Hey, it's a little troublesome, being famous isn't all great..." After hanging up the phone, Ethan sighed. Now there are more people in the world who know the specific situation of [New World].
However, the president didn't know much. The president probably just thought that Ethan was an employee of [New World], in charge of finance and the like.
He definitely couldn't guess that Ethan was actually [New World] itself.
As long as they don't know the latter, it's fine, and the president shouldn't dare to say anything.
After all, such a large business is being handled like this!!!
Forget it, forget about it.
"Let's go, sis, let's go out for a walk." Suddenly realizing that he was rich, Ethan felt lazy about catching up on sleep and smiled at Jane.
"Where to?" Jane asked innocently.
"Of course, shopping. With so much money, you have to spend it," Ethan shrugged.
"Good idea!!!" Jane immediately nodded like a bobblehead: "Wait a while, I'll wash my face and put on makeup."
After saying that, Jane finished her breakfast and hurriedly ran into the bedroom: "By the way, since you've made so much money, do you want to inform our parents?"
"Let's not talk about it, let's reveal it slowly, lest the hearts of the two old folks can't bear it," Ethan replied after thinking for a while.
"OK, OK!"
Just when Ethan and Jane were about to go out for a big shopping spree, Ethan didn't think that he had underestimated the determination of the players.
David Xie has always been a loyal video game lover. In his past life, he was addicted to "The Ring of Eldon" and couldn't extricate himself.
As a veteran player, he knew from the very beginning about the first game "Silent Hill" produced by [New World], but he never dared to play it because it was too scary.
David Xie didn't dare to log in to the game until Pure White made the perfect ending of "Silent Hill" and became one of the hundreds of thousands of players who cleared the game.
And now, the appearance of "Deep Sea Trek" has truly captured his heart.
Alien Expedition, with incredibly realistic graphics, everything around seems like a real alien planet, and he fell in love within minutes of entering the game.
Because of his fascination, the sudden death of the woman in the second cabin at the beginning of the game really shocked David Xie.
So David Xie started thinking of a way to save the woman in the second cabin.
He originally thought it was a simple matter, but soon discovered the mischievousness of the game developers.
Every time a new game file is opened, the location where the player's escape pod falls into the sea is different, which also causes the surrounding terrain to be slightly different.
Not only that, but the location where Escape Pod No. 2 falls is also different—sometimes it falls in the southeast, and sometimes it falls in a completely different northwest.
This also means that David Xie cannot determine the position of Escape Pod No. 2 by retracing steps and rescuing in advance.
This is just one of the difficulties; another difficulty is that the woman in Escape Pod No. 2 is always eaten by a sea crocodile.
The three-meter-long sea crocodile can't be defeated by players alone, so David Xie also consulted Chang'e, and Chang'e's answer was to make a gunpowder gun.
David Xie did the same, but soon discovered that time was too pressing.
You have to go to the Jet Flower to collect sulfide, make a gunpowder gun, then go to Pod No. 2, and use the gun to kill the sea crocodile before it's possible to save the woman in Pod No. 2.
It takes too much time to complete this set of tasks.
David Xie tried many times, but the result was either he was bitten to death by a sea crocodile, or the woman in Pod No. 2 was bitten to death.
This made him a little doubtful of life. Later, he went online to check for strategies and found that other players said this was a game setting, and the woman in Pod No. 2 could not be saved.
David Xie was skeptical about this. Could it be that he was really wasting his time last night?
He was a little unwilling, so this morning he specially sent out this post and tagged Jane.
Jane replied soon.
The woman in Pod No. 2 can be saved! But it is very difficult!
This answer gave David Xie confidence while countless players were astonished.
His efforts were worthwhile!
After knowing the answer, David Xie began to try harder, but the result was still the same.
Time is too short to achieve it!
After trying for another morning, David Xie was also tired. He felt that he might not be able to save people by himself.
But at this stage of the game, he was already obsessed, and if he couldn't save this woman, he would feel completely uncomfortable!
So, David Xie came up with an idea, and at noon, he posted another message:
"Is there any player who saved the woman in Pod No. 2 now? Whoever saves her first and publishes the video tagging me, I will reward him with 10,000 yuan!"
As soon as this message was released, netizens were instantly delighted:
"No way? David, this is generosity!"
"Haha, David is so obsessed with saving the woman in Pod No. 2, he directly offered a reward of 10,000 yuan?!"
"I can understand this kind of obsession. I've also tried to save the woman in Pod No. 2 many times, but the screams before her death are so desperate!"
"It's awesome, David, for money—uh no, I'll have to try it for you!"
It has to be said that David Xie's message mobilized the subjective initiative of many players, and they started new game files to try.
However, their end was as miserable as David Xie's. Not to mention that they didn't succeed, they were also taught a lesson by the sea crocodiles. For the first time in their lives, they experienced the feeling of being eaten by alien animals.
With so many deaths, netizens doubted the authenticity of Jane's message.
The woman in Pod No. 2... can she really be saved?!
John Fu is a loyal player of "Deep Sea Trek" and a fan of David Xie.
When he saw the message released by David Xie, he also wanted to help his idol and earn the 10,000 yuan in the process.
But he knew very well that he couldn't do it with his ability. At this time, he thought of his sister, who won the swimming world gold medal in the Olympic Games not long ago: Jessica Fu!
"Sis, can you do me a favor?"
At this time, Jessica Fu was on vacation at home, and faced with her brother's request, she was a little puzzled: "What do you need help with?"
"Help me play a game, Deep Sea Trek," John Fu replied.
As a professional athlete, Jessica Fu spends most of her time training, so she doesn't know much about outside information. She has only heard of the game "Deep Sea Trek," and knows that it is very popular, but she doesn't know anything about it.
"You want me to help you play games?" Jessica Fu was a little confused. "I'm not good at this, so how can I help you play?"
"No, this is your specialty!!!" John Fu replied very seriously.
"What?"
With the efforts of her brother, Jessica Fu put on the VR suit and walked to the VR platform.
After entering the game, she was astounded.
"Wait a minute, is this a game? How is it so realistic?!"
"Oh my, why am I falling! Ah, what should I do, John, save me!!!"
"Ah!!!"
Hearing the screams of his sister, John Fu rolled his eyes. This woman... It seems she has never seen a big scene.
After finally falling into the sea, Jessica Fu was stunned by the sea in front of her and the burning Aurora in the distance.
"My God, has the game developed to this point now...

"Is this a real game or have I crossed over..."
She muttered to herself.
"Okay, sis, don't be like a tourist in Grand View Garden! Go swimming in the sea!!!" John Fu, who was beside her, complained, and began to teach her how to play this game.
After experiencing the big scene, Jessica Fu naturally developed a strong interest.
She threw herself into the sea with a splash and began to swim happily.
"Wow wow!!!" Jessica Fu shouted several wows in a row as soon as she entered the water, because she found that the game's simulation of swimming in water was too realistic!
The resistance of the water, the way of contact between the water and the body... are almost perfectly restored.
She is professional in this regard, and she can quickly notice the difference.
But now she feels that swimming in the ocean in the game is no different from real life.
No, there is still a difference. In real life, she mostly exercises in the swimming pool, and the temperature of the sea water is colder and the resistance is greater.
"My God..." After trying every trick of breaststroke, butterfly, and dog paddle, Jessica Fu's evaluation of this game became higher and higher.
She suddenly felt that she could even practice swimming in this game!!!
After all, practicing in the swimming pool is too boring, and the game is completely different. Just this alien scenery, you can swim here for a lifetime!
So nice!
"Maybe we can promote this game to the national swimming team, so that other athletes can also experience this feeling. Training here is not as boring as in the swimming pool, and everyone's enthusiasm can also be improved!!!" Jessica Fu flashed this idea.
Even if they don't experience the plot content of the game, just swimming is excellent for them.
"Sis, don't just swim, you have to help me with something!!" At this time, John Fu's helpless voice sounded.
Why is my sister so addicted to playing?
"Oh, okay!" Jessica Fu also responded, "What is it?"
John Fu told her the mission target, and at this time, she also heard the desperate cry of a woman in Pod No. 2 in the announcement sound.
"That's it, sis, I want you to help me save the woman in Pod No. 2!" John Fu said quickly.
"Okay, no problem!" Jessica Fu agreed, and then swam with all her might towards the position of Pod No. 2.
I have to say that she is indeed a swimming champion, and soon she saw the Pod No. 2 that fell on the beach in front of her.
"It's a piece of cake!" Jessica Fu smiled slightly and immediately increased her speed.
But at this moment, John Fu's worried voice sounded: "Hey, sis, I forgot to remind you, there's a monster next to this pod!"
"What the hell?"
As soon as she responded, Jessica Fu saw a ferocious beast rushing towards her!
"Ah!!!!"
Jessica Fu's screams could be heard throughout the building.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" After dying once, Jessica Fu stared at John Fu faintly.
"I forgot..." John Fu covered his right cheek and said while holding back his cry. There was a bright red palm print on his right face, which was just made by his dear sister.
"There's a monster there, how can the woman in Pod No. 2 be saved?" Jessica Fu said helplessly.
"..." "Sis, you have to collect sulfide, make a pistol, and kill the crocodile," John Fu said.
Kill that crocodile...
Hearing this, Jessica Fu frowned. If she was just swimming, she would be fine. After all, it was her strength, but if she wanted to fight monsters, and it was still such a terrifying monster... it was really difficult.
But looking at her brother's eager eyes, Jessica Fu didn't want to betray his trust.
"Okay, then I'll give it a try!" She had to grit her teeth.
Thanks to her strong swimming skills, the process was smooth at the beginning. After several attempts, Jessica Fu was able to successfully avoid the self-exploding fish and collect the sulfide.
Soon, the pistol was made by her.
But then the biggest problem arose.
How to kill that horrible crocodile?
Jessica Fu's idea was to avoid its attack, take advantage of the pistol, and shoot it directly at a distance of tens of meters to kill it.
Ideas are good, but she finds she overestimates her shooting skills.
The distance was too far, she fired ten shots, almost only one hit, and couldn't kill the crocodile at all.
Moreover, the terrifying stroke of the crocodile, after receiving a bullet, will be fierce, and immediately rush towards her to attack. Even with Jessica Fu's swimming skills, she couldn't escape at all.
Under such circumstances, Jessica Fu tried five or six times in a row, and was also killed five or six times by the crocodile.
After being bitten once, she screamed subconsciously, and after more times, her scream became weaker, so that in the end, the scream disappeared completely.
Because she was about to be bitten.
"John, are you sure that the woman in Pod No. 2 can really be saved..." Jessica Fu, who was limp on the VR platform at the moment, said weakly to John Fu.
"The [New World] studio said so, and they also emphasized that it is very difficult..." John Fu replied in a low voice: "But sis, if it doesn't work, let's forget it. Trying to shoot and kill that crocodile is really too difficult..."
John Fu couldn't stand it anymore; his sister had been dying under the mouth of the crocodile, it was really sad!!!
Even if this game doesn't have a pain system, it's still a kind of spiritual devastation!
The idol's wish can't be fulfilled.
Jessica Fu was about to give up when she heard her brother's words, but the second half of her brother's words suddenly reminded her!
"Wait a minute," Jessica Fu raised her body sharply and clapped her hands, "You're right, it's too difficult to shoot that crocodile. I really can't hit it, but I know one person who can hit it!"
"Who?!" John Fu asked curiously.
"Zachary Chang!" Jessica Fu said loudly.
"Olympic 50-meter rifle three-position champion?!" John Fu also exclaimed in surprise.
"That's right, it's him. I happen to have his contact information, and he happens to be traveling in Hangzhou today. Haha, we are saved!!!" Jessica Fu hugged John Fu and shouted excitedly.
"Really?" John Fu was also shocked!
"Of course it's true, I'm going to ask him for help now. I don't believe it anymore, I have to save this woman in Pod No. 2, I'll contact him now!"
"Okay, hurry, hurry!!!"
In a blink of an eye, it was already evening. At this time, Ethan was eating with Jane in the box of the Yellow Crane Tower Restaurant.
It was now meal time, and the restaurant was crowded with people. In order to have privacy, the two of them booked a large box directly. The minimum consumption in the box was 3,000 yuan.
But now, for Ethan, it doesn't matter.
At the end of the day, Ethan and Jane first went to see a house, and then went to the car dealership, but... they didn't buy anything.
Ethan originally wanted to buy, but was stopped by Jane, who said that even if you have a lot of money, you can't spend it indiscriminately, you need to do more research and shop around.
This made Ethan very speechless, and it really felt like a busy day had been in vain.
But fortunately, the restaurant they chose for dinner was good. The food in this Yellow Crane Tower Restaurant was full of flavors and aromas. Ethan ordered the most expensive dishes in the restaurant, and it was truly worth every penny!
"Hey, Ethan, someone on social media has successfully rescued the woman in Pod No. 2!!!"
At this moment, Jane, who was eating squirrel mandarin fish and browsing her social media, suddenly shouted.
