Chapter 674

.

April 85th, at 67: 55 am, Dream Entertainment's second round of beta testing began. Anyone who owned a personal game server jointly released by Dream Entertainment and Intel could log into the Brave World.

The number of personal game servers sold exceeded 6.7 million. More than half of them were purchased by overseas players. The second round of beta testing for the Brave World had more than 285,555 overseas players participating.

At 66: 85 PM in China time, the highest number of concurrent players in the Hero's World had reached 6,887,387. This was also all the players who had access to the Hero's World's closed beta.

At 67: 55 am, the Internet Entertainment Review Department officially announced their decision on the Brave World. They ordered the Brave World to cease operations and undergo a full inspection by the Internet Entertainment Review Department.

On Dream Entertainment's official player forum, a large number of players with beta access had posted about the World of Heroes and the censorship of the online entertainment censorship department.

Lijian Province's super player, Storm, was a local of Lijian Province. He didn't care about Xia Xia's politics and directly scolded on the official forum.

…

"Internet Entertainment Review Department, a bunch of sons of b * tches!"

"Xia Xia's Internet Entertainment Review Department, you're a bunch of sons of b * tches. The Brave World endangers public safety. This is the world's biggest joke!"

"After being tested by our Lijian Province's medical experts, the Brave World can train players' reflexes and increase their physical fitness. What kind of effect is this?" "What we players need is this kind of online game. While entertaining ourselves, we can train our bodies!"

"If the Brave World is suspended because of the Internet Entertainment Review Department's inspection, I represent a large number of Lijian Province's players in protest and disdain of Xia Xia's Internet Entertainment Review Department."

"We Lijian Province's players will provide legal aid to Dream Entertainment. We support Dream Entertainment's lawsuit against the Internet Entertainment Review Department!"

"I personally hope that Dream Entertainment can develop in Lijian Province. Lijian Province doesn't have a strange organization like the Internet Entertainment Review Department. After passing the review, they still need to conduct a second review. This is a conspiracy against the Brave World and Dream Entertainment!"

…

Storm's post received a lot of support from the Lijian Province's players. Lijian Province's players expressed the same opinion as Storm and welcomed Dream Entertainment to develop in Lijian Province.

Dream Entertainment's background had long been exposed on the player forums. Dream Entertainment wasn't a company in China. Although Dream Entertainment was registered in China, the holding company of Dream Entertainment, Mirui Technology Co., Ltd. was an offshore company.

If Dream Entertainment couldn't develop in Xia, its parent company, Dream Entertainment could move to other regions.

As everyone knew, the headquarters of Dream Entertainment was located in Shuangqing City in Xia Country. The local players in Shuangqing City received a lot of preferential treatment. At least in terms of official events, the players in Shuangqing City would always have a geographical advantage.

If Dream Entertainment could move to Lijian, then Lijian's players would be able to enjoy some of the advantages of local players.

European players also urged Dream Entertainment to consider some European countries in the forums. In the European Union, some countries had low taxes. If Dream Entertainment could move over, it would be a good choice. Especially in terms of taxes, there would be a huge reduction.

The Internet Entertainment Review Department ordered Brave World to stop operations and wait for a full review. This executive order was sent to Dream Entertainment's headquarters through Shuangqing City's Internet Entertainment Review Department.

In Dream Entertainment's conference room, Shi Lei held an internal meeting. Xie Hui, Zhu Jianyun, Mu Shuang, and Wen Ruoyun attended the meeting.

In the conference room, Shi Lei coughed and said in a clear voice, "Everyone knows about the executive order from the Internet Entertainment Review Department, right?" His tone was natural, and there wasn't anything wrong with it. It was as if the executive order from the Internet Entertainment Review Department couldn't affect Dream Entertainment and Brave World.

Xie Hui and Zhu Jianyun lowered their heads and looked at Shuangqing City's Internet Entertainment Review Department. They didn't say anything.

At this time, staying silent was the best choice. They didn't want to accidentally say something wrong and get scolded by Shi Lei.

Wen Ruoyun was in charge of Immortal Painting Company's affairs. She only attended the meeting and was considered an observer. She didn't provide any suggestions. Therefore, Wen Ruoyun also remained silent.

Mu Shuang was in charge of Mirui Technology's subsidiaries in Xia Xia. She said, "Shi Lei, do you already have a plan? Why don't you share it with us?"

In Mirui Technology's system, only Mu Shuang could speak to Shi Lei like this. In the public announcement, Shi Lei wasn't only the CEO of Dream Entertainment, but he was also one of Mirui Technology's shareholders. He held 4% of Mirui Technology's shares.

Shi Lei clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention. He smiled and said, "Since the Internet Entertainment Review Department has ordered us to temporarily stop the Hero's World and wait for a full review, we will accept the administrative order of the Internet Entertainment Review Department."

"Huh?" Xie Hui couldn't help but ask.

Mu Shuang also looked at Shi Lei with a strange expression. "Shi Lei, this is your plan?" Mu Shuang wanted to ask. What kind of plan was this? It was completely following orders!

Shi Lei nodded. "Yes! The Internet Entertainment Review Department has so much power. If we don't listen to them, what else can we do? Let them do whatever they want to do! "

Mu Shuang's willowy eyebrows curved slightly. She looked at Shi Lei and thought, 'This playboy, I don't know what he's up to!' Mu Shuang didn't believe that Shi Lei would obediently accept the order from the Internet Entertainment Review Department!

If Shi Lei was an honest and obedient person, he wouldn't have offended the Internet Entertainment Review Department's review team.

Xie Hui was slightly disappointed. 'Sigh, Xia Xia's Mainland is really affected by the government's interference!'

Zhu Jianyun knew Shi Lei better than Xie Hui and trusted Shi Lei more blindly.

'Hey, there's a good show to watch. I don't know what Boss Shi is up to, but the Internet Entertainment Review Department is going to be in trouble!' Zhu Jianyun thought to himself.

Wen Ruoyun seemed to be in a daze and didn't express any opinions.

Shi Lei took in everyone's expressions and suddenly smiled. "Oh right, I suddenly remembered that the Internet Entertainment Review Department is Xia Xia's Internet Entertainment Review Department, right?"

Mu Shuang's eyes revealed a hint of a smile. She had already guessed Shi Lei's plan.

Xie Hui still didn't understand and answered foolishly, "Yes, the Internet Entertainment Review Department is in charge of the entire Xia Xia's online entertainment review. They have the power to decide the life and death of online games and are considered a department with absolute power. "

"Oh, a domestic department with absolute power? That means that the Internet Entertainment Review Department can't manage the operations of overseas games, right? " Shi Lei laughed strangely. "If that's the case, then we'll temporarily suspend operations and let the parts that can be managed by Xia Xia's Internet Entertainment Review Department!"

Zhu Jianyun also guessed Shi Lei's plan. 'Wonderful! Boss Shi's move is wonderful! He directly pushed the Internet Entertainment Review Department to the opposite side of Xia Xia's players and aroused their dissatisfaction with the Internet Entertainment Review Department. '

"Boss Shi, do you mean that we'll only suspend the services of Xia Xia's World of the Brave and continue to provide services to overseas players?" Xie Hui asked tentatively.

"Yes!" Shi Lei nodded. "The Internet Entertainment Review Department can't manage overseas matters, right? If the Internet Entertainment Review Department still wants to go against Dream Entertainment, then don't blame us for fighting to the death! Hmph! "

Mu Shuang didn't object. Shi Lei did this mainly to help Mu Shuang vent her anger. Mu Shuang was slightly touched.

Zhu Jianyun clapped. "Good! Boss Shi is mighty! Those damn bureaucrats, we shouldn't have given in to them. Let's see what they can do to us! "

Xie Hui clenched his fist and nodded. "Boss Shi, if the environment in Xia Xia isn't good, we can go to Taiwan. In Taiwan, the censorship of online games isn't so … hmm, hilarious! "

"Alright, we'll talk about future matters in the future! The meeting is over. You guys can go about your own business. If there are any reporters, don't reveal too much to them. However, you must let them know that Dream Entertainment is prepared to fight to the death! "Shi Lei said in a serious tone.

After Xie Hui, Zhu Jianyun, and Wen Ruoyun left, only Shi Lei and Mu Shuang were left in the meeting room.

Mu Shuang sighed and said, "Shi Lei, is this worth it?"

"It's worth it! Your Majesty, this isn't just for you. It's also for the long-term development of Dream Entertainment. In the future, the Hero's World will provide Dream Entertainment with extraordinary benefits. The benefits from the Apocalypse War will exceed the Hero's World. If we don't take a strong stance, who knows how many people will try to get a share of the profits after we start making money! "Shi Lei said seriously.

"Alright! But you have to be careful. Otherwise, the leaders in Xia Xia won't be happy. "Mu Shuang was born in a political and business family, so she knew more than ordinary people.

Shi Lei sneered. "The leaders won't be happy? If they're not happy, then let them be! Milady Queen, I've already made my decision on this matter. Using this opportunity, I must express that I'd rather die than live in dishonor. "

"I can't be bothered to talk to you. It's your company anyway. You can do whatever you want!" Mu Shuang stood up and walked to her office.

Shi Lei took the elevator to B0. In the core area, Shi Lei gave a voice command to Izur. "Izur, make an announcement in the Hero's World. Inform all players in Xia Xia to go offline in ten minutes. The Hero's World will be temporarily suspended in Xia Xia. Tell them to pay attention to the official website for the exact time when the service will resume. "

“Yes，Sir。”

After Izur responded, Izur, as the main system of the Hero's World, immediately made a World Announcement in the Hero's World.

The Hero's World was synchronized with the time axis. Currently, Xia Xia's time was just past midnight. It was the time when Xia Xia's players were basically online.

However, the World Announcement sent the Xia Xia's players into the abyss!

"World Announcement: Xia Xia's players, please return to your personal room in ten minutes and go offline safely. The Hero's World will be temporarily suspended in Xia Xia. For the exact reason, please check the official website. For the exact time when the service will resume, please pay attention to the homepage of the Hero's World. The suspension of service does not include Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, or overseas regions. "

Izur repeated the World Announcement over and over again. Most of the Xia Xia's players were in despair. They knew what was going on.

Xia Xia's Internet Entertainment Review Department announced that the Hero's World did not comply with the laws and regulations related to Internet entertainment. The Hero's World would be subject to review.

The players could not accept this official explanation!

The overseas players who supported Dream Entertainment against the Internet Entertainment Review Department were suddenly silenced. They did not make any comments.

Dream Entertainment had only suspended the Hero's World in Xia Xia's Mainland region. What did it have to do with the overseas players? Coincidentally, the Xia Xia region's operations had been suspended. If the overseas players increased their leveling speed, they might be able to suppress the Xia Xia players and become the overlords of the Hero's World!

Their compatriots in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan also wanted to help, but they were powerless. They could only express their condolences to the Chinese players.

Dream Entertainment obeyed the Internet Entertainment Review Department's orders and temporarily suspended the Hero's World's operations. This outcome disappointed the gaming operators who were prepared to watch the show. They thought that Dream Entertainment would fight back!

If Dream Entertainment went against the Internet Entertainment Review Department, Dream Entertainment would be severely punished by the Internet Entertainment Review Department. The other gaming operators would be overjoyed. This was because they would not have to worry about Dream Entertainment. The Internet Entertainment Review Department would help them teach Dream Entertainment a lesson.

The Internet Entertainment Review Department was also very disappointed with Dream Entertainment's decision. They requested for Dream Entertainment to stop using the Hero's World entirely. They did not request for a partial suspension of the service.

Feeling that they had been fooled by Dream Entertainment, the Internet Entertainment Review Department immediately reacted and requested that Dream Entertainment completely stop operating in the Brave World. Not only did they have to stop operating in China, but they also had to stop operating overseas.

If not, the Internet Entertainment Review Department will issue a sky-high fine to Dream Entertainment!

Faced with the threat of a sky-high fine, the overseas players started to worry. They did not know if Dream Entertainment could withstand it …
