Savior Simulator

Gao Fei walked into the smoking area alone and sat down next to Ma Tao.

"Brother Tao, are you worried?"

Ma Tao casually pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and glanced at him listlessly.

"Nothing, just random thoughts."

After a moment of silence, Ma Tao spoke again.

"I was bored during these days in the hospital and thought about a lot of things."

Gao Fei nodded and waited for him to continue.

"When Jia Jia came to visit me the day before yesterday, she gave me a pretty commemorative book, the kind of notebook we signed each other's names when we graduated from high school. I guess she had already started to think about quitting at that time."

"She only gave you the commemorative book, which means she cares about you very much and doesn't want you to forget her." Gao Fei said softly.

Ma Tao sighed and said with emotion: "After all, Jia Jia is only 18 years old, the same age as my sister, and still retains the mentality of a high school student. It's too cruel to let a little girl like her fight against a vicious monster."

Gao Fei nodded, deeply agreeing.

Ma Tao did not mention Li Jiajia again. He took out a pink commemorative book with a girlish temperament from the storage space of the star disk, opened a page, and found it was full of words.

Gao Fei quickly turned his head to the side.

Ma Tao laughed and punched him.

"Don't pretend, kid. What's written here is not private. It's just something I scribbled when I was free."

"What's written?" Gao Fei asked curiously.

"I drew a line in the middle of the notebook, wrote the rules of the game world on the left, and the bad things in reality on the right."

Ma Tao spread out the commemorative book, laid it flat on his knees, and talked to himself non-stop.

"The logic of the game world is clear, and the clues are clear. Every foreshadowing is like a grass snake, with traces to follow and reasonable. Players need to complete the corresponding plot to upgrade. Sometimes the skills of dealing with people are more important than fighting monsters."

"The real world is a mess, there is no drama, no sense of ritual, no logical clues, and what you think is a foreshadowing is actually very likely nothing. There are no plot milestones, no negotiation checks - even if there are, you can't receive the check prompt in advance."

"You fight monsters, fight if you can beat them, and you can upgrade if you accumulate enough experience points. If you can't beat them, you die."

"In the game, an event is triggered, and a group of monsters appear. The whole story is explained to you clearly, clearly, there must be a cause and an effect, and there must be a cause and an effect."

"In reality, you can't predict what disaster will happen tomorrow, and you don't understand why some mutant mice gather in groups, while others become giant rats like blowing up balloons. No one explains to you why cats grow wings, Black dogs will turn into hellhounds. You will never understand until the day you die why some wild boars simply grow bigger and stronger, while others are like being struck by lightning and sparking with lightning all the way. "

"You can't figure it out even if I rack my brains. Why in this real world where people can't be resurrected or reloaded after death, there are such a group of stubborn idiots. The police have repeatedly banned travellers from entering areas where mutant monsters are rampant, but some people go against the rules and just want to find excitement. In the end, they still cry and shout for help from the police. "

"I can't figure it out even more. Baoding Mountain has been blocked by police officers with live ammunition. Why are there those crazy people who dream of becoming famous, racking their brains to sneak into the mountain, and in order to hype the so-called live broadcast popularity, they are crazy enough to go to the Tianchi on the top of the mountain to shoot the Nine-headed Dragon King... Tell me, this is special Is this something a normal person would do? "

"Our world is full of such people, and they can still become famous and have countless fans. Don't you think this world is particularly sick!"

"Yes, our fucking real world is more absurd and illogical than the game world no matter how you look at it. It's more like a rubbish game!"

"What's more tragic is that this is reality. We must survive in this fucking real world and weave some seemingly reasonable logic to deceive ourselves into believing that this world can still be saved. The shitty server of this rubbish game is still barely running..."

"We can only deceive ourselves like this, like a group of religious believers."

Ma Tao became more and more excited as he spoke. He suddenly closed his notebook, lit another cigarette, took two puffs, and his emotions gradually calmed down.

"Brother Fei, let me tell you the truth. If I have a choice, I would rather live in the game world forever. At least it is more in line with the rational world I imagine and more logical." After listening to Ma Tao, Gao Fei patted his shoulder and said with deep feeling: "Brother Tao, you asked me where the root of all this madness is? To put it in a pretentious way, this is capitalism, this is the consumer era, everyone is a commodity, everyone is also a consumer, this is the best era, and the worst era." Ma Tao nodded, smoked a cigarette silently, stood up and said to Gao Fei. "Brother Fei, next time on a special mission, you will be the captain." Gao Fei did not comment, just stared at him and smiled bitterly. At the end of the stalemate, Ma Tao shook his head helplessly: "If you don't want to, then forget it. I won't make it difficult for you!" ... The day after Ma Tao was discharged from the hospital, he followed Gao Fei and Jiang Feng back to his hometown. In the car, Jiang Feng learned that the destination of this trip was a tourist town under the jurisdiction of Mei County, and naturally thought of a historical celebrity. "Is this the hometown of Mr. Dongpo?"

"Su Da Huzi is my fellow villager and my idol. He is not only a good writer, but also a big foodie!" Gao Fei replied with a smile.

"I also like... Dongpo pork and Dongpo pork elbow." Jiang Feng couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"That's easy! I'll arrange it for you tonight. Dongpo pork elbow is my father's signature dish."

Gao Fei's parents received a call from their son yesterday. When they learned that he was going to bring his girlfriend home, they were so happy that they didn't sleep well all night and waited at the door early.

"Uncle and aunt, good afternoon!"

After getting off the taxi, Jiang Feng shyly went up to greet him, holding the fruit he bought on the way.

Father Gao is more introverted. He smiled and nodded without saying anything.

Gao's mother was so happy that she even said, "You're welcome, just call me Auntie!"

She took Jiang Feng's hand and looked the tall and beautiful girl up and down. She first asked her about her zodiac sign, and then asked about her family situation. She treated her as a future daughter-in-law, and her enthusiasm was too much, which made Jiang Feng quite embarrassed.

When they arrived at home, Gao's father took out his collection of good tea, brewed a pot, and poured tea for the two young people himself.

Jiang Feng was a little flattered and quickly stood up to thank him.

Gao Fei sat there drinking tea, feeling that he had benefited from Jiang Feng's help. He didn't get such high-standard treatment when he went home alone.
