First Player

Chapter 3 Chapter 3 · "—We are 'human beings'."

After the dungeon ended, Su Mingan was sent a white light package.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw a boundless square.

In the ears, the shouts of various people mixed together.

"Are you kidding! Where is this place!"

"It's strange... I was hacked to death just now, and suddenly a voice reminded me that my novice evaluation was D, and now I'm alive again..."

"Me too, I was still going to school, but the teacher suddenly came to chop me with a knife... I managed to chop him off, and then I heard a reminder that I passed the b-level evaluation, and then suddenly appeared here ..."

"Collective travel? Or some alien game?"

"Damn it, I just finished that goddamn plan yesterday. As soon as Sima Jia said he was satisfied, he reminded me that the game is about to start..."

"Mom, where are you, Mom..."

People stood on the square like him, and everything they could see was filled with darkness, crowding the huge square into a sea of ​​people.

...This is, the so-called World Game Opening Ceremony?

What he experienced just now was indeed a novice level tailored for everyone?

Su Mingan endured the noise in his ears, and suddenly, a big snow-white rabbit popped out of the sky above the sea of ​​people.

The rabbit was quite deformed, three meters tall, with huge limbs hanging beside its body, and a huge scale pattern on its chest.

The next moment, Su Mingan found that he couldn't move or speak. The others were the same as him, as if everyone had been cast with a restraining spell.

"—Woohoo—! Everyone is here—!" The strange rabbit, its reflection is like a giant, and the shadow covers everyone's horrified eyes.

"I'll count... well, one, two, three, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million... one billion! Well, the numbers are right!" It smiled, with its arms like cotton candy, and it was very happy. happy cry:

"—Welcome everyone, come to our world game!"

Fireworks flew down all over the sky, and the ribbons sprinkled the people who couldn't move.

All the eyes, mostly with fear, doubt, puzzlement, fear...

They were still living normally before, studying, going to work, working... Then they were pulled into the novice dungeon by a sudden prompt, experienced an unimaginable plot process, and were forcibly transported here.

Faced with such a situation that is far beyond the Three Views, everyone is in fear of the unknown.

Su Ming settled down.

It seems that this rabbit is the organizer who started this game...? Or, the same existence as the host?

He has no intention of being afraid. As a horror game up master, this kind of thing that far exceeds his daily life has opened a new window for him.

The novice copy of Shen Xue and Liu Anna simulated in the previous game is very interesting. Judging from the system prompts, there will be various types of game worlds in the future.

"Hi everyone! Before introducing all of this, let me introduce myself-you can call me Boss Rabbit! I am honored to be the general sponsor of this game-in your words, it is... GM (game Admin/System)!"

Rabbit opened his arms and smiled all over his face:

"It is now 3:00 pm on September 30, 2023 AD. Three hours ago, the personal novice copy of the world game officially started!"

"Participating members are Zhai Xing's billion human species! Congratulations to you who have been selected, you have the opportunity to change your own destiny! Become a participant in the game and become a traveler who travels through different worlds!"

At the same time, a light curtain lit up on the square.

——That’s the view on Zhai Xing. There is a time indicator in the lower right corner, which is exactly three hours ago.

The originally busy city, pedestrians walking along the roadside, farmers working in the farmland...their smooth movements stopped for a moment when the pointer pointed to twelve o'clock.

In it, Su Mingan even saw himself leaving the coffee shop.

The moment he stepped out of the coffee shop, his figure in clothes stopped at the door in an instant.

"The time on Zhai Xing is permanently stuck at this moment!"

The rabbit's voice continued, but the tone gradually became impassioned——

"One billion "chosen" human beings—"

...

[Welcome, you have the opportunity to control your own destiny, and officially enter the world game together! 】

...

"The single-player dungeon just now, I think, every player has already experienced it-for different players, the great game organizer has given you a unique trial customized for you alone!" It said happily.

Su Ming'an's eyes flashed across - sure enough, everyone's experience is different. At the same moment just now, one billion players were all thrown into different copies.

What he was facing was just a fake dungeon, in which he was the only player. After clearing the level, that dungeon ended.

Shen Xue and that Liu Anna... are not real people, but the system pretends to be the image of a familiar person in order to test itself... He said why Shen Xue suddenly attacked him, it turned out to be fake, it was Game script.

And other people's novice dungeons may be suddenly poisoned by their boss, stabbed in the back by a relative, suddenly faced with a car accident...such an attack that is hard to guard against.

Regardless of whether they passed the novice dungeon or not, they would eventually appear here.

In the square, people of different skin colors opened their eyes, full of confusion and shock.

"Next—start distributing the rules of the game!" Rabbit cried: "There are six rules in total!"

Then, in front of everyone, a blue panel appeared with rules listed on it.

...

[(Rule 01) In order to balance the game, the elderly players have returned to the state of their prime. Disabled players are also compensated accordingly. 】

[(Rule 02) Game participants: one billion selected Zhai Xing players. 】

[(Rule 03) Billion player mission: In the future, collectively enter each game world. Players complete tasks in the world and can obtain points that can be exchanged for various magical items. 】

...

These rules are similar to what Su Mingan guessed, and there will be different worlds in the future, the end of the world, fairy tales, science fiction, fantasy... These people have become travelers and adventurers who travel through different worlds. Complete the corresponding tasks.

The rules continue:

[(Rule 04) A player who dies in the game does not mean a complete death! Dead players will be cleared of all points and strength, as a spectator, watching others continue their adventures. After a certain viewing time, the dead player can restart the adventure!]

[(Rule 05) During the intermission period after the end of each copy, players have the right to decide whether to continue the adventure, or become a spectator. 】

[(Rule 06) For players who are taking risks, if they start the live broadcast, there will be additional bonuses! 】

...

These three rules surprised Su Mingan.

If high-dimensional creatures are only to drive humans to explore other worlds, there is no need to enable such rules. It seems that there are combat players in the game, as well as casual players. There are forwards and logistics.

"The world game lasts for one year!" The rabbit stretched out his white hand:

"At that time, the players will be ranked according to their points to determine what players can bring back to Zhai Xing. During the game, Zhai Xing's time will always stay at the beginning of the novice level until the end of the world game!

At the same time, if the total points of all players are too low, then - all will be wiped out! Among them, the higher the player's personal points, the greater the weight!

——As for the final outcome of the players..."

Its blood-red eyes were bent into crescents, and the lines were extremely distorted:

"...Let's take care of each other?"

The next moment, everyone found that they had recovered their language function:

"—Who the hell are you guys!"

"Oh God, let me go! What a joke!"

"Becoming a tool for other people's pleasure...it's a shame..."

Those who cry and beg for mercy, those who are afraid of the unknown, don't know what to do.

But there are also those who are eager to try and want to break the usual rules:

"I don't want to go to school for a long time. The legendary main god's space...is just what I want!"

"The strong survive, the weak are eliminated..."

"Sister, I'm afraid..." The plainly dressed little boy tugged at the skirt of the woman beside him.

Still wearing a military uniform, the man with a resolute face raised his calm eyes from the chaotic crowd.

There is a noose rope around the neck, like a girl wearing a necklace, holding her own necklace tightly.

"—Next, I will announce the specific situation of the novice level for all players!" The rabbit didn't care about the noise of the people below.

...

[The first novice level, relying entirely on individual physical fitness to fight instinctively! 1114279878 participants! 】

[Among them, there are 16,527 A-level evaluations, 1,270 S-level evaluations, and ss-level evaluations——1 person! 】

...

The rabbit's voice was particularly passionate, and it even screamed when the numbers were reported.

Su Mingan's heart skipped a beat.

The moment he heard this number, his thoughts raced.

He understands that the novice level is the most difficult level tailored for each person, and it will make people die hard to guard against. For example, the customs clearance conditions for soldiers may be to violate the orders of the chief, and the customs clearance conditions for gangsters may be to show kindness, etc...

In the case of s, if someone has a brain twitch and makes a completely different decision than usual, it can be done. But ss requires that there is no deviation in the plot line, and there is no hesitation from the beginning to the end.

But if everyone can save and read files, his performance should not be ss. There are many people who are more vigilant and tougher than him, and he is not the one with the best grades.

Unless, this death file reading skill... is unique to him. ss may be an evaluation that can only be achieved by a person with a bug-level ability like a death rollback.

——And, from this, it can be guessed that even the organizer in front of him doesn't know the existence of this skill.

He still remembers hearing the game give him a d rating when he died for the first time. If the organizers know that he has a death rollback, it is impossible for him to directly evaluate the settlement as soon as he dies. It is very likely that this skill is only known to him, and the source is unknown.

Assuming that this skill is unique to him, then, in the face of the pessimistic situation where human beings are ruled by the organizer... Can he, who has this skill of jumping out of the chessboard, have a chance,

——Become the "game breaker" who overturned the chessboard?

Even the organizer and all the audience will revert with his death,

——He may be the only one who stands outside the long river of time.

He quickly ended this series of thoughts.

"—Let us invite you, the first person to receive an SS-level evaluation! Give us a speech, everyone applauds welcome!!!" Rabbit clapped his hands "papapapa" self-consciously.

"Shua."

A ray of light shone on Su Mingan, separating him from everyone.

The next moment, he felt himself being pulled up by an invisible force, and his figure rose higher and higher, as if being pulled away by that light——

The main god space did not force him to the Jedi, a pure white mask appeared on his face, and his figure became extremely blurred, so he would not expose himself in the subsequent missions.

"Oh, the number one person on Zhai Xing is really not simple at present! —— Not an easy number one person! Let me give you an acceptance speech! Don't worry, we are translating in real time, and there is no language communication problem. !" The rabbit handed the blood-red microphone to his mouth.

And Su Mingan looked down.

The boundless square, the endless distance, the countless people, the darkness, and the countless shining eyes are all related to him at this moment.

The weight of a world gathers here.

He took the phone.

"The world game..." he said.

He noticed that his voice had been encrypted so that others could not hear his original voice.

He raised his head and thought for a moment.

Then, his voice slowly flowed from the sky to the entire square.

"Although, it is a bit ridiculous to tie the fate of people all over the world to a trial called 'game'.

"But right now, we can't end the game right now.

"The crowd is excited, venting their anger, clamoring to overthrow the organizers...these ideas are correct.

"But the future of human beings is currently blank, and we have no ability to confront the organizers. All we can do is to strengthen ourselves in a limited space."

His voice paused, and there was silence below.

Countless people raised their heads and looked at him with different expressions in their eyes.

After a short pause, he continued:

"——I often think, for a person, what is [lucky]?"

People raised their heads, and the audience was silent.

The eyes of a billion people—gazing together at that figure bathed in light.

"I don't know how others think, but in my opinion, to borrow a sentence from the great book "Human Stars Shine"-" Su Mingan said:

"[The greatest luck in a man's life is that he finds his mission in the middle of his life, that is, when he is young and strong.]"

"We're lucky that we're young and strong — at least physically, we're not aging anymore. Even kids aren't vulnerable anymore."

"We're lucky that we've also found our calling."

"We are the lucky and unlucky one billion chosen, and we have a responsibility to win our hometown back."

"——To the end, to make all human beings reach the standard, this is our current mission, and it is our responsibility to the other 6.5 billion unselected human beings."

"We are 'human beings.'"

"Whether we used to be soldiers, students, or other human beings."

"The task of the progress bar for all human beings has been imposed on each of us, and the little accumulation of each of us may converge into a river of self-redemption in one year."

"The giant ship named [Zhai Xing] will ride the wind and waves."

"All beings named [Humans] are fellow travelers on this ship."

"In this world where all human beings work together, a trickle can become a big river. This era of crisis and opportunity is closely related to each of us."

"We are 'human beings.'"

"We cannot create the unknown and see the light of the sky like the gods.

"We are weak, ignorant, short-lived, shallow-sighted.

"But we are 'human beings.'"

"...So, we can use the wisdom of the 'known' to calculate everything in the 'unknown', and have a torch that will never go out."

"The history of mankind has never lacked heroes. I hope that more players can stand up and understand the current situation."

"—and then, on every level, be a hero."

"Even because of this, our blood was spilled in every corner of the copy, and the road we walked was full of corpses and ashes of our own resurrection after death."

"—As long as we still have a chance to go on, let everyone witness the coming of the future."

When he said this, the audience was silent.

People raised their heads and listened quietly, with unprecedented brilliance in their eyes.

Su Mingan smiled slightly, and he said the last sentence.

...

“[And facing the ashes of the victim,]

【Noble people will shed hot tears. 】”

...

He doesn't feel nervous.

As a part-time anchor, public speaking comes easily to him.

This is a good time to strengthen his influence. As long as there are some very suggestive concepts that are enough to induce emotions, people can be infected by them.

Emphasizing the concept of "human beings" and the importance of "compatriots" can make most people recognize him.

Words with the most vague meanings sometimes have the most powerful influence, endowed with all the magical powers that make people complete themselves.

For example, struggle.

For example, ideal.

For example, "sacrifice".

They evoke in men's minds majestic and vague images, and in group speech they are endowed with a magical charm.

That's all he did.

He had a hunch.

...It seems that this appearance in front of all mankind is just the beginning.

As the [strongest player] at the beginning, with a death recovery, he might be able to go all the way to the end. This speech is a good opportunity for him to reduce people's rejection of him.

He knew very well in his heart that he became the "number one" of human beings because of his only death recovery skill. But the sudden appearance of the golden finger will not be the reason why he should be above others, but it is his obligation to bear the heavy responsibility of the world.

He's just lucky, nothing to be proud of.

Mission makes people overcome obstacles.

He who cannot die may still face so many eyes.

"- Well said!"

"Papa papa" the rabbit clapped desperately, the voice was very loud, above the dead silence, it was extra funny and crisp:

"As expected of being the number one among a billion people, that's how it should be! Enjoy life, enjoy—the world game!"

Su Mingan was let go, and the people around him cast surprised glances.

The psychology of exclusion will always exist among human beings.

But if you go high enough...

"Today's welcome meeting—that's it! Woohoo—! Now everyone is about to shuttle together and enter our first end of the world collectively!"

The snow-white rabbit clapped its hands, and the blood-red light scattered down the sky, enveloping endless people in an instant——

【——Bless you all. 】

[Game-happy! 】

...

A burst of white light flashed.

Su Mingan found that he was in a closed room, he was the only one in the room, and there was a bed next to him, which should be his personal waiting area.

He is now the best player among the billion Zhai Xing players.

For an "ordinary" college student, it is really too much to praise him.

After the end of the one-year world game, the players will be ranked according to their positions. The higher the score, the greater the weight.

Then if he keeps maintaining such a height, he will be given more and more attention...

The eyes of more than a billion people.

The game of high-dimensional creatures is really real and ironic.

The world chat channel is already a pandemonium, and the chat channel at the bottom left of the field of vision is filled with curses and confused remarks:

[Shen Yan lv1: Are you kidding me, am I still in a dream? 】

[Wang Feifei lv1: The first game world is the end of the world? ! Are we going to fight zombies collectively? Or in the face of natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes? I don't want to die! 】

[Yanzi lv1: Mom, did mom see me? I'm Xiao Yan! Mom, have you been selected? 】

[Yu Ruohe lv1: Don't panic, everyone. I have posted on the forum what needs to be paid attention to in the last days of the world. I hope it can help my compatriots. 】

[Yang Changxu lv1: I am a soldier of the Dragon Kingdom. If I meet my compatriots in the game copy, I will give priority to ensuring the safety of my compatriots. Please don't be afraid, we will survive! 】

[Filar lv. 1: Dragon Kingdom people are so responsible? In this kind of thing, you should think about your own life, don't let yourself live...]

...

In the open world-class forum, ghosts and ghosts appeared frequently. Some boldly speculated on the eschatology, some called on their compatriots to stabilize their minds, and some claimed that they would rule the world game and become the number one.

Su Mingan checked his status, waiting for the end of the world to begin.

Finally, the second hand on the crystal ball went to zero bit by bit.

[The first world: the end of the world. A global survival game with the same stage. 】

...

[The First World: End of World Plot Tips:

She felt so painful... The scalpel stabbed her body, it hurt so much, it hurt so much.

...don't cut her open again...she wants to wear a dress, she wants to go home...

The people in the white coats said she was a monster, and that a person like her who could resist the zombie virus was a monster.

However, she felt that she looks similar to other people, with one pair of hands and one pair of feet... They are all human, why do human beings fight with each other?

If she was a powerful monster, she would be able to break through the glass of the operating room and get out, right?

She's not a monster, so she can't break out.

How ironic.

She actually kind of wished she was a monster.

——Is she a 'monster' herself, or is the person who thinks she is a 'monster' forcing her into a 'monster'? "

——Salvation is born on sacrifice, and before righteousness, people rejoice in the bright future.

As the little girl of original sin, she endows people with the most tolerant revenge. 】

...

[There are two customs clearance routes (peace route and force route) and three different world endings in this world:

TE · cannot save

NE·Good night my girl

HE Dad, am I your pride?]

...

[The world of the last days will be copied into 50,000 identical worlds, and about 20,000 players will be invested in each world to play the game! 】

【——The world begins! 】

A flash of white light flashed, and Su Mingan closed his eyes.

...
