Chapter 7: Official Intervention and Announcement
[Qingyu Qingfeng has been removed from the competition due to abnormal environmental conditions]
"This is hilarious! He even claimed he didn't cheat, yet he still got kicked out of the game!"
"No, buddy! Did he get punished for applying for the job of 'Following the Wind Ear' in Heaven?"
"That's hilarious! A hearing aid costing over ten thousand? I think it's more like a hearing aid costing over ten thousand!"
Qingyu Qingfeng was kicked, but Lu Qiu was still on the field, and the game continued.
Looking at the three boxes in front of him, Lu Qiu shrugged.
Unexpectedly, he was prepared to perish together with the cheat, but this was the outcome.
"Alright! Let's grab our ID cards and get ready for the next round!"
I wonder if the identity token that was obtained from the targeted person being kicked for cheating can still be exchanged for cash.
Just as Lu Qiu ran off to drop the bag, Qing Yu and Qing Feng on the other side were dumbfounded.
The game screen went black instantly, and the cold system notification felt like a slap in the face.
But the live stream was still streaming normally, and he absolutely could not admit to cheating!
He froze for only two seconds, then slammed his fist on the table, indignantly shouting, "Why was my account banned?! It must be that cheating old lady's doing!"
To make his performance more realistic, he pointed at the screen, spitting as he spoke.
"You all saw it! I didn't do anything, yet my account was banned! That old lady sniped through smoke from 200 meters away, and the authorities did nothing, but instead banned me, the victim! Is there any justice in this world?"
After Qingyu and Qingfeng swayed the narrative, some viewers in the live stream started to think it made sense.
Although CS went a bit too far before, judging from the content of the live match, the guy pretending to be an old lady seems more like a cheater!
"I don't care anymore! I'll curse them both! One's a CS player, the other's a cheater!"
"That makes sense! But this is blatant cheating, isn't the authorities doing anything about it?"
"I'm quitting! This game is unplayable; it's a classic example of anti-cheat measures that don't actually prevent hacks!"
Little did they know, Delta's technical department was already in complete chaos.
The ashtrays were piled high with cigarette butts, and empty coffee cups were scattered haphazardly on every desk.
Everyone had bloodshot eyes, staring intently at the screen in front of them, their fingers clattering on the keyboard.
From the moment Lu Qiu controlled Demulan to kill Qingyu Qingfeng in the first game, the official backend received a flood of reports.
In just one hour, thousands of reports were received, all accusing "players of maliciously exploiting bugs to control the BOSS" and "official cover-up of cheaters".
Worse still, angry players have flooded the comment sections of all Delta Force's official accounts with curses and insults.
The technical department investigated overnight and found that Lu Qiu's account data was unusually clean, with no trace of cheating.
The only missing information was the account's IP address and real-name authentication details, which they couldn't find at all.
"Manager, what do we do? The whole internet is accusing us of protecting a cheater!"
"The server's technical support has checked it, and there are no problems!"
"Yes, manager! A lot of players are leaving comments on our video account, and some are even sending private messages cursing their entire families..."
Upon hearing his subordinates' report, the supervisor in charge of the game's chief planning immediately felt a headache coming on.
"No problem, no problem. This old lady couldn't have popped out of a rock, could she?"
Just when everyone was at a loss, a timid voice suddenly rang out from the corner: "Supervisor... I... I have an idea, but I don't know if it will work."
Everyone looked over and saw that it was an intern who had just joined the company not long ago.
"Go ahead and say it..." The supervisor nodded, clinging to his last glimmer of hope.
The intern took a deep breath and mustered his courage to say, "Instead of explaining to the players that he's not using cheats, let's go with the flow! Let's say that Demulan is a hidden Easter egg in this sniper tournament, personally controlled by a mystery guest specially invited by our organizers!"
She paused, then opened her notebook, which was filled with Lu Qiu's operational analysis: "Furthermore, I've looked at his inventory interface, and it's almost identical to our Crimson Owl Hunt's Seid; both have identity cards. We can set up a kill reward: anyone who successfully kills Demulan in a match and reveals his identity card will receive a cash reward of 10,000 or more. This way, we can not only quell the players' anger but also turn this crisis into buzz, attracting more people to watch the sniper match."
"As for that player..."
Lin Xiao's voice was a little softer, but his tone was firm. "If he wants to come forward and clarify, then we'll just call the police and accuse him of maliciously hacking into the game server. But I watched his streams these past few games. Although his gameplay was outrageous, every shot was predictable, not like a cheat that indiscriminately locks onto heads. His understanding of the map, his calculation of bullet trajectories, and his grasp of psychological warfare are all at a top professional level, even better than many professional players. He's more like showing off his skills than causing trouble."
After listening to the intern's remarks, the supervisor nodded thoughtfully.
Then, gesturing for everyone to wait a moment, he went to his office and made a phone call.
"Hello, Chairman Su! There's a special situation arising from the sniper competition you're organizing..."
The supervisor briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter in the simplest language, and then reported the solution proposed by Lin Xiao to the other party in detail.
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone. "Pretending to be an old lady... that's interesting. But ten thousand is too stingy. Hmm... kill her once, and I'll give you one hundred thousand if she brings out her ID card!"
"One hundred thousand?!" Wang Lei was so shocked he almost dropped his phone. "Okay, Chairman Su!"
"Also, send me the link to his live stream."
"Okay! I'll send it to you right away!"
Ten minutes later, Delta Force officially released an announcement regarding the sniper competition:
[Regarding the hidden Easter egg in this sniper tournament: This tournament features a final hidden Easter egg, "Security Director Demulan," controlled by a mystery guest specially invited by the organizers. During the tournament, any player who successfully eliminates Demulan in a match will receive a cash reward of 100,000 RMB from the organizers! There is no limit to the number of kills; the more kills, the more reward!]
The announcement caused an immediate uproar online.
"Holy crap! 100,000 yuan to kill one person? The official team must be crazy! I'm logging in right now! Don't even think about taking it from me!"
"It wasn't a cheat! It was an official Easter egg! I knew it, how could the official team not care about cheaters!"
"I'm sorry, official! I was wrong! I shouldn't have insulted you! Is it too late to apologize? I'm going to go kill Demulan to make money!"
"Upstairs, that's the fake Demurean! Not the boss who only stays in the garden and launch area!"
Upon seeing the announcement, Qingyu Qingfeng felt as if she had been slapped in the face once again.
"Hahaha! Doesn't your face hurt? He's an officially invited guest!"
"Hilarious! He got banned for cheating, and then he turned around and accused others of cheating. Now he's got a real slap in the face!"
"Cheating again! Account ruined again! If you like playing Counter-Strike so much, you'll get caught sooner or later!"
Seeing the screen full of mockery, Qingyu Qingfeng's face turned a deep liver color with anger.
"Bullshit! What official guest! He must have bribed the officials! They're protecting him!"
As he spoke, he grabbed a water glass from the table and smashed it against the wall.
"Look, they're getting anxious!"
"His own skills and character are lacking, and he gets upset after just a few words! Hilarious!"
"CS is CS, a leopard can't change its spots!"
Just then, a series of knocks sounded from Qingyu and Qingfeng's side.
"Who is it?!" Qingyu Qingfeng shouted irritably.
There was no response from outside the door, so the knocking continued three more times.
Qingyu and Qingfeng walked over, cursing, and flung open the door: "What are you knocking for! Are you looking for trouble?!"
But when he saw who was standing at the door, his arrogant expression froze instantly.
Four or five law enforcement officers in police uniforms stood at the door, their expressions serious.
One of them pulled out a police ID and waved it in front of him: "Are you Luo Ziming? We are from the local police station. You are suspected of intentionally damaging other people's property. Please come with us now to cooperate with the investigation."
