Chapter 181 "Both" and Personal Heroes
Chen Qiang returned to the door of the restaurant.

[Chen Qiang’s stealth check was successful at 10/20]

Representatives from various organizations were still discussing the "Fortress of Reason" intensely, and they didn't notice that Chen Qiang came back so soon.

Chen Qiang made a "shut up" gesture to Yisi, and then silently listened to their discussion.

……

in the room.

"Game players all over the world are discussing game testing qualifications," Mrs. Megan said with a smile, "and they are quickly forming a group. In terms of gathering popularity, Mr. Chen's words are better than thousands of words of advertising."

She is very old, but her fingers are still dexterous. She operated the keyboard and mouse on the laptop and opened a forum page.

"'Fortress of Sanity' didn't even have an official website, but supporters spontaneously set up a forum." Mrs. Megan said.

"If the 'Fortress of Sanity' can't recruit programmers," Robin Selman joked, "your N network will just support it in the name of the British official."

Mrs. Megan glanced at Attorney Selman.After exposing his hobby of "sweeping mines", he seemed "relaxed" all over.

"Look at this Chinese forum." Mrs. Meghan ignored Lawyer Selman, "A considerable part of the 'Fortress of Sanity Fan Club' is a recruitment post for players from various regions of Huaguo to form groups with each other, and the two most replied There are posts, one is a petition post asking Mr. Chen to turn this private forum into a regular one, the other is a discussion post discussing the selection criteria for 'Fortress of Sanity', and the third is a handicap post discussing game types."

"'Since it is impossible to determine what the criteria for selecting targets for the Fortress of Sanity are, then the number of applications wins'," Mrs. Helena Blavatsky also leaned closer to the screen. "Unexpectedly, these people are quite thoughtful."

"But we don't have to do that," Erika Fujiwara said, "The best way to find out his reality is to participate in his games. As long as we ask, Mr. Chen will definitely agree. Yixian, you Is that so?"

Qin Yixian and his girlfriend met eyes - whether Chen Qiang was a friendly ISIS or an ISIS agent, there was no need for this level of defense.

[Qin Yixian's psychology test with a reward is 13/60 successful]

Qin Yixian couldn't be more familiar with Erika.She just wants to play games.

"I... I also agree." Qin Yixian said hesitantly.

"We will assist Mr. Chen in the investigation of Arkham," Mrs. Meghan said with a straight face, "but accepting his company to join us is another matter. So far, no organization has been able to 'Amphibious' between the secular. In exchange, his game must pass the review of all of us."

Everyone looked at each other.Qin Yixian really wanted to say, "According to my personal judgment, let alone whether Chen Qiang's 'game' is safe or not, it can become an important training item for us", but after thinking about it, he fell silent again.

A few days ago, Xiaoxue quietly stated that Chen Qiang has come up with a new game that is "more suitable for the public", and this time the public beta is also this game.To be honest, even Qin Yixian was a little uncertain.

In any case, you can't be the only one who suffers.How about letting these guys experience it for themselves?Of course, Erika's game has to be watched by herself.

"I'm fine," Robin Selman said quickly.

"I also agree." Mrs. Helena Blavatsky pondered for a while before closing her big book, "I don't quite understand video games, but everything in this universe is essentially the same. I believe I can understand it."

"Me, me, me!" Fujiwara Erika raised her hand again after expressing her opinion once, "Yixian, you have played with a virtual helmet before, but I haven't tried it yet!"

Mrs. Megan sighed.

"I'm old," the old lady said slowly, "I want to find a young agent to represent N Network for this kind of job."

Robin Selman has a sly twinkle in his eye.

"You don't have to be so humble," the lawyer encouraged. "Your ability to accept new things is better than many young people. In the virtual world, the elderly will have a younger and healthier body. Can Chen Qiang's technology be applied In the medical industry, you happen to experience it for yourself. If it is a safe and effective technology, British officials can also participate in the promotion of the technology."

Mrs. Megan hesitated for a few seconds.

"That makes sense. It's better for me to do it myself." She showed a relieved expression and was easily convinced.

And on the other side of the door...

"..."

[Chen Qiang succeeded in listening test 40/70]

Even though the door was tightly closed, Chen Qiang could still hear everyone's conversation clearly.

What about the "assessment"?

Where is the reserve of your mysterious organizations?

Chen Qiang complained in his heart.In the face of the versatility of virtual technology, no matter how experienced investigators are, it is difficult to keep calm.

It's almost time.

"Cough!" Chen Qiang coughed and pushed open the door.

All eyes were on him.

"You heard it all." Mrs. Helena Blavatsky said calmly.

"Ah, that's right."

[Chen Qiang succeeded in the psychology test 69/72]

Chen Qiang noticed that when everyone's attention shifted to the "game", the dark and turbulent atmosphere in the air faded a lot.

It should be said that all human beings have a playful heart?Or is it your luck?
"Now you... we have two options."

Chen Qiang quietly changed the address from "you" to "we" to show the closer relationship between the two parties.

"First, experience a level related to the 'mystery of real existence' just like Mr. Qin and the others before. I promise this time... there will be no such big risks."

Just choose a ready-made mod for them to play with.

"Second, join us in our latest playtest for the public release. This game is completely entertaining, and we'll have a spot for a few of you among 300 playtesters. Of course... in secret. Other players Your identities will not be known."

"We ask to enter early, is that okay?" Robin Selman's mentality is still younger than others.

"Well! It can be done technically," Chen Qiang said honestly, "but players will be assigned a unified identity when they enter, and players who 'log in early' will have an adverse effect on subsequent tests..."

"In this case," Mrs. Helena sipped her coffee leisurely, "the answer is obvious."

"Yes, I think so too."

"It's great that we agree." Erika Fujiwara seemed very happy.

"I think..." Robin Selman, who sensed something was wrong, opened his mouth, but it was too late.

The other three have already spoken at the same time.

"We ask to experience the same content as Xiao Qin. The content should be related to our work and the 'mystery of real existence'." (Mrs. Megan)

"I want to play that game that everyone is talking about online! Try it for a while first!" (Erika Fujiwara)
"I choose to have both." (Helena)
"..."

The scene was silent for half a second.

"We both want it!" (Mrs. Megan and Erika Fujiwara, speaking in unison)
"Well said." Chen Qiang smiled.

"Both"?
The hero investigators have the same opinion, and the doctrine of "needing both" is right!
"So tonight, let's do the first part."

……

The entrance of the hotel.

The owner and his wife were busy in the kitchen, when the knock on the front door sounded, the person who opened the door was Gao Yang Chengsan.

"You are……"

　The following small level was originally intended to be an adaptation of a famous short mod, but in the end, apart from the presentation (with certain controversial elements removed), the core of the story was a personal re-write.
