Chapter 171 Mistake

Yu Tian Shen Ming's luck was really good. He was the first player to die after the Mist Shadow Assassin went berserk. Following him, the Mist Shadow Assassin killed people in all directions. It was only then that the staff of the monitoring team realized something was wrong. By the time they waited for the report and decided how to deal with it, a batch of players had already died at the hands of the Mist Shadow Assassin. Of course, these players would not linger in the resurrection point after being resurrected. And for the game staff in charge of data, it was really difficult to find these unknown people from such a huge player group.

But Yu Tian Shen Ming, because of his terrible sense of direction, didn't dare to leave the resurrection point after being resurrected, for fear of getting lost after going out. So he had been squatting here, and finally saved himself because of this.

It was easy for the staff restoring the data to resurrect those players who had been locked, but they didn't have many ways to deal with those who had died and been resurrected and lost. Locking the resurrection point and following the vine was one way. And Yu Tian Shen Ming, the guy who hadn't left the resurrection point, was easily found. He was resurrected on the spot. The guy was blank and unaware, feeling lonely and desolate in the thick fog.

But soon he also found that his level had been restored, and even some of the reduced skill proficiency, equipment durability, etc., were as good as before, which was naturally a great surprise. And then everyone in the mercenary channel was already discussing it. During the process just now, Jian Gui, Han Jia Gong Zi, You Ge, and Jian Nan You tried their best to persuade other players to evacuate as soon as possible after separating. As the number of players decreased, their risk of becoming targets naturally increased. In the end, none of the four escaped. But because this was already in the later stages of the incident, they were all on the list of those directly locked, and the final resurrection was clean and neat, even faster than Yu Tian Shen Ming.

At this time, everyone in the channel was mainly discussing this idiotic Boss setting, and the fact that the game company was so kind as to give players compensation.

"Back then, didn't the Moon Night City's entrance Boss kill players without giving compensation?" Zhan Wu Shang asked.

"No." You Ge, who knew everything, replied.

"Times are different! How many levels were the players at that time? Losing one level wasn't a big deal, not comparable to us now." Han Jia Gong Zi said. This was also a bit unfair to the game company. They didn't decide whether to compensate based on the amount of the loss. It was just that they were still in the very early stages of the game's public beta at that time, and their work experience was insufficient, and their technical conditions were not perfect, so they couldn't implement compensation. Many of the technical means used now were developed and put into use after that incident was taken seriously. So it can only be said that Han Jia Gong Zi and the others had caught a good time.

Amidst the discussion, Yu Tian Shen Ming finally weakly asked, "Who's coming to pick me up?"

"Coming back right away." Gu Fei replied to him.

"No, I'm at coordinates xxx, xxx now!" Yu Tian Shen Ming said.

Everyone was stunned. This place was obviously not far from them, and it was absolutely impossible for it to be inside the city.

"Didn't you die?" Everyone said.

"Like you guys, resurrected!!" Yu Tian Shen Ming had already heard the clues from the previous discussions.

"How come even you were resurrected!" Zhan Wu Shang said.

"Damn, wasn't I killed by the berserk Boss!" Yu Tian Shen Ming cursed.

"You've been dead for so long, your corpse is cold, it shouldn't be!!" Zhan Wu Shang repeatedly despised.

The two then quarreled in the channel, and finally Han Jia Gong Zi, the leader with channel permissions, silenced them.

The players who accepted the resurrection had basically been dealt with at this time, and everyone soon saw the system's apology announcement. In addition, the remedial measures turned from active to passive. Because some of the lost players were really difficult to find, the system specially announced that these players should take the initiative to contact the online GM. After knowing the details, the data team would find it much easier to verify their experiences. However, in order to prevent people from taking advantage of the situation, the system also solemnly pointed out that those who deliberately disrupted the game would be dealt with as affecting the daily work of the game.

It was naturally not enough to just announce it in the game. The next day, the official website of the game also put this information on the front page. The official generously admitted the mistake, called on players who had not yet received compensation to contact them in time, and dispelled the players' concerns, telling them that this Boss was being thoroughly investigated, and would meet everyone again after it was fixed.

It wasn't just the Mist Shadow Assassin who was being thoroughly investigated, but also Ye Xiao Wu, a senior design staff member of the planning department.

He hadn't expected that this matter would become like this. He hadn't expected that the Mist Shadow Assassin's hatred system would be so fatally idiotic. Otherwise, he would have corrected it when setting it up, would he have waited until today?

A wise man sometimes makes mistakes. Ye Xiao Wu fulfilled this sentence today. He originally wanted to design a Boss that would be difficult for players to deal with, but as a result, the designer now looked like a retard. What was even more deadly was that his use of the modifier to tamper with the game settings was also quickly revealed.

Thoroughly investigating this Boss's rampage would naturally soon involve the Boss's rampage conditions. If it was a normal situation, Ye Xiao Wu's private operations might have been ignored, but the situation was different at this time. A bunch of people in the monitoring team were watching the Boss rampage with their own eyes, and the result was completely inconsistent with the rampage conditions.

Program error, or what?

After further investigation, they quickly discovered the records of being manipulated by the modifier. Then, Ye Xiao Wu didn't wait for people to finally find him, and simply stood up and admitted it.

"Why??" Everyone looked at him in surprise, knowing that Ye Xiao Wu was a guy who often talked about being a "self-disciplined game worker," and no one thought that the first violation would be him.

Ye Xiao Wu's expression was calm: "I just don't want the Bug in the game to expand further."

"Bug expansion?" Everyone was confused. "Did you do this to test the Bug on the Mist Shadow Assassin?"

"The Bug I'm talking about is not the Mist Shadow Assassin." Ye Xiao Wu pointed to the screen on a computer. It was replaying the Mist Shadow Assassin's atrocities, right up to the scene where Gu Fei and Bai Shi Jing Lun joined forces to kill it. "I'm talking about them."

"Them?" Everyone looked over.

"Can't you see? They are all people who have more skills in fighting and combat than ordinary people. Their existence is a great destruction to the balance of the game. Two level 40 players actually joined forces to kill a level 60 berserk Boss. Have you ever seen such a thing in any online game?" Ye Xiao Wu said.

Everyone was silent. Ye Xiao Wu's words sounded reasonable to them. These two people were a bit exaggerated.

"You also saw the things that exploded just now, Mist Shadow Raid, an assassin skill above level 60. If players master it now, what's the point of continuing the game?" Ye Xiao Wu continued.

Everyone continued to be silent.

"There is a problem with the Mist Shadow Assassin's hatred setting, which has caused bad consequences. This is my responsibility, and it is our designer's dereliction of duty. However, I insist that we must find a way to curb the existence of these Bug players. Even if we can't forcibly prohibit them from playing the game, we must never let them run rampant in the game like this. Other players need a fair environment." Ye Xiao Wu said.

Still silence, only the leader of the monitoring team patted Ye Xiao Wu on the shoulder and said, "The boss wants to see you."

The boss here is also the biggest boss in Parallel World. Although Ye Xiao Wu had no real power, he was a high-level designer with a very high status. At this time, he had a problem, and no one present had the right to do anything to him, so they quickly reported the situation upward. Before long, the boss sent a message to bring Ye Xiao Wu over.

Ye Xiao Wu stubbornly held his own views, not afraid at all, and walked out of the monitoring team to find the boss, leaving behind a whisper.

Ye Xiao Wu was the absolute core of Parallel World's design. It can be said that there would be no Parallel World without him. He was a meritorious person with credit and hard work. At this time, although he had committed a major evil that the company had strictly prohibited, everyone thought that this matter would be glossed over. In addition, Ye Xiao Wu's behavior was not for his own personal gain. What he said just now had aroused the approval of many people, and everyone felt that there was no need to severely pursue him.

The boss's office.

Behind the wide desk, the boss was waiting for Ye Xiao Wu with his hands behind his back. After hearing the knock on the door, he said to come in, then turned around and sat back in his chair.

The boss's expression was gloomy, while Ye Xiao Wu's expression was still stubborn.

He had long held the idea that Gu Fei was a Bug and had to be suppressed or eliminated. He had been forbearing all along. Today's incident can be said to be a fuse. From the moment he used the modifier, he had involuntarily embarked on a road of either success or benevolence. He had vowed to kill this Bug to the end.

"It seems I don't need to ask the reason?" the boss said.

Ye Xiao Wu nodded: "You know, this kind of person..."

"I know." The boss interrupted Ye Xiao Wu directly, "The existence of this kind of person is an imbalance. I already knew when you first told me, and I also said that there should be some way, but it's definitely not the way you're using now."

The boss's tone was unexpectedly stern, making Ye Xiao Wu feel a little surprised. He and the boss had also discussed this kind of Bug player, and he knew that the boss also had concerns about them, but he didn't expect that when he took illegal actions to suppress these players, the boss would be so angry, without treating him any differently.

"But..."

"No buts." Ye Xiao Wu's words were once again ruthlessly interrupted, "The Boss's setting is unreasonable. I can understand and forgive this kind of mistake in work, but I will never allow you to use the modifier this time."

"Are we going to let them continue?" Ye Xiao Wu was still tough.

"Even if they continue, it's definitely better than what you're doing now." The boss said, "This kind of imbalance caused by the person himself is a long-standing problem. You use this method to deal with people with outstanding skills, so what about those RMB (renminbi) players? You can't not know the power of money in the game, right? So aren't they a kind of imbalance?"

Ye Xiao Wu suddenly became confused. He had indeed never thought about the question of whether RMB players were unbalanced.

"We can use the method of improving the settings to narrow the gap between these players and ordinary people, but we have no right to create special rules for them. The game world also needs a unified standard. Go home and think about these things carefully before coming back to see me." the boss said.

Ye Xiao Wu turned around blankly. He heard the boss say one last sentence behind him: "You created this world, but this world never belonged to you!"
