War Paradise

Consciousness returned from the virtual world to the real body, Lin Chi disconnected, released the restraints on his body, unlocked the safety lock of the game cabin from inside, and slowly pushed open the hatch.

It is already midnight in the real world, and the light in the living room is very dim, but there are street neon lights cast in from the window, so that the room is not completely dark.

Lin Chi moved his somewhat stiff body, walked quickly to the window, and stared at the scenery outside.

What you see is a huge forest made up of steel and cement.

Even at midnight, the lights in the city are still bright, thick smoke rising from the surface. It makes the dark steel city below become even darker.

Tower-shaped buildings made of metal stand in the center of the circular city, and the streets are shining with ghostly dark red, like a torrent of lava.

The weather today is as bad as ever.

By 2035, the clear sky will no longer be seen in this previously polluted industrial city. Although the official efforts to control pollution through various measures, they have not achieved much effect. The city has changed from "not suitable for human living" to a level that can barely live in.

Lin Chi glanced at the transparent screen placed on the cabinet by the wall, and the weather tomorrow displayed on it turned out to be haze again. He sighed long and walked into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

As soon as he returned to the real world, this lazy "old salted fish" immediately returned to its original state. He looked listless and did not look like the same person as the ruler of the game.

After washing, Lin Chi rubbed his eyes and returned to the bedroom, only to see the old-fashioned dancing robot possessed by the "Frankenstein" leaning against the wall, with the red light on his head constantly flashing.

Lin Chi walked over, looked down at the rough-looking robot, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The real world is not as interesting as the online world." The robot shook his head and made a non-emotional voice: "I want to go back."

"Go back and die?" Lin Chi smiled: "I have encountered a security guard in the game. Guess what will happen if you meet him?"

——After being blocked in the wall, the anti-virus software account named Magic Conch did not appear on the kill list. It may have been deprived of system permissions and forced to quit the game.

After the true identity of Frankenstein was exposed, anti-virus software has already entered the game. If the virus continues to play the game, once it is discovered by the anti-virus software, I am afraid it will never escape!

"..."

The robot shook his head reluctantly, and the speaker again made a sound: "This world is very boring."

"That's because you only stay in this room. I can take you out when I have time." Lin Chi smiled and added: "Then you will find that the outside is less interesting than at home."

Without waiting for the robot to answer, Lin Chi's conversation turned around and asked, "By the way, did you notice any abnormalities when you were in the game? For example, ‘NPC may be operated by a real person’?"

After playing two rounds, Lin Chi's doubts about this game not only did not eliminate, but further deepened. After all, he is very clear that with the current level of technology, it should not be possible to add a large number of self-aware AIs to the game.

Upon hearing this, the robot shook its head again, and decisively gave a negative answer: "Not so."

"Why is it so sure?" Lin Chi asked.

"I am a program born in the electronic world. I can see the interfaces of all the characters in the game." Frankenstein explained: "The player has a red interface to connect to the body in reality, and those NPCs have nothing."

"You are cheating brazenly..." Lin Chi sighed with emotion.

Hearing this, he finally understood the reason why Frankenstein maintained an undefeated record in the game: in a battle royale type of game, being able to identify the player hidden in the NPC crowd at a glance will undoubtedly gain a great advantage. .

"By the way, have you hacked into the internal system of Pulse Entertainment?" Lin Chi continued to ask.

What is the origin of the "Pulse Entertainment Company" that developed Paradise of War has become one of the topics that players talked about on the forum.

After all, the current brain imaging game development technology has not yet been popularized. Only large companies with strong financial resources and talents can make this type of game.

These types of games that are currently popular on the market are also produced by studios owned by those large companies. Players are surprised because the name of this so-called "Pulse Entertainment Company" has never been heard before.

If you develop a small game for leisure and entertainment, that's it. A game of the level of "War of Heaven" is obviously not made by a small company.

According to the information provided on the official website of Pulse Entertainment, this newly born game company has branches on all continents and has the qualifications to operate online games in many countries. It does not need other agents, but operates directly by itself. The game is basically equivalent to being self-produced and sold.

The two branches of "Pulse Entertainment" in Asia are located in China and India. As for the location of their headquarters, the official website did not mention it.

"I tried to hack into the database of Pulse Entertainment." The dancing robot nodded, shaking its slender arms like sticks: "But they couldn't get past their firewall."

Hearing this, Lin Chi frowned thoughtfully, recalling a certain news headline that he had read on the Internet a few months ago: "Shock! The TDK-131 virus breached the U.S. Pentagon protection system. 》

Although the general game company also pays attention to protecting the database and server, the protection level is still not a small distance from the military's solid firewall.

If Frankenstein is right, it also shows that the firewall strength of Pulse Entertainment is even higher than military-grade protection standards!

Obviously, to maintain this level of protection will undoubtedly require a lot of time and energy, and maintenance costs are also very high. Since this company hasn't done the human experiment of "throwing real people into the game to simulate NPC" after being brainwashed, why do they need such strong protection?

Ordinary protective measures cannot reach this level. Is this company related to the military?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi frowned even more, strode to the bedroom window, opened the curtains and stared at the street illuminated by the street lights downstairs, and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to Enter the "reasoning mode". then……

"Let's go to sleep."

A drowsiness surged in my heart, and this uninteresting "old salted fish" fell heavily on the bed. After closing his eyes, he soon fell asleep.

Seeing that he was already asleep, the little red light on the head of the dancing robot flickered a few times, slowly stepped away from his slender legs, and turned back to the living room.
