Death Spear.
When that name entered Rozen's ears, Rozen frowned.
"It seems that you don't know about it."
Seijiro Kikuoka seemed to understand what Rozen was thinking. After hearing Rozen's silence, he immediately spoke.
"Then you know Gun.
You mean the game Online? "
Rozen had heard of that game before.
No, it should be said that anyone who played VR games or paid attention to VR games would have more or less heard of this game, right?
The reason was simple.
"It's the most popular virtual reality game today, and it's also the most popular gun-based game."
Rozen told him the information about that game.
It was the same as other games today.
The virtual reality game created by Seed was called GGO for short.
GGO's world view wasn't regarded as a mainstream fantasy game, but a relatively rare futuristic technology game. The game's stage was set on Earth, where civilization was destroyed because of the war. Humans once left the planet and didn't return until hundreds of years later. The players were the humans who returned to Earth.
In the ruins of the great civilization that collapsed in the war, there were countless automatic combat machines and genetically modified monsters in various urban ruins.
Hence, the players ventured into such a dilapidated land, seeking the various treasures left behind by the past civilizations.
That was GGO's world view.
In terms of the world view, this game was relatively normal.
However, it was one of the most popular virtual reality games in the world.
This was because it was the only VRMMO that could convert the in-game currency into real-life currency.
Players of this game could convert the money they earned from the game into electronic currency, and use the electronic currency to make payments in the real world.
With such a mechanism, naturally, there were all kinds of people who wanted to make money in the game, and they were obsessed with it.
Due to this reason, GGO became the only game with professional gamers.
They regarded playing games as their profession, and they devoted themselves to GGO almost all year round, converting the money they earned into cash to maintain their lives and even their families.
It was said that the real professional players could earn a fixed amount of money in GGO every month. Although it was only 200,000 to 300,000 Yen, it was enough for them to live a normal life. Occasionally, there would be players who obtained quite rare items. If those items were auctioned in the game, they could earn tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of Yen at a time.
Such a good thing naturally attracted the players one by one.
Not only could they play the game, but they could also make money, which made the atmosphere in the game very lively.
Of course, the operators also wanted to make money, and they wouldn't do it for nothing. Players who chose to play GGO not only had to pay 3,000 Yen per month, but it was also difficult for ordinary players to earn a large amount of money.
If even the top professional players could only earn two to three hundred thousand yen a month, it would already be considered good if an average player could earn a thousand yen a month.
Even so, there were still a lot of people who fantasized about becoming rich overnight in the imaginary world.
Therefore, the time and passion that GGO players put into the game was incomparable to players of other games. The various disputes in GGO were also very cruel, and PK was even more encouraged than ALO.
Since Kikuoka Seijiro mentioned GGO, the problem was most likely related to GGO.
As expected …
"In GGO, there's a high-leveled player who won the Strongest Player Elimination Tournament held in October. That player was invited by MMO Trends and accepted an interview."
Kikuoka Seijiro said.
The so-called MMO Trends referred to an Internet TV program. Not only could it be watched on TV or the Internet in the real world, but it could also be watched in the game itself. Countless hotels and hotels in the VRMMO world often played this program, and it was very popular among the players.
Especially "This Week's Winner", which was a popular segment of "MMO Trend". Every week, it would invite high-level players from various games to be interviewed, and many players were proud to be able to participate in this program.
Rozen was invited several times before, but he rejected all of them.
The player that Kikuoka Seijiro mentioned was on this program.
"The other party was the winner of the Strongest Player Elimination Tournament held by GGO last month.
The winner of the tournament was suddenly disconnected when he was participating in the program, and the program was interrupted. "
Kikuoka Seijiro's tone became heavy.
"And last month, in an apartment in Nakano district of Yoto, the landlord found a man dead inside, wearing an AmuSphere on his head and in a connected state."
Hearing this, Rozen narrowed his eyes.
It was actually not that strange.
In the past year, it was not uncommon for players to be found dead at home wearing an AmuSphere while in full Stealth.
Some of them died suddenly because of excessive gaming time, some of them ate imaginary food in the game to gain a false sense of satiety, which led to them forgetting to eat, or not eating in the real world, which had a negative effect on their body, leading to malnutrition, and finally died at home.
Considering all this, this shouldn't be something worth paying special attention to.
But …
"This person is the player that I just mentioned." Kikuoka Seijiro said, "He suddenly had an accident in the program, and he died directly in real life. A player mentioned him in his blog, saying that when he died, something strange happened in GGO."
What was it?
"In the GGO world's capital, SBC Glorkian's hotel, there was a player who shouted 'accept your punishment' and 'go to hell' at the deceased who appeared on the show. Then, he fired a bullet at the screen. In the end, something really happened to the other party and he died immediately."
Seijiro Kikuoka said those words in a calm tone that made people feel a little creepy.
"In addition, a similar case happened ten days ago, somewhere in Saitama Prefecture, Saitama City, a body was found in a two-story apartment. The player was also wearing an AmuSphere and died on the spot. He was also a top GGO player. Before he died, he seemed to be attending a guild meeting in Glocken's central square. When he was talking on the podium, a player who broke into the meeting suddenly shot him, and then he suddenly disconnected."
Hearing this, Rozen roughly understood what Kikuoka Seijiro was going to say.
"The person who attacked these two players in GGO is the same person, right?"
Rozen was sure.
"That's right."
Kikuoka Seijiro said frankly.
"And in these two attacks, he reported his name, or rather, his nickname."
That name or nickname was …
"Death Gun, that's what he called himself."
