Chapter 1241 - Voice Transmission Gives Up On Resistance

Anyone could tell that IOI was using the rewards of other activities to supplement the rewards of the ‘Gods Fantasy’ event. However, why not take a double?

Thus, some gamers thought of such a method:

He would register an account in GOG first. That would be equivalent to giving up the reward of “IOI to GOG”. However, it did not matter. The reward was quite trashy to begin with.

Then, he would link his account to IOI’s old account in GOG. That would be judged by the system as’ losing old IOI players to GOG ‘. That was because the system would not make a comprehensive judgment of the account time and other data to analyze the players’ identity.

After all, the preparation time for this event was very short under the urging of Dayak Corporation and Long Yu Corporation. There was no time to make such complicated functions.

That way, IOI’s old gamers would be able to obtain all the rewards in IOI’s game. That would be double the happiness!

However, the only problem was that GOG’s new players had to be guided by newbies and played a few rounds. Their levels had to be improved before they could participate in various fancy activities.

This was not a design for the ‘Gods Fantasy’ event. Instead, it was a basic design that GOG had in the first place. It treated all activities equally.

In fact, most games had such rules. It was mainly to protect the gaming experience of new players so that they would not be able to come into contact with too many things and become confused during the newbie period.

Therefore, it was easy for gamers who already had GOG accounts to link directly with GOG accounts. On the other hand, IOI gamers who did not have GOG accounts could only register another account and play for a period of time before they could obtain these rewards.

Pei Qian was stunned.

He was even confused by the gamers’ manipulation!

Now, Pei Qian finally understood why GOG’s online statistics were repeatedly appearing despite the continuous flow of events.

That was because some IOI gamers had discovered this loophole. However, they did not have GOG’s account. Thus, they created new accounts at GOG!

“F*ck! What a lousy teammate!”

“How could gamers find loopholes in an event?”

Pei Qian was speechless. He felt like he was just one step away from putting his neck on the other party’s sword when two swordsmen exchanged blows. In the end, the other party suspected that there was a trap and dodged!

It was ridiculous!

After going crazy for a while, Pei Qian still picked up the coffee and took a sip to calm himself down.

“If we wait and see, things might not be completely hopeless.”

“After all, IOI’s gamers came to GOG to play because they wanted to receive IOI’s reward.”

“Once they finish the newbie content and successfully link their accounts to the reward, they should be able to return. It won’t take too long.”

“I hope that Long Yu Corporation can do something…”

Pei Qian did not have a good solution now. After all, Tengda was already on holiday. What’s more, this loophole had nothing to do with Tengda. Dayak Corporation and Long Yu Corporation had created it themselves.

He only hoped that they would find this loophole as soon as possible and repair it!

…

At the same time, Zhao Xuming had just rushed to Long Yu Corporation and entered the conference room.

Eric had already arrived. The other people in charge of the ‘Gods Fantasy’ event were also present.

Logically speaking, it was a legal holiday now. Any problems would basically be communicated and resolved through telephone meetings.

However, this matter was obviously not something that could be explained in a few words over the phone. Thus, he called the relevant person-in-charge for an emergency meeting.

Everyone basically had a grasp of the current situation before rushing to the meeting.

All in all, it was not optimistic!

It was hard to tell which gamer would be the first to discover this operation. However, a large number of IOI gamers already knew about this operation and had taken action.

This caused many IOI players to go to GOG for rewards.

From the looks of the current situation, this was only the beginning. The follow-up situation might be more serious.

After all, IOI gamers would be able to receive a new reward by registering an account at GOG. Why not?

IOI’s official platform might have given rewards through other activities but the rewards were not too much. Even if it was just a few more lucky draw chances, it would be very tempting for players!

What’s more, it was not just domestic servers. Similar situations were basically happening in other servers around the world.

It was not particularly serious from the statistics, but Dayak Corporation and Long Yu Corporation were already very wary of this event. Thus, they did not dare to be negligent.

They were afraid that Boss Pei had a back-up plan. Now, it seemed like there was indeed a trap!

Thus, this meeting was to urgently discuss countermeasures.

Obviously, Dayak Corporation’s headquarters and Finger Games’ headquarters were probably discussing or about to start.

Zhao Xuming looked at Eric and said indignantly, “Your hunch was right indeed. Boss Pei is sinister and cunning. He hid bad ideas in such a place. The people at the headquarters are too simple. They fell for his trap indeed!”

“Boss Pei’s suggestion seemed to have been thrown out casually after asking, but it was obviously a disguise!”

He would speak first and direct the blame to Boss Pei so that he would not cling to the blame.

In any case, if there was a problem, it must be because Boss Pei was sinister and cunning. It was definitely not because he was stupid.

Zhao Xuming had rich experience in shifting the blame. He subconsciously cleaned up after himself the moment he opened his mouth.

Eric nodded, and then shook his head slightly. “The direct reason is indeed Boss Pei’s suggestion.”

“However, what Boss Pei said actually makes sense. If we did not take his suggestion, we would have other problems.”

“I can only say that it’s hard to tell whether it’s real or fake!”

Thinking back, Dayak Corporation’s headquarters had made many very excessive suggestions. Boss Pei seemed to have accepted them all without thinking.

Eric was afraid that he would change his mind and let him watch it again.

In the end, Boss Pei casually made a small suggestion: considering that most of GOG’s gamers had registered with IOI accounts before, it seemed inappropriate for only new accounts to enjoy the benefits of the event. It should be expanded to all accounts.

This suggestion led to IOI gamers using loopholes to register GOG accounts and farm rewards!

What’s more, this event accurately locked onto IOI’s diehard fans, who had never played GOG before.

That was because gamers who had already played GOG had accounts. If they wanted to register a new account, they had to tie up a new cell phone number. It was relatively cumbersome.

On the other hand, it was relatively convenient for gamers who had not played GOG to register.

Thus, the group of IOI players with the strongest will also try to register GOG’s account and play the game. It could be said that a small crack had appeared on the solid dam.

The effect did not seem obvious, but the impact was very far-reaching and very targeted!

But then again, if he had not accepted this suggestion back then, it would have had a very serious impact.

Many gamers in GOG had played IOI before and registered for IOI accounts. If they did not follow Boss Pei’s advice and could only get rewards if they were new accounts, they could indeed prevent IOI gamers from doing this. However, the problem was that that would create huge difficulties for the traffic!

GOG players had wanted to participate in the event, but they realized that they could not use the old IOI account. They had to register a new account and create a new cell phone number…

Many players must have been so angry that they did not want the reward and could not be bothered to spend so much effort.

That way, the effect of the event would be greatly reduced.

Something was wrong!

Of course, if he could predict these two problems in advance, there would still be solutions. For example, he could create a specific program. He could assess the state of each account based on the length of the game and the recent online time. He could also adopt different measures against different accounts.

However, that would be too much work. It would be impossible to be released during the holidays.

What’s more, everyone had been a little muddle-headed in order to catch up. They had not thought so deeply and seriously about this matter.

That was how this awkward situation happened!

Eric’s attitude was very calm. He was not furious.

On one hand, it was because the blame was not on him. He was already a mouthpiece and a tool. There was nothing to be angry about. On the other hand, it was because he had a bad premonition and was mentally prepared.

“Let’s think about how to solve this problem,” Eric said.

There was a moment of silence in the conference room, and then everyone began to share their countermeasures.

Someone suggested, “Hurry up and develop a software to test the account and plug this loophole?”

However, this statement immediately attracted opposition.

“Definitely not! Firstly, this would definitely affect players who want to use this rule to profit and cause them to feel disgusted. Secondly, the working period would not allow it. After the development test was completed, more than half of the event had passed.”

It might be a loophole but it was a benign loophole that could be used by IOI players. What’s more, the official announcement did not say that they were not allowed to register new accounts at GOG.

At most, he could only be considered to have exploited a loophole. It was fundamentally different from cheating and maliciously using bugs.

Even if he apologized and compensated them to eliminate the impact to a certain extent, he would still be scolded. What’s more, he could not make an accurate estimate of the working period at the moment. Perhaps the event would be almost over after the update.

Someone else said, “How about… we ask Tengda to cooperate and do a screening…”

Eric immediately shook his head. “Impossible. First of all, the contract did not agree on these contents. Secondly, Tengda never worked overtime. They did not even make an exception when they were so anxious that they almost sold the building.”

The conference room fell into a temporary silence. Obviously, when they heard the words’ Tengda never works overtime ‘, they felt an inexplicable sour feeling.

Zhao Xuming thought for a moment and said, “This is really difficult because we will definitely not be able to make any adjustments to the content of the reward. On one hand, it is because of the existence of the contract. On the other hand, it is also because we will be scolded by players.”

“The only way is to screen and separate the players. However, we are back to the initial problem. There is not enough time for development.”

Eric nodded reluctantly.

That was really the case. This was a dead end!

It seemed like Boss Pei had blocked every path perfectly.

An unprecedented eight days long holiday was the right time;

The constraints of the agreement were geographical benefits;

Players’ mentality was naturally harmonious.

Initially, he had thought that both sides would compete using 30% of their strength. However, the results were uncertain.

However, now that IOI’s gamers had gone to GOG to play, GOG was no longer 30%. Instead, it had become 50%, 70%, or even more!

He could not control it!

Eric thought hard for a long time. In the end, he was relieved. “That’s it, then. Everyone, go home and rest.”

Zhao Xuming was stunned.

Huh? Pretend that nothing happened?

That wouldn’t be good!

Eric continued, “This is not something we can solve. I will report the relevant situation. I believe that the higher-ups at the headquarters will definitely give a suitable solution.”

Eric had something to say as well. I’m just a mouthpiece now. What do you want a mouthpiece to do?!

Have you ever seen a mouthpiece jump out to save the world?

What’s more, Eric’s problem was not entirely with his attitude. In the current situation, he really did not have the ability to solve this problem.

That was the situation. He was stuck. What could he do?

He could only let nature take its course.
