So is this all just a game?
In reality, once the time of the starfish points to 00:00, Zhang Heng will enter a still time. However, the sea breeze is still blowing in his ears, and the coconut trees behind him are swaying. Except for the sound that suddenly appeared not long ago, there is nothing. changes occur.
Zhang Heng had previously tried to play several computer games in a still state.
According to the contact recovery principle, as long as it is not connected to other people, it can run well without exception.
But now is not the time to dwell on such things.
The dawn of victory was just around the corner. Unexpectedly, the difficulty of the game suddenly rose to hell level.
When he realized that he would have to stay on this desert island for 500 days instead of 20 days, Zhang Heng no longer had the strength to smile bitterly.
He sat on the beach, looking at the sea level in the distance, doing nothing until the sun went down. For the first time, he felt that life was really full of malice.
However, the matter has come to this, and there is no point in complaining.
Even if you want to find someone to settle the score, you have to live until 500 days later.
Zhang Heng finally cheered up again before dark. He was not someone who was easily knocked down by difficulties. He followed Ed's teachings and gave up intermittently, venting all his negative emotions and basically regained his composure.
He took the fish and crabs he caught back to the cave and had a feast. Early the next morning, he devoted himself to fighting against nature again.
The fire can bake food, heat water, and keep him warm at night, but at the same time, keeping the fire burning has also become Zhang Heng's responsibility.
He goes out every day not only to collect food and fresh water, but also to find easy-to-burn firewood. Especially soon after it rains, this work becomes extremely difficult.
Zhang Heng has always wanted to collect more firewood and store it in the cave to cope with the rainy weather. But before, all his energy was focused on finding food. Now that Ed is gone, the amount of food he needs every day has also been reduced. Halfway through, I can finally make time to do more things.
In addition to collecting firewood, Zhang Heng also tried to make a few stone axes. Ed was not very good at making tools, so he just roughly told him the principles of making stone axes. Before, Zhang Heng used clam shells with sharp edges to chop trees. But the effect was not very good. He had to cut a small tree for at least two or three hours.
Now he wanted to try the stone tools that have always been highly praised by primitive people, but he didn't know what went wrong. The stone axes he made either flew away when he was cutting trees, or they didn't make two cuts before they started. Split.
Zhang Heng could only comfort himself that failure was the mother of success.
Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Heng heard that familiar voice.
【mission completed……】
【Will return in 480 days...】
Obviously there is nothing wrong with the two sentences, but together they look like a bad joke.
Zhang Heng didn't pay attention to the mysterious voice. He had just finished lunch and wanted to find a few more clam shells to hold water at the beach. The original one had just been burned. He was picking goods in the free market. When he looked up, he accidentally... I saw two small black spots appearing not far away.
Um? ! This plot seems a bit familiar.
More familiar are the two people struggling in the waves.
Isn’t this the adventure guy from option b and the shorts guy from option c?
"…………"
Zhang Heng was speechless, what kind of person is he? He must be too tenacious. He worked so hard on the island to survive, but these two were better off. They were still alive and kicking after drifting at sea for 40 days.
Thinking of the deceased Ed, who had thanked him before his death, saying that at least he could die on land instead of being buried in the belly of a fish like the other two, Zhang Heng felt a little sorry for the former.
If I hadn't "rescued" him, maybe he would be drifting on the sea as well.
This was not Zhang Heng's first day playing the game. He knew that he had encountered a bug in this situation.
The root cause is that his extra 24 hours disrupted the operation of this copy.
Theoretically speaking, the plot after 40 days should not exist at all. The other players have returned to the real world by this time, but he is the only one who is still struggling.
Ordinary games would probably freeze or crash at this time, but this game can continue to run. From this point alone, it can be called a great success.
The bartender lady said that this is the greatest game in human history. Zhang Heng now believes it a little. Since he came to this world, everything in front of him has been extremely real, whether it is the plants or animals on the island, they are consistent with reality. The world was exactly the same, and the Ed who had come into contact with him was no different from a real person.
But now this impeccable world finally shows a flaw.
"Because there is no more plot behind it, so we have to repeat it again?"
However, unlike the mechanical cycle, Ed, who had been buried in the woods by his own hands, did not appear again, which showed that the basic logic was still running.
Zhang Heng took off his clothes as quickly as possible. Of course he would not miss this opportunity to give benefits.
Compared with the frail man he was just after arriving on the island 40 days ago, he can now eat enough and do some exercise after work.
His physical fitness has almost returned to its peak state.
Zhang Heng visually measured the distance between the two of them and himself, and this time he decided to choose the guy in shorts who was farthest away, because according to the consistent thinking of game designers, the more you pay, the richer the rewards you will get.
Now that he has basically got rid of food problems with Ed's help, he wants to know what changes the shorts boy saved this time can bring to his life.
…………
Ten days later, Zhang Heng looked at the brick kiln and tile-roofed house in front of him and decisively offered his knee.
It turns out that there are really people in this world who can build a house with their bare hands! Zhang Heng followed the shorts guy all the way, watching the latter start from finding clay, then building beams, building kilns and firing bricks, and finally built a half-meter-high tile-roofed house model. In addition, the shorts guy also gave Zhang Heng Heng demonstrated how to properly make stone axes, build wooden sheds, make pottery, make shrimp pots, sandals, weave cloth from bark fiber and make bows and arrows and slings.
This time there is no need to worry about food, Zhang Heng can spend all his time studying like crazy.
Unfortunately, the guy in shorts didn't say a word from beginning to end. He just followed Zhang Heng's request and silently demonstrated various tools and house building techniques to him.
Then on the nineteenth day, he died in the woods because of accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms.
Drama... plot killing?
Zhang Heng finally understood that this game must let you spend the second half of your time on the island alone. Therefore, neither Ed, who was originally injured, nor the shorts guy who had no problems afterward could survive to the 20th place. sky.
With his previous experience, Zhang Heng dug a hole next to the previous grave and buried the boy in shorts.
Unlike Ed, the boy in shorts didn't speak during the whole journey. Zhang Heng didn't have a deep relationship with him, and he wouldn't be so sad anymore after knowing that it was all just a game.
But in the end, Zhang Heng finally placed the other's body properly after the teacher-student fight.
After that, he began to try to digest what the guy in shorts had taught him in these nineteen days. During this period, the remaining explorer came twice more, but Zhang Heng did not "rescue" him.
Anyway, if you leave it alone, he will come over next time.
If saved, he would only have nineteen days left to live.
On the 130th day after arriving on the deserted island, Zhang Heng's ear sounded again.
