[Chapter 383 New Home and Real Hardcore]
On the twentieth day of the winter month and the fifteenth day of the extreme cold wave, the temperature finally reached the lowest temperature of 71.2 degrees. At 8 a.m., Shuguang released the first message through the radio: The extreme cold wave will end at 8 a.m. on the 22nd of the winter month. The highest temperature is expected to be minus 25 degrees below zero and the lowest temperature is minus 45 degrees.
At early nine o’clock in the morning, Shuguang released the second message: There were 400 surviving players.
Suguang then released a third message: Registration for New Home will begin in five minutes, and the registration deadline is 9:08 a.m. on the 22nd. Registration requirements vary depending on the management model. The leadership system only requires the consent of the leader. Once signed up, members will be dragged into their new home even if they leave the base. In a collective system, the minority naturally obeys the majority. The base of a personal system must be agreed upon by everyone.
Dawn description: Players will select bases in the order of registration. The first method: transfer method. Directly move your base to an open space somewhere in your new home, requiring that there be no buildings on the open space. The second method: replacement method. Assuming that the safe area of the old base is 1,000 square meters, it can be replaced with a base with a safe area of no more than 1,000 square meters in the new home base.
Shuguang: New Home has a total of four system-recommended large bases, fifteen system-recommended medium and large bases, thirty medium-sized bases, sixty small and medium-sized bases, and one hundred and twenty small bases.
Dawn: The base and all its members who have not signed up after the time limit will enter the true hardcore mode after the end of winter.
There is no difference in the way points are calculated between Dawn: A New Home and True Hardcore modes.
Dawn: Everyone has the right to choose a new home. If you give up your rights, it is deemed to have accepted all the rules of the true hardcore mode.
Dawn: After simulation deductions, the 6-month survival rate of players in New Home is 60%. The 10-day survival rate of truly hard-core players is 20%, and the 6-month survival rate is less than two thousandths.
Shuguang: I wish everyone a happy game and goodbye.
Today’s news was very exciting. While everyone was still digesting the information, Lin Wu jumped up first: “Did I say it? Did I say it? Why sell air conditioners? Why sell ice machines? Did I say it? Haha, Shu generation, Your routine is limited to this.”
Shana reminded: “The key point is the true hardcore mode.”
Lin Wu said: “The more terrifying Shuguang describes true hardcore, the more guilty it is. I choose true hardcore.” However, In five seconds, Lin Wu had already made a decision. Even if the Shadows all went to their new home, he was going to True Hardcore. Without him, he just wants to compete with Shuguang.
Shitou said: “Everyone should express your opinion, time waits for no one.” If you want to sign up for a new home, you must sign up quickly to grab a strong position. The individual system is the most troublesome and requires the consent of all members. For a command-based base like the Sawmill Starlight Base, just point Starlight. They were definitely the first ones to pick their spots.
However, even if you can’t seize four big bases, you can just move the bases there, so it’s not a big problem.
Xiaodao looked at Lin Meng: “What should I do?”
Lin Meng: “I’m communicating. It said that the fortress agent mission will be at the end of winter. I can play as I like. You can join the base and go to the new home together, or you can join the base and go to the real hard place. Core can also survive alone. But like you, I cannot be resurrected again, and I will not be able to use the safe house in the true hardcore mode.”
Some people thought, some whispered to each other, and Stone waited for a long time and asked: “Tell me about your own Opinion, Maya, Shana.” Although Lin Wu had directly stated his attitude, he could easily handle it because his reason was just to argue with Shuguang and lacked a core idea.
Maya stood up: “I personally prefer true hardcore, but I obey the majority opinion.” With Maya’s character, choosing true hardcore is not surprising at all, and it seems that nothing can stop her from going to danger and difficulty. However, judging from Maya’s statement, she is not determined and it is okay to go to her new home.
Shana stood up: “A new home must be a new home. We have good points now. When we get to the new home, with our ability and strength, there is no problem in surviving for another two quarters. I don’t agree with Lin Wu’s opinion. I think true hardcore is really dangerous, not to mention the possible demise of Shadow, the risk of attrition within two seasons should be extremely high. Therefore, I support the new home.”
There were no words of compromise in her words, indicating that she was relatively firm Support new homes.
Shitou made a mental note of her. It would be difficult to convince Shana to change her stance. She clearly analyzed the pros and cons.
Xuedan said: “I support Shana. Real hardcore is harder than New Home, no matter how hardcore it is. At present, I haven’t found Dawn to play the bipolar reversal routine. There is a saying that although Dawn is very bad, it never lies. In it No language traps were found in the released information.”
Two votes for New Home.
Xiao Dao spoke next: “Xue Dan and I have experienced an unbearable journey, and I know how important the shadow is to me. I am willing to challenge the hard core, but I respect the decision of the majority.”
Xiao Dao’s speech obviously has no weight, and it is still Two votes for a new home.
Su Shi: “As a support staff, I will definitely choose a low difficulty because of my unique talents. I don’t want to be a burden to everyone.”
Three votes for New Home.
“I can do it. A new home is a new home.” After Lin Meng finished speaking, seeing Lin Wu looking at him, he couldn’t help but said: “It’s okay to be really hardcore.” Being angry, angry with yourself, why should you be afraid of him?
After Lin Meng finished speaking, everyone looked around. Shana: “Stone?”
Shitou smiled bitterly and said, “I didn’t expect that the one who deserved the most damn would be me. I chose the really hard core.”
Shitou’s attitude was beyond everyone’s expectations. Although the attributes of stone are not bad, as a Zhan Wu Zha with extremely low combat level, he actually wants to go to the real hard core.
Shana asked: “Shitou, do you think it is easier to be really hard-core?”
“No, I agree with you, I think it is definitely difficult to be really hard-core.” Shitou was silent for a moment, then said: “These two months…how should I say? First of all, Lin Wu. I particularly like Lin Wu’s courageous character. Although he is brainless, he is really happy. I am doing well in the Blue Star business, but I miss the successful period when I was not making money every day, buying cars and wine. What I miss is the entrepreneurial period when I had nothing.”
Shitou: “I’m only thirty-five years old. I think I’m very young. Although you sound like an old guy and you sound like an uncle. But I really feel that I’m still young. Yes, I My response to action is not as good as yours. In fact, I am also clumsy in reality. I have been very bad at handicrafts since I was a child.”
Shitou seemed to not know what to say. He stood for a long time before saying: “I divorced my ex-wife because I saw my head and was whipped. I was very happy when I moved to China. Just like playing a game, you already know the plot, you have the ability to pass the level, and everything after that is meaningless.”
Shitou waved his hand, thinking that he did not express himself clearly, and thought for a while and said: “What if I have lost the courage to challenge even one game. I can already see the rest of my life after arriving on earth at a glance. I can only invest the wealth exchanged by points and live a retired life.”
Shitou: “The hard-core mode is for me. There’s no point in saying it. I never showed it because I knew you couldn’t understand that an old man, an uncle, and a scumbag actually had the courage.”
Shitou: “Unlike you, you are young and beautiful, with infinite good times. As an old man, the older you get, the more you can feel the ruthlessness of time, very fast, very fast. What I fear most is not losing wealth, but losing courage. Of course, I’m not saying that you are wrong. You chose to be very rational and logical, but it was me who was emotional.”
At this point, Shitou was at a loss for words and said, “I choose to be really hardcore.”
After hearing these words, Lin Meng felt a little distressed. : “Uncle, you may not survive ten seconds.” Before signing up, Shitou can leave the shadow and form his own base to participate in true hardcore. Lin Meng’s tone and attitude showed that she was convinced by Shi Tou, and she supported Shi Tou’s challenge to the real hardcore, but she knew very well that Shitou might not survive long in the real hardcore mode. Even Lin Wu couldn’t survive alone for long.
“Ten seconds is ten seconds.” Shitou said: “I really think you should go on together and don’t imitate me. I have enjoyed all kinds of luxurious life. I never worry about losing my wealth. I only worry about losing my courage. But you have to keep going, because in your future, you will find that money is really important.”
In the silence, Maya spoke first: “Money is not important to me, because I have a system. If you insist, Shitou, I can accompany you.”
Lin Meng raised his hand: “I also have a system, I am quite an uncle.”
Shitou hurriedly said: “No, no, don’t give up your own future and money to support me. What’s the use of having an organization? Before I got divorced, I owned a private shuttle that can travel between Blue Star and Earth in a month. Maya, you have You can’t starve to death, but you can’t live in a free apartment building if you don’t have money? You have to queue up every day to take a bus, and you have to drive a cheap car wherever you go. Don’t persuade me, and don’t follow me. I won’t accept your impulse. , resulting in the loss of a lot of money. I don’t want to be responsible for anyone.”
The last sentence is very lethal, and Shitou will not accept anyone choosing to be really hardcore in order to support him.
Shitou added: “If possible, after the cold wave is over, can you find a way to help me get the armored vehicles back. I will exit the base first, and you guys will make a decision as soon as possible.” “You
don’t have enough manpower to open a new base, so you can’t make an alliance.” Lin Wudao said : “Let’s hang out in my tent base first.”
Shitou: “Aren’t you in a hurry to choose a location for your base?”
“My base is everywhere. Besides, my new homeland only has one small county and two small towns. I can ride on the Phantom and move around casually. Let’s go.” Lin Wu said: “Shadow will choose an address and tell me the location. If it’s convenient, I’ll choose a nearby building. If it’s not convenient, I can easily find Shadow.” Brother is a man who has traveled three thousand miles and traveled two miles.
The stone moved quickly, breaking away from the base and joining the tent base. Shitou clapped his hands to attract everyone’s attention: “Boys and girls, hurry up and sign up.”
Lin Wu said, “How about we get some fuel and go have a drink.”
Shitou nodded: “Maya, take responsibility.” After saying this,
Lin Wu said Shi left the bonfire room, and Lin Wu carried a bottle of fuel and went downstairs, saying: “Old man, take responsibility, there is something in this sentence.”
Shi Shi smiled and said nothing: “I won’t tell you.”
Lin Wu asked: “Could it be that Maya’s goal is the Fortress Ring? That’s why you reminded her not to act out of emotion.” Unexpectedly,
Shitou was stunned and said, “That would be interesting.” As a guard, Maya turned out to be the largest shareholder of the Earth Fortress Company.
Lin Wu wanted to speak, but Shi Shi pushed him: “Hurry up and freeze to death.”
…
At the bar, Shi Shi, who was a guest bartender, poured Lin Wu a cup of hot black tea: “Sir, why don’t you get some ice water?”
“This kind of thing” You can speak your mind and pay attention to your identity.” Lin Wu: “You old guy who destroys unity.”
Shitou was dissatisfied: “How to destroy unity? I just want to do what I want to do at the end of the game. Or Do you think I want to farm? Sitting on a chair for an hour every day like a fool? This is called work. It is what society requires of you. Going to the real hard core is retirement, my reward for myself.”
Shitou poured himself a glass of Coke: ” You young people claim to be innovative, but you have never jumped out of the social diving rules. If you resist your boss, you think you are a new human being. But you don’t even understand what self is. Self means that you are not affected by other people and pay for your own actions. A stubborn emotion.”
Shitou said: “When more than 99% of people think your behavior is wrong, and social and family pressure puts you under full pressure, can you still stand firm and stick to your heart? Lin
Wu: “Since so many people are against it, maybe it’s wrong.”
Shitou said: “Many people still think that Blue Star is a flat surface. Everyone thinks they are very ignorant. I also think they are very ignorant. Do you think that in the past My ability to choose true hard core is self-destruction, which is incomprehensible. Is there any difference between the two? Lin Wu, the most important thing is not how long I can live in true hard core, or whether I can live well. It is whether I dare to Dare to pursue a slim hope that even I don’t believe in.”
Shitou: “For example. At my age, shouldn’t I believe in everlasting love? I have experienced it personally and learned from books. I know that there is no long-term love, there is only the running-in family affection between husband and wife and the theory of suitability and inappropriateness. But I believe in love. You will say that you, a capital vampire, can believe in simple and beautiful love, it is so funny.”
Shitou said : “Although I don’t have it around me, although I haven’t seen it or discovered it, even if there is no long-term, pure and beautiful love in the entire Blue Star, I still believe that there is, and it exists, and I may be the lucky one.”
Lin Wu : “It goes against the logic of human thought. Just like you said that Blue Star is a plane, it goes against the basic facts.”
Shitou smiled and said: “Let me ask you a question. Can you be 100% sure that I will never be able to do it in the true hardcore mode? Survive and survive until the end of the game?”
Lin Wu was startled: “Of course it’s not 100%, everything is possible.” “
Everything is possible, that’s very good. I believe in love, that is, everything is possible.”
Lin Wu nodded: “Life is so nourishing, you can hold on after eating enough.”
Shitou said: “It kind of means that.” It’s like going to the deep sea to see the Titanic submarine, how beautiful can a sunken ship be? So why do passengers risk going to the deep sea? In addition to mistrusting bad people, another reason is that this journey is an experience that no one else has, a unique experience that belongs to a very small number of people.
Lin Wu: “From the bonfire room to here, I think your words are very fragmented. Have you never considered this issue, so your words are difficult to cohere, and you do not clearly express your meaning.”
Shitou admitted. : “Yes, I have never thought about it in detail. But after seeing the choice between true hardcore and New Home, my soul told me that New Home is a reskinned hardcore mode. It is so boring that I can even see the big The ending. True hardcore is full of unknowns and challenges, and it is not a 100% fatal situation.”
Shitou: “If you want me to explain clearly why I insist on true hardcore, I can’t explain it, at least for the time being.”
Lin Wudiandian Head: “How many people do you think would be willing to go to real hardcore with you?”
Shitou thought for a long time and said, “There should be no one except you.”
“Oh, why would I go to real hardcore?” Lin Wu Scoffed: “My previous statement is pure nonsense.”
“It just feels like you, a bitch like you, will choose the real hard core. Especially when you have your own base and are not directly constrained by the shadow.” Shitou said: “Homeland. The game is very fun, but sooner or later, no matter how fun the game is, you will get tired of it, especially for people like you who have basically understood the game mechanics. You will definitely choose the unknown and true hardcore instead of the new homeland that has been reskinned.”
