Volume 2: The Road to Dragon Feast Chapter 54: Strange Visitor
Game company! Murphy was surprised. He had expected this day to come, but when it finally came, he still felt a little uneasy.
Originally, he had no special feelings towards the Sky Technology Game Company. He was just amazed at their high-tech games and the ingenious design of the games.
However, ever since the incident with Morpheus, this game company has become more mysterious .
It was easy for him to think of the dark technological empires established by the evil villains in Hollywood science fiction movies, organizations that secretly developed some evil technology and carried out evil plans such as conspiracy to rule over humanity or destroy the world.
When he heard that someone was coming to visit him, he couldn't help but become alert.
But there was no way to avoid this matter. Murphy calmed down and said, "Of course."
A minute later, as the door opened, the investigator appeared in front of Murphy.
Seeing the investigator in front of him, Murphy suddenly felt that he seemed to be overthinking.
The man was about twenty years old and looked very young. He might have just graduated from college. He was wearing casual clothes, a white T-shirt, jeans, a jeep hat, and a pair of cool sunglasses.
In his hand was a greaseproof paper bag, with a half-eaten meat bun inside, which was emitting a mixed aroma of meat filling and green onions, making Mo Fei, who had just finished breakfast, feel inexplicably hungry again.
"Hello, are you Mr. Murphy?" the man said vaguely while chewing a meat bun.
"Yes, it's me."
"Wang Xuan, special investigator of Cang Qiong Technology." The man stretched out his hand. After the two shook hands, Wang Xuan walked straight in and sat down without waiting for Murphy to offer him a seat.
"Oh, your house is nice. I heard that you game anchors make a lot of money. I didn't believe it before, but now it seems to be true."
"Haha, it's okay." Mo Fei said modestly. Originally, he would feel offended by the other party's familiar behavior, but for some reason, every move of Wang Xuan gave people a very natural and familiar feeling, as if the two had known each other for a long time, which made him not angry at all.
"Brother, do you have anything to drink? This bun is a bit greasy, it would be better if it is carbonated."
"Yes, yes, yes." Murphy said as he took out a bottle of iced cola from the refrigerator and gave it to Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan didn't hesitate and unscrewed the lid and drank it in one gulp.
"Wow, it's really satisfying, thank you." He flicked the empty can with his hand, and it drew a beautiful arc and fell accurately into the trash can at the kitchen door.
Murphy looked sideways slightly, this move was really cool.
"Mr. Murphy must have understood my purpose."
"Well, I'm not sure, why exactly are you looking for me?"
"Don't be so nervous. Of course you know what I'm going to ask. I guess you must be very curious about what happened." Wang Xuan said, squinting his eyes mischievously.
"To be honest, you are not the first person to encounter this kind of thing. As you know, games are bound to have bugs and system loopholes. In addition, the game Sky World uses unprecedented cutting-edge technology. To be honest, we game developers cannot fully understand what will happen during the game.
That's why we need to understand the situation from you. In fact, there have been several similar incidents before, but yours is the most serious one.
As a technician, my job is to collect data and investigate relevant information so that we can fix the vulnerabilities and prevent more similar incidents from happening.
Of course, we will also take some action against those who discover game bugs but do not report them, or who use game bugs for malicious gain, so we hope that Mr. Murphy would not be so secretive and cooperate with us as much as possible to avoid any misunderstandings. "
What Wang Xuan said was ambiguous, but there was something hidden in his words, and there was a hint of threat.
Murphy nodded thoughtfully, thinking that it seemed like he couldn't avoid it today, so he might as well just say whatever he wanted to say.
He was planning to make a big splash in this game in the future, and offending the game officials was not a wise choice.
"Okay, what exactly do you want to know?"
"Then let's start from the beginning. When did you start dreaming about the black dragon named Morpheus? When did you start seeing it in real life? And how did it finally escape your control?"
As soon as the question was asked, Murphy knew that what the other party said was true. It seemed that this was not the first time this had happened, and the other party even knew the specific process clearly.
He no longer concealed the truth and recounted the story of how he had dreamed about Morpheus, how his emotions were affected, how he saw the phantom of Morpheus in reality, and how Morpheus finally gained his freedom.
Of course, the part about how he profited from using Morpheus was omitted. It is hard to say whether this can be considered as using game bugs to make illegal profits.
Wang Xuan listened very seriously, but his reaction made Murphy a little strange. He didn't show any worry, annoyance, or concern. When he heard that Murphys was finally free and declared that he would find out the truth, he even showed excitement.
"Ha, so that's how it is. It's so simple. I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!" Wang Xuan said as he paced back and forth, his excited expression as if he had discovered a new world.
Murphy couldn't help but feel alert.
"Ah, don't worry about it. Intelligent programs have always been a topic that I personally like. Now there has been a breakthrough, so I am a little excited. Don't worry about it."
"Morpheus is an intelligent program?" Murphy asked in surprise.
He did have similar speculations before, but later he always felt that things were not that simple. How could an intelligent program affect the real world, and how could it be possible for an ordinary person like him to have the strength to lift an adult with one hand?
This thing is definitely not that simple.
Hearing Wang Xuan say this, it felt like a reasonable explanation, but at the same time, it felt like the other party was obviously talking nonsense.
Wang Xuan looked at him with a half-smile, "Of course it's an intelligent program, what else could it be? Does Mr. Murphy have any other explanation?"
"Well, no."
"Haha, I think so." Wang Xuan said with a smile, "Don't underestimate the intelligent program. You know that the human brain is only developed by 10%. Our intelligent program can increase the development of the human brain and thus enable people to gain various strange abilities. Strength enhancement is just one of them."
Murphy was too tired to complain after hearing this. This must be a setting from some ridiculous sci-fi movie. Your nonsense is so perfunctory.
Wang Xuan seemed to not care whether Murphy believed it or not. "The information provided by Mr. Murphy is of great help to us. Anyway, thank you for your cooperation. As a small reward, we have already dealt with the troubles at Xingyao Company for you. You don't have to worry about them coming back to trouble you in the future."
Although he already knew about this, Murphy nodded and said, "Thank you very much - may I ask, will Murphys be found?"
Wang Xuan shook his head. "I'm afraid not. This game uses dynamic simulation technology. All NPCs and game mechanisms are automatically run by a system mother machine. We can only modify game parameters or add game data, but we cannot directly modify existing things in the game. Morpheus has already left the scope of the player's role and can only exist as an NPC character in the future."
The Invisible Mother! A name suddenly popped up in Murphy's mind. Could this system matrix be the Invisible Mother that Murphys mentioned?
But it's hard to say what Wang Xuan says since he talks a lot of nonsense.
"By the way, here is one of my business cards. If you encounter any troubles or abnormal situations in the game in the future, Mr. Murphy, you can contact me. If you can provide more information about game bugs and system loopholes, our company will also provide some special rewards to players."
Murphy took the business card and it read.
【Special Technical Consultant of Cangqiong Technology】
He originally thought that the other party was just an ordinary employee, but now it seems that it is not that simple.
Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Murphy hurriedly stood up to see him off. When he reached the door, Murphy finally couldn't help but gritted his teeth and asked, "Excuse me, is this game really just a game? There will be no danger if you continue to play it, right?"
Wang Xuan smiled mysteriously, "There is definitely no danger. As for whether the game is just a game... Do you want to know the ancient secret? Do you want to witness the real wonder?"
Murphy nodded hurriedly.
"Then let's look for it in the mysterious world of the sky!"
Wang Xuan's words stunned Mo Fei for a moment. It was not until the game cabin was delivered in the afternoon that he discovered speechlessly that those two sentences were actually the slogan printed on the game cabin.
