1693 〈Gun Gale Online〉

——— .

When this term was introduced into Luo Zhen's ears, Luo Zhen frowned.

"It seems you don't know."

Kikuoka Seijiro didn't know if he understood Luo Zhen's thoughts, and immediately said so after hearing Luo Zhen's silence.

"Then do you know the game ?"

Luo Zhen has heard of this game.

No, it should be said that anyone who has played VR games or paid attention to VR games will have heard of this game more or less, right?

the reason is simple.

"That's the most popular virtual reality game today, and it's also the biggest gunfight game right now."

Luo Zhen revealed the information of this game.

It is the same as today's games, it is a virtual reality game created by , referred to as -- .

The world view of GGO is not regarded as mainstream fantasy, but a relatively rare future science and technology. Years later, the players came back again, and the players were the human beings who returned to the earth.

And in the huge civilization that collapsed in the past war, there are countless automatic combat machines and genetically modified monsters in various urban ruins.

Players take risks on such a dilapidated land, seeking various treasures left over from past civilizations.

This is GGO's game world view.

In terms of world view, this game is quite satisfactory.

Still, it's arguably the most popular virtual reality game.

Because it is the only game among all VRMMOs that can convert game currency into real currency.

Players of the game can then convert the money they earn in the game into electronic currency, and use electronic currency to make payments in the real world.

With such a mechanism,

Naturally, there are all kinds of people who hope to make money in the game, invest in this game, and are obsessed with it at all costs.

For this reason, the game called GGO has also become the only game with professional players.

They regard playing games as their career, and devote themselves to GGO almost all year round, and exchange the money they earn from it for cash to maintain their lives and even their families.

It is said that the truly top professional players can earn a fixed income every month in GGO. Although it only looks like 200,000 to 300,000 yen, it is enough to live a normal life, and occasionally there will be some income. Someone with a very rare item appeared, and if they auctioned off that item in the game, they could get tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yen at a time.

With such a good thing, the players naturally got into it one by one.

You can play games and make money, the best of both worlds, making the atmosphere inside the game very lively.

Of course, the operator also wants to make money, not just paying in vain. Players who choose to play GGO not only need to pay a monthly connection fee of 3,000 yen, but it is also difficult for ordinary players to earn a large amount of money.

If even the top professional players can earn only 200,000 to 300,000 yen a month, the average player can earn 1,000 yen a month, which is considered pretty good.

Even so, there are still not a few people who fantasize about getting rich overnight in the virtual world.

Therefore, players in GGO spend more time and enthusiasm in the game than players in other games, and the various disputes in it are also very cruel. Compared with ALO, they encourage PK, which is very cruel.

Since Kikuoka Seijiro mentioned this game, the problem probably lies in this game.

as expected...

"In GGO, there is a very high-level player who won the strongest knockout competition held in October, and was invited by to be interviewed."

Kikuoka Seijiro said so.

The so-called "MMO Trends" refers to an online TV program, which can not only be watched from TV or the Internet in the real world, but also can be watched inside the game, so that countless hotels and hotels in the VRMMO world often broadcast this program , highly respected by players.

In particular, "This Week's Winner", a popular unit in "MMO Trends", invites high-level players from various games to come for interviews every week, and many players are proud to be on this program.

Luo Zhen had been invited several times before, but he rejected them all.

The player Kikuoka Seijiro mentioned had been on this show.

"The other party is the player who won the championship in GGO's strongest knockout match held last month - . When participating in the program, the connection was suddenly disconnected and the program was interrupted."

Kikuoka Seijiro's tone became serious.

"And last month, in a certain apartment in Nakano District, Tokyo, the landlord found a man dead inside, wearing on his head and looking online."

Hearing this, Luo Zhen narrowed his eyes.

This is actually not surprising.

In this year, it was not uncommon for players in full stealth to be found dead at home wearing .

Some of them died suddenly due to excessive game time, and some had a false sense of fullness because they had been eating imaginary food in the game, resulting in forgetting to eat, or not eating in the real world, which had adverse effects on the body and malnutrition , and eventually died at home.

With that in mind, this shouldn't be anything particularly noteworthy.

but...

"This person is the player mentioned just now." Kikuoka Seijiro said: "He suddenly had an accident on the show, and died directly in reality, and some players mentioned him in the blog, saying that he had an accident At that time, a very strange thing happened in GGO."

What's the matter?

"In the hotel of SBC Glocken, the capital of the GGO world, a player yelled words such as "accept punishment" and "go to hell" at the dead who appeared on the show, and then fired bullets at the screen, and the other party An accident really happened, and he died directly. "

Kikuoka Seijiro spoke something creepy with calm words.

"In addition, a similar case happened ten days ago. A dead body was found in a two-story apartment somewhere in Omiya District, Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture. The other person was also wearing a AmuSphere> died on the spot. He was also a top player in GGO. He seemed to be attending a guild meeting in the central square of Gloken before he died. Sudden disconnection."

Hearing this, Luo Zhen probably understood what Kikuoka Seijiro was going to say.

"Is it the same person who attacked these two people in GGO?"

Luo Zhen is so sure.

"That's right."

Kikuoka Seijiro spoke calmly.

"And he reported his name, or nickname, in both of these attacks."

That name or nickname is exactly...

"—that's what the other party calls themselves."
