The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 112: Fate

"So, what's the reason this time?"

Xu Meng had already begun to wonder if the Konjac Game was secretly causing trouble again.

But this time it's not...

Xiaoqing at the front desk continued to whisper in Xu Meng's ear:
"They said they received a call from a citizen, saying that there were heavy gunshots coming from our company, which made them very scared, and they hoped that the police officers would come to check out the situation."

The girl leaned close to Xu Meng's ear and spoke, not because she was afraid of being heard by people around her.

It was simply because the noise was too loud.

The mechanical sounds of the simulator, the roar of tanks firing, the running footsteps and loud conversations of employees in the game, and the dense gunfire of simulated guns...

If you don't speak it close to my ear, I can't hear it clearly.

However, Chen Mengling, the little assistant standing behind Xu Meng, watched this scene with her eyelids twitching.

Fortunately, Xu Meng nodded immediately, quickly left the crowd to receive the visiting police officer, and ended the whisper.

The young assistant also quickly followed.

The so-called once born, the second time familiar.

Including this time, this is Xu Meng's third time dealing with police visits, and he has become very proficient at it.

Don't waste time talking when you meet someone. After saying hello, quickly explain what the other person cares about most:
"It's all a misunderstanding."

"Our company received a new batch of gaming hardware today, and everyone can't wait to test it out."

"One of these hardware is a [tank simulator] that can simulate the effect of a tank firing."

"It was just the first test today. We underestimated the noise when firing the cannon and accidentally startled others."

"But please rest assured that the equipment is absolutely safe and there is no danger at all. We will also debug the equipment based on the data obtained from this test to make it quieter and no longer affect the people and companies around it."

"You should probably check the real thing too, come with me."

First explain the reason, then ensure safety, and finally invite to see the real thing.

All in one go.

The effect is immediate——

The four policemen were a little nervous, but they relaxed immediately.

They followed Xu Meng to the war simulator placement area.

Seeing Xu Meng coming, the employees who were standing in a circle naturally made way for him.

So the four police officers were able to see the scene in the circle:
On five strange-looking large devices with heavy bases, four operating areas and thick gun barrels, groups of people wearing full-covering VR glasses were busy.

Someone was moving the shells back and forth to load them into the barrel, and when he was done he would shout "Loading completed!"
Someone craned his neck to look ahead, then turned his head to look left and right, and pushed and pulled the black operating lever in his hand with all his strength.

Someone was frantically turning a handwheel with one hand, creakingly pressing an operating lever with the other, and occasionally pulling a handle hard.

Some people sat on their chairs with their backs straight, holding a fake machine gun that could rotate 360 ​​degrees, and spinning around madly with gritted teeth.

There were also 10 other people holding guns and running and shooting on a strange circular treadmill. They were obviously exhausted and out of breath, but they were still unwilling to stop.

In front of all these devices, three screens, one large and two small, were showing fierce battle scenes.

The three young police officers slowly opened their mouths.

They did confirm that nothing dangerous happened in the company.

But they are a little worried about the mental state of these people now...

Faced with the company boss's expression of "How is it, is there any problem?", they were speechless for a moment.

Only the oldest policeman with more military experience watched this scene and wanted to ask Xu Meng:
"Are you really not training militia?"

But in the end he still endured it and only asked Xu Meng to control the volume as soon as possible, otherwise the noise pollution would be too great and affect the normal work and life of people around him.

Xu Meng agreed readily.

——Adjustments had to be made in the first place. Otherwise, once these tank simulators were turned on, the entire company would have trouble working.

Not just tank simulators, but gun simulators as well.

The testers connected headphones to the VR glasses and heard the same sounds in the game.

"Would you like to experience it yourself?" Xu Meng asked.

The three young policemen's eyes lit up and they became eager to take action.

But the old policeman shook his head and refused for them. Xu Meng nodded and turned around to see the four of them off.

When he sent him to the door, he discovered that there were not only two police cars outside, but also a large number of curious passers-by who came over to join in the fun.

Seeing Xu Meng appear, some passers-by even shouted in surprise:

"Xu Meng!!"

"Has Zhumeng moved here?"

"What are you doing in there? I heard the sound of cannons! Will the new version of "Frost and Snow Project" include cannons?"

"Where to add it? The big world or the treasure hunt in the Dragon Palace?"

"Is this a new way to play the Dragon Palace treasure hunt?"

……

His voice alerted other players hiding in the crowd, and they also began to ask questions.

Even asked about the grudge between him and the divine bird.

Xu Meng felt a headache after hearing this.

"Don't ask me. News about the game will come later in the preview. I can't say anything right now. Sorry."

"The voice in the company is testing the hardware. Sorry to disturb everyone. We will adjust it as soon as possible!"

"Don't gather here, everyone should go and do your own thing!"

……

He tried to persuade everyone to disperse.

But unfortunately, no matter how earnestly he tried to persuade them, the crowd was unwilling to disperse.

Fortunately, there were professionals here - four policemen began to evacuate the crowd.

Xu Meng turned around and went back to the company to avoid staying here and causing trouble.

At this time, he still thought that this was just a minor episode - just like the previous two contacts with the police, there would be no follow-up.

When he returned to the company, he found that the game situation of the employees on the omnidirectional treadmill had changed again:

They actually split into two teams and started fighting each other.

——[Online System Enhancement] is the last important update of the stable version.

The maximum number of people online at the same time has been upgraded from 4 to 8.

The purpose of the upgrade is simple: to allow for 4v4 battles like we do now.

But to be honest, when it comes to "counter-testing", [development version] is far more popular than [stable version].

Because the [Development Version] has added props such as [Wall Batter], [Climbing Claw], [Camouflage Clothing] and [Tripped Mine], the weapon types are also richer.

The fun and freedom are far beyond [the stable version].

The only problem is that the game is not very stable, with frequent bugs and even game crashes.

Xu Meng observed for a while and after making sure that there would not be any major problems, he asked several leaders to pay more attention, especially to the safety of the employees.

After that, he left with his assistant and went to have dinner with Engineer Li, who had been busy all day, and other engineers and workers.

……

While Xu Meng was eating, some other things were happening simultaneously -

Players who dispersed from the entrance of the Dream Building office building spread messages such as "New Dream Building", "Loud cannon sounds", and "Cannons may appear in the new version of "Frost and Snow Project"" on social networks, sparking small-scale discussions.
-
After the old policeman returned to the police station, after much deliberation, he decided to call his former squad leader, who is now the regimental combat staff officer.

After chatting about a few family topics, he recounted in detail in a casual tone what he saw during the police call today.
-
Zhang Yang did not leave the workshop all day, watching the engineers complete the production of the somatosensory synchronization suit ahead of schedule.

After listening to the engineers' evaluation and functional speculations about this body sensor, I canceled my original schedule, changed my flight ticket, and decided to fly directly to Ningzhou the next day!
