C201 Privacy (1/2)

Li Qiang shook his head and said, ”We entered the game at a friend's home. This is our first time here, so we don't have any tokens.”

The old man said, ”If that's the case, you can give me the money. One token is 100,000, so pay up.”

He Ziyan said: ”What kind of crappy game is this, asking for money the moment you entered? ”Why is it different from before?”

The old man laughed, ”The times are different, so are the values. Nowadays, the maintenance of the game requires a huge amount of money. Since you players aren't paying, how can we continue to operate the game?”

Li Qiang waved his hand and said, ”Forget it, I'll just give you the money. How are you guys going to collect the money?” He wanted to turn around and leave, but this strange game piqued his curiosity. Besides, Zhou Qianqian was also inside. He wanted to know what was going on inside.

The old man said, ”Tell us your name and identity and we will send you the bill.”

The moment Li Qiang mentioned his name, the old man's eyes lit up. He bowed and said, ”So it turns out that your esteemed guest has arrived. Please excuse me. Please come in.” As he spoke, he stepped aside, and not far away, a magnificent city appeared.

She Ziyan asked: ”He is free, what about me?” The elder smiled and said, ”Lady is a companion of Mister Li, so naturally she is free.”

Li Qiang had been through all sorts of courtesy these past few days and was already used to it. He didn't care much about it as he looked at the city and asked curiously, ”Your city is doing quite well. Why is it so simple and crude over at the valley?”

The old man laughed, ”I'm sorry, customer. This game has only been built a few days and there are still some areas that need improvement. The map, the characters and so on are still in the process of completion. We are recruiting more IT personnel.”

Li Qiang asked curiously, ”You just created the game, so what is the relationship with the holographic game from before?”

The old man said, ”It is him, and we are us. It doesn't matter.”

She Ziyan said: ”How can you say it doesn't matter, I think this game of yours is meant to be a plagiarism.”

The old man angrily said, ”Miss, don't speak nonsense. Our game has its own intellectual property, where did you copy it from?”

She Ziyan snorted, and whispered in Li Qiang's ear: ”I know, this game is simply a private server. Although its style is similar to the one before, but in every aspect it's very simple and crude, used to gather money.”

Li Qiang responded in a low voice, ”The so-called 'exposing someone's weakness'. Since we're already here, we might as well take a walk inside. This time, we're here to look for Teacher Zhou. Don't create unnecessary trouble.”

He Ziyan nodded, and said to the old man: ”Whatever you say, we are entering the city, see you later.”

The elder bowed expressionlessly and said, ”I wish the two guests a happy day.” Then it disappeared.

As Li Qiang and He Ziyan entered the city gate, they saw that the city was bustling with activity. The construction here was much better than in the valley, and in certain aspects, it was not inferior to the previous game.

He Ziyan said, ”Why do the cities here resemble Phoenix City so much? They bring back so many memories.”

Li Qiang said, ”Since it's a private server, of course there are many places that belong to the shanzhai families. Although the scale is not comparable, the amount of investment required to create a game of this level is not small. It's really strange. Why would Teacher Zhou come to this game?”

He Ziyan said: ”Everyone has their own secrets, maybe this is where she sends out her pressure.”

Li Qiang said, ”If she wants to use this method to relieve the pressure, she can go to the real game.”
