Moreover, this sweeping plugin was sent to the Cybersecurity Bureau for a specialized inspection.

It was confirmed not to breach user privacy, only intended to detect any abnormal attempts to alter "Pubg" related data.

Considered a minor feature launched by the game developer to protect the lifespan of their game, it naturally received the Cybersecurity Bureau’s stamp of approval.

Although the plugin was in place, it still required the expenditure of a portion of human resources.

This team of technical staff needed to filter out reports of abnormal information from over 30 million automated scans each day.

And manually perform a secondary check against the data reports.

In order to avoid mistakenly penalizing players affected by network fluctuations.

They would then put the anomalies that survived the second check through a third round of scrutiny.

To guard against persistent network instability in users.

Finally, a rigorous inspection was carried out.

The stringent check involved a detailed, thorough sweep of the user’s computer, avoiding private data, and solely detecting the presence of auxiliary plugins that modify "Pubg" data permissions.

If a player still presented issues after this inspection,

their account would be permanently banned.

At the same time, a customer service channel for banned accounts was opened, serving as the last line of defense.

To prevent unnecessary misunderstandings in cases where players might have unmentionable "study" software on their computers that they could be using while gaming.

In such cases, players were able to approach customer service with screenshots and proof, requesting to have their accounts unblocked.

As long as they had the nerve to come forward and proved their innocence, the ban would be lifted!

Everybody is a grown man, and it’s not unheard of getting carried away, right? It’s not like this isn’t understandable.

This watertight combo effectively wiped out the living environment for most cheats in one fell swoop.

However, Ke Jin profoundly felt the significant expense involved in this process.

Currently, just for handling the gaming environment of 400,000 sales,

the company had to hire over 50 new technicians specifically for the task.

And 10 customer service reps to handle the banned accounts.

The base salary for these technical positions starts at over 10,000; offer less, and people wouldn’t be interested.

This meant that casual monthly expenses could amount to a loss of six to seven hundred thousand.

And "Pubg" was still in a phase of ramping up efforts.

As time went on, the scope of data monitoring would grow ever larger, and the human resources needed would become increasingly exaggerated.

The annual expenditure dedicated to combating cheats could well run into tens of millions.

No wonder many gaming companies do not want to deal with this.

Capital pursues profit, and making money is all that matters.

You want me to spend money just to optimize your actual experience?

No way! Making do isn’t the same as being unable to play.

Optimizing your recharging experience would be more like it.

However, over two days of data comparison, Ke Jin noticed that the cheats were beginning to multiply exponentially.

On the first day of the release, by the end of the night, there were only about a dozen confirmed cheat cases.

But on the second day, despite such stringent sweeping and banning,

the active cheat data still shot up to 200 cases.

An increase of twentyfold!

Clearly, the booming popularity of "Pubg" also meant that a vast new cheat market was stirring, with numerous small plugin-writing studios eyeing this lucrative opportunity.

Even under such severe suppression, they popped up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

"Mr. Ke, these constantly emerging cheating players are tough to handle..." Gou Chehua had seen everything his boss had done.

But he was also aware,

Mr. Ke had done everything to the extreme.

Being able to suppress most of the cheats is already fantastic, far beyond what other inactive manufacturers can achieve.

For the remaining few, even Mr. Ke has no good solutions.

It’s nothing more than a cumbersome game of whack-a-mole, taking each one out as it pops up.

But the next moment, Ke Jin casually made a suggestion that caused Gou Chehua to shiver violently.

"Let the programming department set up a data interface, ban all the abnormal accounts from the previous day, and directly match all newly identified data anomalies in the same matchmaking pool. If they love to cheat so much, then let them play against other cheaters."

"Holy shit..." Gou Chehua hadn’t finished speaking in surprise.

When he heard Ke Jin continue.

"Also, go to Shark Platform and open an official ’Pubg’ livestream room."

At first, Gou Chehua was stunned.

But soon after making the connection, he trembled with excitement, "Holy shit! Mr. Ke, this method is brilliant!!"

"I’ll arrange it right away!!"

————

Ke Jin had already thought of a way to deal with the problem.

But he hit a snag on an seemingly insignificant detail.

The official livestream room needed a host to commentate the real-time OB camera shots.

Someone who could inform players who clicked into the livestream room exactly what was being broadcast at first glance.

So as to expand the deterrent effect of killing one to warn a hundred to the greatest extent.

And incidentally shame those FPS manufacturers who do nothing about cheats, especially Netcom.

See if it would rouse Lu Long, who has been as quiet as the dead, to quickly implement the necessary banning measures.

For fuck’s sake, if you don’t hurry up, my game’s sales are going to be ruined by the players!

Regarding the choice of host, Ke Jin looked around the company and found that the employees were all somewhat coy.

The majority of responses he received were, ’Mr. Ke, ask me to make games, I’m good at that, but if you ask me to livestream...,’

’No way, I really can’t do it... I get stage fright in front of the camera...’

And similar replies.

Ke Jin didn’t want to force anyone.

Get a professional host through a partnership?

That wasn’t ideal either.

This would certainly attract a huge audience, and after pushing them into the spotlight, there’s no telling if they might just up and leave; you can’t ensure their loyalty.

After work, Ke Jin was still pondering who could fill the role.

Even if it was just to cover for a few days while they searched for the right person to take over.

"Not afraid of the camera, and at least good-looking enough for the audience to enjoy watching, better have a pleasant personality, and it would be nice to have a sweet voice... after all, they would represent the top player’s official stance."

"Sss... It can’t be me going on there,"

"I really can’t spare the time."

While Ke Jin was muttering to himself.

Suddenly, a small hand gently patted his shoulder.

"Bro, finished with work?"

Turning his head, he saw Ke Yu’s pretty face appear before his eyes.

Today she had tied her shoulder-length hair up into a high ponytail, revealing her fair and delicate face without any hair covering it, looking exceptionally sweet and clean.

Upon seeing her face, Ke Jin’s eyes lit up, and he slapped Ke Yu’s shoulder, speaking decisively, "The company has decided, you’re going to be our official ’Pubg’ host!"

Ke Yu scratched her head in complete bewilderment.

"Huh?"
