Most of the time, time is almost absolutely fair.
While Qiu Yu was playing his own game independently, the steady flow of time was also driving the actions of others.
In an ocean that seemed to have no end, a being named Qian Xiao was anxiously spinning in circles on a ten by ten stone platform with a total area of just one hundred square meters.
If it were other times, he might have studied how the gravel mixed with soil under his feet floated on the sea. But in this almost desperate situation, besides venting his physical strength, he really didn't know how else he could struggle.
A few hours ago, when the supervisor was explaining the rules of the next game, an abnormality suddenly occurred. Not only did it suddenly disappear, but Qiu Yu also disappeared with it.
Even without Li Ningfeng's unreasonable and terrifying intuition, Qian Xiao knew that the earth's civilization was in trouble again.
As for what kind of trouble there was... he didn't need to think about it. Almost at the same time that the supervisor and Qiu Yu disappeared, some kind of mechanized program replaced the disappeared supervisor, continued to explain the rules of the game, and made it clear that the game continued as usual.
So, here's a small part of the trouble, playing the next game without Akiha.
In Qian Xiao's eyes, Qiu Yu's absence is a very serious problem, but compared with the subsequent problems, it can only be regarded as a small part of the entire trouble.
The other half of the trouble is composed of Li Ningfeng, Sima Tianzhi and Ordoño. As for the reason, it lies in the rules of the game.
In the new game, the people of the earth's civilization are divided into four groups, and they are thrown into four scenes: forests, plains, mountains, and oceans. People in the four scenes must work together to win.
The forest has nearly unlimited biological resources. People here are responsible for not being killed by various strange, powerful, or weird creatures, while standing firm, capturing the creatures here, and transporting them to several other scenes. Human beings are the main force in the battle.
There are almost no resources here in the plain, but there are "seeds" compressed and preserved by various civilizations. They are a few centimeters in size. They do look like seeds in appearance, but they can be restored as long as they are activated with energy from the ocean. for the original item. The task of the people on the plains is to explore, collect these generator seeds, weapon seeds, food seeds, and even building seeds, and then send them to the other three urgently needed scenes. Of course, in plain areas, it doesn't mean that you just have to bury your head in search of things. There are very few enemies, but once you encounter them, they are BOSS level.
The ocean has no place to stand except for the limited platform under your feet. And unlike the ordinary ocean, only energy-based creatures survive here. These creatures will spontaneously attack the platform and everything on it, so for the players on the platform, it is an endless defensive battle. The energy creatures eliminated during defense will become an almost universal energy source. It is also the universal “currency” for capturing, activating, transmitting, etc.
In the mountains, various civilizations are mixed and crowded. Hide and arm yourself with the resources obtained in the other three scenes, destroy all enemies and survive to the end. Players in the mountains can use energy from the ocean to excavate the mountainside in cubic meters to build a safe hiding place. At the same time, the excavated stones and metals can also be used to expand the platform, as well as in the other two scenes. Necessary resources to build defense.
Under the above rules, viewed separately, the forest is playing hunting and nurturing games. Plains is a role playing and horror game. Ocean is a tower defense and battle game to play. Mountain is a construction and survival game to play. But taken together, it’s a strategy game. As long as one person is in charge of overall planning and others can work together, victory can be easily achieved.
In Qian Xiao's heart, the ideal situation is that Qiu Yu only needs to go to the mountains to hide and issue orders, and all the game participants of the earth's civilization will act according to the orders, and this game can almost be won.
Even if Qiu Yu is gone, Qian Xiao still has a certain degree of confidence in his commanding ability. Although the process may be a little harder, the chance of winning is quite high.
However, things are not that simple.
According to the basic rules of the game, there can only be four players on the initial stage, and the admission of other players needs to be exchanged for the energy obtained from the ocean.
As for the four people who appeared, they were the four people who contributed the most in the last game that just ended.
After excluding Qiu Yu, these four people are Qian Xiao, Li Ningfeng, Sima Tianzhi and Ordoño.
Sima Tianzhi, since this game was brought about by his running around, he is definitely there.
Li Ningfeng was quite active.
As for Ordoño... God knows what he did to end up in front of Kyuubi.
Because Sima Tianzhi had already arrived in the forest, the scene he was assigned was naturally the forest, Li Ningfeng was assigned the mountains, Odonio was the plains, and Qian Xiao was the ocean.
Before the game officially started, the four people were transported to a void space to meet, which was regarded as a pre-war preparation meeting for the earth's civilization.
Qian Xiao took the command right for granted, but when he turned his attention to the three people in front of him, he suddenly realized a fact that made him collapse - none of the three people in front of him seemed to be easy to command.
"It seems that there is something wrong with the supervisor, and I don't know how much time we have to communicate now, so I will try to keep it short. According to the current information, the forest is the top priority of this game, and I need the full cooperation of all three of you. I will focus all resources on the forest first. After I successfully conquer the forest scene, I will help you easily win games in other scenes. Before that, as long as you don’t lose too quickly..."
This was Sima Tianzhi's speech. He was as self-centered as ever, and for this reason, he ignored the game instructions and elevated the forest he was in to the core position that determines the success or failure of the game.
"hehe."
Ordoño's sneer fully expressed his attitude.
"Speaking of which, am I engaged in excavation? It feels very interesting. How about I go dig a super luxurious underground palace?"
To others, Li Ningfeng's words might have thought that he was trying to liven up the atmosphere. But for Qian Xiao who came to understand him, he was 100% sure that Li Ningfeng was truthfully expressing what he would do next.
"Listen to me, the current situation is very serious. We are shouldering the future of the entire human race. No matter what your plans are..."
Qian Xiaoxiao, out of righteousness, planned to rescue the three people again, but it had no effect at all.
Ordoño kept his standard sarcastic face and would only respond with a sneer no matter what anyone said.
Li Ningfeng had a slight smile on his face. No matter what anyone said, he listened quietly, but he didn't listen to a word.
At the moment when Qiu Yu was away, Sima Tianzhi seemed to have regained his mysterious confidence. He didn't care at all about other people's attitudes, and didn't consider the possibility of others disobeying him. He just arranged his weird strategies on his own.
It wasn't until the meeting ended and the four of them were thrown into their respective game scenes that Qian Xiao suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a small mistake - since no one was willing to cooperate with him, could he cooperate with Sima Tianzhi? No matter how unreliable Sima Tianzhi is, it is much better to have two people working together than four people working alone.
But what is Sima Tianzhi’s plan? I don’t seem to have listened at all…
Click——
The slight sound coming from his feet brought Qian Xiao's mind back to reality.
Qian Xiao, who was standing on the edge of the platform, lowered his head and saw a blue translucent strange fish struggling to bite the gravel that made up the platform.
Kick out.
Because it was a subconscious action, he didn't use much strength, but he still kicked the scary-looking strange fish into a puff of flying blue light.
At the same time, a screen showing the number "1" appeared in the center of the platform.
"Does this gain some energy? The initial difficulty is within a reasonable range, and it should be able to develop gradually and stably."
Qian Xiao had just gained a correct understanding of the game, but in an instant, he was pulled into a trap by the news from his teammates that popped up in front of him.
——Urgent message, mountainous areas are in crisis, requesting a lot of energy.
The resources in this game are not randomly sent to each other, but demand messages can be sent between regions. For example, "mountains need a little energy", "plains need a little food", "oceans need basic weapons" and so on.
The game had only started for a few minutes when Li Ningfeng came up with a piece of news that was both urgent and massive, leaving Qian Xiao at a loss. It was completely impossible to tell whether Li Ningfeng was just unlucky or the mountainous terrain was much more difficult than here. Or maybe Li Ningfeng is out of his mind and posting random messages.
"asshole."
A few seconds later, Qian Xiao cursed, turned his arm into a big net, stretched it into the water and started fishing for fish.
Doing so is likely to induce additional risks, but since Li Ningfeng made the request, Qian Xiao could only consider the worst case scenario. A large amount of energy must be sent to Li Ningfeng as soon as possible to deal with the crisis.
——Urgent message, the plain area is in crisis, requesting a lot of energy.
The second piece of news that appeared in his mind made Qian Xiao's heart tense, and then slowly relaxed.
It's okay to be in a desperate situation at the beginning of one scene, but it would be unreasonable if it happened in two scenes. After all, this is a fair duel between civilizations, not a killing game. Therefore, there is only one possibility for two consecutive emergency messages to appear - the message was sent by two idiots.
——Urgent message, the forest area is in crisis, requesting a lot of energy.
The sudden appearance of the third message made Qian Xiao's breathing stop after he had just relaxed.
Sima Tianzhi, a man as proud as a god. For him, it was always about issuing orders and giving instructions. ask? Do these two words exist in his dictionary?
But this Sima Tianzhi actually used requests instead of needs... There was only one situation that could make him let go of his pride. That is... what is placed on the other side of the scale of pride is... failure...
