Volume 10: Pride and Prejudice in the City-State Chapter 12 But You Are Not Much Better (Part 1)
(Oh my god, I've criticized more than 400 posts, and that's enough. I deleted them all, but no one was banned. Anyway, I deliberately made the plot like this. Li Lin was irritated in the beginning and the female anchor complained in the end. It's just that, emmmm, I don't want anyone to quarrel or attack me directly because of the plot, so I deleted it. Let's discuss normally.)
The magic had shielded the ears and eyes of the old farmer, allowing him to drive the vehicle normally and avoid overturning. It also prevented the old man from understanding the conversation between Li Lin and the former female anchor. It was a kind of auxiliary means.
But that's not the main point.
The important thing is that Li Lin feels very uncomfortable now.
Li Lin felt that he was very angry. He could even be said to be very angry.
In theory, he had done everything he could, avoided everything he could, and just wanted to get through this mission. Is it so difficult to avoid conflicts with the players? And what did those people do? Sneak attack, ambush, and then start trash talking?
This was almost unacceptable to Li Lin. He had always been alone in this game, and it had always been like this. This was the first time such a thing had happened to him. No one had ever dared to treat him like this in a confrontation mission or any other mission. This strangeness and the anger of having his territory violated completely burned his normal thinking circuits, and he even felt like his head was on fire.
Why? Why? How dare they?
I have already humbled myself and given you the conditions, yet you still dare to torment me like this?
It would be uncomfortable if he didn't kill them, and it would be uncomfortable if he didn't kill them all. Moreover, this anger really had no reason. It burst out from his heart almost the moment he saw them being so careless, like some kind of blazing and terrifying mythical flame that burned away Li Lin's sanity.
Even if he killed them once, it was not enough. Even if he killed them all, it was not enough. He had to throw them all out of the map. He had to throw them all out without leaving any of them. There was not a single remnant. There was not a single residue left. He had to throw them out completely. Especially when he recalled how those people seemed to love each other and didn't care, Li Lin felt his mentality collapse. He was so angry that his mouth was dry and he wanted to vent his anger completely.
He also knew that there seemed to be something wrong with his emotions, so he was sulking in the straw cart, but he had no idea where his anger came from.
"I say, Mr. Li Lin?"
The former female anchor who was riding a pony turned around, looked at Li Lin and said:
" You don't really think that everything in this game is everything in reality?"
"Huh? Why do you think so?"
"Because you are in a state where your professional field has been invaded, and you are attacking others like a madman, regardless of your own position and correctness. It's like a master sculptor who is pointed out that his sculptures are actually meaningless 's like, well, losing all reason and being simply angry, unable to even think. I think you are very similar now."
"…What do you mean? Do you think I shouldn't kill those bastards now?"
"Look, that's it. Look at your own face."
The former female anchor shrugged her shoulders, took out a mirror from her pocket and looked at Li Lin without any concern.
What appeared in the mirror was a face that had become extremely gloomy due to excessive anger and malice. The expression was so sinister, as if it was ready to eat someone at any time. Even Li Lin himself was frightened.
"I think there's nothing wrong with thinking this way. Because if you think this way , doesn't it mean that you are willing to favor the world view itself and even abandon the player's position? I think this is a good thing, and you can fully experience the suffering and laughter in the game. But this is still a game anyway."
"What's the meaning?"
"That is to say, there are definitely more than just NPCs in this game, right? Of course there are other players. Although Les Miserables didn't have many players before, it's now a best-seller. There are all kinds of people, so it's not uncommon to encounter this kind of thing. It's very common for players to cheat each other in confrontation missions, spit trash talk, and hunt and kill people everywhere. It's just like you killed me at the beginning."
"I've already said that I was young and frivolous and didn't know better. Now at least I'll have a good conversation--"
"That's exactly what I'm saying. Why communicate? You did the right thing at that time."
"……ha?"
Players are not people who play by the rules. I thought I had figured out the rules, but the former female anchor threw something out of the blue and knocked Li Lin to the ground again, leaving him completely speechless.
How can it be right? You are the one who was cheated in the confrontation mission, and your entire mission progress has disappeared. It would be fine if you didn't scold me, but now you are still talking, laughing, eating and drinking, and still saying that you did nothing wrong? Has this woman finally gone crazy? Surely everything she is showing now is just a peaceful illusion of a mental patient?
Looking at the former female anchor who looked as if it was a matter of course, Li Lin showed an expression of disbelief.
Seeing Li Lin's slightly distorted face, the former female anchor who was suspected to be a mental patient immediately waved her hands and explained:
"It's not what you imagined. How should I put it? From a player's perspective, although I am angry, this is a confrontation mission after all, and there is nothing I can do about it. You see, our two confrontation missions were actually fair competitions, right? So even if I lost, I have nothing to say. However, if I resent someone because of this, it is also natural, because this is such a process, just a matter of course."
"I'm sorry, I didn't understand a word you said. Could you explain to me what you said in modern language that I can understand?"
"Well, it is true. It may be a little difficult to put it this way. Let me put it another way."
Or rather, let me show you something real.
The former female anchor thought about it and took out a steaming barbecue from the bag on the back of the horse.
An alluring aroma penetrated Li Lin's nostrils, making him look at the female anchor in a daze. He had no idea what the woman was going to do with a piece of thigh meat.
"Try it."
Handing over the piece of thigh meat, the female anchor said with a smile:
"I bought this from a relatively secret barbecue restaurant. You'll know after you eat it. I don't have any demand for it anyway. You're not afraid of drugging me, right?"
“…”
Then give it a try.
Looking at the roasted red and black meat that looked sweet and tempting, Li Lin opened his mouth and bit the most tender part.
