MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Chapter 1662 1662: High-Tech Stimulants

"Suspicious? What do you mean?" Wang Yu asked, puzzled.

Clearly, while Wang Yu was intelligent, he had trained in martial arts since childhood and had a narrower range of knowledge compared to Fearless. Therefore, Wang Yu simply believed that Sanguine Thousand Miles and that assassin were both extraordinary talents. Hearing Fearless's comment, Wang Yu found it hard to understand.

Fearless asserted, "I suspect they are using cheats!"

"Cheats? No way..." At that moment, Spring Halo leaned over, stroking his chin and said, "The game 'Rebirth' has very strict controls against cheating programs. If it were really a cheat, how could the system not detect it?"

Spring Halo's point was valid; cheats have long been a cancer in eSports, and this kind of cheating method has ruined countless high-quality games.

When Soaring Dragon Game Studios developed 'Rebirth', they recognized this issue and incorporated anti-cheat programs at every game device port. If any illegal program connected to the port and altered data, the program on the game device would immediately send feedback to the game detection center, and if detected, it would result in a permanent ban.

It's important to note that 'Rebirth' accounts are identity-bound, meaning each player can only apply for one account. Unlike other online games where you can create alternate accounts after being banned, this essentially deprives players using cheats of their right to play the game, making the consequences of cheating extremely severe.

Even with such stringent measures, 'Rebirth' fundamentally eliminated cheating, and throughout the time the game has been online, no one has dared to challenge the system's detection capabilities.

After all, players who intend to cheat usually love the game. To take away their right to play is undoubtedly the harshest punishment for those who enjoy the game.

Thus, when Fearless mentioned the word "cheat", everyone found it hard to believe... If they were actually cheating, Sanguine Thousand Miles would likely not be standing in front of them so confidently.

"That depends on how you compare!" Fearless shook his head and said, "There's a certain probability of bugs in the program, and that probability is much greater than the chance of two incredibly skilled players appearing simultaneously."

"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Spring Halo laughed, "When we first met Old Bull, didn't we think he was cheating too? If everyone thought like you, Old Bull would be the first to be eliminated."

"That's different!" Fearless countered, "Old Bull's skills come from years of training; he has a foundation. But Sanguine Thousand Miles has no martial arts foundation at all; if they have such skills, what else could it be but cheating?"

"But the game has real-time monitoring..." Spring Halo retorted, "Even if their port didn't respond, they couldn't just swagger down the street without the server reacting."

"That's why I find it suspicious! These two must have gotten hold of a program that can bypass the game's anti-cheat detection", Fearless murmured again.

"Impossible!" At this moment, Boson interjected, "The game port programs are doubly encrypted. Not only would they be banned if someone cracked it, but even attempting to crack it would result in a system ban."

"Then that's strange!" Fearless said, "How did these two manage to do it?"

"Maybe they aren't using any program at all?" Seeing the three scientists in serious discussion, Wang Yu quietly suggested.

"????"

Upon hearing Wang Yu's words, the three suddenly paused, their gazes fixed on Wang Yu.

After a full three seconds of silence, they finally laughed and said, "This idea that Old Bull mentioned is quite intriguing, but it won't work. How can you cheat without a program?"

"No, you all misunderstood my point", Wang Yu explained. "What I mean is, maybe the ones using cheats are the cheats themselves."

"The cheats themselves? Like you?" Fearless scoffed, "But didn't you just say those two have no martial arts foundation?"

"Not necessarily", Wang Yu scratched the back of his head and said, "Isn't there something that directly enhances a person's physical capabilities?"

"Stimulants?" Just then, Crotch Lord blurted out.

"Yes! That's it!" Wang Yu nodded, "What if they took stimulants?"

"That possibility can't be ruled out."

Fearless frowned and said, "But stimulants only temporarily activate human potential; the effects couldn't be that pronounced."

People at Fearless's level were naturally not unfamiliar with stimulants.

Most long-time gamers are reclusive, and their physical capabilities tend to be weaker than average. Stimulants only promote nerve activity and stimulate human potential; no matter how strong the stimulant, it can't turn a recluse into a superhuman like Wang Yu. Otherwise, it wouldn't be called a stimulant; it would be akin to Popeye's spinach.

"That's roughly what I mean", Wang Yu said, "I'm not saying it has to be stimulants; what if it's some high-tech method?"

Wang Yu has always held a sense of awe towards high technology. Throughout history, nothing besides technology has been able to push martial arts—an art of killing—to this extent...

In Wang Yu's view, if researchers could create nuclear weapons capable of mass destruction, enhancing human physical abilities to the level of martial artists should be feasible as well.

"High-tech methods?"

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had thoughts.

Wang Yu was just casually mentioning it, but Fearless's expression changed slightly, and he exclaimed, "Could it be?"

"What?" Seeing Fearless's reaction, everyone looked on with curiosity and asked, "Do you know what it is?"

"It can't be..."

However, faced with everyone's confusion, Fearless didn't answer but muttered to himself, "Isn't that thing still in the experimental stage? Wouldn't using it recklessly risk lives?"

"What thing?"

Since Fearless wouldn't say, everyone grew even more curious.

"A chip similar to a stimulant, but a hundred times stronger", Fearless said solemnly. "Our country doesn't have this yet; I've only heard that Country A is developing it for military use... But it's said to still be in the testing phase. How did Sanguine Thousand Miles get it?"

"With money, what can't you buy!" Boson scoffed. "It's possible that this kid bought it on the black market; he probably got conned."

"Tsk tsk tsk..." After Boson's analysis, everyone couldn't help but sigh, "If that's the case, this kid is really unlucky..."

"Who cares if he's unlucky!" As everyone began to sympathize with Sanguine Thousand Miles, Ming Dong scowled, "I just want to kill him a few times to vent my anger."

"Don't worry!" Fearless waved his hand, "Even though this chip is just a semi-finished product, it's still not cheap. This kid spent such a huge cost to go against us; how could he just throw a piece of shit in front of us? He will definitely come back."
