First Player

Chapter 335 Chapter 333·"Humanity needs the future"

Iris was wearing an outfit that looked like a riding suit today, with bright red buttons holding up her slender waist. She looked like a handsome and elegant aristocratic lady. His mature charm made Danmaku's heart flutter.

"Player No. 1, please turn off the live broadcast first," she said.

Su Mingan glanced at her.

"How about we talk business?" Iris said.

Su Mingan closed the live broadcast and started recording the screen.

"...Before this, can you please stop recording the screen?" Iris also noticed his screen recording gesture.

Su Mingan didn't speak, just looked at her.

"Okay..." She took a deep breath: "The first player, I am Iris, from the Storm Division of Yu State, and the head of the Skylark Faction. In the name of all Storm Division members, we sincerely invite you to join..."

"Say other conditions." Su Mingan interrupted.

"Perhaps you can listen to our conditions?" Before he could refuse, Iris popped out like a popcorn: "As long as you grant us the right to use the name of the first player, we can do all your dungeon missions. Send someone to give you the equipment and props you need. These include, but are not limited to, red-level equipment, space teleportation scrolls, large blood-returning potions, etc. In addition, the Storm Branch has quite comprehensive players. We have already analyzed that you lack clues to explore. type of teammates, and our advantage in this aspect is quite obvious..."

Su Ming'an sat on a chair nearby and listened patiently to what she said. She said that they had also made a paper version of the treaty, and she could share it as long as he untied her bonds.

Su Mingan listened and then laughed.

He remembered that in the fourth world, Iris was still like a proud princess, with a superior attitude.

Now, she was no different from Mizushima Kawaharu. She told him the terms in an almost flattering manner, and remained silent even when she was angry.

Her self-cultivation is indeed better than Mizushima Kawaharu, and her tone sounds very kind. But the contrast between before and after is so dramatic.

...This is the changed world.

This is the world game.

Iris stopped talking.

She looked at Su Ming'an with confusion in her eyes.

"Personally, I don't understand your neutral behavior." Iris said: "Profilers and psychologists have analyzed the changes in your mentality. We believe that you actually need help in your heart. And From the facts, you do need help. So, what’s the point of mutual benefit..."

"I have listened to many people's conditions for me and read many emails." Su Mingan said calmly: "The benefits offered to me are nothing more than two, one is to give props, and the other is to give teammates."

Iris looked at him.

"As for these two benefits, for now, I don't need them at all." Su Mingan raised his eyelids: "Currently, I don't lack powerful equipment, and my teammates are also quite outstanding. So why did I agree to your invitation to join the third team? Lend a player's 'name' to you?"

"Humanity needs the future, and the future needs leadership." Iris said: "And we think that you don't know how to use your honor as a leader. There are still doubts about you on the forum."

"So, you just want my name to help me 'operate these'?" Su Mingan said:

"You think I'm a star and need a studio to run my name?"

"In my opinion, you are a great, leader-like star." Iris said: "We have studied your lighthouse theory. You want to use the name of the number one player to lead everyone, right? So, let us further help you, arm you, and truly carry forward this name, there is nothing wrong with it. After the game is over, if you can stand to the end, you will have the most powerful strength, why do you care about us?"

Listening to Iris' words, Su Mingan stopped smiling.

...In fact, what Iris said "after the game is over" was exactly what Su Mingan was worried about.

These organizations... they want to win over him so much, he has the most powerful strength and the highest influence, so it is impossible for them not to have a back-up plan.

If these people suddenly make a move before the end of the game, it will be difficult for him to come back.

Humanity should not be consumed by internal fighting.

The player is an isolated island. He only trusts players who are in a similar situation to him, but does not trust this guy who hides behind the player and looks down on the player's adventures like a commander. Their mentality and stance are fundamentally inconsistent.

So far, he doesn't trust anyone except Yue Yue and Lu Shu.

Including Noel, they only have temporary trust. He couldn't agree with the riddle-like "new world" in Noel's mouth and his remarks about embracing higher dimensions.

He dare not believe in the evil of human nature.

"That's it." Su Mingan said, "I hope you continue to stand."

"..." Iris restrained her smile slightly, but she was not too disappointed: "It's a sorry answer, but I'm honored that I actually got your blessing?"

Su Mingan turned around: "Sevia, let her go."

Sevia, who was originally in a standby state, seemed to suddenly come to life. He stretched out his hand, and the white electricity on Iris disappeared in an instant.

She stretched out her hands and moved her body.

"I don't want to kill them all." Su Mingan said: "You are the 'lighthouse' of the past. You are a capable person. Recover as soon as possible and seize the opportunity in the next nine months. This is a rare opportunity to jump. You don't have to be Whose vassal?"

He could tell that Iris was also being coerced by someone.

After all, most people are different from him. They have friends, relatives, family, and ties behind them. It's impossible for him to be as careless as he is.

He has no intention of enmity. The other party is just a talking machine.

Iris moved her body, and then suddenly came slightly closer.

"Can I understand that you are showing mercy?" she asked.

"'Benevolence and righteousness cannot be achieved without buying and selling', have you heard this saying from the Dragon Kingdom?" Su Ming'an responded.

She took another step closer.

Bathed in the golden sunlight, her whole body seemed to be plated with a layer of metallic light.

The mottled light and shadow were like flexible fish surging on her body. Her body had a unique awe-inspiring temperament belonging to the nobility of the old times.

She came closer and whispered: "Although you gave me some suggestions to stabilize your state, in my opinion, your mental state is not very good."

Su Mingan frowned slightly.

He didn't expect that the other party still saw it.

Although he did take a good rest, the after-effects of the Sixth World still remained. Sometimes, he would have nightmares about dying repeatedly in the rain.

The sunny days in Praia soothed his body and mind, but some wounds left behind would never heal.

Like mental illness, or PTSD.

Even if there is a cure, it will still be there for a long time.

"Sevia, hold her down and don't let her go," Su Mingan said.

Iris smiled softly beside him as he left.

"Although it was a mission before." She said: "But I have changed my mind now... You are indeed a good person. If you want to be together tonight..."

After hearing this, Sevia stopped moving and looked at Su Mingan, as if he was questioning him.

After all, from his aesthetic point of view, this little human girl is indeed good, and it is inevitable that Su Lin will...

"Take her away." Su Mingan waved her hand with a headache, and then ignored Iris' gaze.

…

Iris was seized and imprisoned in the dungeon. Unlike Mizushima Kawaharu back then, he didn't kill her. After all, she is a smart person who can understand people.

Taking the detection stone and the soul clan's stronghold information, he immediately went to the Central Soul Hunting Department to meet Ellas.

Ellas seemed to be busy, making communication calls continuously. He didn't show any strange expression when he saw Su Ming'an coming, nor did he ask anyone to take him down. It seemed that he didn't even know that he was running over to the Soul Clan. Once upon a time.

"Su Lin, why are you here? Has the secondary cleaning task been completed?" Ellas quickly signed the document in his hand, looking like a social animal.

"Not yet." Su Mingan said.

He tried using Confusion on Elras, but did not get any hint that the current resource points were insufficient.

The system prompts that Ellas is a human being, so he cannot use the "Confusion" skill.

If you need to use "Confusion" on it, you must first use "Transformation" to turn the opponent into a soul.

Su Mingan glanced at the conversion cost, 5,000 resource points...

A rough calculation shows that if you want to completely bring the other party under your control, you will need at least 6,500 resource points.

I don’t know if he can earn so much in the next few levels...it doesn’t seem to be very cost-effective. If he really invested so many resource points in Elras, he doubted that he would be able to pass the final level of the brave battle.

"Well...then you'd better hurry up. The feast will start in two days. By then, the east and west districts will be cleared, and the soul clan hidden among the residents of Thirteenth Street will also move its position." Ellas didn't even look around. He asked: "Are you looking for me for something?"

Su Mingan paid attention to the other party's tone, and the other party seemed to have no doubts about him.

"I feel like the items at the exchange point in the East District are almost finished. Is there anything good left?" He gave a casual reason.

"The Central Soul Hunting Department also has good things. You can go downstairs and take a look." Ellas said.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Su Mingan discussed the soul hunting situation with the other party again, and then went downstairs.

He took a look at the exchange point on the way and saw that the things exchanged at the Central Soul Hunting Department were different from those at the East District. It's also a potion and a weapon.

However, that weapon is a purple-level elemental staff, and it seems that it can only be used as a gift. The potion was the same as the potion in the East District. He planned to wait until the second cleaning task was completed before collecting some camp points to replace the things.

He made his way back to the East End.

He had already discovered that those players were like cannon fodder, and even Elras didn't care much about them.

Elras let them go out without permission, let them all be wiped out, and then didn't even bother to mention it.

It seems that the Soul Hunting ruler has long discovered the internal discord within Soul Hunting. It is estimated that this was done deliberately, in order to clean up the disobedient people.

The rulers on both sides don't seem to be simple things.

He walked past small farmland and across waterways to his house.

The grandmother next door was weaving, and the squeaking sound of the sewing machine came through the window. When she saw him coming back, she raised her head and smiled at him.

"Back." She said softly, then lowered her head and stopped asking questions enthusiastically.

Su Mingan saw it.

There was a muddy silence in the old lady's eyes.

It was as if any hope had been shattered.

He suddenly remembered.

The letter that said "No need to wait for me" arrived safely in her hands this week.
