Banner of the Evil God

Reality and ideal are always difficult to reconcile.

Facing the top elites from other worlds, Ye Yu really couldn't hold up. He successfully made it to the quarterfinals of the hero group, but only ranked fourth in the round-robin tournament, not even in the top three.

It is difficult for upsets to happen in the round-robin tournament, and the results were similar to what everyone guessed before the game. Leo and Elsa won the first and second place respectively, but the third place was a big upset - although Kratos from the Mystic Tower Federation lost in the battle with Ye Yu, he won the third place by virtue of winning more against other players.

According to the rules of the round-robin tournament, each player has to play one game with the other seven players. The winner gets two points, the loser gets no points, and if both sides are willing to shake hands and make peace, they will each get one point. Leo won all seven games and scored 14 points; Elsa won six games and lost one game to Leo, 12 points; Kratos lost one game to Leo, Elsa and Yeyu, and won the rest of the games, 8 points; Yeyu lost two games, won two games, and tied three games, only 7 points.

As for the remaining players, the fifth place had two wins and two draws and 6 points, the sixth place had one win and three draws and 5 points, the seventh place had three draws and 3 points, and the last place had only one draw in total, and only got one point.

Yeyu was naturally very dissatisfied with this ending. He refused to accept the reward for the fourth place and left, shouting "I will be stronger next time."

Kratos was very happy. After receiving the award, the big guy who used his life to entertain the audience in the arena went down the stage and went straight to the gate of the amusement park to give his trophy to Lingming. The reason why he was able to get rid of his identity as a slave gladiator was because Lingming remembered that he had a good relationship with him in the arena and helped him pay the ransom after making money.

That night, they ate and drank happily with Fafnir and Shug at a street stall. Several strong men, at least at the peak of the high level, ate crude and spicy barbecue, drank thin wine that had no advantages except being clean, talked and laughed, and were in high spirits.

This group of people can be regarded as a unique landscape in the Void Mask Playground, powerful and happy, unrestrained and free. Qiao Xiu was also a member of this happy group before, but since he became the inspector general of the Northwest Republic, he can no longer be so free. When they gathered at night some time ago, Fafnir and Shug often muttered that "four people sitting at a table is perfect", and today they finally filled the last seat.

As for the fact that two of the four people around the table are actually Warcraft - this little thing is not worth mentioning. Even the owner of the food stall doesn't care, will others still complain?

Coincidentally, at another food stall not far away, a few friends were also eating and drinking.

The third World No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament brought Morani a lot of faith and divine power. He was so happy that he dragged Sui Xiong, Wei Ye and Wo Er to have dinner together to celebrate. He originally planned to invite his good brother Mo, as well as Yorgadman, Akain, and the healing god named "Sanwu" by Sui Xiong. But Mo said that he had drunk too much and didn't want to walk today; Yorgadman was out of the house for something; Akain's father Twila had recently rejuvenated his second spring and insisted on dragging him to meet the lady who might become his stepmother; as for Sanwu... Morani stared at him for about three minutes, and then he was scared and left in disgrace, without being able to say anything to invite him.

"Don't mind, four people are just right." Sui Xiong, who had turned into a bald man, smiled and advised him, "A table has four sides, we can sit on each side, and we can play mahjong or poker after eating."

"... Four gods gathered on the street to gamble, don't you think it's a bit strange, Your Majesty?" Woer frowned and hurriedly advised.

Before Sui Xiong spoke, Weiye had already handed the wine glass to Woer: "Why are you so old-fashioned! Anyway, no one here can recognize us. Let alone gambling on the street, even if I take off my clothes and sing and dance now, will anyone know it's me?"

Woer's face suddenly darkened, he guessed... Weiye might really do this.

The style of doing things of the celebration youth has always been free and unrestrained, and he doesn't take social reputation seriously at all. Not to mention the current situation where mortals cannot recognize His identity, even if mortals can recognize Him, He can sing and dance naked without any pressure...

The God of Knowledge, who has a more decent personality, can't stand it when he goes out to have fun with such people.

The worst thing is that He sees that His Majesty's eyes are shining and eager to try, and He is afraid that he will really accompany the celebration boy to do mischief, and maybe even drag himself and the Iron Lion, and the four gods will go crazy and run naked in the night...

(If I had known, I would not have come out!)

Woer regretted it so much that his intestines would turn green, and he secretly made up his mind that no matter what His Majesty said in the future, as long as the celebration boy was there, he would never go out to eat and drink together!

Fortunately, Morani was a reliable person after all, and did not follow Weiye to make trouble. He did not directly object, but changed the subject.

"Oscar, your real body has been lying on the conference table for more than ten years, don't you feel bored?" He asked.

Speaking of this, Sui Xiong suddenly became a little lazy and slumped down on a chair: "I feel like my body is hollowed out and I can't muster up energy. It's not bad to just lie there. Look, turtles lie there all day long."

"When turtles really run away, they actually run pretty fast." Morani said.

"Ah? Really? Don't scare me because I'm not well-educated!"

"Your Majesty, it's true." Wall said, "I just searched and it's true."

"I'll go..." Sui Xiong was speechless, "But it doesn't matter, I'm also very fast when I really run away!"

"You are a jellyfish, not a turtle." Weyer said with a smile.

"Jellyfish and jellyfish are two different things!" Sui Xiong protested, "Jellyfish are only called jellyfish when they are caught, washed and peeled into food."

"You look like you're lying motionless all day, but you're just a plate of jellyfish!" Weyer laughed. "You've even poured the vegetable juice on your body, and you're just waiting to cut it into slices and put it on the plate."

Sui Xiong was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but when he thought about it, he couldn't help laughing.

"Don't tell me, when I think about it carefully, it looks quite similar!"

Even Wall couldn't help but laugh now.

After laughing, Wei Ye persuaded: "It's not a problem for you to lie down all the time. People will become lazy if they don't do anything all the time. Gods are the same. You have been resting for so many years. Find something to do. How about doing it?”

"But what can I do?" Sui Xiong asked, "Both the territory and the church, everything is on track. If I intervene rashly, good things may turn into bad things."

"Find something else you like to do." Veyer said, "What do you like to do?"

"Drawing, designing, games." Sui Xiong twirled his fingers, "There's nothing to use for drawing or anything like that. Design... I've designed enough over the years, and I've designed and built such a large void city. I can’t think of many ideas to design anything else at the moment... What do you think of me building another city?”

"Not very good." Morani shook his head, "I believe you can build another city, but do you have that many people to live in?"

Sui Xiong thought for a while and shook his head: "No, it will be a ghost town after it is built, forget it."

"So, what about the game?" Morani asked.

"This is even more impossible. I can make a game, but the number of players is limited!" Sui Xiong sighed, "There are too few people in this world who have money and leisure to play games! At present, the players are almost saturated. Even if I launch New games are nothing more than reducing the number of players of old games, and they have no other use than a waste of resources.”

As he talked, He looked lazy again and couldn't cheer up.

"You can do something else," Morani said. "I remember at the public trial that year, you said you wanted to promote the concept of fear to change the camp. Why not start doing it now."

Sui Xiong thought for a while and nodded: "This is possible, but how should I start and where should I start?"

"It depends on you." Weyer said irresponsibly, "We are just giving you a heads up."

Sui Xiong smiled and thought carefully.

Although he said at the time that he would use various propaganda methods to subtly change people's perception of "fear". But in detail, it is not that easy.

Horror movie? Horror game? To be honest, he thought about it carefully and realized that not only would that kind of thing not eliminate the negative factors of "fear", but it would actually strengthen people's negative impression of the concept of "fear"!

At least before he traveled back in time, he had heard that some people were afraid to go to the toilet alone at night after watching a horror movie, and finally took a drink bottle to solve the problem.

Of course, that was an extreme example, but even Sui Xiong himself, after playing horror games, would be suspicious of everything he saw for a while.

(Why does this happen? Probably because of the "unknown". The unknown creates fear, such as darkness and loneliness. These will strengthen people's feeling of "unknown", so they will make people feel fear.)

Sui Xiong was not a rookie who didn't know anything. He had a preliminary idea after thinking about it for a while.

(I can first create a "fear experience game" to allow players to experience real danger - for example, what does darkness like hiding ghosts, monsters, etc. look like? What is the difference from ordinary darkness? This is very interesting. good!)

(Why are ordinary people afraid of ordinary darkness, but adventurers don’t take it seriously at all? Because they have truly been exposed to the kind of darkness that lurks danger, and that feeling is actually completely different from ordinary darkness. As long as there are enough With correct experience, fear is actually not a threat or pressure, but an effective early warning, which can allow adventurers to better avoid danger.)

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt eager to try.

"I've decided!" he said, "I'm going to make a new game!"

"What game?" Weiye is a game fan, and he perked up when he heard the game.

"I want to collect the experiences of ordinary adventurers, how they felt during the adventure, and then let the players take on their roles and experience their feelings at the time." Sui Xiong said, "Those really dangerous things, Really scary things are actually very different from the so-called 'fear' we are exposed to in daily life. As long as you truly experience them, you will naturally not be afraid of the darkness in life and other false terrors."

The gods nodded repeatedly, and Morani couldn't help but praise: "What a great idea!"

"Then what are you going to name this game?" Weyer asked with interest.

Sui Xiong raised his eyebrows, laughed a little slyly, and then said slowly: "Of course...infinitely terrifying!"
