Hong Kong film: Forever, a killer with amazing skills

"That's what the deputy said."

If the Grim Reaper wants to dump the body in that bay, he must first go out to sea.

Going to sea requires a boat.

If there are boats, a dock is naturally needed for them to moor.

Large docks or ports, with their excellent security environment, including surveillance and security patrols, are clearly unsuitable as mooring points for ships used to dump corpses.

As a result, small docks with extremely poor security and little surveillance became the best choice for the Dark Reaper.

If they were the Grim Reapers of the Night, they would obviously choose to anchor their ship in such a place.

"You said before that you only obtained this data from testing some of the stones?"

Charles did not immediately arrange for people to stake out the three small docks, but instead turned to ask his deputy.

"Yes, only a small portion of the stones can be analyzed for these data. The other stones were probably randomly picked up by the Dark Reaper from different places. Many of them do not have any marine material residue on their surface and are more like stones picked up from inland areas."

"That's what the deputy replied."

"Then how can you be sure that the Dark Reaper will still be in these places?"

Charles asked, frowning.

"Sir, according to our autopsies of those bodies, all the stones found to contain this type of marine material were found on bodies that died earlier."

"Therefore, we judge that the early Night Reapers were not experienced enough in disposing of bodies and were not well prepared, which is why they chose to temporarily pick up some stones and put them in those plastic bags."

"The Dark Reaper in the later stages should have prepared stones in advance for weighting."

"But no matter what, if he wanted to dump the body at sea, he would have to sail there, and if he wanted to upload these things, he certainly wouldn't choose those regular docks."

"Therefore, we deduce that the Dark Night Reaper did not change the dock where the ship was moored; it simply stopped collecting stones nearby temporarily."

The deputy informed Charles of their assessment, then looked at him and waited for Charles to make a decision.

Charles frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement with his deputy's deduction.

"Just to be on the safe side, besides these three small docks, send people to monitor all the other docks of this type in the vicinity," Charles said. "Also, install surveillance cameras on those docks, and make sure they're discreet!"

"Understood, sir!"

The deputy nodded, then hurriedly went to carry out his duties.

Here, Charles held a tablet in his hand, swiping his fingers across the screen as he looked at the map on it.

"I hope I haven't made a mistake."

he thought.

...

In the forensic department office;

Ye Tianming sat in front of his computer. The screen in front of him was not the Death Comes forum he had seen before, but the official website of the online game "Jianghu" developed by his company, Tianqi Games.

It has been a while since the last closed beta test ended.

The next one will be the public beta.

The date has been set for April 15th.

It's almost the end of March now.

There are only a little over half a month left until the public beta launch.

On the official website's forum, many gaming guilds are already recruiting, preparing to enter this new game.

After several closed beta tests and two engine changes, the game "Jianghu" is now about to be released for public beta and is completely different from the game during its first closed beta test.

The most obvious improvement is the huge enhancement in image quality.

After all, the game engine has been upgraded.

In addition, Ye Tianming spared no effort in investing funds.

Putting everything else aside, at least in terms of image quality, it is absolutely world-class.

of course!

Consequently, if you want to enable the highest graphics settings, the requirements for computer hardware become relatively high.

With current computer hardware, you'd need to spend at least 20,000 to 30,000 yuan to build a PC to run this game at its highest graphics settings.

This price is outrageous, especially considering that the minimum wage in Hong Kong is only a little over two thousand dollars!

Not to mention other places.

after all;

Even in Hong Kong, the world's second-largest financial center, the minimum wage is only a little over two thousand dollars.

You can imagine how low the wages are in other places.

However, this game isn't only playable on the highest settings.

If you can't handle the highest settings, you can use the high, medium, or even low settings!

For high-end configurations, a decent computer can handle it.

It would cost around ten thousand yuan.

For mid-range configurations, any computer costing four or five thousand yuan will suffice.

There will be absolutely no frame drops.

The low-end version goes without saying.

Even on computers that are almost obsolete, it can run.

The picture quality is a bit poor.

It's a low-end model after all!

These days, many people don't have a computer at home, and if they want to play games, they prefer to go to internet cafes.

Internet cafes aren't expensive these days, and "Jianghu" is a free-to-play game.

As long as you can afford the internet fee at the internet cafe, you can play.

It can be said that the threshold is not high.

The computers in internet cafes, especially the better ones, can easily handle high-end configurations.

Even the low-end internet cafes.

It's more than enough to play a Chinese dub.

therefore;

The number of players who have pre-registered on the official website has now exceeded 60 million.

of course!

This is the number of players worldwide.

However, while it's described as global, it's actually mostly concentrated in the Asian region.

After all, there aren't many people in Western countries like Europe and America who really like this kind of martial arts online game with a strong oriental style.

Even if there are, most of them are immigrants from Asia.

However, with over 60 million pre-registrations, many of them must have registered multiple accounts.

In other words;

The actual number of players who will actually launch and play this game will certainly not be as many as 60 million.

But even if it's only seven or eight million.

This is also a huge success for Apocalypse Games!

Although Ye Tianming didn't intend to make money by developing games, he couldn't possibly make a game that didn't make any money but only gained reputation. If he did, countless people would probably laugh at him behind his back, calling him a fool who had too much money.

so;

There are still ways to make money in the game "Jianghu", and quite a few at that.

The game is free to play and does not require prepaid cards.

However, the game has a built-in in-game store.

You can buy various functional items in the shop, such as [Hero Tokens] and [Fashion Gift Boxes]. Gold earned through direct top-ups in the game can be exchanged for silver at the [Jianghu Trading Post].

The official buyback program offers a 1:10 ratio, but the daily quantity is limited.

If you want to collect more silver, you can buy it from other players through the [Jianghu Trading Post].

Silver is the daily currency produced in the game.

This also gives ordinary players the possibility of farming gold.

If you work hard enough, it's perfectly possible to carry 100 yuan worth of bricks a day.

Players with money can directly recharge to buy silver with gold.

There are only two uses for gold: one is to buy functional items, costumes, and mounts in the mall, and the other is to exchange it for silver in the [Jianghu Trading House].

Silver is the universal currency in the game...

Very versatile.

Don't worry about it being worthless.

and;

Ye Tianming also gave up selling any numerical items in the store, mainly for the sake of the overall game environment and to extend the lifespan of the game itself.

of course!

If you're a whale (someone who spends a lot of money on in-game purchases), you'll definitely have a more comfortable experience than free-to-play players.

However, there is absolutely no situation where someone gets a full set of god-tier equipment and skills within a few days of entering the game.

Good equipment in the game needs to be crafted by players who specialize in crafting. To craft good equipment, players need blueprints and crafting tables, which can be obtained by defeating bosses in dungeons.

Dungeons are unlocked gradually as the game progresses, so top-tier equipment is unlikely to appear early in the game.
