When he first received the call from his senior sister, Lu Zhou's heart was still full of confusion.

However, when he followed the advice of his senior sister and opened the scarf, and saw the private message that soared to 99+ and the number of Aite him, his heart suddenly became clear.

Sure enough, what he feared most came true.

With apprehension, he clicked on those comments of Aite.

Surprisingly, the vast majority of Aita people neither sprayed him nor praised him for his handsomeness as usual, but ......

[Lu Shen, that, is the phantom system really that realistic? (excited)】

[What kind of ability is bullying girls! ] You have the ability to come at me! (Anger) (Anger)】

[Hype! I've found out! Playing a game can still scare people into tears? I don't care, if I don't have the qualification for the closed beta, I won't believe it! It must be a please! 】

[When will it be launched, don't seal the test, okay?] Please. (crying)]

Lu Zhou: ???

How does this style of painting look like......

Something is wrong?

However, now is obviously not the time to pay attention to sand sculpture netizens.

Cut to the address book, Lu Zhou called the phone and senior sister back, and asked straight to the point as soon as he connected it.

"What the hell is going on?"

Chen Yushan was having a headache at the moment, pinching her eyebrows with her index finger and saying, "...... As you can see, there was some chaos in yesterday's closed beta. We've postponed our plans for the next closed beta for the time being...... Speaking of which, what the hell was going on with yesterday's closed beta? I've read the experiment plan from the Institute for Advanced Study, and it doesn't mention elements like monsters, gore, or fighting. ”

To be honest, Chen Yushan is still confused.

Before the start of yesterday's closed beta, she had personally seen the experiment report submitted by the planning department, which was clearly just a game with the theme of "survival in the wild".

As a result, who would have thought that as soon as the sky was dark, a group of monsters that did not meet the core values of XXXX actually rushed out of the forest, pressing the players to the ground and rubbing them, and they hadn't even hit the anti-harmony patch.

It's also a good thing that there are no minors among the beta blockers, otherwise they would be in more trouble.

After burying Xiao Ai in his heart, Lu Zhou coughed lightly a little embarrassed, and casually made up a reason to explain forcibly: "There was a little accident, you can understand it as a system bug or something." ”

Chen Yushan said speechlessly: "...... Are you fooling me? ”

What bugs can fix the game itself?

Is this something that can be fooled by a bug?

"The crux of the problem now is not this, in short, I can guarantee that such an accident will not happen again in the future," some things are getting darker and darker, and seeing that they can't be convinced, Lu Zhou simply didn't explain, and forcibly changed the topic, "The key now is how we can properly deal with the negative impact of the accident that has happened." ”

Chen Yushan said with a headache: "Our public relations department is already in action...... To be honest, I suspect that there are competitors behind the scenes, and we have carried out public relations for several large Internet companies in China, and most of them are more cooperative, but we have encountered obvious resistance when it comes to public relations for foreign media platforms. The media, which we have a good relationship with, have revealed that some people are paying to discredit the Phantom system and direct public opinion in a direction that is openly opposed to us. ”

As for the purpose, it is obvious that it is to prevent the promotion of the Phantom system overseas, and to "create" a factual argument for the hidden dangers of the virtual reality system.

Lu Zhou frowned and said, "Can you find out who it is?" ”

Chen Yushan shook her head: "It's difficult, not to mention that this kind of black PR won't reveal their employers at all, and the biggest possibility is that they themselves don't know who hired them." ”

Lu Zhou: "Do you have any good countermeasures?" ”

“…… At present, I have found the user who said that she wants to sue us, and in the case of a private agreement, I have suspended her from the closed beta and asked the legal department to prepare to respond to the lawsuit. ”

To be honest, in this situation, Chen Yushan is almost certain that this player was mostly bought by a competitor hiding in the shadows.

Otherwise, in the face of hundreds of thousands of yuan in settlement compensation, no ordinary person will choose to risk getting into trouble and fight an impossible lawsuit with a large company with a valuation of hundreds of billions.

Hearing what the senior sister said, Lu Zhou couldn't think of any good suggestions for a while.

It's fine for him to solve academic problems, but this kind of company operation is really beyond his ability.

After trying to think about it for a few seconds, he finally gave up on adding to the mess and simply threw the matter to her.

"It seems that you already have an idea, so I'll leave this matter to you. Say hello to me if you need help, best if you don't, haha. ”

Although it was expected that Lu Zhou would say such a thing, when she heard him say it, Chen Yushan couldn't help but roll her eyes and complain.

"If you get in trouble, you won't explain the reason, just throw it at me to help you wipe your ass. Stocks, very excessive, good, right? ”

So far, Star Technology has not responded to this matter, and a big reason is because even the researchers themselves can't figure out what happened to yesterday's closed beta.

“…… Okay, I'll tell you the truth," Lu Zhou sighed after about two seconds of silence and said in a serious tone, "...... In fact, on my side, a top-secret research project is underway. ”

In a sense, this is not lying, but just telling the truth in a way that can easily be misunderstood.

So when he said these words, although Lu Zhou felt that he was quite sorry for his senior sister, he didn't feel too much guilt.

Sometimes it's not a good thing to know too much.

Maybe one day in the future, when he feels that Xiao Ai has been raised by him to be safe enough, he will try to make it public.

But this day is definitely not now.

Although her intuition told Chen Yushan that this was most likely a lame excuse that this guy had come up with temporarily, she was still stunned for a moment when she heard Lu Zhou's matter-taking tone.

With a skeptical feeling, she asked in a suspicious tone, "Really?" ”

"Really," Lu Zhou continued, taking a deep breath, "The codename of the project is 'Lord God', and I can't tell you more about it, I hope you can understand." ”

Chen Yushan said with a strange expression: "Lord God...... What a strange name. ”

So strange that it seems that someone came up with it on the spur of the moment.

"The name is not the point," Lu Zhou said, "In short, this is a large-scale sociological experiment, which requires a group of players to make various behaviors and reactions through various scenarios to accumulate the materials needed for machine learning——"

"Stop! Stop for now, if it's confidential, you better not tell me. Pinching her eyebrows, Chen Yushan said with a little headache, "But this kind of thing with all due respect, it's not good to put it in the public closed beta, right?" ”

Lu Zhou sighed: "...... I've come to realize that we should have a separate professional, relatively closed testing team to distinguish it from an open closed beta, rather than putting two experiments together. ”

After a pause, he continued.

"So I decided to set up a separate project for the main god project in the Jinling Advanced Research Institute, and recruit a group of professional players who are reliable enough, have excellent psychological quality, and have certain special skills among the closed beta players to carry out this plan. I plan to name this team the Samsara Squad, and the number of people is required to be between 5 and 10 people, and I do not rule out that new teams will be added in the future. ”

Chen Yushan said suspiciously: "...... Although it feels like there are a lot of slots, I still believe that you are good. ”

With a dry cough to hide his embarrassment, Lu Zhou maintained a serious tone and continued.

“…… Thank you, and when the time comes, I will confess to you the details of this plan, as well as those details that are inconvenient to disclose right now. In short, the main god's plan and the reincarnation team are up to you! ”

There is a senior sister who comes out, and Lu Zhou believes that this little thing is naturally not a problem.

What's more, listening to her tone, it seems that she has already won the game, except for feeling troublesome, she doesn't take this matter too seriously.

So after hanging up the phone, Lu Zhou put the matter aside and returned to the office.

Looking at Lu Zhou coming from outside the door, Schultz stopped talking to Perelman and asked casually: "What happened?" ”

Lu Zhou waved his hand absently and said with a smile.

"Little thing, let's move on."
