MTL - Number One Player-Chapter 212 New Game [World Situation]
In the evening, the head of the representative of Huaguo dragged his tired body and returned to his residence.
"Today's one-day meeting is full of bullshit," the representative of Hua Guo couldn't help complaining to his colleagues after entering a safe environment, "I didn't say anything of value."
"According to your experience," his colleague rubbed his eyes and forced himself to ask, "How long do you think this is going to last?
"It's a little uncertain," the representative of Hua Guo assessed, "according to the rules before the White Mist Mutation, it would be fine for a year or two; but according to the efficiency of the "Master of Creation" period, This morning we can get things done."
"And now?" He couldn't help shaking his head, "The situation is too chaotic, hey, I can't see clearly, I can't see clearly..."
"There's a distant civilization staring at us," the colleague complained, "and we're still doing these useless wrangling—I wonder, when will we be productive?"
"The earth has been in this stage of competition for hegemony for too long," the representative of China smiled and replied, "It is not like our country, which has a tradition of great unification since ancient times. Since the prevalence of social nationalism in modern times, The division of nations has become a real general trend."
"I want to get back together now," he shrugged, obviously not optimistic about it. "To be honest, it's a bit difficult."
"It's hard for me to really come up with an efficient decision-making system," the representative of Hua Guo said slightly absent-mindedly as he started sorting out today's report documents, "unless..."
"Unless what?" the colleague asked.
"Unless," the representative of Hua Guo paused and said, "there is a large enough external thrust."
My colleague was a little dissatisfied with this reply: "You said, isn't "The Extraordinary Age: Eyes From Afar" still an external thrust?"
"Forget it," the representative of Hua Guo is already middle-aged and elderly, and he has experienced more things and sees more thoroughly, "but Jiuqu did not explicitly say that the civilization represented by the eyes of the distance will be in the How soon will it come to the world?"
"If there are still ten or twenty thousand years," after packing up the documents, the representative of Hua Guo began to prepare to wash up, "then this thrust is equivalent to nothing."
"That's right," my colleague was a little stunned. "After all, in terms of the time dimension of the universe, 10,000 to 20,000 years really doesn't matter. We may really encounter advanced civilizations after 10,000 to 20,000 years."
If the time is extended to this point, then the problems facing the earth right now are indeed not too big of a problem.
- However, Jiuqu is so urgently urging mankind to move forward, do we really still have 10,000 or 20,000 years...
"Thrust," the representative of China on the other end pondered the word he had said, couldn't help but smiled and shook his head again. He greeted his colleagues who were also thoughtful, "Go to sleep, there is another day tomorrow."
The room fell into silence, and in the night sky of New York City outside the window, there were a few faint stars shining with their own brilliance.
------------
When the representatives of China on the other side of the sea began to fall asleep, Shang Yinhe opened his eyes from his sleep.
He turned off the constantly ringing alarm beside him, rubbed his eyes and looked at his watch:
11:00.
Shang Yinhe washed his face, ate a meal, and adjusted his state. It was 12:12:12.
Shang Yinhe lay casually on the bed in the room with a very natural appearance, and the system's voice sounded in his ears on time:
"The rest countdown is over."
"The next round of games is about to begin."
There was a faint glow on the back of the left hand, but it disappeared in an instant.
"The game is in progress..."
"The game is confirmed."
"Game Name: World Wind and Cloud."
"Transmission begins..."
Listening to the indifferent notification sound of the game system, Shang Yinhe started the teleportation again in the familiar sense of dizziness.
"Transmission is complete."
"Jinjiang Game System is here to serve you wholeheartedly."
When the dizziness had not completely disappeared and Shang Yinhe had not had time to open his eyes, he felt a burst of heat on the back of his left hand, as if something had come out of the back of his hand.
Immediately afterwards, he heard Iida's angry accusation in his ears: "Big liar!"
Shang Yinhe opened his eyes quickly and saw Iida fluttering his little wings and shouting at him: "Great Demon King, tell me, do you only remember when you need me to open the box and get the reward? I!"
"I swear there is absolutely no," Shang Yinhe raised his finger to the sky, "Trust me, Iida, after a while, you will be able to appear in the base in a fair manner!"
"You seem to have said that last time!" Iida flew over his shoulder and shouted angrily into his ear.
"It's really not a lie, definitely not a lie," Shang Yinhe said a little helplessly, "I'm already promoting the management draft of the extraordinary pets carried by the field department in the Huaguo Extraordinary Affairs Bureau."
"It's not safe for you to come out now," Shang Yinhe carefully lifted Iida from his shoulders, "Zhang Zhenzhen's girl's Costco—you know, the seaweed we sent out in [Pet Kingdom]. Dongqing - was taken into the research room, studied for a long time before releasing it. I definitely don't want you to be studied like this."
"Really?" Iida lay in Shang Yinhe's palm and looked at him suspiciously.
"Yes, it's absolutely true," Shang Yinhe stroked Iida's feathers, "Iida, you can endure a little longer, and you can come out when the status of an extraordinary pet has a certain guarantee in reality. Now—I've even found an excuse for you to show up."
Iida stared at him for a while, then hesitantly withdrew his gaze: "Oh, then I'll trust you again..."
It flapped its small wings and landed on Shang Yinhe's shoulders again.
After comforting Iida, there is another troublesome person beside me—
With the brave face of the prosperous and beautiful face, the little cloak is incarnating as a human, looking at him faintly.
Facing Shang Yinhe's gaze, the little cloak asked pitifully, "Then... what about me?"
Beauty is so alluring. Shang Yinhe was so shocked by the pitiful expression on his face that he was almost speechless.
It took him a long time to regain his consciousness: "Uh, ah, ha... Well, I will find a way..."
A satisfied smile appeared on the little cloak's face.
It seemed that as long as this promise was made, he really believed it.
He compared a V to Shang Yinhe, then turned into his body again, and threw himself onto Shang Yinhe's body attached, rubbing left and right, and finally calmed down obediently.
Shang Yinhe felt his heart beating.
"Okay," Shang Yinhe sighed helplessly, as if he was making a promise to himself, and as if he was making a promise to the little cloak, "I will definitely find a way."
As if waiting for them to finish playing, when the little cloak quieted down, and when Iida stopped on Shang Yinhe's shoulder and stopped acting like a demon, the voice of the narrator rang leisurely.
Shang Yinhe sometimes suspects that Narrator has his own consciousness, but he is not so sure.
"You are a great revolutionary."
The familiar narrator said leisurely, and Shang Yinhe also listened patiently.
"You sounded the horn of change;"
"You lead the world forward."
Hearing this, Shang Yinhe was already frowning.
"The world is bathed in your light;"
"But can't see your supreme image."
After a pause, the voice of the narrator became high-pitched, and the familiar summary and advocacy of Shang Yinhe began.
"You are always on the right path,"
"You always look to the most correct future!"
The voice of the narrator disappeared, Shang Yinhe savored this sentence, and couldn't help frowning again.
The more you know about the game system, the weirder he sometimes gets.
What is "always on the right path"? Could it be that the game system thinks he is a saint, and the choices he made must be wrong?
What is "always looking to the most correct future"? Is it possible that the game system has also been brainwashed by people in reality, thinking that "Nine Songs" has the ability to predict the future?
But the fact is, he is really just an ordinary person, he has no ability to predict the future and reverse cause and effect...
For him, the process of clearing the game world is not only a painful and persistent journey of struggle, but also a long journey of self-growth and saving the world. This process is full of random factors. No matter how you say it, it has nothing to do with the three words "most correct", right?
After thinking for a while, Shang Yinhe put aside these thoughts and refocused on the game.
This time the game world is called "World Wind and Cloud", and as the name of the game indicates, in front of him is an unfolded world map.
If you look closely, you can also find that this is a world map that records the economic strength and general information of each country.
"So, in this game," Shang Yinhe spread his palm in front of his eyes, just enough to completely cover this huge world map, "Is it true that I can play the whole world with my palms? ?"
The instruction box for the novice guide pops up:
"Welcome to the [World Wind] game world! The following is the guide for beginners, please be patient."
The prompt box in the air disappeared, replaced by a new text guide:
"The page you are currently on is the big map interface."
"On the big map interface, you can view the basic information of each country."
"Click the country, and in the pop-up options interface, select the category of information you want to view, you can view any information."
Following the instructions, Shang Yinhe clicked on Huaguo and selected "Information Summary" in the pop-up tab.
In an instant, countless evaluations appeared on the screen, and the data was so dense that Shang Yinhe was dazzled.
He is not very familiar with these various numbers and terms. What is "the added value of the tertiary industry" and what is "energy consumption per 10,000 yuan of GDP", he is dizzy and unable to understand these figures. Meaning, it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad values.
Before he could study in detail for a while, another prompt from the novice guide appeared in front of him:
"Right now, the game time is still. When time is still, nothing happens and you can do whatever you want."
"You can also click the buttons of [time passing] and [time passing at multiple speeds] to adjust the speed of time passing and start the game pattern change."
Shang Yinhe glanced at the [x1], [x2] and even the time-lapse buttons multiplied by 100 according to the red arrows suggested by the novice, and tentatively pressed a [x1].
In an instant, the value on the Huaguo information panel that was still open began to change at a certain speed.
Shang Yinhe pressed pause again, and the data stopped.
After he finished the operation, the new novice guide box appeared:
"This game is 6 months long."
"At the end of each month, the game provides a summary statement."
—Wait a minute? 6 months of game time?
Shang Yinhe keenly noticed something was wrong.
In all the previous time-limited games, the game was counted as 30 days, why does it become 6 months this time?
Shang Yinhe looked at the 6-month text for a while before thinking of a possibility: at the end of the last game, he was only 150 experience points away from being upgraded to level 5.
Perhaps, after the lv5 upgrade, it will trigger the extension of the game interval, and therefore, the game will be extended from the original 30 days to 6 months.
If you think about it this way, everything makes sense.
Shang Yinhe's eyebrows stretched slightly before continuing to look at the novice guide:
"In the process of advancing time, each country will randomly generate a certain amount of political points."
"Political points are closely related to the situation in each country and will exist in the form of bubbles."
"Click the bubble to harvest political points."
According to the prompt, Shang Yinhe saw his political points box, and he was given 10 political points at the beginning.
With the prompt of the system, the prompt box in the air disappeared again, replaced by a new guide:
"You can use political points to influence national policies and open characteristic routes within the country."
"You can also use political points to open characteristic routes around the world."
According to the game's instructions, Shang Yinhe opened the so-called [feature route] page.
On this page, there are numerous unlocked icons, and different icons require different preconditions and political points, which makes Shang Galaxy dazzled.
The prompt box in the air disappeared, replaced by a new text guide:
"The goal of this game is to make the whole world have a unified commanding voice as much as possible."
Hearing this goal, Shang Yinhe couldn't help taking a breath of cold air.
"There is no limit to the means of operation, no limit to the operation process."
"The grading will be done after the 6-month playtime is over."
"The novice guide is over, I wish you a smooth game."
The prompt box dissipated in the air, but Shang Yinhe was still a little confused.
This newbie guide is too short, right? How did he not understand?
The novice guide is over, and Shang Yinhe has also figured out the functions of the game, but facing the vast map in front of him, he feels at a loss and feels a sense of depression that he can't start.
The original Shang Yinhe did not know much about international politics.
In fact, most ordinary people in China don't care about international politics. They don't know the origin and tragic process of the Israeli-Palestinian war, the various stories behind the disintegration of the red tide, and even the C-type encirclement and the first island chain that have a strong threat to China's periphery.
What they are more concerned about is the rise of domestic housing prices, the change of the college entrance examination policy, the fall of the stock market, the headline news on Weibo, the divorce and the derailment...
This is not wrong. People always pay more attention to the things around them. International politics and ordinary people are not mutually exclusive, so why should they pay attention?
Just like most ordinary people, Shang Yinhe would not focus on those international politics.
Even after he was selected as the number one player by the game system, he was exposed to a lot of information about the changing political situation in the world, but after all, before that, Shang Galaxy had a very poor international political foundation. He had a rough understanding of the five permanent members of the United Nations and some well-known powers. , it's almost there.
However, the game now requires him not only to have a solid grasp of all the relations between international politics, but also to guide the evolution of such international relations to a state of "having a unified commanding voice".
- This...isn't this embarrassing?
—Does this game world regard him as an almighty genius?
After staring at the map for a while, in desperation, Shang Yinhe could only click on the country information on the world map one by one, and began to check it. He planned to make up for some basic information and common sense before making relevant decisions.
The game is very intimate. In addition to data annotations, there are also text annotations, and even many nouns can be clicked to see more explanations. In this way of explanation, link explanation, it mixes various events and puts it in front of Shang Yinhe.
Looking at it, Shang Yinhe became addicted.
The changes in the international political situation are full of various mysteries, many of which are projects that have been kept secret for 20 years or even never deciphered; ordinary people who can only watch on the sidelines often have various conspiracy theories. But still can't get in touch with the truth of the world.
However, in the game system, all the mysteries are completely solved.
It has no concept of secrecy or non-confidence. It shows the stories behind the seemingly messy phenomena in the most straightforward way in a straightforward way.
Who made a secret alliance with whom and when, what kind of confrontation is behind some seemingly simple projects, what conditions can most impress the people of a certain country, and what conditions can most impress the rule of a certain country By…
Looking at all this, Shang Yinhe couldn't help thinking:
"Could it be that the game system is trying to cultivate it into an expert in international affairs?"
With these materials, as long as people who meet the IQ and EQ standards can grasp the bottom line and rhythm of exchanges between countries, they can become a genius-like expert in international affairs.
This will greatly make up for Shang Yinhe's shortcomings in this regard.
"Or..." He looked at the huge world map in front of him and was a little lost, "Does the game system actually have higher expectations for him?"
