Different from Qiu Yu's caution, Qian Xiao kicked the door of every room in the most violent but fastest way. Qiu Yu just followed him blankly, neither joining in the move nor objecting. Even Qiu Yu himself couldn't tell whether he really liked this exciting game setting as Qian Xiao said, but the more he thought about it, the more he realized that his true thoughts frightened him.
Before they knew it, the two of them had wandered around the entire building.
"About that post..."
"What?" Qian Xiaowan rubbed his waist and rubbed his sore feet from kicking the door.
"I mean, there should be more to that post than what you just said, right?"
Qian Xiao hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "There are indeed many things, but they are somewhat different from the current situation. I am just looking for the reason now."
Seeing that Qiu Yu was hesitant to speak, Qian Xiao continued, "Let me ask you first, regarding the current situation, you have involuntarily believed that this is an alien because of some kind of alien signal or your own feelings. Is this a war game played by a super civilization?"
Qiu Yu wanted to shake his head, but after a moment he nodded.
"Then continuing with the content in the post, according to the estimates in it, it is impossible for a race with a super civilization to participate in such a game by itself, which would be too boring. So they will act as a controller, just like us playing computer games, Looking down at all this from the highest place, the object of the war should be between civilizations under their control. However, wars between different civilizations are likely to become overwhelming due to decades of technological differences. Let this There are only two ways to make war games interesting."
Qian Xiao walked towards the entrance of the dormitory building and continued, "One is to select civilizations with the same technical level for war, and the other is to use powerful force to put civilizations of different levels on the same starting line. As a powerful To the extreme civilization, they will definitely choose the second, more interesting method.”
The entrance to the dormitory is two wooden doors that are not too new, but they have been completely frozen and become harder than stone. Qian Xiao pushed a few times but couldn't move at all. "If we use the law of changing the universe as a technical conjecture, then the civilization that controls the war game can have unlimited means to achieve a balance among other civilizations. One of them is a bit like what we are encountering now. This is the situation." Qian Xiao looked back at Qiu Yu, "Help me open this door first."
Qiu Yu looked at the door, then looked at the world outside the window that was completely white, and closed his eyes for a moment, "I advise you not to open the door. I remember that this door has not been closed for a long time, and Most of the windows we passed along the way were open last night. But now they are all closed. If what you said is true, it is very likely that the current situation was given to us by the civilization that played the war game. Protection, if we take the initiative to open the doors and windows, we will leave the novice protection state, which should be quite dangerous for us who have no understanding of the current situation."
Qian Xiao's body, which was about to hit the door, froze in half due to Qiu Yu's words, "It's so dangerous, it's so dangerous. You deserve to be a master, you saved my life." Qian Xiao patted his head and suddenly got big. He shouted, "If closing the doors and windows for us is a kind of novice protection, then letting me meet you might also be a kind of novice protection."
Qiu Yu sighed, "You told me about the content of that post, it should be to protect my novice, we are mutual."
"Haha, it seems that the game is also very picky about the participants. Only those of us who are special in some way and can face such situations calmly are qualified to play this game." Qian Xiao's face was really proud. expression.
"Calm down?" Qiu Yu said this word mockingly to himself. If he hadn't met someone, he might have collapsed from fear.
Qian smiled and nodded proudly, "Yes, if most people encountered this kind of situation, they would be scared crazy. How can they talk about this as happily as we do."
"..." Qiu Yu has roughly understood that if he was selected as a participant in this game because of his inexplicable perception ability, then this fat man is because of his terrifyingly strong and thick nerves. "Go back to your room first. I feel like the clothes I'm wearing now have no effect."
"Why do I feel colder and colder when I hear you say that?" Qian Xiao jumped on the spot, walked back, then turned back and asked with squinted eyes. "Are you going to your room or mine?"
What was originally a serious question was made extremely horrifying by the fat man's weird expression.
After Qian Xiao fully armed himself into a bloated polar bear, he came to Qiu Yu's room and saw Qiu Yu sealing a quilt with fishing line and tape where the window used to be.
"I'm afraid the temperature will continue to drop. I don't know how high it is." Qiu Yu wiped the non-existent sweat on his head.
Qian Xiao took out a cartoon-shaped thermometer from his pocket and said, "Ten degrees below zero."
"It's so cold, only ten degrees below zero?"
"Hey...this thermometer can only reach minus ten degrees at most."
Qiu Yu took the thermometer, looked at it, and then threw it to the ground. With a bang, a piece of silver and transparent debris gradually appeared.
"What are you doing? That's private property."
Qian Xiao looked at the ground distressedly. If he hadn't been unable to bend down now, Qiu Yu suspected that he might have picked up all the wreckage on the ground.
Qiu Yu said with a headache, "Just measure the temperature. The freezing point of mercury is minus thirty-nine degrees. Now it seems that the temperature is already lower than this temperature."
"Oh..." Qian Xiao quickly changed his expression to one of admiration, "As expected of a master."
"If the temperature drops any lower, we will be dead. It shouldn't be like this if we have a novice to protect us. If you still have the strength, please tell me the rest."
Nodding, Qian Xiao's expression finally became serious, "A situation similar to the current situation is that in order to make war more interesting and limit the impact of technological differences, super civilizations will establish a copy space, or a parallel space. Space, special battlefield rules are formulated for this space. The methods that both parties fighting in this parallel space battlefield can use cannot exceed this law. To put it simply, technological means cannot be used to a certain extent, and the number of people fighting is limited. , or establish a home court advantage for the weaker side."
"I understand." Qiu Yu said, "What you said just now is different from the current situation. It probably means that we don't have any usable technology now. There are only two of us fighting. At least for now, there is also the outside world. , it’s not like we can stay at home anyway. Logically speaking, as this is our first time participating in this war, there is no way we would be subject to such big restrictions.”
"Yes, even if we are suppressed like this, then the opponent we are going to war with is probably too weak. I just wanted to go out and see what our opponent in this game is like."
Qiu Yu sighed to his hand and said slowly, "You said we are now under novice protection. Have you ever seen a player-versus-player game? There is no novice tutorial, and two players are directly allowed to start the game. Fighting between?"
Qian Xiao's eyes lit up, "You mean, the current situation is just a tutorial for novices, we...we don't have any so-called enemies, and now we just need to adapt to the battlefield first?"
This fat man has agility and thinking that are inconsistent with his body shape - this is Qiu Yu's current evaluation of Qian Xiao in his heart.
"I think it's mostly like this. Only if we stay for a certain amount of time can we really get in touch with this game, but the premise is that we can survive in this environment that is dangerous enough without fighting."
"We can't even pass the novice tutorial, and we really don't have the qualifications to play the game." Qian Xiao suddenly walked out of the door.
"Hey, where are you going?"
When Qiu Yu asked, Qian Xiao happened to walk to the room across the corridor, and then kicked the door hard. After the sound of thunder, Qian Xiao went into the house and hugged the quilt on the bed, "Gather some warm things. If this continues, the little in your room won't be enough."
Qiu Yu walked over to help, but was stopped by Qian Xiao. Qian Xiao said that in this game Qiu Yu is a mage, and his main task and fighting method is to use his mouth, while he is a warrior type character. He should be allowed to do these physical tasks.
But Qiu Yu didn't really stop. He followed Qian Xiao into one empty room after another, hoping to find something. In fact, nothing was found, which brought more information to Qiu Yu than what he found.
Every room is in an extremely ordinary situation - daily utensils are neatly placed (even if there are some irregularities, it is completely the personal living habits of the room owner); most computers are in standby mode. Some are even running a certain online game; clothes are placed randomly in places that can be easily reached without getting up; the quilts on each bed are flat on the bed, and some have slight bulges, as if there are still people He was lying on the bed and sleeping.
It looked as if all these people had suddenly disappeared. Qiu Yu was sure that if he were alone now, he would be scared crazy.
After the energetic Qianxiao plundered all the bedding on the entire floor, he still thought about going to other floors. He didn't stop until Qiu Yu repeatedly said that the room could no longer be filled. At this time, even the indoor walls were covered with a thick layer of white frost. Qiu Yu and Qian Xiao worked together to staple or stick all the quilts that were a little stiff from the cold to the wall. But even so, after a few dozen minutes it became unbearably cold.
"This school is really stingy. It would be great if they installed air conditioning for us." Qian Xiao's voice was shaking much more now than before, but it was obviously not because of excitement.
Qian Xiao was still trembling while speaking, but Qiu Yu couldn't even speak clearly, "Even if there is an air conditioner... the air conditioner should be... frozen."
Qian Xiao curled his lips, "If that doesn't work, let's make a fire."
This tempting proposal made Qiu Yu hesitate for half a minute, "No." Qiu Yu gritted his teeth, "Now all the exits in the room are sealed... Once they are opened, the temperature will be at least... at least Lower the temperature by twenty degrees, but without opening the doors or windows, lighting a fire in this environment is tantamount to... tantamount to courting death."
"Do you think this novice tutorial is too outrageous? If a copy space without enemies is so difficult, how many seconds can we survive if there are opponents?"
"I guess...if it's not to give us a blow, it's because the difficulty of the game is indeed quite high, but...but this is not in line with common sense...at least in terms of environment settings...this kind of environment is problematic for self-protection alone. ...How could anyone go to fight a war?"
After saying this, something suddenly flashed through Qiu Yu's head, but when he tried to grab it with all his strength, he felt dizzy. The last thought that came to him quickly was - it's over.
