Chapter 729 Christmas Gift

Looking at the small card in his hand, especially the signature, Alex was shocked.

Although he has been participating in protests and calling on the government to relax unreasonable restrictions on Yunmeng, he actually does not have much substantive connection with Yunmeng.

The last time he had direct contact with Yunmeng was after he was arrested. Yunmeng transnational fished him out along with 17 other people.

After that, Alex didn't want his mother to worry, so he acted much more cautiously and never got into trouble again.

Naturally, he never had any contact with Yunmeng again.

——In fact, he also knew that even if he was caught again, he would not need Yunmeng's help.

Now they organize activities and launch protests, all with the help of the Free Life and Democratic Activities Foundation.

Of course, many people are also secretly speculating about this foundation, thinking that it may be related to Yunmeng, or even established by Yunmeng.

But they are all limited to private speculation because no one can provide evidence.

Of course Lin You would not directly register the foundation in Yunmeng's name.

Moreover, there are four floors between Lin You and the foundation, and two of them are built in small countries where the identity of the shareholders cannot be disclosed.

I don’t know if it can be hidden from the American government, but ordinary people definitely don’t want to find out.

But the absence of evidence does not prevent netizens from thinking so. After all, some things do not require evidence in the first place.

*

It is not uncommon for individuals or organizations to support people like Alex in protesting.

Throughout America, many celebrities, entrepreneurs and rich people have more or less stated that "it is not a wise move to completely reject Yunmeng", "this policy is subject to discussion", "not optimistic", "exacerbating social unrest"

", "Losing votes" and other remarks.

It’s not just solidarity, there’s also a lot of substantive support.

It can even be said that apart from politicians and people with interests, there are only two voices left:

One is hoping to enter the virtual world and thinks the government's approach is somewhat inappropriate.

The other is to keep silent at ordinary times, and when asked by reporters, or when faced with situations where they have to express their opinions, they just say that they are neutral and not paying attention to the issue.

Therefore, when Alex and the others organized protests and called for the relaxation of restrictions in the virtual world, they did not feel alone.

But despite this, there is only one organization like the Free Life and Democratic Activities Foundation that hardly misses a protest or abandons any arrested protester.

Because protests are not always legal and orderly, even if they are at first, once young people become emotional, the situation often gets out of control.

Not to mention that there are many people who use the banner of "protest" but are just for chaos and robbery.

Once something with a relatively bad social impact occurs, public figures and various organizations will avoid it.

Only the Foundation doesn't care at all. As long as someone who truly speaks out for the virtual world is arrested, legal aid will be sent and every possible means will be used to fish them out.

They even set a record of providing material and legal support to 26 protest marches in 14 states in one month.

This approach has led to countless people believing that the foundation is definitely closely related to Yunmeng, even if there is no substantial evidence.

"So...are you not pretending?" Alex thought subconsciously.

But soon, he realized that this was still not conclusive evidence.

Celebrities can also give gifts to fans. It is very reasonable for Lin You to contact the foundation to help give them gifts.

Not to mention that the blessings on the card are all printed...

If this thing is posted online, people may suspect it is fake...

"And... isn't the mirage a contraband? It can actually be mailed??"

This touched upon Alex's knowledge blind spot. He took out his mobile phone and asked in a group that often organizes protests:

“Can Mirage be mailed domestically?”

Many people asked this question:

"Can't? Isn't this thing prohibited?"

"Okay! I've tried."

"I'm surprised too. I received a host as soon as I got up."

“@Alex, I can’t go to the Christmas parade. I have something to do.”

"You have a stupid idea, you want to stay at home secretly and play games, right?"

"Is it wrong for me to want to buy a weapon case belt? Our internet speed is so difficult. When I opened [Assassin's Bloodline], I got dizzy and felt like vomiting. This thing is time-limited, so there's nothing I can do about it!"

"Indeed, this is so unfair to us! I want to protest!"

"Unless you go to the gate of Yunmeng Company to protest, it's probably useless."

"Can you please ask Yunmeng to make this gameplay permanent? Even if the gameplay cannot be permanent, the rewards can be permanent!"

"Indeed, if such a practical thing goes out of print, subsequent players will have to vomit blood. This is unreasonable!"

…

When asking questions in online communities, something like this often happens: after a few sentences, the topic goes off-topic.

Fortunately, there was someone in the group who was engaged in the logistics industry and gave Alex a clear answer:

"It wasn't possible before, especially when the ban was just announced, but now it doesn't matter, just send it as you like."

"Customs is still very stuck, and they won't let one in, but there are basically no restrictions on domestic cross-continental logistics."

After speaking, he also complained: "You can buy guns online, but game consoles are everywhere."

Alex was speechless.

Indeed, calculated this way, game consoles are simply too safe.

Although the government, media, and some conspiracy theorists have been promoting the use of Mirage hosts, it will lead to the leakage of user privacy.

But what Alex and many players are thinking is:

"Not to mention whether this is true or nonsense, even if it is true, my privacy and whoever I want to give it to are none of your business!"

Without saying anything, Alex held the mirage and knocked on his brother's door.

My brother has wanted a Mirage console for a long time, and he will be so happy when he sees this Christmas gift.

*

Not only Alex, but all the "18 Warriors" who were first released on bail will receive this Christmas gift.

Not only these players, but all outstanding employees of [Free Life and Democratic Activities Foundation] will also receive this gift.

Not giving them all was not because Lin You was stingy, but because it was really difficult to give them away.

After all, America's customs are still very strict on the surface. Yunmeng cannot smuggle the console in, and it is impossible to do so.

Lin You paid directly for the hosts that were sent out, and the foundation employees went to Texas border cities to buy them.

Nowadays, in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, in cities close to the border, it is not difficult to find the right way to buy phantoms.

It’s just that the price will be many times more expensive.

Of course, in theory, America is also prohibited from selling consoles.

So in the mouths of both parties to the transaction, this is a "gift".

We all get along quite well, so I'll make a friend and give you a game console as a testimony of our friendship.

Christmas is just around the corner, which is naturally the perfect time to give gifts.

Not only the guys at Epic are sending gifts like crazy, but everyone who can find upstream sources of goods is taking this opportunity to send gifts like crazy.

A steady stream of phantom hosts enter North America from Mexico through underground channels, and then enter the bedrooms of thousands of households through gray transactions in North America.

The number of logged-in players in North America is finally no longer the previous three or two, but has begun to grow explosively!
