For the vast majority of the time, time has shown near-absolute fairness.

While Qiu Yu was playing his own game independently, the steady flow of time was also driving the actions of others.

In a seemingly endless ocean, an existence named Qian Xiao was anxiously circling around a ten-by-ten, one-square-meter stone platform with a total area of exactly one hundred square meters.

At any other time, he might have studied how the mud-mixed gravel under his feet floated on the surface of the sea. But in this almost desperate situation, he really didn't know how else he could struggle except for venting physically.

A few hours ago, when the regulator was talking about the rules of the next game, there was a sudden abnormality, not only did he suddenly disappear, but he also disappeared with Qiu Yu.

Even if he didn't have Li Ningfeng's unreasonable terrifying intuition, Qian Xiao knew that the earth civilization was in trouble again.

As for what's the trouble on the stall...... It doesn't take any trouble for him. Almost at the same time as the Regulator and Autumn Feather disappeared, some kind of mechanical procedure took the place of the vanishing Regulator, continuing to explain the rules of the game, and making it clear that the game would continue as usual.

So, a small part of the annoyance below is to play the next game without Autumn Feathers.

In Qian Xiao's eyes, Qiu Yu's absence is a very serious problem, but compared with the problems behind, it can only be regarded as a small part of the whole trouble.

And the other half of the trouble is composed of Li Ningfeng, Sima Tianzhi and Odonio. As for the reason, it lies in the rules of the game.

In the new game, the people of the earth civilization are divided into four groups, which are divided into four scenes: forest, plain, mountain, and ocean, and the people of the four scenes must work together to win.

The forest, with almost infinite biological resources, is responsible for not being killed by all kinds of strange, powerful, or strange creatures, while gaining a firm foothold, capturing the creatures here, and teleporting them to people in several other scenes as the main force of the battle.

Plains, where there are almost no resources, but there are compressed and preserved "seeds" of various civilizations, which are a few centimeters in size, and are indeed seed-like things in appearance, but can be restored to their original items as long as they are activated with energy from the ocean. The task of the people in the Plains is to explore, collect these generator seeds, weapon seeds, food seeds, and even building seeds, and then teleport them to the other three much-needed scenes. Of course, in the plains, it doesn't mean that you just have to bury your head in the search. There are very few enemies, but once encountered, it is a boss level.

The ocean, apart from a limited platform under its feet, has no foothold. And unlike ordinary oceans, only energy creatures live here. These creatures will spontaneously attack the platform and everything that exists on it, so it's an endless defensive battle for players on the platform. And the energy creatures that are destroyed in defense will become an almost universal energy source. At the same time, it is also a universal "currency" for capturing, activating, transmitting, and so on.

Mountainous terrain, a mixed and crowded scene of various civilizations. Hide and arm yourself with the resources you get through the other three scenarios to destroy all your enemies and survive to the end. Players in the mountains can use the energy from the ocean to dig into the belly of the mountain in cubic meters to establish a safe hiding place, and at the same time, the excavated stone and metal are also necessary resources for the ocean to expand the platform and build defenses in the other two scenarios.

Under the above rules, looking at it separately, the forest is a game of hunting and cultivation. Plains is a role-playing and horror game. Ocean is a tower defense and battle game to play. Mountain is a game to play building and survival. But when it comes together, it's a strategy game. As long as one person is the overall plan, the others can easily win.

In Qian Xiao's heart, the ideal situation is that as long as Qiu Yu goes to the mountains to hide and issue orders, and all the game participants of the earth civilization act according to the orders, this game can almost be won.

Even if Qiu Yu is gone, Qian Xiao still has some confidence in his command ability, although the process may be a little harder, but the chance of winning is also quite large.

It's just that it's not that simple.

According to the basic rules of the game, there are only four players who can start the game, and the other players need to use the energy obtained from the ocean in exchange for entry.

As for the four people who appeared, they were just over, and the four people who contributed the most in the last game.

After removing Qiu Yu, these four people are Qian Xiao, Li Ningfeng, Sima Tianzhi and Odonio.

Sima Tianzhi, since this game was all made by him running around, he is sure that he has him.

Li Ningfeng's words are quite active.

As for Odonio...... God knows what he did, and he would be in front of the Nine-Tails.

Because Sima Tianzhi had already arrived in the forest, the scene he was assigned to was naturally the forest, Li Ningfeng was assigned to the mountains, Odonio was the plains, and Qian Xiao was the ocean.

Before the official start of the game, the four of them were teleported to meet in a void space, which was regarded as a pre-war preparation meeting for the civilization of Earth.

Qian Xiao took it for granted that he wanted to take over the command, but when he set his eyes on the three people in front of him, he suddenly realized a fact that made him collapse - none of the three people in front of him seemed to be a good conductor.

"It looks like something is wrong with the regulators and we don't know how much time we have to communicate right now, so I'll try to keep it short. According to the current information, the forest is the most important thing in this game, and I need the full cooperation of the three of you to concentrate all resources in the forest as a priority. When I successfully conquer the forest scene, I will help you easily win the game in other scenarios. Until then, as long as you don't lose too quickly......"

This is Sima Tianzhi's speech, as always, self-centered, and for this, ignoring the description of the game, Shengsheng elevates the forest he is in to the core position that determines the success or failure of the game.

"Huh."

Odonio's sneer is a good indication of his attitude.

"Speaking of which, am I engaged in digging? It's interesting, or I'm going to dig up a super luxurious underground palace. ”

Li Ningfeng's words may sound to others, and they may think that he is enlivening the atmosphere. But for Qian Xiao, who came to know him, he was 100% sure that Li Ningfeng was truthfully expressing what he would do next.

"Listen to me, the current state is very grim, we are carrying the future of the entire human race, no matter what you plan to do......"

Qian Xiaoxiao planned to rescue the three of them again, but it had no effect at all.

O'Donio kept a standard mocking face, and no matter who said anything, he would only respond with a sneer.

Li Ningfeng had a light smile on his face, no matter who said anything, he listened quietly, but he didn't listen to a word.

At the moment when Qiu Yu was away, Sima Tianzhi seemed to have regained his self-confidence, not paying attention to other people's attitudes at all, nor considering whether others might not listen to him, and arranging his strange strategy on his own.

It wasn't until the end of the meeting and when the four of them were thrown into their respective game scenes that Qian Xiao suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a small mistake - since no one was willing to cooperate with him, could he cooperate with Sima Tianzhi? No matter how unreliable Sima Tianzhi is, it is much better to have two people working together than four people fighting on their own.

But what is Sima Tianzhi's plan? I don't seem to have listened at all......

Click-

The slight sound at his feet pulled Qian Xiao's thinking back to reality.

Qian Xiao, who was standing on the edge of the platform, looked down and saw a dark blue translucent strange fish struggling to bite the broken stones that made up the platform.

Kick it out.

Because it was a subconscious act, he didn't use much effort, but he still kicked the strange fish that looked a little scary directly into a flying blue light.

At the same time, a screen with the number "1" appeared in the center of the platform.

"Is that a little bit of energy? The initial difficulty is within a reasonable range, and it should be able to develop gradually and steadily. ”

Qian Xiao just had a correct understanding of this game, but in an instant, he was pulled into the pit by the news from his teammates that popped up in front of him.

- Urgent information, a crisis in a mountainous region, a large amount of energy is requested.

The resources of this game are not randomly sent to each other, but the demand messages can be sent between various regions. For example, "the mountains need a little energy", "the plains need a little food", "the sea needs basic weapons" and so on.

It was only a few minutes after the game opened, and Li Ningfeng came up with a message, which was urgent and large, which made Qian Xiao dazed for a while. It was completely impossible to tell whether Li Ningfeng was too unlucky, or whether the difficulty of the mountains was much higher than here. Or maybe Li Ningfeng has water in his brain and is sending messages indiscriminately.

"Bastard."

After a few seconds, Qian Xiao cursed, turned his arm into a large net, and reached into the water to start fishing.

Doing so is likely to induce additional risks, but now that Li Ningfeng has made a request, Qian Xiao can only consider the worst-case scenario. Li Ningfeng must be given a lot of energy as soon as possible to deal with the crisis.

- Urgent information, the plains are in crisis, and a lot of energy is requested.

The second piece of news that appeared in his mind made Qian Xiao's heart tighten, and then slowly relaxed.

It's okay to say that one scene is in a desperate situation at the beginning, but it would be unreasonable if both scenes were like this. After all, this is a fair showdown between civilizations, not a game of torture. So there is only one possibility for the appearance of two urgent messages in a row - it is two idiots who sent the message.

- Urgent information, the forest area is in crisis, and a lot of energy is requested.

The third message that suddenly appeared made Qian Xiao, who had just relaxed, go into respiratory arrest.

Sima Tianzhi, a man who was as proud as a god. For him, it will always be just orders, instructions. Request? Do these two words exist in his dictionary?

But this Sima Tianzhi actually didn't need it, but used a request...... There is only one situation that can make him let go of his pride. That's ...... On the other side of the Pride Scales are ...... Fail......
