Chapter 5: The most miserable way to die is, of course, left for players to experience

The police and medical staff arrived very quickly, plus the two reporters sent by Shen Qinghan.

A piece of news quickly hit the trending search.

【Exposed: Emperor Penguin's new work "Ruins Future: 2100" suspected of plagiarism, boss of Polar Star Game Company beats up mole...】

Followed by a photo with the whole body mosaicked.

But you could vaguely see it was an adult male, covered in blood.

It quickly rushed to the number one trending search on the Federation's largest news and entertainment website, Federation Headlines.

The comments below kept scrolling.

【66666, I knew it, those guys at Emperor Penguin Group are doing bad things again.】

【Those people at Emperor Penguin Group are plagiarizing again?】

【What do you mean "again"? Have they ever stopped?】

【Can't say, this boss still has some backbone, beating up the mole.】

【Laughing to death, what's the use of beating him up? If you're not good enough, you're not good enough. Wasting good creativity, it's better to let Emperor Penguin Group do it. Their strength is there, and the things they make are much better than the original.】

【That's right, now is the era of computing power; as long as you have money, you can do the best. Since that's the case, why not let Emperor Penguin Group do it? They really dump money.】

【Exactly, playing the finished product directly is much better than those shoddy games made with a little money, and it saves from updating every once in a while. Isn't it good to make it the best?】

【6666, how much Federation Credits per post for washing them like this? Introduce me to the brother?】

【I wash your*****】

Many netizens kept scolding each other.

The online environment was no different from Earth's, or even worse.

After all, this era has new energy, making humans too idle.

Idle enough to constantly promote war...

Night falls.

Sky Shark Live.

As the largest game live streaming platform in the Daxia Federation, and also the platform with the authority to live stream the "Anti-War Competition," it has always been the favorite platform for game players in the Daxia Federation.

And as the pillar of old-fashioned games like gunfights, Mo Xiaomo's live streaming room suddenly lit up.

A young and energetic girl cosplaying as a policewoman came into view:

"Hello, hello, good evening everyone~"

"Welcome to Mo Xiaomo's live streaming room~"

"Let's start today's journey of conquest~"

"Today we are playing 'Ruins Future: 2100'. This game is a work participating in the 'Anti-War Competition', but thanks to the efforts of this big streamer, I got an experience quota~"

"Hahahaha, brothers, are you excited~"

As Mo Xiaomo's voice fell, the barrage in the live streaming room went crazy:

【6666, are you floating, calling yourself a big streamer?!】

【Did you get it? I heard that there are a bunch of people next door live streaming this game today.】

【Tsk, another game plagiarized by Emperor Penguin.】

【Laughing to death, streamer, don't play it. This game is plagiarized; be careful the original author sues you.】

【That's right, don't watch Emperor Penguin's games!】

【No, brother? Don't you watch the news? It's already on the headlines; you're still streaming this plagiarized game?】

【Aren't you afraid of losing your reputation?】

The barrage in the live streaming room wasn't as excited as expected, and even the water friends who were joking were drowned out by a bunch of people scolding Emperor Penguin Group, which made Mo Xiaomo at a loss, looking at the barrage and saying:

"Ah... this, wait a moment."

"I'll go find out."

Then she hurriedly stood up, looking at her equally anxious assistant and asking:

"What's going on? Is this game plagiarized from someone else?"

"Why didn't I know about it before?"

The assistant was a bit confused, looking at the news online:

"I don't know either."

"This only broke out this afternoon."

"However, there is no statement from Polar Star Game Company."

"It's just that the online public opinion is now one-sidedly saying that Emperor Penguin Group plagiarized and that the boss of Polar Star Game Company beat up the mole."

"Should we... stream as usual?"

"Emperor Penguin Group plagiarizing isn't the first or second time; every time, the original work dies."

"This time probably won't be an exception."

Mo Xiaomo frowned:

"No."

"Even if we stream, we can't stream now. We have to wait until others finish streaming and the public accepts it before streaming."

The assistant gave a bitter smile:

"But the money has already been collected."

"Will doing this offend them?"

Mo Xiaomo glared:

"Anyway, it's a plagiarized game; we definitely can't stream it first."

"This can also be considered their breach of contract first."

The assistant sighed:

"I see."

The assistant went to contact the staff of Emperor Penguin Group.

Mo Xiaomo quickly returned to the camera of the live streaming room:

"Sorry, brothers."

"I didn't know about this; I only found out through my assistant just now."

"We won't stream this game today."

"Let's just look for something online today."

"See if there are any fun games."

As the "Anti-War Competition" approaches, many games have started to promote themselves.

This is also a rigid rule; otherwise, if the promotion is too early, some powerful companies will kill off all the small workshops. Anyone who violates the rule of early promotion will be disqualified, and only ten days before the competition can they promote.

At this time.

The barrage scrolled wildly.

【Go to Polar Star Game's official website and see if it's plagiarized.】

【Then the boss of Polar Star Game is really unlucky; just wait for bankruptcy.】

【Hahahahaha, happy to see it +1.】

【Emperor Penguin Group is not acting like a human again, but it seems they have never acted like a human.】

Mo Xiaomo looked at the barrage helplessly.

These people have no end to their scolding, but this incident has some heat, so she said:

"Alright, at the request of the vast number of water friends."

"Let's go check out Polar Star Game's official website~"

Then she opened the search, entered Polar Star Game Company, and clicked the mouse lightly.

A search interface appeared.

The first thing that came into view was Polar Star Game Company's official website. Mo Xiaomo clicked in and saw a sci-fi future CG animation. The picture moved from far to near, and Blue Star had already become ruins.

The city was dark, humans and machines were combined, and the sci-fi flavor was very strong.

And this also made Mo Xiaomo couldn't help but gasp.

Damn!

It really is plagiarized.

Since she wanted to stream, Mo Xiaomo must have understood "Ruins Future: 2100."

And this CG on Polar Star Game's official website is basically the same as "Ruins Future: 2100," except that Emperor Penguin Group's "Ruins Future: 2100" visuals are more exquisite and delicate, which is also Emperor Penguin Group's old routine.

However... are they not even hiding it?

Even the transition time and angle in the CG are basically the same...

Mo Xiaomo mourned for the boss of Polar Star Company in her heart; being plagiarized by Emperor Penguin, just admit you're unlucky.

Suddenly.

The CG playing on Polar Star Game Company's official website disappeared. Mo Xiaomo was a bit surprised:

"Hmm?"

"Why is the video gone?"

She refreshed it twice, and it was still gone.

Mo Xiaomo's gaze looked elsewhere. The promotion of "Cyber Blue Star: 2077" at the top of the official website had been moved to the second position.

And the first position was replaced by "Second World War: Rise of the Empire."

It immediately aroused Mo Xiaomo's interest:

"Eh—"

"This title? A bit interesting, huh?"

"Is it a new game?"

"Polar Star Company's actions are so fast, they found a replacement?"

She clicked twice, but couldn't click in.

But her curiosity was hooked.

The barrage was also communicating constantly.

【Holy crap? Empire? What an ancient word.】

【Empire represents conquest and slaughter, which doesn't integrate with the mainstream ideology of the Federation now. Is the boss of this Polar Star Game company trying to go in?】

【Could it be that this Polar Star Game company is a war-mongering fanatic?】

【I think he's crazy and gave up on himself.】

【No? Didn't you guys find the blind spot?】

【Why is it the Second World War? What about the first?】

【Yeah? What about the first?】

【Holy crap, now that you mention it, I'm really curious!】

【This Polar Star Game is going to do something big.】

【Waiting online for the news of the Polar Star Game boss getting arrested, hahahahaha.】

The curiosity in the live streaming room was constantly hooked. Whether it was the Second World War or the Rise of the Empire, it made the water friends in the live streaming room itch, but they were anxious and had no way, as there was no news from Polar Star.

The matter of Polar Star's official website was also quickly known by netizens, and many people came to check in.

The heat quickly occupied the trending search of Federation Headlines.

And at this time.

Zhao Ming, who made a group of netizens scratch their heads.

Was in the office, fiddling with a virtual helmet.

After an afternoon of promotion, many people knew about his company's affairs, which provided a lot of emotional value. Zhao Ming first redeemed a video of "Normandy Landings," and then used the computing power purchased from the photonic supercomputing cluster to render it.

Now he had made that segment into a virtual game and linked it to the virtual helmet, just waiting for the experiment.

According to the memories in his mind, Zhao Ming put on the helmet and pressed the button.

It went black before his eyes, and then when it lit up again.

What came into view was already being on a landing craft.

The boundless sea.

Surrounded by warships and landing craft, planes in the sky roared toward the island ahead.

His ears were filled with the roar of the landing craft.

This was the scene at the beginning of "Normandy Landings," exactly the same. If he didn't know it was a virtual game, Zhao Ming would have thought he had transmigrated again.

A virtual helmet could actually do this?!

Immersive experience.

Couldn't that mean he could turn all of Earth's movies into games?!

This was a feeling that couldn't be experienced on Earth.

The shaking of the landing craft, the waves of the sea, the crowding of the soldiers around him, and the damp, salty smell from the seawater were all so real. Zhao Ming twisted his arm, and a pain sensation that was much weaker than in reality came:

"Hiss—"

"It's got something."

This was just a virtual helmet. According to the memories in Zhao Ming's mind, that kind of virtual sensory pod could simulate 100% simulation.

Thinking of this.

Zhao Ming's expression was strange. 100% simulation, is the pain sensation about the same...

Tsk.

For those playing with virtual sensory pods, he'd have to add a warning statement later.

Otherwise, they might get hurt from the pain.

Just as he was thinking, a sharp whistle suddenly came to Zhao Ming's ears.

Doo————

Doo————

"Everyone! Split into two rows, avoid the shell craters!"

"Prepare to land!"

"May the Lord bless you!"

As the voice fell, the baffle in front of the landing craft was lowered.

Zhao Ming reacted, thought of the following plot, and felt his scalp tingle looking at the lowered steel baffle:

"Damn!!!"

Zhao Ming thought about dodging to the side, just as he lifted his foot.

Pitter-patter, heavy machine gun bullets swept over.

The four or five NPCs in front of Zhao Ming were instantly swept away by machine gun fire, flesh and blood exploded, followed by Zhao Ming.

Bang!

The helmet was directly blown up, and a chilling feeling spread from his forehead to the back of his head.

His body was also swept by machine gun bullets pitter-patter.

Before he could exit, the screen fell into darkness.

Inside the office.

Zhao Ming, wearing the virtual helmet, shivered and hurriedly took off the virtual helmet, his heart beating wildly:

"I'm damn... being too realistic isn't good either."

"Can't try it anymore."

"Better to torture the players." ===== CHAPTER 6 =====
