Chapter 141 "Fuse"
Jessica put away her duel disk, and her expression was very depressed.
In this gorgeous competition, this kind of scene has actually happened for a long time. The special nature of the gorgeous competition has caused the contestants to no longer attach as much importance to the victory or defeat in this competition as before; in other words, although the organizers have repeatedly emphasized that victory is still important - after all, if you don't win, no matter how many gorgeous points you get during the competition, it is meaningless - but when the contestants are dueling, they have gradually begun to appear in this situation of "don't kill the opponent and waste a little more time to get higher points."
This phenomenon shows that the influence of the gorgeous competition has begun to gradually show up, and the speed at which the contestants accept this model has even exceeded Li Zheng's original expectations. And the frequent occurrence of this phenomenon, to put it philosophically, is the "greed" in human nature.
[Just like the perpetual motion machine of the future that z-one said. 】 Li Zheng looked at Jessica who walked off the stage dejectedly, and concluded in his heart: [In the future world, although there are perpetual motion machines, the energy output efficiency is limited, and the inventor of the perpetual motion machine, Dr. Motionless, has also formulated the principles for the use of perpetual motion machines, one of which is "do not let it rotate too fast". But he died in the accident called "zero point reversal" before he could calculate the standard number of "too fast". 】
"Zero point reversal" is the first rampage of the perpetual motion machine. Although compared with the "machine emperor's appearance" that later destroyed the world, this "zero point reversal" is as gentle as it can be, but it does not hinder its destructive power: the disappearance of a city and the collective death of the core group of scientists who studied perpetual motion machines directly led to the lack of a rational understanding of the power of perpetual motion machines in human society.
And the perpetual motion machine civilization based on this understanding is always pursuing further energy output. It is precisely this idea that has led to the proliferation of various duel tactics. In the end, when the perpetual motion machine almost did not produce positive particles, it was too late: the perpetual motion machine read the dark side of human hearts, created the machine emperor, and destroyed everything.
In fact, even if Dr. Motionless calculated this standard, it would be useless: the benefits brought by the perpetual motion machine are too great, and a small warning is not enough to stop stupid humans.
[This trick seems to be quite effective at present - at least, many people have begun to pursue this "gorgeous points". Once this duel concept begins to spread, then even if the "Dyson Sphere" cannot be built, the world will at least not face a terrifying opponent like the "Machine Emperor". 】 Li Zheng nodded. He had experimented with the perpetual motion machine made by z-one and Zhuo Er. An excellent "Gorgeous Duel" can mobilize much more wandering particles than a higher-level "General Duel". [For the sake of profit, more and more duelists will participate in the ranks of Gorgeous Duelists, and it is difficult for the Gorgeous Competition to have a universal "routine", so that the rampage of this card-playing force can be suppressed to some extent...]
"Gorgeous Competition" is a very flexible ring. Although its effect is not as direct as that of Dyson Sphere, at least it can also play the role of a "fuse" - although it seems a bit child's play to tie the entire human society to a fuse, people who have not experienced the despair faced by z-one will not know that this "fuse" is hard-won.
Although Jessica and other contestants of the Gorgeous Competition who played too much today were a failed debut for herself, her audience, and her suitors, for Li Zheng, their performance was in line with his plan.
But then again, why did Li Zheng bring Xue Noi here to watch Jessica's duel? Didn't she have her own game?
In fact, this was also due to a new message received just before.
Just thirty minutes ago, Xue Noi maintained her first place in the gorgeous points after the duel, and at this time, Luo Likong, Rebecca, Jiu Yuli and others who happened to meet before had already left one after another - after all, they still had their own games to play, and even for Luo Likong and Rebecca, if they wanted to "die less ugly", they had to win a few games to hold on until they could use the "golden medal of immunity from death", so now the time left for them is getting less and less.
The only ones who wanted to go out with Yukino were Mazaki Kyoko and Natasha: For Mazaki Kyoko, the outcome of the duel and the ranking of the competition were not the most important. Just like most girls in the class who played games not to play games but to integrate into the group, the reason why Mazaki Kyoko played cards and asked Xiaohui to "further study" for her was just to keep up with the game and Jonouchi. The result of the game was not important to her; and Natasha seemed to have something on her mind after meeting Yukino this time. She always wanted to ask something, but she never spoke.
Li Zheng guessed that it was related to the last "leg swap" - [Did she find out that her race had been modified? ] - Li Zheng thought so, but chose not to ask. There were still many things to do, and there was no time to think about this. Anyway, even if she found out, it would not harm her - after all, this thing did not cause any harm to Natasha herself, but was beneficial - and in this way, Patchouli would not need to disguise herself as a "health checkup" to obtain the data after DNA modification in the future.
And it was at this time that Li Zheng, who had originally planned to continue to "let Xue Noi go" and only guide her when she faced difficulties, suddenly received a communication from Kuang San.
"Ah, aah, you are accompanying middle school girls again, what a playboy, boss~" After Kuang San's call was connected, the other party seemed to not care at all that this was a public channel and teased Li Zheng - fortunately at this time, Xue Noi had not developed the habit of accessing the communication network of the spirit behind her anytime and anywhere, otherwise Li Zheng would have to explain for a long time, "By the way, boss, guess who was the girl who poisoned my coffee before?"
Kuang San did not wait for Li Zheng to explain - she would not listen to the other party's explanation anyway - but instead raised the question first; and after hearing Kuang San's question, Li Zheng replied with a black face: "How can I guess this kind of thing... There are so many people who don't like us. But I am still very concerned - who exactly thought of murdering you, the ace, is she crazy?"
[Really, can't you use "that state" for me once? 】After hearing Li Zheng's answer, Kuang San felt a little unhappy for some reason. Of course, she also knew that even though Li Zheng's "sublimated spirit" had been upgraded, the CD time was still there. It was not worth it to use it to calculate a problem with a known result. So Kuang San said directly: "I'm not afraid of you laughing when I say this - this time it's really a big lady who is full and wants to find excitement. The kind that can be found in a lot of novels, animations, and movies... The daughter of Hannibal, the governor of Nevada, who you commissioned me to investigate before, actually came out alone to assassinate me~"
Li Zheng: "Huh?"
