Book 2: The Secret Room of the Dead, 34.

Being able to stand out for Chen Xi is, of course, not a sudden convulsion of Kolchak's head, or a passionate burning time between the two, but a secret conversation on the road more than half an hour ago, since the second wave of monster attacks.

"Can I gain your trust?"

The opening words are very idiotic, at least in Chen Xi's feeling, he is more willing to hold a gun against the huge head and say "trust, death, choose one", so as to show his Brother Chen's mighty and domineering, but people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

"Trust?"

"Yes, trust."

In front of Kolchak's puzzled gaze, Chen Xi once again emphasized the importance of this word.

"My position in the team is very embarrassing, others seem to need my wisdom and respect me, but, with my current strength, how long this respect can be maintained is uncertain, compared with the role that will occasionally be shown, it is more intuitive and obvious to show strong strength on the road, especially for this improvised team, after a task, it is basically difficult to meet each other again."

"Figuratively speaking, their trust in me is like a sandcastle built on the beach, which seems to be one, but in fact it is very fragile and loose, and it will be washed away by dangerous waves."

Chen Xi said very sincerely. The frankness and self-knowledge in these words were more interesting to Kolchak than the concise rhetoric. Because only this type of intelligent person is the most terrifying, and will not be blinded by momentary victory and pride, which often means that they are difficult to defeat.

"And what do you mean?" Kolchak asked, a rare hint of anticipation in his tone.

"You should be able to see that the difficulty of the previous two waves of monsters is nothing to us who are all evolutionaries, but we are not really safe, the hidden danger is that this show will increase the difficulty with our strength performance, I am 100% sure that the number of the next wave will surprise us, so in order to be safer on the way, I plan to artificially reduce the difficulty, and this requires your support."

"Huh?" Kolchak was puzzled. This answer was obviously a bit unexpected to him, and in his heart, he thought that Chen Xi wanted to directly say that he wanted to take refuge in them and seek refuge here.

"To gain your trust, I will naturally show the value I deserve, what do you think are included in the evaluation criteria of our strength in the eyes of the people who manipulate this show?"

Chen Xi heard the other party's puzzlement, he smiled, didn't wait for Kolchak to think about this question, and directly said the answer: "In addition to the number of people and the performance on the road, it will definitely include the equipment on the body, and before meeting the boss in the second level, the three of us all got additional equipment to give, and then the boss went berserk, which is enough to prove this point of view." ”

"In that case, why don't we do the opposite, use the transfer of equipment to artificially cause the decline and increase of strength, and by the way, eliminate the excess number, and this process may also confirm one of my guesses, the acquisition of equipment is not for nothing."

"Are you going to take the initiative to donate your equipment, but the current situation is that everyone is taking the risk on the road, and who can guarantee that they will return it to you after they take it."

Kolchak didn't bother with the speculation, he paid more attention to practical problems, although the idea was a bit whimsical.

But then, Chen Xi gave a specific reference for this whimsical idea: "Have you ever watched a WEE (American Professional Wrestling) match? ”

Seeing Kolchak nodded, Chen Xi continued to explain.

"In the eyes of many viewers who are new to this kind of show, the fights in it feel very fake, and some are even more entertainment like shows, and even set up villains, decent and other characters as gimmicks to divide inclined groups, and this kind of competition that can basically see the results through voting before the game starts, for what will attract a large number of audiences and make them happy, is because the games and fights in it are designed according to the psychological needs of the audience."

"According to the above line of thought, after we get these equipment that few people can get, and have amazing performances, will there be a large number of fans who silently support us in the back, and then show it on the specific values collected by this show, in this case, when designing the difficulty problem, will they also consider the psychological tendency of this large number of people, and dare not let us die easily, and even let us easily pass the test in the process of designing some links."

Chen Xi actually wants to use the more bloody programs such as "Fast Man", "Fast Woman" and "The Voice" as examples, but after thinking about it, forget it, this guy must not have watched it.

In fact, when he heard this, Kolchak's mouth had already opened to a very large size, and he couldn't have imagined that a very serious and cruel tortuous process of desperately struggling on the line of life and death would be reduced to such a pale reality full of deception and copper smell in Chen Xi's mouth.

Kolchak suddenly felt the urge to return to the real world and smash all the TVs, which was too disrespectful for what they had paid.

Could it be that they have worked hard for so long, and it is really a show that can change the outcome at will?

Kolchak's straight brain circuit was a little unturned, this feeling of being impacted by the three views was very bad, it was hard to say what kind of feeling he was feeling now, and he was even a little absent-minded about Chen Xi's words behind him.

"With this foundation in mind, it's now time to explain the three questions you asked."

"Of course, this is not an initiative to send, since someone will solve this trouble for me, a weak existence with a large sum of supplies, no less than holding a delicious piece of meat to seduce a hungry wild dog, in fact, I planted this introduction when I said the way of contribution."

"A show always has to have someone as the villain and set up a target for emotional catharsis, especially in this show that uses the selection of the most intelligent and courageous fighters as a gimmick, nothing will attract the audience's hatred more than a few guys who can only fight, bully and get something for nothing."

"There is a sense of engagement when there is emotion, no matter what era it is, as long as it is a program for people, it will be designed according to this basic point."

"The second question you said is not right, the situation of taking on the difficulty together will not always be like this, before entering the rest area, the guy over there has already given us a hint, since the foreshadowing of sowing discord has been buried, there must be a place where we can do some dirty things that show the complexity of human nature."

"As for the third question, I don't think there is any need to worry about it, it doesn't matter if they let them save it, and maybe even speed up their death process, in the gladiatorial battles of the Roman era, the equipment that represents the honor of the audience is not something that anyone can take, and in the sacred duel, the audience designates the weapon chosen by the gladiator, even if the gladiator dies, the weapon cannot change hands, and it needs to be wrapped in a white cloth and buried together."

Chen Xi said in detail, did not pretend to be clever and played any tricks, and tried to let the other party understand everything he did.

After all, it was from the most elite soldiers, and Kolchak had completely regained his composure by this time. After listening to Chen Xi's speech, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky and asked the most important key: "We are saying here, there should be a knowledge of the Tao over there, you don't have to worry about them not doing what you said, no one who is too smart will rest assured, not to mention that you are still indirectly supporting them to do things." ”

"I think it won't be good if they know it, at most they won't broadcast this part, and they may even be happy in their hearts, I created enough gimmicks for them to attract attention."

Chen Xi is very confident in this, because he once became the head of a commercial television station in a small South Asian country and intended to use it to manipulate elections (views) and elections (public), so naturally he knows a lot about this aspect.

"I finally understand what your exclusive title is called [Crazy Net Weaver Master], it is indeed an awe-inspiring existence."

Kolchak smiled bitterly, and before the third wave of monsters arrived, he finally chose to believe this guy who made him wonder what to say: "But I have to say, you have completely gained my trust, what are you going to let me do?" ”

"First, acting, don't show strength beyond Bolivan on the road, don't save people, try to let other people die every once in a while."

"Second, acting, I don't need to be obviously inclined to me in my attitude, I will behave lewdly on the subsequent road to make them relax their vigilance."

"Third, it's still acting, when they are in trouble, they clearly express their support for me, and then reluctantly compromise, in the process try to show the kind of comradeship under the vicious force, and in the end, I will show you what is called self-inflicted death and cannot live examples."
