Play Online tonight or Steal

In the distance of this year's college entrance examination only 5 days of the night, the three candidates Chen Yu (a pseudonym) secretly opened the mobile phone, online to see the latest online game equipment.

A polished gun flitted through his pupil, illuminated by the screen. At this moment, he just wanted to say good-bye to the test and return to the virtual world of "a shot and a head."

"Do you want to play online tonight or steal it?" ”

Although less than 18 years old, Chen Yu is already an old online game player. Currently playing is "through the FireWire", a well-known gun games.

In this world, the rule he learns is "there are only two ways to succeed: you have to throw more money, or break the time." The former is called "renminbi player" by him. Every time you play an online game, the student's pocket money is not enough. "Through the FireWire" in the world, 1 yuan equals 100 cf points, Chen Yu Taobao is a direct charge of 10,000 CF points. Because "through the line of fire" in the pay guns and paid props are very expensive, a little good gun to use a week's cost of at least 10 yuan, recharge VIP also 30 yuan per month.

Chen Yu don't know is, his game "comrade" in, there is a desperate child.

2011, Hubei Yichang Police captured a special "small rogue Regiment."

This year, the burglary of more than 30 small gangs, 8 members of the age of 12-15 years old. Their "boss" was born in October 1998, when he was only 13 years old.

Usually these children to QQ as a contact, only two things meet: "This evening to play online internet cafes?" Or steal something? ”

One night, the group of children pry open a firm façade, stealing cash 25000 yuan and high-grade cigarettes. After they had succeeded, they openly slept in a hotel room. When they got up the next day, they found that the hotel was connected to the balcony of a household, and they pried through the window, stealing gold and silver jewellery and 16 cigarettes. Only two days, the amount of money involved reached more than 40,000 yuan.

Most of the stolen property was used by them to buy virtual game "equipment".

Surfing the internet and buying online games "outfit" like a bottomless pit, devour most of their stolen income. Among them, "through the FireWire," the cost is accounted for most.

Because they are too young, they cannot reach the standard of legal punishment. What is more frightening is that the children who are still ignorant of the right and wrong know that the law "cannot control me". The local police had captured a child and criticized the education to bring his father home. "He ran out that night, and again with two children to steal belongings in the car, was captured on the spot." ”

The kid learned how to shoot in the game.

As a high school student without income, Chen Yu also worry about it. Once, he saw a not know the "comrade" complained: "I am in the tangle, in the end to spend so much money through the firewire?" Is it money for the real world or a game? ”

Someone said: "I spent more than 10,000 yuan, now do not play." Are clouds. Chen Yu relieved, he is far from others spend much, he "depends on the strength."

He was mediocre in school, no one concerned, but into the world of online games, he is a "good at Killing" "Sharpshooter."

"If you save money with free props, you have to take the time to practice the technology," he said. To play a good game is important technology, not equipment. "Technology" in his mouth, is to face the muzzle of countless alleys, ready to appear in front of the enemy into a group of blood flowers. Bang！ Bang！ Bang！ This is much more exciting than real life. ”

Full of "bursts", "head" Chen Yu, and did not intend to join the army, he prefers this computer before the battle, because here "killing" does not pay the price. Compared to the mathematical formula in the classroom, he is more catchy "M60", "Blade", "Spike" and other game guns.

It is not uncommon for young people to go from virtual violence to actual violence.

In February this year, a wounding case occurred in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu province. Xiao Hu, a 18-year-old technical College student, loves to play a popular online game. He was in the game to get a rare "booty" equipment, and his teammates to fight, enemies.

Young arrogant small Hu told each other their own Internet café address, did not expect the other side with a knife to come, small Hu Palm was cut, the spot 4 fingers tendon rupture, bloody. And cut the small Zhang, Xiao Wang also only 21 years old, 19 years old, both were criminal detention.

"After all, online games are virtual"

Every time the exam failed, Chen Yu to play the game. Every time he ran into the Internet café, he can find a lot of the same age wearing school uniforms, also wearing headphones, face by the screen is white or light green. When the hand is on the keyboard, the gun appears on the screen, "No amount of trouble will soon be forgotten."

Chen Yu did not disclose his college entrance examination results. It seemed to him that leaving the school was far easier than a farewell game.

Online games industry Practitioners Changwa (alias) told China Youth Daily Reporter: "The current network gaming industry in China is a new cultural industry, it is not a scourge itself, but need to consider the age-appropriate grading." After all, the minors ' worldview and values are not yet stereotyped, and some things do not allow them to contact prematurely. ”

He admits that in the online games world will contact many minors, brings them the influence to have the good and the bad. "What are the conceptual implications of online gaming?" is to tell this child, this society, the jungle, you can not be too weak, or you can not spell others. Second, network games with team concept will teach them that only unity can win. ”

He argues that a child's negative impact on online gaming is inseparable from his family background and living environment.

In February this year, a 6-year-old boy from his own five-storey windowsill fell from the accident, fortunately unharmed. Family admitted that the boy has been playing a "parachute airborne" mobile phone games, is not the first time, may be imitated game action and jumped.

Changwa that, in addition to the online gaming industry itself, society, families, schools should also shoulder the responsibility of preventing minors from indulging in online games. "Like where he can play after school?" he said. What else can he do besides writing his homework? After all, the network game is virtual, no one will inexplicably degenerate to the reality of virtual no points. ”
