The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 505: "The Disappearing President" (Please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket at the beginning of the month!)

When Superman is happy, he will do a lot of bad things, such as forging identities, making up facts, framing others, and shifting the blame to others. These things happen naturally without any instruction.

Even if there was no reward, he would secretly throw out some information to divert attention.

So when I saw the reward, my first reaction was:

"Is there such a good thing?"

Afterwards, they decisively delayed the release of the false news and urgently produced more intelligence to increase its credibility.

Then the reward will be claimed by friends who are studying abroad - of course, they are studying abroad in Izumo, not in the United States.

If you are studying in the United States, the risk of accepting this reward is a bit too high.

After receiving the reward, I didn't keep any of it for myself, but distributed it all to my good brothers who acted together with me. Only then was the matter over.

Of course, it was the end for him.

For American players, this has just begun!
If I don't take revenge, how can I survive in the city of Sprawling? !

American players quickly set up new bounties.

This time, the bounty is no longer proposed by the person who wants to offer it. Everyone will then calculate the total amount of the bounty.

Instead, it adopts the form of "crowdfunding donations" familiar to American netizens:

First set up a crowdfunding project, explain the causes and consequences and the purpose of crowdfunding, and call on netizens to donate.

This greatly improves convenience.

The reward amount is also rising!
In addition, the project founders did their best to incite the public, and even skillfully spent money on promotion and created hype online.

The reward amount for this project quickly exceeded the 20 US dollars mark and was quickly heading towards 50!

A large number of middle-aged and elderly netizens, as soon as they saw the real photos of the collapse of the Twin Towers in history and the Twin Towers being hit in the sprawling city, immediately became angry and paid money without hesitation.

Some old men and women even took out most of their monthly pension to vent their anger.

As for the specific contents of the reward, there are three main ones:

1. Anum’s real identity and geographical location in reality.

2. All game accounts and images of Anum in the virtual world.

3. Anum's heads in "Sail in the Blue Sea" and "Sprawling City".

Among the three bounties, the first one occupies the largest share.

——No matter how high the final crowdfunding reward amount is, whoever finds out Anum’s true identity can take half of it in one go!
The second and third items together only account for 20%.

As for the remaining 30%.

The project founder did not say it explicitly, but only hinted at it:
[The United States has a military base in Izumo, and I have a friend who serves there.]
In order to prove the truth of what he said, he also released a photo of an American soldier without showing his face.

The background of the photo is the Ryukyu military base!
This makes the entire bounty project more inflammatory several times more!
For a while, countless American netizens were ready to go, excitedly waiting for someone to uncover the identity of Anum.

Then the American soldiers brought justice from the sky and imposed iron-fisted sanctions on them!
Many people even left messages saying that they also wanted to buy plane tickets and join the "sanctions" journey!
This increasingly intense "revenge" atmosphere lasted for most of the day.

Until The New York Times suddenly released an explosive news -

The President Disappeared

In this article, the reporter reminds all American citizens:
“We may be experiencing a crisis!
His Excellency the President has not appeared in public or in the media for four consecutive days.

Even for four consecutive days, no description was posted on social media.

The last time His Excellency the President showed up was because DreamCreation publicly released its [Rejuvenation] technology, and His Excellency the President had a “dialogue” with DreamCreation’s founder Xu Meng across the air.

According to credible sources: The conversation ended with the president's medical team rushing into the White House.

In other words: Since the medical team entered the White House, the President has not been seen again.

In the past four days, the president has not released any news, signed any documents publicly, or released any new photos.

This makes us wonder: Is the 78-year-old President experiencing a serious health crisis?

Is the federal government experiencing a state of emergency?"
-

Most ordinary people don't keep an eye on their leaders' movements all the time.

The current yellow-haired president is a figure with explosive traffic, and every piece of news about him can be hotly discussed for several days in a row.

In just four days, ordinary people didn't even notice that the information about him had decreased.

Not to mention noticing his disappearance.

But media reporters are different.

News needs to be timely, and reporters are always keeping an eye on this huge news source. Therefore, four consecutive days of silence is too abnormal!

American netizens were reminded of this and quickly realized that something was wrong, although they realized it belatedly.

——This is much more serious than a provocation in the virtual world!

Not just American netizens, but media and netizens from all over the world have focused their attention on this, eager to know:
What is the current status of the Federal President?
Even Xu Meng on the other side of the earth is the same.

Xu Meng and Xiao Meng were hiding in the crowd, watching the players' movements in the central square.

Some people are using the large pieces of rock left after the statue was destroyed to re-carve it.

Xu Meng was very worried that these people would carve out something outrageous again, so he kept a close eye on them.

I was also stunned when I saw "The Disappearing President":
"Yeah, he's been so quiet these past few days."

"Xiao Meng, has he been online these days?"

Xiao Meng was holding a cup of milk tea and drinking it, with white milk foam on her upper lip.

After hearing the owner's question, he stuck out his little tongue to lick the milk foam on his mouth and searched for some data at the same time.

Before he even licked the milk foam clean, he got the answer: "He hasn't been online these days!"

"Is this... a number change?"

"Or is it for some other reason?"

After revealing Makodi’s identity, it is normal for him to want to change his number.

Xu Meng had no idea, so he just shook his head and said, "Forget it, it has nothing to do with us anyway."

……

……

Half an hour later, the incident became more and more serious.

The American Internet was in an uproar, and more and more people and broadcast vehicles began to appear outside the White House.

The president's team had to step outside the White House to respond to this question simply:

"The president is indeed unwell."

"But it's just a small problem!"

"The reason for his illness is too much workload - in order to make the country great again, the president works and thinks day and night, which takes a lot of toll on his body."

"But don't worry, the doctor has already told you: just rest for a few days and you'll be back in good spirits and ready to see you all again!"

Up to here, everything is normal.

But what was unusual was that an hour later, the White House suddenly issued a warning:
"Dream machines and [rejuvenation] technology are suspected to have major safety risks!"

"Please all dream machine users in the Federation, especially those using [Rejuvenation] technology, be vigilant."

"If not necessary, please suspend the use of the Dream Machine and wait for more detailed official announcements."
-

This warning came quite abruptly.

And it is easy to associate it with——

Could the federal president's sudden illness be related to the dream machine and [rejuvenation] technology?
For a moment, the restless Internet suddenly became quiet.

Currently, nearly 1 million people around the world use the Dream Machine, and more than 1000 million people use the [Rejuvenation] function.

If these two things have "major" safety hazards, what kind of terrible and catastrophic consequences will it cause?
Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle!
The online rate of players in the virtual world is declining rapidly!
——After all, it is the highest governing body of a superpower.

Even if there have been several previous misconducts, causing its credibility to continue to plummet and involving their own safety, netizens can't help but "better to believe it".

After all, if it was a lie, you wouldn't lose anything by playing a few hours less.

But if it is true, then a real danger can be avoided!

It is not difficult to judge which is more important.

……

In the central square, Xu Meng looked at the users who went offline and disappeared one by one, with a lot of question marks in his head:
"???"

"You're 78 years old! Is it weird to be sick?"

"You can put the blame on me?!"
