Chapter 623: Seeking Poison in the Wilderness (19)
The next day, three o'clock in the morning.
The competition lasted only fifteen hours, and five out of 10 players were eliminated. They are...... Warren. Ba Watt, Lindsay. Arhat, Solomon. Baron Chai Erde, Barack. Hussein. Oguanhai, and Easter. Ancient.
Among them...... Luohan, Ao Guanhai and Gu are all Stephen who is played by Feng Bujui. carbon to be eliminated; And Ba Quite was eliminated by Luohan.
As for Solomon. Baron Chai Erde ...... It was his own abstention. Once he had found his first marijuana cache, he stopped where he was, leisurely smoked the two marijuana sticks in a plastic bag, and then announced to a nearby camera that he wanted to quit the competition.
Objectively speaking, the baron's move was quite wise. In the case of feeling that the chances of winning are not large, abstaining is undoubtedly the most rational approach; If you keep it to chance, the situation will only get worse. Compared to "being smashed in the knee" or "playing with all your strength for 72 hours and still failing in the end", quitting early can at least suffer less.
In addition, among the five surviving people, there is one more, who is almost semi-eliminated. That's the number 10 player -- John. Winston. Split pus.
Like the Baron, Mr. Split Pus smoked the first batch of marijuana as soon as he found it. But after the draw, he neither abstained nor continued to explore......
He just stayed where he was, resting silently for hours at a time......
He had a very negative attitude and didn't seem to be going to do anything.
In desperation, the program team sent a staff member over to ask him if there was something wrong with his body. As a result, Crack Pu replied that he was meditating for love and peace, and his actions were a protest against the show and the world.
So, the staff left again, because the director decided...... Let him continue to protest......
Sum up. There are only four competitors left on the island - the four that are blocked, not bold, bin Laden and carbon.
If the rhythm of elimination on the first day continues, I am afraid that before the sunset of the second day, the survivors of this issue of "Poison in the Wild" will be born.
And this ...... It's a situation that Feng Bujue doesn't want to see.
Now if we look back at the two main missions of this script: "Survive on Canabis Island for 72 Hours" and "Complete at least six challenges given by the program", we can see a lot of potential information...... Or rather, the potential "difficulty".
First, the phrase "survive seventy-two hours on Canabis Island...... A huge trap in itself.
Misled by the opening CG and the second main quest, it's easy for players to have a habitual mindset, as if the purpose of this script is to win "Poison in the Wild".
However...... As the script unfolds, Feng Bujue gradually realizes ...... This is not the case.
If you take the first main quest out of it, you can see it separately. will find ...... There is no absolute causal relationship between surviving on the island for seventy-two hours and winning the race.
Secondly, there is also an obvious restriction on "completing at least six challenges given by the program team" - you have to wait for the program team to take the initiative to "give" you the challenge. But...... Will they give it to you? Or rather...... They don't think there's any need to give it to you anymore?
Seeing this, I think everyone understands too......
If the player wins the match by eliminating all nine opponents at a very fast pace, the script is game_over.
Because from the moment you win, there is no reason for you to stay on this island......
If you die on this desert island and don't leave, there are usually two results, the better one is: everyone only thinks you are a temporary tsundere. I'll wait for you back on the boat for a day and a half, and then I'll leave when you've figured it out. And one of the worse and more likely outcomes is that people will arrest you as a madman, forcibly drag you onto a boat, and leave the island......
Take a step back. Even if you really succeed in staying on the island for 72 hours, the program team will not be able to give you any more "challenges".
Therefore, the real difficulty of this script can be ...... Two main quests before and after. In fact, there is a certain conflict; And the basic setting of the plot also has a certain conflict with these two tasks.
This conflict is not a contradiction, but a relationship of mutual containment. For example...... The player wants to complete the main quest one. You can't win the game too early. But if you want to complete the main quest two, you have to do the challenge, but if you do the challenge, you will expand your advantage and win the game faster......
In addition, how to deal with those "opponents" is also quite tangled and contradictory. If they are all eliminated, you win the game and lose the script...... But if you keep them, you're keeping them as a potential threat.
Any opponent can deal a fatal blow to you at an unexpected moment (Jue Ge was almost eliminated by Arhat earlier, and if it weren't for Kevin, he would have been finished), and their threat will become more serious over time.
Because...... By the end of the game, the situation is bound to be that there are only a few people left on the island, and of those few players, the player is the one who has completed the most challenges. Others are unlikely to have completed more than six challenges (after all, they don't have any hard metrics for this)...... Then, if they want to win, there is only one way - to eliminate the person who has completed more challenges.
Imagine in the early hours of the fourth day, about ten hours before the end of the race. Anyone who hasn't been eliminated will definitely have a "It's all done this far, I want to win!" "This kind of thought. And they are usually hungry, addicted, eager to win, and irrational......
At that time, the program team will also mediate, they will go to those laggards to fan the flames, reveal some information about the leaders, and give a choice: "Do you want to take another challenge from me and try to surpass him...... Or do you want to know his current coordinates and do something about it? ”
Then, one of the funniest parts of the reality show is about to take place - all kinds of heart-wrenching tears, swearing, and scuffles.
That's the ratings, that's what the audience of that era wanted to see......
You can say it's morbid, depraved, or vulgar, but to them it's so normal that it doesn't need to be justified.
Once upon a time, people looked at the qiē that appeared on the screen with kindness and were moved by some performances that were not brilliant but very sincere.
Later, people took a relatively objective attitude towards entertainment products, enjoying wonderful creativity and dazzling visual effects.
Later, people began to pursue the outrageous and weird, to show off their so-called "personality" that no one cared about, or to satisfy some of their innermost needs. As a result, peach-colored propaganda, mentally retarded idol culture, vulgar hype, and shameless plagiarized celebrities have emerged one after another, and have gradually become the mainstream.
And in the twenty-fifth century, in an era of peace, when no one has to worry about starvation, what kind of things are people want to see......
The answer is simple – conflict, violence, contention.
People have seen enough of the false tears, the false smiles, the false praises, and the false surprises on the stage. They want to watch naked, unembellished, real reality shows.
This is "Seeking Poison in the Wilderness".
…………
In the cave.
The fire on the ground has been extinguished.
The torrential rain outside the cave gradually became less and less like a drizzle. The thunder stopped around midnight and the wind weakened considerably.
Last night, when Brother Jue and Kevin went to hunt Gala crocodiles, the staff of the program team braved the rain to come to the cave and carried away the injured and incapacitated Arhat. So when Brother Jue came back with crocodile meat, there was no one in the cave.
Because it was a rainy day, these people left relatively obvious traces, and the returning Feng Bujue quickly guessed what had just happened.
He didn't care about this, but lit the fire again, and while drying his clothes, shoes and socks, he enjoyed a delicious meal that he had never tasted in real life.
Nothing to say all night......
By the early hours of the morning, Feng Bujue, who had rested for several hours, had basically returned to his physical strength.
And this also means that he is about to start acting...... (To be continued......)
