First Player

Chapter 69 Chapter 68·"Player No. 1, you are so selfish"

"Ding dong!"

[Received a video request. 】

Su Mingan glanced at it and saw the word "Lu Shu" dancing on it.

"Is something wrong?" He answered the call and saw Lu Shu's usual deadpan face.

"Su Ming'an, you must persevere." Lu Shu said this nonsense.

"?"

"Have you noticed, there are fewer and fewer players who are willing to leave the game now." Lu Shu said: "The Main God Space has been built so comfortably, and the superior mentality of the audience looking down has become more and more serious. They would rather drink tea and talk and laugh than Go to your own end... Moreover, there are also a large number of players who are willing to give up their human identity and stay in the dungeon forever..."

Su Mingan recalled more than one system prompt in the second copy, which seemed to have been encouraging him to become an "observer" - to stay in the White Sun Floating City and become the sole ruler.

It has to be said that if an ordinary player stays in a cool mechanical city, has so many androids at his disposal, becomes the supreme ruler, and has the beautiful Nolia... many people may not be able to refuse. , choose to stay in the copy forever.

The number of players is decreasing.

Even the number of "human beings" is decreasing.

The organizer is cutting the flesh with a soft knife. It will not make you really die, but it will make people willingly degenerate, indulge, and divide... and then be willing to become a piece of data in the copy and enjoy the false reality.

"In three hours, the guild station will be opened. From now on, it will be our guild's independent small space. More than 10,000 top guild players will gather together." Lu Shu said: "First player, when the time comes, let's speak. Bar."

"Public speaking?" Su Mingan lowered his head and flipped through the backpack rails: "Okay, I have no problem."

"And..." Lu Shu paused for a moment: "Wait a minute, let's find a teahouse and meet."

"Okay." Su Mingan put on her cloak and opened the door.

Lu Shu provided a coordinate. When going out, you only need to input the coordinate to reach the server directly.

[You are about to enter the Main God's Square (Server 2465 - due to the large number of players and spectators, the system automatically divides the Main God's Square into 50,000 squares, each square can accommodate 20,000 players]

In front of us is a crowded square shrouded in sunlight. The familiar Boss Rabbit fountain sculpture is filled with brilliant light, and the sight is brilliant.

Su Mingan first saw the ocher-red building in the center of his field of vision. Many players were walking in and out along the red carpet. There was a golden [Auction House] plaque hanging on the door - it should be the content of this update. This way players don’t have to look for a needle in a haystack to buy things from stalls.

Next to it is a circular iron-gray building, which seems to be open-air and has a lot of people. It should be what the system calls [Arena]. It is a good place for training in actual combat. Some players who are not very popular can also increase their popularity here. .

He knew that the Main God's Square was voluntarily divided into areas by the players, including the Dragon Kingdom area and other areas. People of different nationalities lived in different servers, just like a recreated Zhai Xing. It is said that the areas 1 and 2 with the higher numbers are divided into central areas and military areas. Some joint regiments and troops are being established, as if to maintain the peace of the Lord God's world.

Su Mingan walked directly towards the coordinates given by Lu Shu and walked along a street. This was the living area. The buildings on both sides were also in the Dragon Kingdom style, with white walls and black tiles, surrounded by green vines. The shops on both sides were also in the same style. The ancient town style of Yulong Kingdom. Su Mingan even saw Hanfu shops, antique shops, etc. among them.

He walked all the way to the teahouse. There were actually quite a lot of people in this teahouse. It was a three-story building with many players sitting by the wooden windows chatting and drinking tea.

But their eyes were all floating upward, as if they were looking at someone.

[Su Mingan: Where are you? 】Su Mingan sent a private message.

[Lu Shu: Come to the second floor. 】

Su Mingan walked up the stairs.

...He finally understood why there were so many people in this teahouse.

Sitting by the lattice window, a young man with a pair of dead fish eyes was looking over here. He was wearing a black Hanfu. A green mantis and a crimson butterfly rested quietly on his shoulders, and the light dazzled him. With calm facial features and clear black and white eyes, the whole picture looks as beautiful as an ink painting.

...Lu Shu actually didn't do any hiding at all!

As expected, the other players' eyes were more or less tilted in that direction, and they were discussing in low voices the deeds of "Lu Shu".

Su Mingan walked over with a cloak covering his whole body and sat down opposite him. He noticed that there was a beautiful mature woman sitting next to Lu Shu. She had two long ponytails hanging down. When she raised her phoenix eyes, there were two straight streaks of light, as sharp as knives. For a moment, I felt like gold and iron were at war.

"Third in the world rankings, Mizushima Kawakora." The woman stretched out her hand: "Hello, number one player, I have long admired your name."

Fortunately, she knew better than Lu Shu and kept her voice very low so that others could not hear her announcement.

"Su Ming'an." Su Ming'an grasped and closed in a controlled manner. He noticed that her fingers were very slender, and there were two clear white marks on the back of her hand, which were proof of two perfect passes.

A real smile appeared on his face.

Lu Shu stood up and made tea for him. The technique was very professional. At this time, Lu Shu's body did not have the sharpness that controlled the mantis to kill. His whole body was filled with calmness and warmth. This made Su Mingan, who had just come out of a brutal escape, feel like he had returned to the Dragon Kingdom.

Su Mingan glanced at the tea, and an introduction screen actually popped up:

【Longjing (excellent quality)

Type: Mental recovery products

Effect: After drinking, it can temporarily increase mental points by 3-6 points.

Manufacturing requirements: advanced tea-making skills, top-quality tea leaves, suitable location, tea-making props, and more than 10 minutes of preparation time. It can be crafted in the game world if all the conditions are met.

Introduction: Who is lucky enough to taste the tea brewed by the fourth person in the world using his lv.7 tea-making skill (logistics skill)? 】

Su Mingan felt that this might be Lu Shu's most useless skill.

"Su Ming'an, I have heard about your deeds, and I have also seen the clips made by players for you." Mizushima Kawakora stared at him: "I admire you...in every sense. But I still have doubts in my heart. .”

"Please say."

"I've never understood..." Mizushima Kawakora nodded at the back of his hand: "You are too prescient for many futures... Many players are also arguing on the forum about this matter. Although some people point out that you may have special skills, there are still some They suspect that you are an undercover agent sent by the organizer. They feel that the organizer wants to promote you to be the number one in order to make the Zhai Star human race despair."

Lu Shu glanced at Su Ming'an with a vague expression.

"...That's it." Su Ming'an said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I can understand such thoughts... But, Miss Mizushimakawa, what do you think?"

"I don't believe it." Mizushima Kawakora took a sip of tea: "Your theories, everything you have shown... are not like what an undercover agent with high-dimensional life can possess. I believe you are a human being, because human beings have infinite possibilities. …We have also guessed what you might get in the end by completing the level perfectly, so, first player, what would be your wish?”

Su Mingan's fingertips trembled.

Lu Shu brewed the tea and placed it in front of Su Ming'an. He sat down in silence, not saying a word from beginning to end.

"——We have always cared about this." Her voice suddenly came closer.

Su Ming'an suddenly felt a shadow coming over him. He raised his head and saw Mizushima Kawakora's pair of obsidian eyes.

"If you want us to support you and believe you, you need to tell us what we need to know." Mizushima Kawakora was very close to him, and her long eyelashes were almost brushing in front of his eyes: "You are the number one player, You should tell us the most important reason."

"Are you threatening me?" Su Mingan heard the implication of Mizushima Kawakora's words.

"Although I recognize your identity as a human being, I still doubt your intentions." Mizushima Kawa Sora said calmly: "After all, from the surface, you are the kind of person who would sacrifice his companions for perfect points. I dare not I believe in the goodness of human nature, and I don’t think you are completely evil. But if you insist on hiding it, I will only think that you have other intentions - when a person is held up to the throne, all desires will be magnified, player number one Also like this."

"So, what do you think my wish will be?" Su Mingan said.

Mizushima Kawa Sora stared at him with more and more serious eyes.

"It is already widely accepted as a guess what reward you will receive if you pass all the levels perfectly." Mizushima Kawa Sora said: "I also asked the boss rabbit what exactly he would get, but he refused to tell me."

...Boss Rabbit naturally cannot let go easily.

Su Mingan got this answer because of Death's persuasive approach and Boss Rabbit's playfulness. If Mizushima Kawa Sora had asked him a simple question, he would have just laughed and prevaricated.

"The right to rule the world? The strongest strength? Immortality? Or what?" Mizushima Kawakora followed closely: "What will you get by completing all the levels perfectly? What will make you obsessed like this?"

Su Mingan looked at her with a smile: "What do you think? You should have guessed it. If you pass all the levels perfectly - you can get everything you want..."

Mizushima Kawakora showed an expression of "Sure enough," and his voice amplified: "——What about you? What do you want to get? Such a fanatical number one player?"

Lu Shu tugged on her clothes. He didn't expect that this wave of probing questions would be magnified to this extent by her. This almost forced questioning... was different from what they had discussed before.

Other people in the teahouse glanced over and whispered.

"That seems to be Mizushima River who is third on the list..."

"Lu Shu is here too, what are they arguing about?"

"There's a guy sitting opposite who is hiding his identity. I don't know who he is. Why do you feel like you're being scolded?"

"The big bosses are quarreling, it's really new, but there are more and more people in this place... It seems that they have received the news that the third and fourth names on the list have appeared here."

"..."

Mizushima Kawakora also noticed that her voice was louder. She sat down again and her eyes became calm for a moment.

Su Mingan's expression did not change.

"I want to save you." He smiled and said, "Then do you believe me?"

Mizushima Kawakora frowned.

She didn't believe the student in front of her at all.

The other party is too young, and no one would trust a guy who has suddenly made a name for himself. What's more, Su Mingan's sudden rise has made some people feel threatened. Although mankind is facing a crisis, this does not mean that the original rulers can calmly put down their power and give such a big say as "number one in the world" to a suspicious guy. .

Some people still foolishly hold on to their original concepts, believing that mankind can survive this catastrophe, and that the emergence of the first player is dividing their cake.

They believe that as long as Mizushima Kawakora can defeat Su Mingan, the number one spot will belong to them.

Mizushima Kawakora said coldly: "——I can't let you continue to rule, Su Ming'an of the Dragon Kingdom. Those people who support your Lighthouse faction are going crazy. They live like heretics and go crazy in the forum. Publicize your deeds everywhere and praise you as the only god...If you continue like this, even if the world game ends, Zhai Xing...will become Zhai Xing, a dictator like you."

"Dictator?" Su Mingan said, "What if I'm not?"

"A nineteen-year-old student, a member of the Dragon Kingdom with an ordinary background. How insightful and selfless can you be?" Mizushima Kawakora was unyielding.

"So it turns out that it's the viewers who praise me as a god who make you feel... that I threaten your rule." Su Ming'an smiled lightly and put it bluntly: "So, are you going to label me now? Take it. Did you come down here to occupy the great righteousness and try to defeat me? Miss Mizushimagawa, which force do you belong to? Which human organization?"

Mizushima Kawakora's eyes flashed with embarrassment: "Nonsense!"

"Then - what you said is true and reasonable, the 'selfless' Miss Mizushimakawa!" Su Ming'an's eyes met Mizushimakawa Sora for a moment: "I am just... such an ordinary person. I'm just A college student from the Dragon Kingdom has such naive thoughts - therefore, whatever label you put on my head is absolutely 'correct' - as the number one player, I should always be kind and kind, and I should be kind to you. Every player in trouble reaches out to help, I should join your organization and become a knife in your hand, right?”

Mizushima Kawakora stood up, her long ponytail brushed in the warm mist, bringing up a burst of mist that captivated her eyes.

She said coldly: "Nonsense! I will not put my hope in you, young man."

"Miss Mizushimachuan, you have fixed my selfishness in your heart." Su Mingan raised his head.

Lu Shu was beside him and looked confused. He didn't expect that the two people would suddenly quarrel so fiercely.

"Su Ming'an - I will be the one to pass all the levels perfectly." Mizushima Kawasora said: "I will make a wish to make everything beautiful. Whether your thoughts are noble or selfish, I don't care. I I will only take the initiative in my own hands - I will never, never let the chance of getting the reward fall into the hands of others."

"What a shining lighthouse..." Su Mingan spread his hands: "Then, use everything you have to stop me! In order to prevent people like me from winning in the end, please selfless Miss Mizushima River, please do your best to win Until the end, right?”

Mizushima Kawakora looked at this person.

...He seemed to be really happy.

…It’s simply baffling.

Her teacup knocked on the table, making a crisp sound.

"The control of Zhai Xing must not fall into your hands. The number one player is still suitable for someone who is more stable and knowledgeable... You are just a student, and I will become the strongest player in the world game. I will never let Zhai Xing fall into the control of someone like you."

There was no concealment in her voice, and the whole teahouse heard her voice, and there was silence for an instant.

She left neatly without leaving a single glance.

"Su Ming'an..." Lu Shu didn't seem to have expected that this high-level meeting of the First Guild would turn out like this: "Mizushima Chuan is really a madman, why did she come up and accuse you..."

"Her purpose is to label me as selfish." Su Mingan smiled.

He saw through Mizushima Kawakora's true purpose at a glance, so he didn't save her any face at all. He knew that even if he bowed his head in front of someone like her, he would only be laughed at.

Some people are like this. The weaker you are, the more complacent they become. Especially those who are infighting, they can't be pulled back at all.

The surrounding discussion gradually started. People were surprised and confused. It turned out that the man in black robe was the number one player Su Ming'an. But what Mizushima Kawakora said was so shocking that many people had taken screenshots and recorded them to post on the forum. discussed above.

"Mizushima Kawata shouldn't have done it. She shouldn't have accused you like this in public. The public opinion consequences would have been too..." Lu Shu frowned slightly.

Su Mingan could see clearly that Mizushima Kawakora just wanted to challenge the number one player and find a "legitimate" reason to raise the banner.

Provoking infighting among humans in this kind of game... Is her stupid behavior a momentary passion, or is it driven by some invisible hand behind it?

He admired [Lighthouses] like her. Naturally, the more people who were obsessed with completing the level, the better.

He has accepted a fate that cannot be understood because his trump card cannot be revealed. You shouldn't blame Mizushima Kawakora for not being able to see the situation clearly. After all, it was difficult for anyone to see clearly. It was also his fault, and he had to remain silent.

... He just felt sad for her actions of provoking infighting among humans and pointing the finger at humans themselves.

When this game first started, people like Sora Mizushima who were accustomed to the old order would not believe him at all.

Because he is just a student, an isolated island, a guy with unknown temperament and a sudden rise, it is impossible for the original interest groups to let him rise to power.

...This is a class-shuffling game. How could those people give the initiative completely to themselves?

The help he needs is the billions of ordinary people who really like him because they "see" him.

This is a gradual process.

"Su Ming'an, Mizushima River is like this... She has always been a bit inexplicable. You don't need to pay too much attention to her words... This game is inherently competitive. If you can get everything by completing the level perfectly, you should work hard for it!" Lu Seeing that Su Mingan seemed to want to leave, Shu said quickly.

Lu Shu saw Su Ming'an's gaze.

"...It's okay. Even if I'm wrong, even if my final guess is wrong...it's because of my own lack of ability." Su Mingan murmured in a low voice, then raised his voice and laughed:

"The tea is delicious, thank you... Lu Shu."

He strode out.
