First Player

Chapter 1319 Chapter One Thousand Three Hundred and Fourteen·Devil Line·"Flower of Cursed Fire."

Tick ​​tock, tick tock, tick tock.

The bronze second hand swayed silently, and a cup of tea that had already gone cold was hanging on the table.

The first ray of morning light fell along the window pane, and Su Mingan sat on the bed. As his eyes opened and closed, his somewhat distracted expression gradually condensed.

"Adu, tell the time," he said.

Adu's voice came out diligently: "An Jiang! It's the sixth day of the dungeon (April 7, 2025), 6:40 in the morning! A new day has begun, I wish you a good mood!"

It seems that he went back to this morning.

…

[——From the arrival of the red sun: 5 hours and 20 minutes. 】

…

In order to survive the red sun, Su Mingan took action.

He stretched out his hand, and the white mark on his palm swelled——

The next moment, he was standing on a wasteland. The sky was a monotonous gray-white color, and the earth was barren of grass.

——This is his "little world".

In the initial world, there was nothing. As the "Creator God", he can freely outline this place.

At this time, a colorful candy cube flew out of his pocket, with a pair of white ear feathers growing out, and Si Que's voice came out: "Mr. Lighthouse, let me teach you how to build a small world."

In order to survive the Red Sun, the first step is to make the small world habitable, at least as a temporary refuge for humans.

It's unclear whether Si Que knows about Su Ming'an's return. Maybe no matter what, Si Que will come to give guidance.

"So the sugar cube is your microphone..." Su Mingan looked at the sugar cube.

"Yes. Although I am in a dream, I can transmit my voice through the sugar cube. But if you are greedy and eat the candy, now I will be talking in your belly." Sugar cube circled Su Ming'an.

Su Mingan watched silently.

Rotate the sugar cube for 1 minute.avi.

Su Mingan stretched out his right hand.

At this moment, standing in the small world, he suddenly felt that he controlled everything, as if the entire world of the small world was within the opening and closing of his palm. The brilliance condensed in his hand and turned into a pure black quill, similar in shape to Si Que's purple-gold quill.

"As the God of Creation, this is your own creation." Fang Tang said, "You can start to use your imagination, God of Creation."

Su Ming'an was self-taught without a teacher, waved his quill, and imagined in his mind——

The sky should be blue.

There are thousands of earth... The earth should be yellow-green.

In an instant.

"Wow——"

Along with his fantasy, azure blue suddenly spread radially from the top of his head, smearing the entire sky.

"Cuchuchu, chuchuchu——"

There was a soft sound like the wind blowing in the birch forest in my ears, and clusters of yellow-green grass sprouted under my feet, extending into the distance like a blazing prairie fire, dyeing the earth completely yellow in the blink of an eye.

Looking at this miraculous scene, Su Mingan once again realized that he was really the "Creator" of the small world.

This feeling of being omnipotent and creating everything is in line with his stereotype of "god".

Those who play werewolf in Trilli Town, those who are reincarnated and imprisoned in the black wall, those who marry every day in his dimension, those who dress up as Noel in the old world, those who pick up rags and wander around in the universe... Comparing this, It really can’t be called “god”.

"We have officially entered the first step." Fang Tang said:

"The first step in the creation of the world - [conceiving a big map]."

"For example, if you want the small world to develop into a world with developed water civilization, it is best to set a very broad ocean at the beginning."

Su Mingan asked: "What if I not only hope that water civilization will develop, but even hope that a magical water civilization similar to Atlantis will appear?"

Fang Tang said: "You can bring 'magic' elements into the small world, such as the Kraken corpses you picked up in Praia, the tentacled monsters you picked up in the old world... Put these things into your In this small world, a magical water civilization may be born.”

Su Mingan seemed to have a clear understanding: "It's like making a pot of broth. If you want to make it tomato-flavored, you need to add a lot of tomatoes. If you want to make it salty, you need to add a lot of salt and bacon."

Sugar Cube: "...Yes."

It turns out that building a world is similar to cooking.

Su Ming'an realized.

It seems that it is not difficult.

He rummaged through his backpack and found a Cursed Fire Flower Seed, which was given to him by Siboer. Seeing this seed, he couldn't help but think of the girl in red robe. If he ascended in Rawasha... maybe he could return to the Sky to see her.

"Plant it, this is the first alien plant in your little world." said Fang Tang.

Su Mingan buried the seeds on the ground.

At this moment, the information panel appeared.

…

【Small world·? (Unnamed)]

[Item: Cursed Fire Flower]

[Direction: Magical Side]

[Elements: Curse, Fire Element, Plants, Emotional Power]

[Estimated growth time: longer]

…

Next is the second step of creation - [Establishing the logical framework and world rules]

Su Mingan asked: "What are the rules of the world?"

Sugar Cube answered: "For example, some worlds believe that being naked is a virtue, but some worlds believe that being naked is wrong. For another example, water can extinguish flames, but in some worlds, water has no effect on flames. These are 【World Rules】.

Su Mingan understood: "Then I can also..."

Sugar Cube said: "Yes, you can also set your little world as follows: being naked is a virtue."

Su Mingan: "I didn't think so."

Sugar Cube: "Oh."

Su Mingan: "Since [world rules] refer to 'water can extinguish fire' and 'being naked is wrong'... then 'eating people is wrong', does this count as a world rule?

Fang Tang nodded:

"Calculate."

At this moment, Su Mingan suddenly felt cold hands and feet.

Naravasa’s food chain…

Does it come from the world rule that ‘eating people is right’?

When most civilizations develop to a certain level, they will naturally know that "cannibalism is wrong." Prions will be found in the brains of the same kind, which can kill if eaten.

But in Luowasha...Su Mingan had never heard of the concept of prions. It’s as if the concept that ‘eating humans is wrong’ has long since disappeared, and so has the concept of prions. People have even discovered that eating people can increase their strength.

Put it on Zhai Xing, put it on the sky, put it on the ruined world... this is simply impossible. Besides pica, who would actively eat people? Not only is it not beneficial, it is also not as tasty as ordinary livestock. But in Rovasha, this has become a "feature". When it comes to Rawasha, people think of the food chain and eating jellyfish. It turns out that this is because of the [World Rules].

Next, enter the third step of creation - [Place initial life. 】

Commonly known as "writing character".

Logically speaking, the world's first life should begin with cyanobacteria and bacteria, but due to time constraints, Si Que suggested starting directly with humans.

"I... created humans?" Su Mingan pointed at himself.

"You are already a C-level creator and have unlocked the [Create Supporting Role] function. Of course you can." Fang Tang said.

Su Mingan looked at his quill.

At this moment, he thought of Lotasha who looked desperate before she died, Klimans who committed suicide, and Kasadia who smiled... These are all characters created by Si Que.

Thinking of the way they were chasing after Olivias with resentment on their faces...he felt numb.

He doesn't want to become the second generation Sique.

However, if you think about it carefully, those people's resentment is all because Si Que is too sea king. Everyone loves him, but he is not a sea king at all, so it should be fine.

"Can you just write one?" Su Mingan raised the pen.

"Write at least four." Fang Tang said with a smile: "One [protagonist], one [supporting actor], one [female], and one [supporting role of the gender of Walmart shopping bag]."

Su Mingan pondered.

"Building a character from scratch is too difficult for novices. I suggest you start by imitating it," Fang Tang said.

"Imitate..." Su Mingan picked up the pen.

"For example, imitate your friends. If you follow the example of a gourd, it will be much easier." Fang Tang said.

Su Mingan nodded.

Following Lu Shu's template - Su Mingan wrote a [supporting actor].

He has white hair, green eyes, a resolute and stubborn temperament, his thoughts are to pursue "good people", and he can use a knife.

Following Yueyue's template - Su Mingan wrote a [supporting actress].

He has black hair, black eyes, and a cute and kind-hearted personality. He wants to practice swordplay, play games, and loves to eat chocolate.

Following Liming's template - Su Mingan wrote a [supporting role of the gender of a Walmart shopping bag].

He has white hair and white eyes, has an indifferent and rational temperament, and thinks about calculating all things. He can do math problems and riddle people.

These are extremely simplified versions, basically only writing a few keywords. Fang Tang clicked his tongue at the side: "When I was 12 years old, I could write a 1,000-word character design. I could even design five princesses and four devils."

It means that Su Mingan is too new.

"Yes, so when you are thousands of years old now, you are still being hunted by the character you wrote when you were 12 years old." Su Mingan said.

Cube Tang stopped talking.

The last step is to write the [Protagonist].

"I think your teammate Burris is pretty good. You can imitate him and write a [protagonist]." Fang Tang said, "Alternatively, Looking North is also pretty good."

Su Mingan raised his pen: "What qualities does [the protagonist] need to possess? Perseverance? Bravery? Intelligence? Never wavering?"

He thought of many words of praise in his mind, as if he wanted to pile all the most gorgeous words on the protagonist to be worthy of such an identity.

But Fang Tang shook his head: "No need."

"Need not?"

"[The protagonist] does not need any hard requirements, nor does he impose any qualities."

"Why?" Su Mingan was confused.

“Some [protagonists] are just and brave, always walking on a passionate road; some [protagonists] are weak and incompetent, with friends dying constantly, but no growth is seen; some [protagonists] are cunning, sanctimonious, and selfish... …But this does not affect them becoming [protagonists].”

"Why? Do such people deserve to be the center of civilization?"

"Why not?" Fang Tang said: "This is not a moral trial. What determines who can become the [protagonist] is just who the civilization's narrative anchor falls on."

In Luowasha, the narrative anchor has always fallen on the great man, then to Sique, then to Su Liujin, and now to Su Ming'an.

The meaning of narrative anchor is "camera".

Everything is presented from the perspective of the protagonist, but this does not mean that the protagonist must be a perfect person - of course, a perfect person is more suitable to be the protagonist.

After thinking for a moment, Su Mingan put down the pen and ink.

…

[Black hair, black eyes. 】

…

Sugar Cube spun around Su Mingan a few times: "What then?"

Su Mingan put away his pen: "That's enough."

He wants the [protagonist] to develop independently.

He felt that there was no strength in his whole body, and creating new creatures required a lot of energy, not to mention that he created four at once.

Soon, a human figure gradually appeared, with black hair, black eyes, soft almond eyes, light lips, pure white clothes...

Fang Tang looked at Su Mingan in surprise: "When someone creates a character, they will invest in their own ideal phantom. Is this your dream lover?"

Su Mingan was speechless: "No."

The [Protagonist] in front of me is a girl with black hair and black eyes, who looks somewhat similar to Su Ming'an.

She just appeared on the barren ground, looking around blankly, as if she didn't know the meaning of her birth. Like the first primate life to awaken to wisdom.

Behind her are a young man with white hair and green eyes, a swordsman girl with black hair, and a genderless person with white hair and white eyes—this is the original configuration of the protagonists of the small world. They are the first human beings in this world, and they have similar blank faces. Even if you want to communicate, you can only make fragmented sounds.

Perhaps, they are not yet standard beings, because the small world is too primitive and not enough to breed a complete life with high intelligence. They are more like a wandering soul that has not yet been finalized.

Su Ming'an used up the last of his strength to create some basic living supplies, and was forced to withdraw from the small world and lie on the bed.

...Is it too late?

According to this progress, when the red sun comes, the small world will probably still be in its primitive period.

"Time flows very fast in the small world. Maybe you will be able to witness changes soon." Fang Tang said.

Su Mingan raised his hand.

So, next...

Fifteen light spots appeared on the watch - those were the locations of fifteen important people.

Lu Shu, Noel, Su Lin, Lu, Yamada Machichi, Beiwang, Luna, Isabella, Lin Yin, Aini, Burris, Alger, Zhao Yuan, Yi Song, Mizushima Kawakora.

Next, he needs to choose one of the people and record everything that person encountered before the red sun came.

Some melted sugar cubes fell on his shoulders.

"Please choose your hero."
