War Paradise

Lin Chi knows that even if the official forum bans discussion of the issue of psychedelics, this illicit drug is likely to continue to be sold.

The place where players can communicate is not just the official forum. Go to those unofficial communities that are not strictly managed, and you may find some clues.

After leaving the official forum, Lin Chi and Frankenstein began to act separately, looking for clues related to psychedelics in the "War Paradise" community outside the official forum.

Of course, the efficiency gap between humans and AI can be said to be vastly different. Basically, Frankenstein is inquiring about information. Lin Chi is just fishing...

Thirty minutes later, just as Lin Chi was staring at an advertisement on a forum, Frankenstein sent a message:

"Found clues."

"Oh?"

Lin Chi immediately opened the web page sent by Frankenstein, and a black and white holographic projection appeared on the top of the phone screen. The interface of this forum was very simple and looked like a product of twenty years ago.

The headline in black on white background is "Sell the secret medicine for war heaven, and those who know how to do it". The poster is anonymous and no information can be found. The content of the following post is unusually simple:

"Senior veteran player sells special drugs in the "War of Heaven" game to help you invincible in certain maps! Those who are interested, please add account XXXXX..."

——Is this guy really selling "psychedelics"?

Seeing the unusually general content of this advertisement, Lin Chi frowned slightly, focusing on the posting date at the bottom of the page.

This post was issued in August, almost a month ago, and there are several replies like "This is really good" and "The poster is mighty!" at first glance, and then there is no other content.

Lin Chi tried to add that account to the chat software, only to see that the other party was using the basic avatar provided by the software, the nickname was "Vagrant Merchant", and the other information was not filled in at all. It seemed to be very similar to those online scammers. Place.

"Hello." Lin Chi sent a message.

"Hello." The other party responded quickly.

"Well, I'm a player in War Paradise. What do you mean by this'special drug in the game'?" Lin Chi quickly entered a line of information, pretending to be "Mengxin".

"Huh?" The wandering businessman's reply was still concise: "What did you say?"

"I have recently worked too much overtime and I can't concentrate when playing games. I heard that there are in-game stimulants that can make players concentrate." Lin Chi casually applied Universe Howe's current situation to himself: "I saw it by accident. The advertisement contacted you. You bought stimulants, right?"

——When dealing with this kind of businessman, speaking too convolutedly will cause the other party's suspicion, and getting straight to the point is the right choice.After Lin Chi asked, the other party seemed to have noticed something, and did not directly answer his question, but directly issued a "removal order":

"You're late, it's already out of stock."

"Will it be out of stock?" Lin Chi asked.

"Nonsense, I sell epic items in the game. Do you think this energy is produced?" The wandering businessman seemed impatient: "I'm about to open the box, let's talk about it later..."

Without waiting for Lin Chi to continue to ask questions, the vagrant businessman has deleted his friend. Looking at the chat box that disappeared suddenly, Lin Chi sighed, "Is the current businessmen's service attitude so bad?"

"I'm sorry, I made a mistake." Frankenstein apologized to Lin Chi with electronically synthesized sound.

"It's okay, that kid is really suspicious. Maybe the ones sold in the past were really hallucinogens. He might have deliberately fooled us just now." Lin Chi turned off the chat software while talking, and opened the player community in Heaven of War again.

——Even if the other party is really lying, Lin Chi does not intend to pursue that person: he has already aroused the other party's suspicion, and saying a few more words may startle the snake. What's more, it is impossible for this guy to sell the "psychedelics" that caused several players to go crazy, and there must be other channels.

Moreover, even if no other people selling psychedelics can be found now, there should be players who know this aspect. Lin Chi's current friends in the paradise of war are only a few people. but……

"I know someone might know," he whispered.

"Who?" Frankenstein's question was brief and concise.

"That name that can't be said." Lin Chi smiled.

Leaving Frankenstein and continuing to search for messages in the player community, Lin Chi logged into the "War Paradise" game, returned to the own private building area, took out the mobile phone used to contact his friends, clicked on one of the names, and chose voice contact:

"Hello, friend." His greeting was very perfunctory.

"What's the matter..." The hoarse female voice rang.

——I once had a bloodblade of "gratitude and enmity" with myself. At this time, she seemed to be waiting in the private house area. If she played a game, she couldn't get in touch from here.

"I have a question." Lin Chi had no time to be polite, and went straight to the topic again: "Have you ever heard of'psychedelics'?"

"Did your previous records come from taking drugs..." Bloodblade coughed meaningfully.

"Will I tell you if I take drugs? Besides, taking stimulants is not a violation." Lin Chi said.

In order to ensure mental concentration in brain imaging games, many people are drug-ridden players. Before they start the game, they will take stimulants in the real world to make themselves more focused for a period of time. The price is that they will experience an empty and weak "sage moment" after the game is over.

Although the official does not promote this behavior, they cannot supervise what the player does before entering the game. This "drug flow" has also become part of the player's choice. If you encounter a player who is extremely excited but very skilled in the game, you will probably have taken a doping.

In Lin Chi's view, the bloodblade, an extremely cruel murderer, may also be a member of the drug-riding stream, and she might know something about psychedelics.

However, to get information from the bloodblade, of course it will not be so simple:

"It doesn't matter to me if you want to take drugs..." Bloodblade inhales in a low voice, hissing like a snake.

"I said it's not me. I'm just interested in the things that make people go crazy after taking psychedelics." Lin Chi explained, "Don't you think it's weird that taking drugs leads to mental disorders?"

"Everyone in this world has psychological problems, and no one is'clean'." Bloodblade sneered and laughed: "You may be of the kind who is more ill..."

"I'm asking about psychedelics." Lin Chi brought the topic that was about to go off-track back on track.

"They may have taken too much dose, so they went crazy. What is weird?" The blood blade's voice was smirking: "It may also have inspired the nature of the owner. Maybe they were lunatics, but they have been It's all hidden."

"So is there any information on your side? I can use an epic exoskeleton for clues." Lin Chi said angrily.

——Faced with this kind of bastard who had never answered questions directly, Lin Chi felt a pain in his heart spontaneously. If he didn't think that Bloodblade might have a clue, he wouldn't chat with this guy.

"Are you going to be a detective... this gentleman?" Bloodblade teased: "I need to create a few scenes so that you can show your reasoning ability?"

"If you don't have any news, then forget it." Lin Chi said that he would cut off the contact.

Just when he planned to end this purely time-wasting conversation, and by the way, when he came to a one-stop service for deleting friends, he has never been "in the state", and finally started to answer questions:

"Mr. Detective, you are asking about psychedelics...I do know some inside stories about this."

"What inside story?" Lin Chi asked immediately.

"The few players who took the hallucinogen went crazy and were sent to the hospital. Now they are probably going to a mental hospital. It's really pitiful, an idiot who can't even control his own brain. It's not worth living." Bloodblade smiled.

"I beg you to stop surfing the Internet. These'insiders' have already been known to Zhiyuanxing." Lin Chi sighed: "What I need is real insider information, not information that can be found by such a search engine. ."

In fact, he didn't have much hope for Blood Blade. However, the other people in the friend column are even less likely to have access to things like psychedelics. Only Bloodblade may understand this aspect.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet..." Bloodblade said slowly: "Are you curious, where did those poor bugs get the news of'LSD'?"

"Can you stop selling it?" Lin Chi shook his head: "Where the hell is it?"

Judging from previous investigations by Frankenstein, there is no content related to the sale of psychedelics in unofficial game forums. Even if I found the key word of psychedelics, it was all about the player's madness, and no one had actually been exposed to that kind of drug.

Of course, the content of the psychedelic agent trade in the forum may have been deleted after the incident. But in addition, there is another possibility that sounds incredible, and that is -

"I saw it in the game, the map of the'City of Chaos'," said Bloodblade.

"This kind of advertisement will appear in the game, are you sure?" Lin Chi frowned and realized that things were not simple.According to some player tests, each map of "War of Heaven" will not retain the previous changes when it is repeatedly entered, but will be "refreshed" and become a brand new state.

That is to say, it is basically impossible for a player to leave a slogan similar to "So-and-so here for a visit" on the game map, which is basically completely impossible to be seen by other players on this map.

Even the Frankenstein who used the "Mother of Bombs" to create a big bang in the Chaos City did not make a big impression on that world.

Of course, in many maps of this game, the plot does have many connections. But after testing by the players, these connections will only appear when queuing to other maps:

For example, in the follow-up "Killer City" map of Chaos City, Lin Chi met several familiar old folks, and even encountered survivors who had experienced the big bang created by Frankenstein. But if he was re-ranked on the map of the City of Chaos, there would be no crater made by Frankenstein.

——If a player queues to the same map consecutively, the game plots in this map will not be connected, but will return to the original state through "refresh" or enter other states. Sometimes, together with elements such as BOSS battles and important NPCs in a map, earth-shaking changes will occur.

You will not encounter exactly the same situation in the same map, which is one of the reasons why "War of Heaven" is talked about by those immersive game lovers. Except for the soldiers who can be refreshed indefinitely, the "residents" in this game are not like those NPCs with well-designed lines and actions in traditional online games, but more like flesh and blood people.

"I know... you think I'm fooling you, right?" Bloodblade's irritating laughter sounded again, interrupting Lin Chi's thoughts: "The player can't leave any marks on the map, this I know too, but I did see it."

"What did you see?" Lin Chi asked bluntly.

"At the time I was hit by a gangster and hid in the toilet. The bastard threw a grenade in. I kicked the grenade out and it landed at his feet."

Bloodblade happily recounted his "great feat": "The idiot's blown up upper body flew in, disconnected from his waist, and still had his intestines and spine hanging, but it was broken into pieces, otherwise he could play for a while... player Which jerk made the setting of becoming fragmented after death? What authenticity is there in a game that can't whip a corpse!"

"The topic is off the track." Lin Chi reminded.

"Oh...I'm talking about psychedelics." Bloodblade seemed a little disappointed, and his voice was a little low: "I saw the line on the door of the toilet cubicle. The thing is written too much. It’s an advertisement for a license. Nothing like this will appear in cities in the Pacific, right?"

"So what is it writing?" Lin Chi asked.

"For LSD, please add ID3154926." Bloodblade smiled: "I was very impressed at the time. After I quit the game, I searched for the number. A man really replied to me immediately, saying that it could be sold to my fans. Phantom agent."

"You mean, you added him to chat software other than games?" Lin Chi confirmed again.

"Yeah, I'm not interested in his medicine. I just want to ask him why he puts this kind of advertising in the game, but the idiot didn't answer me." Bloodblade replied.

"It doesn't seem to be simple..." Lin Chi whispered.

——Although the opponent may have written this ad word during the game, it was seen by the bloodblade that happened to be in this game. But to attract the attention of other players during the game, leaving text in the toilet cubicle where most players will not enter is basically useless. Find a prominent place to hang a banner or slogan, which is the right choice.

However, if the merchant who sells psychedelic drugs leaves the ad slogan "permanently" in the city of chaos, the situation is different:

"Have you thought of anything, detective?" Bloodblade asked jokingly.

"I don't know, let's talk about it later." Lin Chi said and hung up the call.
