Approaching the Earth Chapter 13 Want to Team Up?

The van arrived at the pier and docked against a huge cruise ship, which was the stage for a fierce race, the Voyage.

Mirmis was the first to jump out of the van and then observe the cruise ship. Visually, this cruise ship is about 200 to 300 meters, which is more than enough as a competition venue.

The man wearing the paper bag also got out of the van and exercised his body in place.

The other contestants, other than the two of them, were forced to board the boat by the staff with model guns pointed at them like prisoners being escorted.

The howling breeze on the seashore heightened the fear of the contestants, as if they were about to be sold to an unknown place.

There are handrails on both sides of the ladder to board the cruise ship, so those who are blindfolded will not accidentally fall into the sea.

After the other runners boarded the ship one after another, Mirmis and the paper bag man also followed the staff to the cruise ship's lobby.

The hall was bustling with noisy people, and the players who had taken off their blindfolds breathed a sigh of relief and laughed with relief.

There is a long queue on the east side, and the staff is registering the information of every player who comes to the competition.

A group of people gathered on the west side, and a presenter in a suit and leather shoes was interviewing the "kidnapped" contestants.

The host casually found a kind-looking contestant and asked, "We have adopted a new registration method for this competition, how do you feel?"

The man patted his chest with palpitations and said, "To be honest, it's scary, I don't want to go through it again." I almost thought I was going to die soon. ”

"Are you confident of winning this game?"

The man scratched his head and said with an embarrassed expression: "There was one, but now it's not particularly certain."

"Speaking of which, why do you want to bring players in this way?"

The host shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "Isn't this to increase the ratings, the current audience likes to watch something new."

The increasingly bland and repetitive registration method and competition content can no longer meet the excitement of the audience's rapid increase, and many media workers are aware of this, so the content of this event can be regarded as their bold attempt.

The staff led Mirmis and the Paper Bag Man to the players' lounge, as this registration time was too shaky, and most of the players needed to rest in bed and wait until they were energetic to participate in the evening competition.

Mirmis and the Paper Bag Man were assigned to the same room, which wasn't particularly spacious, but it was adequate. The paperbag man took the lead in stealing the bed by the outer door, and Mirmis did not fight with her, and sat quietly on the other bed.

The Paper Bag Man is lying in bed and starts playing mobile games for his pastime, and the sound of a retro-style video game comes from his phone, and he seems to be playing some old game.

The paper bag man has a cute snow dumpling pendant hanging on his phone, which is a very popular mascot merchandise for children.

The combination of a cute mascot and a weird paper bag man is very incompatible, making the original rustic picture a little weird.

Mirmis curiously leaned over to the Paper Bag Man to see what he was playing.

But the Paper Bag Man seemed unwilling to share his pleasure with Mirmis, and stubbornly rolled over.

Mirmis didn't give up right away, she craned her neck, leaned closer, and finally saw what was on the screen.

The game that the paper bag man is playing is Tetris, and it is a nostalgic pixel version, so even the music is 8-bit style.

After noticing Mirmis's small movements, the paper bag man pulled up the quilt and wrapped himself in the whole person.

Within ten seconds, however, he had given up on the idea because it was too stuffy.

After such a tossing and turning, the sound of "game over" came from the mobile phone, and after hearing this sound, a red angry sign seemed to appear on the head of the paper bag man.

The paper bag man threw the phone onto the bed, then jumped off the bed, stood directly next to Mirmis, and then grabbed Mirmis by the collar and lifted her up.

Mirmis saw through the two hollows in the paper bag man's eyes, and angry flames erupted from his eyes, his fists clenched and clenched.

The air was silent in the room for a long time, and the Paper Bag Man finally didn't raise his fist, but silently released his left hand that was tugging at Mirmis's collar, and then lay back on the bed.

The temporary roommate doesn't seem to be friendly, and his temper is fiery but he manages to restrain himself.

If he had just landed that punch, Mirmis would have determined that he had the intent to attack and would have reported his actions to the tournament's organizers.

Do as the locals do, and this applies to robots as well.

When it comes to the earth, to the human world, it is normal to follow the laws of human beings.

If it is only to this extent, there is no need to report it, it will just leave a bad impression on Mirmis, and this will be preserved as human information.

Of course, it is not reasonable to judge a population on a case-by-case basis, and more information is often needed to draw conclusions. Mirmis is not only competing to win prize money, but also to collect data on human beings in recreational competitions.

In particular, the athletic ability, combat ability, etc. of ordinary human beings.

After all, it is not so easy to obtain the title of "Dark Planet" in the universe, and according to Mirmis's speculation, earthlings must have the force value of splitting durian with one hand to cause enough deterrence to other alien civilizations.

It's just that according to Mirmis's daily observations, most humans don't even seem to have the strength to climb the fifth floor, and after running a few hundred meters, they will be tired and panting, and then turn into a soft salted fish.

You can't do without air conditioning in summer and heating in winter, and your body is incredibly fragile.

Is it a disguise of humanity or is it a degradation caused by technological progress?

Mirmis can't make up her mind for the time being, but the appearance of the paper bag man gives Mirmis a special feeling, she has a hunch that this human is not simple, and it is likely to become a strong opponent in the game.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

The paper bag man lying on the bed suddenly became agitated and ran to the door excitedly. After he opened the door, there was a spiritual guy standing outside with a very bright smile.

The spirit guy waved in a friendly way: "Hello, I'm—"

Before he could introduce himself, the spirit guy's words were stopped by the rude closing of the door of the paper bag man, and the paper bag man returned to the bed angrily, sitting cross-legged very dissatisfied.

Mirmis opened the door, but the spirit guy didn't leave, still maintaining a sunny and cheerful expression, and didn't seem to mind the rude behavior of the paper bag man.

The spirit guy cleared his throat and said solemnly, "Let me introduce myself again, my name is Bill."

Bill stretched out his right hand and said very gentlemanly, "I'm here to invite you to form a team."

"Teaming up?"

Mirmis turned his head and saw the Paper Bag Man shaking his head, he didn't seem to have any intention of forming a team.

Bill knew that it would not be so easy to convince others, so he continued to persuade him: "Although we don't know the rules of this tournament very well, generally speaking, teaming up will increase the winning rate of the game. If we win, we can split the prize evenly, so it's much better than not getting a penny in a solo battle, right? ”

"I don't want to form a team."

Mirmis very decisively declined Bill's invitation.

Bill was a little surprised, he had expected Mirmis to say yes right away. Bill glared at the cardboard man with hatred, as if his failure was all the fault of the other party.

Bill waved his hands bitterly and said, "Don't listen to him, he doesn't even dare to show his true face, which shows how low his trust in other people is."

As long as Mirmys has an antipathic attitude towards the Paper Bag Man, then the probability of persuading her to go to this side will increase, Bill quietly made such a calculation in his heart.

Bill put on a Ling Ran appearance again, and sang: "I think we should give up our distrust of others and sincerely cooperate once in order to obtain better benefits."

Bill informed the two of the benefits of teaming up, but the effect was very small, and the Paper Bag Man did not listen carefully from beginning to end, and although Mirmis seemed to be simple and easy to deceive, the actual difficulty of persuasion seemed to be far greater than that of the Paper Bag Man.

"Teaming up means being a companion, but if the game is an elimination system and there is only one person left, then you need to shoot at your partner in order to make sure that the game can be successful.

I don't want to shoot at my companions, so I'm not going to be a companion. ”

"Mr. Bill, please find someone else to team up."

Bill spread his hands helplessly and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I hope you won't regret your decision now."

Bill quickly left their room and headed to the next player lounge to begin his speech.

As Mirmis closed the door and was about to return to his bed, a gentle female voice came from under the paper bag: "Wise decision."

The Paper Bag Man unreservedly praised Mirmis's decision, and she now felt that Mirmis was not as stupid as she looked.

Judging from the immaturity of the voice, the age of the paper bag person is estimated to be around 15-24 years old.

"Look at him like that, he is a person who will betray his companions, and he is not trustworthy."

The Paper Bag Man was merciless in her dislike for Bill, and she didn't care what Mirmis would do to her because of this.

"You ......"

Mirmis covered her mouth in surprise, something had happened today beyond her imagination.

After seeing Mirmis's reaction, the paper bag man sneered and said, "I won't team up with you either, I will win the championship alone and get all the prize money."

The paper bag man is very confident in her strength, and even has some arrogant tendencies.

Mirmis was stunned for a long time, and she didn't seem to be relieved, wondering if it was the words of the paper bag man that caused her an impact, or if it was for some other reason.

Mirmis looked at the paper bag man in silence, her eyes full of disbelief, and she exclaimed, "Are you a woman?"

"Huh?!"

The paper bag man froze in place, even if he couldn't see through the paper bag, he seemed to be able to see her subtle expression, and the embarrassing atmosphere spread through the room.
