Chapter 1911 Limited Experience, Skillful Coping
"How many people have I dealt with?"
"One thousand four hundred and twenty-eight, four hundred and twenty-nine, four hundred and thirty..."
"What, I thought I got at least a third of it..."
"In a way, you've done about one-third of the work in Midtown, Master Sean."
"And Midtown is just a part of Manhattan that hasn't completely sunk, so Manhattan is the least populated area in New York right now, right?"
Having such a meaningless conversation, Zhou Shang couldn't help rolling his eyes. He felt that he seemed to have overestimated his ability a bit, and the base figure of 300,000 was indeed too large for him. Only one-thirtieth of the 300,000 has just been completed, and looking at the sky, he probably won't be able to make it back in time before dawn.
This is the rhythm of the end. Zhou Shang hesitated in his heart, of course he knew what would happen to him playing missing. But at this time, if you let him just let it go, he will be completely unable to do it.
This is not playing games. You can save a file and sleep peacefully, and then go online and read a file to continue smoothly. People are going to die in the process, and the person who died is not alone. It would be fine if Zhou Shang hadn't decided to participate in it at the beginning. Although he would feel unbearable, he would not associate the deaths of these people with himself. But now, the situation is different.
Zhou Shang, who made up his mind to stop the chaos in front of him, spontaneously connected the life and death of these people with himself. And if any innocent person died because of his slack, he would feel guilty as a matter of course.
This is bad, at least for him it is worse than the blame from the elders in the family. So without much hesitation, he made a choice and continued what he was doing.
"If someone asks me, just say you don't know. Do me another favor, Medusa. Help me make an icon like the completion of the task, and then repeat the same action so simply that I can't see it." I really doubt if I can continue with the slightest change.”
"Like this?" Imitating a famous game, Medusa projected a score of 10433/300000 on Zhou Shang's helmet screen. And looking at such an appearance, Zhou Shang is obviously not so satisfied.
"Maybe the number should be smaller." He shook his head, knocking out two men and women who were fighting hand-to-hand with ease, and trapped them back-to-back on a steel pipe with their clothes.
While thinking about it, he made a new request.
"Or you can add something else, I mean music or light effects or something. You know, it's the same as the games I sometimes play at home, when I finish the task or level up. I have a little special tip for you..."
"Like this?" After Zhou Shang successfully resolved a family dispute and reunited two little sisters who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. Medusa delivered a burst of rapid and high-pitched drums at the right time. At the same time, a line of small golden characters appeared in front of him. It said something like "Sub-quests, sisters' grievances completed", and after these small words appeared, the huge data also jumped up.
Zhou Shang also noticed that under the original big data of 300,000, there are a few new rows of small data, such as "Number of Missions Completed in Midtown", "Number of Missions Completed in Brooklyn", "Number of Missions Completed in Long Island" etc. Everything seems to be organized into a huge task process by Medusa, and Zhou Shang just likes it.
If the essence of human beings is the repeater, then it is obvious that there are different brands of repeaters. Inferior repeaters simply let you do repetitive work, while high-end ones label each repetition differently while you are doing repetitive work, so that you can experience different happiness from it.
Zhou Shang is very happy now, because he feels that he has been freed from the repetitive assembly line of knocking people and tying people up. And as if entering the world of GTA6, the whole person has been immersed in the ever-changing side missions in various poses and with different expressions.
Of course, this is what he feels in his heart, and it is impossible for others to feel it. However, with him going from simply knocking people out and tying him up somewhere, to choosing how to knock someone out and where to tie him up to be creative, he can He fully felt what kind of change had taken place in his heart.
Medusa is very happy that Zhou Shang can feel happy when doing this kind of thing, because according to human values, people who help others feel happy are definitely a good person in a sense. For a child, you can't ask him to distort the three views now, and be a man who is mercenary, right? So being a good person is definitely the most satisfying result.
However, Medusa has to point out a problem, that is, Zhou Shang's efficiency is obviously declining.
At Zhou Shang's speed, he could have dealt with more than a dozen people in one second, but now, this efficiency has dropped to several seconds before he can deal with two people. This decline is simply incredible, and it is completely inconsistent with the saying that human beings often say that interest is to promote work efficiency.
Medusa doesn't care that Zhou Shang's mission efficiency has dropped, she's just a little worried that what was supposed to take only half a day to disappear has been played by him for several days, and if this continues, will he be fucked by his mother when he goes back? Killed.
Dutiful sons are born under the stick, and the traditional Chinese education has been well passed down on the other side of the ocean. Although this is what Jill saw in the book, sometimes she has to admit that it is better to use this traditional method to deal with this kind of leather monkey. Anyway, no matter how hard you hit, you don't have to worry about breaking it, so it's good to let him learn some lessons from the next ruthless blow.
Jill, who has worked as a front-line police detective, black society and zombies, really has nothing to say about the children she gave birth to. If it is really serious, it is estimated that the gun can be used.
Of course, this is domestic violence, which is totally unacceptable. Although Medusa sometimes cannot prevent Jill from causing domestic violence, as long as possible, she will try to avoid such things from happening.
"Master Shane, maybe I need to remind you of the time. If you continue like this, maybe you won't be able to go home."
"Go home, why go home, don't you see that I'm having fun now?"
"..." At this time, Medusa felt the emotion that every parent would have when facing a child with Internet addiction. She really wanted to find something to wake him up.
But firstly, he may not be able to play a role against Zhou Shang, and secondly, Medusa's core program is also set to never harm everyone in the family. So this idea only existed for a moment, and she had already actively deleted it.
She began to try a more tactful approach, that is, to persuade through words, and the key to persuasion was the mother who was regarded as a tiger by Zhou Shang.
"Master Shane, I know that you may be addicted to it now and cannot extricate yourself, but I need to remind you that if you continue to be so addicted, maybe you will pay a very serious price for it."
"What price?"
"Think about your mother, Master Shane. I don't think Mrs. Jill will let you go easily after you disappeared for a few days without any reason!"
As the saying goes, one thing overcomes one thing, Shan En, who was addicted to the game and couldn't help himself, thought of his mother's furious appearance, and was immediately frightened into a cold sweat. He knew the seriousness of the problem, but he must still be reluctant to let him give up the good game he just got.
This kind of feeling is believed to be the kind of person who often went to Internet cafes when he was a child, and then was beaten again and again but never dared to die. People who know best, such things as self-control are what children lack the most.
Zhou Shang didn't want to give up his current gaming experience, but he was afraid that it would lead to that kind of bad result. So after thinking and thinking, he finally asked Medusa for help.
"Do you have any good suggestions? Medusa. Just help me. You know, my mother has a bad temper recently. I'm afraid she will take out some big guy to beat me this time!"
Thinking of the last time Jill used the M249 to beat this bear boy, Medusa was really worried that she would move Gatling out next time. Although it is true that this will not cause any actual harm to the child, to be honest, Medusa does not think that this is good for the healthy growth of the child's psychology.
It is necessary to provide him with a little help. And how to help him? Medusa felt that he should change his psychology.
"I think you should keep the original efficiency, or improve the original efficiency. If you like this style, we can try more in the future, but for now, you should not continue like this. down!"
"No, no, you don't understand, Medusa. Do you know what a limited edition release is? Except for those things that the merchants deliberately try to attract people's appetites, the real limited editions often only appear on the inadvertent first release. This It’s the first release, Medusa. Only by really experiencing this first version, can I play the role of a hardcore player when promoting this game to Zhou Yu and others. So, even if my mother holds a cannon in front of me, I will never give up on this first experience!"
"..." There was silence for a while, and Medusa reacted with some processing overload because of the stubbornness of the bear child on the game issue. She really didn't know if it was worth it for a game, for a chance to act aggressive in front of her brother. But she knew very well that it was probably impossible to persuade the current Zhou Shang.
"I probably can't help you, Master Shane. After all, this is reality, not a real online game. If it is a game, I can help you modify the code inside the game to make you omnipotent, even Even if you have tens of thousands of clones, it won’t be a problem to finish all the tasks at the same time. But in reality, I can only provide you with this kind of false information, and it won’t help you in any way.”
Medusa admitted her powerlessness with some joy, and at the same time threw the problem in front of Zhou Shang. Her plan is to let Zhou Shang face the problem by himself, maybe under the weight of the seriousness of the problem, he will choose to give in by himself?
This is not impossible, after all, children are fickle by nature. But this time, she obviously underestimated Zhou Shang.
As the offspring of Jill and Zhou Yi, he obviously inherited the nature of both parents. This is reflected in Jill's side, that he has the same paranoia and stubbornness as Jill. Jill was notoriously difficult to mess with when she was a policeman. At that time, Umbrella's pressure on the police in the whole city failed to frighten her. Now Zhou Shang is naturally impossible to be frightened by his mother.
Isn't it just a brutal beating? It's just a little painful thing, and it's over with Renren. Anyway, he's settled for this first experience of the game.
With such a cruel heart in his heart, Zhou Shang has made up his mind. But even with the determination to come, he still had some drums in his heart. It is definitely impossible to say that he is not afraid at all, so in his little head, he also began to think crazily about countermeasures.
How to do it? what to do? In a flash of inspiration, Zhou Shang immediately remembered what Medusa said before, and associating with the spells he had learned, he immediately put his mind on the clone technique in the seventy-two transformations.
The avatar technique is a trick where a monkey's hair goes down to transform into thousands of monkeys and grandchildren. It is said that they are monkeys and grandchildren, but in fact they are all clones of monkeys themselves. It is estimated that the monkey felt that the majesty of the monkey king could not be violated, so he borrowed a model in the form of the monkey's grandson.
Zhou Shang doesn't have any scruples in this regard, but he doesn't have as much hair as a monkey. So after stretching out his hand to pluck a small amount of hair from his head, he barely transformed into a hundred clones.
Hundreds of weakened versions of himself can also play a certain role in the current situation. And considering that these avatars are all dressed in the same clothes and appearance as themselves, at first glance it really feels quite bluffing.
Zhou Shang was quite satisfied with this bluffing feeling, so he waved his hand immediately, like a general giving orders, and ordered loudly to his clone.
"Very well, that's it. Dawn Knights, follow my orders, now, let's go!"
When hundreds of armored clones heard the order, they flew into the sky and scattered in all directions. Looking at such a scene, Zhou Shang also muttered to himself excitedly.
"Wow, this feels so good. I'm more and more like to see the effect of the future. When I find the base of those ninjas, I will definitely use this trick again in front of them. It will definitely work." Give them a huge surprise, and tell me I'm right, Medusa."
"Of course, Master Shane..." Medusa hesitated in replying, she was a little hesitant to speak at this moment. However, she reacted quickly and did not give Zhou Shang a chance to notice. Because she quickly changed the subject.
"I've updated your task list, master. I think you should carefully control your... well, clones. I'm a little worried that they may be out of control, after all, this is something we don't understand strength."
"Don't worry, I can handle it!"
Zhou Shang was relieved, he answered quite decisively. As for this, Medusa paused slightly, and then said so.
"Well then..."
