"Wait...... Wait a minute! Because Shingoro Hayata's movements were too fast, and Yan Xiuze didn't expect him to do such a thing suddenly, he didn't even react for a while, so he watched Hayada directly delete the archive that he had worked hard for nearly a week.

"What does that mean?" Yan Xiuze had also played several Monster Hunter series games before, so he naturally knew how much effort it would take to train the character to this point, if it was him, he was afraid that he might not be able to play to this point in a few months, so it was a pity: "I finally got to this point......

"yes, it's been this far." Shingoro Hayada had an indifferent expression, crossed his hands, leaned back slightly, and said indifferently: "But in the end, it's just a game character...... No matter how much effort you put into it, how long it takes, how high your attributes are, and how good the equipment you get......"

"But once you delete the character archive, these things will be completely erased, as if they never existed in this world."

"And along with the death of this character, there is an unreal, cheap satisfaction that people build up in the game."

"Since you can realize this...... Yan Xiuze hesitated, "Then why ......?"

"But, ah......" But Hayada Shingoro didn't wait for Yan Xiuze to finish speaking, so he directly interrupted him and continued: "But, if a person dies in reality, there is nothing left. ”

Yan Xiuze was stunned.

"What the vast majority of human beings have been tirelessly pursuing throughout their lives—a richer material life, a higher social status, more and more insatiable desires...... What is the difference between it and the equipment and attributes in the game? They clenched their fists, gritted their teeth, and their eyes sparkled...... Chasing these things that may be sought for a lifetime but cannot be obtained, silently reciting some words of encouragement or demagogy in the bottom of my heart, trying to make my limited life seem meaningful. ”

"But really? It's like a game that will always be bad after playing for a long time, after chasing a lifetime of desire, in the end, what greets everyone is only eternal, and everything returns to nothingness. ”

"You can't take away your wealth in life, and you can't enjoy any supremacy after death...... Once a person dies, he is just a pile of rotten meat without any consciousness, without exception. ”

"I've met a lot of people who, when they see that I'm addicted to games all day long, always want to add some bullshit advice to my own life as a person who has come before, and the purpose of this advice is often to prove that everything that comes with the virtual worlds such as games, anime, etc., is something that doesn't make sense......"

"Whenever I like this, I never try to prove to them that the game is meaningful, like other game enthusiasts...... Because in my opinion, these games that I am playing now really don't make much sense. ”

"But every time, I kindly remind them that not only is there no point in immersing yourself in a game, but that immersing yourself in real life is also fucking like a game! Yes! Meaning! Righteousness! ”

"As you just said, the superpower of that Skyfire Sect Master is likely to be brainwashing and hypnotizing other people, and if it is allowed to develop, the world will always get worse...... I don't really agree with that. Shingoro Hayada took a sip of Coke with a melancholy face, and said lightly: "The vast majority of ordinary people in the world, even if there are no Heavenly Fire Sect Masters, aren't they still self-hypnotizing and brainwashing, making themselves mistakenly think that those things that are being pursued now are meaningful?" ”

Speaking of this, Shingoro Hayada was silent for a while, and finally said slowly, "But what? ”

"That's just an illusory, cheap satisfaction that humans have built up in reality."

Yan Xiuze twisted his neck a little stiffly, and his lips became dry: "Uh, are you ......?"

"Unfortunately, no." As if knowing what Yan Xiuze was going to say next, Hayada took the lead and said, "I'm not depressed...... This one is professionally diagnosed, so you don't have to doubt it. ”

"I didn't have any suicidal tendencies, and I didn't lose all my motivation in life...... I just chose the most comfortable way to live. ”

"It's just this way of living...... It just doesn't have to be too hard. ”

"You mean, are we people living a little too hard?" Yan Xiuze asked helplessly with a wry smile on his face.

"I didn't say that...... There is no distinction between high and low in people's pursuits, you have what you chase, fight for and protect, that's good, I naturally don't have the right to talk about it......" Shingoro Hayada shrugged his shoulders: "But please don't have any objections to my kind of way of life that seems to be a little 'negative', because even if you really have ...... I'm not going to listen either. ”

"Maybe you're right." Yan Xiuze nodded, he seemed to be persuaded by this statement of Shingoro Hayata.

"As I said, there's nothing right or wrong." Shingoro Hayada smiled: "It's just whether it's suitable or not." ”

"Looks like my trip should have been in vain." Yan Xiuze sighed: "You really can't help?" ”

"I'm sorry, but this is ...... There are some troubles, I am lazy, so I will not participate. Shingoro Hayada said casually, "I wish you success." ”

"Well, excuse me." Yan Xiuze bowed to Hayata, who was still sitting in the computer chair, and then walked towards the living room, probably preparing to leave.

"I'm not far away."

"No, I'll just leave by myself."

Approaching the entrance, Yan Xiuze, who had already changed into his shoes, paused the moment he opened the doorknob, but he didn't look back, just stood at the door and said:

"By the way, something suddenly occurred to me."

Shingoro Hayata, who had already planned to turn off the phone, was stunned by the action in his hand, and turned his head in surprise.

"When was that? Maybe it was when I was in junior high school......" Yan Xiuze took a breath, tilted his head, and seemed to fall into some kind of memory: "At that time, I liked to play an online game that was particularly popular in Huaxia at that time, and there was a top-level weapon in it that I particularly liked. ”

"At that time, online games were not as strong as in this era, and they didn't necessarily become stronger after spending money...... That weapon requires a very cumbersome process to obtain...... Chain-by-link quest lines take a lot of time to accumulate materials...... But I really like this weapon, I like it so much, so I went to great lengths to get it. ”

"It took me a full three months to complete all the prerequisites for this top-of-the-line weapon and get the forging materials together...... It's finally ready to be built. ”

"Those three months should have been the most tired and anxious in that game...... But it is also the most anticipated and happiest three months. ”

"In the end, I got the top-of-the-line weapon as I wished, and I worked hard to ...... it."

"But when I actually equipped the weapon, I suddenly felt a sense of humor, and hastily cut down a few mobs with it, and then went down the line in a huff."

"After a while, my equipment level has reached the limit of the version at that time...... The goal of becoming stronger was gone, but boring, so the game was quickly deleted. ”

"Now that I think about it, I made up my mind to delete the game at that time, doesn't it mean that in the past three months, all the efforts I have made in the whole game process have been in vain?"

"Really, is that so?" Yan Xiuze repeated in a low voice, then paused, and said in a firm tone: "Actually...... No. ”

"Maybe you're right...... In this life, in fact, there is nothing left, as if the archive has been deleted, and whatever the result is, it will always turn into nothingness...... But there is no point in it......"

Yan Xiuze paused for a moment before continuing: "At least, those joys, sorrows, and sorrows in real life are momentarily moved during the game...... These memories are real feelings, and only you can understand them. ”

"It's something that actually exists even if the archive is deleted, even if the lights go out even if the person dies."

"Even if you forget it later, you will die...... It's okay if you don't feel anything; All in all, after all, it is a thought. ”

"Perhaps, those who clenched their fists, gritted their teeth, and their eyes sparkled...... Human beings who are hypnotized by desire, what they really chase is not the final, the 'result' that is about to be expected, but what is truly valuable and meaningful, perhaps in fact...... It's the process of 'chasing' itself. ”
