Chapter 4 Side-to-side

After learning about the five difficulties, Shen Yi did not leave, but continued to chat with Hua Tianrui and them. Of course, the rest of the chat is much more casual.

Shen Yi first saluted Hua Tianrui before saying, "Thank you for telling me about the situation, although there is one thing you didn't say, but I can already imagine that the territory of the adventurers is not only facing the Zerg, but also other adventurers, right?"

Hua Tianrui smiled: "Competing for resources, this is what every adventurer has been doing. ”

Those who lose their territory want to regain their territory, those who have territory want more territory, and the Zerg are overwhelming, so start with the weak adventurers, even in the world of five difficulties, such internal competition still exists, and it is more intense, and it often appears in the form of battles.

"The Supreme Council won't stop it?" Shen Yi asked.

"The Supreme Council had tried to stop the cannibalism of human adventurers, but in the end they discovered that the law of the jungle was itself the best way to be powerful. Weak adventurers are far less resource-efficient than strong adventurers. Before the fourth difficulty, everyone can get benefits by hunting quest monsters, and the income itself can grow together, but in the fifth difficulty, there is a relative total balance, even if it is not a zero-sum model, but it is close. The territory is limited, and the more you have, the fewer others you have. ”

"Can't you get more territory from the Zerg?"

"The larger the territory, the smaller the number of people diluted, and the weaker the guards, and vice versa. Hua Tianrui replied to Shen Yi with the simplest conversion relationship.

Although adventurers can increase their earnings by expanding their territory, the Zerg can also shrink their strength and strike with all their might.

Under the leadership of the master's consciousness, the Zerg are also very smart, they know that the bigger the territory, the more priority they have to deal with, so the stronger the strength, the heavier the blow.

To a certain extent, today's adventurers have reached a balance with the Zerg, everyone occupies half of the country, and when the external extension is powerless, they can only plunder internally, so internal strife has become inevitable. In consideration of the need for the development of strength, the Supreme Council acquiesced in this fact, and of course, it still had to strive to control it within a range, and too fierce internal strife was still not allowed.

However, for adventurers who aim for territory, there is really nothing too tragic.

If you don't kill anyone, you can just give me the territory.

"If I'm not mistaken, there should also be four divisions in the fifth difficulty, right?" Shen Yi asked quietly, seemingly just a random question that followed the topic.

"Of course, since all the adventurers are all together, it is only natural to divide them into zones, but this is just a self-division, not a system. By the way, our East End is the largest in the simulation world. Hua Tianrui said quite smugly.

"I guessed it. Shen Yi said with a smile: "The four districts of the southeast, northwest and northwest have always been divided into strong and weak regions, and I heard a long time ago that the two districts in the northeast are the strongest. But at that time, I wondered one thing, how to define this strongest? After all, there must be a standard, right? It's not that you say you're the strongest, you're the strongest, and it's not the so-called universal recognition. Therefore, the common world of five difficulties is the best standard...... Whoever has a big territory is the boss. ”

"That's right. Hua Tianrui also smiled: "This is the standard for defining the strength of the four districts, and everything is based on this." The boss of the four districts has always been the two northeast districts fighting, sometimes they are stronger, sometimes we are stronger. Originally, the weakest was the South, but this time Edmund was finished, and the Westside lost a large piece of territory and has fallen to the weakest point. Cliff has threatened to regain everything he has lost and restore Purgatory's prestige when he enters the simulation world. ”

Shen Yi was not interested in Cliff, but said: "I heard that the reason why the Eastern District can become the boss is mainly because of the unity of the Eastern District. ”

"That's right!" Hua Tianrui replied with certainty: "In terms of personal strength, we are not as good as the North District." In terms of numbers, we are inferior to the West End. In terms of artifacts, we are not as good as the South District. But we are united in the Eastern Region! Everyone else is attacking together and stationed separately, but our Dragon League has been leading everyone to garrison together. I wouldn't dare say that there was no infighting in the East End, but it was certainly the least of the four. It is under the leadership of our Dragon League, everyone takes care of each other, and the Eastern District can keep the largest territory without losing it, relying on this. ”

It is said that the Chinese are good at internal fighting, but this is actually a competition of interests based on the absence of external enemies, and the nature of other regions is different.

In the southern district, the Japanese want to take the lead, the South Koreans will definitely not accept it, the Koreans will take the lead, and the North Koreans will definitely not want to. Indians and Pakistan are mortal enemies, Israel and Palestinians kill as soon as they meet, and they can even ignore their tasks, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Myanmar, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the relationship between countries is not much better.

The same is true in the Western Side, where the ethnic hatred and confusion brought about by the rotten history of Europe and the United States are no worse than in any other region. Britain and Argentina are mortal enemies; France and Germany do not deal with each other; Britain and France do not like each other and oppose Germany together; the Spaniards will support the French because they also hate the British, and the Greeks will support the British because they have to find someone to support them; Romania is accustomed to smashing Hungary to the death; Poland will help whoever deals with the Germans, and the Germans will always be the most tragic, who called them a Hitler; the Swiss are accustomed to neutrality and often borrow money from adventurers from all over the world, they are bloody point financing lenders earlier than Shen Yi, but the business efficiency is not good-- There are too many bad debts.

It's the same with the people of the North District, Africa has always been at war, cannibalism, and the degree of killing is only more brutal, Australia was tragically divided into the North District, and was abused by a group of primitive savages, Uncle Black.

Not to mention the districts, even the major organizations are still strife, and the Purgatory Sect is also strife. Because of the same culture and species, the eastern district has similar cultural concepts, and the unity is much higher than that of the other three districts. Of course, there are infighting, but it is usually a conflict of interests, at least not like some people in the other three districts have risen to the level of principle.

"So Shen Yi, all of this is won through our united efforts, if you ......"

Shen Yi knew that he wanted to persuade himself to join the Dragon Alliance, so he interrupted him and smiled: "I think this is God's favor." ”

Hua Tianrui said: "What do you say?"

"Isn't it?" Shen Yi asked rhetorically: "The Eastern District is basically dominated by Chinese, which is almost unique among the four districts. The reason why the Eastern District is so united has a lot to do with this. Although the reason given by the metropolis is by population. But there are 7 billion people on the planet, and China is only 1.3 billion. According to the quarter, you have to add a few countries to the Eastern Region, but the Eastern Region only adds a few small regions, and most of them are Chinese of the same language and species, and there is no decent big country. Because of this, the Eastern District has become the world of the Chinese, and everyone can unite and resist foreign enemies together. ”

When Shen Yi said this, Hua Tianrui was also a little speechless.

Shen Yi is right, in fact, there have long been rumors in the city that Chinese are favored by the Supreme Council, but such rumors have been warned and have not been spread.

But there are some things that everyone sees in their eyes and remembers in their hearts, and they don't say it in their mouths, and their hearts are bright.

Now that Shen Yi took the initiative to break it, Hua Tianrui could only smile bitterly, he didn't say it, but the fourth sister-in-law next to him snorted unconvinced: "Where does God take care of it, this is simply our own efforts Chinese, if it weren't for ......"

"Fourth sister-in-law!" Hua Tianrui had already shouted in a deep voice.

The fourth sister-in-law immediately shut up, and Shen Yi smiled and said: "So that's the case, I understand, all this should be fought for by the Supreme Council especially for the Eastern District......, right? No wonder ......"

Hua Tianrui and the others stood up at the same time.

Shen Yi waved his hand: "Before the end of this mission, I had contact with Boss Lan Yan, and I already knew some things, it seems that you also know, that's good, you can open the skylight and say bright things, don't hide it, it hurts your feelings." ”

Hua Tianrui stared at Shen Yi for a while, and finally laughed: "No wonder you came to me, you just came to test this, right?"

"I just want to know the identity of the Politburo Standing Committee, it's not too much, right?" Shen Yi casually took out a cigarette Hua Tianrui, the other party shook his head, and the fourth sister-in-law took it: "The Council of Seven, how many seats are there in the Eastern District, or how many seats does the Dragon League have?"

Hua Tianrui laughed and looked at Shen Yi: "One." ”

Just one?

Shen Yi paused for a moment, and then understood: "001?"

Hua Tianfu nodded.

No wonder!

Shen Yi understood it all now.

"Who is it?" asked Shen Yi.

"The founder of the Dragon League, and the only one who is organized. In exchange for relinquishing a seat, the Eastern District is dominated by Chinese who also hold the position of speaker. Shen Yi, for the development of the entire Eastern District, the Dragon Alliance has made an indelible contribution!" Hua Tianrui said in a deep voice, since Shen Yi already knew the most important part, the details didn't matter.

"So that's ......," Shen Yi nodded.

In order to balance strength and facilitate decision-making, the seven-member organization of the Supreme Council does not allow even numbers on the one hand, and on the other hand, it must take into account the interests of all districts.

In the end, the result of the balance was that the Eastern Region was the sole ruler of China, and the founder of the Dragon League was the speaker. At the same time, there are two people in each of the other three districts, and in order to suppress the forces of the three districts and avoid the dominance of local factions, except for the speaker, other councillors are not allowed to have an organized identity.

Therefore, there are councillors in the western district, but there are no councillors in the purgatory.

"If I'm guessing correctly, 003 and 004 are supposed to be the West End. Shen Yi said with a smile.

At that time, Shen Yi had already had a conflict with the Purgatory Sect, although the two councilors were not members of the Purgatory Sect, the Purgatory Sect was a part of the Western District, and it was only natural to help the Purgatory Sect.

Since 003 and 004 are the West Zone, then 002 and 006 should be the North Zone, because these two also directly denied the conviction. The North District has always only liked the strong, and the concept of morality is very indifferent, in order to be strong and not afraid of death, even if it is an enemy, as long as you are strong enough, you can gain their respect.

At that time, Shen Yi had already shown his strength, and there was no deep contradiction with the Northern District, and the only Asura who had been defeated did not chase him to the end, so it was not surprising that the people in the Northern District liked him. And from the ranking point of view, this is also in line with the strength of the North District, because 002 should be the identity of the deputy speaker, and it is estimated that there is no difference between 003 and 007.

The southern district is naturally 005 and 007, a typical soy sauce role, when the Supreme Council made a decision, one abstained, and the other proposed to suspend the treatment, from this position, the southern district is also the weakest.

The status of the upper class directly determines the power of the lower class, although there is only one person in the Eastern District, but he is in the position of speaker and has the right of veto, which shows that the status is transcendent.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi has basically figured out the bottom of the Supreme Council, although it is only speculation, it can basically be concluded to be true.

"What an amazing big guy. Shen Yi sincerely admired: "But to have this kind of status, I'm afraid it's not enough to just make concessions to the seats, right?" I guess the rebellion of the Fourth Age, he should also be the main mastermind." ”

Hua Tianrui said with a smile: "We prefer to call it the victory of the great revolution for freedom and democracy." ”

"Pounce!" Shen Yi squirted out a mouthful of old tea, and he looked at Hua Tianrui: "I haven't heard this word for a long time, but I didn't expect the old tune to be a little fresh." Jasmine/Flowers? or October?"

Hua Tianrui shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Dawn War." ”

That's a good word, it sounds much better than the Great Rebellion of the Quaternary Age, but it seems that we don't see the light of day, and there are still endless battles. ”

"If your big universe project can succeed, then the light will come...... No matter how long the night is, there will always be a day of sunrise. Hua Tianrui replied poetically.

"But the sun will set after all. The fourth sister-in-law glared at him arrogantly.

"It's a feeling, isn't it? It's constantly shuttling through the body, and there is no end to it. If the acquisition of a human body is the sunrise of your life, then the loss of this body is another dark night? Can't you stay in one body all the time?"

Shen Yi seized the opportunity to skillfully change the topic.

The fourth sister-in-law rolled her eyes: "The soul is incompatible, and the body will gradually lose its vitality, so it must be transferred every once in a while." ”

"No wonder. Shen Yi asked curiously, "Can you tell me why you made this choice?"

He didn't ask about the secret method of soul reincarnation, he only asked why he made this choice, and he didn't touch the secret, so everyone didn't stop the fourth sister-in-law.

The fourth sister-in-law replied: "It's nothing, it's just an inevitable choice that may die and exist in another form." ”

"But that's dangerous, isn't it?"

"The technology is already mature, the danger is very small, it's just that it's more difficult to find volunteers. ”

"Does that mean you've done many experiments in this area before? This isn't an ability that the Dragon Alliance has only recently mastered, but has only matured recently?"

"Uh...... Sort of. ”

Hua Tianrui frowned unknowingly, but fortunately, Shen Yi didn't continue to ask, just patted the fourth sister-in-law and said, "I believe that one day in the future, you will develop a complete soul transfer ability, and then you won't have to move all day." Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else, how do you think the enchantress is not too emotional, is she out of love......"

Shen Yi took the initiative to change the topic, no longer talked about it, and chatted with everyone for a while.

The old capital of the narrative has been finished, and Shen Yi got up and left.

Hua Tianrui kept sending him to the gate, looking at Shen Yi's departing back, his brows tightened: "Strange." ”

"What?" asked Lonely Arrogant.

"I always felt that his intention this time was not very simple. ”

"Don't you just want to get something from us about the Supreme Council?" said the Enchantress boredly.

Hua Tianrui shook his head: "Since he already knows, why should he care so much about those details? He doesn't plan to join the Dragon Alliance." I don't know why, but I always feel like we still let him know too much. ”

"He's already known enough, as long as he doesn't know the core stuff. The fourth sister-in-law replied.

"What is the core? Even what we know is not necessarily the core. Arrogant and bitter.

"Maybe. Hua Tianrui said leisurely, looking up at the sky above him.

At the same time, after turning a corner, Shen Yi walked towards the western district.
