Chapter 46 Chapter 45·The First Player Trap

Su Ming'an suddenly felt that the power was like a mountain, weighing him down and almost suffocating him. He panted slightly and spoke with bright eyes:

“…The secret of perfect clearance?” He smiled, with a bit of disguised joy and pride: “So, am I right? There is indeed a final reward for completing all levels perfectly?”

 The death retracement is his only recourse, and he cannot expose it.

　　Although I don’t know whether this is malicious intent from another unknown entity...but as a human being, all I can do is try my best in this circle.

"Guess?" The organizer seemed to pause: "So, you are indeed very suitable to be a player."

"From the perspective of the game structure, it must be meaningful to set up a [perfect pass], not just the extra 30 points, right?" Su Mingan said with a smile: "So, I guessed that maybe in the end, there will be A [big prize] is waiting for me.”

 …an almost identical reenactment.

The difference is that the Su Ming'an now is not the Su Ming'an who was about to die in the basement of the hospital, and the organizers did not let down their guard against him.

From that death, he saw that the organizers seemed to want to hide the fact that [those who complete the level perfectly can get everything] were rewarded.

  Boss Rabbit’s response has always been passive, only admitting that “our game has no loopholes” before admitting his guess about the final reward.

 But in fact, the reward for completing this level is obvious. This mechanism is enough for him to ask about, and more people must think about this mechanism. The future may not be a secret.

 It's just that there is a bottom line that he must not touch...

 A bottom line detected by his retracement...

“So—Player No. 1, as the strongest player, what do you hope the final grand prize will be?”

 The organizer's words echoed in his ears. The words were spoken in a leisurely manner, and there seemed to be no sense of danger.

 …Only Su Mingan himself knew the deep malice hidden in it.

"What I hope...is still the same." Su Mingan scratched his face and looked a little embarrassed: "As the strongest, I naturally hope...that when I return to Zhai Star, I will also be the strongest. I want to gain [Domination] Zhai The rights of the stars...I wonder if the great organizer can grant me this?"

 …It is impossible for him to say the word "redeeming Zhai Xing".

　　After he died in the basement that day, when he mentioned this possibility, Boss Rabbit looked at a dead person with a look of destruction, which frightened him.

He suspected that if he had not taken the initiative to turn back... he might not have survived.

  If you admit that "you can get everything by completing the level perfectly", it is still within the scope of Boss Rabbit's acceptance.

 …When he said his request to "redeeme Zhai Xing", it was as if he had hit a lightning point.

If you are just a Zhai Xing human and your wish is more in line with your selfish desires and the structure is smaller [Dominate] Zhai Xing, such a request should be approved.

If it was something like [Redemption of Zhai Xing], where the organizer was completely driven out, and there was a complete desire to open up the opposition... could he really stand here safely again?

"...I see." The organizer's voice was very calm: "Since this is your wish, go ahead and do it boldly - we don't mind the strongest player becoming our agent on Zhai Star. "

　　　…This word is really interesting.

Su Mingan thought about this word secretly, and he knew that the purpose of these high-dimensional creatures would not be as simple as a game.

 He must conceal his true purpose.

He didn’t know whether the word “law” had any restrictive ability for high-dimensional creatures, but when he died in the basement, he learned that even high-dimensional creatures must abide by things.

For example..."The person who completes the level 100% can get everything he wants, including the fact that he redeems Zhai Xing."

—According to the situation at the time, after admitting the former, Boss Rabbit also admitted the latter.

  Boss Rabbit’s attitude at that time was very solemn.

 So, when it comes to victory in the end, can he tell his true wish?

 Although it is just speculation, it is not yet known whether it can be realized. He will need to further test the information in the future.

 …But people must have a goal that they can work hard for in order to maintain the bottom line of being a "human" in this desperate game.

This was also the expectation that his father had given him that day.

"Thank you, great organizer." Su Mingan spread his hands and smiled: "As a lighthouse that can [control] Zhai Xing, I will work hard to the end and live up to your expectations of me..."

"...You go back." The organizer seemed not to want to talk to him anymore, and they seemed to be very busy.

A white light flashed, and Su Mingan returned to his personal space.

 He ​​did not show any emotion about surviving the disaster. He did not know whether he was still under the surveillance of the organizer, so he could only open the system interface with a calm expression.

 …Then, the next goal is to win until the end.

 As long as a person is strong enough, it doesn’t matter whether his reasons are noble or not, he will drive a large number of people to follow his footsteps.

 He is already the one who has gone the best among all, and is qualified to have a short dialogue with the organizer.

　　…No matter how derailed his current behavior is, being called paranoid or guilty…

 But loving a world and loving one’s homeland does not require any reason at all.

In order for Zhai Xing not to become a testing ground for aliens.

 He is also saving himself.

 …

 He looked at his points.

 Including the exploration points and honor points in the game, it is now 395 points.

The system sound continues:

  【The following begins the process of acquiring skills. 】

　　【It is detected that the player has passed the level perfectly in SSS level, the skill level is set to the highest level, and the probability of obtaining the highest level skill increases sharply. (Note: Players can have up to three skills. If there is another opportunity to draw skills in the future, the skills already owned need to be replaced)]

 【The cost of a draw is 150 points. Do you want to draw it? 】

"yes."

 【Acquire rare (purple level) potential skills: Space (evolvable)】

  【Space lv.1: A controllable skill with great potential, which can be expanded through upgrading. (lv.1 effect: short-distance spatial displacement (mana loss: 120 points)) (After two spatial displacements are used up, you need to wait for one hour before you can continue to use it)]

 …

 【Skill upgrades at red level and above require killing players with the same skill potential level (only in competitive worlds)】

 【Combat power (personal normal): 260+50 (for reference only)】

 【Remaining points: 245 points (it is recommended that you keep a certain amount of points, the career system will be opened before the second world is about to open)】

 …

 【Because you have passed the level perfectly, you will get an extra copy (Source of the World)】

  [*Source of the World (no level): Try your best to collect it! You will find the charm that comes from laws that cannot be disobeyed]

Su Mingan stared at the small white light that appeared in his hand. One of them was so bright that he could not see anything clearly.

…Light.

 This is what he pursues in every world.

The source of the world turned into white light and penetrated the back of his hand, and he saw a white water drop pattern appear on the back of his hand.

This thing is not available in the novice level, it is only available after the first world ends.

This may mean that beginner levels do not count towards perfect completion.

Su Mingan breathed a sigh of relief—this meant that at least he was not walking alone.

　　【The first world has ended, and the second world will open three days later according to the time flow rate of the main god's space. 】

[The main **** space (main **** world) has been opened. Players and viewers can go out of their personal space and exchange points and items in the main **** world square (note: free giving and large-scale reselling are not allowed. Points and prices must be kept stable, otherwise The system will severely punish you!)]

　　【The World Forum is open: During the three-day break, adventure players can log in to the World Forum. 】

 【The world rankings are open: please open the system panel to view for yourself】

 …

 He left the big ball of light and all the screens went dark.

 He looked around at this personal room that belonged to him. It was a very ordinary room with a bed, a table and chairs, and no windows. There was a bright light at the top, so he could see everything clearly.

The experience in the apocalyptic world made him too exhausted, but he still managed to open his own panel, enter Yueyue's account to search, and send a friend invitation—he had to confirm that she was still there, even if she was now a viewer.

 The friend invitation has not been responded to yet. He couldn't help but fell down on the bed from exhaustion and closed his eyes.

In the dream, everything was hazy, and he vaguely heard obscure words:

 …

　　　　Why save? 】

　　　　　Why do you tolerate gossip? 】

　　【You can play with time and reset everything infinitely. 】

　　【As long as you reset, no one will remember how you treated them, no one will remember the gratitude and love you once gave. You can play with the timeline repeatedly, play with anyone's feelings, and explore their behavior and feedback. 】

They will think they are being guided by you independently, acting like marionettes on strings based on feedback you already know. You can personally rescue people from a bridge that is about to break and watch them burst into tears of gratitude to you, or you can personally place people under a collapsing house and watch them die in silence. 】

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　ifies in . 】

　　【You will get tired of seeing the expressions they will show and the reactions they will have to a certain behavior. 】

　　【No matter who it is, you can control it. You can make any friends you like, buy stocks and make a lot of money, live in various luxury houses, eat all kinds of delicious food, and read every interesting comic and novel. 】

　　【And they will always smile at you, knowing nothing about your previous actions, even if you have tortured and killed them. 】

  【Wouldn’t it be nice to have a happy ending, then keep resetting this period of time, and enjoy happiness. Go ahead and do whatever. 】

　　—Stop it, first ‘player’. 】

　　【Is it interesting to give up your god-like power of stagnant time and become an ordinary person who lives, grows old, gets sick and dies? 】

　　　【Stop rescuing. 】

　　【Human beings cannot understand you, and human beings will not appreciate you. 】

They can’t see the piles of corpses in your abandoned surroundings, nor can they see your struggle and indulgence in the cycle of life and death. 】

 …

Su Mingan woke up with a start, his pupils tightened.

 “Huh…huh…huh…”

He stood up straight, breathing heavily, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and his back was wet. His heart was filled with bulging emotions, as if it was about to overflow.

 …Don’t think so.

 …an inexplicable dream.

 Possessing extraordinary power can easily turn a person into a demon. But he can't.

 He held his chest to calm down for a while, still feeling very sleepy, and fell back to sleep.

 …

  【World Forum·Discussion Area】

●Today’s World Forum is still very lively.

 After all the adventure players returned, the forum became even more lively. A group of viewers who had admired the adventure players for a long time were frantically posting on the world forum, hoping that they could see themselves.

At a glance now, the forum is full of all kinds of headlines.

　　【Two or three things you have to know about Lu Shu—Reviews from the live broadcast】

 【Full record of Noel's strength system—Bold conjectures about life experience】

 【Rational analysis of how Aini can rise again in the second world】

 …

The World Forum even has a section dedicated to various great gods, setting up a place similar to a certain person's super chat post bar, which is full of various posts about that person.

Of course, the most popular and arguably the most eye-catching one is the “First Player” division.

One of the big waves is that people have conducted a comprehensive (I don’t know whether it is correct or not) analysis of Su Ming’an’s life experience, personality, interpersonal relationships, strength, etc., among which a large number of people who call themselves “Ming’an’s junior high school classmates” and “Ming’an’s” have emerged. "Neighbors, relatives and friends", as well as a large number of people who claim to "watch the live broadcast from beginning to end" and "analysis data emperor", all kinds of people analyze and analyze, and the quarrel is drawn out, which leads to "who is Ming'an fighting with?" Topics such as "How many times is it?" are very similar to the topics that once debated whether "Frostmourne" or "Delight of Fire" is better, "Who is better, Luffy or Zoro", and "How many famous quotes did Lu Xun say?"

There is also a wave of people outside the analysis faction who praise and criticize Su Mingan’s ideas—this wave of people are more noisy than the analysis emperors, and they are like the great gods in Zhihu, “About Su Mingan "Thinking about the lighthouse theory" and "Why has the attitude of the first player changed so much", while arguing, "He is the beacon of mankind, you don't understand Ming'an's pain at all!" "This is the style of the first player! ", while saying, "This kind of thinking is a manifestation of deviating from the normal three views!" "There is not only survival of the fittest in the world," extending the scolding war from popular posts to uninterested posts that no one reads.

The last wave is relatively uncontroversial. They are purely party-lovers, with many pictures and texts of the highest quality. There are countless CPs about love stories, poems about men and women in dreams.

So, when Su Mingan woke up after a day’s sleep and logged into the forum, what he saw was this chaos.

  【Dear player (Su Mingan), welcome to the World Forum】

 【Attention: 0, Fans: 729,836,821 people, Number of posts: 0】

He looked at it and saw that the top was a large number of challenge letters from various top players. Among them, there was actually a challenge letter from Aini threatening to fight again, all of which were aimed at him.

 In addition, he also noticed that the points gained by players from robbing others in the dungeon cannot be used directly. They can only be counted as a "plunder evaluation" and can be exchanged for some props.

  Players still have to rely on the points awarded by the final copy evaluation to improve themselves.

He looked at the forum, which was still being updated with a large number of discussions. Some were speculating on the type of the second world, some were summarizing the first world, there were also discussion posts about whether one should become an adventure player or an audience, and some were about the future of mankind. Guess, there is resentment against the game organizer, and also... thinking about the lighthouse theory.

Su Mingan's originally somewhat hazy mental state was instantly cheered up, and he immediately clicked on the post [Personal Thoughts on the First Player's "Lighthouse Theory"].

 Then, he saw the beginning:

　　—I heard that if you put the word "lighthouse" in the title, you have a chance to capture Su Ming'an! Even if the chance of being seen is extremely low, I will shout with all my strength: Su-ming-an! You are my beacon, my hope, my world! ! I am your most loyal fan and I will always follow you—]

Su Mingan closed the post immediately.

　　… Damn it, I was really attracted by the title.

 He glanced at other posts and finally couldn't help but click on another one titled [Follow or give up? Thoughts on the successors of humanity’s lighthouse]

 He continued to read the beginning:

　　【This is a post recording my relationship with Su Mingan. Today is the third day of our relationship. Even though we are separated by a world, I have always liked him. 】

Below is a group photo, which was obviously closed deliberately by the poster. The picture is a live broadcast screenshot of Su Ming'an sitting on a bench, but Yu Ruohe next to it has been covered up, and a girl with a two-dimensional appearance has been posted. , looking at him lovingly.

Su Mingan immediately skipped these and glanced at the replies below.

  【Suggested change to: First Player Trap】

 【Good guy, I'm just a good guy】

　　【I thought he was another analyst, but I didn't expect that he was selling sheep's head to dog meat again】

Su Mingan closed the post in silence, but after browsing for a while, he found that there were also seemingly normal posts, such as a very popular post that popped up while he was sleeping.

  【Hope for the future, light for mankind, eternal shining beacon】

 The poster is Lu Shu, and his ID is marked with a silver honor badge of "World Ranking No. 4", so that no one will be confused with someone with the same name.
