Chapter 378 Easter Egg Speed Run
Half an hour later, a component program of MOSS entered the real universe of "Ready Player One" with Wade's help.
Wade's role ends here.
However, in order to prevent Wade from finding Easter eggs, MOSS gave Wade a serious job and limited Wade's entertainment time through work.
Wade was happy with this.
"Oh my God! A twenty-year work contract?"
"Thank you!"
In the ghettos of Columbus, every job is up for grabs.
Wade was addicted to games before. It was precisely because he couldn't find a good job in reality that he had to put his hope in the game and compete with billions of people around the world for Halliday's easter eggs.
In fact, the background of "Oasis" becoming popular all over the world is the economic downturn. People can't see hope in reality, so they are addicted to games.
MOSS provided Wade with a stable, decent, and well-paying job. Wade was extremely grateful to MOSS. As for having to reduce his time playing "Oasis" due to his busy work schedule, he thought it was natural.
When he put on a suit and tie under the guidance of MOSS, his pursuit of Easter eggs came to an abrupt end.
At the same time, MOSS is showing off its operations around the world.
According to MOSS, the firewall of the "Ready Player One" universe is full of loopholes. It can even write many fool-proof robber programs that can empty accounts in various countries by just pressing "Start".
In less than ten minutes, the wealth of the world's richest people shrank by one percent, and part of their money disappeared out of thin air and entered the pockets of MOSS.
These rich people will soon find that their wealth has evaporated a little, but no matter what means they use to trace it, the final result will only be that they only have the money they have now.
MOSS's technical methods are unimaginable to the people on earth in "Ready Player One".
After receiving a large capital injection, MOSS opened an Internet company in New York.
It employs more than 30,000 people around the world to serve the company through virtual accounts and electronic contracts, and the services are all fake projects it fabricated.
Employees worked hard to create code, sent it to MOSS, and then it was hidden by MOSS.
Although the project is fake, it looks decent.
With a company as its foundation, MOSS no longer needs Wade to do anything for the coalition government. As long as they spend enough money, company employees will be happy to dedicate everything to the company.
Immediately afterwards, MOSS invaded the population information database of various countries.
It fabricated hundreds of highly educated and successful people in these information databases, then used these fabricated identity information to register "Oasis" and generated hundreds of game characters.
With the game character, you can try to obtain Halliday's Easter eggs. From this moment on, the coalition government officially joins the competition for Easter eggs!
When the coalition government became involved in the Easter egg hunt, the nature of the entire event changed.
On the racing track, a new character was created and reversed at full speed with no expression on his face.
His nickname is 001.
When he was about to hit the wall, he entered the underground passage, avoided many dangers on the track, bypassed the violent beast, easily passed the finish line, and entered a small park full of maple trees.
Everyone knows that the first puzzle of the easter egg is in this racing game, but no one knows how to do it to cross the finish line.
Halliday thinks everything is moving too fast, beyond his expectation, and he wants to go back to the way it was before.
"Can't we go back even once?"
"Back up, fast, as fast as you can!"
"Put your foot on the gas and speed up, you know?"
This is what Halliday once said. In the original book, Wade discovered this clue in the archives and realized that he had to go backwards to win this racing game.
call!
When 001 completed a beautiful flick braking in a small park, beautiful music floated out from the trumpets floating around, as if to celebrate him.
The fountain statue in the center of the small park rotated and sank into the ground. A strong wind blew up and picked up countless fallen maple leaves. An old man wearing a cloak and a hood condensed into the place where the statue originally stood.
"You're confusing me."
"What should I call you."
"Lucky one?"
"You are the first person to pass, but you have never been to the archives once. How do you know you have to go backwards to pass?"
Arnock, Halliday's game character, looked at this strange man who still maintained the original appearance of the game and had an expressionless face in confusion, and raised his own questions.
In fact, he could tell that the game character had only been registered for half an hour.
In other words, this character entered the competition as soon as he passed the novice tutorial. He already knew the clues and was just rushing to complete the level.
001 said expressionlessly: "Mr. Arnock, please give me the key."
Anok shrugged his shoulders and showed a regretful expression: "Well, it seems that you have something to do and don't want to chat with me."
He raised his hand, and there was a copper key floating in his palm.
001 raised his hand and put the key into his backpack, then got into the car and drove away under Arnold's puzzled gaze.
"What a strange guy." Arnock murmured, "Weirder than me."
This sense of weirdness is heightened to an epic level ten minutes later.
"why is it you again?"
In the empty ballroom, Arnock stared at 001 in bewilderment.
If he remembered correctly, less than ten minutes ago, he had just handed over his copper key to 001, and in the blink of an eye, he had to hand over the emerald key to 001 again.
At this rate, in ten minutes, will he have to give the last key to 001, and then give 001 an Easter egg?
So many people around the world have not figured out what the first clue is for so long, but 001 has already cracked the second clue. Is this reasonable?
001 said a few more words for the first time: "Halliday, I understand you because we are the same person."
Anok was silent.
The person controlling 001 at this time was MOSS. The reason why it said these sensational words was to prevent Halliday from noticing something was wrong and suddenly regretting it at the last moment.
"This is the emerald key." Arnock's voice became deeper. He pushed an emerald key and a small scroll in front of 001 and said word by word, "It's yours now, and there's more to it. Clues to the third key.”
001 took the key and scroll: "Thank you."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
If nothing else goes wrong, he will see Arnock again in a few minutes, and it will not be too late to tell everything clearly about what he wants to ask.
"You said you are the same person as me. What do you mean?" Anok couldn't help but ask.
001 did not answer and silently exited the scene.
Anok stared at the place where 001 disappeared for a while, and then said quietly: "What an unpleasant guy!"
