Urban Sims

Chapter 255 Summary
……

"Drip~"

"The character has died and is exiting the game..."

……

open one's eyes.

Sitting on the bed, after a full hour, the severe pain in my head completely subsided, and the picture in front of me became clear and real.

Back to reality.

"Hey, where is this?"

Zhou Ming found that the place where he was lying was not in a rented room, but in a hospital ward full of the smell of disinfectant.

How did I come to the hospital?
Then I looked at the electronic board hanging on the wall to show the time: August 8th, 27:21 in the evening.

Pulling out the infusion tube inserted into his wrist, he fell to the ground tremblingly. Zhou Ming found a toilet and took a urination.

Floating on his feet and as light as a swallow, Zhou Ming saw his appearance clearly in the mirror of the bathroom sink after finishing his toilet.

thin.

Very thin.

With sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, glistening ribs, sunken eye sockets, and a tired expression, he looks a bit like a heavy drug addict.

Lost at least 20 pounds.

"I've only been in the game for 120 years. How come I'm so skinny? I'm much thinner than the last time I entered the game."

Immediately, Zhou Ming's expression became clear again.

In the last round, he only had some achievements in the field of cooking, and he didn't actually learn a lot, so the consumption was not so exaggerated.

In this round, he fought against the Balancer for 52 years in Area 30; in the upper area, in the game circle, he had a peak intellectual duel with top wise men... These mental consumption is definitely not something that can be described by a few catties of flesh .

"In the future, when playing games, you will need to use more indigenous brains. No matter how smart a real brain is, it will not be enough. One day has passed in reality, and 20 years have passed in the game. How can a real brain complete such a large amount of tasks?"

Now that he was sent to the hospital, Su Yuxiang had to send him to the hospital because he was so skinny.

Back in the ward, sitting by the bed, Zhou Ming opened the game panel in his mind——

Mission Map: "Empire of Money"

Game character: Fang Yuanjie
Money: 0 (you have a lot and end up with nothing)
Lifespan: 121 (Your lifespan exceeds 87% of people, you are a rare long-lived person)
Achievements obtained: 0
Game evaluation: F (You have crossed four strata from the bottom area to the civilian area, the upper area, and the top area, and you have a wealth of more than [-] billion, but in the end you fall short. It’s not that you didn’t work hard enough, but that you were on a cliff road , you can't miss a step)
Highest achievement: 2860014 (the next level can be opened after the copy is perfectly cleared)

"F rating, it's been a long time since I got such a low rating. The rules of "Empire of Money" are really cruel, and it will return to zero at every turn."

Shaking his head, in fact, in Zhou Ming's system warehouse, there is still 10 money accumulated in the previous game, and 52 million money accumulated in the 3000 civilian area in this game, all of which are not used in the warehouse space. With this amount of money, he can at least get an evaluation above A level.

There is also a large amount of medical technical data, about 30 remaining slave potions, 70% of the technical data of the brain of God... etc. The total harvest is at least ten times that of the previous round.

It stands to reason that Zhou Ming should be very satisfied. Although he still failed in this round, he broke through from the bottom area all the way to the top area. In just over 100 years, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a monster... But there was no joy on his face.

Even in my heart, I regret like never before.

"Cheaters...cheating, if there is no cheating, maybe the result will be better?"

Zhou Ming was reflecting. When he was in the bottom area, if he didn't go out of his way to install those ordinary miners, he wouldn't be so passive in the future if he didn't get targeted at the beginning.

Participating in "The Hunger Games" and killing an attack group of 18 people, in order to save time and improve efficiency, he still cheated. He wore smart glasses and took out the ice needle gun and anesthesia gun from the system warehouse, which exposed his abilities.

After going to Area 52, not to mention, he was able to succeed, the master did not intervene, it was completely intentional observation, and it was just intentional release of water, but he did not escape the surveillance for a day.

In the top floor area, the monitoring is less intensive and the activities are a little more free, but the game city surrounded by the sky screen system still exposes a lot of whereabouts.

The Dominator didn't attack him until he entered the top floor area and killed the five desireless people. This was because his IQ had dropped a few drops, and the game of cat and mouse could no longer be played, so he had no choice but to attack.

Zhou Ming thought he was taking the initiative, but in fact, he was always being passive. From the very beginning, there was no possibility of clearing the level.

"In the ground floor area, no matter how much nonsense is going on, don't dig that tunnel, win the killing competition in the normal way, and kill the 18-person attack team at the Gate of Heaven, then I won't be targeted..."

"If you are in Area 52, start with the catering field first, earn the first pot of gold, spend an extra ten years to complete the original accumulation, and save 10 yuan, then go to the upper area, maybe the balancer will not come down ..."

"When you get to the upper area, if you don't go to those subordinates, start playing games earlier, save more money, and strengthen your brain earlier..."

"If you don't go to the top floor area so early, if you and her..."

forget about it.

forget about it!
Zhou Ming suddenly grabbed the hair on his head and shook his head violently.

One wrong step, one wrong step!

One step wrong, step by step wrong!

He is too impatient!Too much reliance on system space to cheat, too much want to take the shortcut to reach the destination the fastest!

The question is, in that world, where are there so many shortcuts?
Before there is no canopy system to monitor blind spots, where can we be lucky?
He has formed a dependence on the system for many things that do not need to be done by cheating, and he always feels that there will be no problems. The result?

Challenge copy, not just talk.

Opportunity will not necessarily reduce its difficulty, but will increase the difficulty and expose cheating fingers.

"Next time, when I enter this dungeon again, I won't make such naive and low-level mistakes again. The system warehouse has brought me a lot of help, but it must not be used as the biggest basis for clearing the game."

"Cheating can gain an advantage, but in the end, you still have to rely on yourself to pass the level! You have to rely on your real skills!"

This is the most profound lesson that Zhou Ming summed up in this round.

There was a twinge in my heart.

A figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

she……

It is still so clear and vivid, the voice and smile seem to be still in front of my eyes, even if the memory is cleared, it cannot be cleared.

Scanning again, in the system warehouse, the heart-shaped sapphire, unknowingly, two lines of tears gushed out of the corners of its eyes.

"Dream Heart..."

why are you so stupid

why are you coming back
You clearly know that we belong to two worlds.

You... hey!

Zhou Ming heaved a long sigh. He originally thought that after being with her, through spiritual perspective, this woman who could see almost everything about him, a woman who understood him, would heal some scars in his heart, emotional scars.

As a result, the old wounds healed, but the new wounds were deeper and more painful than those old wounds.

She who didn't want to be a passerby really lived in his heart forever.

forget?

It is impossible to forget, as long as that sapphire remains there, that name will be engraved in his soul.

"If you do this, the next time I enter the game, how should I face you? How should I face the specious you? Will you heal me again? Or will I be hurt by you again?"

Zhou Ming shook his head. This is the cruelty of "The Sims": you can't be emotional to the characters in the game, and there's no guarantee that you won't be dehumanized by this game.

"When "Empire of Money" is cleared, I will absolutely, absolutely not go in and experience it myself, or I will go crazy sooner or later!"

……

three days later.

There were no major problems in various physical examinations. Zhou Ming, who lost only 25 catties, was discharged from the hospital.

Sitting in the car, on the way back, Su Yuxiang, who was driving, complained all the way, saying that he only cared about his dreams and didn't consider her feelings, especially during the two days on the 25th and 26th, she really doubted whether he would She would lose weight, so she had to send him to the hospital. She was so worried that she didn't close her eyes for three days, and asked him if he could cure this disease in the future, otherwise she would really collapse!

"sorry for bothering you."

Zhou Ming apologized to the woman, lowered his head, looked at the heart-shaped sapphire in his hand, stroked it, felt the faint temperature on it, fell into a burst of memories, unconsciously, his eyelids were covered with mist again.

Only after leaving, did I realize that she was so important in my heart.

Seeing the man's sudden change of appearance, Su Yuxiang was stunned, the complaints on her lips disappeared, and she looked astonished.

sorry?
He actually... said such words to her.

A knife pierced her heart.

Suddenly, she felt that this man was so strange and distant.

In the dream, what exactly did he experience?
