"Whether they are adventure players, sub-professional players, casual players, or even people with special identities such as observers... they are all an essential part of this game.
All of us are in a world that is pushed forward, working hard to build the tower in our hearts, and in this construction process, we are all unique masterpieces in the world and the drama of our own lives. The protagonist - each of our existences has meaning.
This is true whether they are leaders at the forefront, a beacon of hope that can bring everyone, or light chasers who keep moving forward for their beliefs. I never deny the value of any one person, because all of us are full of meaning..."
On the glowing screen, a young man in a white suit is the core of the shot. Under the stable room light, he spreads his hands with a perfect smile, and his words are touching.
He is the center of everyone's attention, as if he was born to stand in the brightest light and speak words that can be heard by everyone.
Su Mingan stared at the dazzling figure on the screen and looked away slightly.
"Huh?" Noel's hand was still stretched out there, with doubts in his eyes like a small animal: "What? What did you just say?"
He took a look outside and saw that the amusement park had completely stopped and all the lights disappeared. At this time, the amusement facilities looked like ferocious beasts sleeping in the darkness.
Except for the street lights beside the road, which were still slightly on, there was nothing special about the other places.
"Let me confirm first." Su Mingan did not pick up what he said before, but confirmed a new topic: "The new world you mentioned means embracing high dimensions?"
"Yes." Noel retracted his eyes from looking out the window: "No matter what our purpose is, no matter where we will eventually go, no matter whether we can maintain our original intention, whether we will be us in the end... In this process, I hope to become With your help, on this road to the ultimate goal, we cannot reject everything else just because we retain some dignity."
"Such as joining the High Dimension?"
"Of course it should." Noel looked at him: "I have studied the history of mankind - in the process of human beings along the way, they have always been good at breaking the old and welcoming the new.
Even if some changes seem too rapid in some eras, almost to the point of tearing apart the world. But after passing through the long river of time, when we look back, those things that seem to bring about extensive destruction... often become the beginning of a new era.
It seems so now. Since you can't resist, it's better to go with the flow. As long as we can turn what we have passively endured into our own, then in the end, we will be the ones who benefit..."
When Noel said this, his eyes were too solemn.
As if the childish innocence and cruelty disappeared in an instant, when Su Ming'an confirmed his eyes, he was also paying attention to the changes in Su Ming'an's expression.
Noel was also placing bets.
He is ranked second in the world, and his life experience should have been revealed, but he has always been known as the most mysterious player. His background is unknown, his relatives are unknown, and no one even knows anything about his past on Zhai Star.
He should have no shortage of companions, but he has always made it through alone. When he was determined to find a long-term teammate, he was also screening.
He had thought about Su Ming'an before. But looking at Su Mingan's performance at that time, he did not look like a qualified "number one player". Su Mingan's philosophy at that time was too sharp, like a sharp sword pointed at everyone, and he wanted to abandon all "worthless things" and treat everyone The differences in people's attitudes are also too obvious, to the point of a "double standard" that everyone knows, so that many people are afraid of such an existence.
Noel felt that the other party couldn't pretend and was immature, so he never communicated with her.
But now, Su Mingan seems to have matured a lot.
In public places such as human self-rescue meetings, avatars can also appear and say things that can soothe people's hearts and will no longer antagonize everyone.
So Noel came to the door.
From the beginning to the end, from deliberately shouting Su Ming'an's name, saying nonsensical invitations, to proposing ideas... During this period, he has been testing in various ways to simulate and confirm the other party's thoughts.
Noel seems to have been building building blocks, one by one, from low to high, gradually introducing the topic to a point where the other party cannot give in, and then wants to know the other party's final thoughts.
Now, it's time to put on the final building block.
Noel's hand rested on the triangular red building block.
His eyes were always steady, as if no matter what Su Mingan said, he would not specifically refute it, but would choose to accept it.
Two people who are currently on top of the world are in a small Ferris wheel grid that no one knows about, confirming each other's ideas.
"Player No. 1, what do you think of my suggestion? Does it meet your needs?"
Noel asked, slowly putting up the red building blocks, his eyes unchanged: "I need your direct answer, tell me, I can help you..."
Su Mingan thought for a moment, looked at him, and nodded.
Noel's hand trembled slightly, and then, rows of blocks collapsed completely as he moved, making a series of crisp collision sounds.
There was a bit of surprise in his eyes, like fireworks exploding, and he didn't even bother to pick up the fallen blocks.
"You agreed?" he asked as if whispering.
"Completely disagree." Su Mingan replied in a low voice.
Noel blinked.
The next moment, Su Mingan suddenly felt a silence, like the depression sweeping by the ocean tide.
There seemed to be an aura of danger slowly rising from the depths.
He sighed.
"The partnership is established," he said.
Noel blinked again.
Su Mingan continued: "I agree with [Embracing Gao Wei], but what I disagree with is the concept you just mentioned."
"Ah...it doesn't matter." Noel suddenly laughed, as if he was very happy: "All I want is for you to promise me. As for what I just said to persuade you...it's not important."
He picked up the fallen blocks one by one and piled them together like a hamster collecting things.
Su Ming'an looked at Noel who seemed very happy, and was thinking in his heart.
He didn't choose to refuse.
From any angle, he should not refuse.
Even if Noel just said something like "abandon human beings and embrace higher dimensions", he couldn't refuse under the eyes of the organizer.
Although he didn’t know what the [evolution opportunity] Noel was talking about was, he needed to agree at this time.
If becoming a high-dimensional player could increase his chances of completing the level perfectly, then he shouldn't refuse. His error tolerance rate is too low, and he cannot give up the opportunity to become stronger because of his pride that "as a human being, we must not bow down to high-dimensional creatures."
This kind of pride is not self-esteem, but stupidity.
Like an egg against a stone, in the game set by the organizer, it is meaningless to insist on confronting the opponent on the surface.
As long as he remembers what his goal is, it doesn't matter what the journey is like. He just wants a result.
And the moment he nodded, he felt his butt suddenly steaming up, giving him a somewhat depressing sense of disobedience.
It was like a big stone suddenly pressed on his chest, and the blood on the back of his hand was hot and red. When he raised his hand to take a closer look, the heat on it gradually subsided.
He stared at the back of his hand, stunned for a moment, and heard Noel's smiling voice across from him:
"Su Mingan, actually I have seen you on Zhai Star, although you may not have seen me."
Su Mingan raised his head.
"I remember the look in your eyes. It was a look that a student shouldn't have... What kind of look was that?" Noel held his chin, as if reminiscing, but also thinking:
"The look in your eyes at that time... was numb, as if you were resigned to your fate.
Empty and dull.
——As if all the blood in the body has been lost, the whole body becomes shriveled. "Noel's smile was as innocent as an angel's, but when his eyelids drooped slightly, compressing and condensing the meaning in his eyes, there was a sense of innocent danger.
"And now, I seem to see you, with eyes and soul shining brightly."
Noel stretched out his hand and placed a box of building blocks in his hand:
"I wrote relevant information about the Sixth World above. You can go back and prepare slowly.
Thank you for your trust in me, beacon of humanity.
Let’s meet again in the next team world. "
…
Su Ming'an walked out of the amusement park, with a rotating space vortex behind him.
He was holding a stack of assembled building blocks in his hand. The building blocks were of different colors with bright red and twisted words on them.
He stared at the stack of blocks sealed in the glass plate, and suddenly felt a little cold on his cheeks.
Looking up, I saw a little catkin-like snow falling all over the sky.
...Month 26th.
He remembered that the Lord God Space did not specifically simulate the weather system, so did anyone spend points to simulate it?
Since the emergence of the architectural virtual scene mechanism, many illusory things can be reproduced.
This is especially true for simulated weather. Many people who grow flowers and grass have also found good news and simulate various weather conditions in their own courtyards.
And now, it seems that someone in this server is simulating a snowy day?
Su Mingan stretched out his hand, and snowflakes fell on his hand, causing a chill.
There are LCD screens hanging in the street next to them, row after row, hanging at the entrance of the store, all playing live broadcasts of human self-rescue meetings.
"...Player No. 1, so your philosophy is to allow everyone to play their value?"
On the screen, a clear female voice came, as if someone was asking a question.
Su Mingan turned his head and saw the leader-like figure bathed in light on the screen that was covered with snow.
"nature."
The number one player in the conference room, facing countless looks, spoke with an extremely sincere tone: "We need to clearly understand that individuals have value. It does not mean that it is useless or has been emptied of its role in the current crisis. Our efforts It's all in vain. We need more players to play and earn points. I personally think that concentrating points on a few individual players is effective, but for insurance, everyone still needs to become their own points safe. …”
"But I remember, Player 1, your previous theory was not like this. You thought that useless people should not end up in the end, but should become an audience, and should learn to watch existences like you..." Someone retorted.
"As time changes and systems change, people's thoughts are always changing." Ming said: "I love those who are willing to look at me, but I appreciate their progress even more.
Everyone is a luminous body, even if it is not the sun, it is a star that can reflect light.
If we don’t want to be displaced forever in an era of constant change and become the subject of public opinion, but if we want to change the script of life and get a glimpse of the light of day, then we have to pursue our own light...
In this era, no one is luckier than anyone else, and no one is more unfortunate than anyone else. "
Su Mingan stared at the screen.
The snow melted on his hands. He lowered his head and saw the cold patch on his palms.
"——Don't run! Don't run! Take my sword!"
On the street, the sound of children suddenly came. Two children with pigtails, wrapped in single clothes, ran past the street. They held dangerous long swords in their hands and stabbed each other.
This thing that originally seemed extremely dangerous on Zhai Star seems ordinary here. People's physiques have been digitized, and the winter will not be particularly cold. Children with added physical fitness points can also run around in single clothes. The rule that does not allow direct attack damage means that there is no danger even if they are fencing each other.
"I caught you, eat my Changhong Sword!"
"Eat my Ice Soul Sword!"
"Hey, I can't hit you!"
The two little cubs greeted each other with swords, and their strength was unambiguous.
There are no adults behind them. I don’t know if the adults were not selected or they were not able to contact each other.
Ever since organizations like the United Group began to be established and mankind began to move from chaos to order, many family-seeking posts have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. The World Forum even has a special section dedicated to posting posts about finding relatives and friends.
Even the elderly who are not very good at using this tool or the children who know nothing can get free help from organizations such as the United Group to help them find their relatives.
In this way, there are not that many children left unattended.
...But there are always those who cannot find their relatives.
Su Ming'an watched the two Saya children running wildly from one end to the other without anyone taking care of them, and wondered if these two children had not found their relatives.
Then, he suddenly heard one of the children shouting.
"——I want to be a lighthouse! I am a lighthouse!"
Another child immediately refused to accept it, dragging the sword that was as tall as half his body and shouted: "No! You are not, I am a lighthouse!"
"I am!"
"You are the light chaser! I am the lighthouse!"
"You don't understand the meaning of a lighthouse at all. You are just a simple light chaser!"
"You don't understand, I understand!"
"What do you know?"
"The purpose of Lighthouse is to cut down everyone and become the strongest——!"
"Light Chasers are all useless! They are useless! As long as I cut you down, I will win!"
"You're not, rebound!"
"I bounce back too!"
"The rebound is invalid!"
"No invalidation allowed! Don't run away——"
…
Su Ming stayed where he was and looked at the two children running further and further away.
The snow water hit him, gradually spreading out large areas of water marks.
