Chapter 1023

.

Xiao Bo and Shi Lei had become friends after exchanging blows. Xiao Bo was now in charge of Dream Entertainment's Lijian Province branch.

Shi Lei received Xiao Bo's call and wondered what good news Xiao Bo had. However, Shi Lei could not think of any good news from Lijian Province.

"What's the good news?" Shi Lei could not guess the answer so he asked directly.

"The supercomputer that AMD gave us is about to be assembled. It is now in the final stage and is expected to be completed within 79 hours." Xiao Bo reported the good news.

Shi Lei was slightly stunned. As most of his attention was occupied by Mu Shuang and Lingyumo's virus infection, Shi Lei had forgotten about AMD's supercomputer.

Mirui Technology Group currently owned 45% of AMD's shares. Shi Lei decided to assemble the supercomputer that AMD gave to Dream Entertainment at AMD's headquarters.

Originally, this matter was expected to be completed in the middle of June. It was now the 61th of June and should be completed according to the original plan.

"Xiao Bo, are you at AMD's headquarters now?" Xiao Bo was in charge of New York City in Lijian Province while AMD's headquarters was in California's Silicon Valley. How did Xiao Bo know that AMD's headquarters was about to complete the supercomputer?

"No, I'm in New York City. AMD's branch in New York City specifically came to inform me. It seems like they can't contact you, boss? "Xiao Bo replied.

"Can't contact you?" Shi Lei immediately used hand signals to command Izur to check the relevant phone records. On the screen of server number one, it showed that one of the calls was from AMD. However, because this call was not from AMD's headquarters and Shi Lei was not in China, Izur stopped it.

"Yes, I got it." Shi Lei replied casually as if a supercomputer with a performance of 855 TFLOPS did not surprise him.

Xiao Bo said awkwardly, "Boss, that's a supercomputer with a performance of 855 TFLOPS. Don't you want to come and take a look?"

"No need! There are still many things to do. I'll leave this matter to you. Let AMD complete the assembly and testing work as soon as possible. This supercomputer with a computing performance of 855 TFLOPS must be put into use before the 70th! Do you understand? "Shi Lei set a final completion date for AMD.

The 70th of this month was a big day for Dream Entertainment. Dream Entertainment's only online game, World of Heroes, was about to launch its first Martial Arts Tournament.

This competition had a huge impact on the global scale. Not only were there a large number of Xia Xia players participating, but there were also many overseas players participating as well. The prize money for the first Martial Arts Tournament had reached the highest level in the world and brought a lot of attention to it.

The main server used by Dream Entertainment was the supercomputer, Origin. Its computing power was only 65 tflops. Under normal circumstances, the supercomputer Origin and the IWN Secret Network could support the entire Hero's World.

After all, although the Hero's World was said to have tens of millions of players, these players were not always online at the same time. Moreover, they were scattered across a wide area and not in the same area.

When the number of players in the same area in the Hero's World exceeded a certain number, it would create a huge burden on the supercomputer Origin and the IWN Secret Network.

In Shi Lei's plan, AMD's supercomputer was to be used as a strong support for the first Martial Arts Tournament. Using the supercomputer Origin to power the IWN Secret Network would not be able to fully utilize the IWN Secret Network's capabilities. Only a supercomputer with more computing power would be able to fully utilize the IWN Secret Network's capabilities.

The performance of the advanced artificial intelligence system, Izur, was also limited by the supercomputer Origin. Currently, Izur's overall performance was less than 0% of its original performance. If a supercomputer with a computing performance of 855 TFLOPS was used, Izur's overall performance would be at least 0%!

The more powerful Izur's overall performance was, the more powerful it would be in terms of parallel computing!

"Alright, you're the boss. You have the final say," Xiao Bo said helplessly. Xiao Bo said helplessly. "By the way, Boss, can Dream Entertainment's employees participate in the Hero's World's First Martial Arts Tournament?" Xiao Bo asked.

Under normal circumstances, if a company organized an event, to avoid suspicion of shady dealings, there would be explicit rules prohibiting the company's employees and their relatives from participating.

However, in reality, for events with such rules, the rewards of the event would most likely be shady dealings. There was no doubt about that. If an event that lacked open, fair, and transparent operations was said to have no shady dealings, it would definitely be treating the participants as idiots.

Dream Entertainment's first Martial Arts Tournament did not have a hard and fast rule that prohibited employees from participating. This was because even the employees did not know the details of the Hero's World!

The biggest feature of the Hero's World was that it had highly intelligent non-player controlled characters and all sorts of strange random missions. These were all controlled by the advanced artificial intelligence system, Izur. Dream Entertainment's employees did not know the inside story of the Hero's World.

"You can participate!" Shi Lei replied affirmatively. "Why? You want to participate? I remember that you didn't play the Hero's World before. You're playing now? What level are you? "

Xiao Bo chuckled. "Level 62. My level isn't high, but it's not low either. I can't get the top 6,555 rewards, but the victory reward is not a problem. I believe that I can win at least three matches! "

"If you want to play, then go ahead! You're just a Level 62 noob. Be careful that you don't get trampled on until you vomit blood! "Shi Lei mocked him on purpose.

Currently, the top players in the Hero's World had already exceeded Level 75. According to Izur's estimation, the highest level player could reach Level 70 by the time the tournament started on June 70th.

Although the level suppression in the Hero's World wasn't particularly obvious, higher levels meant better techniques, better equipment, and stronger stats. Xiao Bo was only Level 62, and in the Hero's World Ranking, he was at least behind the 8,555,555th rank.

"Boss, don't scare me. As long as I win one match and get the victory reward, I won't lose anything!" Xiao Bo laughed out loud. Then, he said worriedly, "Boss, will this victory reward cause a financial crisis in the game? What if the players get too many high level items? The game's progress will be sped up! "

Shi Lei sneered. "Xiao Bo, you're too stupid! You don't have to worry about this! Right, now that you mention it, I thought of something. There are a lot of economic talents in Lijian Province, right? Help me recruit some economic talents, especially those related to inflation and currency. "

"Uh, Boss, what do you want to do?" Although Xiao Bo and Shi Lei's relationship was that of a superior and subordinate, Xiao Bo still treated Shi Lei as his benefactor and friend, so he spoke freely.

"Economic talents, of course they'll be dealing with economic problems! Alright, don't ask too much. Pay more attention to this matter. " Shi Lei didn't say too much. It wasn't that Shi Lei didn't trust Xiao Bo, but some things were too shocking. It was better to keep a low profile until the last moment.

Moreover, the plan in Shi Lei's mind could only be pushed out after Armageddon War was released. Right now, he just needed to prepare the talent pool and the preliminary work.

"Yes, Boss, I've noted it down. If there are any suitable talents, I'll keep an eye out," Xiao Bo answered affirmatively, showing that he had already noted it down.

"That's all then. I still have things to do." Shi Lei hung up the call and sat in front of the first server, checking the situation in the World of Heroes.

As the date of the first Martial Arts Tournament approached, the smell of gunpowder in the World of Heroes grew stronger. Some schemes that were not usually seen were being played out almost every day.

The death penalty in the World of Heroes was very severe. In the current environment where the highest level was only level 79, if a player died with an incomplete corpse, they would have to immediately delete their account and create a new one. It could be said that after working hard for decades, they were back to square one. Players who were above level 65 would have a chance to be reborn if their bodies were complete.

Even if they were reborn, the loss of the player would not be small. At the very least, the items on their bodies would all be taken away by the killer.

However, compared to the severity of the death penalty, the killer's punishment was also very severe. As the saying went, a life for a life. In the World of Heroes' setting of the ancient Xia Dynasty, this was no joke!

Once the killer left behind a clue, it was very likely that they would be caught by the constables sent by the government. That would be the unlucky ending of an afternoon execution.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the environment in the World of Heroes was relatively peaceful. Unless a player was courting death and offended someone, or purposely ran deep into the mountains or forests. This kind of behavior was definitely an amusing act that would summon one's enemies to surround and kill them!

The World of Heroes was not a game that relied on killing to maintain its thrill. The huge game background and missions, as well as highly intelligent characters that were not controlled by the player, were the essence of the World of Heroes.

Knock, knock, knock!

Shi Lei, who was checking the situation in the World of Heroes, heard a knock on the door. Shi Lei did not even raise his head and directly asked, "Izur, who is knocking on the door?"

Izur replied, "Sir, it's Bai Qiang from the Shuangqing City Police Department outside."

Bai Qiang?

Bai Qiang was the Chief of the Shuangqing City Police Department. Moreover, after the death of the First Deputy Chief, Dai Guanghua, Bai Qiang had become the absolute ruler of the Shuangqing City Police Department.

"Bai Qiang, what is he doing here?"
