Chapter 4 Insinuating
After learning the information about the fifth difficulty, Shen Yi did not leave, but continued to chat with Hua Tianrui and the others. m. Of course, the chat that followed was much more casual.
Shen Yi respected Hua Tianrui first, and then said: "Thank you for telling me about the situation. Although there is one thing you didn't mention, I can already imagine that the adventurers' territory may face not only the Zerg, but also the Zerg. Other adventurers?"
Hua Tianrui smiled: "Competing for resources, this is what every adventurer has been doing."
Those who have lost their territory want to regain it, and those who own it want more territory. The Zerg is invincible, so start with the weak adventurers. Even in a world with difficulty level 5, such internal competition still exists. And more intense, frequently appearing in the form of battles.
"Won't the Supreme Council stop it?" Shen Yi asked.
"The Supreme Council has thought about preventing human adventurers from killing each other, but in the end they found that the weak and the strong are the best way to be strong. The utilization rate of resources by weak adventurers is far lower than that of strong adventurers. Before the fourth difficulty, Everyone can gain income by hunting mission monsters, and the income itself can grow together, but in the fifth difficulty, there is a relative total balance, even if it is not a zero-sum mode, it is close. The territory is limited, you have more , others will be less.”
"Can't you get more territory from the Zerg?"
"The larger the territory, the fewer people will be diluted, and the weaker the guard force will be, and vice versa." Hua Tianrui answered Shen Yi with the simplest conversion relationship.
Although adventurers can increase their income by expanding their territory, the Zerg can also shrink their strength and attack with all their strength.
Under the leadership of the master's consciousness, the Zerg is also very smart. They know that the larger the territory, the more enemies they have to deal with first, so the stronger the strength, the heavier the blow.
To a certain extent, today's adventurers have reached a balance with the Zerg, and each of them occupies half of the country. When the external extension is weak, they can only plunder internally, so internal competition has become inevitable. Considering the need for strength development, the Supreme Council acquiesced to this fact. Of course, we still have to work hard to control it within a certain range, and too tragic internal strife is still not allowed.
However, for adventurers who aim for the territory, there is indeed nothing too tragic.
People don't need to be killed, as long as the territory belongs to me.
"If I'm not wrong, there should be four divisions in the fifth difficulty, right?" Shen Yi asked calmly, it seemed that it was just a random question that followed the topic.
"certainly,
Difficulty 5 Since all adventurers gather together, it is only natural to divide by area, but this is just a self-division and has nothing to do with the system. By the way, our East District has the largest territory in the Sim World. "Hua Tianrui said quite complacently.
"I guessed it." Shen Yi said with a smile: "The four districts in the southeast and northwest have always been divided into strengths and weaknesses. I heard that the Northeast and Northeast districts are the strongest a long time ago. But at that time, I wondered about one thing. How is strength defined? After all, there must be a standard, right? It’s not that you say you’re the strongest, it’s not the so-called universal recognition. So the common world of five difficulty levels is the best standard...Whoever has the largest territory, Whoever is the boss."
"That's right." Hua Tianrui also said with a smile: "This is the standard for defining the strength of the four districts, and everything is based on this. The boss of the four districts has always been fighting for the northeastern two districts. Sometimes they are stronger, and sometimes we are stronger." point. It turns out that the weakest area is the southern district, but this time Edmund is finished, the western district has lost a large piece of territory, and has been reduced to the weakest point. Cliff has already threatened that when he enters the simulated world, he will regain the lost land. Everything, revive the prestige of purgatory."
Shen Yi was not interested in Cliff, he just said: "I heard that the reason why the Eastern District can become the boss is mainly because of the unity of the Eastern District."
"That's right!" Hua Tianrui replied with certainty: "In terms of personal strength, we are not as good as the North District. In terms of numbers, we are not as good as the West District. In terms of artifacts, we are not as good as the South District. But we are united in the East District! However, our Dragon League has been leading everyone to garrison together. I dare not say that there is no infighting in the Eastern District, but it must be the least in the four districts. It is under the leadership of our Dragon League and everyone taking care of each other that the Eastern District can maintain the largest territory. Lost, rely on this."
It is said that the Chinese are fond of internal fighting, but this is actually a competition for interests based on the absence of foreign enemies. The nature of other districts is different.
In the Southern District, if the Japanese want to be the leader, the Koreans will definitely not accept it, and if the Koreans want to be the leader, the North Koreans will definitely not be willing. Indians and Pakistan are mortal enemies, and Israel and Palestine will kill as soon as they meet, and they can even ignore their missions. The relationship between Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia is not much better. The situation is various. Intricate and complicated, in order to balance, Vientiane Palace even had to choose two bosses.
The same is true for the West District. The ethnic hatred and chaotic relations brought about by the historical mess in Europe and the United States are no worse than any other regions. England and Argentina are sworn enemies; France and Germany are at odds with each other; England and France hate each other and are against Germany; the Spaniards will support the French because they also hate the English, and the Greeks will support the British because They have to find someone to support them; Romania is used to fighting against Hungary; Poland helps anyone who deals with the Germans, the Germans are always the most tragic, who told them to be a Hitler; Adventurers borrow money, they are bloody point financing lenders earlier than Shen Yi, but the operating efficiency is not good-there are too many bad debts.
The same is true for the people in the North District. There has always been war in that corner of Africa, killing each other, and the degree of killing is only more cruel. Australia was tragically divided into the North District, and was abused by a group of primitive savages, black uncles.
Not to mention the various districts, even the major organizations are still in disputes, and the Purgatory Sect is still fighting endlessly. Because of the same language and the same race, the Eastern District has similar cultural concepts, and the unity surname is still much higher than that of the other three districts. Of course, there are also internal struggles, but they are usually conflicts of interests, at least not like some people in other three districts who have risen to the height of principle.
"So Shen Yi, all of this was achieved through our united efforts, if you..."
Shen Yi knew that he wanted to use this to persuade himself to join the Dragon Alliance, so he interrupted him and said with a smile: "I really think this is God's blessing."
Hua Tianrui was stunned: "How do you say that?"
"Isn't it?" Shen Yi asked back: "The eastern district is basically dominated by Chinese people, which is almost unique among the four districts. The reason why the eastern district can be so united has a lot to do with this. Although the reasons given by the city It is based on population distribution. But there are 7 billion people on the earth, and China has only 1.3 billion. Calculated as a quarter, it is necessary to add a few countries to the Eastern Region, but only a few small regions have been added to the Eastern Region, and most of them are They are Chinese of the same language and the same race, and there is no decent big country. Because of this, the Eastern District has become the world of the Chinese, and everyone can unite and fight against foreign enemies."
After being said by Shen Yi, Hua Tianrui was also a little speechless.
What Shen Yi said is correct, in fact there have been rumors in the city that the Chinese are favored by the Supreme Council, but such rumors have been warned and have not spread.
But there are some things that everyone sees in their eyes and remembers in their hearts. If they don't say it in their mouths, they are bright in their hearts.
Now that Shen Yi took the initiative to point it out, Hua Tianrui could only smile bitterly. He didn't say anything, but the fourth sister-in-law next to him snorted dissatisfied: "Where did God take care of it? It's all about us Chinese ourselves. efforts, if not for..."
"Fourth sister-in-law!" Hua Tianrui shouted in a deep voice.
The fourth sister-in-law immediately shut up, and Shen Yi smiled and said: "So that's the case, I understand, all of this should be fought for by the Supreme Council for the East District, right? No wonder... No wonder..."
Hua Tianrui Gu Ao and the others changed expression at the same time and stood up.
However, Shen Yi waved his hand: "Before the end of this mission, I had contact with Boss Lanyan, and I already knew some things. It seems that you also know it, so that's good, you can open the skylight and speak honestly, don't need to hide it Cover up, hurt feelings."
Hua Tianrui stared at Shen Yi for a while, and finally laughed: "No wonder you came to me, you came to test your feelings, right?"
"I just want to know the identity of the Politburo Standing Committee member, isn't it too much?" Shen Yi took out a cigarette Hua Tianrui casually, the other party shook his head, and the fourth sister-in-law took it over: "Seven-member council, how many people are there in the East District?" Seats? Or how many seats does the Dragon League have?"
Hua Tianrui laughed, and looked at Shen Yi: "One."
On a?
Shen Yi was startled for a moment, then understood: "001?"
Hua Tianxuan nodded.
No wonder!
Shen Yi understood everything now.
"Who is it?" Shen Yi asked.
"The founder of the Dragon League is also the only organized person. As the price of giving up a seat, the Eastern District is dominated by the Chinese, and at the same time holds the position of speaker. Shen Yi, for the development of the entire Eastern District, the Dragon League has made an indelible contribution !" Hua Tianrui said in a deep voice, since Shen Yi already knew the most important part, the details don't matter.
"So that's how it is..." Shen Yi nodded.
In order to balance strength and facilitate decision-making, the seven-member organization of the Supreme Council does not allow even numbers on the one hand, and on the other hand must take into account the interests of all districts.
The final balanced result is that China is the only one in the Eastern District, and the founder of the Dragon League is the speaker. At the same time, there are two people in each of the other three districts. In order to suppress the influence of the three districts and avoid local factions dominating, other members of the council are not allowed to have organizational identities except for the speaker.
Therefore, there are councilors in the West District, but there are no councilors in the Purgatory Sect.
"If my guess is correct, 003 and 004 should be from the West District." Shen Yi laughed.
At the beginning, it was 003 who strongly advocated killing Shen Yi, and 004 was the one who agreed. At that time, Shen Yi had already had conflicts with the Purgatory Sect. Although the two councilors were not members of the Purgatory Sect, the Purgatory Sect was a part of the West District. It was only logical to help the Purgatory Sect. thing.
Since 003 and 004 belong to the West District, then 002 and 006 should be the North District, because these two also directly denied the conviction. The North District has always only liked the strong, and the concept of morality is very indifferent. In order to be strong, you are not afraid of death, even if you are an enemy, as long as you are strong enough, you can gain their respect.
At that time, Shen Yi had already demonstrated his strength, and he had no deep conflicts with the North District. The only Asura he had ever defeated had not chased him to the end, so it was not surprising that people in the North District liked him. And from the perspective of ranking, this is also in line with the strength of the North District, because 002 should be the deputy speaker, and there is probably no difference between 003 and 007.
The Southern District is naturally 005 and 007, typical soy sauce characters. When the Supreme Council made a decision, one abstained and the other proposed to suspend the processing. From this position, the Southern District is also the weakest.
The status of the upper class directly determines the power of the lower class. Although there is only one person in the Eastern District, he occupies the position of speaker and has veto power, which shows his status is detached.
Thinking of this, Shen Yi has basically figured out the details of the Supreme Council. Although it is only a speculation, it can basically be concluded that it is true.
"It's really a great big man." Shen Yi praised sincerely: "However, to have this kind of status, I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on seat concessions? I guess he should also be the main planner of the Fourth Epoch's rebellion."
Hua Tianrui said with a smile: "We prefer to call it a great revolutionary victory for freedom."
"Pop!" Shen Yi spit out a mouthful of old tea, he looked at Hua Tianrui: "I haven't heard this word for a long time, I didn't expect that it would be a bit fresh to repeat the old tune. Jasmine/flower? Or October?"
Hua Tianrui shook his head and smiled wryly: "Dawn War."
"That's a good word, and it sounds much more pleasing to the ear than the Great Rebellion of the Fourth Epoch, but it seems that we haven't seen the dawn, and there are still only endless battles."
"If your grand cosmic plan can succeed, then the dawn will come... No matter how long the night is, there will always be a day when the sun will rise." Hua Tianrui replied quite poetically.
"But the sun will still set after all." The fourth sister-in-law interjected, and Gu Ao glared at him fiercely.
"Isn't this out of feeling? You keep going back and forth in one body after another without end. If getting a human body is the sunrise of your life, then losing this body is another night coming? Can't you just keep going? Stay in a body?"
Shen Yi seized the opportunity to subtly change the subject.
The fourth sister-in-law rolled her eyes: "The soul is not compatible, and the body will gradually lose its vitality, so it must be transferred every time."
"No wonder." Shen Yi asked curiously: "Can you tell me why you made this choice?"
He didn't ask about the secret method of soul reincarnation, he only asked why he made this choice, and it wasn't considered a secret, so everyone didn't stop Mrs. Si.
The fourth sister-in-law replied: "It's nothing, it's just an inevitable choice between dying and existing in another form."
"But it's dangerous to do that, right?"
"The technology is already mature, and the danger is very small, but it is more difficult to find volunteers."
"That is to say, there have been many experiments in this area before? This is not an ability that Longmeng has only recently mastered, but a recently matured ability?"
"Uh... that's right."
Hua Tianrui frowned unknowingly, but fortunately, Shen Yi didn't continue to ask, but just patted Sisao and said: "I believe that one day, you will develop a complete soul transfer ability. There is no need to move all day long. Forget it, let’s not talk about it, let’s talk about other things, how do you see that the enchantress is not too emotional, has she lost her love..."
Shen Yi took the initiative to change the topic, stopped talking about this matter, and chatted with everyone for a while about other things.
The old things that should be said have been finished, Shen Yi got up and left.
Hua Tianrui kept sending him to the gate, looked at Shen Yi's leaving back, and frowned: "It's strange."
"What?" Guao asked.
"I always feel that his intentions for coming this time are not pure."
"Don't you just want to get some information about the Supreme Council from us?" Enchantress said boredly.
Hua Tianrui shook his head: "Since he already knows, why should he care so much about those details? He doesn't plan to join the Dragon League. I don't know why, but I always feel that we still let him know too much."
"He already knows enough, as long as he doesn't let him know about the core things." The fourth sister-in-law replied.
"Core? What is the core? Even what we know may not be the core." Lonely smiled wryly.
"Maybe." Hua Tianrui said leisurely, looking up at the sky above his head.
At the same time, after turning a corner, Shen Yi walked towards the west district. q
