Chapter 182: Chapter 104: Incoming Call Request (Request for Monthly Ticket)_3

A hacked game link? What is this?

He immediately hit reply and began to organize his words.

Earth Alliance-Human Clan Center: I am not clear about what you mean by hacked link, can you please elaborate?

Shortly after, a response from the Moon Eclipse Clan arrived.

Earth Alliance-Moon Eclipse Center: This information was initially provided by the Human Clan Federation-Star Network Security Center; you might wish to consult with them for details.

Seeing the reply, Wu Gui couldn’t help but internally complain about the trouble.

He was certain that the Moon Eclipse Clan could connect to the Star Network Security Center at any time if they wished, yet they were going through him for communication, which was merely a formality to appear sufficiently respectful.

But since the Moon Eclipse Clan had given him this task, he naturally could not refuse the request.

He pressed the function key on his desk, and light interweaved into a screen from the ceiling. Selecting the Star Network Security Center from the contacts list, Wu Gui made the call.

It wasn’t long before the connection was established.

On the screen appeared a resolute-looking middle-aged man with a short beard, wearing the blue uniform of a Star Network supervisor. He looked puzzled as he faced Wu Gui.

Before Wu Gui could speak, the other party took the initiative:

"Xiao Wu, have you received the extra game privileges from the Moon Eclipse Clan?"

Wu Gui: ...

Faced with the question, Wu Gui remained silent for a moment before nodding:

"Yes, I’ve received 500 slots, but..."

"We from the Star Network Security Center would like 50 of them."

"Big brother, I’m just responsible for receiving the slots. How they are allocated is decided by the Supreme Council – I don’t have the authority to give them to you. If I had that power, I’d give all 500 slots to you, even the dogs in your department would get one."

Seeing Wu Gui’s helpless expression as he responded, the middle-aged man on the screen laughed heartily:

"I’m just kidding. What do you need?"

Faced with the question, Wu Gui became serious and explained the request from the Moon Eclipse Clan in detail.

After listening to his explanation, the middle-aged man on the screen slightly furrowed his brows:

"Why would the Moon Eclipse Clan throw this problem at us? The Star Network can always investigate the download information for the hacked link, as well as the specific number of downloads... it seems there truly is an issue within the Moon Eclipse Clan?"

"What do you mean?" Wu Gui appeared very astonished.

"Some time ago, a download link appeared on the Human Star Network that led to a hacked version of Dark Land. To clarify the situation, we asked for assistance from the highest-level Intelligent Brain within the Human Clan Federation. However, we discovered that even with the Brain’s authority, we could not open the link’s address, nor trace who exactly had downloaded the hacked version of Dark Land from the Star Network."

"For this problem, we have a conjecture that there might be an issue within the Moon Eclipse Clan. The hacked download link was definitely leaked from within their ranks, which is why even the highest-level Brain cannot access this link or trace the information behind it."

"Now that you mention it, the Moon Eclipse Clan wants to know how many people in the Human Clan Federation Star Network have downloaded the hacked version of Dark Land through the link, which further confirms our suspicions."

"They did not inquire with the Star Network’s AI but came to you instead through me, which is extremely unusual. I even suspect there might be rebellious elements against the Star Network within the Moon Eclipse Clan; hence they bypassed the Star Network and came directly to you for information."

At this point, the middle-aged man’s expression turned somewhat strange:

"What I can’t understand is why they would establish contact with you over the internet – they could have met with you in person. Their actions seem to be entirely exposed to Star Network surveillance... unless, there is a possibility they used some kind of shielding technique to evade the Star Network’s monitoring of the internet world when they contacted you."

A fierce analysis like this left Wu Gui stunned and then he couldn’t help but ask:

"Do we need to give a response to the Moon Eclipse Clan?"

"Tell them, we also do not know how many Human Clan members downloaded the hacked game, as our Brain has no authority to follow the clues. As far as I know, only a few researchers from the Sky Dome Research and Development Center’s Weapon Development Department and Genetic Research Department have obtained the hacked game access..."

After listening to the middle-aged man, Wu Gui nodded:

"Okay, I will reply to the Moon Eclipse Clan as you have suggested. That is all."

He hung up the phone and immediately replied to the Moon Eclipse Clan.

Earth Alliance-Human Clan Center: The Human Clan’s highest intelignet Brain cannot trace the details through the hacked link. I can confirm that there are 74 players who have downloaded the hacked game content. As for how many others have obtained access, it is impossible to tell.

One minute later, a new email arrived from the Moon Eclipse Clan.

Earth Alliance-Moon Eclipse Center: We appreciate the information provided by our Human Clan allies.

After the exchange ended, Wu Gui immediately got busy, sending the 500 game access slots given by the Moon Eclipse Clan to the Human Clan’s Supreme Council, no longer needing to worry about how they would be allocated.

Just then, another new email from the Moon Eclipse Clan came in.

This puzzled Wu Gui quite a bit.

It was unusual for the Moon Eclipse Center, which he hardly managed to contact even a few times a month, to now be frequently sending messages.

With curiosity, he opened the email.

The content of the email dumbfounded him.

The email from the Moon Eclipse Clan was inquiring whether the Human Clan needed to submit an additional request for currency exchange, using eclipse coins or even general earth coins in large amounts to exchange for the Human Clan’s credit coins.

If the email did not carry the red "verified" mark in the title, he would have suspected it was a scam.

But the content was simply incredible.

The Human Clan had always had a trade deficit with the Moon Eclipse Clan. Initially, the Moon Eclipse Clan stockpiled a large amount of the Human Clan Federation’s credit points and was continually returning them each year under the guise of aiding development.

After all, the Moon Eclipse Clan did not lack anything produced by the Human Clan Federation.

At most, they would purchase some ordinary spiritual materials cultivated in the vast territories of the Human Clan, which was the largest trade expenditure for the Moon Eclipse Clan on the Human Clan.

In recent years, as the Moon Eclipse Clan was facing development bottlenecks, they no longer accepted credit coins from the Human Clan Federation, only willing to take the Earth Alliance’s general earth coins.

Usually, it was the Human Clan Center that would ask the Moon Eclipse Clan if there was any need for currency exchange.

But the answer from the Moon Eclipse Clan was always negative.

Now suddenly seeing an email from the Moon Eclipse Clan expressing their desire to use eclipse coins or even general earth coins to exchange for Human Clan’s credit coins made him feel the information was unreal.

Cupping his chin, Wu Gui stared at the email content on the screen, his eyes narrowed in thought:

"Could it be that the Moon Eclipse wants to purchase a large amount of the Human Clan Federation’s spiritual resources recently?"

"Or is there a major breakthrough in some new technology developed by the Human Clan that the Moon Eclipse Clan wants to procure?"

"But I’ve received no notification of such."

"Tsk, so strange... I have to report this quickly."
