Returning to the character interface again, Qiu Yu clicked on the mall and entered "tent" in the search bar.
Based on the previous death experiences, the most important prop of this game is already ready to be revealed, and that is...
"Buildings! Enclosed shelters! Shelters from wind and rain! Is this the most necessary thing for the game?"
Li Cheng's exclamation sounded again behind Qiu Yu.
Qiu Yu was shocked. Li Cheng is a little clever at best, but if he can think of this just by seeing the word "tent", he definitely doesn't believe it.
that's the truth.
Li Cheng put the phone in front of Qiu Yu, "Look, the government has actually made an announcement about this game, and also released a game guide. Let me just say, such a magical game must have a national background... ..."
Qiu Yu took the phone, swiped it a few times and read the thousand-word announcement with the spread of perception. Then, this time he was really shocked.
Although there are so-called game prompts every time you enter the game, those riddle-like prompts can at best provide a direction for verification. It takes time to verify, and it takes time to formulate the verification conclusions into words. Are you sure you want to put these words into words? It also takes time to make it public.
So let’s not talk about the other contents of this announcement. Just taking the fact that the only necessary item in the game is a “house”, Qiu Yu himself just made it a few minutes ago, relying on inferences from countless information and repeated trial and error. Enter the verification stage. Next, you need to buy a tent and play a few games in order to form a more credible conclusion.
The government's announcement actually made the conclusion public to the world. This meant that they were at least half an hour to two hours ahead of Qiu Yu.
But although government is an overall concept, this whole is also composed of countless individuals. In other words, the necessary object is the "house" and it is discovered by someone in it.
This is not simple. The person discovered must either have a high position or have unreasonable methods, otherwise it would be impossible for the government to make this conclusion public in such a short period of time.
The probability of the former is not high. After all, it is unlikely that people in high positions would stay up late at night playing games. As for the unreasonable means... Even Qiu Yu himself couldn't make the government unconditionally trust him in just a few hours. He doesn't believe that there are other "ordinary people" who can do better than him.
"Where is this announcement posted?"
Qiu Yu clicked on his phone and asked casually while doing it himself. Unexpectedly, Li Cheng actually gave a useful reply.
"It is available on all game download pages. Keyword tracking may have been done. Everywhere where this game is discussed, there are pop-ups or strong advertisements."
Qiu Yu handed back the phone, "The guide issued by the government is very useful, just follow it."
Li Cheng took the phone, clicked it twice, and handed it to Qiu Yu, "Look at this again. Some people claim that they have died more than twenty times, and then enter the game and enter the immersive VR mode. , do you think it’s true or false?”
Even though he could use his perception to spread his eyes to a thousand lines, Qiu Yu still watched each word with his eyes.
This is a piece of text posted on the forum. The person who posted the message seemed to be in a very excited mood, and his words were a bit confusing. There were just over a hundred words, and most of them were curses, as if he was afraid that others would not believe him. Li Cheng's words basically covered all the contents.
"It's true. To be precise, he should have died twenty-four times."
Li Cheng said happily, "Is it really true? I also want to play VR. Is there any danger?"
The people who are most receptive to exaggerated things should be Internet-addicted teenagers like Li Cheng. But those who not only accept it, but also can’t wait to dive in, are probably quite rare.
After confirming that he was not just joking, Qiu Yu said seriously, "If you die twelve more times in VR mode, it will probably be a real person entering the game. If you don't accumulate these thirty-six lives in vain, then what will happen to you?" Suicide makes no difference."
Just then, the phone rang, and the government announcement was updated.
There isn't much in the update, it just briefly mentions that after the twenty-four normal games are completed, there will be twelve VR games.
"It's amazing, it's amazing, I can actually guess it right. But there's no mention here of what will happen after dying in VR mode twelve times!"
As soon as Li Cheng finished speaking, the update voice sounded again. The content of this update is shorter, with only one sentence - after dying twelve times in VR mode, your current life is your last life.
"Well..." Li Cheng fell into thinking.
Qiu Yu became more and more frightened.
Intelligence asymmetry is the basis for maintaining stability. Just like a world war is about to break out, if ordinary people are unaware of it, then the entire country can allocate resources and make strategic deployments in a stable environment. On the contrary, if the war becomes known to everyone, prices will skyrocket, public security will be chaotic, and scheduling will become rigid.
Now that the government has taken the initiative to release information that people will die if they play games, it is simply unimaginable what impact it will have on the world. The nature of the incident instantly changed from "the government used black technology to make a game" to "alien invasion of the earth." The former can steadily guide people to play the game and slowly accumulate strength, while the latter will only make everyone resist the game.
But resisting, will it be useful not to play this game? A war has begun that will destroy the country and destroy the entire species. You can still resist by taking up weapons. If you are not even willing to take weapons, then you are literally waiting to die.
What Qiu Yu couldn't understand even more was that the two updated information took less than a minute before and after. It's like it was just a message originally, but the person who updated the message was too anxious and didn't even want to wait to type dozens of words, so he split the message into two.
"Something weird. Someone has posted a new message on the forum."
People with weird thinking like Li Cheng can feel weird. Qiu Yu can completely imagine how chaotic the world is now.
Li Cheng directly read the news that made him feel numb, "I died twelve times in VR mode. After entering again, I unlocked a new game prompt. It said that you can make sacrifices and obtain the laws of nature." Ability. The more valuable the thing you sacrifice, the stronger the ability you get. I sacrificed a bunch of things but nothing worked, and finally I sacrificed my appendix, and now I can kill a cow with one punch. Will upload a video later."
Li Cheng subconsciously clicked refresh, but the post had been deleted. When he clicked on the person who posted it, his account was blocked.
"Boss, what do you think?" Although he was still trying his best to maintain his consistent style, Li Cheng's forehead was already sweating.
Qiu Yu sneered, "So that's it. The confrontation between two civilizations is really straightforward."
"What?"
"Let me tell you what will happen next." Qiu Yu described the terrifying scene in a calm tone while browsing various tents.
"It won't take long before the information about the sacrifice will be rapidly advanced."
Li Cheng refreshed his phone, and sure enough, a title with the content of sacrifice appeared.
"They will claim that it's not just organs that can be sacrificed. Dispensable things like hair and nails can also be sacrificed."
Li Cheng clicked in. The content of the post was that the poster claimed to have sacrificed his hair. Although the power gained was not too strong, he actually gained superpowers.
"Then, some people will say that he sacrificed his parents, spouse, or children, and then gained unimaginable power. And this time it was not just text, but also videos uploaded at the same time."
Li Cheng's heart twitched, he quickly quit and clicked on another post. There is a video screen directly inside. The person in the video had a twisted smile on his face, and his red eyes were full of madness. He told the story in a trembling voice that he originally just told the game that he wanted to sacrifice his wife as a joke, but in the end, his wife really disappeared from his side. He should have been in pain, but he couldn't feel any pain at all, because... the words ended here, and he used actions to show the reason why he was not in pain - the camera turned, and he was actually suspended in the air. It was hundreds of meters in the air, and even the tallest buildings in the city could not touch the soles of his feet. Then, a swoop, with newcomers on the road screaming for cover.
"The following is an update from the government."
Li Cheng glanced at his wife and closed the screen with trembling fingers. Just then the sound of a government announcement rang, and he was so shocked that he almost threw his phone to the ground.
"The updated content should be that when there is only one life left that belongs to you, you can obtain law-like abilities by sacrificing something important to you. Initially, giving and gaining are equivalent. The more important the thing you give, the more you gain. The stronger the power. But it can gradually grow by killing monsters in the game. Therefore, instead of sacrificing the most important thing to you to gain temporary strength, it is better to sacrifice something less important to retain your complete self, otherwise you may fall into Endless regret."
Li Cheng read the update content that was almost identical to what Qiu Yu said with a ghostly look.
"Next step... someone will send a message saying that the first person to make the sacrifice will receive full power, and the rewards for those who follow will gradually decrease."
Li Cheng gritted his teeth and clicked on a new post. The general content is that after someone made a sacrifice, he found that the character page had changed. There was a number on it with a law-like ability of 100 and a remaining amount of more than 9 million. The poster's own interpretation is that the first 10 million people who sacrifice will receive 100% of the corresponding value of power. After the quota is reached, the power obtained by sacrifice will decrease.
After a few minutes, seeing that Qiu Yu still didn't speak, Li Cheng took the initiative and asked, "What's next?"
"What's next?" Qiu Yu shook his head, "As far as we can see, this confrontation has ended. Ha, it's like a child who doesn't even understand the rules yet, and can calculate all the chess moves in the moment of the battle. The supercomputer is completely defeated."
"What do you mean?" Li Cheng didn't want to know at all, but for some reason, he still asked subconsciously.
"Based on the current information, it's order versus chaos. The order side has given humans the power of rules in the form of games, so that humans, the cannon fodder, can fight against chaos. Although the chaos side cannot directly break the rules of the order side, it can After countless confrontations, they naturally know how to exploit loopholes in the rules. As long as the same news is released at different times or scenarios, the benefits and disadvantages will transform into each other. In addition, the Chaos side can also formulate some benefits that are beneficial to One's own rules. So everything seems to be a fair confrontation with each side accounting for 50%. But the favorable rules plus the advantage of the timing of releasing the rules...the balance of power is about 90% to 10%. .”
It seemed a little disappointing, but Qiu Yu's words did not end there.
"Of course, when I say 90 to 10 percent, I mean that the human brain has completely understood the rules. Now the government is still squeezing toothpaste and releasing it bit by bit, which shows that they have mastered the rules continuously. Not even the tip of the iceberg. Therefore, the optimistic estimate of the balance of power is ninety-nine percent to one percent."
"This is just a comparison of information power, plus..." Qiu Yu did not continue, but directly gave a conclusion, "There is no possibility of victory. The meaning of this war is only It’s about the length of time.”
