Text Chapter 1308 Expansion Pack

"It turns out that the so-called '996' working system will cause such great damage to ordinary people, it is simply not a human life!"

"The entire economic system operates on the basis of high welfare. If drastic reforms are carried out rashly, it will indeed cause great turmoil to the lives of ordinary people. In the economic report, they are just numbers that can weigh the pros and cons and sacrifice at any time , but in real life, they are real people, people who have emotions and desires, who will complain and even resist!"

"Going to the resource planet on the edge of the star sea to mine, facing endless darkness for many years, and the threat of high death rate, every ton of spar mined is covered with blood stains, no wonder most Panlong people are frowning! "

"Panlong civilization has not developed much star sea navigation technology for thousands of years. It is too difficult to build a star sea fleet from scratch! Ordinary people may not be able to see the obvious for ten or twenty years. The progress is like wandering in the dark night, and you can't see the direction of dawn, no one can stand it!"

When Long Yunxin saw the role she played, from a youthful, beautiful and energetic girl at the beginning to a haggard, wrinkled face step by step, and was overwhelmed by the burden of life, she couldn't help feeling extremely entangled in her heart. idea.

This girl was born in the "golden age" before the scarcity of resources. She grew up in a honeypot since she was a child. She is innocent and carefree, and takes all happiness in life for granted.

However, just three days after she and her innocent and kind-hearted husband got married, the government announced that the Panlong civilization had entered the era of "March of Glory", which would drastically cut benefits, extend working hours, force savings and purchase national debt, and all citizens tightened their grip. Belt, to support the construction of Star Sea Fleet.

When Long Yunxin saw this, he felt quite self-inflicted.

Because of the same policy, she had issued it several times when she was the supreme consul just now.

At that time, she also looked at the future of the Panlong civilization from a high-level perspective and took an overall attitude, but she never thought about what such a change would mean to ordinary people.

After entering the era of "March of Glory", the life of the ordinary Panlong woman she played was ruthlessly shattered in an exquisite glass house.

The working hours have been greatly extended, but the salary has been cut in half. Even this pitiful half has to be divided into a designated account of the "Xinghai Development Bank" for a period of ten years. If you want to withdraw it in less than ten years, Not only will there be no interest, but even the principal will be reduced by a large amount!

A large amount of resources have been invested in the construction of the Star Sea Fleet. The prices in the society are soaring, the currency is devalued, and people are panicking.

Inflation and economic crisis would break out every two or three years, and in the end, strict rationing had to be implemented to barely stabilize the situation.

The veil of warmth between her and her husband was soon torn apart by the harsh reality. The husband, who was drained of blood and sweat in the factory during the day, became more and more silent, more sensitive, and more difficult to approach.

Their marriage and their relationship with each other's families are on the verge of collapse.

One day, another bad news came from the outside world. The latest mining starship, which cost a huge amount of money to build, once again declared a test failure. The resources that were sent out by countless people in the big bang were wasted in vain!

People finally couldn't hold back the anger in their hearts, and took to the streets to protest, including Long Yunxin's "husband"!

Long Yunxin knew that her "husband"'s company was facing bankruptcy due to a shortage of raw materials. He was in a bad mood these days, and occasionally faced the wall with his eyes straightened and muttered to himself.

Feeling worried, Long Yun took to the street and called out her husband's name loudly in the crowd.

Suddenly, a wave of scorching air rose up ahead, and a cloud of thick black smoke rose up!

Accompanied by a burst of heart-piercing exclamations, Long Yunxin heard the shriek of spar bombs tearing through the air. That was the last sound she heard in this game.

"ah!"

Long Yunxin woke up suddenly from the game, and she did not know when she broke away from the mentality of a bystander and fell into it completely.

She seemed to have just escaped from a nightmare, panting for nearly a minute before her heartbeat gradually calmed down.

However, after filtering out the details of this ordinary person's life one by one, her breathing became short again.

Because she found out, isn't this just the story of when she played the second game, from suppression to massacre?

"So that's it. Everything I'm going through now as an ordinary person is all caused by myself just now!"

Long Yunxin vaguely figured out the true meaning of the game "Civilization".

She doesn't like simulation management and strategy battles, but she doesn't dislike role-playing.

Next, she played more than a dozen different roles in the Coiling Dragon civilization, but they all have a common characteristic, they are all little people who follow the trend, ordinary people.

Among them is the chairman of the trade union who is trying his best to fight for more rights and interests for members.

There are also ordinary soldiers of the army who participated in the repression and massacres.

There are also miners who went to the resource planets at the edge of the star sea to mine, and finally died tragically in the depths of the mine veins due to accidents, with no bones left.

There are also the closest relatives of these miners who died.

The more he came into contact with the bottom layer of Panlong civilization, and every corner of it, the more entangled and complicated Long Yunxin's mentality became.

"The resources on a planet are limited. If you want to keep civilization alive, you have to jump out of the planet!"

"However, it is not easy to jump out of the planet. It is very likely that decades of time will be wasted, astronomical resources will be consumed, and tragedies will be staged in countless families, but in the end it will be nothing!"

"If a civilization wants to develop, it doesn't even talk about development. Just surviving in the sea of ​​stars is too difficult, too difficult, too difficult!"

Long Yunxin was filled with emotion.

She originally wanted to choose more civilizations and try the life of ordinary people in the medicine fork world, the martial arts world, and even the sand barbarian world.

However, another line of small golden characters appeared below the main interface, which attracted her attention.

It seems that during the game just now, she met some specific trigger conditions and opened a new module of the game.

This module is an expansion piece of the "Civilization" game, called "Rise of the Empire".

On top of these five big characters made of steel and faintly exuding the smell of gunpowder smoke, there is a black blitzkrieg flag covering the sky and the sun, and under the flag is a black silhouette with a helmet on.

In recent years, some rumors about the real human empire have spread in the streets and alleys of the Three Realms, including the rise of the Black Star Emperor. There are dozens of versions of the story flying around.

Long Yunxin immediately guessed that this expansion should be about the history of Wu Yingqi's rise step by step after coming to the Star Sea Republic, stealing the highest power, finally ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, and establishing a real human empire.

Sure enough, the introduction of the expansion pack mentioned that "Rise of Empire" is a brand new world derived from the huge database and computing power of "Civilization". The main map is concentrated in the Xinghai Republic, the most prosperous place in the human world.

Players can freely choose the role to play, either as a member of the Star Sea Republic Council, or as the leader of a large sect with a long history, or as a general of the central army defending the capital, or as an indigenous leader in a border semi-independent world... with different identities , to accelerate, delay, support or prevent the emergence of the true human empire.

Of course, if you want, you can also directly play Wu Yingqi himself, and experience the rise of the black from the perspective of the "Black Star Emperor".

But now, most of the functional modules are still being perfected, and all the above identities have not yet been realized, and there are only a few roles that testers can play.

Long Yunxin randomly chose one from a list of ordinary names, and the light and shadow flashed in front of his eyes, as if appearing in a brand new world.

A large amount of information flowed into the depths of her brain continuously.

She is an ordinary citizen of the Star Sea Republic, and her husband is a senior mine tunnel structure expert.

Ten years ago, she and her husband came to this small resource planet to settle down. She worked in the primary school attached to the mining area and gave birth to two lovely babies, a son and a daughter. Her life was warm and peaceful, as if It's good that it lasts forever.

The war shattered their peaceful life. The resource planet was occupied by fierce enemies. The own headquarters that was originally set up here hastily withdrew, but left them civilians here.

They did not give up resistance, and many remnants of soldiers and young adults among the civilians got into the depths of the intricate mine tunnels and persisted in fighting, defending the dignity of the Star Sea Republic in vain.

Although her husband did not directly join the underground resistance forces, he used his professional knowledge to help the resistance forces and even risked his life by using their home as a secret meeting place for the resistance forces.

The game invested a lot of computing power and rendering special effects in the story of this unknown little character, creating a world where the real and the fake are indistinguishable, which made Long Yunxin feel both illusory and real.

She seemed to "see" that she was holding her daughter and holding her son, pretending to be walking in front of the house, but she was watching out for members of the resistance organization at home.

She could even clearly feel her nervousness, worry, anger, and hatred mixed together, which could not be described in words.

"Will the enemy discover the existence of the resistance organization? If they are discovered, how will they retaliate against us?"

"Will our army come back?"

"I don't care, but can my son and daughter return to the embrace of the motherland and grow up safely and healthily?"

Long Yunxin completely substituted himself into the game characters, thinking worriedly.

At this moment, she suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly, followed by a strong smell of burning, and hundreds of faint blue arcs shot out from the horizon, like ten thousand batteries full of power. The thunderous volcano erupted at the same time!

She saw countless enemy starships take off in a hurry, and they were caught up, torn and shattered by the arc before breaking through the shackles of the gravitational circle!

But before she had time to applaud, the thunder and lightning turned into an overwhelming wave, sweeping across the entire planet, treating all enemies, resistance fighters, and all civilians including her and her two children!

Long Yunxin struggled out of the game again.

His whole body was as cold as a dead person, only his teeth collided fiercely, making a "click" sound.

She knew who she was playing.

It was one of the eight million civilians who were "sacrificed" by the Black Star Emperor during the "Battle of Karan". (To be continued.)
