157 The mystery of Pulse Entertainment

Consciousness returned from the virtual world to the real body, Lin Chi disconnected, untied the restraints on his body, opened the safety lock of the game compartment from the inside, and slowly pushed open the hatch. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It's midnight in the real world, and the light in the living room is dim, but there are neon lights from the street, which are cast through the window, so that the room is not dark.

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

What catches your eye is a vast forest of steel and cement.

Even at midnight, the lights in the city were bright, and a thick screen of smoke rose from the surface. Darkens the dark-toned steel city below.

Towers of metal stand in the middle of a circular city, and the streets shimmer ghostly red, like torrents of lava.

Today's weather, as bad as ever.

By 2035, there will be no clear skies in the previously polluted industrial city, and despite official efforts to control pollution, it has not had much effect, only to make the city "uninhabitable" to a barely inhabitable level.

Lin Chi glanced at the transparent screen on the cabinet next to the wall, and the weather displayed on it was indeed smog again. He let out a long sigh 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" suddenly returned to his original state, listless, and the murderous ruler in the game did not look like the same person at all.

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

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

"The real world is not as interesting as the online world." The robot shook its little head and made an emotionless voice: "I want to go back." ”

"Are you going back to die?" Lin Chi smiled: "I've met the security guard in the game, guess what will happen if you meet him?" ”

- After being sealed in the wall, the antivirus software account named Magic Conch did not appear on the kill list, and may have been deprived of system privileges and forcibly quit the game.

After Frankenstein's true identity was revealed, antivirus software has been stationed in this game, and if this virus continues to go back to playing games, once it is discovered by antivirus software, I am afraid that there will be no escape!

“……”

The robot shook its head helplessly, and the speaker sounded again: "This world is boring." ”

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

Without waiting for the robot to answer, Lin Chi changed his words and asked, "By the way, did you notice any anomalies when you were in the game?" For example, 'NPCs may be operated by real people' or something? ”

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

Hearing this, the robot shook its head again and decisively gave a negative answer: "That's not the case." ”

"Why are you so sure?" Lin Chi asked.

"I'm a program born in the electronic world and can see the interfaces of all the characters in the game." Frankenstein explains, "The players have a red connector connected to the real body, and those NPCs have nothing on them. ”

"You are blatantly cheating......" Lin Chi sighed.

Hearing this, he finally understood the reason why Frankenstein maintained an undefeated record in the game: in a battle royale type game, it is undoubtedly a great advantage to be able to identify players hidden in the crowd of NPCs at a glance.

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

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

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

The games that are popular on the market today are also made by studios owned by those big companies. The reason why players are surprised is because the name of this so-called "Pulse Entertainment Company" has never been heard before.

If the development is a small game for leisure and entertainment, it is just that, and a game of the level of "War Paradise" 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 various continents, and has the qualification to operate online games in many countries, and does not need other agents, but directly operates the games by itself, which is basically equivalent to self-production and self-sale.

Pulse Entertainment's two branches in Asia, one in China and one in India, are not mentioned on the official website.

"I've tried to hack into Pulse Entertainment's database." The dancing robot nodded, shaking its slender arms like hemp rods, "But it can't get past their firewall." ”

Hearing this, Lin Chi frowned thoughtfully, recalling a news headline he had seen on the Internet a few months ago: "Shocked! The TDK-131 virus breaches the Pentagon's defense system. 》

Although most game companies also pay attention to protecting databases and servers, the level of protection is still far from the military's impregnable firewall.

If Frankenstein is right, it means that the strength of Pulse Entertainment's firewall is even higher than the military-grade protection standard!

Obviously, maintaining this level of protection requires a lot of time and effort, and maintenance is expensive. Since the company didn't do any human testing to "brainwash real people and throw them into the game to simulate NPCs", why did they need such strong protection?

Ordinary protective measures cannot reach this level, is this company originally related to the military?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi's brows furrowed even tighter, strode to the bedroom window, opened the curtains and stared at the street illuminated by the street lamps downstairs, and took a deep breath, looking like he was about to enter the "reasoning mode". And then......

"Let's sleep."

A sense of sleepiness came to his heart, and the "old salted fish" who couldn't lift his energy fell heavily on the bed, closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

Seeing that he was already asleep, the small red light on the head of the dancing robot flashed a few times, and slowly opened his slender legs, turning back to the living room.
