Chapter 310 Threat

"Don't worry, it's not difficult. Just tell me which force you are from."

"I...I am from the Heaven and Earth Society!" The guy stumbled and still managed to say such an answer.

I frowned, looked at him slightly angrily and said, "It seems you still don't realize how much trouble you are in! Then, this thing should make you sober up." As I said that, I took out the artifact of forcing confessions. ——Expired elixir. "Now, the properties have been shown to you, and you should also know the consequences of eating this thing. So..." I deliberately smiled evilly and said: "Tell me what I want to know? This way you and I will be good to everyone. Okay!"

"I, I, I...I really am..."

"Hey... you only have one chance. You have to think clearly." I said while hitting his head with the spine of the eternal hook sickle gun.

The guy looked at me with an expression that made me very scared. After struggling for a while, his eyes suddenly changed. He jumped up from the ground and flew to the side. The speed was really fast. At least by the standards of ordinary players, this speed is definitely quite good. But unfortunately, this speed is indeed quite fast for ordinary people, but it is a little worse for me.

When I saw the guy running away, I didn't chase him at all. Instead, I rode on Ye Ying's back and shook my head helplessly. Then I slowly raised my left hand and pointed it at his vest, moving my fingers. With a pop, the dragon tendon rope flew out. The head of the rope instantly penetrated the guy's shoulder blade and popped out from the front. Then the head of the rope automatically bounced away with a click, and the three open claws grasped it firmly. His collarbone and nearby muscles tensed up with the cord, pulling him straight away from where he was and flying backwards towards me.

The guy who was pulled back directly with a bang was slammed to the ground, and at this time Lei had already thrown the other archer next to him. I moved my fingers, and the rope head stuck on the guy's shoulder automatically retracted. Then I pulled it again, and the rope head immediately came loose and was pulled out by me. Of course, this action triggered a heart-rending cry from the guy again. Scream, after all, it was being pulled out of the flesh. Even without those hooks, it would definitely be very painful.

"Hey. You two, stop pretending to be dead on the ground. Hurry up and tell me honestly who you are?"

"Bah. Why do you, a Chinese, care about our affairs in the Republic of Korea?" The archer on the ground shouted arrogantly. He had already woken up during the process of being dragged here by Lei, but now he can't run away because I just asked the sickle to wrap him in spider silk and turn him into a mummy, except for his head. . So besides being able to curse, he could only move around on the ground like a caterpillar. As for the other guy... he just had a hole punched through his shoulder. Seeing that his face had changed color in pain, it was obvious that he had activated bloody mode, so it was impossible to escape for the time being. You must know that the bloody mode will not only increase the player's combat effectiveness and on-the-spot effect, but also make you feel real pain. Although the pain level is still slightly lower than the reality, the shoulder has been penetrated, and even if the pain is reduced, it is not that pleasant.

"You seem to be quite energetic." I looked at the archer, and then nodded to Lei next to me. Lei immediately raised one foot and stepped on the guy's stomach.

"Ah..." The archer is not a strong creature, so Lei's kick immediately turned the opponent into the shape of a shrimp, but because his hands and feet were fixed. So I could only twist around there, unable to move Lei's big feet. Of course, even if his hands can move, it is probably of little use. After all, as a familiar, Lei is a combat creature and not a player. Compared to players, the attributes of combat creatures tend to be more concentrated on certain attributes. This is the so-called attribute bias, and the player's attributes seem to vary depending on the profession, but compared with those specialized combat creatures, the player's attributes are still relatively average. Thunder's attributes are basically concentrated on its own strength and magic resistance, so it is absolutely impossible for this guy to rely on strength to defeat Thunder.

"We could have talked nicely, but you insist on me using less polite means. Why bother?" I took out the expired elixir again, and then said, "Now let me ask you one last time, which force do you belong to? If you don’t tell me, I don’t mind giving you one each.”

"Just give up. Even if I don't want this account, I won't be able to tell you." The archer was still shouting even though he was stepped on.

"Oops. That's really a bad choice." I said and directly aimed the eternal hook sickle gun at his mouth and inserted it into it. Then I twisted my body and rotated the tip of the gun at a certain angle to open his tight mouth. mouth. Although the clamor is quite powerful, it is not a last resort. Who wants to abolish his character? The game itself has been in operation for so long now. Everyone has played for so long and has feelings for their characters. In addition, the financial bomb plan of "Zero" is now running more and more smoothly. Many real-life companies have begun to Production and closures have occurred one after another, and a large number of unemployed people have led to the development of semi-professional players. So, for everyone, game characters are basically equivalent to their own professions, and not only professions, the level and strength of this game character are equivalent to a person's academic qualifications and qualifications in reality. It can be said that now The game characters are no longer just a piece of entertainment for the players, they are also an additional or even full source of income for the players.

In fact, it is impossible for normal online games to allow all players to develop professionally. After all, an online game itself will not produce anything. If everyone quits their real job and does not join the game to become a professional player, Isn't this world going to end?

However, the problem now is that our world itself is about to end. In order to cope with the doomsday, all major powers are busy building spaceships. These spaceships consume a large amount of social resources. Even if all countries work together to cover it up, such a large loss of social resources will inevitably cause a series of social phenomena that cannot be covered up. Building a spaceship requires a stable and good social environment, so the construction of the spacecraft must be kept secret, and ordinary civilians cannot know that these countries are building immigration ships. At the same time, because people's activities in reality consume a lot of resources, when the "Zero" plan was proposed, all countries gave the green light all the way, and even did not hesitate to use the power of state machinery to interfere with the operation of society, half-coercion and half-guidance. Let a large number of civilians enter the game.

Countries consume a lot of resources to build immigration ships. In order to meet these resource consumption, the socio-economic structure began to transform. The economic models of various countries began to trend towards heavy industry, and almost everything that had nothing to do with heavy industry was suppressed. The current social productivity determines that humans only need a small number of people to carry out heavy industry and agriculture to meet the needs of the world's population. Therefore, when the entire society transforms into a heavy industrial system, the original tertiary industry and various A series of industries such as light industry, tourism, etc. will be forced to reduce operations until they come to a complete halt.

These industries originally accounted for more than 60% of the world's labor force, but now they are unemployed or semi-unemployed. Things will happen when people are idle, so bringing everyone into the game is the best way to ease conflicts. Of course, this approach can't last forever, but...who cares? The world is about to end, and everyone will just run away until the spacecraft is completed. As for the people who were left behind... the leaders who were running everything no longer cared about it. From the time they decided to abandon some of them, those people were no longer considered part of the nation.

In fact, in addition to temporarily alleviating social conflicts, "Zero"'s inclusion of real-life people also has two huge effects.

First, as the professionalization of players intensifies, "Zero" is actually completing a redistribution of social resources. The original social resources are temporarily replaced by virtual resources, as long as this situation does not endanger the basic survival restrictions of the players. , this method of virtualizing resources can fully meet the life needs of players. Because everyone is in the game, in reality, as long as a bed, a game helmet, a power supply, and a shared cable are enough to meet people's basic survival needs. Assuming that a player never goes offline except for eating, drinking, and defecating, his demand for a house may only require an area as large as a toilet. The consumption of furniture, industrial products, electrical appliances, clothing, cosmetics, etc. in daily life can all be omitted. This virtually saves actual resource consumption, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing social consumption and concentrating resources to ensure the construction of spacecraft.

Second, the professionalization of players has brought about changes in personnel ideology. In order to take away as many people as possible, there is no activity area on the spacecraft at all. All those taken away will lie in coffin-like sleeping chambers. These sleep boxes, which are both life support devices and play cabins, are no more than the size of a coffin. Compared with several people in one cabin in the awake state, this method can undoubtedly save a lot of living space. And because except for the brain, other parts of the body are in a dormant state, so people's oxygen consumption and nutrient consumption will be reduced to a limit state, which determines that we can use less oxygen and nutrients to meet the needs of more people. , This will save us a lot of space, and these spaces can take away more people. Therefore, "Zero" is actually giving everyone a process of adaptation in advance, so that ordinary people will no longer reject this lifestyle. If you get used to it, you won't be disgusted.

Precisely because of the huge benefits of "Zero", all countries are working hard to promote its operation. Although the guy in front of him is tough-talking, it is obvious that he is also very afraid of losing his account character, because in the current social environment, losing his own account is actually more serious than unemployment. It is almost the same as being unemployed and frustrated. All academic qualifications and so on were reimbursed together.
