At around ten o'clock, Lu Ning returned to the dormitory. Several roommates have also returned. Except for Ying Caiyi who is still live broadcasting, the other two are already lying in bed.
"came back?"
Seeing Lu Ning come back, Ying Caiyi breathed a sigh of relief and turned off the microphone. Lu Ning could see that she was not playing the new game, but an old one. From the barrage of the live broadcast room connected to her mobile phone, we can also see that someone asked the anchor why he did not broadcast new games, but no one answered.
"Has there been any progress on what you told me before?"
"How much progress can be made on the Internet depends on everyone's opinions. I guess someone has approached the game company, and there will probably be a reply tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Although I don't want to blame the problem on the game, but I do have some special reactions, which are difficult to guarantee," Ying Caiyi said.
"You're not panicking?"
"Panic can solve nothing."
"Okay then, give me an address for discussion, and I'll go in and see how it goes."
After logging in to the address Ying Caiyi gave her, it was easy to see several posts discussing issues, all of which were talking about some physical discomfort she had. However, looking at the replies, most people are disapproving. After all, there are neither many nor few people who play this game, and not everyone has adverse effects from playing it. Many people are even laughing at "What kind of FPS do you play in Halo 3D?", "This game is not suitable for you" and the like.
There is no official announcement from the game company yet. Judging from the posts posted by people on the forum, many people are still continuing to play and do not take this situation seriously.
Lu Ning has already seen the monsters that appeared in the game in real life. This is no longer a simple similar problem. She looked up the information about the game developers of that game company, and found that the composition was the same as that of many game production teams. Several of the main people in charge had some experience in developing other games, but this was the first game she took the lead in developing.
Just then, her phone rang again.
Is it Lu Jingyi?
"Hello?"
"Hello, Lu, Lu Ning?" Lu Jingyi on the other side was panting and sounded panicked.
"It's me." Lu Ning frowned.
"I didn't see Meng Xilin when I went back to study tonight! She wasn't in the study room or anything! She never goes out at night. Please...please help me..."
This anxious tone doesn't seem to be hypocritical. Could it be that Lu Ning's previous suspicion was wrong? Just a coincidence? However, Meng Xilin had already been killed, but what she told Lu Jingyi would leave a clue here.
At the moment she doesn't want to be associated with any party.
"Did you tell the head teacher?"
"I have already said that I have told them about Meng Xilin's recent situation. Now the school is also helping to find someone, but I always feel... I always feel that the person can't be found..." Lu Jingyi even started to sob.
It really can't be found.
Lu Ning could only sigh secretly in her heart, comforted her a few words, and promised to help her search tomorrow. But the police will probably find the school tomorrow. Meng Xilin's body is left there, and it is still possible to investigate the identity.
After putting down the phone, Lu Ning continued to search for game-related posts on the Internet. It was difficult to distinguish useful momentum from a large amount of information that was not known to be true or false. She was not in the mood to compile a plug-in verification account, so she could only collect some official information. Announcements and statements for a rough analysis. The game's scores on several rating websites did not fluctuate much because of this rumor. After all, in the eyes of gamers, "poor health is due to playing games" and "poor study is due to playing games" are basically the same nonsense.
Her own game is already available for download. Since she can't find any key information online, she might as well actually play it.
Download the game, enter the interface, and after a simple animation cutscene, you will see the selection lobby interface that you have seen before in Ying Caiyi's place. Lu Ning directly chose the escape mode with the highest degree of freedom. In this mode, there will be an entire large map for players to survive. Whether you kill people or kill monsters, you can get survival points. The person with the highest survival points is the final winner, and of course, usually the person who survives to the end.
After the official release, there were many more people in the game. The room of 80 people quickly filled up, and the game started right after. Lu Ning put on her headphones and began to observe the content of the game attentively.
In some of the previous negative posts, there were also comments made by incompetent parents such as "too similar to reality", "easy to teach bad children", and "too scary". Lu Ning doesn't care about other things, what does it mean to be too similar to reality? Shooting games should themselves reference some realistic street design.
The character she chose was a highly agile person. After being "born" from the house, she immediately opened the map and looked at the entire map. The map of a city was correct, but she couldn't tell which city it was in a short time. Of course, what is different from reality is that in the game, you can find firearms, serious cold weapons and other game weapons from the house. Lu Ning quickly searched for a few pieces of equipment, then controlled the character and ran out of the house.
The increased reaction speed and judgment gained by exercising in the distribution center will help her improve her game level, but she needs to become more familiar with the operations and keys. After all, the simulation training system in the distribution center is a more advanced "game" to put it bluntly. The map area was not very small, and after about fifteen seconds, nearly twenty distortion point warnings flashed across the entire map.
"Lu Ning, why are you playing?" Ying Caiyi didn't know when she was behind Lu Ning.
"Give it a try. I won't play for too long anyway, so there won't be any problems." Lu Ning relied on the fact that she didn't bring much with her, and quickly shuttled between the streets, cutting out the direction of one of the distortion points on the map.
"Don't be so obvious about rushing. Many people in this game like to squat. In the beginning, squatting at the distortion point to snipe people who are rushing to the survival point is already a routine behavior..."
"I know, but the firearms given in the early stage don't seem to be long-distance sniper guns, right?" Lu Ning asked the character to crawl into an empty house, search for some bullets inside, and take a test aim with the gun, "So just be careful at a certain distance. It’s okay if you feel guilty.”
The sense of distance is usually not easy to cultivate. Of course, Ying Caiyi understood this, so she stood aside and looked at Lu Ning.
After the first batch of monsters were spawned, Lu Ning could already hear some scattered gunshots. Through the gunshots, he roughly determined that the weapons people obtained in the early stage did not include some powerful weapons. Of course, the monsters were not very powerful. The special setting of this game is that in any PVP confrontation mode, an unarmored headshot to the head will kill you with one shot, and it will be the same with any weapon. In the early stage, unless you pick it up at a construction site, police station, etc. on the map, Hard hat or bulletproof helmet, the rest is free.
When Lu Ning approached the distortion point, she began to move quietly along the obstacles. She walked very cautiously. There were already some monster corpses turning into black liquid around her, indicating that a brief firefight had already occurred here.
"What's the approximate health value of the monster?" Lu Ning asked Ying Caiyi.
"The first batch of monsters is basically about 500, and it may fluctuate depending on the situation. Special monsters have armor."
Lu Ning calculated it, five hundred. The monsters have weak points and damage. It would take less than two minutes to kill these monsters in total, assuming there is only one person.
She hid in a house and looked out through the gap in the window. From this angle, she could see some little monsters coming from the direction of the distortion point. There was also a thick fog in the direction of the distortion point, which meant there was water. Elites with specialized attributes.
Of course, Lu Ning's main purpose is to see what the mystery is in this game. At least so far, she has not felt any loss of life or any adverse reactions.
Then it's time to try another possibility.
About three minutes later, Lu Ning was killed with a headshot in a fierce exchange of fire with four people.
"Look, let me just say it's not that easy. You're being too reckless."
"Haha, give it a try." Lu Ning quickly opened the next game and died once. He still didn't feel that the game had any impact on him. It seems that a short period of play and a small number of deaths will not affect the player's health. .
After entering the map this time, it was actually not the city map before, but a suburban farm.
"Hmm... I remember that battle royale maps are not easy to make, right? How many maps are there in this game?"
"Six." Ying Caiyi has almost studied the game this day, "City, farm, mountain, blockade area, strait, jungle. The short names given by the players are like this. But this map is better than the old battle royale map. It should be small. After all, there is no setting to reduce the scope of activity. Players who are too far away may just kill monsters."
"Understood...oh."
On the screen, Lu Ning's character fell down again, with a crossbow arrow stuck in his forehead, and was killed from a long distance. In the early stage, when there were no snipers, the crossbow arrow did have the longest killing range.
After playing for about half an hour, Lu Ning gradually became proficient in the game operation, and even reached the final stage. About the time the fourth batch of monsters appeared, she was surrounded by six elites with enhanced fire attributes and crazy stacks of BUFFs. .
"It's so difficult."
"Your consciousness and body skills are very good, but your muscle reflexes and key position proficiency are not good. But if you practice hard, it is still easy to play." Ying Caiyi was very happy, "Many FPS novices often like to stand and output. Even if you move better, you are extremely upright, you are already very good!"
That is, this is related to reality.
"Okay, let's stop playing here first. I just gave it a try, and I don't feel any discomfort. Are you too hungry because you didn't eat well after playing all day?" Lu Ning asked with a smile.
"Hahaha, maybe..."
Lu Ning didn't want her roommates to be involved in unrelated dangers. This could be regarded as a reward for taking care of them before. She planned to handle this matter alone as much as possible.
There is still a suspected distortion point in the school that has not been dealt with yet.
After everyone was asleep, Lu Ning quietly stood up, picked up a bolt of lightning, jumped out of the window, and then rushed to the chemistry building. The place that Meng Xilin was really referring to was here, so she should have encountered something here before to become like that.
Speaking of which...she still hasn't figured out the origin of the distortion point. The distortion that Lu Ning could see that could not be observed with the naked eye was not a distortion point, but the effect it brought. According to the introduction of the game, the distortion point itself is a zero-dimensional "point" that can only be passed through its effect. Confirm its existence.
If this were in a distribution center, the spatial dimension problem would be relatively easy to solve, but when it comes to reality, it is not an easy matter to deal with. Lu Ning didn't want to create the same apocalyptic scene in her hometown as in the scene mission.
While she was thinking, she had already touched the door of Office No. 70. Of course, a door could not stop "Judgment Day", and the door lock was cut off with just a swipe.
The room was a mess, and there were many torn pieces of paper on the ground. Each piece of paper had similar symbols written on it, with unknown meanings. The distortion in the room felt more severe, but the center point could not be found. Lu Ning searched for it, and among the pieces of paper on the floor, only one piece of paper was intact.
She picked up the paper, and the moment she saw the words on it, "Quietness" was suddenly touched.
"Quietness"'s armor basic protection function is immune to abnormal conditions below level three. This level classification is calculated according to the distribution center, and general mental pollution and other methods will be completely blocked. Lu Ning raised her eyebrows, carefully read the symbols on the paper several times, memorized them, and then used a handful of electric sparks to burn the paper to ashes.
Forbidden knowledge? It doesn't seem to be the case. It's much more obscene than that. It's just a visual signal that drives people crazy. This is also good, at least it shows that the real gods behind it are not the ones Lu Ning knows, but just the behavior of ordinary intelligent life, most of which are human beings.
There are still such dangerous people in this world? Lu Ning couldn't help but worry. Does his return also mean that peace will no longer exist in his world?
After the paper was burned to ashes, the distorted feeling in the room gradually returned to normal. Lu Ning found an engraved seal in the drawer and confirmed that this was the room of Professor Ge mentioned on the forum. From this point of view, Professor Ge had probably been stimulated by the symbols and turned into a madman. If it is excessive knowledge, knowledge will be divided, but ordinary people are completely unable to resist mental pollution.
After handling this matter, Lu Ning went back to the dormitory to rest without noticing. However, early the next morning, another major incident broke out——
The gaming company behind the game "Point of Distortion" appears to have been attacked.
This is the news I saw on the Yingcai Yiyi forum, and it even comes with pictures.
The emerging game company only rented a few rooms on the first floor as a workplace. This attack could not even be said to be targeted at the game company, but the entire floor was turned into a mess.
The only good news is that there was no blood or bodies.
