The voice of Jiang Qiu, vice president of the Nanhai Branch of the Martial Arts Association, came over the radio.
"As far as I know, game officials will ask participants to sign an agreement when they register for the game and enter the game, and clearly inform them that entering the game will cause injury, disability, and life danger. The game official cannot provide any guarantee for the personal safety of the players. 100% protection. If an accident occurs, the game official will provide corresponding compensation. Therefore, this is something that the contestants know in advance. They still choose to enter the game to participate. That is also their own choice. And the game stipulates that contestants must be aged The reason for reaching the age of 18 is because this is a responsibility that only a person with full capacity for civil conduct can bear."
Ren Qi from Nanhai University said: "I think many people have played in haunted houses. Some haunted houses require visitors to sign an agreement before entering, to the effect that if visitors are scared, they will be responsible for the consequences. There are also amusement parks. The roller coasters, big pendulums, etc. in the park will have accidents from time to time due to various reasons. The best result can only be that the merchants pay enough compensation. However, these entertainment facilities have not been closed because of this, and even opened more and more. There are also some extreme sports, such as rock climbing and racing. While pursuing extreme sports brings them happiness, these athletes also enjoy the generous rewards after achieving results. Of course, they must also bear certain risks. Also, even if Whether they are taxi drivers, coal miners, or construction workers, a certain number of people die from work-related injuries every year. What I want to say is two points: 1. Game players have repeatedly been warned by the official that the game is life-threatening. The fact that they still participate in the game is because most players subjectively do not pay attention to the official prompt, taking it for granted that it is just a scare, or wishful thinking that it is just a game. 2. If all participants and their families If you can regard playing this game as joining the army and fighting in the war, everything will feel reasonable. Will people die in the war? Obviously yes, what will happen after death? That is, the state will pay pensions to the family members. Then play God of War Land Will people die? Yes, it will. What will happen after death? The official will provide compensation. What do you think is the difference? I can’t disclose the official background of the game, and what I know is not accurate, but what I can say is that these two The difference is not big.”
Lan Ling questioned: "Principal Ren, I have a question at this point. You used the metaphor of joining the army to fight, which seems to have changed the concept. In essence, joining the army means making sacrifices to protect the family and the country, which is glorious. But the contestants in the Land of Gods are just playing a game, how can they be compared?"
Ren Qi said: "As I said just now, there is not much difference between the two. You said that God's War Land is just a game? This only shows that you do not know enough. Let me ask you, is there any game that is not for profit? Which game is there? Can universities open special recruitment classes? Which game allows outstanding performers to buy air tickets at a discount? Let me tell you, there are more policies and regulations that will be formulated around the land of God War. In the future, society will also have a deep understanding of God War. Give more protection and respect to the contestants in the land. This is definitely not just a game, and I don’t know about the other things.”
After Lan Ling was silent for a second, he asked Jiang Qiu, "There have been fatal accidents one after another in the game Land of Gods, but we don't know the details. Even the real cause of death has not been disclosed to the outside world. It is said that the families of the deceased have not spoken out about it. . It seems that some members of the Martial Arts Association are also participating in the competition. I would like to ask President Jiang if he knows whether this game requires force? Or, is the death of the contestant related to martial arts?"
"This game is open to all adults, and there is no threshold for force. However, if you have a certain amount of force, you should be able to get a better ranking in the game. As for the cause of death of the contestants, I dare not make random guesses. , but I think that with the development of the game, many issues that are unclear now will gradually surface in the near future. For example, our Martial Arts Association has always existed, but not many people know about our existence."
"Martial Arts Association." Xu Qian muttered in a low voice.
Chen Xiaolu heard Xu Qian's voice and took over, "I know something about the Martial Arts Association. Every provincial capital city has a branch, and we have one in Nanhai. But most people don't care much about this, and the Martial Arts Association itself is also very low-key. So few people mention it, and people who are not related don't know the existence of the Martial Arts Association." Her Uncle Teng is a member of the Martial Arts Association and knows a little bit about it.
The Martial Arts Association is not a secret organization, but a highly professional semi-official private organization. If the martial arts cultivators in the world don't manage it, then it won't be chaos? The Martial Arts Association is a self-regulatory organization that assists the government in managing folk martial arts. However, ordinary people rarely need to find them for any business. Just like some other professional organizations, people who are not in that circle will not know about it and do not need to know about it. Its existence is the same.
Xu Qian stopped talking. He had a vague feeling that there was an invisible big hand controlling everything. The implementation of the new competition system, the news of game deaths, schools recommending students to participate, society's recognition of game contestants, and the martial arts association's exposure to the public. These things all happened at almost the same time, and the force driving all this can only be at the national level. strength.
Xu Qian became more and more interested in the land of war.
Lan Ling's graceful voice came from the radio again, "Since Land of Gods appeared in the public eye half a year ago, this game has attracted much attention, and the number of participants has been increasing day by day. However, this game is very mysterious and has extremely low transparency. Regarding this point, I wonder what President Jiang and Principal Ren have to say?"
President Jiang was the first to speak up, "It's all relative whether God is mysterious or not. Our martial arts association is very mysterious to many people, but to some people, it is as familiar as their own natal family. If you want to know more , just go and participate by yourself, any hearsay is just smoke and mirrors, and you can’t tell the truth. Host, let me make an advertisement by the way. If there are martial arts cultivators who want to participate in the land of God’s battle, they can sign up for the competition through the Martial Arts Association. In this way You will receive more guidance and support than competing on your own.”
Ren Qi also said with a smile: "Nanhai University will start recruiting the first batch of special admissions for God's War next year. Anyone under the age of 25 who has entered the provincial competition can apply for our school's special admission class for God's War. For Regarding the issue of transparency, I would like to add to what Chairman Jiang said. I personally believe that improving transparency is an inevitable issue, and the government is now doing this. However, everything needs a step-by-step process. Anything done too hastily will only be counterproductive. So don’t be anxious, I also believe that God’s War Land will gradually expand its influence and penetrate into every aspect of our lives.”
Xu Qian understood in his heart that this program was actually popularizing the land of God's War to the public. It was one of the promotion methods. It was also one of the measures that Ren Qi said the official was taking to improve transparency. The plan started half a year ago and was gradually promoted to involve the whole society. However, it seemed that it was worried that the society would not be able to accept the truth behind it, so it had to speed up the intensity and pace of promotion. Xu Qian felt a contradiction. The truth would be unacceptable to the public, so it had to be unfolded slowly; and there was some reason why it had to be done quickly, so it couldn't be done slowly.
What is the truth behind this?
