Arcade of Death

Chapter 148: The difference in concepts

Views:

As soon as Neo said these words, Yi Xuan was indeed stunned. After a long time, Yi Xuan found that he really couldn't refute it.

First of all, there are no written regulations in the arcade of Death, and there have never been any explanations for the players involved. Everyone is like playing a game without strategy, and everything can only be summarized by yourself. , So don’t talk about any rules, even if there are NPC-like existences like the little girl selling coins or beautiful bartenders, they have never raised any warnings or the like, and there are no similar rules on the game’s watch.

Secondly, in the real world, there is no such precedent for me to learn from. Moreover, according to the previous examples of racers, it is very likely that many people have used the abilities in the game hall in reality. , But their abilities are more concealed and reasonable.

But when he thinks of reasonableness, Yi Xuan suddenly feels that the so-called reasonableness is just his own wishful thinking. What is reasonable? Someone can climb a building hundreds of meters high with bare hands, and some can drift around at a speed of hundreds of meters per hour. These seemingly extreme actions have occurred, so they are naturally classified into reasonable categories in human knowledge, but if Are these superpowers actually? ? Just like the qigong wave used by Neo today, if everyone in the world can use it, wouldn't this thing become reasonable

Because of Yi Xuan's consistent thinking inertia before, he always felt that this kind of thing should not be exposed to the world, maybe because some film and television works suggested to himself, as if some superpowers were discovered by others, they would become the target of public criticism. People who are so ill-intentioned will be arrested and studied, so this kind of thing is best to rot in the stomach and no one should be seen, but this will be reminded by Neo, and suddenly I think whether it is because I wanted to Is this too terrible to think about

However, although I could not find a reasonable reason to refute for a while, Yi Xuan's heart still felt something was wrong. Even if it was used for the time being there was no harm, but it would not necessarily have any benefit. The so-called innocence of everyone. Sin, if it is really used by people who are ill-intentioned, wouldn’t it be right then? Thinking of this, Yi Xuan said loudly, “I didn’t say it can’t be used, but you can’t use it in front of others. What if you attract reporters and the media? What should I do if someone finds out?"

I didn’t know that when I heard him say this, Neo unexpectedly showed an inexplicable expression, "What are you talking about? I just want people to discover, I just want reporters to report on it, and then I’m famous. This is what I want."

"Um" Yi Xuan is completely speechless this time. The thing that emotions worry about the most is that others deliberately do it, so I really worry about eating carrots first. Seeing Neo's enthusiastic expression in front of him, Yi Xuan simply didn't know what to say, this product was completely unreasonable to him.

"Do you use superpowers to be famous?" He asked tentatively. Xin said that his outlook on life, values, and world views are too different. Is it so important to be famous, and it's worth taking so many risks

Neo shrugged noncommittal: "I can't say that. It should be said that it is not entirely for fame, but there should be part of the reason." Neo tilted his head and seemed to think about it: "It's not a bad thing to be famous anyway. , Right? Don’t you think it’s cool to do this? Anyway, I’m going to win this game. If I win a more legendary game, it would be better. After the game, maybe I will become a topical figure. I can go to the reality show, and I can also be on the "Daily Show", that is my favorite show, and then I will be famous, and then I can go to Hollywood to make a movie, wow~ oh, super powers join Hollywood masterpiece, can you imagine it?" The more you fantasize about Neo’s face, the more exaggerated it is. In the end, it shows a frenzy with beautiful scenery in front of you. "At that time, those Hollywood beauties are also at your fingertips. Send me a hug, I can’t wait to think about it.” Neo’s face was intoxicated, as if the beauty of Fragrant Shoulder was already in his arms. Although Yi Xuan didn’t know much about the "Daily Show" or something, he still guessed. The show should be some kind of celebrity talk show.

Looking at Neo's expression, Yi Xuan had already given up the idea of persuading him in his heart. Well, he finally had to admit at this time that the thinking styles of himself and Neo seem to be completely different. But when you think about it, it doesn't seem too difficult to understand that there is a huge difference between the thinking styles of Chinese and Americans. The Chinese believe in the doctrine of the mean. After thousands of years of inheritance, this concept has been deeply rooted in everyone's mind and melted into everyone's principles of doing things.

Although as a post-80s Yi Xuan has accepted various concepts of competition since birth, he still understands the truth that the rafters are rotten first. Don’t call yourself a small citizen, even rich and powerful people understand this truth, so even if they have money, they hide it, for fear of being known by others as a rich person, and the officialdom is even more powerful. You can go further by hiding deeper. The same is true of superpowers. If you don’t believe me, you can read all kinds of Chinese novels, whether it’s martial arts or Three Kingdoms, but most people living in seclusion in the mountains and old forests, or indifferent to fame and fortune, farming and flowers, or else. Fishing alone in the mountains and rivers, and also very hypocritical, although they are very powerful, but they are easy to do, afraid of causing trouble, generally want to ask these people to learn martial arts or do errands, it is not at least to kneel in front of the door for three days and three nights. Three visits to the thatched cottage.

But in contrast to all kinds of American film and television works, all superheroes live in New York. They are afraid that others don’t know that they have superpowers, so they wear tights when they go out. They must be distinguished from the working people. What we are superheroes are not, and American superheroes act to save people cheaply like Chinese cabbage, go to the earth to destroy, small old ladies cross the road, as long as they see it must act, so Americans seem to be particularly keen on being famous. If you understand the behavioral characteristics of Americans, it is not difficult to understand why this Neo would not take this matter seriously. Perhaps he still hopes that one day he will become a legend like Superman.

Na Neo looked at Yi Xuan’s face changing and fell into his own contemplation. He seemed a little disapproving. He was a little discouraged that his words did not resonate with Yi Xuan, so he didn’t care if Yi Xuan listened. Continue to say: "Actually, when I first came to participate in the competition, I was planning to get a superhero costume, but after designing it, I always felt that I was copying Superman and Spiderman. Besides, I was wearing this figure. The tights were a bit too silly, so I gave up later, but the identity of a fighter with superpowers is more suitable for me." He said that he was stunned, and I felt a little bit for my careful consideration. proud. Looking at Yi Xuan, there was still no response, and he asked: "Oh, when are you going to show your ability to the world? Or are you not loading your core ability?"

Yi Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard him say this. The last time he punched him, he didn't use too obvious core ability tricks. In the last trick, he used some blinding tricks. He didn't expect this Neo to look down on himself because of this. It seems that in their concept, if they have the ability, they have to use it, and it is really incomprehensible to hide the horse. Thinking of this, I said: "I don't intend to expose my core competence." One sentence has already clearly admitted that I have core competence.

Neo stopped and curled his lips, "Whatever you do, but I still want to say that it is a bit silly to have such a powerful ability but not use it for your own profit."

Yi Xuan said by heart. In my eyes, I still think you are stupid. Forget it, there is no way to explain the difference in concepts, so I don't bother to reason with him.

However, after this conversation, the unpredictable feeling that Neo had originally left him can be said to have completely disappeared. Not only that, but Yi Xuan felt that he was a little bit inferior to him at this time, although the strength of this product is impressive. Very tough, but after combining his remarks and previous performances, Yi Xuan's comment to him now is completely a middle-two boy.

However, with this change of view, he has become less alert to Neo, but he has a more favorable impression, and said indifferently: "Everyone has his own ambitions. I have no interest in being famous, so let's forget it."

Neo stopped and nodded: "That's right, you were bought by me because of this, then I will see you in the final." He opened the closet and looked like he was ready to change clothes. Yi Xuan felt a little bit in his heart when he said this. I'm a bit unhappy, this foreigner speaks really straightforwardly, but it's not necessarily that I am not being bought by you now.

Before Neo did not take off his pants openly, Yi Xuan quickly turned around and left the lounge. At the same time, he decided to himself that it would be better not to meet Neo too frequently in the future. Since this product has been exposed, it is probably very good. He will soon receive media attention. Maybe there will be some interest groups that will monitor him. I don’t want to be on a reality show or get in trouble, so I’d better stay away from him. It's good, so as not to suffer from the panic.

As soon as he returned to his room, Yi Xuan’s cell phone rang suddenly. When he saw that the phone number was Yang Kai, he said that the group match hadn’t been finished yet, and the good news was not right now. I picked it up strangely, and the opposite came immediately. Yang Kai's excited voice.

"Damn! Yi Xuan, did you watch today's match? Did you watch it? It was Achilles's match. Achilles’ opponent was a bunker, and he was able to make waves, a real qigong wave. , Didn’t you read it!” Yang Kai’s words were fast, and he was really excited at the moment. I guess he couldn’t hold back his feelings and wanted to find someone to share with him. At this time, he could understand and be present. Yi Xuan was the only one in this situation, so he hurriedly called.

"Relax, relax." Yi Xuan hurriedly said, "I watched the game."

"I said, what's the origin of that product? It can actually make waves. I have seen it now. I used to think that you are abnormal enough. This product is even more abnormal than you." Yang Kai was finally able this time. I spoke normally, but the tone still sounded a little high and low, and it seemed that he was still in shock.

Yi Xuan couldn't help but smile when he heard it. Yang Kai was right. This product is indeed abnormal enough, and he can make waves, but if he dared to emerge from the crowd in the hall on the ring, he definitely didn't have the courage. .

"This product is indeed a bit abnormal." Yi Xuan said with emotion.

Of course Yang Kai didn’t hear Yi Xuan’s illocutionary meaning, and said, “That’s right. This guy is too powerful. Fortunately, he wasn’t in the same group with you. Superpowers, let me go, who will be with him? Who’s unlucky?” After a while, he said: “Oh, you said no matter how good the fighting is, what's the use of fighting? If you meet such a guy, no matter how hard you work hard, it’s nothing. If I can use it too, yes. With this kind of ability, I’m willing to die.” In the last few words, Yang Kai said in a relatively small voice, and he seemed a little lost. Yi Xuan couldn’t help but feel a little moved. Yang Kai has liked Sanda since he was a child, and he has also been in special forces. Free kick coach, also participated in a lot of big and small events, but he was still under the wind when he met himself. He was already very shocked. I didn't expect to encounter another existence that is more against the sky today. It is impossible for him not to be depressed. .

This Yang Kai really loves martial arts, Yi Xuan thought to himself, he actually said such things in order to obtain superpowers, he was very annoyed by Shen Pengfei’s involvement at the beginning, if the two people’s encounters could change the situation. How good, thinking of this, he moved in his heart, tentatively asking: "Are you really willing to die for this ability?"

"Yes." Yang Kai replied almost without thinking. After a short pause, it seemed to reflect something, and then said with a smile: "Of course you can't die right away. If you have super powers, you have to let it go. I’m cool for a few years, anyway, it’s okay to live ten or twenty years less, but it’s useless to say that, even if I’m willing to live a few decades less, I can’t learn it, in case someone is born with abilities. Well, even if it wasn't, he wouldn't be able to teach me, haha." Yang Kai laughed at himself twice, as if he also felt that what he said was too ridiculous and right to be a joke.

Yi Xuan hesitated for a while and blurted out, "Actually, it's not impossible."

"What did you say?" Yang Kai suddenly became interested when he heard it, and asked in a loud voice: "Do you have a way?"

Yi Xuan regrets this meeting a little bit. He is already unlucky enough. There is no need to involve others. Even if Yang Kai said it refreshingly now, it is estimated that this is what he said, and even if he is really willing to live his life. There is no way for him to enter the game hall now.

At the beginning, Shen Pengfei took him to the game hall but used an invitation card. This invitation card seems to be very rare. I haven't hit one after playing for so long. It's better not to say too badly, Yi Xuan heard Yang Kai's loneliness just now, and moved his compassion. At this time, it was still a little wrong to think about it, so he hurriedly laughed: "Hehe, kidding, if I really have the ability, I will find a way to go. learned."

"Oh, that's true." Yang Kai said with a little disappointment.

"Okay, okay, I will have a game tomorrow. Let's not talk about Brother Yang, and take a break earlier." Yi Xuan made a joke but made Yang Kai's mood even more depressed. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and the two casually said something. Sentence hung up the phone.
