a reporter, and left a WeChat message, saying that he wanted to chat with her about what happened during the closed test in the afternoon.

Although she was confused about how this so-called reporter found her, she still added that WeChat account because she wanted to find someone to talk to and vent her fear that had not yet calmed down.

Then, after the reporter briefly asked about the whole story, a WeChat call request came, and after she pressed accept, the following conversation took place.

"We'll give you a million dollars and just ask you to do one thing."

Seeing the straightforward and undisguised words, Yang Feifei, who was typing, froze for a moment, and asked subconsciously.

"What's up?"

The man who claimed to be a reporter smiled and said: "During the beta test, you were treated unfairly, right? We hope that what you do is simple, just sue Xingkong Technology to compensate you for your spiritual loss."

Looking at the profile picture on the WeChat phone, Yang Feifei looked like a fool.

"Sue Xingkong Technology? Are you kidding me?"

Although I felt uncomfortable during the closed test, but complaining about the scarf is still far from the level of suing.

She doesn't even have the slightest idea of ​​such a thing, and there is a high probability that she will come to the next closed beta.

The man shook his head and said with a smile.

"Of course not, I didn't ask you to win this lawsuit, or even lose the lawsuit, and it doesn't matter even if you are countersued. We will bear all the costs of the subsequent lawsuit. You just need to sell badly online and sue Xingkong Technology for nothing. Good companies, using living people to do unethical human experiments without safety guarantees, and testing their so-called virtual reality equipment that is not supervised... That's all I can think of for the time being, and it's up to you to play freely."

Hearing the man's words, Yang Feifei fell into silence.

To be honest, 1 million US dollars is very tempting, especially for a working-class white-collar worker, it is almost equivalent to a house in Shanghai.

As for losing the beta test qualification, she didn't care about it at all, after all, she was just a melon-eating crowd who participated in this project out of curiosity. What's more, if you have to choose between beta qualification and one million dollars, I'm afraid no one will give up the latter.

However, there is no free lunch in the world, and this money is not as easy to get as imagined.

What she is about to face is a large company with a valuation of hundreds of billions. Even if this company does things honestly and will not use those illegal means to retaliate against a small person like her, facing such a huge capital is also a risky thing. .

Struggling in her heart, Yang Feifei swallowed and asked in a trembling voice.

"...What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Is this important?" The man smiled and continued, "If you have to find a reason for our behavior to convince yourself, you can understand it as justice for those who cannot speak. After all, in tourism When a few zombies suddenly popped out, they ran like themselves with teeth and claws, this kind of experience might not be pleasant."

Yang Feifei: "The last question... who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, it's a business."

Yang Feifei asked fiercely: "I don't even know who you are, so why should I believe that you will pay?"

"So that's what you're worried about? Don't worry, it's easy to solve." There was a pleasant laugh on the other end of the phone, and after a pause, the man continued, "Give me your account, and note USD or RMB. "

"We can pay first."
