Chapter 284 – Free Server
Tactics or character development methods that are popular in games are often called ‘meta’.
Likewise, there is a meta in which explorers search the ruins after the infection war.
Which places and how to search?
When will you infiltrate: dawn, day, or night?
What items will you focus on?
Where should I sell to get more money?
Among them, the topic that receives the most attention is which items are valuable.
The amount you can lift and move is limited, and the risk varies depending on what you are aiming for.
The first farming meta for explorers was ‘Aim for the cell phone!’
This is because of the vague thought, ‘It’s an expensive electronic device, so wouldn’t it be useful if I pick it up?’
From bureaucrats who have been using a pen all their lives to old people who know nothing except farming.
They needed to pick up something right away, but they couldn’t figure out anything other than food, water, and medical supplies, so everyone was collecting cell phones.
Searchers rummage through pants and jumpers worn by skeletal remains and take out cell phones. This is a common sight in the early days.
A truly enormous amount of cell phones were recovered, but when the trading market was released, the response was lukewarm.
I tried to use it as a means of contact and information search, but it didn’t work because the satellites and base stations were completely out.
The flash function allows you to use it like a lantern, but the power efficiency is low and batteries are not compatible.
In extreme situations, single-function, dedicated survival equipment such as walkie-talkies or flashlights are much more desirable.
However, the meta rotates according to patches in the game world. With the advent of the police, everything changed.
As satellites, base stations, and power supply and demand were all resolved, the online network was revived only in the vicinity of the police.
It is a bonus that cell phones, which were essentially portable blunt weapons, quickly emerged as a great trading item.
In terms of stocks, would you say that the product everyone was buying plummeted, but then skyrocketed again with the emergence of a new company?
In this case, there are two main types of people who touch large sums of money.
The first are those who survived, and the second are those who obtained information in advance.
Director Kim of the rest area was the latter.
“I knew he was a good businessman, but…”
Cell phones are not a rare item even in the police, let alone the wealthy Prime.
It’s not like before the war that everyone can charge anywhere and walk around looking at their cell phones, but it’s so widespread that it’s hard to believe it’s after the apocalypse.
It was Director Kim who made a great contribution in this area.
When he received information about city construction from Artemis, he collected his cell phone in preparation for the future.
Once the city was completed and online and power grids were provided, it was a bonus to sit on a cushion of money.
Strictly speaking, it’s illegal insider trading, but who cares? Neither Artemis, who transcends human ways, nor Chief Kim, who was a gangster from the beginning, even snorts.
Here, the thing that really peaked the value of the cell phone is the game!
In Police, many of the online mobile games that were serviced in Korea before the war have been revived.
As you know, they are all illegal free servers.
What’s the problem since companies with copyrights and courts that would recognize lawsuits have disappeared a long time ago?
Polis is a city where the highest level of security and living is guaranteed in Korea and even in the world.
People who have food, clothing, and shelter inevitably pursue entertainment, and people are enthusiastic about mobile online games that give them a taste of nostalgia and fun from the past.
[Did you know that 21% of those who come to Police for tourism purposes come for games?]
Kids said.
“You’re not here to eat or have fun, but just for the games?”
[Yes. Due to limitations in satellites and repeaters, it doesn’t work in other areas. This entire city is a kind of giant PC room.]
“No matter what, in this day and age, so many people come for the purpose of playing games.”
[For some people, it is life itself. For us, it is welcome because we receive information, supplies, tourism revenue, and influence from those who gather like that.]
This is Prime’s hotel veranda. I am playing a phone game with my arm on the window frame.
It is an MMORPG game based on a fantasy cartoon. It was ranked first in the Korean mobile market even before the war, and is currently ranked first in the world.
[The game you are currently playing has a particularly strong fan base. Users commonly call him Mr. L, and the response on the first day the service was resumed in Police was truly amazing!]
“I heard that vehicles gathered from all over the country?”
[Yes. I heard there was an uproar due to problems with entering the city and waiting times, so even the security forces were dispatched?]
It is said that robot guards were mobilized because they could not be controlled by human guards.
[I still remember Artemis’ astonished reaction.]
“… It is entirely possible for Mr. L, who has experienced withdrawal symptoms for over 3 years.”
On the phone screen, a knight with a sword eagerly attacks a green-skinned orc. However, there was something unusual.
“It looks like Artemis has her hands here and there.”
[Yes. You have a tendency to pursue perfection, right? I guess he doesn’t like things that are as poor as what he puts out.]
Surprisingly, the motion of swinging the sword was different at every moment.
Even if the movements are similar, such as a normal strike, stab, or diagonal cut, the detailed angles and postures are very different.
Artemis realized something that was realistic but technically impossible.
Things like filtering swear words and exposing nudity, which were blocked due to review issues, have all been released without restrictions.
It is a scene that would cause an uproar if the Game Management Committee saw it.
There was something more interesting than that.
“Why does everyone have such good manners?”
The users were surprisingly gentlemanly. No one spits profanity.
[If you get caught up in a dispute and get banned, it’s really over. You won’t be able to play online games until you die, so everyone has no choice but to be a gentleman.]
“Oh my.”
I turned off the game I was playing and looked for other games.
Many, but not all, of the online mobile games that were popular before the war are available.
“Who runs these games?”
In the current situation, it would not be possible to have tens or hundreds of operators per game.
[Artemis did the initial infrastructure construction, but I am responsible for the subsequent operation.]
“Oh my, are you English? “I didn’t know your precious body.”
[Ahem!]
A three-headed hologram of Kids appeared with the word GM written on its head.
Games aren’t the only things you can do with your cell phone.
Various product trading markets, job openings, weather systems, and prize hunting are widely introduced.
These are all online markets and search engines built by Artemis.
Of course, the reason Artemis provides this is not to improve people’s welfare.
It must be an intention to subordinate people’s interests in various fields such as trade, leisure, security, culture, entertainment, etc. To this city.
“Well, if we like each other, it’s okay, right?”
While I was looking around as if I was interested, I felt a presence in the hotel room.
“Launching? Are you just going to play games as soon as you wake up? Stop and come in.”
It is the voice of Artemis.
[Well, I’ll just go!]
The Kids, who are on edge due to their recent punishment, are even more afraid of Artemis.
[If you need any items or pets, just let me know! We will set it up with the best equipment!]
“Is it okay for Youngja to favor a specific user?”
[It’s a tradition of Korean online games!]
Kids disappeared after saying those words.
“No need. It’s really fun to roll around with a dagger and adjust your equipment from the beginning.”
I muttered softly as I looked at the empty space.
“Jinsu, are you listening?”
“Oh, I’m going in.”
I entered the hotel room while listening to Artemis’ urging.
* * *
Although it is spring, the morning temperature outside is quite chilly. In contrast, the moment I entered the room, a warm feeling hit me.
“Oh!”
The next thing I saw was a beautiful naked body. Artemis is sitting on the king-size bed with her back turned and putting on stockings.
Her long silver hair was gathered together and hung down in front of her chest, exposing her white and alluring behind.
Even the buttocks that are slightly dented and visible with only a few cracks removed are perfect.
A couple getting naked and grooming themselves… Isn’t this the best thing a man can see in the morning?
The erotic sound of stockings rubbing against skin is pleasing to the ears.
Her toes raised high toward the ceiling. The black wave of nylon started from there and immediately engulfed her thighs.
“You’re the type of person who puts on stockings first.”
“Is it strange?”
Artemis turned towards me.
Like the mermaids in all-ages movies, she covers her breasts with her hair, but because her breasts are so large, they don’t cover them properly.
A right leg as white as porcelain, with black stockings worn only on the left side. Even the panties in her hand.
It is a much more erotic sight than being completely naked.
“Are you flirting now? “Why don’t you sweat a little in the morning?”
“Well, what should I do?”
With a smile that seems to captivate people, she even wears stockings.
He approached me from behind and hugged her delicate body.
“Huung.”
As always, I place my nose on her shoulder, neck, and back and inhale the rich scent.
“It definitely smells like it comes from flesh, but something is different.”
Would it be like this if there was a perfume made from meat instead of flowers? It’s refreshing and fragrant, but it also feels pleasantly squishy.
No matter how many times I take it, I never get tired of it and keep craving it. I am addicted to Artemis’ body.
“It tickles.”
Artemis, laughing, never pushed me away.
Like a mole, he dug into her body with his nose. She also strokes my face affectionately.
“…”
“…”
When our faces finally met, we kissed our lips without even thinking about who went first.
