Everyone was still in the silver space before the safe zone was opened, and Steve, who had just become the leader of the team, planned to take advantage of this time to have a combat meeting.

He stood in front of the round platform, looked around with his hands on the table and said: "I think everyone here is smart, at least smarter than me, I won't point fingers, everyone can talk freely, but try not to deviate from the topic, the theme of this combat meeting is to analyze the known rules and formulate the principles of the next action, let's start." ”

Natasha gave him a thumbs up and said, "I like you best, Captain, and he'll have to talk about this for at least half an hour for Nick." ”

Steve smiled, shrugged his shoulders and said, "He wasn't like this when he was in the war, and after being the director for a long time, it is inevitable that he will have some bureaucratic habits." ”

Stark pressed his middle finger on his eyebrows, and after a deep thought, he lowered his hand, tapped his index finger on the countertop, and said, "I'm not going to be polite to you, I do have some ideas about the rules I just heard." ”

"First of all, this is the simplest zero-sum game, there can only be one winner, and the loser has nothing, which means two points, first, we always have to grab resources from others, and second, the first mover must have a huge advantage that is difficult to surpass."

"I say the first point to ......" Stark's gaze wandered over Peter and Steve's faces for a moment, and then said, "It's inevitable to compete with our siblings, that is, other superheroes, for resources, I wonder what you think about this?" ”

Steve pondered for a moment and said, "I think our focus should be on making sure that every game is successfully played, because if you lose the game, there is nothing." ”

"I'm not going to hurt anyone." Peter shook his head vigorously and said, "I know I can't do it at all, whatever it is. ”

"Okay, then go a step further." Schiller opened his mouth and said, "If the other team members will die, will you save them?" ”

Steve, Peter, and Stark looked at each other, and it was Steve who said, "If he didn't hurt us, then we'll help as much as we can, but if he wants to do something to us, then don't blame us for being rude." ”

Peter nodded as well, and Stark rubbed his upper lip with his index finger and said, "If they didn't help us, I wouldn't help them, and if he helped us, I would repay the favor, but if he didn't help us and wanted to harm us, or deliberately released water and caused the game to fail, then I would take the initiative to attack." ”

That's when Matt spoke: "If someone has the intention of harming us, or simply messing up the game for everyone to lose, then I will kill him, regardless of whether he has a negative number of points." ”

Schiller nodded, it can be regarded as understanding the principle of good and evil of everyone, in fact, this is not unexpected, Steve and Peter are very traditional and decent people, Stark is relatively neutral, Matt is jealous and hateful, as for him and Natasha, needless to say, the main one is revenge and revenge.

"Then let's make three chapters of the law." Stark stretched out a finger and said: "On the premise of ensuring that the interests of the winning team in the game will not be damaged, no one will interfere with anyone's choice, and if there is still strength left, if you want to save people, you will save yourself, and if you want revenge, you will take revenge." ”

Natasha frowned, looking disapproving, and said, "But if the team is attrition due to the act of saving people, isn't it also harming the interests of the team?" ”

"Somebody has to take that risk." Steve pondered for a moment and thought about it, "According to the rules of the game, sometimes saving people is not entirely a conscientious act, in order to prevent negative numbers from entering the prize pool, we also have to save people for profit, and in the same way, in order for the team to achieve the final victory, someone may have to kill someone." ”

"If we involve each other, some people don't let another group of people save people, and some people stop another group of people from killing people, then I'm afraid we will only drag ourselves back."

Peter covered his face and said, "I won't hurt anyone myself anyway, but I have to admit that there are always black sheep, so if you want to take revenge, I don't see it." ”

"It's better to talk about it." Matt tapped the ground lightly with his cane and said, "Don't wait until the time of the emergency to have a debate between good and evil on the spot." ”

"Then it's decided." Stark knocked on the table and said, "Everyone acts on their own ground, but assumes that the other person's position is neutral and does not interfere with the other person's actions." ”

"What if there is a conflict?" Natasha asked.

"The best interests of the team are the first priority." Schiller said.

The other people looked around, looked at each other, and finally nodded, which was considered to be in agreement.

"Then let's talk about the second point." Stark then brought the topic back to the point and said: "The rule that you can buy items with points makes the first-mover advantage accumulated in the early stage of the game unimaginable, as long as you earn enough points and hoard enough props, you will almost be invincible." ”

"So I think our early combat style should be more aggressive and risk-taking, earning as many points as possible and then exchanging them for items."

Schiller quietly listened to Stark's summary, and found that Stark's eyes were looking here, Schiller pressed his hand on his chin and said: "According to common sense, this combat strategy is correct, but if you think about it carefully, there are many questions, such as is there an upper limit to the props that can be purchased with points?" Can items be stored in a safe area? Or do you have to bring it with the members? ”

Schiller rolled his eyes to the side, thought for a moment, and said, "The rules of the game are clearly to encourage duelists to fight among themselves, so I think the answer to the second question is likely to be on whoever redeems the item with whom." ”

"If this is the case, if you are eliminated in the game, the items will drop along with the points, which adds another layer of variables to the prize pool and blocks the way for a large number of items to be hoarded."

Natasha nodded and said, "Then it becomes very important to reasonably distribute the bearers of points and props, otherwise it is very likely to make wedding dresses for others." ”

"I always felt that it wasn't that simple." Peter pursed his lips and frowned, "The rules are really clear and easy to understand, and there are nothing complicated, but I always feel that there are still many things missing. ”

Schiller stretched out his arms, propped his hands on the edge of the table, and said, "Remember, if you see any announcement that says 'The right of interpretation belongs to the organizers,' then you can assume that all of the above is a fart, and there must be more important rules that have not been announced." ”

"Let's talk about what's next." Steve glanced at the back of his hand and said, "Courage, wisdom, and unity, which type do you think would be better to take the lead?" ”

"Do you need to ask? It must be wisdom. Natasha shrugged her shoulders, pointed her finger around the people and said, "All of you here are smart people, and it must be a quiz or something that is more suitable for you." ”

"I always felt that something was wrong." Stark rubbed his thumb and forefinger against his jaw and said, "Wisdom is also all-encompassing, it may be pure brain calculation speed, it may be abstract thinking, it may be mental games or simple memory or something. ”

And the so-called classification of courage is even more ambiguous, what does it mean to have courage? Is it the courage to save people or the courage to kill? Is it a reckless advance or a sober-minded pause? Isn't that all about courage? ”

Several of them thought about it, obviously imagining what kind of games would be there and which kind of games would be more suitable for them.

At this time, Schiller said: "I am also in favor of participating in the wisdom game first, the rules of the game are definitely more complicated, and we can more easily see the organizer's idea of designing the game, so as to gain an information advantage." ”

Just as he was saying this, a prompt sounded in everyone's ears: "The safety zone is about to be expanded, ten ...... Nine...... Eight...... Seven ......"

At the end of the ten-second countdown, the silver curtain of light was removed, and everyone found themselves in a wooden house, looking out the window, surrounded by forests, and looking far away, there seemed to be the shadow of a city-state above the mountains of the skyline.

Steve and Stark pushed the door open without thinking, and when they rushed out, they found that it was a logging camp, with five rooms and five rooms, including the warehouse, surrounded by a timber processing plant, and a small stockyard next to it.

"We have a good spawn point." Schiller walked out and looked at the environment and said, "It seems that there is no other safe zone around, and the resources of the forest farm are ours." ”

Natasha walked out, stretched and said, "I don't know if it's okay to make weapons here, give Tony Stark some raw materials, he can take us to the moon." ”

Stark looked down at the sand under his feet and said, "In terms of topography and climate, it doesn't look like the United States, but like Canada." ”

Schiller also squinted at it, and the light was like early morning, with wisps of visible light shining through the tall and colorful trees, the dry air was full of coolness, and the feeling of autumn was welling up in his heart.

Suddenly, Matt, who was walking at the end, said, "There should be an entrance to the stream near here, and I heard the sound of the water." ”

The group began to search, and soon found a clear stream not far from the camp, and when Peter put his hand into the stream, he exclaimed in exclamation, and looked at the various pebbles under the stream with some curiosity.

The creek is surrounded by layers of shrubs, and after three minutes of walking downstream along the stream, you will see a very open lake.

"This can't be Lake Superior, right?" Natasha straightened her hair and said.

"It's not that big." Peter immediately pointed out the problem and said, "If it were Lake Superior, it would have been surrounded by an oceanic climate, but the air was dry, which means that the lake is not very large, it is almost impossible to be a great lake, and it is more likely to be a small lake in a national forest park." ”

Steve looked far away, then pointed across the lake and said, "Look there, is there a city there?" ”

He pointed to the opposite side, and saw in the distance that there seemed to be some man-made buildings on the multicolored mountains covered with deciduous forests, and Peter held out his hand again to determine the proportions, and then said, "It's not a city, but a mountain settlement, and I guess it's a safe area for a team." ”

Stark stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Steve, shielded his hand from the eye socket to block out the harsh sunlight, looked left and right and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there should only be so-called duelists on this earth, and a hundred teams sounds like a lot, even if each team is six people, it is only six hundred, and if they are evenly dispersed on the earth, they may never meet." ”

"But we had another team's safe zone in front of us, which suggests that the organizers were deliberately putting some of the contestants together, and Steve speculated that it was probably to increase the competition between the contestants."

"Let's go back to the woods, from the topography, we can see their camp, but they can't see us, that's one of our strengths, it's better to be hidden." Matt proposed.

They went back along the brook, but halfway through Peter rubbed his belly and said, "Why do I feel a little hungry?" Will you be hungry here too? ”

Steve immediately turned his head to look at him, and Matt sighed and said, "I've long felt that even in this world, we have to solve our basic survival needs by ourselves, do you know what that means?" ”

Matt looked up at the mottled forest path decorated with all kinds of leaves and shrubs, and asked himself: "It means that we can only win and not lose, once we get injured in the game and lose our ability to earn a living, we will inevitably drag down the care of our teammates and fall into an endless vicious circle." ”
