MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Chapter 1573: Story Of The Monitoring Team

As one of the latest online games in the industry, the technology in <<REBIRTH>> was considered perfect even though the gaming aspect was still not the most perfect.

A game with almost perfect technology would rarely see the occurrence of BUGs, let alone external modifications.

Logically speaking, the monitoring team of the game should be one of the most idle departments of the company.

Since there were not a lot of BUGs, there wouldn’t be a lot of problems. With not many defects or external modifications in terms of the technology involved, everyone simply had to stare at the big screen everyday. Even though it was slightly boring, it was mainly because they were idle.

However, it was different now. Nobody knew when it started but the monitoring crew started feeling extremely nervous every time they went to work. Nobody dared to slack, even for a little.

There was no other reason for this except for some unknown element that caused the team to be constantly on the edge of their seats. The fear was never-ending because even the siren of the fire truck on their way home could scare them, let alone the warning sound from the monitoring room.

This unknown element was clearly Wang Yu himself. Because of Wang Yu, the monitoring team had nothing but hatred for Pugilists. Every time Wang Yu’s name was mentioned, they clenched their teeth in anger.

To be honest, the monitoring team was pretty pitiful. Even though Wang Yu had constantly triggered the warning, it wasn’t because of any problem on the technological aspect. If the fault lay on the fact that Wang Yu was too strong, it only meant that this game was simply too easy for Wang Yu...

But the latest few actions by Wang Yu caused the game to update earlier than planned...

Even though <<REBIRTH>> had been official for some time now, it was important for games to be constantly updated with new content to retain the players. Therefore, many fresh gaming contents were constantly being looked into.

New content would usually be released when players started to find that the current game was too monotonous. This way, players would be more inclined to stick to the game.

While everyone was still figuring out the game, Wang Yu darted forward like some kind of fraud machine as he single-handedly disrupted the supposed schedule for the updates.

That feeling was similar to the Apple iPhone. Originally, it was scheduled to have a new model every year but because of some catalysis, the models jumped from 4s to X in just half a year. The players were not the only dumbfounded ones because the gaming departments were even more astonished.

If it was merely some minor releases, it wouldn’t mean anything but everything Wang Yu did was so exaggerated that he consecutively released so many major contents...

These contents were vitally important to an online game and Wang Yu’s actions were essentially cutting the lifespans of such games short. Hence, this was definitely a severe blow to the game developers.

Everyone could view this as an accident if it happened once but after Wang Yu disrupted two to three times, it immediately caught the attention of the highest authorities in Soaring Dragon Game Studios.

When the higher-ups raged, the subordinates suffered. As the blame went around, the blame would eventually fall on these unlucky fellas in the monitoring crew.

There was no other choice because the high salaries that they took home were indeed so that they could become a scapegoat at a time like this...

The outcome was clear.

Therefore, their hatred and anger towards Wang Yu were reasonable.

...

Zhao Xinpei was one of the members in the monitoring team. In fact, he was the first technician to notice Wang Yu ever since he got off from the beginners’ village.

This kid had just joined them not too long ago but because of his exceptional technical abilities, he was quickly promoted to team leader. When he was penalised, he was quick to report to the higher-ups that this wasn’t due to any insufficient monitoring but because the player was too strong.

He was, after all, still too young and inexperienced. Since the punishment was already set, it meant that this matter was over and it was important to find a scapegoat at a time like this. Who cares what the reason was? Furthermore, everything that Zhao Xinpei tried to explain was simply complete nonsense in the eyes of the higher-ups.

A level 40 player defeating the God of Puppets? Level 50 player handling Dragon Emperor Dales?

One had to be reasonable even with nonsense, right? This was no longer just insulting the hard work of the designers but also humiliating the intelligence of the higher-ups.

As for the videotapes that could prove what Zhao Xinpei was trying to explain? The higher-ups simply refused to look at them. They had finally calmed things down and he still wanted more drama? Nonsense!

After the manipulations by the higher-ups, Zhao Xinpei not only failed to defend himself, he almost lost his job too. He was also demoted from his earlier promotion as team leader.

Of course, this might be because of Wang Yu but Zhao Xinpei was an understanding person who knew that the blame couldn’t fall on Wang Yu. Therefore, one could tell just how good-mannered Zhao Xinpei was even after his life became so miserable because of Wang Yu yet he did not take it out on him.

...

After yet another day of living on the edge, Zhao Xinpei finally managed to calm himself down when he saw that it was almost time to knock off from work.

Just when Zhao Xinpei was packing up to head home, a group of impeccably attired fellas walked into the room.

The monitoring team was shocked as Zhao Xinpei hurriedly called out, “This is the main base of the monitoring team, nobody is supposed to enter...”

“Little Zhao, do not spout any rubbish!”

Before Zhao Xinpei could finish his sentence, a middle-aged man walked out from the group of men as he stared into Zhao Xinpei’s eyes and disrupted his sentence.

“Director Li, what’s wrong?” Zhao Xinpei asked cautiously.

The middle-aged man replied, “This is our company’s Chairman Ma!”

“Chairman Ma?”

Zhao Xinpei was taken aback as he quickly looked over. When he saw the person standing in front of everyone else, he was rooted to the spot in shock. Who would have thought that this person who barged in all of a sudden was the CEO of Soaring Dragon Game Studios – Ma Longteng!

Ma Longteng only looked like he was 40 to 50 years old and he looked much more energetic than the photos. Every gesture from him was exceedingly earnest.

Behind Ma Longteng was a young lady who had a tall figure, short hair and was extremely beautiful.

“Little Zhao!”

Just when Zhao Xinpei did not know what to do, Director Li quickly exclaimed, “Chairman Ma and Miss Ma are here to greet everyone. Do bring them around!”

Only a director could describe a sudden unannounced inspection so gracefully!

“Sorry to trouble you guys!”

Ma Longteng smiled and nodded at Zhao Xinpei.

Zhao Xinpei walked over and pointed to the display screen, “There is nothing to look over here at the monitoring studio. We basically stare at these screens everyday and when something abnormal pops out, we are in charge of investigating.”

“En!”

Ma Longteng nodded, “So do we have many abnormalities in our game?”

A boss would always be extremely particular about the quality of their product.

“This...”

Zhao Xinpei pondered for a moment, “Theoretically, there aren’t many abnormalities since the game started but...”

“Di~ Di~ Di~ Di~”

Before Zhao Xinpei could finish, a warning sounded across the monitoring studio.
