Lin Ze's heart skipped a beat, but he did not rush forward. Instead, he stood there and frowned at the other party.
The girl looked at him for a few seconds, then pointed to the coffee shop next to her, turned around and walked inside.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Lin Ze quickly followed and entered the coffee shop with her.
The two of them chose a quiet place to sit down, placed their orders, and after the waiter brought the coffee, Lin Ze looked at the girl intently and asked in a low voice: "What's going on in the game?"
"Haven't you experienced it yourself?"
The girl's deep, amber-like eyes stared at Lin Ze without blinking. Her delicate fair face, set against the orange light, was so beautiful and dazzling that it was almost impossible to look directly at her.
"Taking risks and becoming stronger, this is the main body of the game."
"What's the purpose?" Lin Ze frowned slightly, "The purpose of pulling us into the game is not just to make us stronger and then become supermen in reality, right?"
The reason why I said it was us was because Lin Ze recalled that when he met the girl this morning, the basket she was holding was filled with many pairs of identical sunglasses.
In other words, he is not the only player in the game.
"That's really part of the purpose."
The girl did not correct Lin Ze's terminology, apparently acknowledging the plural existence of players.
"We need a lot of manpower to help us hunt down monsters, and the training series of games is like a training camp for players to grow and develop, so that you have the strength to fight against monsters."
"In fact, we were originally able to deal with the monsters by ourselves, but in the past two years, the frequency of monsters appearing has become more and more frequent. In desperation, we launched the game and started recruiting players as helpers."
us?
Lin Ze keenly caught a word in the girl's words, but before he could ask the question, he was shocked by the words that followed.
"Monster? What is that?"
"Monsters born from human negative emotions and feeding on them."
"You mean, this kind of monster exists in reality?" Lin Ze raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Why have I never heard of it?"
"We have dedicated personnel responsible for dealing with monsters and eliminating the effects of monsters, so ordinary people don't know the existence of monsters."
Lin Ze suddenly realized, then frowned and said: "Hunting monsters doesn't sound like a safe thing, is it life-threatening?"
The girl nodded calmly.
"If a character dies in the game, he can spend points to resurrect, and it will have no impact on reality. But if he dies in reality, it is real death."
"I don't think many people are willing to face this kind of life risk. After all, why would you choose me to be a player?"
"I didn't choose you, but the game chose you."
Lin Ze looked puzzled.
"We are only responsible for delivering the game login device, which is the sunglasses you are wearing now. What is really responsible for selecting players is the game itself." The girl explained calmly, "Generally speaking, the selected players basically have all the necessary skills.
One of the two qualities is either being disappointed with the monotonous and ordinary real life, eager to make changes, subconsciously longing for excitement and the unusual, or deep down in the heart, there is a desire to realize, or even obsession."
"People with one of these two characteristics are the potential player group."
Having said this, the girl looked at Lin Ze more and more deeply, her eyes seemed to be asking which type do you belong to?
There was a sudden silence on the coffee table.
Lin Ze lowered his eyes and stared blankly at the mocha coffee in front of him. After a long while, he spoke in a low voice, his eyes a little dazed.
"It is mentioned in the game that as long as you accumulate 100,000 points, you can realize any wish. Is this true?"
"real."
"Any wish is okay?"
"right."
"Is it possible to resurrect the dead?"
The girl paused, glanced at the expressionless Lin Ze, and then nodded decisively: "Yes."
"I understand." Lin Ze was silent for a moment and whispered, "How can I get points?"
"Earn achievements in the game and hunt monsters."
Achievement?
A thoughtful look flashed in Lin Ze's eyes, and he continued: "Where can I find monsters?"
"Monsters feed on human beings' negative emotions. Wherever they live, some weird phenomena will appear. Many urban legends come from this. You can pay more attention to them."
"In addition, even the weakest monster is far more powerful than you are now, so I don't recommend that you hunt monsters before you gain a certain level of strength."
"What level of strength is required?" Lin Ze asked.
"After the game lasts 10 hours longer than the real time, the assessment copy will be opened. As long as you can successfully pass it, you can then try to hunt monsters."
"I understand." Lin Ze nodded, "Last question, who are you?"
"We are the operators of the game, and we are also the maintainers."
"What do you mean? You didn't create the game?" Lin Ze looked surprised. Seeing the girl admitting it frankly, he followed up and asked, "Then who created these games?"
The girl shook her head: "I can't tell you the answer yet. When you have enough strength, you can find the corresponding answer without me answering it."
"All right."
"In addition, it should be noted that any information about monsters and games must not be disclosed to ordinary people. Violations will be punished by the law enforcement team, and in serious cases, they may even be wiped out."
Lin Ze had expected it and was not surprised at all when he heard this and nodded.
To be able to conceal the existence of monsters and training series games in the Internet information age, there must be strict regulations on player confidentiality. Lin Ze even believes that even if a player accidentally leaks this information, the game maintainers must have corresponding measures.
Eliminate the impact.
"By the way!" He suddenly remembered something and looked up at the girl, "What are the special permissions?"
"That's a little gift I gave you. You are the only one who owns it now."
Lin Ze was stunned, did you mean his exclusive golden finger?
"Why?" He looked at the girl in confusion.
His response was a shake of the head.
"You will naturally know later."
"" Lin Ze was speechless for a long time, why should everything be made so mysterious?
"It's time for me to leave." The girl suddenly stood up and whispered, "Remember not to mention the special permissions and your meeting with me to anyone, including other game maintainers."
Lin Ze declined and asked, "What's your name?"
"Lolo."
Lin Ze recited it silently in his mind, and when he raised his head again, he found that the girl had disappeared, leaving only a cup of completely untouched coffee on the table opposite, with wisps of steam rising.
After staring blankly at the coffee for a long time, he slumped his shoulders and back as if relaxed, leaned on the back of the soft sofa, and turned his head to look through the glass at the flow of people passing by outside the store.
