Hyperreal board game

At that time, Cheng Yang didn't understand the criteria for selecting victims in this game at all. He and Yuan Ye were inseparable since they were young. Even when they came home from school, he would definitely send Yuan Ye to the door of his house before going back alone.

Going out to play and party on holidays is also under his nose.However, even so, Yuan became a victim of the board game system without his knowing it.

An Ge: Scary stalker.

Cheng Yang: I was protecting him instead of the guardian!

In short, this question has puzzled Cheng Yang for a long time, and the descriptions of others have always been like nowhere. He tried all kinds of crazy methods, wanting to see the same perspective, experience the same danger, and feel the same sadness as Yuan Ye, even because of this. Even sacrifice your life.

However, he just couldn't get what he wanted, and the board game system just didn't like him.

If it were another person, this would probably be luck that no amount of money could buy, but it was like a curse to him.

After that, about a year or two later, things suddenly took a turn.

A man who hid his identity found Chengyang and told him that there was a way to revive the players who died in the game.

An Ge couldn't help but ask, "You just...believe it?"

Cheng Yang covered his eyes and smiled wryly: "This scam hits my pain point, the attraction is unsurpassed in the world, how can I not believe it? It's not so much believing...it's better to say that I desperately hope it's true."

And that person has his own set of rhetoric, which sounds logical and reasonable.

He said that this game system was born from the over-exuberant delusion of all mankind for thousands of years.Due to the development of modern technology, all kinds of games are becoming more and more popular. Some senior people in the game industry even assert that games will evolve and eventually become the "ninth art".

The more energy and attention you put into the game, the more delusional power is sent behind the dimensional wall.Therefore, the "integration of human delusions" accumulated behind the dimensional wall absorbs these forces and gradually materializes, becoming stronger day by day.

If it continues like this, one day it will become the enemy of the real world.

Therefore, I don’t know when or who created the super-real board game system, and created many modular worlds that are almost the same as the real world. Choosing qualified people to enter and take risks is actually a waste of delusional power The way.

As long as the consumption reaches a certain level, the forces on both sides of the dimensional wall will reach a balance, and then all participants can be rewarded for their merits.

As long as the contribution is enough, he can request to revive a player.This stage has been repeated many times without anyone knowing it in human history. The purpose is to maintain the enthusiasm of the participants, similar to online games giving back gift packages to players.

For people like Cheng Yang who "can't log in to the game to become a player", there is also a way to participate, which is to assist the system and use another way to disperse the "delusional power" from behind the dimensional wall.

The specific method is to make more people become consumers of delusional power through a ceremony called "Dice of Fate".

Looking back now, all the words of that person are like whispers of the devil, too perfect and too tempting.

However, Cheng Yang willingly believed him.

He said that these consumers will indeed be affected a little, such as a little less energy and physical strength, and a little addiction to playing games, but they can still maintain a level that will not destroy their existing social activities and lives.As long as there are enough people in contact with the ritual, each person's power to disperse is small enough, and it can even reach a level where there is almost no influence.

What's more, even if there is no such ceremony, human beings are addicted to sugar, milk tea, fat house happy water, eating chicken, reading novels... all kinds of addictions and behaviors that do not hesitate to harm their health. It has never been reduced either.

Those aristocratic foodies in ancient Rome even vomited out after eating and then continued to eat...

An Ge heard him go further and further away, and couldn't help interrupting: "I understand your mood at that time very well, and I would make the same choice if it were different."

As long as the number is enough, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of millions of people, each suffer a little bit of harm, and all of them can be accumulated to exchange for the most important person in their life, and anyone will be willing to change.

Even if it's just a lie.

Seeing Cheng Yang showing a painful expression, An Ge buried his face in his hands.

Often this gesture signifies shame, guilt, grief and remorse.

An Ge gradually had a complete speculation in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "What is the purpose of that ceremony?"

Cheng Yang restrained his collapse, and replied: "That person taught me to draw a ritual magic circle. As long as the person who throws d20 and throws 20 for the first time is within the influence range of the magic circle, he will be qualified. Those who are drawn into the board game system."

An Ge's mind exploded.

When he came back to his senses, he had already stepped on the coffee table, grabbed the man's collar and asked loudly, "You did it?? What the hell did you do!"

He accidentally kicked the porcelain on the table to the ground. It is said that very expensive out-of-print master works, cups and teapots so thin that they were almost transparent fell to the ground and smashed to pieces, and the harsh cracking sound exploded in the room.

As soon as the sound rang, the door was knocked open, and Yue Zimo's angry voice sounded first: "Let him go!"

An Ge was in a daze for a moment, Yue Zimo was angry with him?Tell him to let go?Who is Cheng Yang?

Before he could think too much, Yue Zimo had already rushed over, separated the two of them, and continued to be angry: "Don't touch my brother!"

Cheng Yang hurriedly raised his hands to show his innocence: "I didn't!"

Obviously it was your brother who touched me from the beginning to the end, okay!

Behind Yue Zimo, the special committee headed by Zhang Hong and Cheng Yang's secretary assistant rushed in. The reception room was originally small, and it was packed all at once. If there was a fight, I can't use my fists or feet.

An Ge hurriedly hugged Yue Zimo from behind before he could say anything else, "Wait, wait, I misunderstood."

Cheng Yang also turned his head to appease his subordinates: "It's okay, it's all right, I'm getting excited, Xiao Zhang, please change the tea set again."

An Ge also said: "Well, I was too excited to hear it, it's okay."

After calming down the two parties, Cheng Yang didn't ask anyone to clean up the mess on the ground. He just moved to the other chair and continued the conversation.

Without the coffee table as a barrier, the two of them had a long conversation.

An Ge also calmed down, listening to Cheng Yang continue.

The range of influence of the magic circle is very limited, and it must be set up in a fixed place.Therefore, Cheng Yang mainly uses two methods. The first is to choose leisure places, such as board game bars, cafes, and book bars. When decorating, he will draw the magic circle under the floor or hide it in the interlayer of the ceiling. .

When the guests come, use the 20-sided dice provided by the store, whether you are playing casually or playing a board game, as long as you throw 20 for the first time, you will be upgraded to a qualified person.

The second type is the lucky bag, which has a larger maneuverable space.The retail industry, especially the fast-moving consumer goods industry, is full of all kinds of lucky bags: food, stationery, clothing, and all kinds of hobbies, which are hard to guard against.

Use a special box with a hidden magic circle to randomly pack a lucky bag. If you get a super-valued lucky bag, which is the so-called "becoming a European", you will be automatically upgraded to a qualified person.

An Ge: I feel the deep malice of African chieftains towards Europeans.

Because Cheng Yang's business is mainly local, there are so many local players.

Under Cheng Yang's description, he finally remembered vaguely.

There is a bookstore in University City. The upper and lower floors are spacious and quiet, the environment is very good, and the charges are reasonable. You can sit there for a day for less than 100 yuan.

With food, drink, power supply and wifi, he will come here when he doesn't want to go to the library.

The book bar also provides various small props such as comics and board game sets, and there are several 20-sided dice on each table.

About one time he was idle, he picked it up and threw it once, and he really threw 20.

An Ge asked, "You also opened the Blue Mushroom Book Bar?"

Cheng Yang nodded.

An Ge clenched his fists tightly, wishing to beat this man up, he had never been so angry in his life.

Cheng Yang looked at his expression, but suddenly smiled, but his heart was ashamed: "You can hit him if you want, I will never fight back... I have been very active all these years because I believed in that rhetoric. How many people died. Even if it was unintentional, it is unforgivable."

He couldn't restrain himself any longer, and choked up, "Yuan also knew that his modules and I were both used as murder tools. I don't know how sad it is..."

An Ge didn't have the energy to comfort him, but asked coldly, "When did you find out?"

"Two days ago," Cheng Yang said, "after Zhang Hong's people connected with me, we found out after checking the information in each other's hands. After that, I immediately stopped all activities, and all business premises were closed for rectification. , to dismantle all the magic circles under the pretext of interior decoration."

This person's ability to act is not bad, but he has already made a big mistake, and it is useless to regret it now.

An Ge took a deep breath, it would be useless to worry about these things now, he thought about the valuable information, and asked again: "Do you know the identity of the person who lied to you to start doing this?"

Cheng Yang shook his head: "He may have used some props. Every time I see him, I can't remember his appearance. I just remember that he is an ordinary man with a popular face who can't be found without entering the crowd. When we met for the first time He was in his early 20s. But... I remember him mentioning the club once."

An Ge felt as if he had heard it somewhere, and frowned carefully recalling it.

Cheng Yang continued to add: "He said: the club is developing a new ceremony, which can cover more people and find qualified candidates."

An Ge couldn't figure it out, so he could only ask, "What club?"

Cheng Yang smiled bitterly: "I asked him too, but he didn't say anything."

An Ge nodded again.

Having said that, the information that the two parties can provide has been exchanged, and An Ge can't wait to leave.

Although Cheng Yang was deceived, the fait accompli was unforgivable. He really couldn't bear to face this man who put him in danger.

"An Ge." Cheng Yang stopped him again, and took out a book from his bag. The A4-sized hard-shell book was exactly the same style as his artifact PHB, except that the cover art was slightly different. Song's eyes widened.

Cheng Yang didn't pay attention to the change in his expression, but stroked the cover of the book nostalgicly, and then handed it to him, "This is left by Yuan Ye, and it seems to be a prop in the game."

An Ge stood where he was and didn't pick it up, "Yuan Ye gave you this."

Cheng Yang walked over slowly and put the book in his hand, "Yes, but I think it's more valuable in your hand."

An Ge clutched the heavy book, feeling a little dizzy.

The player's handbook PHB is displayed in the game as: [One of the world's three holy books, the book of origin].

The book that Cheng Yang gave him was written as DMG (Dungeon Master's Guide). When he touched it, the system prompt that popped up was called [The Second of the Three Holy Books of the World, the Book of Creation].

"This is a very precious prop," An Ge said honestly, "I can't accept it."

Cheng Yang smiled sadly, "You really resemble him... So, if it can help you become stronger, that would be great. When you become stronger, you will definitely be able to save more people."

You think highly of me.

An Ge complained in his heart.But he really wanted this book, and since Cheng Yang insisted, he surrendered and accepted it after three seconds of mental struggle.

Then put the book carefully into the system package before going out.

Cheng Yang watched the book suddenly disappear in his hand, and was only a little surprised, and didn't ask any questions.

Before leaving, An Ge asked him what he planned to do in the future?

Cheng Yang shrugged: "I can only...do my best to make amends."

He didn't expect that this was the last sentence Cheng Yang said to him.

After they separated, An Ge and Yue Zimo naturally had to exchange information with Zhang Hong and the others first, and also had to write a summary battle report for the module, so they went to the Special Opportunity Committee together.

He also inquired about the club by the way.

Zhang Hong scratched his beard and said: "The club... I have heard of it vaguely. It seems to be a non-governmental organization formed spontaneously by players. I don't know the specific situation. We are also investigating."

He was ambiguous, An Ge stared at him for six seconds, but couldn't tell if he was lying.

The reason why I didn't stare for a while longer was because Yue Zimo complained: "Why does Brother An keep staring at others? Is he prettier than me?"

Zhang Hong smiled and waved his hands: "I dare not compare, I dare not compare."

Just as he was talking lively, he answered a phone call, and his face suddenly changed.

Before anyone else could ask, Zhang Hong stared at An Ge in a daze, and said, "Cheng Yang is dead."
