Chapter VII Initiation
Just as Leon was gagging in the classroom, the system prompt that hadn't moved for a long time finally came back online.
[The original connection system has been debugged, the system template is officially launched, and players can query the basic information]
It's finally here...
Leon took a deep breath and walked out of the classroom, talking to the system prompt in his head.
"Who founded and ran this game, Earth Killing Field? Oh, God? Old Gods? Or aliens? ”
[The player's permission is insufficient to query the relevant information]
"What is the ultimate purpose of this game?"
[The player's permission is insufficient to query the relevant information]
"How many Killing Games have been held in Earth's history?"
[There have been 6 large-scale killing games in the history of the earth. The first was about 542 million to 485 million years ago, the second was about 439 million to 363 million years ago, the third was 208 million to 146 million years ago, the fourth was about 66 million to 65 million years ago, the fifth was about 50 million to 2.5 million years ago, and the sixth was about 135,000 to 24,000 years ago. 】
Leon narrowed his eyes, "So, the first game took place during the Cambrian explosion of life that suddenly appeared in arthropods, mollusks, and annelids.
The second game is the Silurian and Devonian periods, during which green algae landed on the continent and evolved into ferns, establishing a terrestrial deity system with early insects, while vertebrates began to dominate the ocean, and fish animals evolved primitive amphibians and began to breed on land.
The third game is Jurassic, where the forests on Pangea are luxuriant, the climate is warm and humid, and the dinosaurs become the rulers.
The fourth game takes place before an asteroid hits the Earth and causes the fifth mass extinction. After that, the land overlord dinosaurs disappeared completely, and the small land animals that survived the disaster developed on the ruins of the dinosaur era.
In the fifth game, primates evolved rapidly, apes, proto-apes, Egyptian apes, forest apes, australopithecus, until they evolved into adult genera.
In the sixth game, it is a competition between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, and in the end, Homo sapiens wins, and Neanderthals lose and become extinct. ”
If the systematic statement is true, then the killing game covers almost half of the evolutionary history of species in most parts of the earth, and it can even go further, arguing that in the history of the evolution of life on the earth, the killing game has played a great influence.
"In what form are these six killing games going on?"
[The system will randomly select the native inhabitants to be promoted to players, and players will complete various tasks given by the system to obtain rewards.] Non-players can only earn qualifications by killing players. Player status is non-transferable and non-transferable. 】
"In what form will the game end?"
If the player group fails to complete the final task within the specified time limit, the system will strike the earth's ecosystem in an all-round way and exterminate the species to which the player group belongs. 】
[For example, the Ordovician global temperature plummeted to extinct invertebrates, the Devonian ocean retreated to extinct marine organisms such as Dun's fish and Attenborough femalefish, the Permian continental drift extinction of trilobites, sea scorpions and other arthropods, the Triassic sea water large-scale hypoxia extinction of brachiopods and gastropods, and the Cretaceous meteorite impact extinction of dinosaurs]
"Wait, the players of the fifth and sixth should be apes, right? Has humanity ever experienced systemic extinction? ”
[73,500 years ago, the system determined that the main body of the sixth killing gamer, that is, human beings, failed to complete the progress goal, so the ecosystem extinction strike was implemented.
The Toba volcano on the Indonesian island of Sumatra erupted for seven days in a row, covering half of the world's skies with ash, causing the earth to enter an ice age that wiped out 99% of humanity. 】
Leon was not too surprised that the catastrophe of the eruption of Mount Toba 70,000 years ago did wipe out the human population to the extent that only a few thousand individuals remained, and it is not an exaggeration to consider that period the most dangerous moment in human history.
"So, after the sixth session, have you ever held a killing game?"
[After the sixth edition, the system decided that the large-scale killing game could not select high-quality players, so it changed the game format and held a small killing game periodically.
These small games have been played intermittently in civilizations around the world, ranging from centuries to years. Some gods, demons, demons, and heroes in human myths, epics, and legends have all been players in the killing game. 】
"I see."
Leon nodded, which would explain why the supernatural powers of history sometimes appeared and sometimes disappeared.
"And now? When did the current game start? How many players are there so far? ”
[This is the seventh edition of the Mass Killing Game, which started seven months ago, and the current player size is not to be announced.] 】
"Okay."
Leon tapped the table with the knuckles of his fingers, seven months ago at the beginning of the urban legends.
Since the killing game will ultimately determine the life and death of human civilization, the state apparatus with stronger organization and professional intelligence agencies must have more information and take corresponding measures based on this information.
For example, the establishment of a professional intelligence agency, the screening and screening of potential civilian players, or the formation of an official background of the player strategy team, each official background player, correspondingly has a company of think tanks at disposal.
Philosopher, historian, mathematician, astronomer, physicist, psychologist.....
Compared with the state machine, a giant creature with thousands of hands, thousands of feet, thousands of eyes, and thousands of heads, the "high-quality players" selected from ordinary people are still ordinary people.
Under the strong watchful eye of the think tank team, individual players with insufficient intelligence have no advantage at all, even if they have mastered supernatural powers above the level.
The biggest difference between human society and primitive organisms is that human beings have unprecedented strong organizational power.
This kind of organization is undoubtedly a good thing for the collective strategy game of human civilization, but for individual players, strong organization also blocks the possibility of becoming a Buddha and acting recklessly as an extraordinary person.
Even at this point in the current unclear situation, individual players still have to bear pressure and threats from other than killing games.
For example, the screening of the state apparatus (which is not necessarily a bad thing),
The snooping of business organizations that smell the change of times (definitely a bad thing),
Terrorists with confused minds,
Other players with bad intentions.
Therefore, to sum up, it is better for individual players to hide their identities at the moment....
"The last question is the specific form of the system release task."
There are three types of system releases. The first is a regular task, which is randomly triggered by the player on a daily basis, and the player can choose whether to accept it or not, and there is a reward for completing it, and there is no penalty for failure. 】
[The second type is a mandatory task, which is randomly released by the system, and the player must complete the mission objective, and there is a reward for completing it, and the player will be wiped out if it fails]
[The third type is a scripted mission, where the mission scene does not necessarily take place on the real earth.] Randomly generated by the system, the player will take on a certain role and play through the script. There is a reward for completion, and a random penalty for failure. 】
"Oh?"
Li Ang raised his eyebrows, the first and second mission forms are easy to understand, and the third type of script task sounds a little strange.
Just as he was about to continue asking, the system beeped.
[The task trigger condition has been met, and the task type: regular task]
[Mission Name: Afterlife]
[Mission Objective: Eliminate the Possessed Ghost in Yinshi Experimental Middle School 0/1]
[Task Reward 1: Enhance player permissions and open the player's personal panel.] 】
[Quest Reward 2: In addition to destroying the target spirit of the quest, an additional 45 XP points will be rewarded]
[Reward 3: 100 points of in-game currency]
[Reward 4: Random Item of Normal Quality*1]
[Accept/Reject]
