Xia Xia's time, June 4th, 76: 55 pm.
Lijian Province's time, June 4th, 4: 55 am.
Dream Entertainment's official website had announced the event location and time last night. It was June 4th, 7: 55 pm local time in Lijian Province. The location was at the intersection of Broadway and West 97nd Street, which was also Times Square.
Shi Lei rented the top floor of the Rudi Building in Times Square through CRG. The Rudi Building was located in the southwest corner of Times Square. The top floor of the Rudi Building was mainly used for various gatherings. One could stand on the top floor of the Rudi Building and overlook the night view of Times Square.
CRG was a risk control organization, a world-renowned security company. As for Xia Xia's famous Black Water Company, Shi Lei did not trust them. This company was very famous and occupied a lot of space in some of Xia Xia's literary works. Some people who did not understand even exaggerated that Black Water was a company that all security personnel in the world wanted to join.
In fact, Black Water Company was very notorious. The company's scandals were endless, including prisoner abuse, shooting civilians, organizing massacres, smuggling firearms, and so on.
How could Shi Lei hire such a scandal-ridden security company as Dream Entertainment's on-site security personnel?
CRG's reputation as a risk control organization was much better. When Dream Entertainment confirmed the event location, CRG began to build a security defense system.
Shi Lei did not arrange for the members of the Punishment Mercenary Team to set up the venue's security. Instead, he prepared player identities for Ye Feng and the other four. They would participate in the activities organized by Dream Entertainment as participating players.
In addition to the CRG risk control organization in the open and the Punishment Mercenary Team in the dark, Shi Lei also arranged a third force.
The third force was the surveillance cameras controlled by Izur!
The security cameras in the Rudi Building were completely controlled by Izur, including the cameras set up by the CRS risk control organization on the 33th floor of the Rudi Building. They were also controlled by Izur.
The players who participated in the event all used the somatosensory operating system. In other words, their dynamic behavior and facial features were all recorded and stored by Dream Entertainment.
Therefore, Dream Entertainment managed to track down the true identities of all the participants. The moment they stepped into the Rudi Building, Izur used the dynamic behavior recognition engine and the human facial recognition engine to determine their identities. Any players who were not invited by Dream Entertainment and did not sign up for the event would be automatically marked by Izur. Izur would then inform the CRG risk control team to deal with them.
Before the registration period ended, the number of players participating in this event, including the invited players, was limited to 675. After all, it was an indoor venue. It was impossible for too many players to enter.
Some players from Lijian Province were dissatisfied with the fact that there were less than a hundred players participating in the event. However, most of the dissatisfied players were low-level players, and there were not many of them. Therefore, Dream Entertainment chose to ignore them.
Dream Entertainment's method of randomly selecting players for the event made Gabriel and Raphael feel a little heartbroken. Fortunately, under Shi Lei's instructions, Gabriel and Raphael broke through the event registration system and successfully registered Raphael for the event.
As for Gabriel, he felt that if he and Raphael participated in the event using 'unconventional methods', they might attract Dream Entertainment's attention. Gabriel did not use such an inappropriate method. He was very meticulous. He would not allow such a low-level mistake to occur.
There was another reason why Gabriel and Raphael did not choose to continue using the invasion method to obtain more players.
That was Izur's autonomous defense system!
Shi Lei only allowed Gabriel and Raphael to invade once. Shi Lei purposely sent out the location of the event in advance to reveal the information to Gabriel and Raphael. Gabriel had lived in New York for a long time. He definitely knew about the situation in the Rudi Building. He would also understand that there were not many players participating in this event.
According to the comparison of the number of people who signed up and the number of players who were participating, Gabriel and Raphael could only prioritize Raphael's entry. As for the two main combat teams of the Devil Mercenary Group, they could not enter for the time being.
The invasion plan was only used once before it was blocked by Izur. This result was also expected by Gabriel and Raphael. The Angel Council had already confirmed that Dream Entertainment had a pseudo-artificial intelligence system.
Gabriel did not need to use hacking methods to obtain a spot for the event. He chose a more reliable and convenient method.
Previously, Gabriel and Shi Lei had left a 'good relationship'. Shi Lei had even called Gabriel. Using this relationship, Gabriel found Shi Lei and expressed his desire to participate in Dream Entertainment's event. Shi Lei took advantage of the situation and gave Gabriel the right to participate in the event.
Gabriel even secretly despised Shi Lei's stupidity in her heart when she received the qualification for the event so easily. However, who was the stupidest?
…
Time passed quickly. Lijian Province, June 4th, 6: 85 pm.
Shi Lei took a bulletproof Mercedes-Benz sedan and arrived at the Rudi Building in the southwest corner of Times Square. Xiao Bo acted as Shi Lei's driver. When Xiao Bo drove the car into the underground parking lot, they had already entered Izur's defense zone.
The entire underground parking lot was controlled by CRG. The risk control organization had strengthened the monitoring range and achieved zero blind spots. In order to ensure safety, CRG arranged a small team of security personnel in the underground parking lot. This was to deal with any accidents that might happen, especially if unauthorized personnel tried to force their way in.
The bulletproof Mercedes-Benz sedan was parked near the elevator. There were security cameras in the elevator. The security cameras were equipped with a dynamic behavior recognition engine, a human facial recognition engine, and a text recognition engine.
The text recognition engine determined the person entering the elevator and the number of floors they chose. The dynamic behavior recognition engine and the human facial recognition engine determined the identity of the person entering the elevator.
If the person entering the elevator chose the 33th floor of Dream Entertainment's event, his identity would not be recognized. Izur would automatically notify the CRG risk control organization and stop the elevator at the corresponding floor. It would be convenient for the CRG risk control organization to interrogate the relevant personnel.
Shi Lei smoothly arrived at the 33th floor. When he walked out of the elevator, Shi Lei encountered CRG's security measures again. There were three metal detection doors and nine security personnel.
The metal detection doors could effectively detect whether the items carried by the players violated the rules without violating the right to privacy. This was to prevent related personnel from bringing firearms and metal weapons into Dream Entertainment's event site.
The five members of the Punishment Mercenary Team were allowed to bring weapons into the event site under Shi Lei's special instructions. This was to prevent accidents from happening. The members of the Punishment Mercenary Team would have the power to fight back.
Shi Lei passed through the metal detection doors and entered Dream Entertainment's event site. There were already some players at Dream Entertainment's event site.
According to Izur's feedback, both Gabriel and Raphael had yet to arrive at the event site. Once they arrived, Izur would automatically notify Shi Lei.
Dream Entertainment's event in New York City was mainly a player appreciation party. According to the name of the event, Dream Entertainment was mainly thanking the players who supported Dream Moon. This was also the reason why Dream Entertainment had specially invited some players.
The appreciation party was very casual. Other than the opening speech and the lucky draw at the end, the rest of the time was free for the players to interact. It was the process of holding a wine glass and making friends.
Most of the people who could spend a lot of money in the Brave Warriors' World were really rich. With such a platform, they might be able to find partners and develop connections.
This was one of the purposes of Dream Entertainment's appreciation party.
Shi Lei and Xiao Bo were holding a goblet, which was half filled with wine that was as red as blood. It was a pity that Shi Lei was not interested in wine. There was not much difference between expensive wine and ordinary wine in Shi Lei's eyes.
"Manager Shi, you'll be the one to give the opening speech later!" Xiao Bo said.
Dream Entertainment's Lijian Province branch was about to be established. Xiao Bo would be the person-in-charge of the branch. Shi Lei intended to let Xiao Bo handle the opening speech of the appreciation party. It was also a warm-up for Xiao Bo's identity.
Shi Lei thought for a while and nodded. "No problem! But I'll only announce that we'll be establishing a branch in Lijian Province and introduce you. "
Xiao Bo smiled bitterly and nodded. He did not refuse.
"Sir, the target, Gabriel, is coming up in the elevator." Izur's cold voice came from Shi Lei's Bluetooth earpiece.
An inexplicable smile appeared on Shi Lei's face. If Shi Lei's predictions were correct, Gabriel and Raphael would not come together. Furthermore, Gabriel would definitely arrive first.
Gabriel and Shi Lei had met once before. Shi Lei had specially invited Gabriel. Therefore, Gabriel would definitely come over first and pester Shi Lei so that Raphael could come in and find a suitable spot to provide convenience.
When Gabriel entered the event venue, it was already 6: 90 pm. Dream Entertainment's official event would begin in 60 minutes.
"Hello, Mr. Shi!" Just as Shi Lei had predicted, Gabriel immediately found Shi Lei after entering the event venue. She took the initiative to chat with Shi Lei to attract his attention.
Shi Lei replied politely, "Hello, Mr. Johnson!"
"Mr. Shi, as a fan of Dream Entertainment's World of the Brave, it's my great honor to participate in this event. I wish the event a success in advance and wish Hero's World of the Brave a better global performance. " Gabriel was a little enthusiastic. Although this was in line with her identity, Shi Lei used to be very familiar with Gabriel.
"Thank you!" Shi Lei replied politely. He sneered inwardly as he watched Gabriel's performance. What seemed like a perfect performance was full of holes in Shi Lei's eyes.
Gabriel continued to talk about Hero's World of the Brave's achievements. She was mainly praising Hero's World of the Brave and Dream Entertainment. Shi Lei chatted with Gabriel with a smile on his face, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other in years.
While they were chatting happily, Izur's cold voice came through the earpiece again.
"Sir, the target, Raphael, is found. Estimated time, she will arrive at the event venue in 6 minute and 05 seconds."
Raphael was the main character of this event.
Shi Lei more or less guessed Gabriel and Raphael's plan. It was because Shi Lei had guessed their plan that he didn't want to kill Gabriel and Raphael.
Even though Shi Lei could kill them easily, Shi Lei did not want to do so.
