Chapter 62: The protagonist of the game
γRusty Wall District, Su Mo's Houseγ
At breakfast time, Su Mo sat at the table eating a hot dog, chewing and chewing, and felt nauseous in his stomach.
If there is anything he is not used to after crossing, the food definitely occupies the top of the list.
Before the crossing, he came from a country with thousands of years of food heritage, what Dongpo meat, green onion bun juniper, butter cake, Dingsheng cake... I don't have to bring a duplicate meal every week.
And in Crescent City, it was already difficult for low-level people like him to eat those normal foods in their mouths.
The reason is simple: the consular districts of the world government currently occupy only 20% of the world's area, and large areas are not yet under control.
The limited land resources are monopolized by the major capital giants for scientific and technological confrontation.
With little land left for farming, "food" in the traditional sense has become a luxury.
Naturally grown staple foods, garden vegetables, chickens, ducks and fish, as well as those delicacies from the mountains and seas, birds and animals, are extremely expensive, and only the middle class and above can afford to eat.
The people at the bottom only have all kinds of synthetic food produced in the factory.
The potatoes, wheat and rice, which are the staple food of everyone, are all industrial fast-growing varieties with high yields, but the taste is like chewing sawdust.
Vegetables and fruits are all genetically modified cultivation plus ripening agents, and varieties that take a month to mature naturally can be harvested in seven or eight days.
There is meat, too.
But not animal meat.
It's all artificial meat made from plant protein.
The price is cheap, the amount is full, and the taste is good... Don't mention it.
The hot dog that Soumer is eating now is a typical factory food that KK bought from the supermarket.
A bite full of dregs of wheat bread, soft and disgusting artificial meat hot dogs, a few genetically modified lettuce leaves, plus dozens of industrial food additives, the price is 10 yuan.
Su Mo actually gave KK a lot of money so that he wouldn't want to buy this junk food.
But KK was really poor and scared before, and he didn't dare to spend the money in his hand, so he picked and searched for food.
He didn't mean to be poor with Lasumer.
It can be seen from the breakfast that KK bought Su Mo a hot dog, no matter what the raw materials are, at least there are carbs, vegetables, and protein in it, and the nutrition is very comprehensive, and how many people in the border area are rushing to eat it.
And KK's own share is a piece of dry bread without filling.
He had already given what he thought was the best to Sumer.
Su Mo shook his head and put the hot dog that had bitten a few bites on the table: "Whew... I can't eat it anymore. β
KK stared at the leftover hot dog and asked cautiously, "Then I eat it?" β
Su Mo said angrily: "I've bitten it, isn't it dirty?" β
KK grabbed the hot dog and began to gnaw: "How can you think the big brother is dirty~"
Su Mo smiled helplessly: "If you persist for a while, the hard days will come to an end." β
KK ate a hot dog and blinked: "Hard days? It's not bitter, it's a lot better than before! β
Su Mo smiled bitterly, he almost forgot that KK used to live like a mouse, there was no last meal, and it was lucky to be able to eat three meals a day normally.
Now this full meal is really a "fairy life" for him.
After breakfast, Su Mo said to KK, "There is a very important matter for you to do. Remember the name I said, Ou Chenyu. β
"Ou Chenyu..."KK repeated, muttering, "It sounds like a man." β
Su Mo: "Yes, you have been in the border for so long, you should have dealt with many people, and you should find a way to help me inquire about this person's whereabouts." β
KK has been on the streets all year round, and he is very good at inquiring about news, so he immediately agreed: "No problem." What does this person do? β
Sumer: "This is my enemy. β
KK's expression suddenly became serious: "Is he dangerous?" β
Su Mo squinted his eyes and said, "Some things are indescribable. All I can tell you is that the longer this person lives, the more likely I am to die in the future. β
KK was frightened when he heard this: "Then I'll do it immediately!" β
Su Mo raised his hand to signal him not to panic: "Don't be pressured, I won't give you a time limit for this matter." Don't worry, just do it steadily. It's not your business alone, and I'll use my connections to investigate him as well. β
KK: "Okay, got it... What other clues does he have? Physical characteristics, social status, etc. β
Su Mo thought for a while and said, "His name is Ou Chenyu, male, 1.88 meters tall, 96 kilograms in weight, and his eyes are gray. β
"The identity is currently uncertain, it may be a thug on the border, mixed in with the bottom of the "Dead Ashes".
"Probably a mercenary leader who manages a mercenary group called the Toothed Tiger."
"It could also be a civilian of a joint company, a security guard of an iron-blooded consortium, or a technician of the Blackdomain Group...... It could even be a homeless man with nothing. β
KK couldn't help frowning, this identity span is too big, it's simply irregularity and logic.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Anyway, I'll do my best to find out." β
Su Mo: "Well, if you have a clue, you can communicate at any time." β
This "Ou Chenyu" is none other than the official protagonist of the "Dawn" game.
The game of Dawn has a high degree of freedom, and players can greatly influence the development of the story.
You can manipulate the protagonist to overthrow the oppression of the capital giants and create a new world.
It is also possible to join the human elite and trample on the people at the bottom together.
But no matter how the player plays, the game has a main flow and corresponding underlying logic.
In order to complete the game, the protagonist must collect 7 things, one of which is the "Ancestral Blood Code".
In the original plot, at a certain point, Ou Chenyu would start to collect them desperately.
And Su Mo, as the boss "Dr. Chen" who carries the blood code of the ancestor, means that he and Ou Chenyu are irreconcilable rivals.
Either Ou Chenyu kills Su Mo, takes away the ancestral blood code, and continues his path as the "protagonist".
Either Su Mo stepped on Ou Chenyu's corpse and stepped on the top of the dawn.
There may be some other options for coexistence, but Su Mo didn't want to gamble, and he didn't dare to bet.
Because it is beyond his control, and the further he drags it back, the stronger Ou Chenyu will become, and he will continue to lose the initiative.
In the game "Dawn", Ou Chenyu is a bug-like existence, all kinds of talents are in him, and he can be described as a god in the later stage.
Although he has erased the identity of "Dr. Chen" now, what if Ou Chenyu senses the ancestral blood code in his body by some means in the future?
When the time comes, do you have the heart to coexist with him, and does he have the intention to coexist with you?
To gamble on this kind of thing is to play with your life.
Su Mo didn't want to play with his life, he just wanted to be safe.
So the safest thing for him to do is to get rid of Ou Chenyu as soon as possible before he grows up.
And the current priority is to lock Ou Chenyu's information.
The game "Dawn" has a wealth of starting options, and players can freely choose Ou Chenyu's "origin", "initial ability", and "initial equipment".
This also leads to Su Mo's current inability to lock Ou Chenyu's identity, so there will be so many possibilities as KK said.
According to Ou Chenyu's "opening", Su Mo has to face different situations.
If Ou Chenyu was a "street beggar" plus "mortal body" plus "nothing", a high-level game with exclusive hell difficulty, and there was only one bowl on his body except for a fig leaf, Su Mo would really wake up laughing from his dream.
This kind of Ou Chenyu, just find out and collapse with one shot, it's easier than killing a chicken.
But if it's some strong opening combinations, it can get tricky.
Some of the starting combinations of Ou Chenyu even crushed the current Su Mo in all aspects in terms of social status, personal combat power, and equipment level.
Therefore, it is necessary to determine what kind of "start" Ou Chenyu is in order to formulate a plan to deal with him.
Su Mo looked at the calendar, it was August 12th, and there was still a month left before the "start".
It may seem like a long time, but there's not much left...
