The next morning, Lin Chi, who had just gotten up, received a contact from Zhou Tianhao.

"Dude, did you find out any information?" Zhou Tianhao's voice sounded very weak, as if he had been playing in the club for a week, and his tone was as if he was about to hang up: "My side...... Overtime...... Can't stand ......"

"Can you still do it?" Lin Chi said angrily: "Go and rest, so as not to die suddenly." ”

"It's okay, I'm doping." Zhou Tianhao bothered and asked, "How's the matter with psychedelics?" ”

Realizing that the other party had worked overtime to the point of trance, Lin Chi replied vaguely: "I haven't found anything yet." Then he just hung up the phone after a few more casual nonsense words.

"Didn't you tell him the truth?" Frankenstein said coldly.

"What is being investigated now is not necessarily the truth, and further confirmation is needed." Lin Chi said and threw his phone on the bed: "If it's really Methuselah who is taking revenge on society, then you can't tell him." ”

"You're afraid that Paradise Wars is going to disappear." Frankenstein hit the nail on the head.

"Yes, that kid is from the Authority, if he knows that there are NPCs attacking humans in the game, the servers of "War Paradise" in China are estimated to be suspended. And, I would like to know how Methuselah accomplished this. ”

- How exactly does "Methuselah" drive players crazy, and who is its helper in the real world? Before figuring out the answers to these questions, Lin Chi did not plan to tell Zhou Tianhao the information he had found.

However, if Zhou Tianhao has been exhausted by long hours of work recently, he may be able to extract some information about "War Paradise" from him.

Realizing this, a smile appeared on Lin Chi's face, picked up his mobile phone again, and began to contact his old classmates.

But this time, it was not Zhou Tianhao's kidney-deficient voice that rang on the other end of the phone, but a somewhat anxious female voice:

"Are you his colleague? Stop working overtime! ”

Noticing that the call he made was transferred to another unfamiliar number, Lin Chi asked, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Zhou Tianhao's sister, his body is dying, let him go home quickly!" The female voice on the other side of the phone seemed to have cried: "I can see the physical condition recorded by the personal device on the computer here, and he will die suddenly if he stays up!" ”

"But I'm not his colleague, just his old classmate." Lin Chi sighed: "Even if I persuade him, it's useless, that kid is very stubborn, you should know better than me." ”

——When he was studying, although Zhou Tianhao didn't seem to be serious, he was actually a stubborn guy who liked to drill the horns. Whether it's reading or falling in love, this guy is unusually serious and works harder than ordinary people, which is in stark contrast to the "old salted fish" in the same room.

Although the other party's lifestyle was diametrically opposed to his own, the relationship between Lin Chi and this guy was not bad at that time. Zhou Tianhao often helped him buy things and came back, and was regarded by Lin Chi as a "courier" or something.

It is conceivable that it is almost impossible to persuade such people to rest. Since even his sister couldn't convince him, Lin Chi didn't bother to waste time trying to convince Zhou Tianhao, so he could only silently pray that the guy wouldn't fall at work.

"It's still 'freelancing' reliable." Lin Chi said with emotion.

"Help me." The female voice on the other end of the phone was very weak: "Let him hurry home......"

"I'm sorry, I can't help with that." Lin Chi said that he couldn't do anything, and then suddenly thought of something and asked, "When did he start working high-intensity overtime?" ”

"It's been a week." Zhou Tianhao's sister replied immediately.

"Did your brother tell me why he worked overtime?" Lin Chi asked.

"He doesn't usually tell me about that. When I heard him chatting with his colleagues, it seemed that he mentioned what game operator he wanted to investigate......" My sister said, "I don't know the specifics......"

"Alright then, you turn off the transfer later, and I'll give him a call to persuade him." Lin Chi comforted the girl on the other end of the phone.

Even if he is usually lazy, he is not enough to sit back and watch his friends die of overwork. Moreover, Lin Chi also had a strong interest in Zhou Tianhao's current work:

Before Zhou Tianhao asked himself to investigate psychedelics, he also mentioned that his team was in charge of the investigation of psychedelics, and it was still being audited, so he was busy like this.

However, there seems to be little progress in the investigation of psychedelics by those people. And during this time, there were only two brain imaging games that had just been launched, and one of them with a bloody and violent theme had not passed the review at all, and players were playing the version of the foreign server.

Developing an IMG-based game is much more difficult than the previous development of computer games, and there are actually only a handful of manufacturers in the industry who have mastered the development technology.

Therefore, what Zhou Tianhao said before about "busy reviewing" seems a little suspicious.

- Only review these two games, one of them is still the kind that was shot directly, will it really be busy like this?

What are the staff of the Brain Imaging Game Authority up to now? According to Chow's sister, they may be investigating the "operator of the game", that is......

"Pulse Entertainment is being targeted again?"

Realizing that those people in the Authority were probably investigating the Pulse Entertainment Company, Lin Chi frowned thoughtfully.

All along, he has also been investigating the details of the pulse entertainment company, but he has not made any substantial progress, except for the investigation that the company is likely to be related to the military industry, but has not found anything.

In Lin Chi's view, Pulse Entertainment Company may just be the "vests" of the thirteen creators in "War Paradise" in the human world. Of course, he is not the only one who is puzzled by this company, but also many players of the brain imaging game, as well as members of the Game Authority.

Lin Chi remembers very well that when he first "reunited" with Zhou Tianhao, he got some information about Pulse Entertainment Company from Zhou Tianhao. The investigation into this mysterious company should have started a long time ago.

However, if the Authority finds the company suspicious and has been investigating Pulse Entertainment, why would they allow WarParadise, a "discordant game" full of bloody and violent content, to directly open the Chinese server?

Ordering the housekeeping robot to prepare breakfast, Lin Chi, who was still wearing black and white striped pajamas, sat on the edge of the bed, stared at the gloomy wall, and began to think about this strange doubt:

The style of the Game Authority is clear to players across the country. This organization has always adhered to the principle of "it is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let go of one", and for games that have been reviewed with discordant content, they are directly required to be modified. If the development team is unwilling to modify it, no matter how popular the game is, it will be banned directly.

Because of this, the Game Authority has made countless players hate it, and they can't wait to blow up the Authority headquarters building directly with C4. It is already a miracle that the game "War Paradise" can pass the domestic review.

According to Lin Chi's previous guess, Pulse Entertainment Company should be the kind of existence with a "background", so it directly skipped the review process of the Administration Bureau and opened the server in China.

But if this is the case, the Authority, which was bought by Pulse Entertainment, should not investigate this company. What happened to make the Authority start investigating the details of Pulse Entertainment after allowing the game to be launched?

INTERVIEWER Could it be that the Authority has found any new information?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi focused his eyes on the Frankenstein at the door, and said the goal of this mission straightforwardly:

"Can you get into the Brain Imaging Game Authority's database?"

"It's difficult." Frankenstein told the truth: "I'm getting weaker at this. ”

Frankenstein, who has evolved from a virus to an advanced AI, is no longer the "TDK-131" that brought a bloody storm in the online world. But as it struggled toward the goal of "becoming human", its original ability to invade and destroy was also much less than before.

To put it simply, Frankenstein is like a thief who washes his hands in gold, and although the stealing skills are still there, he is not as skilled as before.

And the "human emotion", which must be maintained through a lot of calculations, has further weakened Frankenstein, and his strength has fallen to the same level as human hackers, perhaps weaker than those top hackers.

"Okay, help me get in touch with that hacker friend of yours." Lin Chi smiled: "I need her help." ”

"Hmm." Frankenstein nodded: "Please enter the realm with me, I will help you." ”

……

When two "athletic boys" in red tights appeared at the entrance to the field, it was ten o'clock in the morning.

As usual, District 13 is as chaotic as ever, with various signboards such as "PHUB", "Yerba Grass Community", and "CLIPS4SALE" popping up on the street. In this area, which has just been cleaned up by the Internet police, all kinds of unhealthy websites are like weeds that have been cut off, and they are thriving again.

Passing by a "Gay Club" signboard wrapped in purple lace on the side of the street, Lin Chi and Frankenstein, who used the muscular hunk module, quickly came to the illegal acceleration zone controlled by Frankenstein.

Since the thirteenth arrondissement had just been cleaned up, the accelerated area in the shape of this bar was still sparsely populated, and there was no one else here except for a few bold old customers who were still "playing on the computer".

Under the guidance of Frankenstein, entering an encrypted room, Lin Chi and Frankenstein waited in the dark for a moment, and a silver secret door appeared on the wall.

The mysterious hacker who used the little girl module entered the dark room directly from the entrance of the data channel, and was slightly surprised when he saw the two real hunks in the room:

"What's going on with this module, are you going to wrestle?"

"Just fell." Lin Chi teased, and then went straight to the point: "We plan to hire a hacker to get some secret information." Remuneration doesn't hurt you, you know. ”

Frankenstein, who didn't know the value of human money before, once hired this hacker at an extremely high price, and the hacker was also very relieved about the reward, and rubbed his hands confidently: "No problem, leave it to me!" Just tell me the information about the target! ”

"The target is the Brain Imaging Game Authority, and the intelligence needed is all about the keywords 'Pulse Entertainment' and 'War Paradise.'" Lin Chi immediately reported the action goal: "Can it be done?" ”

"Game Authority...... This one is a bit of a hassle. The hacker who used the girl module shook his slender arm: "I heard that they changed the encryption mode and got a new firewall......"

"If I can't do it, I'll go find someone else." This time, Frankenstein spoke.

"Of course it can be done. But you see, in terms of remuneration...... "The girl hacker seems to be testing the bottom line of the two: "I've been short of money recently......"

If it were the previous Frankenstein, he would probably pay directly without saying a word. But after a period of "evolution", Frankenstein is now much more savvy. immediately judged that the other party was planning to ask for more compensation, and then responded directly:

"Depending on your performance and speed, I will increase or decrease the remuneration as appropriate. Only a deposit can now be paid. ”

"Oh, well......"

Realizing that her "old customers" were not as easy to deceive as before, the girl hacker sighed with some regret, opened the door to the data channel, and turned around before leaving:

"I'll be right back, waiting for my good news-"

Before she could finish speaking, her body had been sucked into the dark and deep passage, and the door in the wall had suddenly disappeared.

Seeing the hacker leave here, Lin Chi turned his head to look at the "macho man" beside him, and said with an approving smile: "As for the rules of the human world, you learn very quickly." ”

"I hacked into the cameras and recording devices of the vegetable market near the community." Frankenstein said seriously.

"Are there still people buying vegetables in the vegetable market these days? Aren't they all housekeeping robots cooking? Lin Chi raised his eyebrows.

"According to statistics, some older women often buy vegetables, and their bargaining power is so strong that they can even make vending robots that are set to 'not reduce the price' reduce the price of vegetables." Frankenstein replied.

Watching the muscular man in red seriously talk about the topic of aunt buying groceries, Lin Chi felt a subtle sense of disobedience, and hurriedly stopped Frankenstein from continuing to discuss the topic of grocery shopping, and then asked, "When will the hacker come back?" ”

"Can't tell." Frankenstein shook his head: "The time of her mission varies, ranging from one minute to seventy-three hours and forty-five minutes. ”

"Do you want to wander around the field? Anyway, it's okay to be idle at this time. Lin Chi stood up and stretched out a strong hand to his partner.

"Let's go."

Frankenstein opened the secret door as the two of them emerged from the dark encrypted room back into the virtual sunlight of the realm.
