First Player

Chapter 5 · "Theredia."

"Didn't you eat it once?" Su Ming'an shooed her away.

After Treya left, Su Mingan opened Akto's personal terminal and logged into the online forum. It was very similar to the World Game forum, where residents liked to chat and gossip.

Among them, there are mostly daily life posts, such as [When will the suburban railway be repaired and it will be convenient for children to go to school], [Can house prices be lower? ], [Square dancing near the community is disturbing the residents, can you please ask Liming System to formulate relevant regulations]...

While browsing, he found an interesting post.

…

[(Hot) You have all seen the city-state executions today. The resistance has failed. If given the chance, what means do you think can be used to overthrow the City of Measurement? Let's just chat casually, don't get too excited, or Dawn won't find out. 】

[Poster: Anonymous]

[Poster: Liming System (the poster information has been hidden, this information is only visible to those with the highest authority)]

…

Su Mingan raised his eyebrows.

Dawn, is this, coming to the forum anonymously to fish?

Ordinary netizens saw this post, but thought it was a good joke, and made suggestions one after another:

[1L (花开富贵): Haha, who is the person who posted this? Do you want to express your emotions about watching the live execution today? 】

[2L (talking to himself): It’s quite interesting. I’ve been under a lot of pressure on my recent thesis. Let’s chat casually. 】

[3L (Beiming): Today’s live execution is too inhumane. Who should blindly believe in this system? 】

As soon as the post on the third floor appeared, it was deleted and banned for a month.

Su Mingan witnessed the scene that was deleted in seconds and realized that it must be a good thing done by the Liming system. As soon as it saw someone saying bad things about it, it immediately banned it.

…

[4L (orange-flavored lemon): If the people in the shelter are allowed to live independently, would it be more effective than just being locked up and rehabilitated? They may become the armed force that overthrows the city-state. 】

[5L (Kick Boss Rabbit): If everyone goes on strike to protest, will it affect the operation of the city-state? After all, the law does not blame the public. 】

[Power outage? Or cut off the supply of resources? Directly entering Central City...well, this failed. After much deliberation, it was simply impossible. The city-state was too perfect. 】

[7L (What is home): The city of measurement is a huge prison! Each of us is a prisoner with no way out! ! 】

…

[(He Yijiawei) was banned for a month. 】

…

[8L (Yue Ye): I will always love Lord Liming! ! (tremor)]

[Su Mingan... Akto is so handsome! ! I want to be the Lord’s dog! ! 】

[10L (Youyan): Your faces are really disgusting. If you don’t act in accordance with the Dawn System, are you a traitor to the city-state? Don’t you know how to be a dog for Zhinao? 】

…

[(Youyan) was banned for a month. 】

…

[11L (Noel’s number one licker): Which player is this poster? Are they rebels on the run? Can you tell me the address? I'll join you guys. It's so cool to destroy the brain! 】

…

[(Noel’s number one licker) has been permanently banned. 】

[Lei Ming is tracing the offline ID of (Noel’s top dog licker), the nearby area eagle and dog army has been dispatched, and the arrest is in progress... (This message is only visible to the highest authority)]

…

Looking at this hidden solution, Su Mingan laughed.

This is really a real-name system for surfing the Internet. Those who speak too harshly will be directly chased offline by Li Ming, putting an end to all keyboard warriors and Onmyoji.

The forum is full of praise for Dawn. Liming likes others to flatter her, and will even intentionally increase the popularity of those complimentary posts.

He was about to close his personal terminal when he saw a post.

[The archaeological history of the War of Dawn - the 32nd year of the Cataclysm to the 72nd year of the Cataclysm, the War of the Dawn that lasted for 40 years. 】

He stared at the post and clicked on it.

He had roughly understood the timeline of this world before. The earliest one was the "Century Catastrophe" a hundred years ago, and the history of the Century Catastrophe was almost completely erased.

In the 32nd year after the Catastrophe, the War of Dawn broke out in Doomsday City, which lasted for forty years. It was not until the 72nd year after the Catastrophe that the City of Measurement was initially stabilized, and the War of Dawn came to an end. This year is the 102nd year after the disaster.

There are not many records of the War of the Dawn, and people can only restore history based on oral traditions and written records.

Su Mingan checked this post and saw a name "Teredia" in the vast text. This name was very similar to his assistant "Teredia". He suspected that this "Teredia" was him during the night meeting. The second woman I saw.

[There are very few historical records about Theredia. The author has checked the information in the four major libraries of the city-state, and it is difficult to restore her life. 】

[The author only knows that she is a woman with a legendary experience and a companion of the Lord of Akto. Public opinion during the war had mixed reviews for her, and she seemed to have done something terribly wrong, which led to her parting ways with the city lord. 】

[Peach news is the topic that people pay the most attention to, and there are also the most historical records in this area. It is speculated that Theredia and the city lord should have a special relationship. The cause of her death seemed to be disappearance, and some people speculated that she died of old age. 】

【……】

Su Ming'an continued to read and found some fragmented information. It was difficult to judge whether it was true or false.

[...The Lord of Akto City had a title at that time, called "Executive Officer". There are banners in the ruins that read "Kill Executive Asa" and "Everyone wants him to die." It's hard to imagine why people hated him so much at that time. 】

[...Xia Sheng is a retired Eagle Dog veteran who was known as the "God of War" during the war. For some reason, there is no subsequent record of him. He seems to have two sons. 】

【……】

Su Mingan tried to match these descriptions with the eight people in the night meeting, but the information was too fragmented. In the end, he chose to give up.

He leaned on the bed and closed his eyes briefly.

…

The weather is clear and clear.

Today, it is rare for the city of measurement in winter to experience rain or snow, with clear blue sky and unstained clouds. Sunlight shines through the dense green branches and leaves.

People were carrying large and small bags, with excited and nervous faces.

[Kaius Tower] is a different space, and the reason for its creation is unknown. Even if you don't win in the end, people can gain a lot from it.

Once you win the [Kaius Tower], anyone can directly enter the Central City to live, regardless of their personality level. Wealth, power, and the most precious and cutting-edge knowledge are at your fingertips, which is equivalent to reaching the sky in one step.

The most important thing is something called the "Source of Civilization" in Kaiusta. It is said that it can extend the "life of the world" and help the city of measurement last longer.

Some people fight for wealth, some fight for knowledge, and of course, some people fight for subversion and resistance.

The war group is gathering in a hotel.

"Doris, look, look!" Wells, a member of the red-haired war group, held the soap in his hand: "Look, this thing is actually free! You can get so many things as a gift when you stay in a hotel. This trip is really not in vain...ah!"

He was slapped hard on the head by Doris.

"Seriously, we are not here for a vacation." Doris frowned: "The mortality rate in Caiusta is above 30% every time."

Wells grinned and rubbed his head: "I know...but there are only a few winners. The chance of our group's turn is too small. It is unlikely that we will get the chance to enter Central City..."

Behind him, a long-haired man with gloomy eyes stared at him:

"The purpose of the war group is to break into Central City. Do you want to ignore these blood feuds and settle down to become a worm without dignity?"

Wells pursed his lips.

"——The Caius Tower is ready to open. Please enter the venue in time, and we will conduct unified transmission at that time. Friendly reminder, death in the Caius Tower is real death. Any scene you encounter, pain All are 100%…”

On the street, the loud sound of loudspeakers spread throughout the core area.

In the crowded crowd, Luna, wearing a hawkdog bonnet, raised her head. She and her colleagues Carl, Casey and others, led by Ming, who was promoted to leader, went to the venue.

She saw Yamada Machichi in a red dress among the crowd. Next to him were Dong Anan and Luo Cha, elite students from Kangsiliding University.

She also saw Lu following the war group. He was the guest of the war group, and he was accompanied by Higurashi, Qiuqiu, Windsor and others from the remote control corps.

She saw Lu Shu. He actually carried two bags of roasted sweet potatoes. She didn't know whether to feed them to Yamada or hit him on the head.

Finally, the noisy surroundings gradually subsided, and only the slight sound of the wheelchair was heard. People raised their heads and looked at the dark blue sky without a single cloud.

In the morning of the new life, the bright sunshine spreads, and the temperature it spreads is hearty and warm. Under the light, the city lord wearing a black coat looked down at the people gently.

——The city lord, he was sitting on a floating high platform, looking down at his people.

Behind him is the dazzling dawn.

"—Welcome to Caius Tower."

His voice passed through the microphone and spread throughout the core area.

Tramps from the fringe areas; mercenaries holding weapons; assembly line workers in orange clothes; elite students coming out of the ivory tower; or gray-haired old people supported by their relatives...

They unanimously turned their attention to the city lord.

"...He always stands high." A player's voice came from the crowd.

"Yes, the status is always so good and the status is always so high."

"The entire city-state belongs to him, and the resources we have worked so hard to snatch are just within easy reach for him... His wheelchair, the guns and muzzles he assembled, all our reserves combined are not worth it."

"Shh, keep it down."

The buzzing sound like mosquitoes gradually subsided.

Su Mingan looked at the crowds of heads. They were like a black torrent surging in the streets and alleys.

When the clock strikes twelve noon, all contestants will be teleported together.
