"Some people think that I am a devil who abducted their children and made them devote themselves to cruel replicas."
"But they are never anyone's appendage. Everyone should have the opportunity to decide their own destiny. Regardless of status or age."
"One by one, because of death and madness, we will not let anyone go just because they are children. The world of the Lord God is becoming more and more chaotic, and suicide attacks occur frequently.
Crazy people are rampant in the square...many children were involved in it because they were defenseless and lost their lives. . "
Noel spoke softly.
It was as if he was expressing his point of view, and also as if he was comforting himself.
Su Ming'an saw that there were many children in the New World Guild. They generally carried weapons on their backs and had resolute expressions. They had shouldered everything at a young age, even though they had not yet established a complete outlook on life.
"We can prevent children from shooting, but we cannot prevent them from holding guns." Su Mingan said.
"Yes, that's right," Noel said.
"I will not blame you for this matter." Su Mingan said: "I will not impose requirements on anyone because of my moral values. People's values and worldview change with the world itself. Today's world is different, and we should not use the previous standards. Kidnap you."
Noel was silent for a while.
After a while, he said:
"You always have this neutral attitude."
"Just think that I am so selfish that I like to keep to myself." Su Mingan said.
"...In the ninth world, who are our three teammates?" Noel suddenly asked.
"Are you still ready to end?" Su Mingan looked at him.
Noel nodded.
"As for teammates... I prefer Lu, Luna and Yamada Machichi." Su Mingan thought for a while.
He did not enter the Peak Alliance. After all, Noel had a foundation in the New World Guild and was not suitable to join an alliance composed entirely of single players.
Apart from himself and Lu Shu, if he had to choose three teammates from the other seven seats, he would first exclude Alger and Eleven, whom he didn't know.
Luna and Yamada Machichi are both acquaintances who have worked together. Luna and he fought side by side in the seventh world. She is reliable and has a temperament as strong and sincere as the female knight. Yamada Machichi is a person who knows how to repay his kindness. He gave up victory in both the Fourth World and the Eighth World to achieve his goals.
Although his personality is a bit depressive, he is clearly a good person.
...Mainly because of Yamada's skill in the eighth world: "If you see a lighthouse, why don't you worship it!" He was really impressed.
As for Lu, Su Ming'an didn't know how to evaluate this brain-popping emperor who almost thought of Su Ming'an as an omniscient god. But Lu is indeed a hexagonal warrior. Not only is his strength at the level of a top player, his emotional intelligence is also high enough to be able to mingle with the audience. His popularity is even higher than that of Lu Shu and others, and his IQ should not be low. In the Silver Star copy, This is evident from the analysis. If you take it with you on the road, it will definitely help with customs clearance.
In this way, Su Ming'an's small team consists of Lu Shu, Nuoer, Lu, Yamada Machichi, and Luna.
As for Isabella and Bei Wang, the scientist Isabella is indeed very popular, but after all, he still doesn’t understand her temperament. Beiwang is the player who has completed all levels perfectly so far, so he definitely cannot enter a parallel dungeon with Su Ming'an.
—Su Mingan’s criteria for choosing teammates, if you look at it this way, it’s actually very simple.
Character.
It’s nothing more than character and moral standards.
He does not lack fighting power, nor does he lack the strength to fight alongside him. What he needs is not sharp knives and swords, but a partner who can support him, a companion who can always stand by his side.
He needs a torch.
Someone like Lu Shu, someone like Yamada Machichi, someone who can be trusted, someone who can give everything to him, someone who can abandon everything to support him,
Such a warm, stable, non-extinguishing torch.
Just like the eighth world, even if we have a partner with a combat power of 2000, can we still defeat the Tentacle God with a combat power of at least 4000?
...It's nothing more than a need for a partner to bring him back from his hallucinations.
As long as he can maintain the stability of his condition, he believes that he can make it to the end.
After talking to Noel about the preparations for the Ninth World, Su Mingan left the New World Guild and headed to White City.
His ruler skill allows him to choose a dungeon that he has successfully cleared before to return to during his break. He currently has the power to return to the first world city, the second world White Sun Floating City, the fifth world Minghui and the seventh world Praia.
As for the third world, Mingxi Middle School, and the sixth world, White Sand Paradise, they ended up with the whole world collapsing, so there was no way to return.
The fourth world, Trilli Town, and the eighth world, Dome, belong to the pinnacle competitive world. For some unknown reason, the world of peak competition cannot return. This is information that has been known before.
So he and Siboer really said goodbye forever.
However, considering the future world game situation, perhaps they may be able to meet again after the skills of those in power are upgraded.
He lowered his head and looked at the back of his hand.
On it are six white patterns of perfect clearance, like a blooming flower.
The fourth world and the eighth world are both peak competitive worlds and are not included in the calculation of perfect clearance, nor do they obtain the so-called "source of the world".
Reminiscent of the shadow as a world game skill, it can replace the dome PC and patrol the dome. There are also those small copies of Silver Star that are generated out of thin air and are not like the small copies of Silver Star that outsiders can build. The Eighth World... seems to combine quite a few factors from the [World Game Organizer].
Perfect passes in the world of peak competition are not counted in the total number of perfect passes. This is a very strange rule.
The original Trili Town also had quite a lot of [World Game] factors, such as the identities of prophet and werewolf, which were obviously not possessed by Trili Town itself.
…They are more like the world itself, a combination with the world game. Rather than a pure, self-growing world.
He put down the back of his hand and saw the city in front of him with its mechanical doors slowly opening.
Nolia stood on the covered bridge, with clearly visible mechanical pieces on her body.
The last time he came here, Su Mingan learned how to use mechanical bombs. Now that the person in power has upgraded to level four, he can learn more.
"Welcome back, hero of Baicheng." Nolia said: "Are you here this time to learn [Type II Stabilizer]?"
Su Mingan once visited Baicheng at the end of the Sixth World. Nolia told him that Baicheng has a mental stabilizer that can physically block chaos and fear, and has a good effect on stabilizing the mental state.
Although it is still not a skill that directly heals the mind, it is in the category of drugs, but it should be more effective than tricyclic antidepressants, paroxetine tablets, etc. After all, Baicheng's technological level is far above that of Zhai Xing's humans.
"The teacher who taught me couldn't be Teacher Snell." Su Mingan's scalp went numb when he thought of the painful learning experience last time and the chemical element formulas that filled the room.
However, the opposite happened.
He managed to see Snell, who was waiting for him with a smile.
The amiable appearance of the professor in the white coat gradually became a little scary in his eyes.
...You have only one teacher, right?
He still remembered the last time he was scolded by Snell, "Why can't you do three three-digit mental arithmetic in five seconds?" It was extremely humiliating.
When walking across the covered bridge, Su Mingan couldn't help but take another look at the giant sculpture in the center of Baicheng.
[Baicheng Hero, Outsider Su Mingan] [Baicheng Calendar Year 9, 358 - New Calendar Year 1, 1st] Under the sculpture, there are several bouquets of chrysanthemums in full bloom.
…It seems that in many dungeon worlds, in people’s minds, he is the kind of character who retires and dies after achieving success.
"Ding dong!"
[You are about to start learning the special skills of the person in power: (Type II mental stabilizer production technology)
Note: You have opened up a special skill grid: Power Holder (current number of grids: 2/2. By advancing as a Power Holder, you can further increase the number of skill grids and acquire additional skills.)
Skill learned: Mechanical explosives production technology. 】【Professor of type II psychostabilizer production technology: Snell (Second Place in Baicheng)
Introduction: After learning this technology, players will master the production skills of (mental stabilizers).
Learning conditions: The site of Baicheng Laboratory, the permission of Baicheng ruler, sufficient resource supply, and the fourth level of power.
Note: This technique can only be mastered by those in power and cannot be taught to others. 】
"Come on." Snell smiled at him: "I will at least teach you how to balance chemical equations."
Su Mingan was infected by his smile and involuntarily took half a step back.
"Huh...huh..."
Yu Ruohe woke up from the nightmare, sat up, and gasped for air.
Cold sweat slid down her forehead and soaked her pajamas.
In the room with no light, her face was immersed in shadows, and all she could hear was the suppressed, animal-like gasping sound. She breathed desperately, sucking in the fresh air, like a drowning person who had just climbed out of the sea.
She put her hand on the bedside table and accurately touched a black pistol. She felt like she had found a treasure. She grasped the handle of the gun and held it tightly in her hand, hugging it in her arms. Doing so seemed to make her feel extremely safe.
The model of the pistol is Remington RP9, which is the model of the pistol she gave to Su Mingan in the first world. Later, she bought an identical one herself.
She stared blankly at the dark pistol in her hand, her body trembling slightly, and her long bangs covering her eyes.
"Forgive me...forgive me...forgive me..."
She repeated the ramble, stroking the pistol as if possessed.
Her pupils moved violently, as if she remembered something she didn't want to recall.
[Ruohe, you are not young anymore, and you want to be involved with such a controversial person. Just tell him his number, exchange some points for our family, and then stay there peacefully until the end of the game, wouldn't you? 】【As long as you say it, we can live a good life at the end of the year. It's not easy for the whole family to live together...】【How about, listen to your mother, respond to the organization's call, and tell the number. 】She touched the surface of the pistol. It was obviously a cold gun body, but it seemed to be very warm in her hand.
She got up and went downstairs. Her father, Lao Yu, was drinking tea and reading the newspaper on the sofa, while her mother was dancing in the square with a group of old ladies who had regained their youth. No matter what world you are in, square dancing seems to be an essential entertainment activity.
"Ruo He, it's almost midnight, why aren't you sleeping?" When his father raised his eyes, he saw Yu Ruo He, who was sweating profusely: "...are you dreaming of an alliance?"
Ever since his daughter handed over the number one player, she seemed to have been in a bad state.
However, he thinks this behavior is correct. People are members of the collective. Su Mingan, a child who has just grown up, is definitely not as important as the elite human joint organization. It is unreasonable to expect him to win all the time. It is better to take advantage of the opportunity of Yu Ruohe and him being good friends. Give the number to the joint group so that their family can live a better life in the future.
But recently, he felt a little regretful.
...The status of the newly grown-up child seems to be getting higher and higher.
It has reached the point where their whole family looks up to the United Group and looks up to that child. As for the failure that he thought would happen sooner or later, Su Mingan never failed, and even crushed all the elites all the way to the end.
If they offend Su Mingan, will their family be retaliated against in the future? Lao Yu is an ordinary middle-aged man who lives in an office building and a vegetable market. Although he has some business acumen, he never imagined that a child could reach his current status.
This world is too strange, too strange.
Why would a child stand at the top of the world? What about the leaders of humanity? What about the big guys? Why is a student rushing to the front?
Lao Yu is a person who blends well with the public and is easily led away by public opinion. He used to like to watch various short video news and talk eloquently online about international relations, foreign trade, stock price fluctuations, etc., although he actually knows nothing. proficient.
He believed some comments on the forum, saying that the first player had ulterior motives and was not an ordinary human being. After all, how could an ordinary human being achieve this? This is too inconsistent!
He looked at his daughter who was breathing rapidly in front of him and said with concern:
"What? What's wrong with you? You've been dreaming about Xinjiang recently. I've told you not to watch those live broadcasts that have mental pollution. Experts on the Internet have said that the scenes in those world copies are abnormal. Even through the screen, we are watching It will also have a mental impact! "
Yu Ruohe didn't speak, just stared at him.
After a moment, she gasped a faint sound.
Like asking for help.
"Dad, I want to see a psychiatrist," she said.
Lao Yu frowned and immediately refused:
"What doctor are you going to see? I know what you want to say. But there is no such thing as depression. It's all money fraud! I think you're doing very well. You'll be fine if you get more rest. Depression is not a disease at all, it's just a bad mood. Okay, it’s a disease of wealth! Just watch some happy short videos and you’ll be fine.”
Yu Ruohe stopped talking again.
She stared at her father who was reading the newspaper and stood motionless for a long time.
The only sound left in the air was her rapid, desperate, animal-like breathing.
