First Player

——When I first saw him in Baisha Paradise, I never thought that he would become a disaster in my life.

At that time, I was just a shameless coward, confused by the spiritual pollution of Baisha Paradise, hiding in bed and shivering. But he came out of the darkness, bathed in radiance, and pulled me out of bed.

He said that if he wanted to send me back to rest, Baisha Paradise would drive me crazy.

He was not in good spirits at that time, with thick dark circles under his eyes and a pale face, but he had no intention of going back to rest.

I mistakenly recognized him as my mother. Because in my impression, only my mother can be so warm.

"Mom, is humanity going to be destroyed? I don't want to go back, I can't go back, I still want to... earn points for humanity..." I cried loudly.

His fingers pressed against my temples.

"You've gone crazy, go back."

"Won't mom go back with me?"

"I won't go back." He comforted me like this: "It doesn't matter if you fail once, just go and rest. After you adjust, you will have a chance to come back again."

I should have been crying, covering him with tears.

It was obvious that his condition was very bad, but he wanted me to rest first. At that time, there were not many people in the world who thought highly of him. Many people called him pretentious, a virgin, and a middle-class player, saying that he relied on his own force to crush and attack other players.

But this is a competitive copy, so why do people only blame him, but not the ordinary players who took the lead in attacking him?

I suddenly understood at that moment - the world really needs this kind of person. They are thankless, and as long as they do something that does not meet people's expectations, all their achievements will be overturned, as if all the previous efforts were hypocritical, and the bad guys can become Buddhas as long as they put down the butcher knife.

Because people do not believe that anyone can be so noble as themselves, they are used to finding fault with good people, eager to prove that their character is inferior. As long as a good person is slightly inconsistent with their three views, kindness can be criticized as a self-impression.

Therefore, I understand why there are fewer and fewer good people in the world game and more and more refined egoists, because the latter do not need to withstand fastidious moral constraints and will not be labeled as hypocritical. Like bad money driving out good money.

I rested my head on his chest, and as if I could hear the thumping heartbeat in his clothes. I don't understand why, at the age of eighteen, he is still obsessed with doing good in this situation where everyone is criticizing him.

He pressed his fingers against my temples and activated Obliteration.

I finally left that hell called White Sand Paradise.

But instead of returning to the world of the Lord God, I saw a big red and white rabbit.

Boss Rabbit said, I am lucky to be selected, and I have the opportunity to become a person with special status. As long as I agree, I will not return to the Lord God's world, but go to a brand new world.

I have seen this kind of rhetoric a lot while surfing the World Forum. Many players have received special status invitations from Boss Rabbit, and most of them agreed.

There is something unusual about me. Although I come from an ordinary family in the Dragon Kingdom, I can hardly feel fear or pain. The doctor said this is a disease. However, as the world undergoes a radical transformation, this disease turns out to be an advantage.

I thought about it for a while, but I still didn't want to break away from my identity as a "Zhai Xing human being". After all, if I wasn't a player, I wouldn't be able to return home. I want to go home after a year, not be adrift in the world.

There are people like Su Ming'an. Under his leadership, even if the current situation of the world game is very bad, sooner or later mankind will be able to unite. Just like the cartoons I have watched, even if Hongmao is knocked off the cliff by Zhu Wujie, he can still be rescued by the Blue Rabbit Palace Master. The combination of the seven swords is invincible. Why can't the Peak Nine Seats succeed? Nine is bigger than seven.

I am still eighteen years old, and I am willing to believe in the white tower in my heart - the goodness of human beings. I believe we will win in a year.

I said calmly: "I am confident that if I keep going, I will definitely become a strong player. I believe that humans will be united sooner or later, so I refuse."

Which teenager has never dreamed of being a hero in cartoons.

I seemed to have returned to my childhood at this moment. I became the young hero of the Rainbow Cat. With my back to the cliff and a butterfly dart in my body, I was still as powerful as a rainbow and bravely faced the evil called "the organizer".

At the moment when I rejected Boss Rabbit, I imagined that I had pulled out the Changhong Sword, danced wildly with sword light, and cut it into pieces. This fantasy made my blood boil and gave vent to my long-standing resentment against the organizers.

Boss Rabbit smiled and didn't care what I was thinking. It shook its rabbit ears badly and showed me a video.

In the picture, my mother...the mother who always told me to earn points for mankind...went crazy in the white sand paradise. She failed to resist the ubiquitous mental influence, collapsed, and finally died in Xia Luoyang.

This type of sanity copy appears for the first time, and the United Group cannot cope with it. Medical resources are extremely scarce, and they can only give priority to those with higher status. As for my mother...she has been wiped out of points, even as a casual player.

I saw her walking crazily on the road in the Lord God's World, drooling and laughing. My mother, who used to be elegant and beautiful, now looks like a sloppy old woman. The casual players on both sides backed away and looked at her like flies, saying, "Can all the lunatics who came back from White Sand Paradise be locked up? What if they hurt other people..." "If you ask me, it's the United Group. Not powerful..."

No one cares about the failed hero, and no one cares about the sacrifices made by good people before.

Just because the heroes became ordinary people, just because the United Group, which had been dedicated to charity, gradually began to be overwhelmed, people criticized it as a show and denounced all the kindness they had given before.

At this moment, the white tower in my heart collapsed.

I know that the image Boss Rabbit saw for me must be biased towards the evil of human nature. There are many kind people in the world, but I haven't seen them. But just seeing these evil people is enough to make me feel at a loss.

...what should mother do?

...If I come back here, I will be an ordinary person who has been cleared. I am a single-parent family with no reliable relatives or superior friends. Our priority must be very low - how can such an ordinary family get her treatment? She will soon be brain dead.

The boss rabbit seemed satisfied with the change in my expression, and spit out evil words with its soft tongue: "Dear player... I have some contact with Edward from the United Group. You know, he is that noble prince, with a higher background than you." A mediocre person is a thousand times stronger... As long as he opens his mouth, saving your mother is just a matter of words, and she will even receive the best care and treatment. All this... just requires your nodding."

It understands human nature too well.

Faced with such a choice, no one can shake their head.

I couldn't shake my head, my neck seemed to be frozen, my eyes were shaking wildly, my lips were trembling, and I couldn't say a word. If I shake my head, it's a desperate ending in sight.

Just one word from Edward can save my mother, who I will never get back in my lifetime. And his simple words... actually changed my life's future.

We were in a stalemate in the void for a long time, clenching and releasing our fists, and I roared:

"——Why on earth do you like me!!"

"——Why on earth don't you let me go——!!"

"——Why! Why do I have to become a person with a special status? Why do I have to stay away from my hometown!! I am from the Dragon Kingdom. Don’t you know how much the people of the Dragon Kingdom love their relatives and friends? Why do I have to become a lonely alien? Traveler! I just want to go home with my mom!!"

I saw its eyes move, and the luster revealed an inorganic coldness. Although its expression was close, I could read extreme indifference.

"Dear player, you have to figure it out..." Boss Rabbit's voice dropped two degrees: "It's not that we won't let you go, but that we have given you the opportunity to save your mother now. Otherwise, you should know that you What will you face when you return?"

"The rule of chaos, selfish adventure players, indifferent escapist casual players, and cold spectators on the Internet. Your mother will not get treatment, and you can only watch her gradually become brain-dead."

"It's not us who make you face this choice, but your fellow humans - they blocked your way from the beginning. It was them who gave up on ordinary people like you and your mother. Even if you give up Let’s not talk about the United Group, but those humans who only care about gossiping… are not worth remembering.”

"Who gave you rebirth, and who despises your mother?"

Its voice is low and its words are heartfelt. It was like a cold blade, pricking my fiery heart that was obsessed with goodness with holes, and my heart began to fall.

I have never gotten over this nightmare of a day.

What happened on this day was recalled over and over again in my mind, accompanied by the broken white tower in my heart.

Rainbow Cat was knocked to the bottom of the cliff, and the Master of Blue Rabbit Palace could not find him.

I began to fear the evil of human nature, even though I once believed so much in goodness.

——As long as you stop loving, you won’t be hurt?

——As long as you protect yourself, you won’t be hit hard by the one you love?

I made my choice.

I left behind the Zhai Xing humans I once loved - I could no longer believe in "goodness". I can't put my mother's life as a bet on their kindness.

I personally broke the white tower in my heart.

I agreed to the organizer. My mother quickly received excellent treatment, and I stepped into a new world alone, separated from my identity as a player.

This is a world called the Old World.

I don’t know how many copies of World Games it will become. Before I left, World Games had only reached the sixth copy of White Sand Paradise.

In this world, I was born in a slum, grew up in a rough way, and became a famous adventurer when I was a teenager. I measured the earth with my own footprints and visited many cities, trying to find every bit of the atmosphere of my hometown, even if it was just a resemblance, it would make me feel nostalgic for the hometown I could not return to.

but none.

Although this world is indeed very similar to Zhai Xing, with computers and televisions. But after all, it is not a familiar country, and there is no atmosphere to celebrate the New Year. At the end of the year, I sat in front of the window and made myself fireworks. I listened to the crackling of fireworks under the icicles on the eaves, and the colorful colors reflected in my eyes. In a trance, I seemed to have returned to the small house filled with the smell of Lantern Festival. My mother came towards me with braised mandarin fish.

This place is so similar to Zhai Xing that it makes me feel trance-like, but I know very clearly that this place is not it.

I can never return to my beloved hometown.

Fortunately, Duiying above the starry sky learned about my relationship with the organizer, and Duiying was very interested in me. He often shows me images of my mother’s recovery in the Lord God’s world. I don't know how he got it. After all, he is a high-dimensional person and should be able to observe the world game.

The monthly communication with Duiying has become the only reason for me to live. I am eager to see the game situation on Zhai Xing's side, eager to see my mother gradually recover, eager to see the first player becoming stronger and stronger... Due to the different speed of time, even if I only watch it once a month, It looks very smooth.

The seventh world Praia, the eighth world Dome...

Time gradually passed, and my age became in my early teens. When I was about to see the ninth world, I stopped looking at the shadow and said, "If you want to see your mother again, you have to do things for me."

I asked, what happened?

Dieying smiled mysteriously: "I will tell you in the future. As long as you complete the task I gave you, I can reunite you and your mother safely."

The long-dead seedlings in my heart blossomed into thousands of flowers at this moment.

If this were the case, my mother wouldn’t be depressed all the time in the Lord God’s world. We can live together, celebrate the New Year together, make fireworks together, and have New Year's Eve dinner together... She has always wanted to come to me.

I can't resist this temptation. It's impossible for a child to give up loving his mother.

I couldn't bear the thought that after one year, I would never see her again.

He understands human nature so well.

Faced with such a choice, no one can shake their head. I agreed to Overlay.

…

Three years before the Heavenly Generation, I was a famous adventurer in a thousand miles around. A guy who calls himself the "Old God" came to me and hoped that I could become his partner in something called the "Millennium Project."

When I first saw him, I was shocked - why does this guy have Su Mingan's face?

"Why do you look like this? Don't you have your own face?" I asked in shock.

He stroked his cheek: "How do you understand that this is the most perfect face in the world."

I became interested: "Then let's play a game of Russian Roulette. If you lose, you have to tell me why you have this face."

Unfortunately, I lost the Russian roulette and lost myself, becoming the person in charge of the Millennium Project.

In the year 0 of the Heavenly Generation, the third world game begins. This made me dumbfounded - I was actually playing a world game within a world game. Fortunately, I am a strong player and have achieved many perfect passes.
