Chapter 1641 The Empty Throne

While Captain Lude was interrogating the Wu surnamed head of the human resources department on the rooftop of the Tenda headquarters building, other rebel forces finally stormed into the Tenda headquarters building.

A corporate army, flying the banner of the rebels, led a crowd to storm the network server room located deep beneath the Tenda Group headquarters.

After the commander led all the corporate army soldiers, carefully eliminating all the remaining defense forces in the server room, he immediately ordered the soldiers to seal off all passages to the server room, and he entered the server room alone.

He turned on the holographic projection and spoke with a businessman who was dressed simply but whose office was spacious and luxurious.

Obviously, this should be the actual controller behind the corporate army, the president of a large consortium that supports the rebels.

Seeing the scene in the underground server room, the usually stern president laughed heartily.

"Hahahaha!"

"Those idiots don't know that the most valuable wealth of the entire Tenda Group is in this server room."

"Tenda Group does have a lot of wealth, but that is dead wealth. Even if it is seized, it cannot be kept. All the assets in the Tenda Group's company accounts will be confiscated, but in the end, only a tiny amount will be distributed to each person."

"However, all of Tenda Group's monopolized industries hold massive amounts of data, including everyone's daily behavior data, personal preference data, geographic data of the entire world, etc. With this data, you have the power to control the entire world."

"Not only that, Tenda's internal Aeeis artificial intelligence system can integrate opinions from top to bottom throughout the company, and combine them with the specific analysis of the person in charge to formulate the most beneficial strategies for the company's development. As long as you can obtain this artificial intelligence system, then even if you promote a bunch of pigs to the position of person in charge, you can still keep the entire company developing."

"It's just that those senior Tenda executives are really pedantic. They didn't let Aeeis fully take over Tenda Group's corporate army and defense plan. Nor did they set corporate security as Aeeis's highest priority, which led to their failure to nip the rebellion in the bud when it first started."

"But it doesn't matter, I will never make such a mistake."

"Immediately transport all of this data back intact."

The commander of the corporate army immediately nodded and said, "Yes, President. But the hackers in the team say that the entire system is very complex and has a certain degree of self-defense mechanism. It may be difficult to crack it in a short time. We can only transport the entire server room system back as is."

The president in the holographic projection smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, I have secretly recruited several executives from Tenda Group. As long as they are there, this system can operate smoothly again."

After ending the holographic projection call, the commander issued orders to the soldiers.

...

At the same time, on the rooftop.

The conversation between Captain Lude and the Wu surnamed head of the human resources department had ended.

The Wu surnamed person in charge stood on the edge of the rooftop again.

Captain Lude had saved him before because he wanted to get more clues and truth from him, but at this time, he lost the motivation to stop him, and only asked: "You will not be sentenced to death, at most a few years in prison and you can be released. There's no need to commit suicide."

The Wu surnamed person in charge smiled in relief: "No, actually, I won't spend a single day in jail, because soon some big companies will try everything possible to get me out. They will find all kinds of ways to exonerate me, and then let me continue to hold high positions in their companies."

"I am dying to repay Tenda Group's kindness, and also because of the shattering of my dreams."

After speaking, the Wu surnamed person in charge jumped off the high-rise rooftop.

Captain Lude could have saved him, but he did nothing at this time.

Finally, Captain Lude came to the rooftop of the building, returning to the initial scene.

The entire city was filled with smoke, the war seemed to have reached its end, and the rebel forces had fully occupied the Tenda headquarters building. Those Tenda corporate army resistance forces that were stubbornly resisting in the vicinity were also eliminated one by one.

But at this time, Captain Lude did not feel that he had ushered in a long-awaited victory.

He even felt confused, not knowing what he had been painstakingly pursuing for so long, nor did he know whether everything he had done was meaningful.

This huge confusion and bewilderment surrounded him, and also surrounded the players in front of the computer.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside the roof of the building.

The only difference from the opening scene was that this time the ending was shorter. Before the captain turned his head, the entire picture had abruptly stopped and entered a black screen state.

The game title appeared on the screen again.

The Future You Choose.

Immediately afterwards, the staff list appeared on the screen.

In addition to the regular personnel, there was also a very interesting list that caught Qiao Liang's attention.

Tenda various departments cooperate in the performance list.

For example, the prototype of that war machine came from Guo Licheng, and the last Wu surnamed person in charge came from Wu Bin of the human resources department. The various villains that appeared in the game plot were actually designed with the current departments of Tenda and the heads of each department as prototypes.

Moreover, these heads also put forward some opinions and suggestions on their decisions. For example, the Wu surnamed person in charge jumping off the building in the end was Wu Bin's own insistence.

These heads had all planned their own destiny to some extent, and the game production team only made some minor modifications to the final ending of these characters according to their requirements.

Accompanying the staff list were not scenes from the game, but many real-world scenes.

Those were scenes of Tenda's various industries thriving and being loved by ordinary consumers.

For example, there was a long queue in front of the Lazy Cat Takeout, and the person in charge was being interviewed. There were many young people laughing and playing in the Lazy Cat Internet Cafe, coming and going. The trustee gym gave many people the perfect figure, and the Ni Feng Logistics delivery guys diligently delivered various large items to customers' homes.

Scenes like this flashed by one by one, and finally froze in a large office.

Behind the heavy desk was a huge boss chair, a bit like a throne. Its back was very high and the armrests were very wide. At this time, it was facing away from the camera, and the front was facing the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, as if the person in the seat was gazing at the night view outside, thinking about something very important.

Suddenly, this huge throne slowly turned around, but when it turned to the front of the camera, it was found that the throne was empty.

At this point, the game came to an end.

...

Qiao Liang, who had just cleared the game in front of the computer, looked at this scene. He didn't speak for a long time.

His brain was a bit confused, his thoughts were all over the place, and he didn't know where to start for a while.

It may be because he had stayed up too late and his brain was not clear, or it may be that the game wanted to express too much content, and he couldn't grasp the thread among this messy ball of clues for a while.

He had been playing this game all day, from morning to late at night, and finally managed to clear it.

The game content was indeed very rich. Although it didn't do an open world, the overall promotion was still based on different scene battles. But these scenes were very well-made and innovative, and the map mechanism was also very rich, allowing players to experience the pleasure of hormones bursting during the battle.

The game's battle mechanism was also very rich. Captain Lude, as the protagonist, could constantly gain new combat abilities by replacing prosthetics. He could gain a new ability every once in a while. In the end, he could even use different ability combinations to complete tasks faster.

In the process of resistance, the scene gradually became larger, the battles became more and more intense, and the team supporting the protagonist also became larger and larger. All of this formed an obvious positive feedback, allowing players to clearly feel that their efforts were achieving fruitful results, which also stimulated players to continue to devote themselves to playing.

However, to be honest, the shortcomings of this game were also more obvious. For example, too much emphasis on combat made other aspects of the game content appear monotonous.

An open-world game can allow players to play repeatedly for hundreds of hours with a large and rich game content, while this game focuses its main energy on the player's first experience.

That is to say, although most players can gain happiness through this intense combat mode when they play for the first time, they will feel bored after playing it at most twice, and it is impossible to play it for dozens of hours.

The special combat abilities that the protagonist constantly activates are very novel when experienced for the first time, but when starting from scratch for the second time, they will feel very restricted, and many powerful abilities cannot be used, which will give players a feeling of anxiety.

In addition, the middle and late stages of the game seem to be giving players some inexplicable hints through various details, making players start to have some self-doubt and want to understand what is happening outside the battlefield.

But the game completely framed all the plot in the combat scene, and players could only be forced to fight like a machine, watching the real and beautiful ending gradually move away from them.

Of course, what surprised Qiao Liang the most was the setting of Tenda Group in the story.

The final ending was equivalent to a link in which the truth was revealed. But what was shocking was that Tenda Group, which truly monopolized all industries in the entire world, did not have a manifestation of personal will, nor did a real president make all the decisions, but they were all made jointly by the person in charge and the Aeeis intelligent system.

The new consortium seizing Tenda Group's data and intelligent system in the end, as well as the Wu surnamed person in charge's leap on the roof, all seemed to imply some kind of metaphor.

No matter how you looked at it, this game used Tenda Group as the ultimate big villain, which was really a kind of smear, but after experiencing the entire ending, this feeling of smear seemed to be diluted a bit.

It was elusive what the creators' intention was.

In Qiao Liang's live broadcast room, the audience was already in a mess.

Many viewers had cleared this game together with Qiao Liang. Although their feelings were not as strong as Qiao Liang's, they also produced many associations just by watching the plot. At this time, everyone had their own opinions and could not reach a consensus.

After Qiao Liang was silent for a long time, he said: "Today's live broadcast will end here. I'm going to have a good sleep and think about the deep meaning of this game."

"I'm going to seclusion!"

"Everyone, see you in the next video!"
