Annan was sitting in a spacious subway car, reading books intently. Zhuoya sat beside him and served him food and water in time.
Zolgen, the "little finger of the left hand," sat securely behind Annan, closing his eyes slightly - this was to prevent his sharp gaze from alarming Annan, and also to maximize his use of perception to detect the surrounding environment.
As for the three players of Citalopram, Si Anqi and Wandering Child, they are on the other side of the subway. The two men are lying on their stomachs, while Citalopram is leaning on the innermost side and squinting his eyes slightly.
"These people are too lazy."
Zhuo Ya said dissatisfiedly in Annan's ear.
Although Annan can completely trust them, Zoya is still wary of them. In a narrow and difficult-to-dodge environment like a subway car, it is hard to believe that the player has the reflexes to defend Annan from assassins.
...So Annan knew what Zhuo Ya said, and it was indeed okay.
Let the players attack, assassinate, plunder, and liquidate. They can complete such tasks very smoothly.
But if they are asked to escort someone over a long distance, transport supplies, always be alert to incoming enemies, or keep vigil at night, they will not have that level of concentration.
Even if the body is not tired, the mind will be.
not to mention.
Annan can be seen from the background... These three people look like they are sleeping, but in fact they have used the forum to connect their mobile phones on the earth. They are watching videos, catching up on dramas, reading novels, and occasionally cleaning their bodies.
——Annan seems to be studying seriously, but in fact he is also watching TV series through Citalopram's eyes.
Whenever this happens, Annan feels happy - it is indeed a good thing to give players the permission to "use their brains to connect to the Internet on their mobile phones".
This ability can be used even outside.
In fact, this has made it easier for the few students to do their homework and take exams. It can be regarded as one of the compensations given by Annan for them to devote their energy to this world. Another compensation is the real-time monitoring of body status scan reminders, which can be used first
Time sweeps away almost all physical illnesses, mainly to prevent them from dying suddenly.
As the collection of the Book of Heavenly Cars deepens, Annan's control over the players also increases.
He suspected that after he collected all the items, he could even directly help players heal their external bodies... After all, they could be scanned, so there was no reason why they couldn't be treated.
...And the other side of this function is that Annan finally regained his ability to access the Internet.
Although it is not perfect - Annan still cannot actively intervene in the network of that world, but his vision has transcended this world.
Even if the players return to Earth, Annan can still see the world through their eyes. In this way, Annan can still be used for a while... whether it is a game, animation, movie, novel, or TV series, it can be used for a while.
This effectively complements Annan's entertainment options.
It just feels a little subtle... It's like when you're riding a high-speed train and you see the person next to you or the person in the front seat playing with their mobile phones, you quietly lean your head over to take a peek.
...Fortunately, players can't feel Annan's gaze.
"This group of people..."
Zhuo Ya whispered dissatisfiedly: "I staggered around and slept in a car in broad daylight... If Your Majesty hadn't trusted these Dream World people enough, I would not have allowed them to travel with us."
"Don't worry, Zoya. They are all very reliable."
Annan raised his head and chuckled: "Even if they die in front of me a hundred times, they will never escape."
"After all, it is a creature from the dream world. If it cannot die, of course it will not be afraid of it."
Zhuo Ya nodded and added: "I just think that they are not suitable for the delicate work of escorting important people to negotiate far away. It might be better to throw them into the army or let them carry out assassination missions.
Use it a lot.”
Hear this.
Citalopram, who was watching the show next to him, had his eyelids twitching slightly and pressed pause. Apparently he wanted to hear more about Annan’s comments about the players.
And Annan noticed it immediately.
But Annan didn't need to say anything nice, it was enough to tell the truth.
"——Yes, indeed."
Annan nodded in agreement and whispered: "They have courage but lack patience, wisdom but lack of care, sense of justice but lack of compassion. I know all these things, and they understand them better than you."
"But my duty is to take advantage of people's strengths and make up for their shortcomings. This is what I, as a ruler, have to do. Forcing people to do things that are impossible? It's not realistic, and it's not efficient enough. That's just
It's just an arrogance to belittle the dignity of others.
"They are all talented people. If they fail to fully utilize their unique abilities? It will be my responsibility to tap out everyone's strengths..."
Players are undoubtedly sharp swords.
But it does not mean that the sword is sharp enough to be invincible in a hundred battles - how to understand this sword and how to use this sword is also a science.
Is it a fool to try to block a heavy ax with a thin sword? It is also unwise to charge at a person with a short sword and a spear. Is that disrespect for the sword? It is also disrespect for the IQ...
There is no doubt that players are not suitable for all types of work.
After all, people's energy and interests are limited, and time is fixed.
Labor can be recruited for low-level manual work, and designers can be used for design work. To wage war, mercenaries are needed? They are experts in war and know how to win? It is not just about destroying the opponent.
How to use each player's unique abilities is like placing different chess pieces in their proper positions...this is also what the "players" have to do.
From this point of view, Annan himself is also a player.
It's just that those players are playing MMORPG, while Annan is playing strategic role-playing - that is, war chess games.
This time Annan called Si Anke and the wandering children, just to let them cause destruction at any time. And brought citalopram? On the one hand, it was for her healing ability, and on the other hand, Annan had received new information.
Information... The Pale Princess is now staying in Wrangel Province.
It would be beneficial to both Citalopran and Annan to bring the Half-Dead Daughter with them.
——It is possible that new plot lines will be born.
As a former planner? Annan knows the habits of players very well.
It would be better for him to make the target as close as possible and shorten it so that players can complete each stage of the task quickly to obtain rewards? This can make up for players' lack of patience and concentration.
He also needs to clarify the mission objectives. He must clearly tell the players, what are the tactical objectives they should achieve? What taboos cannot be violated, and what additional objectives can be completed to obtain additional points? This will focus the players' wisdom.
Get up? In case they don’t know how to start.
Since the players lack empathy and compassion for the indigenous people, then simply let them become a force of justice - let them restrain themselves with a lofty sense of mission, the expectations and admiration of others, and let the players supervise the players.
.
——If you want it, I will give it to you. If you find it troublesome and think you can't do it well, I won't let you do it. If you do it, you will be rewarded... Everyone getting what they need is the long-term solution.
Annan is not the kind of planner who feeds shit. Now no one has limited the amount of benefits for him and stipulated the expected profit amount.
His innate ability to penetrate people's minds is not just for scaring people. This ability is used to unite others and lead others——
This is the proper use of this talent.
If you want to be a qualified chess player, if you want to place each player in a different position reasonably...then as a player, Annan should also treat himself equally.
——He should also put "Annan Winter" in the correct position.
