He Yuan woke up from the soft bed in the small room and looked at the system time.
November 26, 4:40 pm.
She rubbed her eyes and entered the short relaxation time after getting up.
As a casual player who had long decided not to quit, she was not as confused as most people. After the Super Chat section of the World Forum was launched, she successfully united with people from the previous group and secured a small bar owner position for her. This position usually provides her with some points, which is enough to allow her to enjoy a luxurious life that is far beyond her reach on Zhai Star.
She used to be just a salesman, living a life of running errands all day long. Only Weibo after get off work could make her feel the joy of life - even if people said it was a garbage dump, as an old star chaser, she has the power of a queen. Of confidence, she is also the king of the junkyard.
She likes a star on Zhai Xing like crazy, runs Weibo for him, and regards him as her star.
She feels that idol is perfect in every aspect, almost omnipotent, coming and going with light, and is beyond her reach from head to toe. He should be shining brightly, he should stand on the highest stage and show his brilliance, and she should just be responsible for watching.
...But in the first world, she was infected by zombies and died. After hearing that idol appeared in other people's live broadcast room, she rushed there quickly.
Then, she saw an unkempt man in an extremely humble situation.
The idol she once held in her heart, the person who was regarded as the glory of life, is begging and pleading to other strong people with his head covered with dirt.
Just for a bite of food, he was pushed into the dark house of the plundering gang.
People who could only look up to him in the past seemed to have suddenly grasped the opportunity to make a comeback and tried their best to humiliate her idol.
And her idol lives like a dog.
In order to survive, the idol in her heart completely fell into the mud, and there was no longer any brilliance in her body.
The love in He Yuan's heart faded.
Later, she learned about many well-known figures on Zhai Star. Some of them are thriving, while others are completely targeted by some people and are struggling to survive in a world like the end of the world. Some were bitten by zombies and became infected with pus all over their bodies. Their delicate and beautiful faces were completely covered by blood... And the ugly human nature that was no longer covered up in the apocalypse and was completely revealed made people completely dislike it. stand up.
At that time, she finally understood that the rules of the world had been completely changed.
The people people like and look up to are always changing. The standards that were admirable before now seem to be completely worthless.
People who are proficient in singing and dancing skills are powerless to resist when a crisis comes. Great scholars whose minds are like national treasures cannot find a research institute suitable for them to play their role. Even for wealthy businessmen with huge fortunes, in such a world, money would not be a powerful weapon for them.
On the contrary, some people who usually love adventure, or some fitness coaches and martial arts champions have become the forefront of the world trend.
Some people have lost their minds and were deceived by the empty promises they promised. They think that after the game is over, the original order will continue to operate, and there will be places similar to the control department for superpowers. Everyone will continue to be harmonious and beautiful. live.
They believe that Zhai Xing will be like millions more people with superpowers after the game is over, and everything else will continue to be the same.
For example, there are many elderly people who have returned to their prime. Some of them are still illiterate, and some of them find it difficult to accept all this. Even with the simultaneous broadcast of the World Forum, they are not interested in it and just want to find a place to play chess and drink tea.
Many elderly care services have emerged.
He Yuan has long known that being selected into the World Game may be an extremely lucky thing. Human beings are very adaptable animals - although at first, everyone thought it was unfortunate. They were as helpless as the selected toys. I don’t know where the road ahead is, and I don’t know if there is a future for mankind.
But as time went by, people's ideas began to change in the completely opposite direction.
They think this is an opportunity.
Although this opportunity came suddenly, mankind was forced to move forward.
But in such a world, people do gain a lot.
After He Yuan learned about the tragic situation of her former idol, she completely let go of her love.
As an old star chaser, she has also found a new one that can give her all her goals. And compared to those she liked before, this goal seemed more stable and powerful. Moreover, it has almost overwhelming dominance as a topic in world forums. Any post that has anything to do with him will instantly trigger heated discussions among a large number of people.
...He Yuan is the owner of the No. 1 player's super talk bar.
When she learned that the first player wanted to watch the super episode, her heart felt like it was about to burst out of her chest.
She doesn't actually like the first player as "in love". In fact, she doesn't even know his background, specific personality, hobbies... such extremely superficial things.
She just purely likes bright and powerful people, likes to see a person alive in the eyes of everyone, likes to see that person win everything with overwhelming power, and likes the sense of security that "he will definitely win."
First world, second world, third world...
Gradually, people have long recognized the idea that "he will not fail."
Even though many people are making malicious speculations, saying that he is just a single player, and he was an immature student before, and he will definitely fall down on the road if he encounters some confusing copy. The previous dungeons were all smooth sailing, following the strategy route, and I was very lucky.
But it doesn’t matter where the source is.
She doesn't care about the lighthouse theory or what Su Mingan thinks. In her eyes, there is only the "number one player".
Because the "number one player" happens to be Su Mingan, she likes him. It's that simple.
It is human nature to be strong-willed, and it is even more so now.
After staying up late yesterday to announce the relevant regulations of the recent "state of emergency", she had a good sleep. Now after waking up, she immediately opened the World Forum.
...After the fifth world ended and all adventure players returned, discussions about the progress bar of points for all humans began to break out.
Among them, the most common topic is the World Forum. Discussions on this topic have almost covered the entire home page.
As soon as she entered, she first saw an official post from the United Regiment:
[The top 100 players in the world are sincerely invited to participate in the "Self-Saving Conference Discussion on the Future of Humanity". 】
[Time: 20:00 pm on November 26th]
[Location: Server coordinates of District 12]
...a meeting discussion among the top 100 players?
Big deal.
He Yuan clicked in and saw the outline of the meeting.
[The "All Humanity Points and Combat Power Progress Bar" mechanism has been fully released. The weight proportion of players at the top of the list and the positioning of subsequent adventures and audience players need to be clearly redefined. 】
[We sincerely invite the top 100 players in the world rankings to go to the 12th district server for a meeting with the screenshots of the rankings. 】
[This meeting will be broadcast live in its entirety, and all players can speak freely. The future of mankind requires all of us to communicate and build it together. 】
[This meeting has been engraved with explosion-proof gemstones, and the space barrier has been repaired and reinforced. All personnel entering the service must undergo identity testing, and the credibility of the joint group is guaranteed to ensure that there will be no unexpected incidents. 】
[Participating organizations: Guwu Family Alliance, Glen Victoria Branch, Yuguo Storm Branch, Alliance Watch Group, Dragon Kingdom Ten Thousand Miles Troops, Dragon Kingdom Yangtze River System, Eagle Kingdom Countermeasure System, World Tree Guild...]
[Participants: Alger, Edward, Aiden, Andre, Adolf, Sora Mizushima, Wilson, Liu Jiahe, Jin Minhao, Flora, Alauddin, Gretel...]
【service personnel:……】
He Yuan stared hard at the list.
The mixed names of various foreigners and people from the Dragon Kingdom were so densely packed that they almost filled up this circle. She tried hard to scan the entire area, but she didn't see Su Ming'an's name.
After reading the list, she scrolled down and saw an additional line of text:
[We cordially invite the world’s number one Su Ming’an and the world’s number two Noel to attend the meeting. Guaranteed by the credibility of the joint group, the two have the greatest say and can participate in discussions on any topic at any time. 】
He Yuan continued to scroll down and saw the replies that were constantly refreshing.
People seemed to be very interested in this gathering of elites, and discussions started one after another:
【look! What did I refresh? Is this a meeting of the top 100 players on the live broadcast list? ? 】
【OK! ! The humans finally gathered. Before, everyone was like an isolated island. How nice it would be if everyone could sit together and chat! 】
[When this progress bar mechanism came out, I knew there would be a lot of problems, and this kind of public meeting was perfect. 】
[...No, no, does anyone really believe in this kind of chat-like meeting? Nowadays, the players at the top of the list are as proud as heroes who save the world. Who cares about them? 】
[Looking at the list of attendees, there are indeed many big names attending the meeting, so Zhai Xing’s power still has some weight. 】
[As soon as I saw it, I knew that Su Ming'an must not be among the people attending the meeting. Don't ask me how I knew it, I just knew it. 】
[In front of you, I know how you know that the first player went directly to the party. That’s called a Bashi. I still have a link here...]
He Yuan was instantly attracted by this line of comments.
……reunion? What party?
Will Su Mingan also attend the party? What kind of party would it be? A pinnacle party for the top ten players?
He Yuan immediately clicked in and saw a video.
The theme highlighted in red is extremely obvious:
【shock! I actually saw the number one player at a gathering of ordinary casual players——]
A video is attached below.
The content of the video seems a bit blurry, and the person taking the video seems to be shaking, causing the recording angle to be unstable, as if it was secretly filmed.
In the middle of the video, there is a dimly lit room that looks like a large KTV box or a bar booth.
The colorful lights go from the left end of the camera, around the special beams, to the other end of the camera, shining like sparks of light.
Various kinds of exquisite snacks and cakes were placed on the bar nearby. The aroma seemed to be transmitted through the screen. The glass wine glasses on the bar were shaking with a golden color, and everything seemed to be sparkling.
Under the colorful lights, a group of people seemed to be drinking together, drinking like a piece of mud. Bottles of wine that He Yuan could not name were scattered on the table, and the silver-white and golden liquid overflowed everywhere.
There was a lot of entertainment and liveliness.
And in the middle, sat a figure mingling with others.
He was wearing a long black trench coat, half of his face was hidden in the shadows, and there was a softness in his eyes that was hidden by the light. The liquid in the red wine glass in his hand was like thick blood.
He seems to be able to adapt to the environment here very well. Although the wine in his hand is not touched, when others talk to him, he can always respond with a smile, and a burst of good-natured laughter will randomly burst out around him, like Everyone was attracted and moved by his words.
And just as the camera gradually focused on him, he raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of dark eyes filled with room light under the overhead lights.
In his other hand, the long cigarette rod tilted downwards, and the smoke floated up, covering his trembling eyelashes, and quickly disappeared with the exhaust system blessed by the system.
Above the dim smoke, he seemed to be looking at the lights through the lens. His eyes, which seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, reflected a piece of light and shadow, making people unable to look away for a moment.
He Yuan covered her mouth. She instantly recognized this person who was smoking and drinking at a casual gathering, acting extremely leisurely and like a social butterfly.
The video had ended here. She endured strong curiosity and looked down, seeing a series of comments with exclamation marks:
【God! 】
[Oh my god, which service area is this social gathering? He doesn't look very high-end. How did you manage to pull him over? 】
[I didn’t expect... I really didn’t expect... I thought he was already powerful enough, but I didn’t expect that he could handle this kind of situation with ease. People with social anxiety would suffocate just looking at him. 】
【Where is this! this! yes! where! I'm going! I want to go——]
[Look at the background. It looks like a private bar. Do you know anyone in it? Position yourself quickly! 】
[No way... He can really perform to this extent, why do I feel that nothing is right no matter how I look at it...]
[It is reasonable to suspect that there is some conspiracy in this party, otherwise I don’t believe that this person who can’t even sleep well would have the intention to go to such a place. 】
…
"The top 100 players on the list are going to have a meeting." Lu Shu sat in the booth and said, "About the future of mankind."
Facing the scene of flashing lights and dancing girls in the bar in front of him, he felt uncomfortable all over and wished he could just crawl into the gap in the sofa.
Since Xiao Bi was resting on his shoulder, and his whole person gave off an aura of keeping strangers away, everyone else took a detour.
Lu Shu turned his head and looked at Su Ming'an, who was sitting next to him and was still chatting about college jokes, making others laugh, and said, "Have you had enough?"
The expression of the young man who was swaying the wine glass did not change, and he looked over with a smile in his eyes.
"...I haven't had enough fun." Ming lit the cigarette rod in his hand: "There are no new orders for the main body, so just let me play. He is also in the amusement park anyway."
"Are we going to a meeting? This meeting seems very formal. I saw the names of many familiar people."
"..." Ming paused for a moment: "Wait a moment, I'm asking about the meaning of the body."
