I'm afraid there are very few people who haven't imagined how great it would be if they could experience a wonderful adventure like the one in the story. No matter how wonderful a story is, it has already been written, and things on paper cannot be changed just by changing them.
Is there any way to let people participate in the story? The answer is yes, that is games. What I am talking about is not the cold and limited things written by programs, but something older and more imaginative.
Classics of Force: Tabletop Role Playing.
After all, a game that has been made has program limits, but human imagination has no boundaries. When multiple people gather, the imagination will change exponentially and be superimposed. With this kind of imagination, everyone can
The games you participated in have made countless people feel the fun. Use pen and paper to construct a character in your mind, then play it, make the actions you want, and advance the adventure...
But if everything goes as expected, wouldn't it be too boring? Moreover, even the most powerful hero may fail, and a rookie may also create miracles - in order to increase the uncertainty of the game, this game has added randomness
Sex, dice. Aliens like twenty-sided dice are typical representatives of this game: assuming a character has a high probability of success in doing something, then the player only needs a small number to make him succeed, and vice versa.
But no matter what, the possibility of failure always exists: when a person rolls a "1", this action will fail unconditionally and lead to serious consequences, that is, a big failure. And there is always bullshit luck in it, "20
", can make an impossible miracle happen no matter what, that is, a great success.

"Remember when I said that the sum of the two tails of a die is 21?" Jiang Shao played with the toy in his hand and raised the corners of his mouth, "This design is very interesting, isn't it." Hodel shrugged, "
I also understand this stuff, doesn't it mean that God written backwards means dog?" This actually made Jiang Yan a little surprised, "Oh, you are right, that's the truth." While talking, the two of them drove slowly.
Leaving the city, Hodel continued to ask, "I understand what you are saying. The game is indeed quite interesting, but what is the meaning of this dice?"
"...Destiny." Jiang Yan looked out the window, "Just like the people in the story never see the dice, we can't see the fate. What's interesting is that people are always saying similar things to me recently, and at this juncture
,'destiny' has been handed over to my hands." To be honest, this feeling of being out of control made Jiang Yan feel very uncomfortable. Hodel curled his lips and said, "What, you still believe this?" He didn't.
Looking back at Jiang Yan's doubtful eyes, he held the steering wheel and looked ahead, "I wouldn't even take a glance at something as intangible as fate, even if it were in front of me. What's the use of something that I can't interfere with? Tu Zeng
Worry, I’m not a hero who saves the world, I might as well think more about what to eat next.”
"...That's right." Jiang Yan laughed calmly. Maybe taking it one step at a time is the best way now. Hasn't it been like this since he came to Terra? From the perspective of a time traveler
, he now fully agrees with Hodel's words, which can almost be regarded as a philosophy of life. "We are just small people, don't think so much - go to the coast, find an open place, don't be too open, we still have to think about it
The problem of running away.”
The two of them chatted for a while, and after a while, they came to a slightly steep cliff. A small hill stood on the coast, and it was smoothed out by the accumulated power of nature.
The cliff below is a beach covered with fine sand and gravel. It is still summer, but the trees on this mountain are not worth mentioning. The trees and grass are all decayed as they should be. Only a few activists are still standing, but
It's not much higher than a stone.
Although there were few bunkers, it was better than nothing. Jiang Yan and Hodel closed the car door and hiked up the mountain to the edge of the cliff. Jiang Yan used the sun to identify their direction.
"Well, that's where the ship lost contact."
Hodel looked over there for a while, "I can't even see a bird."
"Nonsense, it was blown up a long time ago. Although I have asked you once, did you have any information about that organization or that woman during the trip?"
Hodel looked at the sea in the distance - there was no strong wind today, and the sea seemed a little calm. "You know, that ship was torn open with a big hole." Jiang Yan nodded, "I know, this is also the main reason why it sank in the end.
"However, after she opened the hole, the ship did not suffer any secondary damage, and it took enough time for most people to escape."
This is indeed a very confusing thing. "So, Badr left time for the passengers on the ship? What happened to the subsequent explosion?"
Hodel frowned and thought for a while, "I think that was a real boiler failure, which was made worse by the chaotic crew's random operations. I don't think that woman was interested in explosions or killing civilians." Indeed, this
That makes sense - such a proud person would not be willing to waste his time on what she sees as an ant.
Jiang Yan squatted next to Hodel and supported his chin, "So, in other words, she is still rational." Although this was completely his wishful thinking, "For those who are still rational, there is negotiation."
Maybe - do we have any bargaining chips that we can use to negotiate?"
Hodel looked at Jiang Yan and rolled his eyes, "Yes, she wants both of our lives."
"You are such a fucking little genius. The negotiations broke down and you are ready to attack."
"...Hiss, that's not right." Hodel scratched his stubble and sat down casually, "She wants my life, but what she wants is yours." These words inexplicably frightened Jiang Yan.
His heart went crazy, "What do you mean by someone who wants me? I am a very serious person!" Hodel took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit one. Watching the blue mist slowly drifting away, he said:
"Every time she attacks me, she does it within the range of her power that she thinks can kill me. She doesn't kill me and then increases the intensity. This is intensifying. As for you, her actions are indeed to kill you.
She sees what you are doing next and then increases the intensity, which is a gradual process."
Having said this, Hodel seemed to have remembered something, and turned to Jiang Shao and asked, "I remember you said when you were eating just now that you have lost your memory?" Jiang Shao was listening to Hodel's reasoning and was thinking about it when he heard this sentence,
He casually replied, "Yeah, what's wrong?" Hodel narrowed his eyes and recalled, "Then that Badr, she said she knew you, right?"
"……What do you mean?"
"I'm wondering if you have some unknown romantic debt."
This is true. If Jiang Yan didn't have a beard, he would really blow it off, but he can at least stare now, "Look at me, look into my eyes and tell me, do I look like a person with such a sperm on his head?"
, are you okay with provoking a crazy woman?"
Hodel laughed and said, "I'm just going to ask you something casually. You have lost your memory for so many years and no relatives have come to see you?" Seeing Jiang Shao shaking his head, he continued, "I said, you
Could it be that he is an orphan?"
The word "orphan" has its own unique derision in the Chinese context. No matter why Hodel said this, Jiang Yan was already planning to draw his gun.
Hodel was also a decent man during his lifetime, maybe.
Just when Jiang Yan's face darkened, Hodel said quietly: "I'm thinking about a question.
"You kid, you didn't come from time travel, did you?"
