Chapter 1913 U Transcendence Event (IV)

Before the safe zone was deployed, everyone was still in the previous silver space. Steve, who had just become the team leader, planned to hold a combat meeting during this time.

He stood in front of the round table, supported the table with both hands and looked around and said: "I think everyone here is smart, at least smarter than me, so I won't point fingers. Everyone can speak freely, but try not to deviate from the topic. The theme of this combat meeting is to analyze the known rules and formulate the principles of the next action. Let's get started."

Natasha gave him a thumbs up, and then said: "I like this most about you, Captain, this paragraph is given to Nick, he will speak for at least half an hour."

Steve smiled, shrugged and said: "He was not like this when he was fighting. He has been a director for a long time, so it is inevitable that he has some bureaucratic habits."

Stark pressed his middle finger on his forehead and pulled out of deep thinking. God returned, he put down his hand, tapped the table with his index finger and said: "I won't be polite with you. I do have some ideas about the rules I just heard."

"First of all, this is the simplest zero-sum game. There can only be one winner, and the loser has nothing. This means two points. First, we always have to grab resources from others. Second, the first mover must have a huge advantage that is difficult to surpass."

"The purpose of the first point is..." Stark's eyes lingered on Peter and Steve's faces, and then said: "It is inevitable to compete for resources with our counterparts, that is, other superheroes. I wonder what you think about this?"

Steve said after a pause: " I think our focus should be on ensuring that every game is successfully completed. After all, if the game is lost, everything will be lost. "

"I will not harm anyone." Peter shook his head vigorously and said, "I know I can't do it at all, no matter what the reason is."

"Okay, then let's take it a step further." Schiller said, "If members of other teams are going to die, will you save them?"

Steve, Peter and Stark looked at each other, and it was Steve who spoke up, "If he hasn't harmed us, then we will try our best to help, but if he wants to do something to us, don't blame us for being rude."

Peter also nodded, and Stark rubbed his upper lip with his index finger Said: "If they haven't helped us, I won't help them. If they help us, I will repay the favor. But if he not only doesn't help us but also wants to harm us, or deliberately lets us go and causes the game to fail, then I will take the initiative to attack."

At this time, Matt said: "If someone deliberately harms us, or simply disrupts the game to make everyone lose together, then no matter whether his points are positive or negative, I will kill him."

Schiller nodded, and he understood the principles of good and evil of everyone. In fact, this is not unexpected. Steve and Peter are very traditional and upright people, Stark is relatively neutral, and Matt hates evil. As for him and Natasha, needless to say, the main character is to take revenge when there is a grudge and to take grudges when there is a grudge.

"Then let's make three rules." Stark held up a finger and said, "On the premise of ensuring that the interests of the winning team will not be harmed, no one will interfere with anyone else's choice. If there is still strength left, you can save people by yourself, and you can take revenge by yourself."

Natasha frowned, not agreeing. She said, "But if the team is reduced in number due to saving people, wouldn't it also damage the interests of the team?"

"Someone has to take this risk." Steve pondered for a moment, thinking and said, "According to the rules of the game, sometimes saving people is not entirely a conscientious act. In order to prevent negative numbers from entering the prize pool, we have to save people for our own benefit. Similarly, in order for the team to win the final victory, someone may have to kill people."

"If we are mutually If one group of people prevents another group of people from saving people, or one group of people stops another group of people from killing people, then they will only hinder themselves. "

Peter covered his face and said, "Anyway, I will not harm others, but I have to admit that there are always bad apples, so if you want to take revenge, I will pretend not to see it."

"It's better to talk about it." Matt tapped the ground with his blind stick and said, "So as not to wait until an emergency occurs to debate good and evil on the spot."

"Then it's decided." Stark knocked on the table and said, "Everyone acts from their own standpoint, but assume that the standpoints of others are neutral and do not interfere with each other's actions."

"What if there is a conflict?" Natasha asked.

"Put the interests of the team first." Schiller said.

The other people looked around, exchanged glances with each other, and finally nodded, which was regarded as approval of this statement.

"Then let's talk about the second point." Stark then brought the topic back to the point and said: "The rule that you can use points to buy props makes the first-mover advantage accumulated in the early stage of the game unimaginable. As long as you earn enough points and stockpile enough props, you are almost invincible."

"So I think our early combat style should be more aggressive and adventurous, earn as many points as possible, and then exchange them for props."

Schiller listened to Stark's summary quietly, and found that Stark was looking at this side. Schiller put his hand on his chin and said: "According to common sense, this combat strategy is correct, but there are many problems if you think about it carefully, such as whether there is a limit on the props purchased with points? Can the props be stored in the safe zone? Or must they be carried on the body of the members?"

Schiller glanced aside, thought for a while and said: "The rules of the game clearly encourage fighting between duelists, so I think the answer to the second question is likely that whoever redeems the props will carry it on his body."

"Once this is the case If you are eliminated in the game, the props will drop along with the points, which adds another variable to the prize pool and blocks the way to hoard a large number of props. "

Natasha nodded and said, "Then it is very important to reasonably distribute the points and props carriers, otherwise it is very likely to make wedding clothes for others."

"I always feel that it is not that simple." Peter pursed his lips and frowned and said, "This rule is indeed clear and easy to understand, and there is nothing complicated, but I always feel that there are still many omissions."

Schiller spread his arms, put his hands on the edge of the table and said, "Remember, if you are in any If you see the words "The organizer reserves the right of interpretation" at the end of the notice, then you can treat all the above as bullshit. There must be more important rules that have not been announced. "

"Then let's discuss the next plan." Steve glanced at the back of his hand and said, "Courage, wisdom and unity, which one do you think is better to take the lead?"

"Do I need to ask this? It must be wisdom." Natasha shrugged, pointed at the people present and said, "Everyone here is smart, so IQ quizzes are definitely more suitable for you."

"I always feel that something is wrong. Yes. "Stark rubbed his chin with his thumb and index finger and said, "Wisdom is also all-encompassing. It may be the simple calculation speed of the brain, it may be abstract thinking, it may also be psychological games or simple memory or something like that."

"And the so-called courage classification is even more vague. What is courage? Is it the courage to save people or the courage to kill people? Is it to move forward regardless of the consequences or to suspend it with a clear mind? Aren't these all courage?"

Several people thought about it separately, obviously imagining what kind of games there would be and which type of games would be more suitable for them.

At this time, Schiller said, "I also agree to participate in the game of wisdom first. The rules of the game of wisdom are definitely more complicated. We can more easily see the organizer's ideas for designing the game from it, so as to gain information advantage."

When he said this, a prompt sounded in everyone's ears: "The safe zone is about to be launched, ten...nine...eight...seven..."

After the ten-second countdown, the silver light curtain was removed, and everyone suddenly found themselves in a wooden house. Looking out the window, there were forests all around, and looking far away, there seemed to be the shadow of a city-state above the mountains on the skyline.

Steve and Stark opened the door without thinking, and after rushing out, they found that this was a logging camp, including a warehouse, with five rooms of different sizes, surrounding the forest processing plant, and a small stockpile yard next to it.

"Our birthplace is good." Schiller said as he walked out and looked at the environment: "It seems that there are no other safe areas around. The resources of the forest farm are all ours."

Natasha walked out, stretched and said: "I don't know if weapons are allowed here. Give Tony Stark some raw materials, and he can take us to the moon."

Stark lowered his head and stepped on the sand under his feet, and said: "From the topography and climate, it doesn't look like the United States, but more like Canada."

Schiller also squinted his eyes. At this time, the light was like the early morning, and a ray of light visible to the naked eye shone through the colorful tall trees. The dry air was full of coolness, and the bleak feeling of autumn surged into my heart.

Suddenly, Matt, who was walking at the end, said: "There should be a stream confluence nearby. I heard the sound of water."

Several people began to look for it, and soon found a clear stream not far from the camp. When Peter put his hand into the stream, he exclaimed in surprise at the coolness and looked at the colorful pebbles under the stream with some curiosity.

The stream was surrounded by layers of bushes. Walking downstream along the stream, in just three minutes, we saw a very wide lake.

"Is this Lake Superior?" Natasha said after tidying up her hair.

"It's not that big." Peter immediately pointed out the problem and said, "If it is Lake Superior, the surrounding area should have a marine climate, but the air is very dry, which means that this lake is not big. It is almost impossible to be one of the Great Lakes. It is more likely to be a small lake in a national forest park."

Steve looked far away, then pointed to the opposite side of the lake and said, "Look there, is there a city there?"

He pointed to the opposite side, and saw that there seemed to be some man-made buildings on the colorful mountains covered with deciduous forests in the distance. Peter stretched out his hand to determine the proportions, and then said, "That's not a city, but a settlement in the mountains. I guess it's also a safe zone for a team."

Stark walked up to Steve and put his hands over his eyes to block the glaring sunlight. After looking around, he said, "If I'm not mistaken, there should only be so-called duelists on this earth. One hundred teams sounds like a lot. Even if each team has six people, there are only six hundred people. If they are evenly distributed on the earth, they may never meet."

"But there is another team's safe zone in front of us, which means that the organizer deliberately put some contestants together. Steve speculated that it was probably to strengthen the competition between the contestants."

"Let's go back to the woods quickly. From the terrain, we can see their camp, but they can't see ours. This is one of our advantages. It's better to hide." Matt suggested.

The group walked back along the stream, but halfway through, Peter rubbed his stomach and said, "Why do I feel a little hungry? Can I be hungry here?"

Steve immediately turned to look at him, and Matt sighed and said, "I have felt it for a long time. Even in this world, we have to solve our basic survival needs by ourselves. Do you know what this means?"

Matt looked up at the colorful forest path decorated with various leaves and shrubs, and asked himself, "It means that we can only win and not lose. Once we get injured in the game and lose our ability to make a living, we will inevitably drag down our teammates to take care of us, and fall into an endless vicious cycle."
