Brainoid

"Point-boosting ads?" Qi Mi really had never heard of it.

Ji Fusheng had a clear expression on his face, as if the news should be quite secret. But he still explained to Qi Mi that "point-boosting advertising" is actually not a type of advertising, but a verb, which is an important method of black market transactions.

Brainoid Beijing District and St. Petersburg District are two old districts. Each of the old districts has an entertainment project where points can be exchanged for cash. In the Beijing district it is "Old City", in the St. Petersburg district it is "Red Snow (Красный_снег)". In these two places, the points earned by players for completing tasks can be exchanged for real RMB or rubles. Therefore, when the brain-like body was first opened, many people exchanged points for money. But people soon discovered that the exchange rate between points and money was too low, and most players no longer expected to make money through this. However, at this time, many players still insisted on earning points.

After reasoning by a boss on a Russian forum, this is actually a means of advertising on the black market. When merchants in the black market want to trade, they can privately hire someone to brush up their rankings for a short period of time. This sudden and significant rise in rankings in a short period of time can attract the attention of other players. A knowledgeable player will know that the merchant behind this person has "goods" and can complete the transaction through contact.

This is actually the same as the past advertising on WeChat for WeChat merchants to buy steps for WeChat sports, except that hiring someone to brush points is more hidden. And since many players in Old City and Hongxue were frantically collecting points from the beginning, collecting points itself would not attract the attention of the Brainoid Company administrators.

Qi Mi vaguely knew what the "Old City" was. It was actually a scene she had imagined when she was a child. At that time, she thought her mother was someone similar to a special soldier.

"Then how do you know that this kind of score-raising is really a black market advertisement?" Qi Mi asked.

"I'm actually not too sure." Ji Fusheng lowered his voice and said, "And you can't ask casual questions, otherwise it will be very dangerous, right?"

"Then what are you talking about here?" Qi Mi was a little dissatisfied. She was not very interested in vague news.

"But I thought of a way." Ji Fusheng said immediately, "I know that there is an old player on the old city's high score list who is definitely not a black market advertiser. Maybe this person will know something."

Qi Mi asked curiously: "How do you determine whether a person is advertising?"

Ji Fusheng pretended to smile mysteriously, but still explained honestly: "What black market merchants need to advertise is a significant change in the scoreboard, so they will not always hire the same person to advertise. Then there will always be a lot of points in the scoreboard. Those who are tall should just do it to gain points."

This reasoning makes some sense, but Qi Mi still asked: "But you also said that points can't be exchanged for much money, so why are ordinary players still collecting points?"

"Then who knows." Ji Fusheng muttered, "I originally wanted to test it out, but in the end he almost threw me off the roof."

"I'll go, it's quite dangerous." Qi Mi sighed.

"Actually, it's okay. It's just that I can't move in the brain-like body for a week." The floating student waved his hand and said pretending not to care.

In fact, he was scared to death. The experience in the brain-like body is exactly the same as reality. If he really fell from a high altitude, he would have a heart attack.

"Then what are you going to do next?" Qi Mi asked.

"What... what should I do?" Ji Fusheng didn't understand. "I want to support you in fighting for inheritance rights. What does this have to do with the black market?"

However, Qi Mi thought that if she could solve the hidden dangers of the black market of brainoids, her mother would be impressed. This is definitely a viable path.

She told Ji Fusheng this idea, but Ji Fusheng said: "The empty alley, this is too dangerous. Do you know what people sell on the black market of brainoids? I heard that personal information is sold in Russia. Yes. This is a threat to personal safety."

It does sound a bit dangerous. However, Qimi knows that high returns often come with high risks. Now she has reached a dilemma where she cannot advance or retreat. If she wants to do something, she has to do something big.

"Danger is nothing," Qi Mi said, "'If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs.' Only this kind of challenging task can reflect one's true talents."

Seeing her calm and determined look, Ji Fusheng nodded in admiration: "Okay, I support you."

Qi Min usually doesn't go to work on weekends - in fact, when she goes to work on weekdays, she works on the brain-like body, and rarely has to go to the laboratory. Because I played too high in the brain-like body yesterday, now I just lie down on the sofa and watch TV for a while, leisurely for a while.

However, Anton was a little worried. After thinking about it, he walked up to Qi Min and said, "Min, what do you think Mimi went out to do?"

"Isn't she going to play with her classmates?" Qi Min said boredly, "Why are you so strict?"

"Why don't you worry at all? Do you know which classmate Mimi is playing with?" Anton said, "Why haven't you heard her talk about it before?"

Qi Min thought about it and realized that her daughter did not often talk about school matters when she got home. But because the whole process of attending virtual elementary school was monitored, parents could see which classmates Mimi had a good relationship with, so Qi Min and Anton were not worried and would not ask her intentionally. But now there is no surveillance in the physical school, and Qi Min and Anton didn't ask Mimi about school affairs anymore, so now they are blind and don't know anything.

Qi Min felt that this might really be her negligence as a parent. However, there are only a few classmates in Mimi's class, and a parent group has been established since the beginning of the school year. All parents probably know what they are doing, and there are no unscrupulous people. Qi Min felt that there was no need to worry, and he could just ask his daughter when she came back.

Seeing that she didn't care, Anton had to remind her: "No, aren't you worried that your daughter is dating someone?"

Dating? Qi Min realized that Mimi was already twelve years old. Although this age was a bit early, it was not impossible for her to fall in love.

"Uh...just go on a date." Qi Min didn't quite understand, "It's normal for adolescent children to fall in love early."

"Holy shit, this is normal?!" Anton immediately became anxious, "This is called pedophilia, do you know? With someone under the age of fourteen...it's called rape, regardless of whether it's consensual or not. !”

Qi Min knew that he hated pedophilia the most in his life. The memory of his childhood had always been a psychological shadow, so he could not understand the normal idea of ​​underage falling in love.

She had no choice but to say: "Don't think too much. Mimi has just gone out by herself once. Do you think she is in love? Falling in love has to go through a process. Just ask her when she comes back later."

Anton thought about it and it made sense. His daughter had been very good since she was a child. As a parent, she was not very worried about her suffering from her classmates. But if anyone dares to seduce and fall in love with his daughter, Anton will definitely blow that bastard's head open - no matter if it is a man or a woman.
