——.
When this term came to 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, but after hearing Luo Zhen's silence, he immediately spoke out like this.
"Then do you know the game ?"
Luo Zhen had heard of this game.
No, it should be said that anyone who plays VR games or pays attention to VR games will have heard of this game to some extent, right
the reason is simple.
"That's the most popular virtual reality game right now, and it's the biggest gun-fighting game right now."
Luo Zhen revealed the information about this game.
Like today's games, it is a virtual reality game created with "The Seed", referred to as "GGO".
The world view of GGO is not considered a mainstream fantasy type, but a relatively rare future technology type. The stage of the game is set on an earth where civilization has been destroyed due to the war. Human beings once left this planet, and until hundreds of years ago, Returning again years later, the players are the humans who returned to Earth.
In the huge civilizations that collapsed in the past wars, there are countless automatic combat machines and genetically modified monsters in various urban ruins.
Players venture on such a dilapidated land, seeking various treasures left over from past civilizations.
This is the game worldview of GGO.
In terms of world view, this game is quite satisfactory.
However, it is truly 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 this game can exchange the money they earn from the game into electronic currency and use the 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 and invest in it, and they are obsessed with it at all costs.
For this reason, the game called GGO has become the only game with professional players.
They regard playing games as their profession, and devote themselves to GGO almost all year round, converting the money they earn into cash to support 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 is only 200,000 to 300,000 yen, it is enough to live a normal life, and occasionally you can get something. Someone with a very rare item appears, and if you auction that item in the game, you can get tens of thousands of yen or hundreds of thousands of yen at a time.
With such a good thing, players naturally dive into it one by one.
You can play games and make money at the same time, the best of both worlds, making the atmosphere inside the entire game very lively.
Of course, the operator also wants to make money, and will not just pay 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 large amounts of money.
If even the top professional players can only earn 20,000 to 300,000 yen a month, the average player can earn 1,000 yen a month, which is already considered very good.
Even so, there are still many people who fantasize about getting rich overnight in an imaginary world.
Therefore, the time and enthusiasm that players in GGO put into the game are unmatched by players in other games. The various disputes in GGO are also very cruel. Compared with ALO, they encourage PK, which is very cruel.
Since Kikuoka Seijiro mentioned this game, the problem probably lies with this game.
as expected...
"In GGO, there is a very high-level player who won the strongest player elimination tournament held in October. He was invited by "MMO Trends" and interviewed."
Kikuoka Seijiro said this.
The so-called "MMO Trend" refers to an online TV program that can be watched not only on TV or the Internet in the real world, but also within the game. This program is often played in countless hotels and hotels in the VRMMO world. , highly respected by players.
Especially "This Week's Winner", a popular section in "MMO Trends", invites high-level players in various games to be interviewed every week, making many players proud to be on this program.
Luo Zhen had been invited several times before, but he had rejected them all.
The player mentioned by Seijiro Kikuoka was on this show.
"The opponent is the player who won the championship in the strongest elimination tournament held by GGO last month - "The Bullet of Bullets (BoB)" - but when he was participating in the show, his connection was suddenly disconnected and the show was interrupted."
Kikuoka Seijiro's tone became serious.
"Last month, in an apartment in Nakano District, Tokyo, the landlord found a man dead inside, wearing an on his head and looking connected."
Hearing this, Luo Zhen narrowed his eyes.
This is actually not a strange thing.
During this year, it was not uncommon for players in full stealth to be found dead at home while wearing .
Some of them died suddenly because of too long game time, and some of them died because they kept eating imaginary food in the game and had a false sense of satiety. As a result, they forgot to eat or did not eat in the real world, which had adverse effects on the body and led to malnutrition. , and eventually died at home.
With all that in mind, this shouldn't be anything special to note.
but...
"This person is the player I just mentioned." Kikuoka Seijiro said: "He suddenly had an accident on the show and died directly in reality. However, a player mentioned him in the blog and said that he had an accident. At that time, a very strange thing happened in GGO."
What's going on
"In the hotel of SBC Glocken, the capital of the GGO world, a player shouted "Accept the sanction" and "Go to hell" at the dead person who appeared on the show, and then fired bullets at the screen. As a result, the other person Something really happened and he died directly. "
Kikuoka Seijiro spoke with calm words that made people feel a little creepy.
"In addition, there was a similar case that occurred ten days ago. Somewhere in Omiya-ku, Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture, a body was found in a two-story apartment. The other person was also wearing a AmuSphere> died on the spot. He was also a top GGO player. Before his death, he seemed to be attending a guild meeting in the central square of Glocken City. When he was speaking on the podium, a player who broke into the meeting suddenly shot him, and then he Suddenly disconnected."
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 was so sure.
"That's right."
Kikuoka Seijiro spoke frankly.
"And he gave his name, or nickname, in both attacks."
That name or nickname is exactly...
"—that's what the other party calls himself."
