CHAPTER 42: A LITTLE FLAG

Mencius said: "A gentleman is to a beast, and when he sees his life, he can't bear to see his death; Hearing its voice, I can't bear to eat its flesh. It is a gentleman who cooks far away. Literally, it means that a gentleman has compassion and can't bear to see killing, so he stays away from the kitchen.

In the past, Tong knew the meaning of this sentence from the commentary, but he didn't quite agree with it, because the essence of human existence is to plunder resources, if you want to eat meat, there must be an animal to be killed, while I can't bear it, and at the same time I say that meat is very delicious, isn't that hypocritical? Since you like to eat, don't have extra emotions, like it generously, and eat happily.

Later, the fish told her that liking and rejecting cannot be one thing, and that although they seem to occur interdependently, they are often two things. The killing scene is usually very bloody, and only 0.5 out of 10 people can accept doing it themselves, 5 people can accept the meat that has been processed and can be placed directly on the cutting board, and the rest simply do not like to touch the kitchen, preferring to eat ready-made.

Based on this, everyone will generally accept it, and even enjoy the killing of all sides in the game, killing one monster after another, and the ground is full of corpses, and you won't feel that there is any problem, because although it is happening in front of you, it is not in front of you, but it is a virtual reality.

The screen is like a wall between reality and illusion, always reminding you of what is true and what is false, and you will never have excessive feelings about what is happening on the screen, unless it is joy, sorrow and fear, extreme enough to provoke your emotional tentacles.

So, what about holographic games?

Tong subconsciously stopped the task again, and she thought deeply about such a question.

There are all kinds of quest monsters in the game, humanoids, all kinds of animal-shaped ones that can be found in reality, and some strange stitching monsters, and finally there are fantasy shapes, which look weird. Not to mention anything else, the humanoid must be a challenge, in the clouds, you can do anything to the humanoid, killing him will not be a burden, and this kind of knife-like action is often only in the form of you pressing a button, and then the game character reads the bar, and to put it deeper, you just cut off his head...... Probably won't be too exciting.

The player can't see it, and it can't feel it.

But in holographic games, all characters exist in a one-to-one ratio, coupled with a high degree of reality and virtuality, you won't be able to let go of fighting and "killing" without burden, and you may not even be able to get used to it, because this is not at all in line with our long-standing values and worldview.

"If the final mission out of the village is to defeat a humanoid monster, can I do it?" Tong muttered to himself again.

She felt that she might not be able to do it, she had fights when she was a child, but they were all small fights between children, and she would fight wherever her fists went, without skill and logic at all, and generally not make a lot of trouble.

But the monsters in the game are different, only you live and die between each other, and the player can't beat it, that's dead.

"If you die, although you will be resurrected, it always feels a little weird, and that humanoid monster will be much more powerful than me, a rookie player who has just entered the rivers and lakes."

For the first time, Tong felt that he had thought too little before deciding to play this game.

This kind of difficulty is like asking a weak scholar who has no power to go up the mountain to become a bandit and specialize in robbing rich merchants.

"That being said, I don't necessarily have to play holographic like them, do I?" Tong thought to himself, "I just want to play quietly in the clouds and stay in this demo version, what does those problems matter to me?" ”

I'm definitely not the only civilian player who can't afford holographic game equipment.

Thinking so, Tong plucked up his confidence again and continued to do the task.

At this time, she didn't know that playing games was addictive, and once addicted, people would subconsciously give birth to more and more desires within the range of what they could bear to fantasize, and then try to satisfy themselves.

Not into the holographic? Impossible.

She couldn't see a corner of the forums, where there were tons of posts about players who worked hard to save money and finally managed to buy a device and throw themselves into the holographic arms.
