First Player

Chapter 1012: one thousand zero ten

Su Mingan discovered that this game can be played over again.

 Each week is sixty minutes long, with an ending at the end. If you are not satisfied with the ending, you can start over. He started over again and again, repeatedly coordinating the three values, and finally succeeded in reaching the tenth round.

 He ​​has recognized that the seventh round is the time point decades ago, and the eighth round is the modern time point. Because in the eighth round, "Xiao Su" appeared and was launching a divine battle, the term "Number One Dream Patroller" also appeared in people's bubbles.

 The ninth round was like the future, and a huge red dot appeared on the map—the alien king representing Susheng.

 He ​​has found the correct way to play the game - the correct way to play this game is not to satisfy people's wishes one by one. This will only continuously increase people's greed and let them enjoy the benefits.

 Crisis must be used to radicalize people.

 When alien species appear, people will realize the need to build defensive props. Only by taking the initiative to destroy the city wall will people realize that the city wall needs to be reinforced. By destroying some plants, people realize the need to protect the environment rather than use them uncontrollably. Use treasure to seduce some people with evil intentions, and soldiers and guards will appear. Only by allowing some officials to accept bribes will an orderly regulatory system emerge. When the plague is rampant, medical research and development will be accelerated.

 The progress of a civilization often needs to be promoted by crises. But the crisis must be just right, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

 Finally, Su Mingan achieved a very good ending.

 …

  【You played the ending (Tide on the Sea)】

   [(Tide on the Sea) Ending: "The alien king failed to revive, and the subsequent towers could not be opened. People live and work in peace and contentment. Apart from forgetting history, they seem to be very happy."]

  【Ending evaluation: s】

 …

Su Mingan watched this ending for a long time.

 He played four endings, and this is the best of them. In the previous three endings, it was not because the faith value was too high that all human beings were reduced to puppets and lost the ability to think for themselves. It means that the danger value is too high and the world will be destroyed.

but…

 …

  【Should we end "Destiny Simulator"? 】

 …

 “No.” Su Mingan said.

 But, no.

 There must be a better ending.

The young man in red robe had been standing quietly for a long time. When he saw Su Ming'an's choice, he turned his head and glanced at Su Ming'an.

 In the next episode, Su Mingan begins to explore various extreme operations.

 For example, what will lead to the destruction of the world. What would lead to the alien king Su being born? How can we let Xiao Su live safely to the end? How can we prevent people from forgetting history. Only after watching most of the endings could he know how to make the best ending.

Human beings are indeed a very tenacious race. Even after one week, the living space of human beings has been very small and the population has been reduced to five digits. They still survived tenaciously until the end of the tenth round.

 Only through internal unity can they be completely destroyed.

  Divide human factions from the beginning into narrow and niche groups. And let the leaders of large organizations compete with some lone heroes. They will surround and kill their own heroes, intensifying conflicts. And set up special identities, give extra favor to people with special identities, and lead people to doubt those with special identities. At the same time, it guides public opinion, blocks those positive remarks, and deliberately promotes those full of malicious remarks, so that people gradually only see the evil in the world. Finally, establish a large-scale organization full of hidden dangers, divide the distance between adventurers and leisure people, and widen the gap between the two.

 —In this way, mankind will be destroyed.

—Just like what the organizers are doing to the players.

Seeing these processes, Su Mingan felt heavy. This simulator had directly told him what would happen if humans continued to fight among themselves.

 At nine o'clock in the morning, Su Mingan started the ninth program.

 He tried his best to meet people's requirements in the first round and got enough divine power cards. Then create appropriate crises to guide the rapid development of civilization. In the eighth round, he allowed "Xiao Su" to act until the Alien King Su was born, and all the towers were opened by "Xiao Su". People can no longer forget history.

 The battle of gods begins. In the ninth round, "Xiao Su" becomes a god.

The world is like a fast-moving movie. He sprinkles saplings one after another, and they soon grow into giant trees in the sky. Every seed is buried in the soil, and in a blink of an eye, the world changes, and the wheat field turns into a vast sea. As the times continue to advance, occasionally the buildings on the map will become ancient, occasionally they will become the style of the Steam Age, and occasionally they will become the Western Fantasy Era. The scenes passing by quickly are dizzying.

  Sometimes, he has just found a person with suitable data and plans to appoint this person as a priest. The next second, this person was already old, and the next second, this person's information disappeared in his hands and turned into dust. From his perspective, time passed too quickly.

 Throughout the game, he has been observing the actions of "Xiao Su".

 “Xiao Su” appears from the eighth round and is indeed a very useful protagonist of the game. No matter how out of control the world's situation is, as long as Xiao Su dies once, time can be traced back to before the crisis, allowing Su Ming'an to operate quickly and timely.

At the same time, he is also trying to reduce the number of Xiao Su's deaths as much as possible. In several weeks, he tries his best to prevent "Xiao Su" from dying. Only when the situation is irreversible will he let "Xiao Su" die once. Allow him to make up for the action.

 "Xiao Su" is always accompanied by a black-haired girl. She and Xiao Su are both very strong, but her body is very fragile and needs to be possessed by armor to become flesh. Su Mingan guessed that the black-haired girl might be Chaoyan. In one episode, he ignored the black-haired girl, which caused tentacles to grow on her body, leading to a terrifying end of the world. Since then, he has been paying attention to her mental state and trying to keep her negative emotions as low as possible. .

 In the tenth round, the Alien King Su is born. In this situation, the only way to solve the dilemma is by asking Xiao Su to take action.

  When Su Mingan asked Xiao Su to go forward, a blood-red warning popped out.

 …

  【Do you really want to do this? (Let Xiao Su face the alien king directly.)]

 …

Su Mingan turned his head and looked at the red-robed boy.

The young man in red robe still looked back at him.

 “What problems will happen?” Su Mingan said.

"Based on your situation this week, there will be no problem. Xiao Su can solve it satisfactorily." said the young man in red robe.

 “Then Xiao Su...will something happen?” Su Mingan said.

The young man in red robe rubbed his temples and sighed: "It will be fine. You have to believe Xiao Su. Besides, there is no better ending than this, right?"

Su Mingan was silent.

 He also tried to see if he could use other methods to suppress the rebirth of the alien king. But the only way is to let everyone forget history and not open the tower - that is, the S-level ending he played (Tide on the Sea).

This is what the gods have always wanted him to do - not to take risks, not to interfere, not to open the tower, and to wait peacefully until the instance is over.

 But this is definitely not a good ending. After the tenth round, the world will be destroyed. Therefore, the only way is... to let Xiao Su face the alien king in the end.

 —It is also in line with what the gods said—“If you persist, you will eventually be swallowed by the alien king.”

 Looking at the warning in front of him: 【Are you really going to do this? 】

Su Mingan’s fingers trembled for a moment before he chose [Yes].

 “Believe in Xiao Su,” said the young man in red robe.

 …

 In the tenth round, Xiao Su faced the Alien King. A huge red dot flashed on the map, while the yellow dot representing Xiao Su approached the Alien King.

Most people followed Xiao Su, as if Xiao Su was a flag that would never fall. These people had never been so united in the previous ten rounds, but now they seemed to have gathered all their strength.

 The moment Xiao Su and the Alien King met, Su Mingan held his breath.

 …

  【End of the tenth round. 】

  【Faith value: 30 (Many people think of the old gods, and they say that the old gods are their gods.)】

  【Goodness value: 70 (The divine war arouses the brilliance in people's hearts.)】

  【Danger value: 30 (Xiao Su faced the alien king and calmed the crisis.)】

 …

  【You made the ending (seal it with me)】

[(Sealed by me) Ending: "After Xiao Su became a god, he faced the alien king and calmed down the crisis. The overlapping shadow in the starry sky left, and everything precious survived. Destiny is not unbreakable, he swore to death with his sword Protect human dignity.”]

  【Ending evaluation: sss】

 …

alright.

 At the last moment, the game does not explain Xiao Su’s personal ending, but it is obvious that Su Mingan achieved the most perfect ending for the world.

The double shadow peeking in the starry sky failed, the world was not destroyed, and Xiao Su also had the possibility of survival.

He rubbed his bloodshot eyes, his whole body felt as heavy as lead. For nine hours of full concentration, he needed to take care of every corner of the map, because he knew that a small oversight on his part could prevent many people from being saved.

During the game, he always thinks again - try his best, be more attentive, and be more serious. As long as he is focused enough, many deaths will not happen.

The young man in red robe supported his shaky figure and asked, "Are you satisfied? Xiao Su's life or death is unknown."

Su Mingan's vision was spinning: "There is no... better ending."

This itself is the route he plans to take. It turns out that this line is correct.

 The fourth game is really short, but has a lot of information. He has gradually become familiar with everything in this world through several weeks of operations.

 “Can I come back after I quit the game?” Su Mingan asked.

"Of course, as long as you come back, you can start a new game at any time, because it is a 'simulator' in itself. It doesn't matter how many times you simulate it." The boy in red robe said: "The game will record your highest-rated game, and it will also It’s this ‘I’ll seal it’ ending.”

In this way, if Su Mingan misses any information in the future, he can come back and play this simulator to get the information.

 He took one last look at the game.

The map with three renderings and two displays a style where realism and virtuality coexist. Dead old trees sprout new buds, withered peach blossoms bloom, and hundreds of bubbles float above people's heads. The little people on these maps are jumping around, seeming to be cheering and celebrating. .

【"we won!"】

【"Very good!"】

  【"Lord Old God! Lord Old God!"】

They laughed freely and put the sculptures and portraits of the fire bearers and victims into the exhibition so that future generations would remember their stories.

 For a time, even while floating in the sky, Su Mingan could hear faint singing coming from the map.

 He discovered that on the map—“Xiao Su” and the black-haired girl were no longer there. Even the "Son of Darkness", "Xiaoyue", "Yueyue" and others who were on the comprehensive ability ranking list at the beginning have completely disappeared.

Su Mingan stared at it for a long time.

"…End Game."

 In an instant, his five senses began to change, and Su Mingan returned to reality.

 …

 “Ding dong!”

 【You gain Dream Patrol points: 10,000 points. 】

 【Current Dream Patrol points: 97192 points】

 …

 【TE3·"You and His Utopia" (reaching the final land of the old days and establishing an Utopia) perfect clearance progress: 70%]

 …

  【You get the title: "Seal with me"】

  【Title effect: When you become a god, you can see the causal lines on the alien king. 】

 …

Su Mingan took off his helmet and suddenly felt quiet outside the door.

He pushed the door open and walked out. Under the quiet morning light, a young man with black hair stood quietly in the hall, spinning a dagger in his hand.

Seeing Su Ming'an coming, the black-haired young man put a dagger on the sleeping Alice's neck.

"Let Alice return to the Holy See, Su Mingan." Su Wensheng said: "Something happened in Baoting City, and the church began to massacre the residents of Baoting City. If she doesn't go back, all her old friends will be killed."

“She will only die if she goes back.” Su Mingan said.

"The gods abandoned her just because she refused to hurt you. But the gods will not really kill her, because she is your weakness." Su Wensheng said: "Your main task is to break the prophecy stone wall, right? The real prophecy stone wall It is over there in the hometown of the spirit. If you go back with her, you will be able to touch the prophecy stone wall, and then break it, and history will return to the world. What I say to you now will not be heard by the spirit, because this is Daoya City. , Li Mingyue is not around either."

Su Mingan opened his eyes slightly.

“The tenth world is one of the few opportunities you have, Su Mingan.” Su Wensheng said, “Don’t you want to know the purpose of the overlapping shadows in the starry sky?”

Su Mingan’s palms were cold, Su Wensheng was telling the truth.

Su Wensheng threw out an immortal talisman seal, and Su Mingan took it.

 —Xianzhi Fuzhuan·Expanded.

This is the Immortal Talisman Seal required for the sixth ring of the main quest. Su Wensheng actually found it directly and gave it to him.

"Let it rain heavily, Su Mingan." Su Wensheng leaned against the window: "Let it rain... to end everything."

Su Mingan stared at the Immortal Talisman Seal in his hand and slowly clenched his fingers.
