First Player

No. 54 "They all like you."

【Lord God World】

It rained continuously, one after another, and the weather seemed dull and gloomy.

Almost everywhere there are people, there is a live broadcast screen. People raise their heads and watch the people fighting in the distance across a whole world.

And all this gloom reached its peak after Su Mingan obtained the sanity-killing skill, causing the black beast to kill himself madly.

The well-known forum commentator, Matthew from Greece, was responsible for the commentary in the live broadcast room.

But after the black beast died of self-mutilation, he suddenly broke down emotionally when he looked at the miserable death of the black beast with its flesh and blood curled up.

He faced the camera with tears streaming down his face:

"——Humanity has no future!"

"——If the body can be repaired by the organizer, there is no chance for the spirit! The organizer launches such a skill just to kill us from the root!"

"——They are full of malice towards human beings, and we have no chance to make a comeback! We cannot understand the power of high-dimensional existence, how to enhance strength through games... and how to work together to fight against the organizers... There is no chance! No! We have already Ruined!"

"——What will the world's games look like in the future? A paradise for madmen, fools, mentally ill people, butchers, and abnormal people! We can't go back! Thousands of years of human civilization have ended here. Isn't everyone reduced to this? If you become a slave to aliens, you will become the dust of history..."

His emotional breakdown was sudden. He was crying and laughing in front of the camera like a madman, and even the two Eagle Country guests next to him didn't react.

In the end, it was the guest who urgently cut off the live broadcast, and this ridiculous scene ended.

This live broadcast room is very popular, and many people are watching it in real time. Matthew's collapse is like a fuse, detonating people's already suppressed emotions, an emotion that has been buried for a long time since Baisha Paradise, like an infectious disease Just as spread.

People's emotions were already depressed, but they were diverted by the passionate peak competition. Now that the overall situation has been decided, their attention began to return.

They couldn't help but start to reflect——

——What should we do with the remaining mental patients in the sixth world?

——What should we do with world games in the future? Can normal people with good intentions survive?

——Can we really endure such great mental pressure until the end of this year?

When emotions spread online, they spread offline.

There were even demonstrations. They held wooden signs with bright red letters and painted their faces as they walked through the streets.

…

In a closed conference room, the sound of discussions and ringing phones could be heard. The blue olive branch flag of the United Regiment was hung on the wall, and several people in black uniforms were moving around in a panic.

Nowadays, in addition to the joint group, various organizational structures based on nationality have also gradually stabilized. Such as Gran Victoria Branch, Yuguo Storm Branch, Dragon Kingdom Yangtze River System, Eagle Country Countermeasure System, North Country Snow System... Due to the inherent advantage of nationality division, they have become one of the most trusted authoritative organizations among players.

In addition, independent alliances have also emerged, such as the Holt Wizards Alliance, which is centered on various mage players. They require sharing skills with each other, discussing team configuration together, and dividing factions by elements.

The famous black card killer organization in the West is also showing its fangs at this moment. This organization is centered on gray line characters such as mercenaries, deserters, and killers, and the best among them are all front-line combatants.

The Sidu Alliance is an alliance with the church as its core. The initial recorded number of people has exceeded 100,000. They are more cohesive than ordinary organizations. Players also gather every week for prayer activities.

In addition to these unique independent organizations, there are voluntary organizations such as the Peace Dove Rescue Society, Blue Earth Force, Red Heart Volunteers, and Olive Branch Rescue Group.

The World Independent Society, the Human Self-Rescue Research Group, the Air Wing, the Evergreen Alliance... these academic-centered organizations are thriving. Dr. Xu, who once produced the "Three Types of Artificial Intelligence Watches", is one of them. Based on human technology and the pitiful reference experience in world games, they have combined many amazing advanced props.

They have begun to formulate plans for adjusting their mental state, and many mental patients who had been frustrated in the Sixth World were brought back from the line of collapse.

——Everyone is contributing to a [tomorrow].

Or it's light, or it's insignificant.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a golden badge on his shoulder stood on the stage of the United Regiment's conference room.

He looked solemn and frowned slightly, obviously not optimistic about the current situation. When he saw a man from the Dragon Kingdom in military uniform approaching, he spoke in a low voice.

"The news can no longer be blocked." He said: "Our medical resource allocation plan...has been leaked."

He is Grete, who once served as a history professor at the Royal Military Academy of Science and Technology in Zhai Xing, and now serves as the head of the administrative department of one of the seven departments in the United Regiment.

The “medical resource allocation plan” he refers to is just a glorified statement. It is essentially a resource allocation strategy that “gives priority to certain types of players.” For example, medical resources from casual players can be allocated to adventurous players. Allocating escorts for low-end adventure players to provide for high-end adventure players...

There is actually nothing wrong with this approach. It is always the best solution during disaster relief - that is, giving up lives that are difficult to save and giving priority to lives that can create greater value.

But this kind of rule, generally speaking, cannot be declared verbally.

...But now, someone has exposed it, along with their planning sheet. It was obviously done by internal personnel.

Many casual players were furious when they heard the news. They had relatives who were still receiving treatment, but were suddenly given up.

The favor of rice rises, and the hatred of rice rises.

No matter how the United Corps provided them with mental health care services before, they became angry once they found out that their share had been usurped.

"——Life should not be measured by value, everyone is equal!"

This is a video recorded by an old professor with gray hair.

"——What standard do they use to measure us? It used to be money, but now it's points? Damn the superiors, their eating habits haven't changed at all!"

This was an angry young man from England, roaring angrily while marching in the street.

"——Indifferent ruler, the devil will come to take away your soul! You gave up my son, he is still so young, you will go to hell!"

This is a crying accusation in a forum video of a woman holding a child and wearing a hijab on her head.

"——Humanity has no 'guardians' anymore. We can only rely on ourselves, but now our 'ourselves' have also become a pile of rotten pots! So rotten!"

This is the roar of an elite man in a suit when he smashes up a hospital.

Among them, there must be people with malicious intentions to push people's emotions to extreme directions. Many heretical churches took the opportunity to spring up and lure people to join them.

But fortunately, most people are still positive.

Professor Kalcha, an evergreen doctoral supervisor from the United Academy of Sciences, announced that he will lead his students to provide medical services to ordinary players and develop medical solutions that can allow people to return to normal.

Major media also immediately reported on these scholars, doctors, and scientists. Familiar bosses, the founder of a certain concept, a medical expert, a leader in a certain field... They appeared in the video named "Future" series, saying that they will definitely make mankind happy for thousands of years. Civilization continues smoothly.

The smooth implementation of the "Hero Project" has gradually made people familiar with these great people who have ordinary faces but look brilliant at the moment. When their slogans and appeals were released, they aroused people's desire for positive energy.

But at this moment,

——The news that Edward was crazy spread like wildfire.

It was leaked at just the right time, just when people were just beginning to arouse hope.

Obviously no one knew about this news except Edward himself and two or three high-ranking people, but it happened to be leaked.

Those two or three high-ranking people are all people with great love, and it is impossible to leak it.

And Edward himself...no one doubted that he was the one who leaked the information.

After the news leaked, panic continued to spread.

——Even the top three top players will go crazy because of the dungeon, what else can they do?

What made this panic even more serious was a post by Herbert, the top player on the list.

[Goodbye, my dear compatriots. 】

A short sentence to go with the last photo. In the photo, the system interface representing the player in front of Herbert turned into dots of blue and shattered. He turned the revolver in his hand and waved to people with a smile.

He was defeated by Su Mingan in the final level of the castle. As soon as he returned, he gave up his identity as a player and did not know which world he would become an NPC in the future.

This is the first person to publicly give up his identity as a player since the World Game began.

For a top-ranked player who has been endowed with popularity, choosing to give up his identity as a player is no different from betraying humanity in people's eyes.

The points represented by Herbert were suddenly cleared at the 48th position in the rankings, and the overall points progress bar of humanity immediately dropped by 0.02%.

The emergence of sanity skills; Edward's madness; Herbert giving up his player identity...

The superposition of three negative news makes the world environment at this time even more chaotic than it was after White Sand Paradise.

…

"Crack, crack."

A white-haired girl wearing a dark sacrificial robe carefully wiped the square stone tablet in her hand.

Her expression was full of exhaustion, and there were dark circles under her eyes, as if she had been tired for a long time.

However, when she heard the voices of the tribesmen outside shouting "Lord Baishen" and saw a figure approaching, she smiled.

"Back?" She looked at the person approaching.

"Back." Su Mingan said.

After the castle copy ended, he and Su Lin were the only surviving players.

Because Lu Shu had become an NPC before, he had lost his qualifications to participate in the competition. Even if he returned to his identity as a player, he would still not be included in the quota.

The followers essentially still belong to the player, but they are now subordinate to someone.

He is now a third-level leader and can bring two followers to join him in the dungeon. Although Jasmine and Qingqing are his followers, they are still little girls who have not grown up. He will not take them out of the dungeon.

"Dang." Xiboer gently placed the slate on the table - this kind of slate represents the death of the people in the sky, and will be wiped and preserved by their relatives.

"It's finally over," she murmured.

After countless reincarnations, countless despairs and deaths, she finally reached the end of the road.

"There is another person." Su Mingan said.

"who?"

"A guy who is still playing in the jungle." Su Mingan said, "I should end things with him."

At this time, Lu Shu, dressed in black, walked in.

"Su Mingan, my audience told me that a lot of things happened..." Lu Shu said: "Edward went crazy and Herbert gave up his identity as a player."

His expression was a little dazed, and even he had not recovered from such shocking news.

He never thought that Edward, the always powerful and proud Granite, would go crazy.

Su Mingan's eyes condensed.

After a moment, he sighed: "...I know."

The system is broken, strength is paramount, crisis is looming, and humanity is diminished. The hidden danger of mental breakdown, the identity differentiation of the organizer...

This kind of thing will only happen more and more in the future.

The later world game will only become more difficult and dangerous.

"Besides, it seems that some people are scolding you on the forum, and the momentum is quite high..." Lu Shu said.

"What?"

"They said..." Lu Shu hesitated for a while: "They said you shouldn't... kill other top players so cruelly, and that you should compete harmoniously..."

Su Mingan raised an eyebrow.

"Is someone starting to be mean again?" he said.

He almost forgot.

The evil of individual human nature is also the biggest hindrance.

"So." Siboer said next to him: "You might as well stay and go to the beach with me. People here believe in you and like you..."

Su Mingan smiled and said nothing.

Sometimes, he thinks about it too.
