Chapter 1

Generally speaking, apart from a few oddballs, the vast majority of players deeply loathe cheating in multiplayer competitive games.

Terms like "immortals" and "gods" are just helpless nicknames. If you're really killed by a cheater in the game, you're definitely going to curse and swear.

However, the two "immortals" in Long Ge's ordinary matchmaking game were using cheats that were so unique and magical,

that the spectators weren't very angry. Instead, they felt a sense of curiosity, like watching immortals fight.

Two years ago, there was a "War of the Gods" in the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds game, organized by a cheat development team, with hundreds of cheat users and cheat representatives participating.

It was both to pursue the reputation of being the world's number one cheater and to market the game's cheats.

At that time, it attracted a large number of onlookers.

Because cheats are not legal and compliant, the "War of the Gods" organizers were quickly banned by the live streaming platform after opening a live broadcast room, and could only strategically transfer between platforms.

Perhaps because the technical strength between the cheat teams was almost the same, the immortals in the game recording did not use as many spells as imagined. At the beginning, 13 players were blown offline by a bombing cheat.

The remaining players picked up guns and started shooting at the sky, using aimbots and bullet tracking cheats, instantly killing dozens more players.

The remaining survivors tried to escape far away, sinking into the ocean, using underwater breathing cheats to avoid aimbots,

and even wanted to use blood-locking secrets (no cooldown on bandages and medkits, instantly restoring full health) to resist aimbot-tracked bullets.

But all efforts were in vain under the strongest immortal's immortal techniques.

Underwater players were taken away with one shot. The no-cooldown medkit cheat also ran out of all medicines due to the tracking bullets, and died in the poison circle—the strongest cheat was just a super-distance tracking bullet that ignored blood-locking.

That "War of the Gods" competition had more hype than actual entertainment value. There were no strange and bizarre immortal techniques in some GIFs or videos, which was inevitably disappointing.

Moreover, after the competition, a large number of cheat production and sales teams, including the event organizers, were taken down in the real world by a company that represented PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds before the second "War of the Gods."

More than 140 people, including cheat developers, general agents, and secondary, tertiary, and quaternary distributors, were all arrested and happily escorted away.

Historically known as [Twilight of the Gods].

Now it's only the third day since the new version of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds was launched. Long Ge is also a big streamer on Hu Yu, with countless nobles in his live broadcast room, and a large number of Bluehole and Tencent employees lurking.

The Longtou Baidagua (Dragon Head White Coat) and that immortal named fpu are jumping around so much that related posts have already built hundreds of floors on major forums and Tieba, with unmatched popularity, and even a tendency to hit the Weibo hot search.

The audience in the live broadcast room also knows that with the [Twilight of the Gods] precedent, Longtou Baidagua and fpu probably won't last long before they are subjected to dimensional reduction strikes by Bluehole.

Accounts will be banned, forcibly kicked out of the game, and even this round of competition will be shut down.

Even afterwards, they will be held accountable in the real world.

Many viewers have already typed out [Wuwuwu, the immortals have fallen] in the chat, ready to send it out at any time.

"This immortal flies really fast."

Ruozi Ge, who was responsible for driving, couldn't help but sigh, "I can't catch up even with the accelerator pedal floored."

"Nonsense, he's a Daluo Jinxian (a high-level immortal), how could you catch up?"

The rich man said with a smile, "Hey, hey, look, there are a few more cars in front. Are they your fans, Long Ge?"

"Long Ge, we are your fans!"

Several people sitting in the cars in front turned their cars around, drove alongside Long Ge's car, and turned on the public microphone, shouting, "We escaped to join you!"

Long Ge also turned on the free microphone, "Where did you come from? What's the situation with the other immortal?"

"We ran from Pecado."

One viewer shouted, "Lion City is too scary.

That area was originally where the poison circle was shrinking, and many people were hiding there.

As a result, a black-suited man named fpu suddenly flew out and began to assimilate others.

One became two, two became four, four became eight, and everyone in Lion City turned into black suits.

One of my teammates also died there.

Now he's not even shown in my friend list, nor in the team microphone in the game.

We were far away from Lion City, so we escaped and drove to find you."

"Damn, is this really 'The Matrix'?"

Long Ge took a cold breath, looked at the soaring popularity in the live broadcast room, and the massive barrage, and couldn't help but cough. "Ruozi, you drive and follow first.

I'll go ask someone."

The person he was referring to was naturally a Bluehole employee—as one of the top streamers in the platform's PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds category, he naturally had the contact information of the game company's senior management.

He usually obtained some inside information and had something to talk about with the viewers in the live broadcast room.

He took off his headphones, avoided the camera, opened his WeChat contacts, and just sent a "Are you there?"

The other party immediately called back via WeChat, and said after connecting, "Long Ge, we are investigating this fpu. The technical team can't find this person's game information."

"Can't find it? What do you mean? Can't you directly see the backend data?"

The other party replied helplessly, "The backend data of other games is normal, but the data of this game has crashed, and we can't see it at all, nor can we close the game or kick anyone out.

The technical team is now urgently repairing it. The new version has just been launched, and it would be too embarrassing if this gets on the hot search.

How about... you quit the game and stream something else first?"

"Ah..."

Long Ge lengthened his voice. He could understand the other party's difficulties, but the skyrocketing popularity of the live broadcast room made him really reluctant to give up.

Just as Long Ge was racking his brains, thinking about how to deal with it,

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The door was knocked heavily, scaring Long Ge so much that he almost didn't hold his phone steady.

"I said I'm streaming!"

He quickly reacted and shouted at the door in exasperation, "I'll talk about it later if there's anything."

The person knocking on the door was probably the new nanny he hired. She didn't know how to be gentle, which was annoying.

"Long Hao, open the door! We are Xu Hui District officers!"

A rough, thick voice sounded outside the door, calling out Long Ge's real name.

Hearing the word "officers," Long Ge was so frightened that cold sweat broke out all over his body, and a large number of comments floated across the live broadcast room.

[Holy crap! Officers are here! Did Long Ge commit a crime?!]

[Probably didn't pay for the mineral water he bought last year, right?]

[Long Ge, we'll see you in the next life (′╥w╥`)]

"Knock, knock, knock!"

The knocking on the door became louder. Long Ge gritted his teeth, walked to the door, and opened it.

Seven or eight burly men in officer uniforms with gloomy faces stood outside the door. One of them strode into the room and casually twisted the camera downwards, so that the scene in the room would not appear in the live broadcast room.

Then, he operated on the computer for a while, closed the live broadcast interface, causing the viewers in the live broadcast room to send out [???], [Long Ge is down?], [What's going on] in the chat.

After doing all this, the burly man straightened his body, looked at Long Ge, who was trembling like a sieve and didn't know what he had done, and said in a deep voice, "You go out with them. This computer has been requisitioned by us. Please cooperate with our work."

"Requisitioned?"

Long Ge stammered, "I, I have some important documents stored inside..."

Ahem, he was also a public figure, after all. If the "confidential documents" inside were exposed, how would he live?

"Temporary requisition. We'll return it to you later."

The burly man waved his hand impatiently. The officers on both sides immediately supported Long Ge's shoulders and half-lifted and half-pushed him out of the room, slamming the door shut.

This sudden scene scared the others in the same team.

Ruozi Ge knew that something was wrong, and quickly closed the live broadcast room. At the same time, he stopped the car in the game, not daring to breathe loudly.

The wealthy boss, who claimed to have connections everywhere locally, also obediently shut his mouth, so as not to cause trouble—he did have hundreds of millions of assets, but he would never dare to provoke official people.

The burly man, or rather, Xing Hechou, sat in Long Ge's gaming chair, put on the headphones, and said in a calm voice, "Xiao Ruo, you closed the live broadcast room, right?

Very good, we are members of the Mobile Task Force.

Your home address is in ** Street, Dongli District, Tianjin?

Our colleagues will come to your door later to requisition your computer and ask you to cooperate with our work.

As for now, please continue driving and follow that Longtou Baidagua (Dragon Head White Coat)."

"Oh, oh—"

Ruozi Ge was completely without the air and arrogance of the nickname [E-sports Black Hand] at this time, nodding repeatedly, stepping on the accelerator, and continuing to drive, "That... officer comrade, are we involved in some kind of abnormal event...?

Is it dangerous?"

"It's okay, you drive yours, listen to my instructions, nothing will happen."

While Xing Hechou was speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and called a colleague in the equipment and technology department of the Yin City Special Affairs Bureau, "Hello? Lao Chu, send some cheats to these accounts I marked.

Yes, blood lock, aimbot, wallhack, eating poison, fast medkits, invincibility, giant weapons, flying, underwater breathing, collecting supplies....

Give me a copy of all these cheats.

Li Risheng is our good comrade, and we can't let those villains from the Prometheus Laboratory Company assassinate him."
