Volume 16: The Wheel of Reincarnation Chapter 93: The Wheel of Rebirth is Broken
"Don't be so mysterious. I can just say it directly. Because I am not qualified."
"……ha?"
The man who was about to walk out the door in style, leaving behind only his back, was bound to the spot by this inexplicable curse.
He turned his head sharply and looked at Li Lin with an expression of disbelief.
Not qualified? You are not qualified?
Who in this world is qualified?
If you, who can call the wind and rain in the game, have countless messages and parts entangled in your body, and your intelligence and behavior are all different from ordinary people, don't qualify, then who else in the world is qualified? If you, who was sent directly in a communication file and specially marked as a special target, don't qualify, then who else is qualified?
"There's no need to make such clumsy jokes at this point, Li Lin."
Looking at the seemingly serious Li Lin, the vice president sighed, thinking that this might be a counterattack from him.
After all, it was very embarrassing to have such things said. The vice president could understand his need and thoughts to protect himself, but it was not news or a hot topic. No one would think that what he said was true. On the contrary, the vice president thought that this might be a clumsy and inferior counterattack attitude and mode caused by the mental shock after Li Lin's identity was exposed. But this statement was really unbelievable.
If Li Lin is not qualified, then who is qualified? There are so many players in the game under surveillance, but only Li Lin has shown his command ability as easy as eating and drinking, and his magic empathy, which is the computing power in the words of the players. When such a powerful person said that he was not qualified, the vice president could only smile. If Li Lin is not qualified, then all the more than one billion players in this universe are not qualified. And the most convincing thing is the document, which was delivered in person, what else is there to explain?
"I understand your anger, but please don't joke with such cheap means." The vice president sighed, looked at Li Lin and shook his head helplessly, "We all know your ability and your authority. The things you carry on your body are enough to prove your authority. There is nothing to say."
"ha……"
Li Lin sighed deeply for some reason. He looked at the confident vice president as if he were his own silly son.
"I have been saying from the beginning that I stole the A-level authority, and I have also been saying that I am just a normal person, so I refuse your coming with my current A-level authority. But I am not qualified to sign right or wrong unless my qualification test is completed. So I am not qualified to sign or deny this contract from beginning to end. I am just discussing the relevant theoretical logic with you in my identity. Do you really think I am qualified?"
"Why not? The strongest player, the most rational player, all your actions are close to instinctive perfection. Your behavior and action logic are full of chaos and inexplicable interference, but you always succeed. You even interfered with the operation of the entire universe, didn't you?"
"The first screen upgrade and the politics of the dragon people, I think I remember the time correctly?"
"Ah, my recklessness during my youth has brought harm to me now..."
How did I think of using permissions?
Looking at the confident look of the vice president, Li Lin recalled his arrogant behavior when he just got the authority, and then his panic after finding out it was real. It felt as if he was very happy to pick up a gun in ancient Earth, but then felt uneasy after trying it and finding out it was a real thing.
If you don't report , you'll go to jail.
"I have to correct you."
After rubbing his brows, Li Lin sighed and said:
"You can say that I am the best among the current players, but please pay attention to one thing, pay attention to the common sense over there. I may be the best among the players, but our concept of life is completely different from your world. It is not a world where you can succeed as long as you have ideas, love, or obsession. Our world is not that beautiful. It is a world you can't even imagine."
"There is absolutely no magic, no obsession or desire. Everyone will maintain a peaceful and happy mindset under the care of AI. Everything here is just a test point for us to experience those emotions. And most importantly, there is such a consensus in our world."
"Big people don't play games. And we don't have any real strong feelings."
“…”
Big shots don't play games? Don't get involved in the lower world? No obsessions? No emotions? What the hell is this world?
This hit the vice president's blind spot in knowledge.
What kind of world is a world without strong obsessions and emotions? What kind of world is a world where once emotions become too intense, they are forcibly injected with tranquilizers and related logic-softening drugs? Billions of people are monitored like this? How is this possible?
In a world with obsession and magic, this is completely impossible. Intellect and obsession will not be erased. As long as there is intellect and obsession, even the smallest spark will sooner or later set off a huge wave. Even in a world occupied by demons, the flame of holy light can appear, let alone a world full of reason and thought. People living in magic and obsession simply cannot imagine such a counterintuitive world.
This is like asking people to think about a world without breathing and without matter. It doesn't make sense no matter how hard you try.
"Are you all robots? All it takes is a command and some modifications to change??"
"It's really a bit weird to have an NPC say something like this."
However, in the real world without magic and obsession, what humans call sacredness is nothing more than this.
A few injections, some words, suggestive symbols and signs, a piece of music, an empathetic speech, whatever you want to change a person's mind. Destroying free will and one's own thoughts is as easy as waving a hand and yawning in reality.
Even the creation of memory, simulation of personality, uploading and transcription of mental data are all like this. Why does this super-large-scale universal class online game appear? It is also because they want these idle people and non-labor forces to stay at home honestly and not go out to cause trouble. It is not particularly difficult to use mental poison to extinguish some unnecessary thoughts and select talents that can join.
Although it was an incorrect A-level permission, Li Lin was also very clear about it.
"In other words, the hundreds of millions, tens of billions, and even billions of people you are facing are all in the middle and lower classes of society. There are very few upper classes, and there is no top class at all. You use the middle and lower classes of a social class as the top to deduce the social model. Is there something wrong with your brain? Moreover, with the evolution of cyborgs and electronic brains, each of us has different forms and structures. Is everything you see in the game really their reality?"
"So I've always been curious, why do people treat me like a big shot? Is it because you'd be scared if I were a commoner? Is it because you'd be scared if a commoner had his own integrity and beliefs? Is this why you keep praising me too much?"
"Or is it that a young man who returns lost property is so incredible and despicable in your eyes? Hmm?"
"……What?"
"My point is very simple, what's mine should be mine, and what's not mine is not mine."
Sitting in a high-back chair, Li Lin no longer concealed his contempt.
This person who had always been in a high position no longer wanted to use his peaceful and good veil to reveal his bad nature. He put his feet on the table, crossed his hands behind his head, and swayed his whole body, looking at the stunned vice president with an impatient face.
"What kind of myth am I in your eyes? Are my every move meaningful? Are all my actions meaningful? No, not really. A lot of it is out of interest, I just wanted to do it and it succeeded. Then this success is filled with brilliance and is artificially believed to have inevitable reasons. But is it really like that? Am I such a person in your eyes?"
"Ah, yes, Li Lin is strong, Li Lin is awesome, Li Lin is number one in the game, so what? Just because I am number one in the game does that mean I am a politician? What nonsense is that? Give up your fantasy, NPC. Your reincarnation has been broken long ago, and you shouldn't have existed from the beginning. And my position is very clear, if it's mine, it's mine. I won't steal other people's things, I have dignity. Let me be like the protagonist in those mean dramas, complacent about the luck that was inexplicably bestowed on me, it would be better for me to die."
"So, if it's mine , it should be mine. If I'm really an A-level worthy of the title, I will sign the veto on the day the calculation is completed. If I'm not qualified to sign, then this agreement will be sent to the right person. Don't have any unnecessary expectations of me, Vice President. I'm just Li Lin, not the Messiah you imagine, nor the Apocalypse that others think. I'm just an ordinary Li Lin. All I can do is to govern my position. If I were a civilian, I would do what a civilian should do. And if I were an A-level, I would do what an A-level should do. But now, I'm just a player. And what a player has to do is to make his or her gaming journey wonderful."
"Well, I'll leave you alone now. I have things to do."
There's nothing stupider than talking to NPCs about politics and the future in a game.
Li Lin sighed in self-pity, shook his head, stood up, and walked past the vice president whose expression kept changing, without even looking at him. [Hyperion] 298316354
