Chapter 1: The King of Strategy
"GAMECENTER" is a virtual game world that is jokingly called the "second world". Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In the summer of 2030, all electronic manufacturers in the human world will completely move all games to this platform. With a VR device, anyone can connect to the world and play all the games.
WITH THE RISE OF SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY THAT IS COMPARABLE TO REALITY, "GAMECENTER" IS NO LONGER JUST A GAMING PLATFORM. "Faster, higher, stronger", this part of the Olympic spirit is no longer just for the human body.
Neural reactions, concentration, computing ability, and strategy, all of which can only be fully experienced in "games", can now be fully expressed in "GAME" and "CENTER".
Seven game categories: RPG (role-playing game), ACT (action game), SLG (strategy game), STG (shooter), SPG (sports competitive game), CAG (card game), MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena). NOW REPRESENT THE SEVEN PINNACLE KINGS, AND IN THE "GAMECENTER" LINKED TO REAL MONEY, THEY ARE THE SEVEN KINGS WITH THEIR OWN FIEFDOMS AND UNLIMITED POWER.
Lin Ao, as the king of strategy games, sits on the king of the eastern forests of the second world, with a current record of 865 battles, 845 wins and 20 defeats, of which 20 defeats are before becoming the king, and 780 battles after becoming the king of strategy are won. With a 100% win rate, it can be described as an invincible king. He......
"Okay, okay, no need to read the introduction." Lin Ao lay flat on the throne that belonged to him, listlessly looking up at the ceiling of the palace that belonged to his "strategy game area". "Do you understand what I'm trying to say?"
"Forgive me for being stupid, I don't know what the king is trying to say." Standing on the edge of the throne, there was a proud woman, she wore a ball head, and her 36D bust looked extremely attractive in the sky blue open-chested cheongsam. She didn't seem to know about her figure, and only cared about the information on the screen in front of her. "Wang, you just told me to read the materials aloud, and didn't let me sneak into the server and steal your ideas."
"Oh my God, why are you so rigid. Unlimited power, power! I'm the king of the strategic zone here, and you should obey all my orders. β
"I'm sorry," the woman bowed, but her face was expressionless. "I feel that I have obeyed all the king's commands, but I do not know what the king's command to 'do shameful things with you' means. If it is the information I searched for from the Internet, Wang you have been suspected of violating the **** information. According to my internal procedures, I should call the police immediately and ......"
"Good, good! Stop! Lin Ao jumped up in fright and knelt on the ground with a thud. It's me who was wrong, Alice, please stop reporting to the Second World Authority. β
"Okay, the escalation is canceled, and we are waiting for the next order from the king."
"Cut...... What a tough NPC......"
"Encounter a virus, the system is out of order, continue to report to the Authority."
"Don't! It was me who was wrong! Hey......" Lin Ao lay back on his throne, looking at the empty palace, his heart was extremely empty.
With a record of more than 700 wins, his reputation as the "invincible" of the king of the strategic zone has spread throughout the second world, and he has ruled here for almost two years, and there are fewer and fewer challengers, and there is not even a single challenger for the past three months.
Bored......
Lin Ao had already changed more than a dozen styles for his palace, and if it weren't for being the "king", he would have to be online for more than six hours a day to receive a high salary in reality, and he wouldn't have stayed here bored and wasted time.
"Sorry to disturb your rest." Alice slapped Lin Ao in the face who wanted to take a nap, "A challenger has come in." β
Lin Ao sat up with a displeased face: "I said, are you the king or am I the king......"
"Hello King of Strategy Games, goodbye King of Strategy Games."
"You!! Forget it, let him in......"
Five minutes later, a middle-aged uncle in armor walked into Lin Ao's palace. Rough iron armor, full of stubble, and an iron sword from a novice village hanging from his waist.
When Lin Ao saw it, he was naturally displeased in his heart: "Uncle, you went to the wrong place, right?" I'm in the strategy zone, not an RPG. Go and go, don't challenge me. β
"Nope! I'm here to challenge you, Lin Ao, the king of the strategic zone, and I'm going to pull you off the throne. β
Unlike his tone, a layer of sweat was already oozing from the uncle's forehead, and his eyes pretended to be calm looking at Lin Ao, not knowing that the trembling of his feet had been seen by Lin Ao.
"500,000 game coins in exchange for a chance to challenge the king, converted into real currency, that is, 50,000." Lin Ao smiled contemptuously: "It doesn't look like you're mixing well in the second world, it's just taking real money to come in here and gamble." Probably, you want to get a fixed 500,000 yuan bonus every month from the Seven Kings, right? Originally, you, as a challenger, should have accepted any game I chose as king. But today is an exception, I'm in a good mood, whatever you want to play, I'll be with you to the end. Gee...... What are you laughing at? β
Seeing the uncle snickering, Lin Ao couldn't help frowning: "Did any conspiracy succeed?" β
"No," replied the uncle with a smile, "I've always heard that the king of the strategic zone is very proud, and now it seems that it is. The strategic area is really the best choice! β
"Without further ado, which strategy game are you going to play. To be clear, RPGs, FPS, etc., are not valid for me. β
"No, no, no, I'm going to play a strategy game."
"Oh?" Lin Ao retorted lightly. "And where did you get your faith?"
"Because I'm going to choose, rock, paper, scissors!"
Puff...... Lin Ao couldn't help laughing, he immediately operated the game interface, and quickly flipped through this childhood game in tens of thousands of strategy games: "Then scissors, rock, paper, bet on the king's position!" Come on! β
"In the name of mankind, make a contract!" "In the name of mankind, make a contract!"
The two of them raised their right hands at the same time, and two pillars of light instantly enveloped the two of them. This proves that under the supervision of "GAMECENTER", the decisive battle of "scissors, stone, and head cloth" for the throne of the uncle has officially begun.
Three cards as tall as a man are set up in front of them, and they only need to choose one to represent the gesture they are about to make. Scissors, rock, paper, in the face of the childhood game here, neither side made the first choice.
Now, the uncle's desire for victory is more and more evident on his face: "Do you know how afraid I am that you will not agree? I didn't expect you to be so conceited, aren't you afraid of any cats? Even if I didn't cheat, in terms of the rules of the game, it was only a one-third winning game. β
When Lin Ao heard this, he laughed even more arrogantly: "Cheating? According to the rules here, cheating is found to be a direct sentence of failure. I can tell you that the 124 people who cheated in front of me will never dare to set foot in here again. Why? Because I can't lose, as long as I'm within the framework of a strategy game, I'm the king of strategy. β
"Then I'm going to make a declaration now, and I'm going to make a 'cloth'!"
"Then I've already chosen......" Lin Ao barely had to think about it, and lightly pointed to one of the cards, and the other two disappeared in an instant.
"You ......" the uncle chuckled, just wanted to question, but found that Lin Ao was directly contemptuous of himself, and he could only choke the rest of the words into his stomach. He didn't think much of it, and clicked on one card to make the other two disappear.
"Flop!" "Flop!"
The two cards that only I can see rotate 180 degrees at the same time. I saw that the uncle's card was "scissors", and Lin Ao's card was "stone".
"How so?! How will you come out!! The uncle almost roared, "I've been thinking about it for so long, it shouldn't be possible to lose!" β
"Lose now, right?" Lin Ao sat up straight, and finally looked like a king. "I told you couldn't win."
"You...... Are you cheating? β
"Cheating?" Lin Ao had a demonic smile on his face. "I'm still cheating on a game like this? Need I explain it to you? β
The uncle nodded like a child.
Lin Ao said: "First of all, you will make a 'cloth', but it is just a strategy, to make me feel the pressure in my heart, thinking about whether you can really make a cloth, in this case, you think I only have two choices: 'believe' and 'don't believe'." If I believe you make 'cloth', then I'll 'scissors'. If I don't believe it, then the 'stone' I will produce in order to win, and I will produce the 'cloth'. So you end up with 'scissors', because then the chance of losing is 'zero'. β
Diagram:
Uncle Lin Ao
Lin Ao believes: Cloth scissors actually: Uncle out of scissors to flat.
Lin Ao didn't believe it: Rock (win scissors) paper actually: Uncle out scissors wins.
Lin Ao then added: "So, believe it or not, in the end, you come out with scissors, either you draw or you win." But...... This is your idea, I can only say that it is naΓ―ve. Don't you think about me? The mistake of your plan is that you are too cautious, bet 50,000 dollars in cash in case you fail, and you will definitely think about it over and over again and fall into a cycle from which you cannot extricate yourself. That's thinking that I'm only going to make paper scissors and paper, that's the blind spot of your plan, and as long as I get out of the 'rock', you're going to break it. β
"Aren't you afraid that I'll really go out of the cloth?"
"No, you definitely won't. Judging by your RPG gear and nervousness, you're not a person with countless successes to be arrogant, or rather, you're not a complete gambler. 'Hahaha, I said I was out of the cloth, why did you still lose to me? You probably don't even think about such lines, and you don't dare to say them. How could you throw 50,000 yuan into such a huge gamble? β
"You think I'm not going to go out for that alone?"
"That's it alone. Psychological warfare has always been one of the most important parts of strategy games, and you don't even know about it, and you dare to say that you want to win me? Oh, don't hurry up and admit defeat and get out! β
"Yes...... It's me who lost......" The uncle threw himself on his knees and sighed helplessly. "It seems that I really don't have what it takes to be king...... I originally thought that I would be able to enjoy life without worries by ascending to the throne this way...... I ......"
The pillar of light sprinkled on the heads of the uncle and Lin Ao faded, and several heavily armed guards of the palace rushed in, and one of them lifted up the uncle with hot tears and dragged him out of the hall directly.
In the main hall of the palace, there are now Lin Ao and NPC Alice left.
"Congratulations to Wang for winning 781 battles after becoming the king, and the win rate is still 100%." Alice knelt down on one knee in front of Lin Ao and blessed.
Lin Ao replied: "There's nothing to show off, with this uncle's level, he can't win against me for a hundred years, and he still hasn't known where he lost." Alice, as an NPC, you should know very well, right? β
"I know that the king is just a little trick. From the beginning, you lied. β
"That's right, I said let him decide what to play, and he really believed it. THE FIRST RULE OF GAMECENTER IS THAT THOSE WHO CHALLENGE OTHERS MUST ACCEPT ANY GAME THAT THE CHALLENGED PERSON CHOOSES. The battle for the throne is even more in line with this rule. In the end, I was the one who chose the game, and it was I who said that playing scissors, rock, and paper decided the throne. But the point is, I didn't say how many games I want to play? β
"You want to follow the last rule of the game: during a duel, you can temporarily add rules if both parties agree. That's why you dare to go directly out of the 'stone' in the first game and probe the uncle's character. If you lose, you can also be cheeky to decide how many rounds to decide the winner. β
"That's right, I didn't expect him to admit defeat directly, it's really funny." Lin Ao smiled contemptuously, and lay flat on the throne engraved with dragon patterns again.
Alice stood aside and cursed, "Cut, it's just a child's trick." What an insidious guy. β
"Hey, can you not scold the king you serve. Which king does not rely on strength to keep his throne, insidious is just one part of the strategy game. Hey, Alice, do you hear that? β
Lin Aoping was lying on the throne with his eyes closed, and Alice beside him suddenly did not respond, he couldn't help but be anxious: "Hey, Alice, you should normally say, look at you like this, which is the king, you are a hooligan!" Alice? Alice?! β
Lin Ao opened his eyes and looked at NPC Alice, only to see that the beautiful NPC who was no different from a real person was now extremely stiff, looking straight ahead with his eyes, and muttered: "System error, system error." β
"What, is the server crashing?" Lin Ao jumped up from the throne and slowly walked out of the main hall.
As soon as he walked out of the palace hall built in imitation of the Forbidden City, the next second, Lin Ao saw a picture that he couldn't believe.
There was no sun in the sky, and countless blinding balls of light pierced the sky and rushed to the ground. Inside each fireball is a winged creature.
Angels or demons, creatures that didn't exist here are coming to this world.
Thundered!! With a loud bang, Lin Ao realized that it was not only these legendary creatures that fell from the sky, but also a few giant drill bits that were like lofty mountains, occupying a fraction of the sky, and smashed to the ground.
Thundered!! A drill bit in the distance came into operation, and little by little it drilled into the earth's crust and caused a massive earthquake. I saw that the top of these behemoths turned out to be a white palace like a fairyland!
"What...... This is ......" The shaking of the earthquake almost made Lin Ao fall to the ground, and he held on to the pillar on the side, looking at everything in front of him with dissatisfaction. "MAYBE THE GAMECENTER SERVERS WERE ATTACKED, RIGHT? It's all these inexplicable things. It's okay to do whatever you want, just don't get it on my head......"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"There are some things that really don't set up a FLAG......"
Lin Ao said, and ran into the palace. For he saw in the sky a huge new drill coming in the direction of his palace. And the tip of the drill alone was bigger than his entire palace.
"System! System! β
Lin Ao roared, wanting to open the "offline" interface, but there was no response. He could only watch as the top of his palace, the tiles and wooden beams, were crumbling down endlessly......
