In the past month, Xu Jing has obtained a lot of information that ordinary people don't know by operating chat rooms.

Among them, there are several unknown websites, and most of the illegal things sold on these websites cannot be exposed.

He registered an account on one of the websites called "Elite Profile", and then used a small sum of money to buy the system access and password for the registration data of US federal citizens.

In reality, even if they work for the government, many people are forced by life or greed to embark on the road of breaking the law and committing crimes, and the one he bought was leaked by a government official.

With this, Xu Jing easily boarded the citizen registration file management center, and then created a new citizen file on it, entering the fingerprints and retina shape information of a deceased person that had been prepared long ago.

In this way, he has a legal identity in the real world - Xu Jing, Chinese, 20 years old, bachelor's degree in social sciences, clean credit rating, and, of course, a social security code made up.

Once completed, he entered the same information on his character's profile panel with the same information on his fingerprint and retina items, tying the character to a fake identity.

Oasis has expressly stated that the company's employees do not have the right to inquire about any player's information unless there are special circumstances.

Therefore, Xu Jing no longer has to worry about the identity of his NPC being exposed, he is now a legitimate Oasis player, and he can't find any problems.

And he is actually an NPC in essence, and he doesn't use fingerprints and retinal information at all, and the player's identity is just a layer of his disguise, just like a demon with a layer of painted skin.

He didn't even think about inheriting Halliday's inheritance, and even if he found an easter egg at that time, he didn't have to worry about real things, and by the time the third party in charge of the oasis thought of checking his information through the court, he would have already returned to the Overworld.

"Buy a new name and you won't have any problems with a makeover."

Xu Jing then familiarized himself with the website that sold character names, turned to the last few pages, and spent a thousand oasis points to buy an inconspicuous name - Andrew.

This name is the same as the robot in "Machine Butler", if he hadn't made up countless movies some time ago, he wouldn't have thought of it, maybe because this name is not as famous as Ultron, so the price is not expensive.

Walking on the street of a strange planet, he naturally changed his corresponding appearance, there were people coming and going on the street, and there were all kinds of strange characters.

Xu Jing came to a commercial planet called Tianping Star, which is still a PVE area, and Ludes is different from Ludes, there is a relatively high-level equipment commercial street here, and the purpose of his coming here is to buy a piece of equipment, and then find a place to upgrade, after the level strength is enough, he will go to find the first key.

As for where the first key to the Easter egg is, he already has a clue, which is the inspiration he got when he talked about Halliday while playing a game with Wade.

Although Xu Jing has not yet been to the Halliday Archives, he has read a lot of biographies, and the hunters know his life experience well, and there are discussions everywhere on the forum.

Almost all biographies or discussions have documented that Halliday was a socially ignorant person, autistic, introverted, and despite his high IQ, he was a mess in his studies, and his entire attention was on comics, fantasy, movies, and games, especially games.

When Halliday was in junior high school, he was obsessed with Dungeons & Dragons and often studied the gamer's manual, but he didn't have any like-minded friends at the time, so he had to do his own research.

However, his classmate Ogden Morrow noticed the books he was reading and invited him to join the weekly running group party, and it was at Moreau's house that Halliday met a group of otaku like him and had his first circle of friends.

Moreau became Halliday's best friend, and later a business partner and collaborator, and the two complemented each other to start a social game company, with Halliday only responsible for developing the game, and Moreau taking care of all the commercial and public relations matters.

Beginning in the '90s, the decade followed with a series of best-selling action and adventure games that changed the gaming industry, and by the end of the twentieth century, Halliday was recognized as the greatest game designer of his generation.

Then the social gaming company was silent for more than a decade, and suddenly it released Oasis that changed the entire industry and the whole world.

Although no one has found the clue of the brass key in five years, everything about Halliday is still the hottest topic in the oasis, and Xu Jing's ears are almost calloused when he hears it, but for the sake of the task, he still has to study it deeply, and even write down all the information he can find and analyze it carefully.

The key to finding the first key, the most important hint comes from the video released after Halliday's death, in which his controlling character, Anoke, gives a hint: "The key is invisible, hidden in the dark room in the middle of the labyrinth, and the labyrinth is in my head." ”

Undoubtedly, the most important clue in this sentence is the "labyrinth", and the brain represents the Halliday Archive, which means that the archive hides information about the labyrinth.

But anyone who has an idea of Easter eggs can basically think of this, so countless people flocked to the archives to find clues to the maze.

However, there is no part of the labyrinth in the Halliday's archives, and the only movie-like clips of his memories are the memories of his life, from childhood to adulthood, from youth to death.

Wade had been to the Halliday Archive, and when he was teaching Xu Jing to play the game, he talked about Halliday's life, and talked about how Moro invited Halliday to a running group (tabletop role-playing game) party, which they played throughout middle school, and that it was a large part of the Archive's content on Halliday's life.

They play Dungeons & Dragons the most, and the others, although they do, are relatively few.

The speaker had no intention, but he listened to it with a heart, and Xu Jing was inspired by this sentence.

When he was learning to play games, he also studied the history of game development by the way, and the emergence of tabletop role-playing games created a precedent for role-playing games and also led to the development of this type of game.

In this type of game, the maze is represented as an adventure arena with all kinds of wonders, puzzles or treasures, such as caves, artificial buildings, monster lairs, dense forests or mountain paths.

There are villains or ferocious creatures wandering in the labyrinth, and there may also be traps, unidentified facilities, ruins, etc.

The tabletop role-playing game "Dungeons & Dragons" is the most typical of them, and large mazes with dozens of floors and hundreds of meters underground under the city are very common.

From this, Xu Jing is sure that the clue to the brass key must be in this kind of game, this kind of game that exists in the oasis, and "Dungeons & Dragons" is the most suspicious.
