Reality and ideals are always difficult to reconcile.
Facing the top elites from other worlds, Ye Yu really couldn't hold up the scene. He successfully reached the quarterfinals of the hero group, but only reached fourth place in the round robin, and failed to even get the top three.
It’s hard to get an upset in the round robin, and the result was pretty much what everyone guessed before the game. Leo and Elsa won the championship and runner-up respectively, but the third place suffered a minor upset - Kratos from the Secret Towers Federation. Although he lost the battle with Ye Yu, he won third place with the advantage of winning more than other players.
According to the rules of the round robin, each player has to play one game with the other seven players. The winner gets two points, the loser gets no points, and each side gets one point if they are willing to shake hands and make peace. Leo won seven games and gained 14 points; Elsa won six games and lost to Leo once, earning 12 points; Kratos lost to Leo, Elsa and Ye Yu once each, and the rest of the games They all won, with eight points; Yeyu lost two games, won two games, and drew three games, with only seven points.
As for the remaining players, the fifth place has six points for two wins and two draws, the sixth place has five points for one win and three draws, the seventh place has three points for three draws, and the last place has one draw in total and only got one. point.
Ye Yu was naturally very dissatisfied with this ending. He refused to accept the fourth place reward and left shouting "I will be stronger next time."
Kratos was very happy. After accepting the award, this big man who had previously spent his life entertaining the audience in the arena stepped down and went straight to the gate of the amusement park to give his trophy to Ling Ming - the reason why he was able to get rid of the slave gladiator. The identity was because Ling Ming remembered that he had a good relationship with him in the gladiatorial arena and helped him pay the ransom after making money.
That night, they ate and drank at the street food stalls with Fafnir and Shuge, and they were very happy. A few strong men who were both the lowest and the highest level ate crude and spicy barbecue, drank thin wine with no other merits except being clean, talking and laughing, and were in high spirits.
This group of people can be regarded as a unique scenery in the Void Mask Playground. They are powerful, happy, and unrestrained and free. Qiao Xiu was also part of this happy gang before, but since he became the patrol general of the Northwest Republic, he can no longer feel so comfortable. During the party at night some time ago, Fafnir and Shuge often muttered that "four people can sit at a table to be considered complete." Today, they finally filled up the last seat.
As for the fact that two of the four people around the table are monsters - this is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning. Even the owner of the food stall doesn't care, so how can others still complain about it
Coincidentally, there were also a few friends eating and drinking at another food stall not far away.
The Third World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament allowed Morani to gain a lot of faith and divine power. He was so happy that he dragged Sui Xiong, Weiye and Wo'er to have a meal together to celebrate. Originally, he planned to call his good brother Mo, as well as Joel Gardman, Akane, and the god of healing named "Three Wus" by Sui Xiong. But Mo said that he had drunk too much and didn't want to move around today; Joel Gardman was away from home for something; Akane's father, Twila, had recently had a second spring and insisted on dragging him to meet his potential stepmother. He wanted to meet the lady; as for Sanwu... Morani looked at Him for about three minutes, then gave up and left dejectedly, unable to say any words of invitation.
"Don't mind, four people are just right." Sui Xiong, who had turned into a bald man, persuaded him with a smile, "A table has exactly four sides. Let's sit on one side each. After eating, we can also play mahjong or poker."
"... Four gods gathered around the street to gamble. Don't you think it's a bit strange, Your Majesty?" Wall frowned and hurriedly advised.
Before Sui Xiong could speak, Weiye had already handed the wine glass to Wall: "Why are you so old-fashioned? No one here can recognize us anyway. Let alone gambling on the street, even if I take off my clothes and sing and dance, Does anyone know it's me?"
Wall's face suddenly turned dark. He guessed... Weiye might really be able to do this.
Celebration Boys' work style has always been free and uninhibited, and they don't take social criticism seriously at all. Not to mention the current situation where mortals cannot recognize His identity, even if mortals could recognize Him, He would still be able to sing and dance naked without any pressure...
Going out to have fun with this kind of person, the God of Knowledge with a relatively upright personality is really a bit too much to bear.
The worst thing is, seeing His Majesty's eyes shining with eagerness to try, He is afraid that he will really accompany the celebration boy to cause trouble, and maybe even drag himself and the Iron Lion together, and the four gods will take advantage of the night to get drunk and go crazy, stage Big streaking…
(If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come out!)
Wo'er regretted so much that his intestines turned green, and secretly made up his mind that no matter what His Majesty said in the future, as long as the celebration boy was around, he would never go out to eat or drink together!
Fortunately, Morani was reliable after all and did not follow Weyer's hesitation. He didn't object directly, but changed the subject.
"Oscar, your real body has been lying on the conference table for more than ten years. Don't you feel bored?" He asked.
Speaking of this, Sui Xiong suddenly became a little lazy, and slumped down on the chair: "I feel as if my body has been hollowed out, and I always can't cheer up. It's not bad to just lie down like that, you see. Turtles just lie down all day long."
"When the tortoise actually escapes, it actually runs quite fast," Morani said.
"Ah? Really? I don't study well, so don't fool me!"
"Your Majesty, it's true." Wall said, "I just searched and it's true."
"I'll go..." Sui Xiong was speechless, "But it doesn't matter, I'm also very fast when I really run away!"
"You are a jellyfish, not a turtle." Weyer said with a smile.
"Jellyfish and jellyfish are two different things!" Sui Xiong protested, "Jellyfish are only called jellyfish when they are caught, washed and peeled into food."
"You look like you're lying motionless all day, but you're just a plate of jellyfish!" Weyer laughed. "You've even poured the vegetable juice on your body, and you're just waiting to slice it into pieces and put it on the plate."
Sui Xiong was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, but when he thought about it, he couldn't help laughing.
"Don't tell me, when I think about it carefully, it looks quite similar!"
Even Wall couldn't help but laugh now.
After laughing, Wei Ye persuaded: "It's not a problem for you to lie down all the time. People will become lazy if they don't do anything all the time. Gods are the same. You have been resting for so many years. Find something to do. How about doing it?”
"But what can I do?" Sui Xiong asked, "At present, everything in the territory and the church is on the right track. If I intervene rashly, good things may turn into bad things."
"Find something else you like to do." Veyer said, "What do you like to do?"
"Drawing, designing, games." Sui Xiong twirled his fingers, "There's nothing to use for drawing or anything like that. Design... I've designed enough over the years, and I've designed and built such a large Void City. , I can’t think of too many ideas to design anything else at the moment... What do you think of me building another city?"
"Not very good." Morani shook his head, "I believe you can build another city, but do you have that many people to live in?"
Sui Xiong thought for a while and shook his head: "No, it will be a ghost town after it is built, forget it."
"So, what about the game?" Morani asked.
"This is even more impossible. I can make a game, but the players are limited!" Sui Xiong sighed, "There are too few people in this world who have money and leisure to play games! At present, the players are almost saturated. Even if I launch New games are nothing more than reducing the number of players of old games, and have no other use than a waste of resources."
As he talked, He looked lazy again and couldn't cheer up.
"You can do something else," Morani said. "I remember at the public trial that year, you said you wanted to promote the concept of fear and change the camp. Why not start doing it now."
Sui Xiong thought for a while and nodded: "This is possible, but how should I start and where should I start?"
"It depends on you." Weyer said irresponsibly, "We are just giving you a heads up."
Sui Xiong smiled and thought carefully.
Although he said at the time that he would use various propaganda methods to subtly change people's perception of "fear". But in detail, it is not that easy.
Horror film? Horror game? To be honest, he thought about it carefully and realized that not only would that kind of thing not eliminate the negative factors of "fear", but it would actually strengthen people's negative impression of the concept of "fear"!
At least before he traveled back in time, he had heard that some people were afraid to go to the toilet alone at night after watching a horror movie, and finally took a drink bottle to solve the problem.
Of course, that was an extreme example, but even Sui Xiong himself, after playing horror games, would be suspicious of everything he saw for a while.
(Why does this happen? Probably because of the "unknown". The unknown creates fear, such as darkness and loneliness. These will strengthen people's feeling of "unknown", so they will make people feel fear.)
Sui Xiong was not a rookie who didn't know anything. He had a preliminary idea after thinking about it for a while.
(I can first create a "fear experience game" to allow players to experience real dangers - for example, what does darkness like hiding ghosts, monsters, etc. look like? How is it different from ordinary darkness? This is good !)
(Why are ordinary people afraid of ordinary darkness, but adventurers don’t take it seriously at all? Because they have truly been exposed to the kind of darkness that lurks danger, and that feeling is actually completely different from ordinary darkness. As long as there are enough With correct experience, fear is actually not a threat or pressure, but an effective early warning, which can allow adventurers to better avoid danger.)
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt eager to try.
"I've decided!" he said, "I'm going to make a new game!"
"What game?" Weiye is a game fan, and he perked up when he heard the game.
"I want to collect the experiences of ordinary adventurers, how they felt during the adventure, and then let the players take on their roles and experience their feelings at the time." Sui Xiong said, "Those really dangerous things, Really scary things are actually very different from the so-called 'fear' that we usually come into contact with. As long as you truly experience them, you will naturally not be afraid of the darkness in life and other hypocritical terrors."
The gods nodded repeatedly, and Morani couldn't help but praise: "What a great idea!"
"Then what are you going to name this game?" Weyer asked with interest.
Sui Xiong raised his eyebrows, laughed a little slyly, and then said slowly: "Of course... infinitely terrifying!"
