746 Chapter 784: Yang Rui’s situation (part one)
At the same time, in southern Texas, Yang Rui’s investigation was not going well!
First, there was the interference of information. Yang Rui found that there was a hidden force that was interfering with them getting the real information about those players, including the location that did not match, the name that did not match, and the large number of spammers that suddenly appeared in the market… …
This made him run a lot of errands during this period of time. Every time he found someone, he would apologize to them on the information. This situation made Yang Rui feel an unusual sense of panic. Could it be that this force already had complete control over the American Internet?
What else was there to play?
The frequent mistakes in the internet made the Huo family feel strange and decided to use the government’s power to help investigate. Among the Huo family’s current political forces, Texas was the place with the most solid foundation.
Since the rise of the Huo family 30 years ago, the Huo family’s grandfather had set up Texas as his family’s base of operations. Regardless of whether it was business or politics, he had invested a lot of money and influence here.
Since 30 years ago, the five governors here had a close relationship with the Huo family, so the grandfather easily asked the local government to use the government’s network to help with the investigation.
Fortunately, the secret force did not seem to be able to control the government network, so it finally opened up a path for Yang Rui and the others. However, this also made the old man pay more attention to it.
Even though the secret force could not interfere with the government network, it was able to operate the social network and manipulate the Huo family, the local leader. This at least proved that there was indeed a secret force…
As for whether this hidden force was the alien force that Yang Rui mentioned, or the force that collaborated with Yang Rui to deliberately set a trap for the Huo family, it was hard to say… …
At this time, on the official road in Texas, Yang Rui and his group were driving a Ford f-series pickup truck to a remote town in southern Texas.
According to the local state’s official online data, at least three netizens there had exposed this game called Galaxy on the American Gaming Forum.
The uploaded pictures were very similar to the ones uploaded by domestic players. They were all promoting the fact that this game was real and not an online scam. Of course, the comments below were all in disbelief. They all thought that they were paid Internet trolls.
After all, someone had already confirmed through human flesh search that there were indeed many internet trolls bragging about this game in the United States. This also increased the difficulty of Yang Rui and the others’investigation. Not only did they have to face information that could be changed at any time by secret forces, but they also had to face many fake internet trolls, they also had to face a lot of fake internet trolls.
Fortunately, there was the help of the local authorities this time to investigate. Otherwise, Yang Rui alone would not be able to get any results even if he investigated for a few years.
In the car, other than Yang Rui, there were four other Chinese people. One of them was his good friend, second brother Huo: Huo Xiaoxing. The remaining three were the Chinese bodyguards around the old man.
The Huo family company was also very xenophobic when it came to internal hiring. They treated the Chinese very well. Be it the higher-ups in charge of technology or the company’s business, 80% of them were hired Chinese, and the security force was even more so, the old man seemed to believe in the Chinese bodyguards who were born in the special forces.
Regarding this point, Yang Rui was very respectful. In this day and age, there were actually not many Chinese people who were so brazen in giving preferential treatment to Chinese people abroad. Many Chinese people who made a name for themselves here rarely took care of their own countrymen, indeed, this point wasn’t as well done by the Chinese people as those from Ah San or the universe country.
“Little Yang, I really didn’t think that the old man would believe your science fiction story…”Huo Xiao Xing sat in the car, looking at Yang Rui with some amus.e.m.e.nt, “Brother, can you tell me what exactly are you planning?”
He was the same as his big brothers, he didn’t believe Yang Rui’s nonsense. However, the enmity in his heart wasn’t as heavy as his big brothers. After all, Yang Rui had indeed saved his and the old man’s lives in China back then.
Yang Rui did not answer this question. He knew that if he did not let the other party see this, no matter how close they were, they would not believe him.
So, he changed the topic and asked, “From California, every time you go to the countryside, you have to drive a pickup truck. Do you have any obsession with pickup trucks?”
“You don’t understand…”. Pickup trucks were very popular in America Huo xiaoxing smiled and said, “Especially in Texas. There are many ranchers here. Whether it’s cleaning the lawn or pulling the feed, pickup trucks are not practical. I don’t understand this domineering and useful car. Why is it so unpopular in the country?”
Yang Rui lowered his head and thought for a moment. “I don’t know either. The main thing is that we give people the feeling that pickup trucks are just for pulling pigs. It’s a little low-cla.s.s…”
Huo Xiaoxing:”…”
Seeing that the other party was embarra.s.sed, Yang Rui changed the topic and said, “Actually, life here is not bad. The weather is good, and the road conditions are quite good. Also, I feel that the driving atmosphere here is very good. Basically, no one overtakes you.”
Huo Xiaoxing: “Don’t you know that if you overtake someone here, they can just shoot you without being sentenced?”
“There’s such a tough law?”Yang Rui was stunned… …
It seemed that it was safer to stay in the country. This foreign country that would pull out a gun at the slightest disagreement was really not suited to his worldview…
“We’re Here!”Just as Yang Rui was about to use another topic to stall for time, Huo Xiaoxing suddenly stepped on the brake.
Yang Rui looked up and saw a red house erected in the distance. The house was clearly surrounded by a large cattle ranch…
“Let’s check the information…”Huo Xiaoxing took out her phone and opened the information. “Murray Davis, 17 years old, male, ethnic German. He just graduated in 12th grade and was admitted to the University of Houston with excellent results in applied biology…”
“Applied biology… it’s hard to find a job here, right?”Yang Rui asked curiously.
Huo Xiaoxing said, “According to the information, his family’s ranch is well-run and relatively well-off, and he’s the only child. His family plans to nurture him into a doctor…”
Yang Rui nodded. There was no medical school in America for undergraduate students. Only after undergraduate students could apply for medical school. Therefore, most people who wanted to study medicine would study subjects that were advantageous to medicine, biology was one of the better subjects.
However, the cost was also relatively high. It would be more troublesome if they did not pa.s.s the exam. Moreover, the cost of studying medicine in America was very high. In a few years, it would cost at least a million federal dollars. It was not something that an average family could afford.
Therefore, even if the family had a little money, they would still seriously consider letting their children choose this path. This was because once they failed to get into medical school, it would be difficult for them to find a high-paying job with just a degree in biology.
Unless the child’s learning ability was exceptionally outstanding…
Thinking of this, Yang Rui took Huo Xiaoxing’s phone and carefully looked at the information. The information showed that this child named Mai Rui’s learning ability was very outstanding since he was young, it was no wonder that a ranch family dared to let him go to medical school in the end.
This was in line with the range of the mysterious force’s selection of population…
According to the investigation during this period of time, he actually also discovered that the mysterious force behind Galaxy game was not only selecting players based on a low-profile family environment, but also seemed to have a clear bias toward those children with excellent grades…
It seemed that they had come to the right place this time…
The few of them looked at each other, then got off the car and quietly sneaked over.
The ranch was very big. From Afar, they could see a middle-aged man operating a robot to manage the ranch.
Huo Xiaoxing sent one of his men to ask for directions as an excuse to stall the other party, while the few of them quietly sneaked into the Red House at the back.
The country villa in America naturally did not have many security facilities. The few of them were all born in special forces. Even Huo Xiaoxing had received military training when he was young, so they easily climbed to the second floor from the side, soon, they found the room of Mai Rui.
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but at this time, the child named Mai Rui was opening the game cabin and lying inside. Yang Rui was stunned when he saw this, and his eyes flashed with joy. He thought to himself, I’m lucky this time.
Otherwise, it’s actually quite uncomfortable to hide outside in such a hot day, and it’s easy to be discovered…
When Huo Xiaoxing saw Yang Rui’s excited expression, she instantly hesitated. Could it be that this guy had really seen someone disappear from the game cabin?
The few of them sneaked in and connected to the outside of the game cabin with the machine they had prepared beforehand. In an instant, the tablet-like object in Huo Xiaoxing’s hand displayed an image, it was the image of the game cabin being operated.
The few of them immediately held their breaths as they looked at the screen…
They saw that the child opened the game called Galaxy without any hesitation after entering the game cabin!
At this moment, the hearts of the few of them jumped to their throats. Although they did not really trust Yang Rui, there was still a trace of antic.i.p.ation in the depths of their hearts. After all, Yang Rui had been too serious previously. It really did not seem like he was fooling them.
Just as everyone was feeling complicated emotions, a cold mechanical voice came from the game storage: entering the game, 5,4,3,2… …
