Chapter 237: The Underlying Logic of "The End of the Hungry Ghosts".
How do Lent players have their own clan?
This question is very practical to Jiang Qian.
To answer this question, we need to go back to thinking about the pattern of the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" dungeon.
Super species players who have entered the apocalypse have embarked on three different "ways of survival" through "food selection":
All three can continue to meet the conditions for using the superspecies ability through the corresponding "food selection", that is, when solving the first test "hunger" given to the player by the dungeon, the problem solved by these three feeding methods is consistent. It is nothing more than that there is a difference in efficiency and effectiveness.
Unlike fasting players, players on the other two paths can see a clear direction of motivation and continue to progress accordingly: create a race, complete migration, etc.
The "fasting" player chooses to restrain the overflowing appetite, has a limited choice of food, and endures hunger, seemingly embarking on an ascetic path. But attentive gamers will eventually find that they have an added benefit once and for all: appetite is gradually returning to normal.
The other two paths seem to solve the problem with the highest efficiency, but in fact, the overflowing appetite has not been curbed, and the problem of "indulgence" always exists in the way of "indulgence".
Each has its pros and cons, but maintains the unity of the underlying logic.
In Jiang Qian's view, the underlying logic here may contain both the consistency of the causality of each path, and the consistency of the copy test faced by the three at the same stage.
According to this line of thought, the stage goal of fasting players is undoubtedly pointed to "group creation" by working backwards in the direction of motivation that can be seen in the other two paths.
So, how does the creation of a fasting player community come about?
He didn't find any clues for the time being.
However, judging from the "invincible" urine nature of the "fasting" path, he can not be said to have achieved nothing now: the residents of Ideal Town who have been rescued by him and are grateful to him, and those who are willing to believe in him and fight side by side, can also be regarded as the "ethnic group" he "founded" in a sense.
The difference is that the first two have absolute power and control over their own people, while he is still a nominal supernumerary to Ideal Town.
However, humans are always fickle.
So Jiang Qian didn't pay too much attention to this idea.
If Monat hadn't brought it up, he would have been prepared to concentrate on this direction after solving the "side quest".
He believes that the most urgent and important thing is still the "side quest", figuring out the "source of the catastrophe" in order to achieve the goal of unlocking the inventory.
"The End of the Hungry Ghost" is a survival dungeon, and Jiang Qian's goal is not to clear the level perfectly, but to ensure that he and Xue Yang can leave safely, mainly to ensure that Xue Yang can leave safely.
……
"These are troubled times, and strength is more important than ever."
Monat looked at Jiang Qian as if talking to himself:
"If you want to be transformed after all, you must be more assured by familiar people."
But a militiaman sitting behind him showed some complicated looks.
Jiang Qian smiled and said nothing.
"Come on, come on, eat first!"
The dry food that had been prepared by the militia who were waiting in the car was handed to Monat and Jiang Qian in the front row.
Now Jiang Qian's eating state is no longer as exaggerated as it was at the beginning, and his appetite and appetite have tended to be close to that of normal humans.
Several people began to talk while eating.
After mentioning the unexpected "material", the team was immediately faced with a decision: to send the hard-won medicine back to Ideal Town first, or to go directly to the next stop, the psychiatric hospital.
Jiang Qian immediately decided: "I can go to the mental hospital and library alone, and then return to Ideal Town after achieving my goal." You take your things and leave first, and if it goes well, you may be able to eat dinner at home before sunset. ”
After all, I finally picked up a large amount of medicine, and if I lost it, it would be worth the loss.
And Jiang Qian is a super species player, with wings and a body, which is obvious to all.
"Are you sure you'll be back?" Monat's expression was serious, as if he was worried that Jiang Qian would get rid of the burden of Ideal Town.
Jiang Qian smiled: "Of course, my friend is still in Ideal Town." ”
Monat was silent for a moment.
"Okay then." He glanced at the militia in charge of the food, "Prepare more food for Dr. Jiang." ”
"Okay!"
"Thank you."
Monat then spoke from his point of view about the last time he and Elizabeth explored the mental hospital:
Creepers were rampant, and the two of them did not dare to delay much here, so they were limited to the hospital archives, the medicine store, and Dr. Kate's private room.
The genetic source code was a notch found in the corner of Dr. Kate's room.
After the meal, the group parted.
Jiang Qian walked towards the approaching mental hospital without distraction, while Monat and the others turned around and returned to the ideal town.
In the car, the militia who had gone back alone to ask Jiang to sneak into the car was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help revealing the worries in his heart: "You say, why does Dr. Jiang help us?" ”
Monat's eyes were vigilant: "Cooperation, what's wrong?" ”
The militiaman recounted what he had heard and felt in the supermarket, and said: "I always feel that Dr. Jiang's identity, he has such abilities and means, and he is not like a person who can cooperate with us on an equal footing......
The other two militiamen were also silent after hearing this, they had never seen Jiang Qian show his skills so far, and they had heard from the townspeople about Jiang Qian's "strength", so they ignored the "fact" that Jiang Qian was not only powerful, but also cruel.
"They're all 'players', right? He ...... his own kind," the militiaman swallowed, his voice low.
"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Monat suddenly interrupted, "What they were doing at the time, whether there was a conflict or not, is only your imagination. ”
"Uh, this ......"
"Since you haven't figured it out, it's better to be cautious." Monat reminded in a cold voice.
The militiaman choked, his brows downturned, and his expression was calm and he said no more.
The other two militiamen also looked at each other and did not say much.
As the car drove through the quiet streets, Monat's brow tightened.
……
Jiang Qian rode along the street, and the psychiatric hospital arrived not long after.
No hordes of creepers were encountered.
The Lotus City Psychiatric Hospital has been built for a long time, and much of the infrastructure was severely damaged when the cataclysm occurred, and it seems that it was once used as a lair by the creepers, but now there are only large creeper shells left.
The lintel was cold and a mess.
This dilapidated and dirty environment undoubtedly increases the difficulty of exploration.
But Jiang Qian still had enough patience to investigate as planned.
Not only the room where Dr. Kate was living at the time, but any place where the patient might have moved, including the central location that he considered important, he carefully probed the past with a spiritual vision.
Even though much of the infrastructure has been destroyed, some rooms have even been partitioned or buried.
So, in the room where Dr. Kate once lived, he found the gene source code carved into the corner of the wall; In the locked drawer of the dean's office, a strange photo album with Kate's name on it is found: the album contains pictures of Kate and her fellow patients playing various animals; and the secret door to the underground that is connected to the patient's activity room.
This secret door was cleverly hidden, but after observation, Jiang Qian could easily see that this door had been opened recently.
"Could it be that someone got ahead of the game?" Jiang Qian raised the corners of his mouth.
Now that he is almost no longer plagued by hunger, and his ability can be released at any time, he immediately made a decision and went directly to the secret door with the "loot" he had obtained.
