"So then you pretended to be Shen Siyi to test me. Why did you do that?" Zhang Jin asked.

Lu Ke said: "I just want to see your level and whether you are someone worth entrusting to you."

Zhang Jin said: "What are you entrusting to me? You entrust your best friend to me? Even if I am a person worth entrusting to you, have you considered Shen Siyi's opinion?"

Lu Ke stroked his hair and couldn't help but smile: "You don't think that when I say entrustment, I mean letting you get married, do you? Are you thinking too much?"

"Isn't it? Then what do you mean by entrustment?" Zhang Jin was a little embarrassed.

"I just want you to take care of her for me. If I am no longer here one day, you can help solve the problem as an ordinary friend."

"What if they are not just ordinary friends?"

"Then it depends on your ability."

At this time, the waiter brought juice to the two of them, as well as dinner, a steak and vegetable and fruit salad.

"Just wait at the bar. If you don't have my greeting, don't come over." Lu Ke said to the waiter.

"Okay, boss."

After watching the waiter leave, Zhang Jin turned to look at the two dishes on the table: "Is this all we have for dinner? Is it too little?"

Lu Ke picked up the empty plate next to him and put some vegetable and fruit salad in it, then pointed at the salad and steak: "I will eat these, the rest are yours, isn't that enough?"

"It's okay." Zhang Jin shrugged. He didn't really come here for dinner anyway, he just wanted to deal with it.

The two of them had a few bites and continued talking about the previous topic.

"You said before that I didn't understand the true meaning of player, but do you understand this very well?" Zhang Jin forked an apple into pieces with a fork.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should still be an intermediate player."

"Uh-huh." Zhang Jin ate the apple, noncommittal.

"The true meaning of player has twofold meaning. One, it refers to yourself, and the other, it refers to the supporters behind you." Lu Ke saw Zhang Jin who was obviously stunned and smiled slightly, "You must be very curious about what is behind you." How come there are supporters and who they are? In fact, I don’t know, or I’m not sure, because I have never seen them.”

"Then how are you sure of their existence?" Zhang Jin asked doubtfully.

"Because they will place bets every time you copy, and if you perform well enough, supporters will prepare props for you to increase your strength. And the random client tasks you have now in each copy are actually the supporters' Wishes." Lu Ke replied.

"It seems that these supporters are quite good to the players, and then the client's wish is simply to give them points, and they will also give the players props." Zhang Jin said in surprise.

"This is the same as raising pigs. In the end, it is just to satisfy the purpose of the breeder." Lu Ke suddenly sneered.

"Raising pigs?" Zhang Jin frowned slightly.

Lu Ke continued: "You may have guessed that players are divided into junior, intermediate and advanced players. Junior and intermediate players are all in single-player dungeon mode. To be honest, as long as they are serious and hard enough, most players can get A-level. or above. No matter how lazy you are, it won’t be difficult to pass the minimum clearance requirements.”

Zhang Jin nodded. The other party was right about this. The difficulty of the dungeon was very layered.

"So, if they don't have a heart to pursue perfection, most players will only get A or B clearance evaluations, and the rewards these people get are much worse than S-level. From this point on, they are doomed. The final fateful outcome.”

Lu Ke picked up a small tomato fruit from his plate, used his thumb, index finger, and middle finger at the same time to crush the fruit.

"Those players who don't strive for perfection will end up like this cherry tomato. They have no power to resist. The biggest resistance is that the juice splashes everywhere. It's disgusting."

"Someone wants to attack players? Who are they?"

Lu Ke wiped his hands slowly with a tissue: "They? They are us!"

"Us?" A horrifying thought came to Zhang Jin's mind, "You mean the players are killing each other!"

"Yes, to put it simply, the entire game is a gladiatorial arena. Have you ever seen the Hollywood Hunger Games? Battle royale is the essence of the game, but it doesn't have so many political purposes, it's just for entertainment.

The dungeons experienced by junior and intermediate players are to train players. When players become advanced players, they will be substituted into the arena for the battle royale, and then all they will face are players."

Zhang Jin asked curiously: "There shouldn't be many players. If ten high-level players are killed in a battle royale, won't the personnel reserve be exhausted quickly?"

"No, because most of the time the battle royale does not force players to kill each other. As long as you can clear the scene copy, you can complete the task. Most of the time, players kill each other to compete for clearance slots.

, as long as you can pass the level one step faster than everyone else, you will not be intercepted. In a few cases, it is not ruled out that there will be bloodthirsty players who want to kill other players to gain loot. But such people will become the majority of players.

A public enemy, everyone can find and kill him."

Lu Ke paused, "What's more, do you know about parallel time and space? Although the number of players in our time and space is not large, the number of players in other parallel time and space is quite large. I have met many Chinese players in parallel time and space.

, their history is completely different from ours, and the historical trends are all kinds of different, just like reading a novel."

"Listening to what you said, the Arena Battle Royale is not that scary. I am still interested in joining the ranks of high-level players." Zhang Jin smiled.

Lu Ke looked at him with a very serious expression: "If you join a high-level player, you will have no chance to quit unless you die."

"You say it as if I have a chance to quit now." Zhang Jin smiled disapprovingly.

"That's why I met you."

Zhang Jin's smile gradually faded, and the expression on his face gradually became serious: "Do you have any idea?"

"Yes, I have a way, but the price is not small." Lu Ke said directly without being shy.

"What price?"

"The price is that you lose your identity as a player, all your abilities will be taken back, and you will forget this experience forever."

"It's fair. Without my ability, I at least made a lot of money. The price is too easy." Zhang Jin said with a smile.

Seeing that he was so willing, Lu couldn't help but nodded: "You have a good mentality, but the price must be more than this. If you want to completely get rid of your identity as a player, you must pass an assessment. Only by passing the assessment can you completely get rid of it."

"What assessment?" Zhang Jin asked.

"The difficulty of the next dungeon will be increased beyond your own strength. That is to say, if you are an intermediate player now, then the difficulty of the next dungeon will be that of an advanced player." Lu Ke said, "Do you still remember the little girl?

The nightmare scene? It’s a copy for advanced players.”

"It doesn't sound difficult." Zhang Jin said with a relaxed look.

"It's not difficult because what you entered is just a virtual dream that I constructed. The difficulty of the real dungeon will be higher than that of the dream. Moreover, this dungeon is not a familiar film and television drama. It does not have any experience to draw from, and it has five layers of reversals.

, the difficulty will increase with each reversal, and once the copy is reversed to the fourth level, even advanced players may not be able to survive."

After hearing her description, Zhang Jin was a little shocked: "Is it so powerful? Then how did you survive?"

"I found the conditions to pass the game on the third level of reversal. At that time, the horror in my copy had reached the limit of what I could bear. If I entered the fourth level of reversal, I might not have a chance to survive. As for the fifth level, it was very difficult to survive.

It’s hard to imagine how difficult it is.”

When Lu Ke said these words, there was a lingering expression of fear on his face.

"It is precisely because of this experience that I came up with the idea of ​​finding someone to take care of Siyi. Otherwise, if I can't take care of my best friend myself, why should I let other pigs take care of her?"

"..." Zhang Jin was stunned for a moment.

"Of course, I'm not talking about you. You are the little wolfdog I chose. You are not comparable to those pigs." Lu Ke explained.

"..." Zhang Jin was speechless. This shouldn't be praise and affirmation, right?
