Chapter 207: Stage 3
"What!" Drunken Dream blushed halfway, snorted and turned his head, "There are so many interesting things in the world, who wants to waste time in love!"
Doudou hid his face and smiled: "It's okay, I've never been in a relationship either." The family has always been very strict, and the men I can come into contact with, except for my father, is my brother......"
Speaking of Hua Shixiang and his father, Doudou's mood was a little lower, and Zui Meng hurriedly said: "It's okay, after so many things, you have become an adult, if you can go back alive, your family will not interfere with you too much." Saying...... Duan Mo's refusal to confess is really worrying......"
"Maybe Brother Duan Mo has other ideas? Maybe he thinks he might die one day, so he doesn't want to really face his feelings. Since Sister Drunken Dream is in such a hurry, why don't you-"
"Why not as good as what?"
Doudou laughed twice, "It's better for Sister Drunken Dream to take the initiative to confess to Brother Duan Mo." ”
"How can this be!" Zui Meng's face turned even redder, and he even stammered a little when he spoke, "No matter what I say, I'm also a girl, so I have to be reserved......"
Doudou looked very open, and persuaded: "We are in danger now, where do we need to care about these, if we don't take action quickly, maybe we will miss the opportunity, and the yin and yang will be separated." Sister Drunken Dream doesn't want to leave herself with a lifetime of regrets, right? ”
Doudou's words grabbed the life of Drunken Dream, and Drunken Dream was immediately moved, but she lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "This matter...... I'll talk about it later, but at that time, Doudou must accompany me. ”
"Definitely!" Doudou smiled and nodded.
——
Duan Mo slept in the dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and when he woke up, the sky was already full of stars, and the fragrance wafting from the kitchen stimulated Duan Mo's sense of smell, and he didn't need to eat, but he suddenly felt hungry.
Duan Mo rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked out of the bedroom, Doudou and Chunzhen were busy in the kitchen, Doudou saw Duan Mo come out and greeted "Let's eat in a while", Duan Mo nodded hurriedly, and by the way, he took advantage of this time to take a few steps in the yard to refresh.
It's just that as soon as he went out, Duan Mo was dumbfounded.
Unlike in the past, the residential area is no longer dark and uninhabited, and the houses on both sides of the street are all brightly lit, and the streets are full of people, and the whole residential area is lively like a busy city.
"Hey, why are there so many people out there!?" Duan Mo was like a frightened rabbit, rushing into the kitchen and asking Doudou Chunxia.
"While you're sleeping, a new email comes in." Chun Xia refers to Duan Mo.
Duan Mo hurriedly clicked on the inbox, and sure enough, there was a notification.
"Dear players, due to the drastic decline in the number of players, we have decided to merge all settlements into one. All the decorations, houses of the player will be kept as they are. We apologize for any inconvenience caused. ”
"That is to say...... Now all the players are here?" Duan Mo glanced outside again, "But, a residential area can accommodate tens of thousands of people at most, right?" Could it be that the number of players has dropped to this extent?"
"yes." Chun Xia nodded, she wiped the back of her hand on her apron, and sighed again, "I walked around the streets a few times in the morning, and roughly estimated, the number of remaining players is about 70,000. Drunken Dream compared the previous data and came to the conclusion that about half of the players died on a free day. ”
Duan Mo was silent for a long time, not knowing what to say. He didn't understand why Liu Ye agreed to start a free day, could it be that the player died too slowly?
If this is the case, then it seems that the purpose of the willow leaf has been perfectly achieved. Freedom Day unleashes the dark side of the player's heart, and instead of being forced to fight, they voluntarily take up arms and wantonly deprive others of their lives.
After the inhabitation was merged, everything was completely new, all traces of blood, corpses and battles were erased, and the old willow trees on both sides of the street still swayed in the wind as if nothing had happened.
Even passers-by have relaxed smiles on their faces, everything is so peaceful, like an old neighborhood, and the sun is lazy.
But Duan Mo couldn't believe everything in front of him anymore, he didn't know what kind of faces were behind the smiles of these people, maybe they were the same as the woman on the day of freedom? Hidden beneath the pure countenance is a hideous heart......
Duan Mo's mood was a little heavier, but what made him feel broken the most was his drunken dream.
At dinner, Doudou shouted four or five times in a row before calling Zuimeng out of the study, Zuimeng's face was full of frost, and he reluctantly sat down at the dinner table, not looking at Duan Mo at all.
Duan Mo felt very strange, it stands to reason that before he fell asleep, he overheard most of the conversation between Doudou and Zuimeng, according to the attitude of Zuimeng at that time, he should have already dissipated his anger, right?
But why are you angry again......
Duan Mo has never had a clue about this kind of thing, so he can only lament "a woman's heart is a needle", and then take a big gulp of rice in his mouth.
After eating for a while, Zui Mengmeng slapped his chopsticks on the table, looked at Doudou and Chunxia and said, "I summarized the changes in the game today, and I need to discuss it with you."
Doudou happened to be full and was about to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, when he heard Zuimeng's words and sat back again, quietly listening to Zuimeng's speech, and Duan Mo glanced up at Zuimeng and found that Zuimeng didn't pay attention to him at all, so he had to listen secretly while eating.
But Drunken Dream didn't seem to intend for Duan Mo to eavesdrop.
"Duan Mo, if you're full, go back to your room." Drunken Meng's eyes wandered, but he didn't glance in Duan Mo's direction.
"Huh?" Duan Mo looked up in amazement, thinking that he was the only man in the family, and as the pillar of the family, he didn't even have the qualifications to eavesdrop, so he wanted to slap the table and leave in a fit of anger, but after thinking about it, Zuimeng could summarize a lot of important information according to the changes in the game every time, if he didn't listen, wouldn't it be a big loss, so Duan Mo stuffed a large mouthful of green vegetables into his mouth, and said vaguely while chewing: "Who said I was full?" I could eat three more bowls! Chun Xia, give me a bowl of rice! ”
"But...... Don't you usually just eat one bowl......" Chun Xia was a little confused.
"I'm hungry today!" Duan Mo made a look, Chun Xia finally understood, picked up Duan Mo's rice bowl and rushed into the kitchen, and filled a large bowl fiercely.
Duan Mo took back the rice bowl and immediately began to stuff rice into his mouth, although he was already very full, he still had to stuff his stomach all for the sake of the information of the drunken dream.
"Okay, you eat slowly." Drunken Dream snorted, turned his head to Doudou and Drunken Dream and said, "I remember that the game official has also made a big change before, I think everyone still has an impression."
"Yes, in the early days, we were all locked up in a small room, and then we opened up the living quarters." Doudou replied.
"Hmm. At the time, we didn't know what the purpose of this game's existence was, but now...... The official purpose is already obvious, they have been cultivating powerful killing machines. When there are 1.5 million players, they are in a hurry to weed out players who don't meet the requirements at all, so there is no need to open up the living quarters at all. When the number of players is maintained at hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands, the official focus has gradually become to explore the potential of players, so the setting of residential areas is introduced to make players more comfortable to survive. But now, all the settlements have been merged, which means that the official goal has changed again - the progress of the game world has come to the third part. ”
"What's the third part?" Duan Mo couldn't help but ask, drunk dreams gave him a blank look, Duan Mo had to lower his head and continue to stuff rice into his mouth, but he really couldn't eat it anymore, so he could only chew mechanically.
"If I'm not mistaken, the game will become more and more unfair in the future." Zuimeng's fingertips tapped lightly on the dining table, and his tone was light, but every word in his words implied thunder.
"How unfair? Why be unfair?" It's everyone's voice.
Drunken Dreams naturally knew what they wanted to ask, so they replied, "The purpose of the game's creators is now obvious. They don't want fair competition, they don't want bloody fights. Everything we see at present is just appearances, and behind these appearances, they all point to a goal, that is, a God who surpasses mortals. Look at yourself, and then look at the passers-by outside, how have you changed compared to when you first entered the game world? ”
"It's getting stronger." Chun Xia said first. Although she is not the most powerful among the others, the wind, earth, water, and everything in the game world are gradually changing the player's body, plus a variety of skills - at present, these skills have been exaggerated to the stage of superpowers.
Drunken Dream nodded, "Well, maybe these skills will be retained after the game is over." They are more than just system data, there is definitely a bigger secret behind them. But what else? ”
Doudou replied, "It's cold-blooded."
As soon as these words came out, the four were silent.
Duan Mo thought of the first time he had killed someone, and he almost vomited all the overnight food, but now even if he cut the enemy in half, he would only wipe the internal organs off his face and continue to swing his sword forward.
"Yes," the usual mocking look appeared on Drunken Dream's face, "not only us, but judging by the performance of Freedom Day, everyone has become like a brute. In our hearts, we have all cultivated a beast. ”
Duan Mo stopped talking, he wanted to ask what this had to do with Drunken Dream's statement that "the game will become more and more unfair".
"Closer to home, since the creators of the game want God, then fairness is not their concern at all. There are only a few tens of thousands of players left, and if I were them, I would definitely tilt my resources towards certain priorities in order to make them transform in the final stages of the game world. ”
