The small commotion caused by the anonymous concern area made the farmers not really start working in the fields until five o'clock in the morning.
Although it has been less than 24 hours since entering this game, every farmer has quickly adapted to this new form of life: when you open your eyes, it is time to work, otherwise every minute of wasted time may mean the future.
Hungry.
To be honest, the days when I didn't have to work for more than ten hours but still have food to eat are so far away and unrealistic when I think about it now.
"Sister, please think about it." When Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and continued plowing, Ji Shanqing's voice still echoed in her mind - "If he must be kept alive, my idea will not be implemented.
"
She also didn't expect that the reason why Han Suiping was given up on the gift bag was basically the same as the thoughts in the anonymous forum, both because they couldn't feed so many people. When she retorted that three food balls could be evenly distributed, the gift bag
Sighed.
"Sister," he had already shown signs of weakness before entering the game. After a day of exhausting farm work, his complexion seemed to be almost transparent at this moment, and he looked somewhat similar to the ghostly Yuan Xiangxi.
"We can indeed afford to only give him three pills every day. But the problem is that doing so is tantamount to helping the game consolidate its rules..."
"I don't understand." Lin Sanjiu whispered.
"The way to clear the game is to find the exit. Yesterday's search has confirmed that the exit is not as simple as hiding in a corner, and we need to focus more on finding the exit."
When Ji Shanqing said this, he looked around and saw other people farming and resting. He lowered his voice and said, "But where do we spend most of our energy? On calculating output, taxes, and who eats."
The question of who has more and who eats less is a question. As we supplement less and less and consume more and more, our energy will become worse and worse...the less energy we have, the more we can only think about tomorrow's rations.
.In other words, the current situation is carefully designed so that we can only think about the present and have no time to think about other things."
Even though it had only been a day, Lin Sanjiu felt it. In order to maintain the current need to survive, she had already exhausted all her energy. All she could think about was "how many food balls can be produced today to ensure that everyone does not die tomorrow" - even if it is just
Even the day after tomorrow made her feel too tired to think.
"We can only struggle on the line of survival every day, and naturally we don't have any energy to do what we need to do." Ji Shanqing shook his head and said: "Even one more food ball will take us one step away from the line of survival.
It reduces the time we have to struggle a little... Only in this way can we do the really important thing, which is to find an exit. If we can't get out, Han Suiping will eventually die because he has no job, and it will just be a waste of our food.
."
What he said was correct, but Lin Sanjiu couldn't calm down.
"Then we have to sacrifice Han Suiping?" she asked, "take his life in exchange for our survival?"
Of course Ji Shanqing also knew that she was absolutely unwilling to give up the life of any of her companions - so he proposed a solution to death.
"I can read his data." Judging from the expression on the gift bag, it was obviously difficult for him to emotionally understand the impact of these words on human beings: "I have saved his data and will look for it after we go out.
He is 'written' in a place. For him, it is the difference between one second and the next, and he can't feel anything."
Where is the original Han Suiping?
"He will die in this room."
So, is the Han Suiping who was programmed outside this room still the same person?
Yes, Lin Sanjiu understands that the cells, fibers, thoughts, and memories of the other "self" written by the gift package are the same as the original sample. This is not the same as cloning; if when reading the data,
The original sample thought "I want to go to eat tonight", and then died. When this set of data is written out of the entity again, he will continue to think "that restaurant seems to be closed" - for him, the middle
There won't be any pause.
But even so, will the original Han Suiping, the Han Suiping who struggled, laughed, sweated and shed tears with her in the modern world, die forever?
"Letting him die is the first step." Ji Shanqing finally concluded, "My plan must be implemented on this basis."
Lin Sanjiu worked in silence for more than half an hour, until a new thought appeared in the anonymous worry area, and she temporarily suppressed this unanswered question.
"What happens to his job if someone dies?" This line of text hangs brightly on the wall.
Everyone looked at the words on the wall for a while, their eyes passing over each other, as if inadvertently without stopping. Compared with the malicious intention directed at Han Suiping just now, this thought was closer to questioning the rules of the game; but it made everyone's relationship
The atmosphere is getting weirder and weirder, as if everyone now wants to be further away from everyone else.
"I never thought about it," Nuyue shrugged and said. "When a person dies, the things in the backpack will not die with him, so someone else should be able to take his place, right?"
She broke her hoe just now, but she never asked Lu Hua to repair it. It happened that clumps of green seedlings had grown in Nuyue's farmland, and it had entered a stage where the hoe was temporarily unused. Lu Hua didn't mention it when he saw her.
, he himself did not take the initiative to ask, and the two of them rarely even looked at each other. Occasionally, Lu Hua would whisper a few words to someone, and the person would usually be Horst or Jiansheng.
"We won't know until someone dies." Lin Sanjiu said, hoping to draw their attention away from the wall, "There is no need to think about this now."
The writing on the wall changed immediately. It was not responding to her, but seemed to be responding to a previous thought.
"I think it depends on who dies. If a non-farmer dies, that person's work should be distributed among everyone. For example, Lu Hua, her work only takes a few minutes, a day
I have nothing to do until night... It doesn’t make any difference if one person takes on two roles.”
Lu Hua's face suddenly turned red, and his angry eyes immediately focused on Nuyue.
Nuyue looked back at her coldly and said, "This is not what I had in mind."
Lin Sanjiu's ears were buzzing; when Lu Hua was about to open her mouth, she shouted in a hoarse voice: "Don't quarrel over invisible things! Just keep doing what you are supposed to do, Nuyue farming, Lu Hua, you
Go search for the exit."
"We have all searched, but there is no place in this room that can be opened. It will be in vain to search again." Jian Sheng sat next to Lu Hua and said.
"Then just rest." Lin Sanjiu blocked his mouth with one sentence. She had no intention of listening to his complaints now.
...The worry just now was hers.
That was not a very clear thought that had been circulating in her mind for a long time; as one of hundreds of chaotic thoughts, that thought passed through her heart so fast that she didn't even realize it.
Its existence - it wasn't until it was caught in the mind area and illuminated on the wall that Lin Sanjiu recognized that it was his own mind.
Facing this kind of game, everyone will inevitably have similar thoughts; she understood this truth, but she still felt uncomfortable.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Not far away, Jian Sheng was comforting Lu Hua in a low voice: "...That's right, we have all proven our contribution, you don't need to take it to heart."
"If it weren't for us non-peasants," Lu Hua said angrily, "who would have searched the entire room?"
A rift seems to have been opened between farmers and non-farmers.
"Then what are you going to do next?" Host and them are both newcomers, so they are relatively easy to talk to.
After Jian Sheng and Lu Hua heard this, they involuntarily turned their heads to look at the other side of the room - along with others, they also looked over.
"Inspector," Lu Hua asked loudly, "what do you think we should do better next?"
This early morning was so chaotic that Lin Sanjiu almost forgot that Sibaan had not spoken. Coincidentally, Sibaan, who was originally blocked, happened to reappear when Lu Hua was asking questions.
It was revealed - he actually seemed to have just woken up.
The backpack and blanket were rolled up and propped against the corner; he was half-leaning on them, his eyes behind his messy blond hair hanging down, still sleepy. "...What?"
Jian Sheng quickly repeated it. He was embarrassed for no reason yesterday. Although he was unhappy at the time, he seemed to have forgotten it. "I'm sorry, I disturbed you to sleep." He even apologized, "But
, we all want to know what you think?"
Lin Sanjiu said that Sibaan didn't look at it at all. He hadn't moved since yesterday evening. He didn't know what to plan. He didn't even look for the exit anymore and had been resting comfortably until now. Thinking of this
, she glanced at the anonymous worry area subconsciously.
She originally thought that she would see complaints against Siba'an - after all, he was the only one besides Han Suiping who was holding food balls but doing nothing - but in her worried area, there was
Not even a single protest.
"...Let me think about it." Sibaan lazily bent his knees and said.
"Okay," Jian Sheng nodded, "Whenever you need to replenish the food balls, just tell me and I will collect the tax, so that I can bring you another ration by the way."
The walls are still empty.
Lin Sanjiu had a close relationship with Si Baan, so there was no misunderstanding; but other people were also very understanding of him, so she was a little confused. When the farmers harvested two more food balls, Si Baan
Ba'an still said nothing, except to rest, just rest - again, no one complained, no one urged.
During this period, Nuyue had to go to Lu Hua to repair the farm tools once. Because Lin Sanjiu persuaded him in every possible way, the latter reluctantly only charged the price of two food balls even with a straight face. In this way, Nuyue today
The two hours in the morning can be regarded as wasted work.
When Johnson stood up to collect taxes, Hoster opened his mouth hesitantly.
"Can everyone hand over their own?" He scratched his face and asked without looking at anyone. "I don't have any objection if you want to save Han Suiping. Just give him your own food balls. But I just
These few food balls are hard-earned, so they force me to hand them over and bear the loss together... I think this is unfair."
After a pause, he added: "I think the thought on the wall is right. The so-called survival of the fittest. If you can't adapt to the situation and survive, it's not a reason to let others support you unconditionally... If I have the same
On the day when the fittest are eliminated, I won’t blame you, okay?”
Han Suiping moved slightly at this moment - when Lin Sanjiu glanced at him, she found that he had already opened his eyes at some point.
