The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 447 Dare to mess with Xu Meng? Are you so brave? (Seeking monthly votes at the beginning of the month)

“To be happy, not exploitative?”

"What do you mean, there is exploitation in the sprawling city?"

"Is there any well-informed buddy who can explain what's going on?"

……

In the comment section of Xu Meng's post, players were discussing the matter.

Before Xu Meng posted the update, many people thought that these meteor showers were the prelude to another major event.

Still wondering: Is the frequency of major events too high?

After seeing this update, I realized that this was most likely not a major event, but Xu Meng was angry and was venting his anger by attacking a specific target.

But no one is sure who the target is.

——The workers affected are not clear about the reasons, and those who took the initiative to report it dare not show up.

The bosses whose offices were blown up by Xiao Meng's "Heavenly Punishment Meteor" are still confused and don't know what has happened.

However, this is a major event that affects hundreds of thousands of people, and it is impossible to hide it from everyone.

Soon, the email from the "Sprawling Metropolis City Management Council" was linked to the "Heavenly Punishment Meteorite".

Everyone began to slowly approach the truth:
"Most likely it was a black-hearted company that forced employees to work overtime in their dreams, working 24 hours a day, which angered Xu Meng."

"Then someone secretly reported it, and after Xu Meng and Xiao Meng got the news, they directly used a meteorite to clean up the mess?"

"Fuck, so many??? There must be hundreds of meteorites falling here, right?"

"More than that! I've been counting! It's already 584!"

"Zhao! So many??"

“I saw some people complaining online before, and I thought they were just a few unlucky people. But you told me there are so many black-hearted capitalists?”

……

Players looked at the offices destroyed by meteorites one by one - especially the office building in the West District that everyone thought was "uninhabited", which was intensively bombed!
It's almost to the extent of a meteorite washing the ground!
If we roughly estimate the number of people who have been ruthlessly exploited by unscrupulous capitalists, we will find that:

There are at least more than 200,000!

And, moreover!

It's still daytime!
Whether it’s because of time zones, to save on rent, or some other unknown factor, these companies choose to work in the city during the day.

But one thing is beyond doubt -

The number of people working overtime in Mansheng City during the day must be far fewer than at night!
There are hundreds of thousands of people here...

We simply cannot imagine how many people will be unable to sleep or have fun at night, being madly exploited by unscrupulous capitalists!

I’m afraid it will have to increase by more than ten times!
"Okay, okay, I'll pick a good spot now and watch the meteor shower with my girlfriend tonight."

"Meteor showers, good! Smashing capitalists, even better!"

"Bullshit! Those who were crushed to death were all cattle and horses! The capitalists were just playing around! Cattle and horses are really miserable, working overtime for 24 hours and still being crushed by meteorites."

"If I'm forced to work overtime 24 hours a day, I'd want to destroy the world! If a meteorite were to destroy me and the company together, I'd be so happy, okay?!"

"But with Boss Xu's smash, those unscrupulous companies shouldn't dare to continue at night, right?"

"Very likely! Even if you still want to arrange overtime, you'll probably have to stay out of the spotlight."

"They may also put pressure on employees and threaten them not to report..."

……

After roughly figuring out what was going on, the popularity of this matter began to soar wildly!
When it comes to fighting against workplace oppression, the vast majority of netizens are on the same side.

After all, no one likes to be exploited.

——Even workers who have a good working environment and good benefits now have to worry about how to change jobs in the future, and also think about whether they will be affected if the overall environment deteriorates...

We don’t have the ability to make dreams come true, so we can’t directly attack these companies.

But it is still possible to show support for this matter online.

……

In a short while, one keyword after another appeared on the hot search list with the heated discussion and support of a large number of workers.

It almost dominated the hot search list by dominating the list!

Under this torrent of public opinion, many "eyewitnesses" were also encouraged to bravely stand up and speak out at the risk of losing their jobs:
"Damn it, I didn't want to do this a long time ago, it's a pity that I didn't blow up the stupid boss!"

"It feels so good! I was half asleep at first, but when the meteorite came down, I was able to go straight off work. All overtime arrangements for tomorrow have also been cancelled."

“Although I was quite scared, it was worth it to see the stupid manager screaming!”

"I declare! As long as I work overtime in my dreams, Boss Xu can throw meteors at me at any time! If I complain, I'll be considered a grandson!"

"For the victory of the proletariat, fire at me at any time!"

……

Even Xu Meng had not expected that her anger and dissatisfaction in fighting against unscrupulous capitalists would cause such a big stir. A violent wave of thought surged on the Internet.

In the end, they even shouted the shocking slogan "Workers of the world, unite!"

Wu Shuang, who was staring at the research and development progress of the photon topology server array and had dark circles under her eyes that could not be covered up even with makeup, called Xu Meng and asked him what he wanted to do.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief after learning that Xu Meng simply wanted to "fight against workplace exploitation" and was not determined to take a one-size-fits-all approach to completely ban "working in dreams."

He also called on the public opinion control department to suppress their operation of [using the gossip of "the popular young star has an illegitimate child" to divert attention], and allowed this topic to continue to grow and develop on its own.

……

……

Meteorites are still falling one by one in the sprawling city.

However, as the voices of opposition on the Internet intensified, the frequency of falling meteorites dropped significantly.

By the afternoon, it had stopped falling at all.

Players and netizens were quite encouraged to see this change.

But this "victory" situation did not last forever.

At night, many opposing voices suddenly emerged on the Internet:

"It's so funny. Someone bought a dream machine and can use it however they want. Why are you in control of them?"

"Work 24 hours, earn 24 hours' wages! More work, more pay! Only hopeless lazy people complain."

"It's ridiculous. Speaking of capitalists, who is richer than Xu Meng? Why don't you attack him?"

"I'm telling you, we have tens of thousands of people working overtime 24 hours a day. If you have the guts, come find us and throw a meteor."

"So what if a meteor is thrown? Even without an office building, we can still make them work overtime!"

"The government doesn't care, so why would you, a businessman, care so much?"

"A bunch of fools flatter you, and you really think you are the emperor?"

……

There are so many voices of opposition.

Even a large part of them were directed at Xu Meng, saying that he was "arrogant", "meddlesome", and "takes himself too seriously"...

These voices surprised even netizens who are used to seeing the big storms on the Internet:
"No, man, do you know who you are teaming up with?"

"It's so funny. The law may not be able to do anything to you, but if you think Xu Meng can't do anything to you either, then I can only say - I wish you good luck."

"Pay attention, wait and kneel down to beg for mercy."

"Although we haven't seen the meteorite yet, I think we will soon."

"Meteorite? The computer case might start to smoke and the monitor might explode!"

"@Boss Xu, someone is provoking you!"

"Hahaha, come and see Boss Xu's rage!"

……

Netizens’ first reaction was not even to think that these people were hateful, but that they dared to exploit workers so unscrupulously.

But: What are these people thinking, how dare they mess with the super petty Xu Meng?
The office group of Dream Building Game Company became bustling with activity, and everyone was filled with indignation.

At the same time, I also think from the boss's perspective, how to sanction these people:
"Follow the IP address and find the person directly, and block him permanently?"

"I'm afraid it's not easy. I see that many IPs are from abroad. Either the person is overseas or has hidden his real IP."

“Indeed, and these IPs may not necessarily belong to unscrupulous bosses and exploited employees. They may all be IPs of Internet trolls, so blocking them is useless.”

"So what are these people after? If they can really avoid the boss's attack, wouldn't it be better to make a lot of money quietly? Why do they have to jump in and ask for a fight?"

……

While the employees were thinking about countermeasures, Xu Meng and Xiao Meng had traced the source of thousands of IP addresses.

Xu Meng was indeed very angry.

Xiao Meng was even angrier! Her cat ears stood up in anger!

He worked very hard to find clues.

Except for a few domestic Internet celebrities who are greedy for money and lack intelligence, the rest of these accounts that speak out are almost all water armies.

The IP addresses of the water army accounts are all disguised.

This certainly does not pose a problem for Xu Meng and Xiao Meng.

They easily peeled off the disguise and traced the source.

But after parsing the real address, even the knowledgeable Xu Meng was stunned on the spot:
“New Delhi and…Kolkata??”

"Indian???"
