Jason was stunned. The scene in front of him was beyond Jason's expectation.
In his mind, the inside and outside the court are two insulators, isolated.
There should be no other existence except watching the live broadcast.
But the scene before him told Jason that he lacked knowledge of the world in front of him.
After quickly adjusting his mentality, Jason calmed down immediately.
At the same time, Jason also made a decision.
Give help!
Not only because of the calm behavior of Jia Lun in front of him, Jason admired it, but more importantly, because Jason wanted to have a more thorough understanding of this 'game' and the world through this 'help'.
Compared with those reckless temptations, the current method of spending 1 point is undoubtedly a good opportunity.
I glanced at the 59 points remaining.
Jason selected 'Yes' on the screen.
He looked at the screen expectantly, spent 1 point and was given a lighter. What would this 'lighter' be?
The name of a certain firearm?
Or something more special?
besides!
The most important point is, how should this ‘lighter’ be delivered to Jialun?
With all kinds of guesses, Jason was once again stunned when he saw clearly what was happening on the screen.
…
The suffocation caused by lack of oxygen made Jialun feel dizzy.
He felt death approaching.
Is he going to die?
Is this the end of everything?
Sorry, Mom.
I lost...
Um?!
Just when Jialun was about to lose his will to survive, he suddenly noticed that the grass in front of him turned over, and a lighter appeared there.
It is the most common disposable lighter.
The whole thing is colored, but remains transparent, and is filled with air. When you press it, it will make a "pop" sound, and flames will appear.
Jialun, who once worked in a convenience store, is very familiar with this kind of lighter.
It is usually placed in front of the cashier of convenience stores, corresponding to the cigarettes behind the cashier, so that cigarette buyers can basically see it at a glance.
Hallucination?
Jialun couldn't help but think about it, but his survival instinct still made him reach out his hand.
When his finger touched the lighter, Jialun's face showed an uncontrollable expression of ecstasy.
real!
Not an illusion!
I can survive!
Jialun thought in his heart and grabbed the lighter tightly.
Then……
He pointed the lighter at the thick arm around his neck.
Snap!
After a crisp sound, flames emerged from the lighter cavity.
The hair on the attacker's arms was burned completely bald.
A burning smell filled the air.
"ah!"
Amidst the rapid shouting, the other party let go of Jialun under the sudden pain.
Huh, huh.
Jialun breathed heavily.
Fresh air rushed into the lungs.
His physical discomfort quickly disappeared.
And this scene made the 'audience' explode.
"What's going on?"
"How could there be a lighter?"
"Cheating!"
"Someone cheated!"
Many barrages appeared, but more barrages appeared immediately.
"Are the people above all primary school students?"
"You probably haven't watched any games other than the 'preliminaries', right?"
“You don’t even know about ‘rewards’!”
"Yeah, a bunch of people who don't know anything are shouting here."
"They are actually quite good. At least in order to attract them, the organizer of the 'game' has made this year's 'preliminary round' free, although it is only a regional-level 'preliminary round'."
"No matter what elementary school student you are, I just want to know how much the rich man spent just now. The reward amount for this kind of 'life-saving prop' should not be low, right? Is it 1,000 yuan?"
"Xiao Bai upstairs, this kind of 'life-saving prop' is worth 10,000+ even if it is a 'preliminary round'."
…
Just an ordinary lighter?
Jason watched Jialun break free from his restraints, and then he was attracted by the barrage flowing through like water.
Looking at these barrages, Jason frowned.
‘Life-saving tool’!
‘Reward’!
He quickly locked on to these two words.
Then, his eyes scanned the barrages.
Jason searched for valuable information from these fragmented messages.
Soon, complete information appeared in Jason's mind.
"The 'Preliminaries' of 'Crazy Game' are free and open to everyone, but in previous years, you had to start spending money to watch the 'Preliminaries'. Similarly, compared with the monotonous 'Preliminaries', the rules of the 'Preliminaries' have become more
Enriched, the 'audience' can also join in and use their own 'money' to change the situation they don't want to see."
Jason's brows furrowed even more.
This is naturally a good thing for the ‘audience’.
You can see more exciting ‘games’.
But for the participants, it is really fatal!
This is true whether you are an 'escapist' or a 'violator'!
Because your careful preparation may be reversed by a ‘reward’.
Then, such a reversal will most likely cost you your life.
besides!
And the way that lighter appeared just now.
"Not only are there 'machines' hidden under the walls of the apartment where I live, but are there also similar hidden things inside the competition venue?"
Jason murmured in his heart, but he felt relieved immediately.
Since he can have such a layout in the apartment where he lives, then the competition venue must also have a similar layout.
If not, that is something more worthy of vigilance.
However, in this case, he needs to be more careful.
There are too many secrets in him.
Regardless of his origins or his talent.
They cannot be exposed no matter what.
Once exposed...
That was really a big crisis.
Thinking of this, Jason picked up the nutritious meal that had just been delivered, and then pressed the 'Nutritional Meal (Free)' button on the handheld computer.
bite!
With the crisp ringing of the bell, another free meal began to be prepared.
Jason just sat cross-legged in front of the TV, watching Jialun's game, and at the same time clicked the 'Lifestyle' button on the handheld computer again.
This time he didn't pay attention to anyone else out of curiosity.
Instead, I chose the ‘Books’ category.
"Area F - A Country Built on Ruins" (5 points)
"The Initial Birth of 'Crazy Game'" (2 points)
"How to participate in the 'Crazy Game' correctly" (Escaper version: 10 points)
"How to participate in the 'Crazy Game' correctly" (Sadr version: 20 points)
…
Different from the previous options, there is no price fluctuation, it is all direct pricing.
And the price?
Not cheap.
According to Jason's current understanding, the purchasing power of each point is quite strong.
If you follow what is said on the barrage, the currency that can be exchanged for 1 point is at least 10,000+.
"Is knowledge expensive?"
Jason commented in his heart, and then redeemed "Zone F - A Country Built on Ruins" and "The Initial Birth of 'Crazy Game'".
Although the price is high, it is indispensable for Jason who needs to understand the dungeon world he is in.
Of course, Jason also understands the same truth.
The ‘truth’ in the books that can appear here can be imagined.
But, the basics should be true.
In other words, it is ‘common sense that ordinary people know’.
As for more?
Then more confirmation and research are needed.
However, for Jason, enough is enough at this stage.
Click!
The sound transmitted mechanically is weak but clear.
Soon, the floor beside Jason rose.
After protruding 50 centimeters from the ground, two books are revealed on the next floor.
Then it was held by a small mechanical arm and handed to Jason.
When Jason took the book, the robotic arm retracted and the floor returned to its original state.
The soft book cover does not have too many decorations, nor does it have the book number that Jason is familiar with. It is just two books with names written on them, simple but practical.
"In-house printing?"
Jason's lips curled up as he had expected this.
He began to open the book.
In fact, for the next period of time, Jason just sat on the floor, flipping through the two books in his hands, watching TV, and eating a 'nutritious meal'.
Inexplicably, at this time, he thought of Denise.
When Denise reads, she likes to eat and read at the same time, and also likes to lean on the sofa.
It would be great if there was a sofa!
Jason thought so, but did not act.
A comfortable environment will only make him relax his vigilance.
It's not about penance.
only……
I just don't want to die accidentally.
Some people may say that 'relaxing' once or twice is nothing.
But any 'degeneration' begins with one or two 'relaxations'.
People are far less resilient than they think.
They will fall due to various temptations.
They may even be tempted into bad habits due to various temptations.
The first and most obvious one is ‘laziness’.
When laziness appears, it is really the beginning of disaster. It not only erodes a person's ambition, but also makes a person's will sink.
Jason has seen too many examples of "depravity" in the "city that never sleeps".
A 'lone traveler' who was wandering around suddenly became rich because of an 'unexpected fortune', and was immersed in the sensuality. By the time the other party came to his senses, his body had already become sluggish, and his will had become even more dull.
cowardly.
Don’t talk about being a ‘lone traveler’ again.
You can't survive even in the 'safe zone'.
Jason didn't want to be that person.
He wants to live longer.
I want to live more like a human being.
"Remember the pain of this time."
"It proves you are alive."
"Although the process is not beautiful, the result is what you want."
Jason stood firm in his beliefs.
Soon, the whole room was filled with the sound of the TV, the turning of pages and chewing.
At first, Jason paid a little attention to the live broadcast on TV.
But soon, he was attracted by the contents of the book.
The palm of his hand mechanically grasped the 'nutritious meal' and put it into his mouth, while his eyes stared directly at the content of the page——
Area F, once called the 'Kingdom of Rogo', was a very wealthy kingdom before the establishment of the Grand Federation. Relying on port trade and its own seafood, the citizens of the Kingdom of Rogo were quite wealthy.
The wealth at each person's disposal is beyond the reach of other kingdoms.
However, a 'rebellion' changed everything.
Rogo XIII was killed by his uncle in the council hall.
The head was hung outside the palace.
And this 'Kingslayer' was killed by the younger brother of Rogo XIII before he even put on the crown.
A team of one hundred people, led by this 'King of Diligence', broke through the blockade of the army and carried out the beheading plan.
Everyone thought this 'turmoil' was over.
But when the 'King of Diligence' became the 'King', a terrible disaster struck.
die!
Everyone in the entire kingdom began to die one after another.
No warning!
One moment they were chatting and laughing, and the next moment they were dead.
This is true whether you are a man, a woman, a child, or an elderly person.
No matter you are a commoner or a high-ranking official, no one can escape.
The 'new king' immediately ordered an investigation.
But to no avail.
Doctors can't find the reason.
The soldiers could not find the culprit.
All there is is death.
People died in pieces, just like the wind blowing the waves of wheat, and the wheat was cut by a sharp knife, and they all fell down.
'I'm not wrong! It's the world that's wrong!'
After the 'new king' shouted these words, just like his subjects, he died silently.
Countries around the world have blocked all entry and exit points to the 'Kingdom of Rogo'.
It wasn't opened until half a year later.
At this time, no one in the 'Rogo Kingdom' died.
Everyone is dead.
Even livestock, animals, and plants are no exception.
There is no life left.
Tall buildings collapsed and the ground cracked.
It's totally a doomsday scene.
Jason looked at the illustrations in the book with thoughts in his eyes.
what happened?
plague?
still……
Some kind of ritual?
The possibility of a plague is not very high. With the medical level of the 'Kingdom of Rogo' at that time being at the forefront of the world, if a plague occurs here, it is impossible for other countries to be fine.
What if it's a ceremony?
The entire kingdom was sacrificed?
Such a big deal, why?
Jason thought to himself as he flipped through the second half of the book.
But after just reading a few pages, Jason completely lost interest.
What follows is all speculation by the author himself and various people.
Jason scanned and found no one that was reliable.
What is mass suicide?
Although mass suicide exists, does it mean that all the people in the entire kingdom, with a population of more than 100 million, commit suicide?
Could it be that the snap of the fingers was so loud that it reached here?
What a joke!
"What happened?"
Jason thought about it, put down "Zone F - The Kingdom Built on the Ruins" in his hand, and picked up "The Initial Birth of 'Crazy Game'".
Compared with the thickness and large number of pages of "Area F - A Country Built on Ruins", "The Initial Birth of 'Crazy Game'" is much thinner, with less than a hundred pages, and most of them are illustrations, with each illustration accompanied by a few
In a word, Jason always feels like he has been deceived - when he was in his hometown, Jason was deceived more than once by books with beautiful packaging, attractive titles, and empty contents.
He doesn't know when he started to publish books by taking random selfies and excerpting them.
Maybe...the author is good-looking?
It’s really God’s blessing.
Jason expressed envy and hatred back then.
However, the author of this book "The Initial Birth of 'Crazy Game'" is definitely not good-looking.
On the contrary, the other party looks fierce and vicious.
The main characters in the book are also similar.
Because they are a group of villains, perverts, and killers.
They created 'The Hunt', the precursor to 'Crazy Game'.
Basically, a few of them kidnapped a few ordinary people, threw them into a forest called a "hunting ground", and then conducted a three-day hunting operation.
Why three days and not longer?
Because these people may work and also need to earn money to support their families.
Normally, they are normal people.
Even when they were sent to the electric chair, some people did not believe that they had killed more than a hundred people because of "hunting".
And the key person who sent them to the 'electric chair' was their former target: a serial killer who was more perverted and more terrifying than them.
Compared to their ferocious looks.
But this one was gentle and gentle, and with his so-called 'wife', he seemed to have broken into their hunting ground without any notice.
A competition of who is more evil begins.
The result is of course needless to say.
The gentle one won the day.
But such a victory did not prevent the opponent from also being sent to the electric chair.
In the second year after the death of these people, a wealthy man learned about such a thing, and he began to hold "hunting" competitions in a "regular" way. Such novel activities attracted many people to join.
As more and more people join.
‘Hunting’ has officially been renamed ‘Crazy Game’.
Then, it began to spread across the entire federation.
Jason flipped through the illustrations again. Many of the pictures were so bloody that they required mosaics to appear, but in this book they appeared directly.
However, to Jason, it was nothing.
After looking through it again and confirming that there was nothing, Jason clicked the 'Nutritional Meal (Free)' button again.
bite!
The beautiful voice sounded again.
Jason started to look at the live TV.
At this time, the winner of the 'Escaper' appeared.
Two people.
One is a young man named ‘Ur’.
The other one is Jialun.
Karen survived.
After receiving Jason's 'reward', this young man who had just been on the verge of death began to show impressive fighting power, caution, and... luck.
After finding a rusty logging ax in a dilapidated house, the young man began his own killing spree.
The opponent transformed into a real lumberjack and began to cut his own way out with axe.
After winning the victory, Jialun looked dull at first, then threw away his ax and began to cry uncontrollably.
seem……
Lost the most important thing.
This made the 'audiences' watching the live broadcast laugh again and again.
After all, that 'Ur' has a calm face, which is even more admirable.
Especially after the emergence of a "crying bag" like Jialun.
After Jason glanced at it, he stopped paying attention.
Not only because he saw through the cowardly disguise of the so-called 'Ur', but also because his 'nutritional meal' arrived.
Of course, what's more important is that in Jason's perception, a person is walking towards his door from outside.
Not the self-proclaimed ‘contactee’ Persson.
The steps should be a little heavier.
Thinking about some of the information in the book he just read, Jason's lips curled up slightly.
