Su Mingan woke up on a soft bed.
There was a fragrance of roses in the air. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the ceiling was all pink. When he sat up, he noticed the exquisite bedside table and the bright red roses on it. The curtains were gently drawn, making it difficult to see clearly outside.
...a girl's room.
He lifted the quilt and heard a crisp sound. He looked down and found that his right hand was handcuffed to the head of the bed.
...What operation is this?
He melted it with a flicker of his fingertips. He walked to the door to open it, but found that the door was locked. He walked to the window and opened the curtain, and saw a field of flowers and plants like a back garden. A woman in a black skirt was watering it with a kettle. Flowers and flowers.
"Dong dong dong." He found that the window was also locked and tapped the glass with his finger.
Yu Ruohe looked over, her eyes had never been so serious as now.
"Su Ming'an... I know what you want to ask. This is my house. I bought the house in the main god's space. Only I know about you here." Yu Ruohe walked to the window and faced him through the window. Said: "Before the third world begins, don't wander around. I hope... you will stay here with me temporarily."
"It turns out you bought the house." Su Ming'an indeed found that this place is much better than the personal space environment of his small dwelling: "Although I am very grateful that you let me stay, but you probably can't stop me if I leave..."
Yu Ruohe stared at him.
There was something strange in her eyes that made him feel unfamiliar.
"Your clone is dead. It should not be resurrected for the time being." Yu Ruohe said: "This is the main god space. You told me that death means real death."
"Yep?"
"I planted explosives in your room. As long as I find you showing signs of stepping out of this room, I will detonate the bomb. After you passed out, people quickly conducted a series of experiments. We found that in this update After that, as long as you don't attack directly, you can use various indirect means such as laying traps to hurt people in the main god space." Yu Ruohe looked at him and said: "I don't want to hurt you... so, stay here with me, Don’t go out, and don’t leave until you return to the next world. Just be your number one player in the game world, and then when you return, stay here with me, and I will always take care of you, okay?”
Su Mingan stared at her for a while.
"You want to put me under house arrest?" he asked.
"You just haven't received the right education or met better people before. Just stay here and I will be your friend." Yu Ruohe begged him softly. She twitched the corners of her mouth as if she wanted to show off He smiled warmly, but the forced arc was so obvious: "...Trust me, I will let you understand."
"Have you been a psychiatrist before?" He said, looking at Yu Ruohe's reaction: "...I see, I understand."
She regarded him as a patient in need of psychological counseling.
She thought that by trapping herself here and talking to him every day, she would be able to appease him and guide him back to what she thought was the right path...
He looked at the time displayed on the system panel, and it was about two days before the start of the third world.
Anyway, he has spatial displacement, and he just wants to see the reaction of the World Forum.
... Just stay here for a while. You can leave anytime you want.
"Let's talk later. I'll check out the forum." Su Mingan waved to her.
"...Don't look at it." Yu Ruohe knocked on the glass with his hand: "I beg you...don't look at it."
"I don't." Su Mingan closed the curtain with a snap.
He sat on the bed and opened the World Forum.
[Dear player (Su Mingan), welcome to the World Forum]
[Follow: 0, Fans: 807,630,569 people, Number of posts: 0]
...The number of fans has increased, which is expected.
Su Mingan opened the homepage and saw a whole page of posts about herself.
[Genius or madman? Sanity or madness? 】
[On the significance and thinking of the first player’s behavior]
[The main god space may become the most dangerous place! 】
[Thoughts on the inconsistency of Su Mingan’s theory and suicidal behavior]
[The lighthouse system lasts forever—but will he come back? 】
[Lu Shu/Aini/Noel/Adolf... the players on the top list have collectively signed a petition calling for the Main God Space to be made into a place where no fights can occur, so as to maintain the tranquility and peace of the human habitat]
[On reflection and thinking on the education system of Longguo, the anti-social psychology of eighteen-year-old college students]
[The most fanatical martyr, the glorious future he opened up with his life, Mizushima Kawakora will inevitably be pushed to the throne]
[Track the entire process of Su Ming'an's behavior before and after, and analyze the psychology and ideological changes of the first player]

[Confessions of a spectator who is greedy for life and afraid of death: I was shocked by his behavior, and I decided to participate in the game. I will become an eternal supporter of the lighthouse system]
【……】
The previous posts in the World Forum are all relatively rational thinking posts, but the latter cannot be generalized.
Some people think that his behavior will be deified, and some people think that it is not worth it. Most people do not understand his intentions, but this does not affect their various emotions sweeping the entire forum.
At the same time, Su Mingan also noticed that his private message column was beating crazily. As soon as I opened it, there were 99+ private messages from Lu Shu—after all, I had only added him and Yu Ruohe as friends.
Just when he wanted to see specifically what this guy said, he heard a "bang, bang, bang" sound outside the window in front of him.
"..." Su Mingan opened the curtains again and saw Yu Ruohe, whose face was almost pressed against hers.
The woman's beautiful almond-shaped eyes were full of concentration, as if she wanted to "pull him back to the right path". When she saw him opening the curtain, she immediately lifted her face away from the window, her red lips slightly parted:
"...Don't do this again."
"What kind of thing?"
"...Do you really not understand or do you pretend not to understand?" Yu Ruohe's eyes stared at him: "Suicide in front of everyone... Do you know how much shock this will cause? Do you know that you How many people are standing behind you, and how many people are watching your every move?"
"I know." Su Mingan said, "So? What does this have to do with you locking me up?"
Yu Ruohe tilted her head slightly, her face turned a little red, and a trace of cloud quietly spread along her snow-white neck.
She unnaturally lifted up the broken hair from her ears, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly: "...this mechanism, this change of rules in the Lord God's Space, we will try it out sooner or later, and there is no need for you to think of death. Tell everyone the price. As the number one player, what you should do is defeat Mizushima River in the ring... instead of doing something that surprises everyone... In short, in short..."
She took a deep breath, as if she had gained great courage. When she turned her head and looked at Su Ming'an again, her eyes separated by a layer of glass were full of determination:
"...Promise me to be a qualified leading player, okay?"
"Do you mean?"
"Like your clone..." Yu Ruohe's skin is very white, maybe because he has been sitting in the office for a long time. When the snow-white skin is the base, the blush becomes particularly obvious when it slowly spreads over the snow-white skin. Her hand was pressed against the glass, as if she wanted to touch his face, and she gradually curled up her fingers:
"...A clone is also a possibility of your personality, which means you can become like that, right?" She forced a smile and said: "In private, you can be you. But in the world, everyone can be you." In front of others, be more solemn and gentle, at least don't show your attitude so obviously, okay?"
Yu Ruohe has paid attention to the World Forum.
She found that the audience generally accepted the sudden appearance of the clone well, and said that watching the live broadcast from the clone's perspective in the second world was much better than the previous experience. In terms of attitude, communication with the audience, tolerance and basic respect shown, the clone seems to be more suitable to be a "number one player" than Su Mingan himself.
They even regretted that it was just a clone, and some even suggested that if the two were exchanged, this body would become a clone, or that the live broadcast could simply be fixed from the clone's perspective in the future.
[The clone is much more suitable to be the "number one player" than I am! 】
[Su Ming'an himself is just a little kid who hasn't grown up yet. He has been qualified all day long, but his clone is much more mature than him! 】
[There is no basic tolerance. If you ask me, the "number one player" should have been replaced a long time ago...]
...This is a view that Yu Ruohe has seen at the World Forum.
She didn't agree with their proposal, but it was undeniable that she was a little shaken.
After finally having a rare contact with him, and even being bold enough to bring him home, she thought with some anticipation.
...Can I play a role in helping him become the kind of person that everyone likes to support?
Su Mingan looked at her.
His eyes changed slightly.
"I remember, at the end of the first world," he spoke slowly, with a slight regret: "You once told me that you thought I was just a more powerful student, but now you told me something different from before. Completely different answer, you are trying to persuade me - you also want me to become... forget it."
Yu Ruohe's eyes were a little glazed over.
At this moment she saw his eyes looking over.
Through a thin layer of glass, she could no longer see everything in his eyes despite being so close.
"...I'll try my best." Su Ming'an said.
She felt relieved for a moment, and when a smile appeared on her lips, she was thinking...it was so good.
...There is a feeling of guiding a disobedient child to the right path.
But at the same time, an inexplicable feeling of loss was slowly rising. She quickly shook off this strange feeling of loss and looked at the other party expectantly:
"Well, then you have to remember - don't say weird things casually, have more respect for everyone, and be more tolerant to other players... okay?"
"...If this is an indispensable help." Su Mingan closed the curtains with his hand: "...I will do it."
"Then, then..." Yu Ruohe still wanted to push the envelope a little bit. She also wanted to talk to him. She still had many things she didn't understand and wanted to communicate with him...
But at this moment, when the curtain was about to be closed, she met the other person's eyes.
There was deep fatigue in his eyes, and the bloodshot eyes were broken like glazed ice patterns. When he looked over, his eyes that swayed for a moment still had a suffocating depth.
But Yu Ruohe knew that this heart-shaking, possessive emotion was never for her.
"Yu Ruohe." He said: "The rules of the main god space have changed."
"So, so...?" Yu Ruohe still didn't understand what he meant.
"..." Su Ming paused: "...It's nothing."
With a "swish" sound, the curtains were closed in front of her.
She touched her cheek, and there was a knife-like pain on her face - it was the phantom pain that condensed for a moment when the other person's gaze glanced over her.
But she was still happy in her heart. She felt that she had finally made some contribution to the world, and at least brought back a number one player who had gone off the rails.
He...will become more and more popular in the future.
She thought happily, without bothering the other party who looked very tired, and continued to water the flowers with her own small water bottle.
…
Su Mingan sat on the bed and continued to open the private message bar to read the 99+ messages from Lu Shu.
The first one was when the clone just committed suicide yesterday, and he never replied. But as time passed, the man continued to talk as if talking to himself.
[Lu Shu: Su Mingan, I don’t believe you are dead. 】
[Lu Shu: Your behavior seems great, but it is meaningless. You are more suitable to continue walking than Mizushima River]
[Lu Shu: They kept your body in the First Guild’s headquarters, but I don’t think it was you—it was your clone, right? You have always valued cost-effectiveness, and you would not sacrifice yourself to help others.]
[Lu Shu: Humanity still needs you, the world still needs you, you are a spiritual leader, and you will last forever. 】
[Lu Shu: Su Mingan, believe in yourself, you are the only beacon]
[…] (Omit 99+ private messages)
There was a gap of some time, but the private messages still came one after another.
[Lu Shu: They called for making the main god space the safest place, forming a law enforcement group and a joint group, and imposing sanctions once a private fight occurs to maintain the tranquility of the habitat]
[Lu Shu: But I feel stupid. This kind of behavior will not last long. As the individual strength of the players increases, there will always be things that cannot be controlled.]
[Lu Shu: Mizushima Kawakora withdrew the post that condemned you. She seems to have gone to hard training. I have to say that you have created a terrible player. Maybe your behavior is meaningful]
[Lu Shu: The World Forum has almost praised you as a god. Have you noticed? Sure enough, people believe that death is the most important thing, because in the eyes of everyone you are dead, so everything you did during your lifetime will be deified]
[Lu Shu: I admit that this behavior is very meaningful. You brought people together who would have only condemned and complained. The players were all changed by this scene. They are always good at thinking on the bright side of things before you speak up. 】
[Lu Shu:...]
[Lu Shu:...But why haven’t you shown up yet? 】
[Lu Shu:...But why haven’t you replied to me yet? 】
[Lu Shu: I've been waiting for your reply. Maybe you don't want to ignore me because I once misunderstood you. I'm sorry, but you are a good person. Su Ming'an, I have always read it right. I hope you can live to watch everything]
…
[Lu Shu: Those who hold wages for everyone should not let them freeze to death in the wind and snow; those who clear the way for freedom should not let them be trapped in thorns. 】
…
[Lu Shu: Please don’t keep me waiting too long. 】
The private messages end here, the last one was half an hour ago.
"It seems very successful?" Su Mingan thought like this and lay back on the bed.
He heard the prompt from the system:
[The honor points have been calculated! 】
[Acquire honor (deification): Players regard you as a martyr and deify all your actions - but are you really worth it? 】
[Get 40 honor points. 】
[Achievement Obtained (Game World): Although there are doubts about whether it is a clone, players are willing to believe your drama and plan to organize a funeral for you]
[Earn 40 achievement points]
……etc.
Su Mingan saw a line of text on the system interface.
"funeral??"
He immediately climbed out of bed.
