Chapter 1102 We Can Pay Firs

Yang Feifei was a normal white-collar worker.

Until a month ago, she lived an ordinary life.

One day, on the Weibo trending page, she saw a blog post about Star Sky Technology’s virtual reality closed beta testing application. This was the first time she heard about the Phantom system and the neural interface system that was going to change the future of human society.

Even though she wasn’t interested in games, she was intrigued by the idea of experiencing another world.

Thus, she jumped on the bandwagon and signed up.

Then…

She realized she was one of the 200 out of 20 million that were selected to join the Star Sky Technology closed beta team.

Honestly, the first closed beta test was boring.

It was boring to do the same things in real life or in a virtual reality world.

However, Star Sky Technology gave her round-trip tickets and five-star hotel accommodation. She participated in the closed beta testing as sort of a vacation, and she did not have many expectations for the Phantom system.

But that was only her experience from the first week.

When the second closed beta testing came around, her impression of the Phantom system had totally changed.

Or rather, she was amazed by it.

The forest presented to the closed beta testers was as real as it could be. The wind blowing on their faces, the sunshine between the tree branches, everything was so realistic.

Other closed beta testers were also in the same environment as her.

She finally understood what Star Sky Technology meant by “experiencing another world”.

In a sense, they were indeed creating another world.

They created a forest that was almost indistinguishable from reality.

Yang Feifei felt like this round of closed beta testing was almost perfect.

If only the accident didn’t happen…

The accident completely destroyed her mood.

When the rotten-faced zombies ran out of the forest, she was petrified.

Especially when she saw the first person getting bit in the neck by the zombie, she fainted on the spot, disconnecting from the equipment.

When she angrily asked the researchers in the laboratory what the zombies were about, the only reply she received was that “there was an accident” and that they were “investigating”.

This incident made her feel terrible.

To her, this meant that someone coded the zombies into the Star Sky Technology servers.

She thought they planned on using the zombies on the closed beta testers since the beginning!

And they purposely didn’t inform the testers in advance!

When she got back to her hotel, she wrote a Weibo post complaining about what happened.

Even though she only had a few hundred followers, ten minutes after she posted her blog, she received a personal message.

The person claimed to be a reporter, and he left his WeChat contact details. He said he wanted to talk with her about what happened during the closed beta test.

Even though she was confused as to how the reporter found her, she still added his WeChat account. She just wanted someone to vent and complain to.

After she briefly explained the situation over messages, the WeChat reporter called her.

“I will give you a million USD. You only need to do one thing.”

Yang Feifei was taken back, and she asked, “What?”

The reporter smiled and said, “You were treated unfairly during the closed beta testing, right? What you need to do is simple, just sue Star Sky Technology for your emotional distress.”

Yang Feifei was dumbfounded.

“Sue Star Sky Technology? Are you crazy?”

Even though she felt uncomfortable during the testing, suing them was going too far.

She didn’t even think about suing them.

The man smiled and shook his head.

“Of course not. I didn’t ask you to win the lawsuit, you just have to file it. You might be countersued, but it doesn’t matter. We will handle all of the costs. You only have to tell the public that Star Sky Technology is a ruthless company that is doing unethical experiments on living humans with no safety guarantees…”

Yang Feifei went silent.

Honestly, a million USD was extremely attractive, especially for an average white-collar worker like her. This was enough to buy a house in Shanghai.

As for losing her closed beta testing qualifications, she didn’t care about that at all. She only participated in this project because everyone else did. She would much rather take a million dollars instead.

However, there was no such thing as a free lunch.

She was about to go against a multi-billion dollar company. Even though this company wouldn’t use illegal means to deal with her, this was still risky for a nobody like her.

Yang Feifei gulped and spoke in a trembling tone.

“What do you guys want?”

“Is that important?” The man smiled and said, “If you need a reason to convince yourself, tell yourself that you’re fighting for justice, for those that don’t have a voice. After all, I’m sure most people didn’t enjoy the zombies eating their faces.”

Yang Feifei: “One more question… Who are you guys?”

“That’s not important. This is a business deal.”

Yang Feifei said angrily, “I don’t even know who you guys are, why would I trust that you’re going to pay?”

“That’s what you’re worried about? No worries, that’s easy to solve.” The man smiled and said, “Give me your bank account.

“We can pay first.”
