First Player

Chapter 172 Chapter 171·"You are the lighthouse"

Su Mingan said nothing.

He didn't know whether these words came from Danshuang's true intentions, or whether they were suggestive words she said to make him settle down in the Revolutionary Army, but he had to admit that she was very smart, and he was indeed attracted by her words.

But he doesn’t think it’s black and white. It was only because the regular army wanted to kill him and the revolutionary army wanted to save him that he stayed, that's all.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of blades of grass stirring, and then he felt his hand being suddenly held by the other party.

"When the coming-of-age ceremony is over, when the war is over... we still need you." Shan Shuang said in a very light tone: "After everything is over, can you continue to work with me to spread your achievements? You are the world Your indispensable existence is our hope and future... I hope you can stay, guide us, and become the new leader of the revolutionary army..."

Su Mingan suddenly heard the system prompt:

[A special plot appears, and the ending takes a turn. 】

[Do you agree to Odd and Even’s invitation to become an [Observer]? (Observers exist without player status and will no longer return to the main god space. They will continue to live as native residents of a world. Observers can travel to other worlds and become detached Lucky guy outside the game]

...again.

When he was in the second world, he was tempted to stay in Baicheng and become an observer. Now, at this critical moment when the war is about to begin, it has happened again?

Every invitation is accompanied by unparalleled temptation. The second world was to tempt him to become the ruler of White City and control the army of androids, but this time it was even more unusual. It wanted to tempt him directly to become the leader of the entire magical world.

He looked at Shan Shuang, and the girl's eyes were very bright.

The look in her eyes now was completely different from usual. It was like a flash of light, or like crossing a river of stars that filled the sky. When her eyelids were opened and closed, it was like the entire river was flowing.

She looks so serious and seems to be giving everything she has, so beautiful.

Maybe she didn't even realize what her words meant. But the expectations therein were too obvious.

He was familiar with this look, just like Hui Shuhang... They all regarded him as the future of the world, and considered him more precious and important than their lives.

Their eyes were exactly the same as the eyes of the light chaser in his dream. More determined than Lu Shu and longer than Yue Yue. He is also saving everyone in this world, albeit in the form of a mission.

He suddenly remembered the way they looked at him when he was killing those players, as if they were looking at a lifelong enemy, like they were looking at a sinner of the entire world.

Audiences with unclear positioning are addicted to pleasure, pointing the country with a superior attitude, and enjoying the success with an attitude of dealing with entertainment anchors.

The girl who calls herself a light chaser took his words out of context.

The man-made number one player who didn't care about the overall situation, didn't care about the hope of others who were equipped with the equipment on him, took over the brawl in the main god space, and died a worthless death.

Now is the fifth copy.

There are still more than ten months left until the end.

His hand touched Shan Shuang's.

"I..." He was about to speak when he suddenly heard rapid footsteps coming from behind.

"--At this!"

"Found it, found it!"

Shan Shuang's expression changed, and she quickly stood up. The black knife drew an arc and pointed directly in that direction.

Spanning out from the side of the hillside were a group of players not wearing Revolutionary Army uniforms. Perhaps they had some concealment tools that allowed them to rush over from the Revolutionary Army's patrol line without being discovered by others.

Their eyes were accurately fixed on Su Mingan, their expressions extremely excited.

The barrage had anticipated this scene. They often saw players like this suddenly pounce on him, because Su Ming'an's identity had been leaked long ago, and there were even players pretending to be revolutionary soldiers who would suddenly attack him.

Facing this scene, the audience did not panic at all, because they had long been accustomed to the principle that "Su Ming'an cannot fail".

"—Back off!"

The black knife in both hands glowed with cold light, and her eyes were cold, as if she might take action at any time.

Su Ming'an walked out from behind her, and the white light in the space was vaguely visible around her.

The strange thing is that it was already obvious that he was going to take action, but the five people in front of him still didn't draw their swords, and even still stared at him with fanatical expressions.

"——Light, lighthouse is safe!"

The sudden sound made him a little stunned.

A young man with East Asian appearance in the middle of the five-person team looked at him with his fists clenched and his eyes bright, looking like a little girl chasing stars.

His title also caused the barrage that was originally shouting "Kill them!" to freeze for a moment.

"Lighthouse Ann, we are here to deliver equipment to you!"

The five-person team got straight to the point.

Before Su Mingan could answer, the young man started talking loudly:

"Lighthouse An'an, we all saw the channel chat. Someone reported your location. It is estimated that many people are coming now..."

Next to him, a beautiful girl flipped her hair: "Well... the five of us all started adventuring in the third world, and we still have a lot of useful things. I thought you might need them, so we hit it off and came here. Already..."

"Player No. 1, don't do anything yet. Listen to us. We are really here to give you points. There is no conspiracy... We are so confused in this world. We don't know what to do. We feel like we can't get anything even if we survive. I don’t know anything about points, and I’m afraid of dying without knowing it. After hearing that the number one player was actually matched with us, I ran over immediately..."

These people seemed to be afraid that he would be hostile, so they started to explain everything from the beginning, down to the smallest details, and explained their intentions and the process of coming here in detail.

Su Mingan looked at these people in a daze.

The sword he had raised slightly was now slightly lowered.

……bona fide.

This concept, which seemed particularly unfamiliar after the World Game began, gradually unfolded in front of him.

He read such a meaning from their words.

——They are doing their best to show him kindness.

"We are the super-talking little managers of the World Forum. I don't know if you usually read it..." A fat man who looked very honest and wore several layers of armor scratched his head: "We are really timid and don't dare to leave. , I often watch your live broadcasts. The top of the super chat now is our suggestions on the configuration of your skills and equipment, which I put a lot of effort into... I hope it can be at least a little bit helpful to you..."

"I originally wanted to visit the legendary different world, but I ran away after seeing it. But I didn't expect that I was actually matched with you in the same world... It just so happened that we were carrying props suitable for you..."

The group of people were still talking.

Su Mingan blinked and suddenly asked: "Props suitable for me?"

The fat man was still talking, but suddenly he got a response, and the fat on his face shook violently. He hurriedly took out several props from his backpack, shaking his hands, and showed them to him one by one like offering treasures. :

"Lighthouse An, look, this is a one-time space teleportation prop. You always like to run to the most dangerous places. With this, if you get into trouble, you will at least have a way out... and this! "

There were several small red bottles lying on his fleshy palms, the bright blood red shining:

"Mental recovery potion! Although it sounds mysterious, the effect is really good. At least... at least the sleeping effect is good. We noticed that you are always tired, so we specially found a pharmacist to make this kind of thing. And... …”

Between his fingers, there were tiny stones, like pebbles:

"There are dozens of equipment repair stones. They are expensive and consume a lot of money. You usually fight a lot, so you will definitely lack these. If these things are in your hands, they should help you save a lot of points..."

He introduced each item one by one, detailing all the treasures, with an expression full of excitement, like a child proudly showing off his toys.

But Su Mingan understood the meaning of his words.

... This group of people seemed to have been prepared to meet him from the very beginning. Everything they had on them was very helpful to him at this time.

"We heard about that crazy girl Su's bombing incident before, and we have been thinking that even someone like her can be lucky enough to meet you in the dungeon world, why can't we? So we have been preparing... "

"Just so that you can meet me one day." Su Mingan took over his words.

The fat man was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled like a sunflower.

"Yes." He smiled, the props in his hands sparkling like gems: "——Just so that I can meet you one day."

"Why?"

"Because I like it."

Su Mingan's eyes were a little hazy.

It turns out... there are really people who would give up all their own prospects just for a "like", just for a meeting, and prepare all the time from the main god space... until they dedicate all of themselves.

This is a struggle for all mankind, and points determine everyone's ranking at the end of the game.

He is the direct beneficiary. He cannot stand on the moral high ground and thinks that he is completely innocent.

Su Shi's overly morbid behavior, Yu Ruohe's gloomy transformation, and Lu Shu's crazy suicide attack all told him that in a world with such a mechanism, liking and admiration have become "abnormal" things. Because everyone is already "abnormal". Even the Light Chasers, they only chase him for various reasons, not purely because of emotion.

Therefore, making all concepts "abnormal" gradually becomes normal.

but now,

He saw in the eyes of this group of people, what is truly called "like", a pure, diamond-like precious emotion that abandons everything.

The group of people poured out everything they had on them, then smiled and waved to him.

"——Goodbye Lighthouse Ann!"

"You must win! Give those guys like Edward some color!"

"We only serve you as the number one player, no one else can!"

"Don't care what those NT people say, we all support you."

"——Su Mingan, you are the lighthouse!"

"If we meet again next time, we will come to give you warmth!"

"Hey, slip away. If you don't leave, the Revolutionary Army will capture you..."

Five people talking and laughing, wearing shabby novice cloth, waving their hands, gradually disappeared under the hillside.

The breeze blew through their colorful clothes, like colorful flags as the morning approached.

Su Mingan stood there and watched them go away.

He is thinking.

"..."

He thought about many possibilities that would bring him disadvantages, and thought about the process of this transaction over and over again.

But in the end, what was etched in his mind were the shining eyes of these five people.

...really just because I like it.

In his eyes, the audience has always been the most worthless existence. They have no effect except posting meaningless barrages and clamoring for the death of someone. This group of people would only assume his perspective, and then lie in bed and sleepwalk all day long, waiting for all human beings to reach the point score.

But now, this group of people told him that they were once failed viewers, and even because of some other viewers who established Super Talk, they were able to become Light Chasers and truly help him.

……This is good.

[It is important to pass the level perfectly, it is important to face oneself, it is important to grade appropriately, and it is also important to take risks and participate in the game, but it is not important to become a casual player. 】

...This is what he wanted to express.

However, it was proposed too early and too prophetic, so it was sharply targeted at the beginning and was not accepted by people whose mentality had not yet changed.

But now, as time goes by, its correctness is increasingly confirmed, and it becomes more and more in line with the gist of the current world.

When Shanshuang approached and put a coat on him, he tightened his cold hands and his breathing slowed down a bit.

"——Can you stay?" she asked, her warm breath blowing on the shell of his ear. She lowered her head and her tone was almost pious: "...the world needs you, and all of us here need you. .”

She seemed to have automatically ignored the concepts of "player" and "dungeon world" that the group of players just mentioned. At this time, she looked more like an NPC sending out a mission invitation than a real person with flesh and blood.

He reached out and slowly pushed the coat away, then smiled and turned off the live broadcast.

"Forget it." He said: "Ruling this world is not as interesting as ruling your own world."

The panels started to crumble.

[You have chosen to continue to be a player. 】

…

The handwriting appeared in front of me, and then gradually disappeared in the breeze.

Su Mingan's black hair was blown by the wind. He raised his head slightly and looked at his back in the distance.

……them,

It’s really worth loving.
