This place is called Amethyst Spring, and it only accepts male guests. Of course, the so-called male guest is only in the sense of Avatar.

Maandala is considered a brave new world because for all people, there is the ability to live their true selves, second life, in Maandala. Transgender people, people with physical disabilities, are undoubtedly the most avid fans of Maandala, they are able to freely choose the Avatar they want, men choose women's Avatars, women choose men's Avatars, Maandala gives them such freedom.

As soon as she stepped into the Amethyst Spring, Fang Chi realized that she had entered a "red light district".

This is an R-level (Restricted) zone layer. The feeling of entering this zone is indescribable, as if entering a dream-like psychedelic and dissociative feeling, which makes people immerse themselves in the world of drunkenness and gold in an instant, and can let go of a qiē into a carnival.

But Fang Chi, who is familiar with Maandala, knows very well that this is Maandala's trick - the gravity, air pressure, image sharpness, and sound stage of this R-class layer...... and other physical settings are different from ordinary areas, and when you step into it, it will naturally give users a strong sense of unreality.

This kind of R-rated layer is not visible to users under the age of 18. After the breakthrough of virtual reality technology, that kind of immersive experience has made the color * industry have achieved unprecedented development. Maandala's vein authentication technology is able to naturally and accurately distinguish the age of users, preventing underage users from being exposed to inappropriate content. It is precisely because of this mandatory grading that Maandala is also widely used among teenagers.

There are many guests who come to the amethyst spring to have fun. All 3D virtual photographs of the available Avatars are suspended in mid-air, slowly turning, at the mercy of the guest's choice. Some service providers who pay more attention to image display even use live photos, which are the actions of scratching their heads and smiling. All of these 3D photos can be zoomed in, zoomed in, and clear enough to see every hair.

After years of immersion in the Cyber Security Bureau, Fang will be able to tell at a glance whether an avatar is a real human avatar or a virtual avatar.

All the Avatars that offer the * service here are all real.

Fang Chi looked at the "しと" in the crowd. His Avatar is tall and bright, and is easily recognizable among all kinds of Avatars. This is Sheng Yan back then, confident and flamboyant, and the more and more obscure Guest, but formed two extremes.

"しと" chose a petite girl in Japanese costumes "Sakura no Autumn Aga". The girl's skin was fair and shiny, and her appearance was not very prominent, but when she looked closely, she was a little cold.

This is the preference of this impersonated "しと" for women?

But...... Not quite right.

After entering the Amethyst Spring, this "しと" is still expressionless, and his actions are natural and not fanatical - he, like her, has a kind of detached sobriety in this R-class area.

Fang Chi knew that this was a kind of sobriety that knew Maandala well. When you can see the essence of this virtual world and don't want to immerse yourself in it for pleasure, that's such a kind of sobriety.

If her judgment is correct, why did "しと" come to such a place?

After selecting "しと", we went straight to the service area. During this time, he looked back, as if to confirm whether anyone was following. Fang Chi's Avatar turned sideways and rejected the invitation sent to "him" by a half-aged who still had charm.

When Fang Chi drove the Avatar to track it over, the twenty-seventh door where the kimono girl was had already closed.

There is an electronic screen on the door: whether to apply for N-player (multiplayer) or not. Such a deal can be made when multiple avatars have their eyes on the same provider.

Fang Chi chose "Yes".

Half a minute later, the person in the room gave a reply: no.

Fang Chi was unexpected, pulled out the menu and clicked on the coordinates of this room, and instantly entered the room.

The room is small, with a pale cherry pink bed taking up most of the space. The petite girl sat on her knees on the bed, and had already pulled open the straps of the kimono, and the outer layer of the kimono was half-open and half-faded, revealing a thin layer of long undergarments inside. The snow-white towering twin peaks loom in the background, a pair of delicate and slender legs, and the whole person is as attractive as a peach.

She suddenly saw Fang Chi's zombie-like Avatar, and there was no surprise in her eyes, but she looked at it curiously.

Fang Chi unexpectedly didn't see "しと".

She asked, "What about the guests who just came in?" "She used a voice changer, a male voice, as dull as a drum.

Sakura no Akiga's palm gently caresses his thighs, exuding a pure and intense temptation. She laughed crisply: "The dumb guest just now wrote to me that the guest outside loves my beauty, and he will definitely use his means to enter through the wall, but I didn't expect it to be true!" ”

Fang Chi was shocked when he heard this, "Use your means to enter through the wall", so "しと" has already understood the identity of her administrator and tracker!

It must have been on a shuttle train. She remembered the smooth mirror-like handle that "しと" was holding at the time. He didn't look back, but it looked like he must have noticed her Avatar at the time.

So he sat all the way to the terminal and lured her to Chiba Castle?

But why Chiba Castle? Why Amethyst Spring?

A thought suddenly flashed in Fang Chi's heart, and he raised his palm and swiped quickly in the air, trying to pull out the shuttle menu. However, at this time, Sakura no Akiga swooped into her Avatar's arms, blocking her from using her administrator privileges to quickly cross.

"Am I not beautiful?" Sakura no Autumn asked with a drop in her eyes, her eyes sparkling. Her Avatar is really good, holding it in her arms is warm and fragrant, and there is no one who is not moved.

But she is Fang Chi.

Not just a woman, but also a woman who lacks basic feelings.

Fang Chi just wanted to push Sakura Akiga away with all his might, but the moment his palm fell on her shoulder, he changed his mind. She gently stroked Sakura's soft and delicate bare shoulders, and said softly, "I'm more interested in your guest just now than you." ”

Sakura's face changed, and she pushed "him" away and "snorted". This "hum" was the voice of a young man. Fang Chi understood, this is a pseudo-mother. It's no wonder that "her" hand was so strong just now, and when she hugged her Avatar all of a sudden, she couldn't move.

"Where's the guest?"

Sakura no Autumn He sat on the edge of the bed with Erlang's legs crossed, lit a slender cigarette, rolled his eyes and said coldly: "I went to buy medicine." ”

Fang Chi's eyes lit up, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the "しと" gourd.

Is it to provoke her?

Through the guò space shuttle function, "しと" has already judged the identity of the administrator of this Avatar. But instead of rushing to escape, he lured her to an R-class area like Amethyst Spring, presumably suspecting the relationship between this Avatar and Lacrimosa.

He deliberately practiced the "しと" Avatar.

Medicine. What kind of medicine can be found in the R-class area? Naturally, it is an illegal drug.

These potions are bug-like in Maandala, and are actually equivalent to modifying Avatar with mod tools to enhance the effects of stimulants and Viagra.

These potions are officially banned by Maandala, as changes to the Avatar setting will directly affect the balance of power.

But Chiba Castle is special. It's a mixed bag, with a unique post-apocalyptic art style and wilderness legends that attract players from many different servers to travel and exchange items. Because of the higher degree of freedom, there is a large amount of illegal trade in the R-level zone. The official use of this agent in the R-class zone is indeed blind and closed. Just like this enhanced potion, you can buy it lightly for a few hundred M pens.

He's going to transform the Avatar of "しと"!

Administrator Avatar would have been furious if it was actually Lacrimosa manipulating.

But how could she, Fang Chi, be furious.

She could feel the anger in her heart. But α inhibitor seemed to have a huge frosted glass horizontally placed on top of the restless emotions in her heart. She could vaguely see her feelings, but she couldn't vent them.

Footsteps outside the door approached. It's "しと" is back.

Fang Chi's Avatar clenched the freezing tool in his hand.

Avatar, the administrator of Maandala, has the privilege to temporarily freeze user accounts and conduct investigations to prevent changes. Of course, this special permission is strictly restricted by Maandala, and it is not allowed to freeze the user's account or infringe on the user** without permission.

But at this time, Fang Chi couldn't take care of it much.

The side door to room 27 suddenly opens. The Avatar at the door is tall and bright.,It's "しと"。

The moment he opened the door, Fang Chi unexpectedly noticed that the air around the Avatar of "しと" was flickering and fluctuating. His handsome face was expressionless, but there was a terrifying composure and conspiracy.

Not good!

Fang Chi raised his palm, and was about to cast the freezing function on "しと", but he was pushed hard behind his back! The force feedback system in her body is fully open, and the precision is adjusted to the maximum, and this push makes her Avatar stagger forward suddenly, falling into the fluctuating space around "しと"!

She heard Sakura no Akiga giggling behind her, and grabbed her Avatar and slammed something into her Avatar's mouth!

It's a potion!

A feeling of looseness and collapse all around me.

Fang Chi only felt a narrow thrust coming at her, as if she was a seed, forcibly squeezed out of the soft and fat flesh. All the world in front of me was instantly compressed into a white line and disappeared into darkness.

Fang Chi was forced offline.

There was only one sentence left in her head: her Avatar was plundered by "しと".

Holding herself against the wall, she pressed the start button again, trying to log in to the Maandala system again. In the void, a red warning sign flashed and reminded her:

The user is already online.

A national curse flashed in Fang Chi's mind.

Maandala is not without Avatar "stealing", which is commonly referred to as "looting".

But the impact of "plunder" was not great. Maandala eliminates passwords and uses vein recognition for authentication, so that even if the Avatar is looted, the predator will not be able to log in, and the user will still be able to force the user to go online again.

But, the administrator Avatar is different-

It doesn't require vein identification authentication at all!

Fang Chi tried to restart the Maandala program again and log in to the system. However, the red warning in the void still exists. She tried to log in to her Lacrimosa account, but the Maandala system was red again:

You can't log in to two avatars at the same time.

She understood.

"しと", the predator, has logged into this administrator account. However, because she did not implement the normal exit procedure, she could not even log in to her account.

This should be considered a bug in Maandala. But why does such a low-level bug exist?

Apparently because of this situation, it has never happened before! There has never been a precedent for the Administrator's Avatar to be plundered!

Fang Chi quickly dialed Reboot's phone, but no one answered. Reboot has been lying on top of Maandala for many years and has basically given up on phone calls. What's more, he is still busy patching system loopholes.

The administrator account has access to the Maandala backend to modify Maandala's source code, which would be a breeze if the predator wanted to use the account to do evil.

Fang Chi rushed downstairs, hailed a taxi, and went straight to the Maandala headquarters building.

This Avatar Marauder is much more powerful than she thought.

She sat in the speeding car, remembering the fluctuating space around "しと", knowing that the marauder had invaded the display program in Maandala.

Of course, this kind of intrusion is superficial, limited in scope, because there is basically no possibility of the display program being hacked and modified.

The marauder had apparently taken advantage of the "potion".

How well does he have to know about Maandala to be able to take advantage of the "Elixir" bug to hack into Maandala's display program? Although the scope of this invasion is small, it is still a sharp fishing net.

When her administrator Avatar falls into his sphere of influence, this small fishing net is enough for him to plunder the Avatar, which does not require vein identification.

He had already had the intention of plundering her Avatar of the Administrator.

So it has to be Chiba Castle.

Must be R-class zonal.

It must be an amethyst spring.

This predator is even more scheming than she had previously thought.

Who could it be?

Fang Chi looked out of the car window, and the scenery quickly receded. The spectrum that had bloomed vigorously a few days ago has gone, and the green leaves are growing lushly. Taxis are speeding down the high-speed ring road, and the torch-like building gradually comes into view.
