Chapter 141 Earth Wasteland Chapter (7)

“I think we should re-examine their strategy…”

“Yeah… what exactly did they do…”

When Doomsday Assault and Final Assault saw the headless corpse on the ground, its clothes in disarray, and the fragmented tentacle creatures scattered not far away, they were instantly dumbfounded.

Doomsday Assault said, "If the head just now was meant to create psychological pressure, then what is this supposed to be?"

Final Assault continued, "Could it be like this…" A thought-provoking change appeared on his stiff face, "After beheading this person, they temporarily split up. Mad Track Sword Shadow went back with the head, while that guy named…" He glanced at the game menu, "that guy named Feng Bujue stayed here alone and did something to the corpse…"

"Is that guy a pervert…" Doomsday Assault said, "Speaking of which, there are very thorough restrictions on this kind of indecent behavior in Thriller Paradise, right? What exactly could he do?"

"How would I know…" Final Assault replied, "I'm just guessing. Maybe we misunderstood… Maybe they were just being very thorough when searching the corpse."

"I hope so…" Doomsday Assault swallowed.

The two from Corpse Blades felt a strange psychological pressure at this moment, which had a greater impact on them than seeing a horribly dead head.

This had to do with "that drug" they were using…

Just as Mad Track Sword Shadow had said, the members of Corpse Blades Studio cheated. It couldn't be said that they were the scourge of the industry, but they had their own way of doing things.

Take making a movie as an example. Suppose an unknown screenwriter spends years, even decades, writing scripts and soliciting sponsorships, working tirelessly to produce a low-budget production that eventually earns five times the investment at the box office.

Another screenwriter with a little more connections spends a few months writing a terrible script, finds a few celebrity stars to play the lead roles, and uses all kinds of vulgar and exaggerated publicity stunts to trick the audience into the movie theater, earning the same amount of money.

The economic benefits obtained by these two types of people are the same in the end. The difference is that the former may gain some reputation, which is an intangible asset, while the latter is drowned in骂声.

But what is the result? People are ultimately forgetful. When the former disappears for the next few years to prepare a new script, the latter continues to produce similar bad movies every year with the same methods and the same profits…

This example can be applied to countless industries. In this world, to achieve a goal, there is not necessarily only one path to take. As long as one abandons the constraints of morality or certain other principles, there are countless ways to choose.

Corpse Blades Studio has made significant contributions to the exploration of the gray areas of online games. When it comes to exploiting loopholes and finding bugs, they are even ahead of studios like Gods. Of course, even if this is Corpse Blades' strongest point, it is still inferior to Order, after all, Order is the leader in the industry, its strength and foundation are there. A studio like Corpse Blades, which takes a crooked path, will never be able to mix into the "top" ranks.

But reaching this point is enough for them to enjoy. To put it bluntly, everyone's fundamental purpose is to make money and profit. As for reputation, so be it, this world is very realistic. As long as the money is in place, people will naturally come to curry favor and whitewash.

The professional players and staff of Corpse Blades don't even sign contracts directly with the studio. There are many benefits to third-party contracts. Even if someone sues, it doesn't matter. When that time comes, they will dissolve that shell company and register a new one, just changing the sign.

They are already exploiting these loopholes in reality, so they are even more unscrupulous in games. Corpse Blades Studio even has a professional team to develop plug-ins. To this day, there are still players using the paid plug-ins provided by Corpse Blades in many games they have entered.

Those "consumable" games don't care even if players are banned. The games themselves are charging fees under the guise of being permanently free, and the operators are only thinking about how much they can get before the servers are shut down. Therefore, account registration is very open, and there is no need to bind it to a citizen ID. The same person can register n accounts. Being banned doesn't matter, just register another account and continue to cheat. Players can understand the mentality, to play happily and win, they have to compete with other players in spending money. This money is given to the game company like throwing it into a bottomless pit. It's better to cheat, it's just as happy, just as winning, and the total bill is cheaper than those limited-time equipment and props. When they don't want to play anymore, they just stop renewing their subscription.

However, in the era of the fourth-generation quantum computer, it is already very difficult to cheat without being discovered from a technical point of view. Even if you insert some undetectable illegal hardware into the game pod to assist, it is difficult to do. As long as the operator and the game itself are not too bad, cheating will be discovered sooner or later.

Therefore, Corpse Blades naturally has other methods. They also develop some illegal auxiliary "plug-ins". The function of this type of software is similar to a plug-in, but it can only be said to be on the edge. Perhaps in the competition of top experts, the effect of this auxiliary tool is almost negligible, but in competitions where the level is not so high, using this type of tool can gain a considerable advantage.

In addition, Corpse Blades also does not shy away from the increasingly bad image of the studio, and often does some malicious competitive activities, the target is nothing more than their peers. Of course, they don't dare to touch the big mountains like Order and Gods, they still know their limits, and they can't afford to offend opponents that are too powerful. But for studios that are similar to their own, they are merciless, spreading news everywhere to smear others, attacking the other party's servers, etc. The effect is more or less there, and it has indeed brought down some other studios.

In short, these guys are professional, they have made a fortune by taking the wrong path, and have embarked on a broad road.

There is a saying that goes, what goes around, comes around. Corpse Blades eventually ran into a wall in a certain game, no… it was a bloody nose. That game was Thriller Paradise.

The system of this game is simply impeccable, and there is no way to cheat on the data level.

So, they secretly organized a network attack, wanting to hack the "Dream Company's" server and test its elasticity.

As a result… something happened. Not only did Corpse Blades not break through Dream Company's firewall, but they were also counter-attacked. An unknown virus bypassed countless fake IPs and puppet machines, directly infecting and destroying Corpse Blades' own system.

That day, a round cartoon face appeared on all the computer screens in the entire company building. It was a wretched image wearing glasses, constantly emitting a lewd "Hehehe…" The data in all their computer hard drives was destroyed, and the loss was unimaginable. It couldn't be described as hurting their muscles and bones, it was simply cutting off their hands and feet.

And the most terrifying thing that day was that the laptop on the desk of the chairman of Corpse Blades Studio exploded… He had only seen it in movies before, that national-level special agent hackers remotely overheated the other party's laptop battery, causing an explosion. He never thought that he would experience it himself in his lifetime.

Due to the particularity of this matter, Corpse Blades Studio could only suffer in silence, swallowing all the bitterness. They never dared to have the idea of ​​launching a network attack against Dream Company again…

Later, Corpse Blades' hardware R&D department also suffered a blow. They tried various models of illegal external hardware, and none of them worked on the game pods released by Dream Company. The technical reasons were difficult to determine, and even if the game pods were disassembled, they could not find any problems.

This situation was unprecedented. In this day and age, with so many technicians, they couldn't even do some cheating tricks in the game. Was there any justice? Was this Dream Company the Department of Defense or something?

So, the members of Corpse Blades Studio united and worked together. After many meetings and discussions, they finally came up with a way… to make a fuss about the players.

"pu63" is the code name of a drug. What the situation is with models from pu01 to pu62, people don't know. Anyway, pu63 has now become the only way for Corpse Blades Studio to攻略Thriller Paradise.

The intricate cooperative relationship between Corpse Blades Studio and a certain unscrupulous pharmaceutical factory will not be mentioned here for the time being.

In short, after drinking this potion, the player's spirit will fall into a state called "sober anesthesia." This seems to be two contradictory words, but the general meaning is also easy to understand. This is a kind of "forced calmness."

All experimental data show that players who take pu63 have never exceeded 50% of the peak value of their fear in the script. Without affecting thinking activities, their pain tolerance will also be improved, and in emergency situations (such as intense battles), they can react more quickly.

To put it more bluntly, this is a different kind of "stimulant" given to players.

The game pod only monitors the player's heart rate, pulse, blood pressure, and other data, and cannot provide drug testing functions. Therefore, this drug can be used unscrupulously.

Currently, Corpse Blades' pu63 is only used by its internal players. They have not yet planned to sell it externally, but the sales plan has been scheduled. It is believed that this thing will appear on various third-party trading websites within the next two months, but that is another story…

Back to the story… So, the confidence of these two from Corpse Blades is not without reason. With the assistance of drugs, although they will still be afraid, the degree of their fear… at least it will be alleviated physiologically.

With this kind of psychological advantage under external factors, coupled with the actual advantage in game level, it is normal for them to think that they will win.

"Wait… what's that…" Final Assault said, and squatted down again. At this moment, he stared intently and found that there seemed to be some traces under the corpse's half-lifted T-shirt.

Doomsday Assault also squatted down and leaned closer to observe.

Final Assault lifted the corpse's T-shirt and saw the situation there. Not far above the corpse's stomach, a line of words was carved, carved very deeply, cutting into the flesh.

"whysoserious?" Doomsday Assault read out the line of words and looked up at his teammate and said, "What's this supposed to mean?"

"This is…" Final Assault was also confused. Suddenly, he discovered that at the "question mark" at the end of the carved line, a strand of metal wire was emerging from under the skin. He reached out and pinched the end of the metal wire with two fingers, wanting to pull it out and see…

…………

Bang!

At the same time, in another part of the laboratory, Feng Bujue glanced at the game menu after hearing the explosion, and then listlessly said, "Tch… only one died…"
