Who would still start a business seriously after being reborn?

Chapter 476 The devil is one foot taller than the saint.

The young man with the afro re-entered the game, and his character had returned to Tu City.

Upon returning to Tucheng, he felt that the world was somewhat magical.

He witnessed a level 25 warrior kill a level 45 warrior at the entrance of the pharmacy with an invincible, whirlwind-like attack, and then saw a Taoist priest use a torrent of talismans to kill a Soul Devouring Mage at his feet.

"This..." The young man with the afro rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had encountered something unclean.

He even doubted himself, but no problem had occurred with the game.

The young man with the afro glanced at the machine next to him subconsciously. After watching the screen, he became even more convinced that he was mentally deranged.

The guy next to him was playing Counter-Strike. This guy's arm suddenly grew to be dozens of meters long, reaching from one side to the other, and even making a turn in the middle, before stabbing his opponent to death with a knife.

So magical.

"Hey manager, is there something wrong with this machine? My opponent in the game can fly!" another customer shouted.

"The fact that it can fly is a problem with the game, what does it have to do with my computer?" the internet cafe manager retorted.

A customer at the internet cafe angrily exclaimed, "This is supposed to be a martial arts game, but it's turned into a cultivation game!"

"Go ask the game company. My computer can't be used for cultivation." The internet cafe manager said irritably.

Inside the internet cafe, complaints rose and fell.

Apart from the game "Primordial Era" which was relatively normal, all the other games encountered problems to varying degrees.

Farming for money, farming stats, farming attack speed, farming various special effects, farming flying and teleporting...

The entire gaming industry is in chaos, causing widespread discontent among players and leaving game companies feeling extremely uneasy.

"President Cheng, there's a problem with our Legend game. We've detected a lot of players using speed hacks." In the afternoon, Cheng Yi, who was debugging the system with Yu Sen and the others, received a call from the director of Shengda's operations department.

"Do you need to ask me for permission for this? Just issue an announcement and ban the accounts, right?" Cheng Yi frowned and said, "For a game like Legend, you can't completely eliminate cheating. You can only start from the perspective of deterrence."

"But, but too many people are using it." The operations director said in a trembling voice, "Huajun Software Network has been listed with a software called 3721 Online Game Modifier. Although this software is free, it is very powerful. Once it is turned on, it can block our data packets. Our Legend game is okay, only the speed gear can be effective. Many other games can even be modified to obtain equipment and attributes."

"Oh?" Upon hearing the operations director's words, Cheng Yi finally took the issue seriously.

He originally thought this was just something a few tech enthusiasts came up with for fun, but he never expected it to be made into software and uploaded to the internet.

Isn't this a lose-lose situation?
If it's understandable that the creator is after money, why would he upload it for free?
"Let me check first, I'll call you back in a bit," Cheng Yi replied, and hung up the phone.

"What happened?" Yu Sen asked with concern when he saw that Cheng Yi's expression was not good.

Cheng Yi said, "Damn it, this year is really a troublesome year. Someone released a free cheat to Hua Jun, making the gaming industry a mess."

Yu Sen said, "A free cheat? What's this guy after?"

“Yes, I’ve been thinking about this too,” Cheng Yi said. “It’s purely a lose-lose situation.”

Yu Sen said, "Our Momo system should be fine. Our system prohibits the installation of unknown software."

“That’s right.” Cheng Yi’s eyes lit up. “So that means this cheat can only be used on Windows?”

Yu Sen looked at Cheng Yi with a strange expression and said, "You had someone do this, didn't you?"

"Teacher Yu, this is slander!" Cheng Yi exclaimed in surprise. "You can't just say things like that, it will incite public outrage. Besides, you know me well, how could I possibly do such a thing?"

"You don't know?" Yu Sen sneered. "Then explain to me why there's an unknown software on the servers in this server room."

"You found out?" Cheng Yi smiled a little embarrassedly.

“I check the files on the server system every day. I found out the day after you had Lin Qingyin install it.” Yu Sen sneered, “You’re really bold to install monitoring software on the server.”

"I'm just worried they'll renege on their debts," Cheng Yi chuckled. "Like when Shengda Group launched Bubble Fighter on our platform, I monitored how they used the in-game redemption system to avoid paying over ten million yuan in game card fees."

"Hmph, what I admire most about you is your thick skin. You won't admit it unless I throw the evidence in your face." Yu Sen glared at Cheng Yi and said, "So, you also had Lin Qingyin make this 3721 online game modifier?"

“That’s absolutely not it,” Cheng Yi quickly said. “I don’t even know what this software looks like. Besides, we’re currently debugging the internet cafe version of the Momo system. How could I possibly have…”

It would have been better if he hadn't said those words. As soon as he did, even Cheng Yi realized that the software was related to him.

How could it be such a coincidence?

He had barely conceived the idea of ​​promoting the Momo system when someone offered him such a powerful boost.

Could Lin Qingyin have done this secretly?
No, this girl doesn't have that kind of cunning.

Who would that be?
Cheng Yi looked at Yu Sen with a strange expression and laughed, "Teacher Yu, are you trying to be like Lei Feng, doing good deeds anonymously?"

"Learn my ass! You don't actually think I made this, do you?" Yu Sen immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "How could I do something so despicable?"

"Why don't you two draw lots? Whoever draws the winning lot gets to keep it," Li Tao said slowly from the side. "Anyway, there's no way a third person will do this."

"Li Tao, we've known each other for decades, do you think I'm that kind of person?" Yu Sen said, getting agitated.

While modifying the code, Li Tao calmly said, "If we hadn't known each other for decades, I wouldn't have said that."

“You’ve really let down all these years of our friendship,” Yu Sen sighed and said, “But this software was definitely not written by me.”

“It wasn’t me either.” Cheng Yi quickly followed.

Li Tao said, "That's easy, I'll just find a Windows computer, download it, and take a look."

"Yes, let's find out who framed us." Cheng Yi nodded quickly.

Li Tao is very proficient in program architecture. Many people's programming habits are traceable, just like their catchphrases and lifestyle habits.

For example, Yu Sen is from Shandong Province, so his programs will unconsciously have some inverted sentence structure.

Li Tao turned on a Windows computer, logged into Hua Jun, and downloaded the software called 3721 Online Game Modifier.

After downloading a new software, Hua Jun also bundled three unrelated programs with it, which greatly angered Li Tao. He said, "If this software really wasn't downloaded by you, we might as well just shut down this website." "No way," Yu Sen immediately said, "We're legitimate programmers, how can we do such a thing?"

“Yes, attacking websites is really unethical,” Cheng Yi also refused.

Li Tao gave Yu Sen and Cheng Yi a strange look, and the more he looked, the more he felt that this 3721 online game modifier was related to these two guys.

After downloading the online game modifier, Li Tao immediately began to disassemble it.

His expression gradually changed from relaxed to serious.

"So? Did you figure anything out?" Yu Sen leaned closer and asked.

Li Tao frowned and said, "This thing really wasn't written by the two of you."

"I knew it! How could I possibly do such a thing?" Yu Sen protested.

“It’s not that I approve of your character,” Li Tao said, carefully examining the code. “The main thing is that, given your programming skills and areas of expertise, you two probably can’t write software of this level. At the very least, you two can’t write it in the short term.”

"???" Yu Sen and Cheng Yi were both dumbfounded.

The more I listen to this, the more it sounds like an insult.
Who can't write it? You're the one who can't write it, your whole family can't write it.

As a well-known sharp-tongued programmer, Li Tao even encouraged Liu Guiwu to beat him up when he came over, so naturally he couldn't care less about Yu Sen and Cheng Yi's feelings.

After reviewing all the code, he frowned and said, "Among us, if we want to write software of this caliber within six months, I'm afraid only Lin Qingyin could do it."

Li Tao looked at Cheng Yi and asked, "President Cheng, let me confirm one last time, is this software really not written by Lin Qingyin? This software is extremely powerful. To put it bluntly, this software may destroy most of the gaming industry, so you must be truthful."

"No, I just found out myself," Cheng Yi said. "This software seems to be of some use to us, but at this sensitive time, its appearance is clearly just trying to smear us. Even without this software, I am very confident that I can promote our Momo system."

“Hmm…” Li Tao nodded slowly and said, “The style of the code doesn’t seem to be Lin Qingyin’s handiwork, which is strange. This software program is very complex and involves many fields. Even the top company in the industry, Jinshan, would not be able to write it in two or three years. So I guess this software is based on a certain software and modified. It is definitely not created from scratch.”

"Isn't it clearly written? 3721. This must have been done by that Zhou Hongyi guy," Yu Sen said in a silly and naive tone.

“Motive, I’m talking about motive,” Li Tao said. “What is Zhou Hongyi’s motive? Is it really to prevent students from playing games? Is that why she’s going to such lengths to clean up the gaming community?”

At this moment, Cheng Yi also realized something. Only Shengda had called, but Momo Games hadn't called.

Does this mean that the Primordial War Chronicles is alright?
Cheng Yi immediately called Kong Feng, but was told that he had not received any feedback yet.

"The Chronicles of the Primordial Era was unaffected," Cheng Yi said after hanging up the phone.

Yu Sen said, "That means the software's standards are based on the Primordial War Chronicles. That explains it. It must have been Kong Feng and his team who made it."

"Did I just say something for nothing? If you can do it, Kong Feng can do it too." Li Tao glared at Yu Sen with annoyance.

Cheng Yi seemed to have noticed something and frowned, saying, "I don't think they're following the standards of Honghuang Zhanji. Besides, this software can't break through those standards. Since this software has a functional limit, the creators' purpose is nothing more than two things."

"The first reason is for their own game, that is, the launch of a new game, and this new game is very likely to be made according to the standards of Honghuang Zhanji."

"The second reason is to create hype and then collect protection fees from game companies."

Just as Cheng Yi and his team were searching for the creator's purpose, all the Windows internet cafes were in complete chaos.

When you play online games, you'll find speed hacks and money-making hacks everywhere.

If you play single-player mode, someone might teleport right in front of you at any moment.

Is this any way to have fun?

"Hey, it seems like the people who play the game 'Primordial Era' aren't affected at all."

"Don't you have any cheat codes in your Primordial Era Chronicles?"

"No, what is a 'hanging'?"

"Damn, the Primordial Era Chronicles really wasn't affected."

Many players of other games were furious when they saw that the game "Primordial War Chronicles" was unaffected.

This software must have been created by Honghuang Zhanji! They are the biggest beneficiaries.

The rebellious teenagers immediately started making a ruckus online.

Online, some people have come forward claiming that games available in Momo Internet Cafes have not been affected, which has further convinced everyone that Momo Group was behind this.

In less than half a month, the top ten forums in the country were all flooded with insults.

The equipment I painstakingly acquired is now worthless.

All the game coins I painstakingly earned are now scattered all over the ground.

Even if there were no cheats in the Momo Internet Cafe, the gamers there were even angrier. They couldn't use the 3721 game modifier, but other people on the server could. In that case, they might as well be able to use it too!
Despite Momo Group and Momo Games issuing three consecutive notices to refute the rumors and declare that the matter had nothing to do with them, most netizens felt that the refutation was tantamount to an admission.

Domestic game developers initially thought it was Momo Group that was behind it, but a week after the incident, they changed their minds, because Momo Group had no reason to do such a thing.

Now that Momo Games has a monopoly, how could they possibly care about their limited online presence?
Moreover, they give Momo Internet Cafe a 30% cut, isn't that like they're fighting against themselves?
This doesn't make sense.

By the second week, when they saw that Momo Group had sent engineers to help them with the program architecture, they became even more certain.

There's a mastermind stirring things up!

What's infuriating is that this software is constantly being updated.

Whenever Momo Group's engineers upgraded their program architecture, the software would update within a day, still managing to breach their defenses.

This constant tug-of-war, where the devil is always one step ahead, is truly maddening.

Unless they rewrite the game according to the compilation standards of the Primordial War Chronicles, this software will cling to them like a leech.
