King from scratch

"What did you ask just now?"

Ye Yeye recalled and said: "By the way, the king's character... I don't know much about it, he doesn't appear often. The one who contacts us most often is You, oh, You is the npc responsible for issuing tasks to us... No , in front of you, it should be said to be a human being, right?"

Ye Yeye glanced at the player a few times, not sure if he should say that another npc is an npc in front of the npc.

On the contrary, Lieshan reacted to the words that frequently appeared in their mouths: "npc?"

He glanced at the players: "Actually, I've heard you say that systems, planning, games, etc., sound like..." Lie Shan thought about the wording: "The kind of game I understand?"

The players on the sidelines broke out in whispers again.

"Damn it, is the npc awakened?"

"What a fuss, now the game is all about breaking the fourth wall with 1 bet, confusing the game and the sense of reality. These are the hot elements in the game."

"Then will he realize that he is a person in the game?"

"Damn it, what if he realizes that he is just an npc?"

"I can hear you." Hunting Mountain interrupted their whispering, and said with a blank expression: "And I suggest that you have a deeper understanding of this world."

The players stared at him with piercing eyes, looking forward to the plot of the npc's self-awareness awakening.

Hunting Mountain: "You will know where the problem is."

Lieshan was not interested in popular science for them, nor did he have the idea of ​​staging a boring drama for a group of weak beings. He paid more attention to the unfinished dialogue. He gestured to Ye Yeye and continued to ask about the kingdom's relevant information: "What happened in the kingdom recently?" What's the big deal?"

Ye Yeye thought for a few seconds: "The mine veins on the top of the mountains, the train started to run, the cooperation between dwarves and mages, the appearance of dragons..."

Hunting Mountain captured the key words: "Mage? I remember that they basically don't leave the Arcane Academy, and they don't like to cooperate with other races."

"They really don't go out very much," Ye Yeye said while seeing the system skip the warning again, crossed it out and said: "But it will still appear during class."

"Attend class?"

"It's the school," Ye Yeye reminded the other party: "Didn't I say it before? The kingdom's school is under construction."

Lie Shan faithfully pointed out the problem: "You didn't mention that the mage gave you lessons."

"There are also dwarves, druids..."

Before Ye Yeye finished speaking, the name on his head changed from green to red - in the perspective of other players.

"Fuck! I finally saw the red name!"

The players became excited for this long-lost red name, rushed forward, surrounded Ye Yeye, and asked the follow-up: "How is it? The favorability of the kingdom has become hatred? Are there any other changes? Those who switched factions Did the prompt jump out?"

Ye Yeye clicked on his personal panel, and as expected, he saw a series of reminders that the favorability was minus [-]. The favorability and reputation of the kingdom, dwarves, and npcs, which were finally brushed up, all turned into a negative [-] value in a gray locked state.

Other than that, he didn't find any other special hints, so he shook his head at the players.

The players stared at Ye Yeye puzzled.

"It shouldn't be, isn't this a change of faction?"

"Wait a minute, I remember the notice saying that if players kill each other, they can go to You to get rich rewards?"

Ye Yeye immediately became vigilant: "Isn't it, you're going to sell me back? Our cooperation has collapsed too quickly, right?"

"No, no, no." Another player said righteously: "I was just thinking, maybe I have to die once at the hands of the hostile forces before continuing to the next link of switching camps?"

"It makes sense. For example, after dying, you can resurrect in this camp, and then go to the plot line of abandoning the dark and turning to the light. You can change the camp after you finish."

"This sounds like the logic of the planning of this game. After all, the planning is simply a plot madman. Even the appearance of NPCs must follow the plot."

Ye Yeye thinks there is something wrong with this logic, do you need to die once if you change camp?It's a bit too complicated no matter what, right?

But under the discussion of the players, they reached a consensus out of a reasonable judgment that the planner had a brain hole.

Lieshan watched the group of players right in front of him, and killed the informer—in a way the informer was willing to do.

Hunting Mountain has never seen such a race. While having no loyalty to the country and no reverence for the king, it also has the unique madness of the undead who has no mercy for life.

Combining these three qualities together, Hunting Mountain seemed to understand why their king dared to ignore such a huge power gap and provoke the Diman Empire.

For the undead, the endless life is more like a curse, which makes the undead bear a heavy past. While the skin is alive, the heart has long been dead.

They are waiting for the death that will not come, and have no interest in all the changes in the world. All these things that are of great significance to short-lived species are just common scenery in endless life to them.

Therefore, the floating abyss and the canyon of the undead, the two areas where the undead are located, are invisible to everyone's sight all the year round. Although they exist, they basically have no sense of existence.

But this new race of undead is completely opposite. Not only are their hearts not withered, they are even full of human shortcomings, and they have an amazing interest in everything.

It is only by imagination that one can foresee what this race will look like in war.

An enemy that won't die completely, is very scary.

But an enemy that won't die completely and is even insane...is enough to become a nightmare for any country.

"Hurry up, I don't know where the resurrection point is..." Ye Yeye earnestly told the players: "Let's go through the story together later."

With a flash of white light, Ye Yeye disappeared.

The players looked left and right for a long time, but they didn't wait for Ye Yeye to come back. They waited for a post in which those who heard it cried and those who saw it were sad.

"Is gm here?Come out and give an explanation! "

[First explain my identity, Ye Yeye himself, I have searched for all the contact methods, but I can't find any contact information that can contact the game planner, and I have not received any feedback after private messages with His Majesty the King and relevant departments, so I have no choice but to come here Posted, anyway, this is half an official forum, is there any administrator who can solve my problem? 】

[GM: Come here, come here, what do you want from me? 】

[?We still have GM in this game?I do not know how? 】

[The gm above is a fake. 】

【Yeye himself? {Leaning back} The hot post is scheduled, I will grab a front row first. 】

【Yeye himself?It's all here, let's go after putting up the incense sticks. 】

【Yeye himself?Then I understand your feelings very well...]

【Yeye himself?Who is this?Why was I abandoned by the times after not surfing the Internet for half a day?Come to an old man to give me some science. 】

[Guiding video website "After the red name is blocked after the resurrection point..." "What makes a hundred and eighty big men take turns to do this kind of thing to an unarmed man? ", "The Tragic Game Scene", "Revealing the Story Behind Ye Yeye's Red Name", "In-Depth Interpretation of Holographic Game Faction Issues"]

[Fuck, the one who was blocked by the npc and revived is you, brother?Why can't you think about it so much? 】

[Brother, let’s face the reality, this account is useless. 】

[Awe-inspiring, a true warrior who dares to face the dripping blood. 】

[Watched the video, what the fuck? The npc's fighting power is too strong, right? 】

[I've never seen an npc run so fast. 】

[The npc is more proficient in the operation of killing people, guarding corpses and burying resurrection points than players. 】

[How many times has this died? 】

[If you go online now, you can still see npcs guarding the corpses at the resurrection point. 】

[What kind of hatred is this? 】

[The red name dares to appear in the city, and the npc can't justify it if it doesn't kill you. 】

[Landlord:? ? ?Am I the one who wants to appear in the city?This game is just a resurrection point!No matter where you die, you have to be resurrected here. 】

[No matter where he died... There is a version that Ye Yeye died in the Diman Empire. There is no resurrection point there? 】

【Original: If the Diman Empire has a resurrection point, do you think I will end up like this? 】

[I don't know why, it sounds even more sad...]

[Is it really Ye Yeye himself?Hurry up, share, how did you do it? 】

[Landlord:?Sprinkle salt in the wound? 】

[Idle is idle, let's satisfy the curiosity of the people who eat melons. 】

[So the Kingdom really organized a mission to the Diman Empire?Fuck, then you are very lucky, you can open new maps here. 】

[This was too unexpected. I'm still going through the plot with the dwarves and I can't participate in the new plot at all. 】

【is not that right?Most of the players are here with the dwarves. I remember that a few new players stayed in Novice Village because they did not meet the conditions for participating in the main mission. 】

[If I knew I would stay, who would have thought that the main mission would sound so exciting, but it would end up like this...]

[Look at Ye Yeye's end, be rational, I choose dwarves. 】

[Original: Fuck, there is nothing to say, I just thought that the sky was high and the earth was far away, and finally I was able to change camps, but I found out that I was thinking too much, the player is locked to the kingdom, and there is no possibility of changing camps at all,]

[So the Diman Empire is the enemy camp. 】

[So the Diman Empire has no resurrection point. 】

【...It can only be said that the landlord is really a warrior. 】

[It feels like the public beta is coming soon, please wait patiently for the host, and re-apply for an account when the public beta begins, this account will be considered obsolete. 】

[The question is, the helmet of this game is bound after use, can the landlord activate the second account? 】

【Fuck? 】

【Fuck? 】

After swiping the screen in a row, someone finally broke the endless copy and paste.

[I remember that the mission prompt said that if you betray the kingdom during the war, you will be expelled... Isn't this expulsion co-authored from the kingdom, but directly from the game? 】

【Under normal circumstances, I would think that this line of thinking is nonsense, but considering the consistent style of this game planning, it is really hard to say...】

[I helped you @gm, no thanks. 】

[Although I don't understand consumer protection rights, this kind of behavior violates consumer rights, right? 】

[I guess the upstairs must have forgotten, this game is not yet profitable, where are the consumers? 】

[Unless it is never profitable, we are legally protected consumers. 】

[But it's not profitable right now, and it's still a game run in cooperation with the state...]

[Then I'll help you @gm. 】

When the popularity of the post remained high and the influence continued to spread, Ye Yeye finally got an official response to his appeal.

[Relevant departments: The game is still in internal testing, which may cause some players to lose their gaming experience. We regret this very much. 】

[? ? ?Can someone translate this sentence for me? 】

【Calling you to death, you deserve it. 】

[Let's talk about it, let's talk about it, we won't change it anyway. 】

[The simple summary is, sorry, your account is gone. 】

[Is it so direct? 】

[You can see that they have made the game experience so messy, do they have any intention of changing it? 】

[Anyway, there is no charge, the official attitude is very obvious, if you like to play or not, how many people will wait in line for an internal test account. 】

[Hey, why am I so angry, everyone can't be tough and let's go to the official? 】

[Who is it?official?Want me to help you @related departments? 】

[Fuck, it's the first time I found out that the official is really official. 】

[Forget it, forget it, the sun will never rise again. 】

[So... the lesson from the past is there, everyone understands Hongming's fate, right? 】

[Understood, I was born as a member of the kingdom, and died as a ghost of the kingdom, no one can separate me from the kingdom. 】

Nubida and Anuda waited until the players returned, and were surprised to find that there was one less player.

"Is there another one who hasn't come back?"

Players who just learned about the latest news from the forum gathered together and whispered.

"You are not here, can you receive generous rewards from other npcs?"

"Try it."

Therefore, some players stepped forward, held their heads high and said to Nubida and Anuda: "Yayye betrayed the kingdom, we killed him."

Nubida and Anuda looked at each other, then turned to look at the player with his head held high.

For an undead, death is far from the end.

Nubida: "What about others?"

The player felt a little guilty: "It should be resurrected in the kingdom, right?"

Anudha changed the question: "Has he betrayed the kingdom?"

Players will.

"He leaked information about the kingdom to Hunting Mountain."

Nubida thought for two seconds. Based on their understanding of the players, it was not normal for only one player to leak information about the kingdom to the Diman Empire.

It is a natural development for all players to betray together.

Nubida: "How do you know?"

"We saw it."

Nubida looked at Anuda again.

Nubida confirmed with the players: "So you watched him betray the kingdom and then killed him?"

"That's right. To defend the glory of the kingdom!"

There is no credibility at all when these words come out of their mouths.

The devil couldn't understand: "Then why didn't you betray?"

This is a good question, and it blatantly expresses his distrust of players.

Of course, the players obviously don't think there is anything wrong with the demon's distrust. If it weren't for Ye Yeye's painful lesson as a lesson from the past, the players would have betrayed together.

Players, you looked at me and I saw you staring at each other for a few seconds, and said "I don't want to": "Of course because the consequences of betrayal are very serious..."

Although it was hard to imagine what kind of consequences could be considered serious for the undead, the player's answer successfully convinced Nubida and Anuda.

This is a reasonable explanation for why the king sent the player as part of an embassy to the Diman Empire, because the king prepared enough severe punishment for the traitor to ensure that even the crazy undead would be controlled by order.

Nubida's doubts were explained, and the players also raised their questions-questions that the enemy npc didn't answer directly.

"Did you know you're just an npc?"

What is the problem?Nubida repeated the unfamiliar term: "A character not controlled by the player in the game?"

One point must be emphasized again, although the dialogue between the demons and the players seems to be extremely smooth, but this is based on the function of the "common language", which converts the different languages ​​​​of the two parties into a common language that can be understood by each other.

But this does not mean that they can really achieve barrier-free communication across the cultural gaps of different worlds, it is just that they translate each other's vocabulary in a way that the other party can understand.

Just like the word npc.

Nubida: "You mean, you treat this world as a game, and treat other races besides you as non-player-controlled characters in the game?"

The player who was looking forward to the npc's awakening of self-will corrected him: "It's not a game, it's a game."

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

Nubida knows players too well. Players don't care what other people think of their behavior of treating the world as a game. The reason why they ask this question is that something may have happened.

It's as if someone would be surprised why players can whisper in front of the parties so calmly, the reason is very simple.

They don't care what other people think about it.

For a crazy race that treats the whole world as a game, there are too many things they don't need to care about.

They don't care about life, morality, what other people think or even the destruction of the whole world.

The players answered his question: "Hunting Mountain suggested that we have a deeper understanding of this world."

Oh, it's that guy again.

Nubida gestured to Anuda: "You guys are good at this kind of thing, let's talk about it."

Anuta sorted out the wording: "For us... we refer to the aborigines of this world." Considering the IQ of the players, Anuta explained in detail: "There are many special people in the world. Race."

"These special races come from other worlds bordering us. Different civilizations born in different worlds have their own characteristics."

"For example, there is another intelligent creature in the world. They coexist in the same world or even the same location as us, but we cannot see them."

"Because they're 'unobservable.'"

The player keenly pointed out the problem: "If you can't see it, how do you know they exist? Can you confirm that this is an intelligent life?"

"Because there is something to prove their existence."

Anuta took out an unremarkable ring from his personal space, inlaid with various precious stones, exuding an expensive atmosphere.

He tapped the huge purple gemstones on the ring, and the gemstones lit up one by one until they covered the entire ring.

As the gem lights up, a transparent film slowly diffuses from the hollow part of the ring. At first there is nothing on the film, but after a while, a shadow flickers past. The shape of the shadow is an inconspicuous shape. The slow movement of the black dots is particularly noticeable because there is nothing on the film.

As if aware of the existence of the film, the black dot stopped moving.

Then the players who stared intently at the film witnessed the scene where the black dot looked up at them.

It seems a little wrong to describe it like this, because a black spot has no head, and it cannot raise its head.

But in their perception, this black dot just looked up and "looked" at them.

The black dot stopped moving, and other sporadic black dots emerged on the film, gathering next to the original black dot.

They are looking up at another creature that is watching them.

After staring at each other for more than 1 minute, the ring shattered completely with a bang, and the powder was scattered in the space without leaving any residue.

"That's unobservable."

Anuta wiped off the powder on his hands, and said to the players: "Sometimes, we cannot detect the existence of another intelligent creature, just because our knowledge of the world has not yet reached the point where we can interact with each other. "

"But this does not negate their existence." Nubida lazily said: "This is a very arrogant behavior. Because of our own ignorance, we conclude that what we know is the whole world, and what we don't know doesn't exist."

"Fuck, this consciousness is much higher than ours."

The players gathered together again and whispered.

"But what does that have to do with our question just now?"

"Probably because there are so many strange races in the world, our existence is nothing at all?"

The players turned their heads to look at Nubida and the others, eager for a definite answer with their eyes of seeking knowledge.

"If you don't make it clear, they won't understand." Nubida bumped Anuda with his elbow, motioning for him to continue explaining.

Anuta organized the wording again: "I would like to suggest that you have a deeper understanding of the meaning of this world before hunting the mountain, which is the literal meaning."

"This world accepts many races that survived the destruction of the world. Some races we know of their existence, but some races we don't even know when they appeared."

"Man Star exists in the form of a star, from one end of the continent to the other, and is in a state of eternal rotation. They distort the space, showing two states of existence and non-existence when they are in motion. No one can reach that area... ..."

Anuta looked at the player: "Compared to other races that cannot be understood or even observed, you who just regard the world as a game and regard other races in the world as non-player-controlled characters in the game, at least you can communicate. Apart from the small differences in knowledge, you are just ordinary intelligent creatures."

This is a beautified version. In fact, his real meaning is: Except that you are not mentally normal, everything else is too normal, and you can't surprise the aborigines of this world at all.

Player: Players are just ordinary intelligent creatures?This is simply the greatest shame that the fourth natural disaster has ever suffered.

Nubida said aside: "In fact, this actually explains the incomprehensible behaviors you have done. It has to be said that this is a very wise choice. After all, not all undead can live forever. Curse turned into advantage."

Anuta shifted her focus back to the main topic: "So, after the informer was executed by you, Hunter sent you back like this?"

The players recalled: "He seemed to have other things to do, and he left in a hurry."

Nubida touched his chin: "What information did the informer tell him?"

The players integrated what Ye Yeye said and told the truth.

"So he just didn't say anything." Nubida concluded, "Then he left in a hurry, probably to tell the emperor about your situation."

Anuta agreed with his point of view: "He obviously thought too much without knowing your race. You are not as terrible as he imagined."

The players whispered again.

"Why do I feel that they are looking down on us?"

"What do you mean we are not as scary as he thought?"

"This is definitely looking down on us!"

"But I think what they said seems to be true..."

"Which side are you on? We are players!"

"I think it's not that we are not as scary as Hunting Mountain thinks, but that the devil doesn't realize how scary we are."

"That's right!"

Nubida and Anuda could hear their whispers clearly.

They glanced at each other, accustomed to the blind confidence of players.

Of course, time will eventually prove who is the right one, the player or the demon.
