……

On the major social networking platforms, because of the chat records from a few screenshots, the fact that the NPC in AOI was played by a real person was exposed all of a sudden, and it became a hot topic after a while. , All of a sudden, whether it is a player who has played this game or a player who has not played this game, immediately began to discuss this topic.

In the chat records that were intercepted, there was a conversation between an internal staff member who claimed to have left AOI not long ago and another passer-by who had never played AOI before.

At the beginning, the passer-by told the account claiming to be the former internal staff of AOI that he heard that AOI was very popular and the NPCs were very real, so he wanted to play and enter the game to have a look.

After the passer-by finished talking, the account that claimed to be a former AOI internal staff member replied without hesitation, because the NPCs are all played by real people, so of course they are real.

After the former AOI internal staff member finished speaking, he realized that he accidentally slipped the tongue, so he immediately added another sentence, telling passers-by not to say it to the outside world.

The NPCs in AOI are all played by real people. There has never been any news from the outside world, not even rumors, so passers-by don't believe it at all.

Not only do I not believe it, but I also feel that this person who claims to be an insider of the former AOI company is making up rumors.

Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, the former AOI staff immediately became more energetic, and immediately found a few photos of himself working in the AOI company, and sent them without hesitation.

So at this time, passers-by finally became dubious.

But because he was still half-believing, in order to verify, the passer-by took a screenshot of the chat record and uploaded it to a social networking site, wanting to verify the authenticity.

The passer-by just thought that with so many netizens on the Internet, there must be some insiders in the AOI company like the person he chatted with who claimed to be an insider of the former AOI company.

If someone inside the AOI company happens to see it, and if they happen to have free time, they might reply to the comments and confirm the news.

And later, just as he thought, not long after he sent these screenshots of the chat records, a few anonymous netizens came to comment, and what the former AOI staff member said was true. He is also a former internal staff member of the AOI company, who can prove the authenticity.

Although a few people commented that it can prove the authenticity, but because the tone of voice is too consistent and the painting style looks very similar to a trumpet, it is difficult for people to take it seriously, and it is even difficult to attract the attention of others.

It wasn't until the senior management in AOI saw the news and sent the lawyer's letter to the former internal staff without hesitation that the news finally became popular.

Because once AOI actually sends out a lawyer's letter, even if it refute the rumor in a decent manner later, as long as it sends out a lawyer's letter, it proves that this matter is absolutely true in all likelihood.

And not long after this lawyer's letter was sent out, probably because of the oppression by AOI's top management for a long time, some former AOI employees who had been away for a long time also suddenly broke out, not only proving the authenticity of this news, but also following the public , A wave of scolding AOI executives.

[Lou Yin: Ha, the lawyer's letter, it's ironic just looking at it.If those people hadn't signed the contract, they would have popped out a long time ago.As long as it is an internal staff, who doesn't know the truth of this news? 】

[My God: The top of the garbage, climb up for me. 】

[Su Mo: Laxative, the benefits of this company are good, and the salary is also good, except for the top management. 】

[Shanshan: Although thinking about you high-level people feels disgusting, but after thinking about it, the operations of capitalists are normal. 】

[Jam: I'm scolding you today :), squeeze the employees, hold meetings every day, hold NM meetings!I heard that their NPCs are going to write reports every month now, right?Hehe, it is indeed an operation that you can think of.Pooh! 】

……

These long-lost former AOI internal staff also jumped out together, confirmed the news, and raised the heat to the highest point. After it was no longer possible to use money to suppress the heat, the AOI executives felt The serious situation of this matter immediately called for a meeting with the public relations urgently.

The high-level executives called for an emergency meeting with the PR and made a decision.

Then, they immediately called all the staff and NPCs in the company, and held a meeting again and again.

Oh no.

It's the notification.

After the notification is complete, the NPCs who should go to work will continue to work, and the NPCs who should research the market will continue to research the market and write reports. Everything will continue as usual. If there are any major changes or events in the company in a few days, the company will naturally notify you separately.

But in the past few days, Song has not been online.

Because his computer is broken.

I don't know which key of the computer is touched, or which part of the case is touched. Although the computer can be turned on normally, but not long after it is turned on, the computer will immediately turn into a black screen.

Song Jing lived in the suburbs, a little far from the urban area, so it would take at least half a day to find a place to repair computers.

He thought, maybe after two days of delay, the computer would recover automatically, so he left the computer alone for two days.

After leaving the computer for about three or four days, he tried to turn it on again to see if the computer returned to normal.

But unfortunately... no.

So he had no choice but to go out with the keys in annoyance, find a place to repair the computer, and ask someone to come and repair it.

And at the same time.

After a few days of fermentation, public opinion on the Internet has evolved to the point where it is out of control.

Those employees who had left the company for a long time ran out to post one after another, accusing the company's top management of crimes.It would be fine if they just described things truthfully, but almost most of the resigned employees almost brought their personal emotions, and the description was very negative, and it was exaggerated by more than one or two points.

And because AOI has always been the best-selling No.1 in the holographic online game rankings, the company's monthly turnover has attracted the envy and envy of many colleagues, and they are very jealous, so they took this opportunity to buy a lot of sailors. Things played by real people, using exploitation as an excuse to discredit AOI, and then by the way, tout and promote their own game to expand the popularity of their game.

More than that.

There are also players who can accept that NPCs are real people, players who can't accept NPCs as real people, players who have always been dissatisfied with the game charging standards, and hardcore players who are not happy to see those smears...

All parties and factions are mingling online, and the popularity is getting higher and higher. Almost as soon as you open the social networking site, the homepage of the site is full of blog posts and discussions related to AOI.

Now to deny that the NPCs in AOI are not actually played by real people, obviously no one will believe it.

After seeing the current trend of public opinion on social networking sites, the senior management already knows this.

Therefore, the higher-ups were going to directly admit it and announce it.

However, the day before the decision was announced, they called all the employees again and held a general meeting.

It was the day after Song Jing had just found someone to fix the computer.

……

I haven't been online for a few days, and I don't care much about the things in the game, so Song Jing doesn't know anything about the public opinion on the Internet, and even only thinks about whether the computer is broken these days, will it have any negative effects on the game cabin? .

Therefore, when he arrived at the meeting the next day, found a place to sit down, and Li Mao sat beside him, and asked what you think the higher-ups would do, his eyes were suddenly blank, and he didn't know anything .

"?" Song Jing was puzzled and asked, "What?"

Seeing the puzzled look on his face, Li Mao was taken aback for a moment, and then asked in disbelief, "...you don't know anything, do you? There's such a buzz on the Internet."

"The computer is broken." Song Jing said concisely.

"..." Li Mao was silent, and then asked, "Didn't you check your phone?"

"Not much."

"Then what are you doing at home?"

"sleep."

Song actually answered decisively.

"..." Li Mao was silent and lost his voice.

the other side.

After all the real NPCs and staff arrived, the PR standing on the stage spoke slowly.

"Now the public opinion on the Internet has developed to the extent that it is not good for us."

The publicist said slowly, "Obviously, denying that the NPC is not played by a real person is useless, and the public will never believe it."

"So now we have decided to admit the facts."

"However, in order to save a little favorability in front of the players and the general public, as we said before, we decided to initiate a poll on the Internet, let the players select two NPCs, and then conduct a face-to-face live broadcast on the Internet, and then a -Answering the player's doubts and questions."

"Naturally, after exposure, our company will be responsible for the issue of personal safety."

"And it's not only responsible for the NPC who conducts the face-to-face live broadcast, but also for every employee present. Once someone dares to expose the address of an employee of the company online, or some former employees dare to disclose the address, we will immediately let the The police gave him a pair of silver handcuffs."

"In addition, for the sake of your own safety, even if you are recognized in front of your relatives or acquaintances, please deny your NPC identity."

"Especially challenging NPCs, and those NPCs who tortured players in major events."

When the publicist on the stage said this, all the employees in the audience couldn't help but began to protest softly.

After all, there are always people who don't like showing up.

Moreover, showing up is actually not a good thing, especially for those challenging NPCs of the combat system.

As long as it is recognized by players in real life, if it encounters extreme and unreasonable people, it is useless to deny that you are an NPC. What will happen then is unimaginable.

But for the fact that some real NPCs are reluctant to show up, the higher-ups have already expected it, so it is not surprising, and they have already made preparations.

"Although it is voted by the players and the NPCs are selected by the players for the face-to-face live broadcast, it is actually not compulsory to broadcast live in front of the players." The publicist said lightly, "If anyone is unwilling to show up for the live broadcast, they can notify in advance , we will remove it from the list."

"However, first of all, we have to make a statement in advance."

"The NPC selected by the player for face-to-face live broadcast, if it is a challenge NPC, there is no need to submit a research report this month, and this month's salary will be increased by [-]. If it is a task NPC, then this month's vacation will be an extra day, and the salary will also be increased by [-] .”

After the PR slowly finished talking about the salary increase and no need to submit reports this month, all the real NPCs who were protesting in the audience just now fell silent.

Not only did he lose his voice, but he even hoped that the players would vote and finally be able to choose themselves.

"That's all there is to be notified at the moment, everyone be mentally prepared."

The PR continued calmly, "If there are any NPCs who don't want to appear in the live broadcast, please send me a text message or WeChat message after the meeting. After receiving the message, I will remove your name from the list. The time limit is today Before 24 o'clock in the evening, there is no timeout."

After finishing speaking, the PR dismissed the meeting and turned to leave.

The PR turned and left, and all the NPCs followed suit.

Li Mao also got up from his seat along with the NPCs leaving one after another, preparing to leave.

Song Jing also got up and left, and Li Mao walked beside him, and put his shoulders skillfully.

"Who do you think it will be then?" Li Mao looked at the real NPCs walking in front and asked gossipingly.

"I don't know." Song Jing's expression lacked interest.

"Do you think it might be Chan Ruoxue? After all, her character in the game is so good-looking, there must be many men who want to choose her. And most importantly, she is also good-looking in real life."

"I don't know." Song Jing said with a wooden face, "Anyway, it can't be me."

When Li Mao heard this, he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Hey, it's not sure! Who can say for sure?" After Li Mao finished speaking, he laughed excitedly, "I don't know who it will be then, I'm really looking forward to it."

Song Jing still had a flat expression on his face.

Li Mao was talking to him, but he was thinking in his mind: I don't know if the game cabin can still be used normally when I go home later.

……

Night.

After the meeting, Song Jing returned home from the company. As soon as he got home, Song Jing immediately turned on the computer, and then clicked on the AOI login interface to test whether the game cabin could still be used normally.

But just as he thought... it really couldn't.

Gee.

Song Jing was upset.

so troublesome.

……

The next day.

The next day, after a few days of silence, AOI finally reappeared in front of the public, and then released two news.

The first message is a video.

In the video, the PR and planners sat side by side on a small sofa, and then humbly apologized to the players, explaining why the NPC was played by a real person, and why it has not been announced to the public.

The second message is a poll.

[AOI official: Three days later, we will conduct a live broadcast to answer all doubts and questions from players~(￣▽￣～)~
