Chapter 1 Maco's Online Debut

Three days later, Li Ang sat at his computer desk, solemnly browsing the web, the lenses of his glasses reflecting mottled, brilliant light.

"Maco's first online site is open~"

A coquettish female voice called out sweetly, the webpage flashing with various scantily clad young ladies.

Li Ang wasn't browsing some kind of adult website. To be precise, this was a deep web forum established by some Killing Field game players, disguised as an adult website for convenient communication.

This forum was located in the deep web. Standard search engines couldn't find relevant information at all. You had to directly enter the website address and go through several jumps to reach it.

Moreover, the forum website would automatically add a Tor browser package for visitors, helping users prevent traffic filtering and automatic crawling software from sniffing and analyzing, achieving anonymous external connections and anonymous hidden services.

In other words, even Killing Field game players who didn't understand IT technology at all could safely visit the forum at home, without being monitored or supervised.

On the night he completed the Lonely Mountain Cold Temple mission, Xing Hechou transferred 900 game coins to Li Ang through player friend relations, and sincerely invited him to join the Special Affairs Bureau.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ang婉拒ed the offer, but promised to maintain a good relationship with the Special Affairs Bureau, maintaining information exchange. Xing Hechou then disclosed some information about the Killing Field game to him free of charge.

The information included the address of this player forum.

Maintaining such a deep web forum required considerable manpower, material resources, and financial resources. Li Ang also speculated that the establishment of the player forum was likely promoted by the Special Affairs Bureau.

Maybe there were staff members from the Special Affairs Bureau or foreign intelligence agencies' internet monitoring departments lurking on the forum, specifically collecting intelligence disclosed by the players.

The forum had a lot of sections, including strategy guides, black market exchanges, and even internet gossip.

Analysis of currently known spirit types and their special abilities.

New ideas for attribute point allocation for players below Lv5.

Buying fighting skills at a high price, quality and level not limited! Payment in Bitcoin or game coins! Higher than the official recovery price!!

Selling high-level werewolf teeth! They all grew out of my body! Carrying rabies virus, mind if you don't shoot! Limited quantity, first come first served, support Bitcoin, game coins, cash payment!

My sister-in-law seems to have become a novice player. What should I do as an Lv4?

Various posts emerged one after another, with a very high refresh rate, and there were even more lurkers who only read posts and didn't actively post.

There are quite a lot of players...

Li Ang glanced at it and closed the webpage.

Player transactions on the forum are generally settled in game coins or Bitcoin. Game coins can be directly exchanged for equipment and items in the store, while Bitcoin, which has concealment attributes... is naturally exchanged for cash in reality.

The Special Affairs Bureau's official website (disguised as a small, rustic fertilizer company website) offered a price of 1 game coin = 1 million cash.

And the black market on the forum offered a price for game coins that was 10% to 20% higher than the official price.

This was normal. The Killing Field game had been open for seven months, and consortiums and foreign intelligence agencies with more information and resource channels than the average person must have entered the arena to plan.

Money meant nothing to them. Instead, game coins, an important resource in the Killing Field game, could bring them closer to possessing extraordinary power, and make it more likely that they would continue to occupy the upper class in the coming era.

Li Ang believed that if they weren't afraid of the currency market crashing, those consortiums with only money left might offer 3 million or even 5 million to buy a single game coin...

Putting aside other things, a protective jade pendant that could help ordinary people resist a fatal attack would be no problem to sell for millions, right?

A small healing potion that rarely appeared in the game store and could cure most diseases, including cancer, would be no problem to sell for hundreds of millions of dollars, right?

Even the Ripple Breathing Technique in Li Ang's skill bar, which could delay aging, could be sold for at least tens of billions of dollars at a Sotheby's auction...

In the face of death, everyone is equal. There is no reason why one should not perish after enjoying life to the fullest.

For top dignitaries and the wealthy, they could mobilize resources that ordinary people could hardly imagine, but in the face of the approaching Grim Reaper, dignitaries and beggars had no resistance.

In order to live a long and peaceful life, in order to enjoy a luxurious life forever, in order to never get off the ride, the financial giants were willing to pay everything.

Money, conscience, and even humanity...

"Alas, when I think about it carefully, I seem to have missed hundreds of small goals."

Li Ang, thinking about how much the Ripple Breathing Technique could sell for, sighed, "But in the real world where paranormal phenomena run rampant, the Ripple Breathing Technique, which can cause real damage to spirits, will always be priceless."

After comforting himself for a while, Li Ang walked out of the bedroom and saw Chai Cuicao, wearing a revealing shirt, lying across the sofa, legs crossed, frantically scrolling through Douyin with Li Ang's smartphone, constantly giggling,

"Du du, du du"

"So way so way so way"

"Wudang Wang Ye, paying respects to the Old Celestial Master"

"sexylady~"

Li Ang's eyes twitched.

When the mission ended three days ago, Li Ang was worried that Chai Cuicao wouldn't be able to adapt to modern society, so he took out the 《Detailed Revised Explanation of All Aspects of Modern Society After a Beautiful Girl from Another World Descends from the Sky》 that he wrote in junior high school from the storage box.

At that time, Li Ang was so bored that he entered the chuunibyou stage. In order to be able to quickly help a beautiful girl from another world adapt to modern Earth if he ever encountered one, he specifically used a thesis format to explain various problems in modern social life in detail.

Unexpectedly, Chai Cuicao adapted to modern society far too quickly.

"Can't you learn something good?"

Li Ang said with a headache, "You're always playing with your phone every day, either scrolling through Douyin and Weibo, or playing King of Glory and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Where's the temperament of a daughter from a wealthy family?"

"Oh."

Chai Cuicao obediently closed the Douyin page and opened an online radio broadcast software to listen.

"...That Zhao Yun, with his white horse and silver qiang, fought bravely against the generals, mighty and courageous, charging in and out seven times at Changban Slope, killing the enemy and causing them to abandon their armor and flee in panic."

In the online radio software, a clear female voice said softly.

"Listening to Romance of the Three Kingdoms?" Li Ang nodded, "That's okay."

The broadcast continued: "...But that Changban Slope wasn't easy to deal with either. She was the top courtesan of Yihong Courtyard. After calming her mind, she immediately used her sitting meditation ability, causing Zhao Yun to retreat step by step."

??? What the hell are you listening to?

Li Ang's face darkened. Ignoring Chai Cuicao's desperate attempts to keep the phone, he snatched the phone, "I'm going out for a while. You take good care of the house."
