Infinity through different life

Chapter 365 Brass Key Clue
During this month, Xu Jing got a lot of information that ordinary people don't know through operating the chat room.

Among them are several unknown websites. Most of the items sold on these websites are illegal things that cannot be exposed.

He registered an account on one of the websites called "Elite Profile", and then used a small sum of money to buy the system view right and password of the US federal citizen registration profile.

In reality, even if they work for the government, many people are forced by life or greedy to go on the path of breaking the law and committing crimes, and the one he bought was leaked by a certain government official.

With this, Xu Jing easily boarded the citizen registration file management center, and then created a new citizen file on it, and entered the fingerprint and retinal shape information of a dead person that had been prepared long ago.

In this way, he has a legal identity in the real world—Xu Jing, Chinese, 20 years old, bachelor of social science, clean credit rating, and of course, a made-up social security number.

After finishing, he entered the same information on the fingerprint and retina items of his character's personal panel, and bound the character with the fake identity.

Oasis Company has expressly stipulated that there are no special circumstances, and the company's employees have no authority to inquire about any player's information.

Therefore, Xu Jing no longer has to worry about his NPC identity being exposed, he is now a legal Oasis player, and there is no problem to be found.

Moreover, he is still an NPC in essence, and does not need fingerprints and retinal information at all. The identity of this player is just a layer of camouflage, like a demon with a painted skin.

He never thought of inheriting Halliday's inheritance at all. Even if he finds the easter egg at that time, he doesn't have to worry about the reality. The world is gone.

"Buy a new name again, and you won't have any problems changing your face."

Xu Jing then familiarly boarded the website that sells character names, turned to the last few pages, spent a thousand oasis points, and bought a not-so-remarkable name—Andrew.

This name is the same as that of the robot in "Machine Butler". If he hadn't made up countless movies some time ago, he wouldn't have thought of it. Maybe it's because the name is not as famous as Ultron, so the price is not expensive.

Walking on the streets of a strange planet, he naturally changed his corresponding appearance. There are people coming and going on the streets, and there are all kinds of weird characters. It is so ordinary that he changes his appearance when he is in such a good mood.

Xu Jing came to a commercial planet called Tianping, which is still a PVE area. Unlike Ludes, there is a relatively high-end equipment commercial street here. His purpose of coming here is to buy a suit of equipment and then find a place to upgrade it. , after the level strength is enough, go to find the first key.

As for where the first key of the easter egg is, he already has a clue. This clue is exactly the inspiration he got when talking about Halliday while playing games with Wade.

Although Xu Jing hasn't been to the Halliday archives yet, he has read a lot of biographies, and the hunters know all about his life experience, and there are discussions everywhere on the forum.

It is recorded in almost all biographies or discussions that Halliday is a person who knows nothing about social interaction. He is autistic and introverted. Although he has a high IQ, his studies are a mess. All his attention is placed on comics, fantasy On novels, movies and games, especially games.

When Halliday was in junior high school, he was very obsessed with "Dungeons and Dragons" and often studied the player's manual, but he had no like-minded friends at that time, so he could only study by himself.

However, his classmate Ogden Morrow noticed the books he was reading, and invited him to join the weekly running party. It was at Morrow's house that Halliday met a group of homeboys like him and had The first circle of friends in life.

Morrow became Halliday's best friend, and later became a business partner and collaborator. The two had complementary personalities and started a social game company. Halliday was only responsible for developing games, while Morrow took care of everything. Business and PR matters.

Starting in the 90s, over the next decade, they released a series of best-selling action and adventure games that changed the entire game industry. By the end of the [-]th century, Halliday had become recognized as the greatest of his generation. game designer.

Then the social game company was silent for more than ten years, and suddenly released Oasis, which changed the entire industry and the entire world.

Although no one has found the clue of the brass key in five years, everything about Halliday is still the hottest topic in the oasis. After further research, I even wrote down all the information I could find, and analyzed it carefully.

As for the key to finding the first key, the most important hint comes from the video released after Halliday’s death. In the video, Arnock, the character controlled by him, gave a hint: “The key is invisible, and it is hidden in the center of the maze. in my dark room, and the maze was inside my head."

Undoubtedly, the most important clue in this sentence is the "labyrinth", and the brain represents the Halliday Archives, which means that information about the Labyrinth is hidden in the archives.

But anyone who has ideas about easter eggs can basically think of this, so countless people flocked in a long time ago, looking for clues to the maze in the archives.

However, there is no content about the maze in Halliday's archives. Among the movie-like clips played out of his memory, there are only scenes of his life memories that he is willing to show, from childhood to adulthood, from youth to death.

Wade has been to the Halliday archives. When he was teaching Xu Jing to play games, he talked about Halliday's life, and said that after Morrow invited Halliday to participate in the running group (tabletop role-playing game) party, the whole They all played the game in middle school, and it's a big part of Halliday's life in the archives.

They play "Dungeons and Dragons" the most, although they also play other games, but relatively few.

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart. Xu Jing was inspired by this sentence.

When he was learning to play games, he also studied the history of game development. The emergence of tabletop role-playing games pioneered role-playing games and also promoted the development of this type of game.

In this type of game, the maze is represented as a dangerous area in the adventure stage, which contains all kinds of wonders, puzzles or treasures, such as caves, artificial buildings, monster lairs, dense forests or mountain roads.

There are villains or fierce creatures wandering in the maze, and there may be traps, unknown facilities, ruins, etc.

The desktop role-playing game "Dungeon and Dragon" is the most typical one. Large mazes with tens of floors underground and hundreds of meters under the city are very common.

From this, Xu Jing was sure that the clue to the brass key must be in this kind of game, this kind of game that existed in the oasis, and "Dungeon and Dragon" was the most suspicious.
