979 Bloodblade's Intelligence
Lin Chi knew that even if the official forum explicitly forbade the discussion of the issue of psychedelics, it was very likely that the illegal drug would continue to be sold.
Players can communicate with each other on more than just the official forums. If you go to the unofficial communities that are not very strictly regulated, you may be able to find some clues.
After leaving the official forum, Lin Chi and Frankenstein began to split up, looking for clues related to psychedelics in the War Paradise community outside the official forum.
Of course, the difference in efficiency between humans and AI can be said to be very different, basically Frankenstein is querying information, and Lin Chi is just fishing......
Thirty minutes later, just as Lin Chi was staring at an ad on a forum, Frankenstein sent a message:
"Discover the clues."
"Oh?"
Lin Chi immediately opened the webpage sent by Frankenstein, and a black and white holographic projection appeared above the mobile phone screen, and the interface of this forum was extremely simple, looking like a product of twenty years ago.
The title in black on a white background is for sale the special secret medicine of war paradise, and if you know it, the poster is anonymous and can't find the information, and the content of the following post is unusually simple:
"Veteran players sell Warhaven in-game drugs to help you excel in select maps! If you are interested, please add the account xxxxx......"
Is this guy really selling "psychedelics"?
Seeing the unusually general content of this advertisement, Lin Chi frowned slightly and focused his gaze on the posting date at the bottom of the page.
This post was made in August, almost a month ago, and there are a few things like "This is really good" and "The landlord is mighty!" below. It looks like To's reply, and then there's nothing else.
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, with the nickname "wandering businessman", and the other information was not filled in at all, which looked very similar to those Internet crooks.
"Hello." Lin Chi sent a message to the past.
"Hello." The other party replied quickly.
"Well, I'm a player from War Paradise, what do you mean by this in-game drug?" Lin Chi quickly entered a line of information, disguised as a "budding new".
"Huh?" The wandering merchant's recovery was still succinct: "What do you say? β
"I've been working too much lately and I can't concentrate while playing. I've heard that there are in-game stimulants that allow players to focus. Lin Chi casually applied Zhou Tianhao's current situation to himself: "I contacted you by seeing an advertisement by chance, you bought stimulants, right?" β
When dealing with this kind of businessman, speaking too roundabout will arouse the suspicion of the other party, and getting straight to the point is the right choice.
After Lin Chi asked a question, the other party seemed to notice something, and did not answer his question directly, but directly issued an "eviction order":
"You're late, it's long out of stock."
"Will it be out of stock?" Lin Chi asked.
", I'm selling epic items in the game. Do you think this energy is produced? The wandering merchant seemed impatient: "I'm about to unpack, let's talk about it later......"
Without waiting for Lin Chi to continue to ask questions, the wandering merchant had already deleted his friend. Looking at the chat box that suddenly disappeared, Lin Chi sighed: "Is the current businessman's service attitude so poor?" β
"I'm sorry, I made a mistake." Frankenstein apologized to Lin Chi in an electronic synthesized voice.
"It's okay, that kid is really suspicious, maybe he sold psychedelics in the past, and he may have been deliberately fooling us just now." Lin Chi turned off the chat software while speaking, and opened the player community of War Paradise again.
Even if the other party was really lying, Lin Chi didn't plan to continue to track down that person: it had already aroused the suspicion of the other party, and a few more words might startle the snake. What's more, the "psychedelics" that caused several players to go crazy can't be the only one who is selling them, and there must be other channels.
And, even if you can't find anyone else selling psychedelics right now, there should be players who know something about it. Lin Chi's current friends in the War Paradise are only a few people. But......
"I know someone might know." He whispered.
"Who?" Frankenstein's questions are concise and to the point.
"The name that can't be said." Lin Chi smiled.
Leaving Frankenstein to continue searching for information in the player community, Lin Chi logged in to the War Paradise game, returned to his private building area, took out the mobile phone he used to contact his friends, clicked on one of the names, and chose voice contact:
"Hello, friend." His greeting was unusually perfunctory.
"Is there something wrong...... "The hoarse female voice sounded.
Once had a "grudge and hatred" with herself, the bloody blade seemed to be waiting in the private housing area at this time, and if she opened a game, there was no way to contact her from here.
"I have a question." Lin Chi didn't have time to be polite, and went straight to the point again: "Have you heard of hallucinogens?" β
"Your previous records were all from drugs...... Bloody Blade coughed meaningfully.
"Will I tell you if I take drugs? Besides, doping is not a violation. Lin Chi said.
In order to ensure mental concentration in the brain imaging game, many people are drug addicts. Before they start the game, they will take doping in the real world to make themselves extra focused for a period of time, at the cost of experiencing an empty and weak "sage moment" after the game.
Although this behavior is not officially promoted, they also have no way to monitor what players do before entering the game. This kind of "drug flow" has also become the choice of some players. If you encounter that kind of player who is extremely excited in the game, but is very skilled in operation, nine times out of ten, it is right to take stimulants.
In Lin Chi's opinion, the extremely cruel killer of the Blood Blade may also be a member of the drug flow, and she may know something about psychedelics.
However, to get information from the Bloody Blade, of course, it will not be so simple:
"It's okay if you want to take drugs...... Bloodblade inhales quietly, hissing like a snake.
"It's not me, I'm just interested in taking LSD to make me crazy." Lin Chi explained: "Don't you think it's strange that drug abuse causes mental disorders? β
"All people in this world have psychological problems, and no one is clean." Bloodblade sneered, "You may be one of the more seriously ill ......"
"I'm asking about psychedelics." Lin Chi brought the topic that was about to deviate back on track.
"They're probably taking too much and they're going crazy, what's so weird about that?" Bloodblade's voice had a hint of schadenfreude: "It may also be that it has stimulated his own nature, maybe he is a madman, but he has been hiding it all along." β
"So do you have any information over there? I can trade an epic exoskeleton for a clue. Lin Chi said angrily.
Faced with this kind of bastard who turned like the wind and never answered questions directly, Lin Chi felt a sense of pain in his heart. If he hadn't felt that the Blood Blade might have a clue, he wouldn't have talked to this thing.
"Are you going to be a detective...... This gentleman? Bloodblade teased, "Do you need me to create a few scenes for you to show off your reasoning skills?" β
"If you don't have any news, forget it." Lin Chi said that he was going to cut off contact.
Just when he was about to end this conversation that was a pure waste of time, and by the way, he had a one-stop service for deleting friends, and the bloody blade, who had never "entered the state", finally began to answer the question:
"Mr. Detective, you're asking about psychedelics...... I do know a little bit about that. β
"What the inside story?" Lin Chi immediately asked.
"The few players who had taken the psychedelic went crazy and were sent to the hospital, presumably to a mental hospital now. It's really pitiful, a fool who can't even control his own brain, and has no value in living. Bloodblade laughed.
"Please don't surf the Internet, these insiders even know the inside story of Zhiyuanxing." Lin Chi sighed: "What I need is the real insider, not the news that can be found by this kind of search engine." β
In fact, he didn't have much hope for the Bloody Blade. However, the other few people in the friends column are even less likely to come into contact with such things as psychedelics. Only Bloodblade may know something about this.
"Don't worry, I'm not done yet...... Bloody Blade said slowly, "Are you wondering where those poor creatures got the news of the psychedelics?" β
"Can you stop selling it?" Lin Chi shook his head: "Where the hell is it?" β
Judging from Frankenstein's previous investigations, there is no content related to the sale of psychedelics in the unofficial game forums. Even if the psychedelic keyword is found, it's all about the player's madness, and no one has actually been exposed to that drug.
Of course, the content of the forum about the psychedelic trade may have been deleted after the incident. But beyond that, there's another possibility that sounds incredible, and that's that
"I saw it in the game, it's the map of the City of Chaos." Bloodblade said.
"There's an ad like this in the game, are you sure?" Lin Chi frowned, and found that things were not simple.
According to some players' tests, each map in Haven of War will not retain the previous changes when it is re-entered, but will be "refreshed" to a new state.
In other words, it is basically impossible for players to leave a slogan such as "so-and-so is here" in the game map. Even Frankenstein, who used the "Mother of Bombs" to create a big bang in the chaotic city, failed to leave a strong mark on that world.
Of course, there are many connections to the plot in many of the game's maps. However, after testing by players, these connections will only appear when they are lined up on other maps:
For example, Lin Chi met several familiar old buddies in the follow-up "Killer Capital" map of Chaos City, and even met survivors who had experienced the big explosion caused by Frankenstein. But if he re-arranges into the City of Chaos map, he won't be able to find the crater made by Frankenstein.
If a player is consecutively on the same map, the storylines in that map will not be connected, but will be "refreshed" to return to the original state, or enter another state. Sometimes, along with elements such as boss fights and important NPCs in a map, it can change drastically.
You won't encounter the same situation on the same map, which is one of the reasons why Paradise of War is so talked about by fans of realistic games. Except for those soldiers who can be infinitely refreshed, the "residents" in this game are not like the NPCs with designed lines and actions in traditional online games, but more like flesh and blood people.
"I know...... You think I'm fooling you, right? Blood Blade's irritating laughter sounded again, interrupting Lin Chi's thoughts: "There is no way for players to leave any marks on the map, and I know this, but I do see it." β
"What do you see?" Lin Chi asked bluntly.
"I was beaten up by a debris and ducked into the bathroom, and the bastard threw a grenade in, and I kicked the grenade out and landed right at his feet."
Bloodblade happily recounted his "great achievements": "The stupid man's blown up upper body flew in, disconnected from his waist, and his intestines and spine were still hanging, but unfortunately it was turned into pieces, otherwise he could play for a while...... Which bastard created the premise that the player will be reduced to pieces when he dies? What is the authenticity of a game that can't whip a corpse! β
"The topic is off track." Lin Chi reminded.
"Oh...... I'm talking about psychedelics. Bloody Blade seemed a little disappointed, and his voice was a little lower: "I saw that line on the door of the toilet cubicle, that thing is too much like a certificate advertisement, there is no such thing in a city in the Pacific, right?" β
"So what the hell is written?" Lin Chi asked.
"For psychedelics, add id3154926." Bloodblade smiled: "I was very impressed at the time, and after quitting the game, I searched for that number, and a man really replied to me immediately, saying that he could sell me psychedelics." β
"You mean, you added him to your chat app outside of the game?" Lin Chi confirmed it again.
"yes, I'm not interested in his medicine, I just want to ask him how he got the little ad into the game, but the idiot didn't answer me." Bloodblade replied.
"Things don't seem to be ......simple," Lin Chi said in a low voice.
Although the other party may have written this advertising slogan during the game, if you want to attract the attention of other players during the game, you should not choose to make any advertising slogans in the toilet cubicle, and find a conspicuous place to hang a banner or slogan, which is the right choice.
But if those guys are leaving the advertising slogan "permanently" in the City of Chaos, the situation is different:
"Think of anything, Detective?" Bloodblade asked playfully.
"I don't know, I'll talk about it later." Lin Chi said and hung up the call.
