Online Games Barbarism and Civilization

April 1st, 34th year of Savagery, is April Fool’s Day in the game.

Unlike previous April Fools' Days, this April Fools' Day has attracted worldwide attention.

When the game just started, countless dazzling white lights immediately appeared in the night sky south of the Yangtze River in Huaxia District.

Only players can see these white lights, because the appearance of each white light means that a player has died.

Before, even on the most intense battlefield, there had never been so much white light at the same time.

In the Huaxia District at this time, the dazzling white light kept flashing from the moment the game just started, lighting up the entire night sky. This situation lasted for several minutes before gradually beginning to converge, until finally Back to normal.

Afterwards, according to statistics from some players in the Adventurer World who were full and had nothing to do, at least a few million Chinese players were reborn in the Adventurer World during the few minutes when the white light was the densest.

In other words, not long after the game started, millions of players in China's south of the Yangtze River chose to kill themselves.

Although many foreign players knew that there was no suspense about the Condor Empire's unification of China, Ning Yuan was able to disintegrate the remaining hostile forces in one fell swoop, causing millions of hostile players to commit collective suicide, which they never expected. .

Is Ning Yuan's personality charm really so great?

The answer is of course no.

Not to mention Ning Yuan, even among the other players who were once highly respected, no one has ever had such a charming personality.

The main reason why the players chose to kill themselves collectively at the same moment was influenced by some close people around them.

Human beings are social creatures. When a person lives in the world, he is surrounded by not only immediate family members such as parents, brothers and sisters, but also other relatively close social relationships such as colleagues, friends, confidants, and lovers.

Except for those individuals with withdrawn personalities, most people live in this network of relationships.

Father-son relationship, mother-son relationship, brother relationship, husband-wife relationship, friend relationship, neighbor relationship, etc. are all kinds of relationships that every normal person must face.

Every relationship here is very important, because it is related to whether a person's life is truly happy and complete.

So in order to maintain every relationship well,

Everyone is constantly making various concessions and compromises.

This time, Ning Yuan focused on the intricate social relationships among the players.

He directly affects the players' relatives and friends through constant hints, and then uses their relatives and friends to directly influence themselves.

In this world, unless you are a loner and don't like men or women, you must have a fatal weakness, and this weakness is the people you care about most.

Players hate Ning Yuan and can ignore Ning Yuan's various threats, but when facing those they care about most, they will often make various compromises as long as they do not harm everyone's interests.

This time, Ningyuan’s PVE island plan directly touched a large group of people and ignited their enthusiasm to build their own ideal home.

As a result, those players who were still stubbornly resisting in the areas south of the Yangtze River became a stumbling block for these people.

In order to go to a land without human war and build an ideal home as soon as possible, they must remove all stumbling blocks as soon as possible.

Even if they know that Ningyuan wants to use them to achieve unification as soon as possible, they will be willing to be used by Ningyuan, because Ningyuan has provided them with the three islands for free.

Sakhalin Island not only has special historical significance, it is also the largest island of the Russian Federation. The land area of ​​the island alone is equivalent to half of China's LN region, not to mention the fertile sea areas around the island.

Except for the relatively cold climate on Sakhalin Island, everything else is perfect.

Not to mention Taiwan Island and Hainan Island. The richness of products on these two islands is even far greater than that of Africa, where you can eat and drink without working.

Ning Yuan was able to free up these two islands, which showed that he really wanted to make peace with the Chinese players, and even had a hint of flattery.

Now that Ning Yuan has shown enough sincerity, they can't let Ning Yuan's hot face touch their cold buttocks.

What's more, it is a foregone conclusion that the Condor Empire will unify China. No matter how reluctant they are, it is impossible to change this result.

When it was impossible to change the outcome, they asked those relatives and friends who were still hostile to Ning Yuan on the earth to withdraw in time. Not only would it not harm anyone's interests, but it would also create a win-win situation for Ning Yuan and them.

So between waiting and win-win, they decisively chose win-win. So when the game restarted, the spectacular scene from before appeared in the area south of the Yangtze River in China.

...

In a small forest on the bank of the Xiangjiang River in ZZ, Hunan, Li Tiancheng, Huang Guangzong, and Li Chengfeng were sitting on the grass with dejected faces.

At this time, ZZ and XT's cities were filled with corpses left behind by players who committed suicide. Looking at the miserable scene, they couldn't stay there for a second, so the three of them met and came to this relatively quiet grove. discuss countermeasures.

"Brother Tiancheng, how is the situation over there?"

After entering the grove, Li Tiancheng remained silent. Huang Guangzong, who had been mentally prepared, could only choose to break the tranquility by himself.

“Nothing out of ten can save one, and most players have chosen to commit suicide on the spot.

And even as I left, the suicides continued.

Affected by the previous players who committed suicide, the remaining players were gradually unable to bear the huge psychological pressure.

Before the game restarts, I have already given psychological precautions to some key players.

It's a pity that in the face of those players who keep committing suicide, their psychological defenses are collapsing bit by bit, and many people's faces are already filled with deathly silence without knowing it.

I estimate that after tonight, there won’t even be a few thousand people left on my side.

Because in that kind of atmosphere, not to mention the players, even I felt breathless. "

Li Tiancheng smiled miserably and recounted the scene he saw after dawn.

"well!"

After listening to Li Tiancheng's story, Huang Guangzong suddenly sighed.

"Brother Tiancheng, the situation over there is similar.

Many players seemed to have discussed it in advance. The game had just begun, and they collectively chose to commit suicide.

It was dark at the time, and the dazzling white light produced when the players committed suicide turned the night directly into day.

I'm not afraid of your jokes. I was immediately dumbfounded at that time.

Brother Tiancheng and Brother Chengfeng, in fact, when the Owl Legion that came to support us from the Alliance of Beasts was attacked, we no longer saw any hope.

But now, not only do we see no hope, we no longer even have the need to persist, because we are about to become a polished commander.

Before the game restarted, didn't a player post a piece of "Decent"?

I think it’s time for us to end all this with dignity, what do you think? "

"But I'm not willing to give in!" Li Chengfeng looked up to the sky and sighed.

Looking at Li Chengfeng with a sad face, Huang Guangzong smiled bitterly and said:

"Who can really be willing?

But what can we do if we are unwilling?

Since ancient times, it is the survival of the fittest.

Since we failed, we can only choose to accept this result, because this result cannot be changed.

In fact, we are pretty good. After all, our real strength has not reached the level where we can compete in the Central Plains.

In our Huaxia District, the people who suffer the most are Li Yufeng and Dongfang Ming.

From the beginning of the game, they have always been the most favorable contenders to compete in the Central Plains and unify China.

However, even if they finally united together, they still lost to the upstart who everyone looked down upon - Ning Yuan.

I heard that Ye Ziqing and the others have now settled down in the Adventurer World and seem to have completely accepted the outcome.

Ye Ziqing and the others can accept this result, so what can't we accept? "

"Old Huang is right, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Since we lost, we must accept this result.

Because only by constantly standing up from failure can we become stronger.

Although we suffered a complete defeat this time, compared with those failed heroes in ancient times, we are still lucky.

Because this is just a game after all, and we are not really dead.

It is said that failure is the mother of success. Only by constantly experiencing failure can we sum up various experiences from failure and finally lead to success.

We are now moving forward along this path. As for whether we can summarize useful experience and ultimately achieve success, it depends on our own destiny.

Although I think there is no hope for us in this game, we can learn some useful lessons from those successful people through God's perspective.

Experience is better than nothing, so we should officially accept this result now, and then start the learning mode to prepare for the next game in advance. "

After listening to the conversation between Huang Guangzong and Li Chengfeng, Li Tiancheng gradually felt relieved.

When he was finally able to accept this result, his mind suddenly opened up, and the ambition in his heart burned again.

"Then we also choose to commit suicide immediately?"

Seeing that Li Tiancheng said the same thing, Li Chengfeng had no choice but to accept it no matter how unwilling he was.

"Old Huang, what do you think?"

After hearing Li Chengfeng's question, Li Tiancheng looked directly at Huang Guangzong.

After thinking for a moment, Huang Guangzong said slowly: "I think even if we choose to commit suicide, we should choose the most memorable way to die.

In ancient times, Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River. Today, three of our brothers commit suicide in the Xiang River. I wonder if you two brothers have any different objections? "

"But Qu Yuan has "Li Sao", and the three of us have nothing."

Hearing that Huang Guangzong wanted to imitate Qu Yuan and throw himself into the Xiangjiang River, Li Chengfeng's face suddenly became a little confused, because they couldn't compare with Qu Yuan at all, and forcibly imitating him would only become a laughing stock.

“Hey, that’s not easy, we can compose a poem on the spot!

I came first. The imperial hegemony was in vain, and the three brothers were chatting and laughing. "

After Li Tiancheng accepted the defeat calmly, his mentality also became calm.

"A good poem, let me pick up the next line, Turn back to the bank of the Xiangjiang River.

Brother Chengfeng, I leave the last sentence to you. "

Huang Guangzong immediately looked at Li Chengfeng after finishing the third sentence.

"Okay, I'll finish it off and follow Qu Yuan's example!"

Seeing that both Li Tiancheng and Huang Guangzong had relaxed their minds, Li Chengfeng suddenly became interested and directly recited the ending.

"The emperor's hegemony came to nothing. The three brothers were chatting and laughing, turning back to the bank of the Xiangjiang River to imitate Qu Yuan's famous reputation.

What a poem, what a poem! "

"Good brothers, let's go together!"

"Go together!"

"Go together!"

Amid a burst of laughter, the three of them held hands and slowly walked into the turbulent Xiangjiang River with tears in their eyes.

...

YNKM, on the shore of Dianchi Lake.

Zhu Qi looked at the water of Dianchi Lake, which was like blue waves, and his heart was filled with melancholy.

KM City and Dianchi Lake carry countless memories of his game, and this is his home in the game.

However, the cruel reality forced him to leave the home he had fought for. This departure was likely to be a farewell forever.

Although in reality he could still return to KM and Dianchi Lake to revisit his old place, but at that time his identity could only be that of a tourist, and he would never be able to return to his former home as a host.

"President, many brothers have chosen to commit suicide on the spot. Under the influence of those brothers who committed suicide, many aboriginal soldiers have begun to become highly nervous.

Now the atmosphere in the entire KM City has been squeezed to the limit. A slight negligence may lead to a big riot! "

Just when Zhu Qi was feeling sentimental as he looked at the water of Dianchi Lake, a close player found him and brought him terrible news.

Compared with the three Jiangnan families, the situation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance is more complicated, because in the KM area, in addition to the player legions of the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance, Zhu Qi also has many aboriginal orc troops under his command.

The orc players of the Ten Thousand Beast Alliance chose to commit suicide for various reasons. Their behavior completely freed them, but it brought great panic to the unsuspecting aboriginal orcs.

Facing the "orc companions" who died for no reason around them, the aboriginal orcs were immediately frightened.

Because there are no physical scars on the players' bodies when they commit suicide, many aboriginal orcs regard this phenomenon as a curse.

This was a life-threatening curse launched on them by the lower-level orcs they slaughtered, and it was a punishment from the beast god for their brutal behavior.

When this speculation began to spread inside and outside KM City, the orcs in KM City were immediately in danger. Many orcs were on the verge of collapse due to unknown fear.

At this time, as long as the outside world brings them some stimulation, they are likely to go crazy immediately.

After listening to the report of his players, Zhu Qi smiled calmly and said: "Let them go, they will die sooner or later anyway, because Ning Yuan cannot let them go.

Li Jun, do you think we still have a chance to come back here? "

Without caring about the life and death of the aboriginal orcs, Zhu Qi directly chatted with Li Jun about Xiantian.

"President, if you are in the game, it is basically impossible to come back." Li Jun did not consider Zhu Qi's mood and directly told the truth.

"well!"

After letting out a long sigh, Zhu Qi asked again: "Then how many players do you think will be willing to follow us to develop in Africa this time?"

"If it weren't for the PVE island plan created by Ning Yuan, more than 90% of the players would choose to continue to follow us.

However, after Ningyuan’s PVE island plan, I estimate that only those players who want to go for a walk in Africa are willing to follow us there.

Moreover, there will be a large number of deserters among these players.

Because after they realize their wish to visit Africa, they will most likely go to the PVE island to play house.

President, to be honest, my girlfriend also mentioned to me yesterday that she wanted to build a fruit farm in Hainan Island, and asked me to go with her. "

As he spoke, Li Jun suddenly stopped.

Seeing Li Jun suddenly stop talking, Zhu Qi turned to look at him and asked, "What's your answer?"

"President, I'm sorry. I'm tired of the days of fighting and killing. Now I just want to go to a beautiful place with my girlfriend to plant fields, raise flowers, and experience the life of men farming and women weaving."

After finishing speaking, Li Jun immediately bowed deeply to Zhu Qi.

"Go ahead, everyone has the right to choose life, I wish you happiness."

Looking at the blue water in the distance, Zhu Qi took a deep breath.
