On October 13, the weather is hot, and it is destined to be a day that makes people unable to sleep well.

Time, afternoon.

In the office, Yang Fan had just woken up from a hot nap, rubbed his sore eyes, and kept cheering up and continuing to work. Perhaps because he just woke up and was not awake, he patted his head, poured a glass of cold water in front of the water dispenser, which cooled down and finally felt better.

Turning back to see the deserted office, I couldn't help but sigh: "It's really boring to have such a day."

Yang Fan is 25 years old this year. At the age when most people are still accomplishing nothing, he is already a member of the planning team of this game company called "Nower". He also holds two positions at the same time. One is a professional branch designer, and the other is a programmer who is extremely important for traditional online games. He is responsible for writing and maintaining most interactive templates in the game.

The title behind sounds decent, but in fact it is an IT migrant worker who listens to others and realizes programming according to other people's intentions. The most core part of the game in this era is the simulation of virtual reality technology. The people in charge of that area account for more than 80% of the entire planning group, and the branch where he works is only focused on the game content.

This year, the parent company launched a virtual reality game called "Rule". It is the most mature online game that uses virtual technology so far. Once the remains are released, there is no more game. The so-called national online game is worthy of its name. For this game, the group has invested 20 billion US dollars in research and development and operation, which can be said to be an unprecedented blockbuster in the history of online games.

Yang Fan was fortunate to participate and became a member of the "Rule" planning team to learn some inside information.

Among the major features of "Rule", the most prominent one is undoubtedly the increasingly mature virtual reality technology. Players participate in the game by wearing virtual helmets and connecting to the network consciously. The game experience can be simply fake and real! Based on this, combined with the most advanced artificial intelligence technology and network hardware in the world today, it was impossible for the existence of virtual life systems, adventure systems, universal service, no plug-ins, and low network latency in traditional online games in the past, all of which became reality.

It can be said that this is a game that subverts the concept of the game and is destined to create a new era of history. Since it created a historical record of 100 million players online at the same time on the public beta date half a year ago, everyone knows that it will unify the online game industry and become a real national online game. Sure enough, after it was officially launched, almost all players have been put into its arms.

However, these seem to have failed to change Yang Fan's life. After "The Relics" was launched, he still lived a monotonous life of two points and one line in the room, just like when he was involved in the research and development.

The department has been completely idle, and until two o'clock, few people have appeared. To the extent that a senior employee in the same department says, they have been completely destroyed by the cold palace. After the game development is completed and unprecedented success, the maintenance work does not require too many people. The vitality of "Rules" is showing an unprecedented momentum, and it is impossible for a new game to be launched in a short period of time.

The once busy planning department has become deserted.

Yang Fan yawned and looked bored at the data that was fed back by the operation department some time ago.

That is the average online number of people in "Rule", a very amazing data: 179.96 million people!

Seeing the success of "The Ruins", Yang Fan showed a satisfied smile on his lips. As a member of the planning department, even if he was just a small character, he was proud of himself. This is his affirmation of himself.

After paying attention to other things, he found that there were no bugs or other problems he needed to deal with, so he prepared to do a routine and wrote a report to explain the situation.

But when he raised his head again, he suddenly saw a strange figure appearing in the office.

Yang Fan thought he was dazzled, but when he looked closely, he was shocked.

I was not dazzled, but it was indeed a stranger, a girl. She was about ten years old and looked pretty pretty, but her behavior was a bit unbelievable. She sat in the position of the main planner and looked blatantly.

He was so brave. Can the computer planned by outsiders be able to be moved casually? Yang Fan stood up with some angriness and yelled: "Who are you? Stop it!"

"Ah!" The girl didn't expect that there was someone here and was stunned for a moment.

"You are not a member of here, why can you come in?" Yang Fan looked at her, wondering in his heart that such a beautiful girl actually learned to be a thief and steal company secrets.

The girl blinked her eyes, as if she was stunned by Yang Fan's words, but when she came to her senses, she laughed: "You are really meddling in business. Do you know who I am?"

"I don't care who you are, go out immediately, otherwise I will call the security guard." Yang Fan stepped forward and took a look. Fortunately, the screen was on the desktop and there was nothing sensitive.

Upon hearing this, the girl showed a disgusting expression on her face: "Catch the chicken feathers as an arrow! I tell you, I am also from Noor, can't I even take a look?"

Just kidding! Is it good to say that lies with a good level? This department and other departments are best. Not to mention the people of Noel Company, even if the boss of Noel comes, he should show his ID, indicate his identity, and then come in. But even the boss will not sit in front of his subordinates' computers so carelessly and read the information casually!

Yang Fan did not intend to give her a good look when it comes to suspicious characters of unknown origin. He snatched the mouse, turned off the monitor with a snap, and pulled out the phone on the table to the security department, asking them to send someone to deal with it.

It seems that the security department has really strengthened it. Everyone is put in, and it is becoming more and more dissatisfied. Yang Fan was secretly dissatisfied, but unexpectedly, the girl stared at him and her face suddenly turned pale after she made a call.

"You... call the security guard!" The girl screamed as if she was stepping on a mouse, looking at Yang Fan's god-pleasing prayer was full of disbelief: "What are you? You dare to care about me..."

The girl felt as if she was stepping on her feet and her face was blushing, sucking and scratching. After all, there was a difference between men and women, so Yang Fan couldn't do anything with her, so she had to retreat repeatedly, but unexpectedly, she was getting more and more aggressive and slapped her with a "pop".

"Damn, you actually hit me!" Yang Fan was greatly surprised. Unexpectedly, the girl's personality was so hot that she was so angry. Yang Fan returned it without thinking.

The slap was not heavy, and Yang Fan did not dare to hit me too hard, but the girl seemed to be stunned. After a while, she screamed and went completely: "You dare to hit me? OK, you will regret it!"

"I regret not fighting back!" Yang Fan said annoyedly.

He scolded the next door! The forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds! Who is this woman? It’s inexplicable!

Not long after, the security guard finally arrived and forced the girl who had completely fallen into a rampage because she was slapped. Only then did Yang Fan sit down with his scorching left face and scratches on his hands, and inhale "hissy".

"Damn, that girl is really savage."

Yang Fan was really wronged when he encountered such a strange thing for no reason and didn't know who he should complain to.

However, what he had never expected was that in less than half an hour later—

"Xiao Yang, come out." The department head with a serious face stood at the door and shouted seriously.

"Oh." Yang Fan put down the work at hand and stood up.

The number of online users of "Rule" has been so popular. As a staff member, Yang Fan is also proud of it, so he always pays attention to its situation. Recently, it has been updated to version 1.05, and next month, it will launch version 1.06: "Dungeon Secret Treasure", which will be a heavyweight update. In addition to the formal launch of the "Enhanced Demon Soul" system that the planner has carefully prepared for a long time, there are also major innovations in the virtual world environment. By then, the authenticity of the entire game will be increased from 80% to 99% of the perfect quality!

Don't underestimate the change in reality from 80% to 99%. The game experience brought to players is definitely a drastic change. The 1.01 version of "Dungeon Secret Treasure" will also officially launch an extremely important enhancement system in the game: strengthening the magic soul, including strengthening the character, skill enhancement and equipment enhancement.

"The Relics are going to be truly exciting. Can the number of online users exceed 200 million and become an immortal myth in the industry?"

Until he was called out by the supervisor, Yang Fan was still full of excitement and thought about the update on the first day of next month.

"Come with me."

"Hmm?" Yang Fan suddenly realized something was wrong at this time. Because the supervisor was never responsible for the specific affairs of the department, it was unlikely that he would have direct negotiations with him. What's more, if he had something to ask him for help, he just asked someone to notify him. Why should he come in person and call him?

Yang Fan looked at the supervisor's background strangely. But as a small employee, he had no right to speak at this time, so he had to secretly wonder and follow him to the office.

"Please sit." The supervisor pointed to the chair opposite.

"Thank you." Yang Fan frowned slightly and sat down.

Suddenly, he felt something was wrong in the office. He sat opposite the supervisor like this, as if he was just applying for a job at this company, sitting opposite the HR. The person in front of him decided to promote, derogate, reward and punishment for his workplace, which was very powerful.

Although his words were polite, they seemed like an unquestionable order, which made people unable to feel rebellious at all.

Yang Fan opened his mouth and suddenly felt a little thirsty in his throat, but he still didn't ask.

He didn't like this feeling, and he immediately had the urge to escape from the room. However, reason told him that this was inappropriate. No matter what the supervisor had to look for him, what should come would come.

He raised his head and looked at the supervisor, but saw the supervisor showing a thoughtful look.

"Xiao Yang, you have been in this department for three years, right?"

"Uh, it's been three and a half years." Yang Fan couldn't help but look at him in confusion without knowing what the supervisor was selling.

"Well. It's been three and a half years..." The supervisor nodded gently, his serious expression relaxed slightly, as if he was recalling the past.

"I remember when you joined the company, my job was in charge of your department. I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, three years have passed, and you have gone from a newcomer who just joined the company to an old employee who can take on important responsibilities. You used to be an assistant to Xiao Li, but now you are doing better than him and can stand alone."

It's evil, the taste of this conversation seems to be a little wrong.

Yang Fan suddenly had a bad premonition.

"In general, I personally admire you young people very much, especially Xiao Yang. Once your colleagues need help, they can help you enthusiastically and learn from it. You are young, solid and willing to work hard, and humble and studious. This is very promising. In any company, you are rushing to find talents... Not bad, really good."

Boss, don’t praise me. Why do I feel something wrong the more I listen to it? Yang Fan’s heart trembled again.

This conversation was indeed a bit strange. I didn’t say anything about it suddenly. I was still the boss-level department manager who was in charge of the name of the boss and called him to the office. After calling him to the office, he talked about the work or the company. He chatted like a family. He first recalled the past and then praised himself greatly.

But after saying so much, it was all polite words, without any substantive content, and seemed to be laying the groundwork for something.

The air conditioning in this room was a bit loud, and Yang Fan felt a chill, and he felt a very evil feeling. He finally couldn't hold back and spoke to break the deadlock and said, "I'm sorry, can I ask... Is there any transfer to my job?"

Upon hearing this, the supervisor's eyes flashed for a moment, and finally said earnestly: "Okay, Xiao Yang, since you asked about this, I'm not afraid to tell you. You are a very outstanding employee and have made many contributions to the company, but unfortunately, not everything will remain unchanged. Since the company will have a relatively important business structure adjustment in the near future, some personnel will be dismissed very regretfully..."

Yang Fan's breath suddenly became heavy and started, and was shocked by this sentence.

The supervisor continued: "You are the only one among these people who were named above. This makes it difficult for me to do, and I hope you can understand."

What!

"After saying so much, I'm going to fire me? Or call me above! What did I do wrong? Why did I do such a despicable thing and force me, an ordinary employee, away?" Yang Fan stood up suddenly and looked at the supervisor with a shocked face.

He finally understood! It was the company's decision to dismiss a certain person, but it was not announced through formal channels. Instead, it was like sneaking. The main supervisor called him here to talk nonsense, but it was the above decision!

But he was very unwilling and had only one question in his heart: where did he hit a wall?

After all, the supervisor is not a young man who is not very experienced in the world. He has long been used to such things. At this moment, the only sympathy and pity left in his eyes also turned into bitterness, and he shook his head gently.

At this moment, a man pushed the door and walked in, looking at Yang Fan with a little smug look. It turned out to be the girl who was taken away by the security guard not long ago!

"Hmph, boy, I said you will regret it."

Yang Fan's face became gloomy.

The supervisor coughed lightly and said, "Let me introduce it... This is Mr. Wang's daughter..."

I scolded the next door! So that's it!
Chapter completed!
