MTL - Survivorship Bias-Chapter 99 warm up game

As usual, they log into the altar at the game factory. When loading, An Wu Jiu suddenly appeared in An Wu Jiu's mind the electronic female voice that flashed in his mind when he just woke up in the red and black copy.

[It's too late...]

[Trust me, you will find all your memories. ]

[…Be sure to survive, come see me alive. ]

[You need company, never alone. ]

state.

But now it seems that this person should not be the mother.

She wants to live to see her.

Who is it?

Could it be my sister?

What time?

Is something irreversible about to happen?

These mysteries have not been solved yet, but at least one thing is true, his memory is indeed slowly recovering.

Intuition tells An Wu Jiao that these are all related to his lost memory. As long as he can retrieve these memories and continue to pass the level alive, he will definitely find the answer, and maybe he can also find his sister.

There are no electric lights here, only kerosene lamps covered by glass covers, and even the lamp posts are made of carved marble, which is extremely beautiful. There was no window in the room, and it was a little dark. At the very center stood a round altar carved out of a single piece of granite. Above the edge of the altar were twelve small statues, the size of palms, some like angels and some like demons. , each is different.

Twelve players this round?

Below the round altar is a carved bronze base that holds up an entire stone altar.

Other players also loaded in one by one, An Wujiu paid attention to the survivors who participated in the competition, and found that there are three or two new faces this time, and they have reached this round, and the remaining players will not be easy.

A young woman with short blue hair, with a small body and dark brown lipstick, looks very maverick.

Another unfamiliar face was a young man, European, tall with broad shoulders and handsome features that looked Italian.

There is also a middle-aged man with an Asian face, who looks about forty years old. Although he is not young, his temperament is very unusual. An Wu Jiao feels very familiar with his cold eyebrows.

But when the other party also swept his gaze to An Wu Jiu, those calm eyes suddenly swayed in panic, and his brows also wrinkled.

An Wujiu felt strange, he had never seen this man.

Or, he was the opponent he met before he lost his memory.

Don't want to set up a confrontation before the game starts, An Wujiu looked away.

Looking a little, he saw Wu You, and also saw a relieved expression on his face. But it is a new game, in order to avoid the other players being defensive, An Wu Jiu gestured to him, indicating that he should not come over yet.

Not only him, Nanshan and Noah are also loaded, and Todo Sakura, who was on the same team in the last round.

When she turned her head, An Wujiu saw a player he didn't want to meet in the game - Zhou Yijue.

He had a hunch that this time it would be another fierce battle.

Several others also loaded them one after another. To An Wu's surprise, he saw Lao Yu, who was eliminated in the red and black dungeons, and the NPC who helped them in the previous dungeon. Little brother, just this time, as a player, he doesn't need to wear a mask.

An Wujiu is not sure whether Laoyu is the one where the NPC resurrected into the player, but the Japanese boy must be.

It was probably the last time I lied to him, this time Lao Yu looked at him differently from the last time, and he was very cautious.

There are eleven people in the room, Zhong Yirou and Yang Erci are not there.

An Wujiu was a little uneasy and lowered his eyes.

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.

Feeling something, An Wu Jiu raised his head, but the expectation in his heart was in vain.

What he saw was not Shen Ti, but a strange middle-aged man. When the other party appeared, he looked calm and calmly swept the circle, just when he discovered An Wu Jiu's existence, his whole person suddenly changed, as if he was greatly frightened, he took a few steps back. Even one leg was weak and sat down on the ground.

“You! You! An Wu Jiu… An Wu Jiu…”

His lips turned pale in an instant, from yelling to mumbling, repeating An Wu Jiao's name.

This person's reaction was too great, many players felt strange, and also retreated, Todo Sakura said first, "Hey, are you all right? What's the matter?"

But in the eyes of others, An Wujiu at this moment is clearly ignorant, and his eyes are full of doubts.

An Wujiu didn't understand what was going on.

But this person really became like this after seeing himself.

So An Wujiu took a step towards him and was about to speak, but the other party was so frightened that he almost crawled away.

"Don't come! Don't kill me! Don't kill me..."

He put his hands on the floor, looked up at the ceiling, looked at the people around him, "I...why am I here..." He saw An Wujiu move forward again, frightened Curled up, "Don't kill me! Please don't kill me!"

The eyes of other players are all locked on An Wu Jiao, with suspicion, rejection, and fear.

An Wujiu stopped.

At this time, he was no longer surprised by the strange behavior of the person in front of him, he was just worried about his next situation.

Trouble.

The blue-haired girl squatted down first, "You get up first, no one here will kill you."

"Yes." Todo Sakura also bent down, "Is there any misunderstanding?"

Old Yu glanced at An Wujiu coldly, then looked at the other people calmly, "This is not certain, seeing that he is so scared now, it seems that he can't pretend. "

The ground splashed on An Wujiu's head.

"It looks like this player must be very good."

Just when everyone thought that the panicked person was the last player, the long-lost holy voice suddenly appeared.

"Player loading error, withdraw processing."

In an instant, the player curled up on the ground gradually turned into a blob of blue light, just as he was about to disappear, An Wujiu noticed the back of his neck.

There appears to be a number on it, 0.

He wasn't sure what he saw was right, after all the numbers had disappeared by a fraction.

Thinking in her heart, An Wujiu raised his hand, his eyes focused on the back of his hand.

"Rematch players."

"Match succeeded."

An Wujiu looked up, wanting to see who the new match was.

Unexpectedly, this time, the altar seemed to listen to his heart.

The line of sight meets Shen Ti, who has just been loaded into the game at this moment, and the eyes are opposite.

Shen Ti's mouth twitched into a smile, dispelling the haze that the strange incident had cast in An Wujiu's heart.

The hanging heart is put down a little, even though An Wujiu knows that if Shen Ti and him are in the same dungeon, if this dungeon is not a team match, or they are not free to choose a team The competition system, it is better to separate from each other, the probability of survival is much higher.

But even so, he hopes to see Shen Ti and stay with him.

He didn't want to leave here as a survivor after fighting and fighting for his life, but he couldn't find Shen Ti.

Just imagining this scene made An Wujiu feel unacceptable.

In his life, the true and false, the false and true, everything is unclear and unreal. His feet never seemed to be on the ground.

Especially when facing Shen Ti, An Wu Jiu always had a sense of unreality, as if the person in front of him was not real, but was created by him.

There will not be a person in the world who exactly meets all his requirements, even his name is his motto.

He didn't want Shen Ti to disappear.

"Player loaded."

The long-lost holy sound appears.

"First of all, welcome all survivors to this warm-up round."

The room is not big, twelve people unconsciously surrounded the round altar in the middle.

"You have won many times at the altar, and you have also failed. You have a precious opportunity to start over, so this round of the game, please play your spirits."

"Because, it is very likely that you will be pushed out by the people around you and become a sacrifice if you are not careful."

After hearing this, An Wujiu frowned slightly.

Offering…

"Then, let me introduce you to the rules of the warm-up game."

As soon as the voice fell, a blue flame suddenly burned in the round altar, and the flame burned high, illuminating nearly half of the room.

A crystal ball appeared directly above the flame, and there seemed to be some kind of pattern reflected in the ball, which was golden.

"Is that the Golden Mountain?"

Noah spoke without hesitation.

"That's right." The Voice answered her question.

"What you are facing is an altar, you have seen it, the golden mountain is reflected in the crystal ball, this is a reward for you, a total of 60,000 points."

As soon as these words came out, all the players had different expressions.

"So many..."

"All for the winner?"

The warm-up matches have monetary rewards.

And there are so many, on average, each person can get five thousand.

An Wujiu did not believe that such a good thing would happen.

Sure enough, the next sentence of Shengyin broke their fantasy.

"These 60,000 points are not directly given to you, and you need your generosity."

At the same time, four frosted glass walls suddenly appeared on the floor, surrounding the round altar burning with blue flames. There is a small door on one side.

"The rules of this game are very simple. You can see it as a sacrifice, but neither blood nor your life is needed, but the points in your hands."

Soon, a badge appeared on each of them, marked with a number and name, each person's number is different, An Wu Jiao is No. 1.

"Each of you go in according to the number on the badge, face the altar, take out your points, and sacrifice. No one else can see how much you have sacrificed, which is equivalent to anonymous."

It appears to be a test of trust.

"If the total points of each of you sacrificed exceeds 48,000 points, then after the sacrifice ceremony, each of you will receive the reward given to you by God, five thousand per person integral."

"On the contrary, if the total amount is less than 48,000, then all the points you donated will be swallowed up and will not be returned."

Nan Shan raised her hand slowly, "Excuse me, what are the conditions for the winner?"

"It's very simple, first of all, your total must be reached, otherwise there will be no winners in this round of warm-up. If it is achieved, think about it, each of you has received a reward of 5,000, then less If you go to sacrifice, you will have a remainder in your hand, of course, there may not be, or even a debt."

"The winner is simple, the player with the most remainder wins. If there is more than one, it's a tie."

“Everyone decides the format of this round together, and individual advantages are automatically transformed into conditions favorable to the group.”

"After you understand the rules of the game, everyone, you have thirty minutes to think and discuss."

A familiar countdown projection appears above them.

"Start now."

The author has something to say:

The model of this game is derived from the public goods game model, but that will add value, and it is not completely a type. I think it's more like the saying ""One monk fetches water to eat, two monks carry water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat".
