Chereads / Player One / Chapter 3 - "——We are 'human beings'."

Chapter 3 - "——We are 'human beings'."

After the copy was over, Su Ming'an was enveloped by a teleporting white light.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw an endless square.

In his ears, the shouts of various people mixed together.

"What a joke! Where is this place!"

"Strange... I was just hacked to death, and suddenly there was a voice telling me that my novice rating was D, and now I'm alive again..."

"Me too, I was studying well, but the teacher suddenly came with a knife to hack me... I barely hacked him, and then I heard some prompt saying that I had passed the level with a B rating, and now I suddenly appeared here..."

"Collective time travel? Or some alien game?"

"Damn it, I just finished that damn planning proposal yesterday, and Sima Jiafang just said he was satisfied, and then there was a prompt saying that the game was starting..."

"Mom, where are you, mom..."

People stood on the square like him, and everything they saw was black, squeezing the huge square into a sea of ​​people.

... Is this the so-called opening ceremony of the world game?

What he just experienced was indeed a novice level tailored for everyone?

Su Ming'an endured the noise in his ears. Suddenly, a big white rabbit jumped out of the sky above the sea of ​​people.

The rabbit was quite deformed, three meters tall, with huge limbs hanging beside its body, and a huge scale pattern on its chest.

The next moment, Su Ming'an found that he could not move or speak. The others were the same as him, as if everyone was cast under a silent spell.

"——Woohoo——! Everyone is here——!" The strange rabbit, with a reflection like a giant, cast a shadow over everyone's terrified eyes.

"Let me count... um, one, two, three, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million... one billion! Okay, the number is correct!" It smiled, opened its cotton candy-like arms, and shouted with great joy:

"——Welcome everyone to our world game!"

The sky was full of fireworks flying down, and the ribbons sprinkled on the people who could not move.

All the eyes were filled with fear, doubt, confusion, and terror...

They were living a normal life before, studying, going to work, and working... but they were suddenly pulled into the novice dungeon by a prompt, experienced an unimaginable plot process, and were then forcibly teleported here.

Faced with such a situation that was far beyond the three views, everyone was in fear of the unknown.

Su Ming calmed down.

It seems that this rabbit is the organizer of this game...? Or, a host-like existence?

He didn't have any fear in his mind. As a horror game-up master, such a thing that was far beyond his daily life opened a new window for him.

The novice dungeon of Shen Xue and Liu Anna simulated in the previous game was very interesting. Combined with the system prompts, there will be various types of game worlds later.

"Hello everyone! Let me introduce myself first - you can call me Boss Rabbit! I am honored to be the general purchaser of this game!" Rabbit smiled:

"It is 3:00 p.m. on September 30, 2024. Three hours ago, the personal novice copy of the world game officially started!"

"The participating members are the one billion human species of Zhaixing! Congratulations to you who have been selected. You have the opportunity to change your destiny! Become a participant in the game and become a traveler who travels through various different worlds!"

At the same time, a light curtain lit up in the square.

——That is the scenery on Zhaixing. There is a time indication in the lower right corner, which is exactly three hours ago.

The originally bustling city, pedestrians walking on the roadside, farmers working in the fields... Their smooth movements stopped for a moment when the pointer pointed to twelve o'clock.

Su Ming'an even saw himself leaving the coffee shop in it.

At the moment he stepped out of the coffee shop, his figure, covered with clothes, stopped at the door for a moment.

"The time on Zhai Star has been permanently stopped at this moment!"

The rabbit's voice continued, but the tone gradually became passionate-

"One billion "selected" human beings-"

[Welcome, you have the opportunity to control your destiny and officially enter the world game together! ]

"I think every player has experienced the single-player copy just now for different players, the great game organizer has given you a unique trial customized for you!" It said excitedly.

Su Ming'an's eyes flashed with understanding as expected, everyone's experience is different. At the same moment just now, one billion players were thrown into different copies.

What he faced was just a fictitious copy, in which he was the only player. After passing the level, the copy ended.

Shen Xue and Liu Anna…are not real people either, but the system disguises them in the image of people it is familiar with in order to test itself…He said why Shen Xue would suddenly attack him, it turned out to be fake, it was a game copy.

For other people's novice copies, they might suddenly face poisoning by their superiors, backstabbing by their relatives, or car accidents…such attacks that are hard to guard against.

And whether they pass the novice copy or not, they will eventually appear here.

In the square, people of different skin colors opened their eyes, their eyes were full of confusion and shock.

"Next—start issuing the game rules!" Rabbit shouted: "A total of six!"

Then, in front of everyone, a blue panel appeared, listing the rules.

[(Rule 01) In order to balance the game, elderly players have been adjusted back to their prime. Disabled players also have corresponding compensation. ]

[(Rule 02) Game participants: one billion selected Zhai Xing players. ]

[(Rule 03)One Billion Players Mission: In the future, players will collectively enter a game world. Players can obtain points for exchanging various magical items by completing tasks in the world. ]

...

These rules are similar to what Su Ming'an guessed. There will be different worlds in the future, such as the end of the world, fairy tales, science fiction, fantasy... They have become travelers and adventurers traveling through various worlds and have to complete corresponding tasks.

The rules are still going on:

[(Rule 04)Players who die in the game do not mean they are completely dead! All points and strength of dead players will be cleared, and they will watch others continue to adventure as spectators. After a certain viewing time, dead players can start their adventure again!]

[(Rule 05)In the interval after each copy, players have the right to decide whether to continue the adventure or become spectators. ]

[(Rule 06)Players who are adventuring will receive additional bonuses if they start live streaming! ]

These three rules surprised Su Ming'an.

If the high-dimensional creatures were just to drive humans to explore other worlds, there would be no need to activate such rules. It seems that there are combat players and casual players in the game. There are forwards and logistics.

"The world game lasts for one year!" The rabbit stretched out its white hand:

"At that time, the players will be ranked according to their points to determine what each player can finally bring back to Zhai Xing. During the game, Zhai Xing's time will be forever stopped at the beginning of the novice level until the end of the world game!

At the same time, if the total points of all players are too low, then - all will be wiped out! Among them, the higher the individual points of the players, the greater the weight!

- As for the final outcome of each player..."

Its blood-red eyes curved into crescents, and the lines were extremely twisted:

"... Take it for yourself?"

The next moment, everyone found that they had recovered their language function:

" - Who are you!"

"Oh God, let me go back! What a joke!"

"It is a shame to be a tool for others to amuse themselves..."

Those who cry for mercy and those who are afraid of the unknown, I don't know what they are.

But there are also those who are eager to try and break the usual rules:

"I don't want to go to school anymore. The legendary main god space… is just what I want!"

"The strong survive, the weak are eliminated…"

"Sister, I'm scared…" The plain-dressed little boy tugged at the skirt of the woman next to him.

The man, still wearing a military uniform and with a resolute face, raised his calm eyes from the chaotic crowd.

With a noose tied around his neck, he tightened his necklace like a girl wearing a necklace.

"——Next, I will announce the details of the novice level for all players!" Rabbit didn't care about the noise of the people below.

[The first novice level, all depends on individual physical fitness and instinct to fight! 1114279878 participants! ]

[Among them, 16527 people were rated A, 1270 people were rated S, and 1 person was rated SS! ]

Rabbit's voice was particularly excited, and he even screamed when he reported the number.

Su Ming'an's heart jumped.

The moment he heard the number, his mind was working fast.

He understood that the novice levels were the most difficult levels tailored for each person. For example, the conditions for soldiers to pass the level may be to disobey the orders of their superiors, and the conditions for gang members to pass the level may be to be kind...

If it is ss, if someone has a brain twitch and makes a completely different decision from usual, it can be done. But ss requires that the plot route has no deviation, and there is no hesitation from beginning to end.

If everyone can save and load the file, many people are stronger than him, and he will not be the best.

Unless this death reloads skill... is unique to him.

——Perhaps, even the organizer in front of him does not know the existence of this skill.

After all, when he died for the first time, the game gave him a d rating. If the organizer knew that he had a death rollback, it would be impossible for him to be directly evaluated upon death. It is very likely that only he knows this skill, and the source is unknown.

Assuming that this skill is unique to him, then, facing the pessimistic situation that humans are ruled by the organizer... can he, who has this skill of jumping out of the chessboard, have a chance to become a "game breaker" who overturns the chessboard?

Even the organizer and all the audience will roll back with his death,

——He may become the only person standing outside the long river of time.

"Now let us invite the first person to get the SS-level evaluation! Give a speech for us, and everyone applauds and welcome!!!" The rabbit clapped his hands to himself.

"Swish."

A ray of light shone on Su Ming'an, isolating him from everyone.

The next moment, he felt himself being pulled up by an invisible force, his figure rising higher and higher as if being pulled away by the light——

The main god space did not force him to the edge, a pure white mask appeared on his face, and his figure became extremely blurred, so he would not be exposed in the subsequent missions.

"Oh my, the current number one on Zhaixing looks really not simple! Give a speech of thanks for the award! Don't worry, we are translating in real time!" Rabbit handed the blood-red microphone to his mouth.

Su Ming'an looked down.

The boundless square, the endless distance, countless people, a dark mass, countless shining eyes, all related to him at this time.

The weight of a world gathered here.

He took the microphone.

"World Game..." he said.

He noticed that his voice had been encrypted, and others could not hear his original voice.

He started and thought for a moment.

Then, his voice slowly flowed from the sky to the entire square.

"Although it is a bit ridiculous to tie the fate of the world's people to a trial called "game".

"But now, we can't end this game for the time being.

"The crowd is excited, venting anger, clamoring to overthrow the organizer...these ideas are correct.

"But at present, the future of mankind is blank, and we have no ability to fight against the organizer. All we can do is to strengthen ourselves in a limited space."

His voice paused, and there was silence below.

Countless people raised their heads and looked at him, with different expressions in their eyes.

After a pause, he continued:

"——I often wonder, what is [luck] for a person? "

People raised their heads and the whole place was silent.

One billion people looked at the figure bathed in light.

"I don't know what others think, but in my opinion, to borrow a sentence from the masterpiece "The Stars of Humanity" -" Su Ming'an said:

"[The greatest luck in a person's life is to find his mission in the middle of his life, that is when he is young and strong. ]"

"We are lucky, we are young and strong - at least physically, we are no longer aging. Even children are no longer fragile. "

"We are lucky, we have also found our mission. "

"We are the one billion lucky and unfortunate people who have been chosen, and we are responsible for winning back our hometown. "

"--To reach the end, so that all human points meet the standard, this is our current mission, and our responsibility to the other 6.5 billion unselected humans. "

"We are 'human beings'. "

"Whether we were soldiers, students, or other human beings before."

"The task of the overall human points progress bar has been imposed on each of us. The accumulation of each of us may converge into the river and sea for the final self-salvation in a year."

"The giant ship named [Zhai Xing] will ride the wind and waves."

"All beings named [Humanity] are fellow travelers on this ship."

"In this world where all human beings work together, trickles can become big rivers. This era of crisis and opportunity is closely related to each of us."

"We are 'human beings'."

"We cannot create the unknown and see the light of the sky like gods.

"We are weak and ignorant, with only a short life and a shallow vision.

"But we are 'human beings'. "

"…So, we can use the wisdom of the 'known' to calculate everything of the 'unknown' and have a torch that never goes out."

"There has never been a lack of heroes in human history. I hope that more players can stand up and understand the current situation."

"——Then, become heroes on all levels."

"Even if our blood is spilled in every corner of the dungeon, and the road we have walked is full of corpses and ashes of our own resurrected bodies after death."

"——As long as we still have the opportunity to go on, we must let everyone witness the coming of the future."

When he said this, the whole audience was silent.

People raised their heads and listened quietly, with unprecedented brilliance in their eyes.

Su Ming'an smiled slightly and said the last sentence.

"[And the face towards the ashes of the victims,]

[Noble people will shed hot tears. ]"

He was not nervous.

As a part-time anchor, public speaking was easy for him.

This was a good time to strengthen his influence. As long as some very suggestive concepts were enough to guide emotions, people would be infected.

Emphasizing the concept of "humanity" and the importance of "compatriots", most people would recognize him.

The most ambiguous words sometimes have the most powerful influence, and they are endowed with all the magical power that can make people complete themselves.

For example, struggle.

For example, ideal.

For example, "sacrifice".

They evoke solemn and vague images in people's minds and are endowed with magical charm in group speeches.

That's all he did.

He had a hunch.

…It seemed that this appearance in front of all mankind was just the beginning.

As the [strongest player] at the beginning, with the death rollback skill, he might be able to make it to the end. This speech was a good opportunity for him to reduce people's rejection of him.

He knew very well that he became the "first" of mankind because of his only death rollback skill. But this sudden appearance of the golden finger would not be a reason for him to be superior to others, but rather an obligation for him to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the world.

He was just a lucky man, there was nothing to be proud of.

Mission makes people overcome difficulties.

He who could not die might still face so many eyes.

"——Well said!"

"Pa pa pa" the rabbit clapped desperately, the sound was very loud, and it was particularly funny and crisp above the dead silence:

"As expected of the first among a billion, that's how it should be! Enjoy life, enjoy——world game! "

Su Ming'an was put down, and the people around him cast surprised eyes.

The psychology of rejection will always exist among humans.

But if you reach a high enough level...

"Today's welcome party - ends here! Alas -! Now everyone is about to travel together and collectively enter our first doomsday! "

The snow-white rabbit clapped its hands, and blood-red light scattered all over the sky, enveloping countless people in an instant——

[——Wish you all.]

[Game——Happy!]

A flash of white light passed by.

Su Ming'an found that he was in a closed room, where he was the only one, with a bed next to him, which should be his waiting area.

He is now the best player among the one billion Zhaixing players.

For an "ordinary" college student, he is really praised too much.

After the end of the world game in one year, the ranking will be based on the ranking. The higher the score, the greater the weight.

If he keeps this level, he will be paid more and more attention...

The eyes of more than one billion people.

The game of high-dimensional creatures is so real and ironic.

The world chat channel is already full of smoke and fog, and scolding and confused remarks fill the chat channel on the lower left side of the field of vision:

[Shen Yan lv1: Are you kidding, am I still in a dream? ]

[Wang Feifei lv1: The first game world is the end of the world?! Do we have to fight zombies together? Or face natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes? I don't want to die! ]

[Yan Zi lv1: Mom, can you see me? I am Xiao Yan! Mom, have you been selected? ]

[Yu Ruohe lv1: Don't panic, everyone. I have posted the precautions for the end of the world on the forum. I hope it can help my compatriots. ]

[Yang Changxu lv1: I am a soldier of the Dragon Country. If you are in the vice of the game If I meet my compatriots in this game, I will prioritize their safety. Please don't be afraid, we will definitely survive! ]

[Filar lv.1: Are the Dragon people so responsible? In this kind of thing, you should think about your own life, otherwise you will die...]

In the open world-class forum, there are even more monsters and demons. Some boldly speculate on the theory of the end of the world, some call on compatriots to calm down, and some claim that they will dominate the world game and become the first person to dominate.

Su Ming'an checked his own status and waited for the beginning of the end of the world.

Finally, the second hand on the crystal ball reached zero little by little.

[The First World: The End of the World. A global survival game. ]

[The First World: The End of the World Plot Tips:

She felt so painful... The scalpel stabbed her, it hurt, it hurt.

… Stop cutting her open... She wanted to wear a skirt, she wanted to go home...

The white coats said she was a monster, and that someone who could resist the zombie virus was a monster.

However, she felt that she looked similar to other people, with a pair of hands and a pair of feet... They were all human, so why did humans fight each other?

If she was a powerful monster, she could break through the glass of the operating room and get out, right?

She was not a monster, so she couldn't get out.

How ironic.

She actually hoped she was a monster.

——Is she a "monster" herself, or are the people who think she is a "monster" forcing her to become a "monster"? "

——Redemption is born on sacrifice, and before justice, people are happy with a bright future.

As a little girl with original sin, she gave people the most tolerant revenge.]

...

[There are two clearance routes in this world (peace route, force route) and three different world endings:

TE·Cannot be saved

NE·Good night my girl

HE·Dad, am I your pride?]

...

[The apocalyptic world will be copied into 50,000 identical worlds, and each world will invest about 20,000 players to play the game!]

[——The world begins!]

A flash of white light passed, and Su Ming'an closed his eyes.

...

...
