Chapter 889 The Past and Future of Paradise(1/2)
The underground space of Sala Palace.
Rumbling roars continued to come from the blood pool.
Along with the sounds of spells from the living corpses, Chu Qiguang's consciousness went deep into the void and was constantly exchanging information with the world on the other side of the void.
'It's exactly what I guessed in the past.'
"In addition to the earth, there are other worlds in this universe where martial arts and Taoism are not the mainstream."
'Paradise can develop virtual world technology, and their technological level is still higher than that of the earth in the past...'
Chu Qiguang read the information that was constantly emerging from the void, and thought to himself: 'One of the highest pursuits of capital is monopoly. When it can monopolize various materials, profits will continue to skyrocket.'
‘The virtual world seems to be free, but it is actually a monopoly within a monopoly.’
'The space, time and even every action of the user in the entire virtual world, every piece of flesh and blood are controlled by capital. This is a monopoly on the entire world...'
'If people from all over the world on this planet begin to live in the virtual world for a long time, get married, work, buy real estate in the virtual world... and even pay taxes to the park in the future, be controlled by the laws of the park, and use the currency of the park...
'
'That paradise actually becomes a new country, a country above all countries...'
'According to common sense, it is impossible for the government to tolerate such a monopoly by multinational companies. The next step should be the fight for virtual technology, right?'
'According to common sense, companies should not be able to win. Why did it develop into what it did?'
As historical information in the void continued to emerge, everything seemed to be just as Chu Qiguang imagined, and a conflict about the virtual world broke out.
Several major countries took action and jointly banned their own paradises, but they had different demands for the paradises.
Some require people in the park to abide by the laws of their country and require the park to hand over all data.
Some require the park to announce the technology of the virtual world.
Some require the government to participate in the management of the park.
Some also call for the park to be split.
Some people expressed support for these demands and believed that paradise should not be a place outside the law.
Some people also expressed opposition, believing that this infringed on their freedom to play and that the government had too much control.
The contradiction between the government and enterprises, the contradiction between people and people, a storm that swept the entire planet just came.
But as Chu Qiguang expected, once the major powers begin to target the park, even this super multinational group with the largest market value will not be able to resist the pressure for too long.
The huge conflict about paradise soon changed from government and business to country and country.
As each shareholder surrendered, Paradise has handed over all data and technical information.
But regarding how to deal with the paradise, countries are quarreling because of the uneven distribution of interests.
However, one thing will be confirmed, that is, the major powers will not cooperate to operate a virtual world covering the entire world.
Several powerful countries will each operate their own virtual worlds, and they must abide by the laws of each country in their virtual worlds.
To travel to the virtual world of other countries, you need to pass a visa, go through online customs and various inspections just like in reality.
In addition, information control, relevant laws, and financial systems in the virtual world are all being redefined.
This may still be a second world, but it will no longer be an unscrupulous game world.
Many people are happy to see this, but many people are sad to think that the truly free virtual world has disappeared.
But just when everyone felt that the overall situation was decided, a small thing that was originally insignificant, and that no one even cared about, changed the whole world again.
In the center of the paradise world at that time, in the huge virtual city called Yggdrasil.
A special ceremony is taking place.
With the theme of farewell, a director of the park invited dozens of senior players of the park to hold a farewell ceremony to the game.
During the ceremony, senior players lost consciousness one after another.
They were all found to be consciously dead afterwards, that is, there was no damage to their bodies, but their consciousness was completely dead.
As all the players participating in the ritual died one by one, it also represented the arrival of an absurd and terrifying large-scale miracle.
The chip became a dry eye that constantly sheds blood and tears, the memory grew into fingers that exuded strange purple colors, and the hard drive twisted into a ball of blood-red brain...
All the servers in the park have turned into flesh-like existences that constantly emit a fishy smell.
All the staff around the computer room were swallowed up instantly and were sucked into it with screams.
Then came the walls, roofs, and the ground... Each server devoured and corroded everything around it, and soon turned into ugly mountains of flesh and blood rooted in the ground.
On the other side, at this moment, all the park users had a ritual message in their minds.
As long as you follow the steps and perform the ceremony, you can enter the world of the paradise at any time. This process no longer requires any hardware support.
The world situation has undergone tremendous changes as a result.
After several failed attacks on the server and the loss of a large number of troops, the armies of various countries stopped trying to physically destroy the server.
Human beings seem to have to accept an objectively existing virtual world.
Entertainment, freedom, power, wealth... For different goals, various mixed forces began to use rituals to enter this second world.
…
The message from the void has come to an end for the time being, and Chu Qiguang still doesn't know how the world developed into what it is now.
But when he looked at the ceremony held in that paradise, he felt a little familiar.
'This ritual... is very similar to the ritual that Matt summoned me.'
‘Where in the world did this kind of ritual come from?’
'Matt held a ceremony in the virtual world. I originally thought it was a special case... But judging from this incident, does this ceremony still have to be held in the virtual world?'
'But no matter where this ritual comes from, judging from the results, the human beings in this world have summoned something that they cannot control at all.'
'I don't know if that thing is still there?'
Chu Qiguang tried to find more information and answers in the information emerging from the void, but there was too much information in the void and it was too dense.
A lot of messy and useless information was mixed in, and Chu Qiguang couldn't find the follow-up immediately.
'But judging from Matt's situation, the world ended up becoming some kind of giant harvesting machine.'
‘Collect knowledge and intelligence from various worlds for a certain force or a certain person.’
'People all over the world are being exploited inhumanely. Everyone is like a cog in a huge machine, gradually becoming numb in the day-to-day work and gradually losing hope in life...'
'This miserable world...'
'Leave it to me.'
At the same time, new news came from Matt, whom he controlled across the void.
…
Under Chu Qiguang's operation, Matt gradually emerged in the apartment.
He actively works overtime every day and never works more than 20 hours without sleeping.
He also participates in various social events after get off work every day. Through his excellent social skills and leadership, his colleagues have become good friends.
At work, he used creative plans to improve the efficiency of knowledge collection and also increased the salary level of the entire team.
Soon he became the new team leader and led other team members to continuously improve their performance in just a few months, becoming the top-performing game team on the 323rd floor. The income of other members of the team also increased.
Chu Qiguang himself even bought a nine-story building in his room, which is filled with game arcades, gyms, swimming pools, saunas... and other entertainment facilities.
A large number of residents entered the experience at his request, allowing him to gain a huge reputation on the 323rd floor.
Then Chu Qiguang started teaching classes, determined to spread the code of wealth and lead people to get rich together and move toward happiness.
While the wealth of the entire floor was completely drained, Chu Qiguang also redefined the workplace rules of the entire 323rd floor.
He disrupted and reorganized all game groups, and arranged new combinations and overtime systems based on everyone's abilities, further motivating employees.
He established new performance and bonuses within the group, required each team leader to report to team members every week, and provided free late-night snacks to students who worked overtime.
The group members are making more and more money, and more and more people are taking his courses.
He explains dreams, wolf nature, corporate culture and values to employees every day.
After leaving all kinds of precious spiritual wealth, Chu Qiguang rose to the 369th floor with an entire layer of wealth.
Residents on this floor have more value-added services, and can even get a clearer mind, more focused attention, and stronger physical strength to work overtime just by paying.
After Chu Qiguang got used to it for half a month and observed carefully, he gradually let out the news that he could purchase various value-added services at a cheap price.
At first the public didn't believe it.
However, after several users tried, they paid 20% off the price to Chu Qiguang and indeed received the value-added services presented to them by Chu Qiguang.
As a result, Chu Qiguang's reputation grew, and more and more users began to pay him, hoping to buy value-added products at a 20% discount.
Chu Qiguang took advantage of the situation and launched an activity of giving away 10,000 when you top up 10,000 yuan, and giving you 200,000 yuan when you top up 100,000 yuan.
In an instant, the whole floor became popular, and a large number of residents lined up to top up their money.
