first player

Chapter 321 Chapter 310 "I should let him finish drinking before leaving"

Through the induction of actions and words, and the all-round shaping of the environment, new concepts will be easily internalized into the hearts of the group.

Even if it doesn't look natural in reality.

When people are placed in this game of absolute strength, with a clear spotlight, the person in the spotlight will make their scattered hearts connect.

On the one hand, they insist on maintaining the concept of "self", claiming that it is a personal favorite emanating from the heart; on the other hand, they have been driven by this world uncontrollably and unconsciously blend into it.

Su Mingan under the spotlight saw such a scene.

Those who "love the first player" are opposed to those who "your love is too sick".

All kinds of speeches converge.

[Great lighthouse god, I believe in you!From now on, I will follow you all my life and become your most loyal light chaser...]

【Ming An... I want to be Ming An's dog, which means...】

[Some people don't want to do anything all day long, they just want to stay in the studio. 】

[? ? ?Is this studio starting to get sick? 】

[Hey, can you go to Chaohua to show your sense of presence? It's a gathering place for sick believers. Don't come here for disgusting people. I'm here to learn game skills. 】

[The live broadcast room is not born attached to people?This is the live broadcast room of "Su Ming'an", and it's not a game technology live broadcast room, you have to go to the forum to learn. 】

【Hey, Ming An...my Ming Anan...】

[It's numb, if this continues, Su Ming'an will really rule the world...whether it's in terms of strength or thought.I don't know how many people regard him as a spiritual mentor, and how many people change themselves because of his words and deeds. Every day, they are like a group of guys who have lost their minds. 】

……

Su Mingan saw such remarks.

He had also heard what Lu Shu said to him:
"Su Mingan, you are a good person."

"You can lead most people to rely on you, believe in you, and believe that you will never fail-this will definitely help you pass the level perfectly. You don't need to care what other people think."

"Because you are the absolute future."

Under the spotlight, no matter what kind of person he is, just because of the overwhelming and dominant strength gap, people will involuntarily cast their eyes on him first.

These gazes may be malicious, but most of them will be kind.

Because he is the one at the forefront, the "first player" who has been clearly marked, and the candidate who has been clearly launched by the "Hero Project" of an organization like the United League.

But goodwill condenses too much, and has experienced the fanaticism of the group, and has an overwhelming advantage, and it will converge into such a situation.

He's achieved what he wanted in the first place - to make people believe that they can't fail, that their world has a future.

Let people know that there will be a "lighthouse" that will always stand on this dark road.

And what comes with it-solidified ideas, fanatical groups, and people who refute each other, this must not be shaken off.

In the short term, this is very helpful for customs clearance.

In the long run, this is not good for the future.

A stable, real world doesn't need a dictator after being out of the game.

After leaving the game, the world doesn't need a lot of ability users who ignore the law and rule the sky with one hand.

The division of power will lead to the strong preying on the weak, and Zhai Xing will naturally evolve into a world like Minghui.

Su Ming'an didn't know what the future would be like, and he didn't have the heart to worry about the future of human beings after they succeeded in addition to passing the level perfectly.

But he knew that the current frenzied scene, although crazy, was not a bad thing.

...He gave people "hope".

Even if this "hope" is pathological.

Because this game-like world,

It is sick in itself.

Su Mingan put down the quill.

He had finished copying the ghost symbols, and he looked at the stone tablet covered in bloody characters.

The system prompt sounds:
[Complete the first level task and get 600 resource points. 】

[The level task has been completed, the first level is cleared, do you need to exit the instance?If you choose not to quit, you will automatically log out of the copy after two hours and 34 minutes ([-]:[-] a.m. Praia time). 】

Six hundred resource points seemed not enough at all.

Su Mingan remembered that one of the ways to earn resource points was to fulfill the wishes of his subordinates.

Turning to look at Jin Qiangwei: "Do you have any wish?"

At the moment he asked, an interface popped up in front of Jin Qiangwei.

【Great Demon King, I traveled in the world and met a loyal and brave human soldier.Now his life is dying, I hope to save his life, I wonder if you can agree? 】

【whether. 】

[If you choose "Yes", you need to spend 100 resource points to treat human soldiers, which may trigger special rewards. 】

……

Su Mingan chose "Yes".

The next moment, a white light flashed, and a black puppet appeared beside Jin Qiangwei, with the four characters "Black Lover" floating on its head, representing its name.

[If you choose to save human soldiers, 100 resource points will be deducted. 】

[Golden Rose's wish is fulfilled, and your resource points increase by 100 points. 】

[The "Black Lover" is grateful for your helping hand, and volunteers to join the Demon King's camp and become your soldier. 】

……

Su Mingan did the same thing, and asked the black lover if he had any wishes, but got no answer for the time being.

He walked around this shabby Demon King City again, and after finding that there were no new missions triggered, he chose to quit the instance.

In the next blink of an eye, he had already returned to the original bungalow.

Looking at the time, it is now five fifty in the morning.

The system prompt sounds:

[Complete the first level of "The Devil and the Brave" and get Su Rin's special ability "Confusion". 】

[Confusion: You can use this skill on any npc in Playa to make him believe your words.Resource points will be deducted for each use, and the number of resource points used is directly related to the strength of the bewildered object. 】

[Current resource points: 600 points]

……

Resource points can still be used in reality?

He closed the interface, slept for two hours, and left the room at eight o'clock in the morning.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the channel chat in the lower left corner had already started to become lively. Players began to complain about the underworld at night, and some people had noticed him, the new S-level soulhunter.

[Blanche (Ox Star): Did anyone participate in the "blockade" of Flower Street last night?I am a member of Team Eight. 】

[Bill (Back Garden of Via): The [-]th team is recruiting detective teammates who can understand human language. 】

[Mo Qing (Jianmen): Yes.I'm on Team Seven. 】

[Cesar (World Tree Guild): What about S-level soul hunting?I saw it too, the one coming down from the red building, right? 】

[Clair (no affiliation): Everyone remember to stay away from that S-level soul hunter!He was a member of the Yate who was abandoned by the lifeboat. He is definitely not a serious soul hunter. If you encounter him, please stay away. 】

[He Jiaming (Yellow River System): If it is S-level, it should be an npc. Npcs are different from players. Under normal circumstances, they will not attack us casually, as long as we don't provoke them...]

This group of players chatted and said "don't approach him".

He wasn't worried that the people on the Yate would recognize him. The Stone of Examination was useless to him. As long as he was confirmed as a "human", he would be invincible.

He walked to the door and smelled a faint smell of blood.

This is the daily life of Praia. Whenever the morning light falls and the night fades away, there will always be a faint blood by the river.

The morning light sprinkled on his face, he squinted his eyes, and saw the soul hunters passing the street covered in wounds, welcoming the flowers sent by the residents.

The residents respected the hero who protected them in this way. He even saw the enthusiastic aunt introduce her daughter with Soulhunting.

He was standing here, but there was a voice next to him.

"Good morning, lad."

He turned his head and saw the gray-haired grandmother of the neighbor's house drying salted fish.

There is a thin layer of skin on the back of her hand, and there is still black mud between her nails. She looks like a person who is used to working.

Her face was weather-beaten, with fine cracked wrinkles covering her thin skin, and a pair of cloudy eyes were watching him with a kind smile.

"Grandma is good." Su Mingan said.

"Hey." The old lady responded, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became more dense.

She spread out the somewhat blackened cloth in her hand to let the sunlight shine down smoothly, arched her somewhat rickety back, and picked the fish in her hand.

"Look at you, you didn't sleep well yesterday." The old lady said.

"Is it obvious?"

"It's dark under my eyes, and my complexion is not good." The old lady turned her face with her fingers and said, "Pay attention to sleep, young man, although it is true that outsiders will be too scared to sleep on the first day when they come to Praia, but There are soul hunters here, don't worry."

Su Mingan glanced at the mirror of the system, his complexion was not very good.

In the branch copy at night, he was indeed awake, and two hours of sleep was not enough to support the energy he consumed in a day.

He looked at the soul hunters returning from the river and the street, their expressions were similar to his.

...After all, they are all people who haven't slept all night.

"Soulhunters are very handsome." The old lady smiled: "If you become a soulhunter, you will have a bright future. The family conditions... If you can get a good partner... it will be a lot better."

Since Su Mingan didn't go out in the middle of the night, the old lady regarded him as a simple traveler.

"En." Su Mingan nodded.

The old lady was very talkative, and when it came to soul hunting, she chatted with him for a long time, talking about the wonderful experience of Praia soul hunting.

The siege of hundreds of people in the west district, the battle to defend the king's city in the north district, the handsome leader of the soul hunters in the central city, the son Guangzong Yaozu who became a soul hunter... All the history of Praia, big and small, was uttered by her.

According to the old lady, becoming a soul hunter, especially a front-line soul hunter who fights at the front line at night, is a matter equivalent to the smoke of the ancestors.

Even if they are easy to sacrifice and die because of this, it will bring a lot of wealth to the family that was not rich at first, and this family will be cared for and respected by people around them in the future.

After talking about a lot of soul hunting honors, the old lady took a breath and shook her hands.

"Young man, I've said so much." She wiped her hand on the apron and looked at him: "You are the descendant of Master Su Rin, do you want to become a soul hunter?"

"Think." Su Mingan said.

... after all he has become.

Listening to his answer, the old lady sighed.

"...I told you so much just now. It is true that the old man talks a lot, and he can't hold back when he meets a young man from outside."

"But the old lady has been here for so many years, and I really don't want any child to become this soul hunter...even if it is something worthy of congratulations."

"What's the matter?" Su Mingan looked at her and saw her sad expression.

"The death rate of soul hunting..." she said: "It's as high as 70.00%... 70.00%."

"70.00%?" Su Mingan was indeed shocked.

He had thought that soul hunting was dangerous, but he didn't expect the death rate to be so high.

If the death rate was really that high, shouldn't Praia's soul hunting have disappeared long ago?Where can we still maintain more than 100 local soulhunters...

Thinking of this, he suddenly understood.

...because of replacement.

Generation after generation of renewal.

As the old dies, the new will fill in.When the soulhunters of the predecessors die, there will be second-tier ones to take their place.

Soulhunter does die all the time.

But there's always someone who keeps becoming a soulhunter.

"I know my thoughts are a bit selfish. After all, without these heroes, we would be gone." The old lady said softly, "But young man—you are the child of Master Su Lin. You have been wandering outside for so long , I finally found a home, old lady, I really don’t want you to die on this land so quickly like other children. People will miss their homeland, Mr. Su Lin has done so much for Praia, you should also be here How about a good life in this defended land?"

"..."

"As you can see, I have a granddaughter." The old lady turned around and began to arrange the kelp in the bucket again.

Her movements are a bit slow, and the poses are also very difficult.

Su Mingan stepped forward and helped her arrange the kelp.After all, he was also asking for news.

"Thank you, young man." The old lady smiled at him:

"Actually, before this... I also had a son as old as you."

As she spoke, she seemed to be lost in memory.

Through Su Ming'an who was helping her, she seemed to see another child.

"Little Hull...he went on a trip with the merchant ship, and came back as a soul hunter. After a period of internship, he was incorporated into the most dangerous mission team, and he was going to carry out a big mission."

"I still remember how he looked when he left."

"Beautiful black uniform, a pretty little pistol, and a glowing star."

"It was then that I suddenly saw that little Hull had become a grown-up."

"I remember, on the day before he left, he said that he had always wanted to drink the old rice wine I brewed."

"I said, 'Let's talk about it when you come back. You're going to the battlefield, and you're still drinking. Remember to bring a beautiful girl when you come back. Don't embarrass our family'."

"I remember his answer."

"He told me to pack up the house quickly and wait for him to bring someone back. He seems to be getting along well with a girl from another street."

"He also said, tell me to fill the wine well. He will drink eight bowls when he comes back in a few days."

"Now think about it..."

Her voice was very slow and her tone was very flat, like an old man telling an ordinary story.

The old sadness has gradually settled over the years, and when she mentions it again, her emotions are no longer as broken as before.

Time is a good medicine to heal people's emotions.

The shriveled kelp was rubbing in her hands, and the thin skin on the back of her hands showed some bruises of blood vessels.

She lowered her head, and the morning sun left thin marks on her old cheeks.

"I was so stupid at the time."

"...I should let him finish his drink before leaving."
