I Became a God in a Horror Game - Chapter 387

[Chapter 377 Preseason (Japanese +183)]

The penultimate day of the preseason and midseason.

Holding a stack of documents, Wang Shun took a deep breath and walked into the conference room of the Wandering Circus. He looked straight at everyone sitting: “I believe that everyone should be able to memorize the information about our opponent this time. ”

Because they don’t have any data for us to analyze.” Wang Shun smiled bitterly, “Russell Cemetery team, our opponent in the last game.”

He said, and opened the system panel:

“Russell Season The performance in the previous game was similar to the previous two years, giving up the single and double games and focusing on the team game, which is a good thing and a bad thing for a rookie team like us.”

“The good thing is that you only have to play one game, the bad thing is This is the team game that you are not good at.”

Wang Shun clicked on the system panel, the panel slid to the next page, and there was a small video. After Wang Shun clicked play, the video started to play. A smoky gray mist was surging, and only a few people could be seen running inside, making violent gasps.

Wang Shun paused, and his expression became heavy:

“This is not the first time I have shown you this short video, this is the video of the last game at Russell Cemetery. Throughout the preseason, Russell almost The video of all games is like this.”

“It’s foggy, and I can’t see anything clearly.”

Riyu leaned on the back of the chair: “We have analyzed this point, Russell Cemetery should be to further keep the members of the team secret. I fixed a player with the fog cover skill in the team, and released their skills during the game to confuse the opponent’s vision and keep their information secret in front of the audience.”

Wang Shun sighed: “This method is very successful, and it is impossible to do so. Reprints, they don’t need the support of the audience so they can do it because it’s a practice that throughout the preseason, we don’t know anything about them except the death toll at Russell Cemetery.”

“Compared with the previous season, the number of deaths in Russell Cemetery this year’s preseason has dropped significantly.”

Wang Shun paused: “It should not be described as a significant drop. In this year’s preseason, Russell Cemetery has Only two players died and they made it to the preseason finals.”

“Before I got to this point, I didn’t understand why Russell Cemetery, who ranked tenth last year, gave up this year’s midseason qualification. , and then downgraded to play the preseason, but at this point, under President Ri’s analysis, I entered a misunderstanding tomorrow.”

Wang Shun shook his head and smiled helplessly: “I always thought that Russell Cemetery, which recklessly sacrificed the lives of its players in exchange for victory, is a cruel, inhuman, cold-blooded guild.”

“Isn’t it?” Mu Sicheng held his chin and asked back while turning his pen, “Last year, this team was a More than 80 newcomers have been sacrificed.”

Riliu took out the pen that Mu Sicheng was spinning: “It’s not.”

“On the contrary, this guild, as they advertised, is a shelter for desperate players. , is a warm and human collective cemetery, Russell Cemetery is a typical closed community guild, they have a sense of mutual help like relatives and neighbors, and they are very united and friendly.”

Mu Sicheng started on his head. Question mark: “The solidarity and fraternity that pushes people out to die?”

“You should change your thinking. When they joined this guild, they already knew that most of them would die. In other words, these people did not want to live. And those who joined this guild.”

Riliu

raised her eyes: “It’s because I want to die, but I don’t want to die so worthless.”

“And Russell Cemetery is a place where they can maximize the value of their deaths.”

Sicheng was lying on the table, his eyes peeked at Riliu and confiscated his pen: “But even so, Russell Cemetery has nothing to do with unity and friendship, right?”

Riliu looked down at Mu Sicheng, and the topic was A sudden turn: “What do you think is the greatest value of death?”

Mu Sicheng was startled for a moment, then sat up straight and began to think hard: “Money? No, I won’t be able to spend it after I die, name? It doesn’t make any sense even if I die…”

Finally Mu Sicheng tutted. Leaning on the back of the chair with a sigh of abandon: “What are these people thinking about tomorrow? When you die, you have nothing, and no matter what you get in exchange for death, it is worthless, and I have already entered the game, here. You can still earn points in a desperate game, it’s not worth it to die.”

“That’s you.” Riliu said calmly, “A high-strength newcomer that the big guilds are chasing after, Mu Sicheng, are you here? In reality, it is also a top-level configuration, with a good family background and a first-class school. You have a solid understanding of your own value, so you will not easily go to the option of returning to zero.”

“You haven’t been involved, have you?”

Mu Sichengyi Startled: “Roll what?”

“Roll inside.” Ri Liu said.

Mu Sicheng frowned: “Isn’t that something that happens when you are employed?”

“No, in places where resources are monopolized, there will always be involution.” Riliu picked up a pen and wrote on an open sheet of paper, “Game The points in the game can be earned through playing games, just like wages can be obtained through work, so playing games is a way of working.”

“But there are various guilds in the game, which make playing games a more efficient way of working.

The efficient way of classifying and contracting has improved the efficiency of playing games in exchange for points, and also provided various guarantees, reducing the chance of losing your life because of the game, just like various companies.

” In order to obtain points efficiently and to survive better, normal players will take the initiative to join these companies.”

“This is the first mechanism formed, and it is also a reasonable operating mechanism.” Riliu wrote on the paper [ Original mode] four words, “Normally, this mechanism can continue to operate for a long time before it starts to collapse, but at this time, there is a setting in this game that the acceleration mechanism collapses.

” Lifting his eyelids, “That’s gambling.”

“Gambling in this game is an anticipatory loan mechanism that binds your beliefs, interests, and your life to the guild, which doubles the cost of your bets, even if a player knows he is big The probability will be consumed by this guild, because the gambler’s psychology and cost are sinking, and it is difficult to find a next home

. Binding.”

“The tighter the binding, the slower the flow of personnel between the guilds will become, and the slower it will become, it will make everyone realize that the next family is more and more difficult to find, and choosing a guild will become a lifelong commitment. If you choose, then in the newcomer period, everyone will go crazy in order to enter the big guild, lower their treatment and so on.”

“And once you get to this point, you will find a very magical fact.” Two clicks on the paper, “The guild’s efficiency in obtaining points has become higher, the speed of game rotation has become higher, and more and more points are circulating between gambling pools. The points in the entire game are increasing exponentially.”

“But the treatment for new members in the guild is getting lower and lower, and the guild saves more points, but in order to maintain their ranking position, they have to vote in the league in the end, and they don’t save much.”

“Then Where did these points go? Who swallowed them?”

Ri Liu put down the pen, pushed it gently with his fingertips, and rolled the pen to the stunned Mu Sicheng.

Mu Sicheng stretched out his hand and held the pen that Riliu pushed over. He felt a little chill on his back: “…in the gambling pool.”

“bingo.” Riliu smiled, “Yes, the mechanism of the gambling pool is always the same. Betting the points with five times the leverage probability seems to be a loss, but everyone pools the points stolen from the gambling pool to connect the points earned by themselves, and eventually returns to the gambling pool, and then gets ripped off by 100% every time they win or lose. The handling fee of five to fifteen quietly swallowed the big head.”

“From the fact that the richest guild is the Gambler Alliance, not the Killer Sequence, it can be seen that the gambling pool is the biggest in this game. The dealer.”

Riliu raised her eyes and looked at the data on Wang Shun’s system panel: “Assuming you are just an ordinary player in the game, with ordinary skills and panels, although you can survive, you won’t be involved in the big guild, and you won’t be able to become a star. Players.”

“You are trying to survive, and in a certain league, you can’t help betting all your savings on a certain team, and then lose everything, and you realize in the collapse that it is difficult for you to get out of the gambling pool. You can get money from it.”

“But every time the league is over, the points that come out of the five-fold leverage in the gambling pool will increase the price of items in the entire game. If you don’t dare to gamble, your points will not increase, and you can buy them. The props you get are getting less and less, and the survival in the game is getting more and more difficult.”

“You don’t have any extra points in your hand that can be exchanged for money to use in reality. The game is not a place to let your desires be released, on the contrary. It makes you more and more miserable, because after six days of work in reality, you finally have a day off, and you have to come to the game to [work], earnestly earn points to buy props, so that you can save before next week’s game. Points for buying a life-saving item.”

Mu Sicheng’s eyes straightened: “…Thank you, I feel like dying after substituting it.”

Ri Liu continued: “To exchange points in the game for items to use in reality is High-level players with points in their hands, and some crazy players who just want to have fun at the moment. The former players are a minority, and the latter players have become the players with the largest base under the catalysis of the gambling pool, that is, gamblers. Players, so the Gambler Alliance can be so big.”

Wang Shun nodded in agreement with Ri Liu’s words: “But there are Gamblers Alliance and Non-Gambler Alliance. After President Ri gave me an analysis, I went to investigate Russell. The average investment of the players in the cemetery pool.”

“The result surprised me.” Wang Shun clicked on the panel, and a data analysis form popped up on the panel, “The average investment in their pool does not exceed ten points, so it can be said that It is a veritable union of non-gamblers.”

“Gambling is a kind of stimulating future expected consumption. When this consumption desire decreases, it shows that they are very pessimistic about their future expectations.”

Wang Shun sighed: “There is no way to get involved in the Great Guild, dare not gamble, and have to go through the test of living in the death game once a week. Many people live very tired in reality. They work hard every day and have no money. It’s

hard to get into the game, and the result…”

“They had a hard time.” It was so

hard that even his enemy investigator couldn’t bear it.

“…No way…” Mu Sicheng began to feel that the other party was desolate, “They won the mid-season team competition last year? Even if they swallowed the bottom line, it wouldn’t be so miserable, right?!”

Ri Liushu He raised three fingers:

“First, because there are no star players, they don’t have anyone to invest, and they don’t have any money in the betting pool. If they want to swallow, they can only swallow the opponent’s money.”

“Second, even if you win, the betting pool is the winner of the investment. The audience eats it, minus the handling fee charged by the gambling pool, the team can take only 5% to 10% of the gambling pool.”

“Third, they were the unpopular team last year, and the mid-season game attracted attention. It’s not high, there aren’t many spectators raising bets for both of them, and all they can eat is 5% of the bottom gold that doubles the small TV charging points of the big guild star players.”

“In general, although they have been winning, But I didn’t get much league dividends.”

Wang Shun sighed and added: “And I heard that the president of Russell Cemetery used the pool points they won last year as a sympathy, and divided them into more than 80 shares and distributed them to Those close to the deceased team members.”

Mu Sicheng heard mixed feelings: “…If you want me, I probably won’t be able to stand it.”

“Then let’s go back to the original question.” Ri Liu rolled his eyes, “If one A person can’t do anything, get nothing, has lived a hard life all his life, and finally can’t stand it anymore. For him, what is the maximum value of death?”

“Money, power, fame and fortune are for a dead person. It doesn’t make any sense, what is valuable to a dead man?”

Mu Ke, who had been silent all the time, spoke up: “It is recognized as valuable at the moment of death, and this value will always be remembered.”

“I was studying abroad before, and the suicide rate there was very high, and many people Before committing suicide, I would go to some accident-prone areas, or wandering the streets all the time, seeing robbers or gangsters, etc., I would rush up to see the righteousness and let these people kill themselves.”

“There was an interview in a magazine. It is said that more than 70% of people who have had suicidal thoughts want to do something good before they die.”

Mu Ke paused and continued: “Some suicidal people will form teams to help each other. , I have seen their special report, called [Suicide Community]. The leader of [Suicide Community] is usually a person who wants to commit suicide. Usually, the leader builds this community because he wants others to live, so he will I try my best to rescue other people in this community and hope that they will survive.”

“But the strange thing is that because of the existence of the community, the suicide rate of these people sometimes rises.”

Mu Sicheng asked: ” Why?”

Liu Jiayi next to him replied: “Because someone remembers them, they can be remembered to die.”

“In this kind of community atmosphere of giving up oneself, it is easy to breed a feeling of sacrifice. If I understand it, I can describe it as-” Riyanao’s eyes moved to the system panel displaying the information of Russell Cemetery, “–I died for you, I hope you will live in my place and remember me.”

” Those who survive may suffer more than those who die, because they bear more, and even the price of death has become heavy.”

Everyone in the conference room was silent.

Wang Shun coughed, interrupted the stagnant atmosphere and continued: “Combining the above information, President Ri and I have made an in-depth analysis of the Russell Cemetery team.”

“Everyone knows that for a team, the most important thing is the tactician, but because the members of the Russell Cemetery team are always changing, their tactician is different every game, but their tactical style is different. It

has remained fairly stable.”

“So we speculate that the tactician who really formulates the tactics is not these team members who have been pushed out for rotation, but the president of the Russell Cemetery Guild who has never played behind the scenes.”

“But this president It’s really mysterious. I haven’t participated in the league in the past two or three years. The information we have about him is very limited. The old player, he told me that this guild leader’s skills are very strange, and he quickly cleared the opponent in a fog after he played.

” It’s not the most peculiar skill of this guild leader.”

Wang Shun raised his head and looked solemn: “We all know that five players are required to participate in the league team competition, but the old player swears to me——”

“—— That guild leader went to the game alone, but when he got on the court, the system said that there were five players in the Russell Cemetery on the game map, and the game was running normally.” After the

meeting was over.

Tang Erda, who had been taciturn during the meeting, rarely stopped Riyu who got up and was about to leave: “Can we talk about Russell Cemetery alone?”

Riyu, who just got up and was about to leave, sat back again. Wang Shun closed the door, sat on the chair and turned around to look at Tang Erda: “What does Captain Tang want to tell me alone?”

Tang Erda stared at Riliu: “What do you think [Russell Cemetery] 】is a [suicide community] type guild?”

“So far it seems so.” Ri Liu put his elbows on the table and clasped his fingers together, “And the president of Russell Guild is the soul of this guild, he has Typical psychological characteristics of the leader of a mutual aid [suicide community].”

Tang Er frowned and asked, “What psychological characteristics?”

Riliu looked at Tang Erda lightly: “He is doing everything possible to save his members and players.”

“But Russell killed more than 80 people in the mid-season game last year.” Tang Erda tapped on the table with his fingers. , emphasized, “I don’t see the connection between sending new people to the league and saving people.”

Ri Liu suddenly smiled: “Captain Tang, how do you think you can save a group of people who want to die?”

Tang Er After

a meal: “I don’t know.”

“Give them hope.” Riliu looked at Tang Erda calmly, “The victory of the league is their hope, this guild doesn’t care about points or life and death, they just want to win, I Guess the president of the Russell Guild initially wanted to win regardless of everything, and then use the reward of the championship—wish to save everyone.”

“But they lost to the killer sequence, and in the next ninety qualifying matches The team is destroyed.”

Ri Liu said: “Captain Tang, do you remember Wang Shun saying that the Russell Cemetery team collapsed and abstained after the team was destroyed? Do you think a team that really recklessly sent new players to the field and was slaughtered? Will it collapse just because the group is destroyed once?”

“It’s just that five people died.” Ri Liu’s tone was flat, “The lives of the bottom players are the most worthless thing in this game, and their mid-season victory has already represented They can do it this way, they’re just one step away from success, and maybe they’ll do it again.”

“But Russell abstained, they didn’t play the midseason, and they started from the beginning of the preseason. Captain Tang, what do you think is the reason?”

Tang Erda fell silent.

He had an answer in his heart, but he felt that the answer was bizarre and… sad.

Riyu continued: “Because of casualties.”

“Starting from the mid-season game, facing a strong team, even if they can win, they must experience another huge casualty. Positions, fame, points, and risking huge uncertainty, restarting from preseason in order to reduce casualties.”

“They just want to win, they just want to live.”

Tang Erda touched his pocket and seemed to want to take out a cigarette, but he finally held back.

Riliu lowered his eyes: “The formation of this [suicide community] type of guild requires the existence of a group that wants to commit suicide from the beginning. I guess that the group of members when the Russell Guild first formed should be the same group. Enter the game, and this group of people is likely to know each other in reality.”

“This kind of self-harming community is not allowed to exist in China, so I guess that this group of them started with another group. It exists in name.”

Riliu raised her eyes and looked at Tang Erda who didn’t speak. “And you came to me alone because of this group, right? Captain Tang?”

Tang Erda was silent for a long time before he spoke hoarsely. : “You just analyzed the Russell Cemetery and reminded me of one thing. At this time last year, the Heresy Processing Bureau received a report of an abnormal incident, but after a long investigation, no heresy was found, and finally it was concluded as a social incident. .”

“What is this unusual case?” Riyu asked.

Tang Er Da was silent for a while: “The owners of the Sunshine Real Estate jumped off the building collectively, and 47 people died in total. They jumped from the upstairs one after another within a month. Because they were suspected of heresy, the news was suppressed by us at that time, and the investigation was made clear after half a day. Let it out quickly.”

Riliu asked lightly, “What is the social event?”

Tang Erda took out a cigarette, and after Riliu nodded in agreement, he took a deep breath and murmured. Said:

“Sunshine real estate is an unfinished project. It has been unfinished for more than three years. The developers who invested in it attracted foreign capital. When an accident happened, the money went abroad. The people who jumped off the building were all the owners of the unfinished buildings, and they were all one household. I jumped down, and after I jumped, I was completely dead, and there was no one in the family who helped collect the corpse.”

“After the person who jumped off the building died, the remaining owners of the unfinished building helped collect the corpse and sent it to the funeral home. After the cremation, the ashes were collected. Put it in their original house in the unfinished building.”

Tang Erda slowly exhaled a puff of smoke: “There are not many people living in the rooms in the unfinished building now. They are all urns, like a cemetery.”
