Chapter 259 Conspiracy and Celicia and the Meat Grinder

"Player Super Justice ()"

In fact, Annan is still a little worried about whether the players can really bring Celicia back smoothly.

Celicia is a real celebrity in the underground world.

——"The digger among the diggers", "The Poppy in the deep rock", strong, free and beautiful, neither greedy nor cowardly, with strong desires, but also lucky enough... Firmly follow the dream, forever Young people who are endlessly exploring new worlds.

There is no doubt that she is a superstar who fits perfectly with the values ​​of the underworld.

Regardless of gender, regardless of age... Everyone wants to be Celicia, and everyone wants to be Celicia.

Every child has a dream of adventure.

Either as magnificent as an epic, or as romantic and warm as a fairy tale.

But this adventure dream gradually grows up after they realize that travel and adventure are not as beautiful as they imagined, and realize that they have their own life plans... After realizing that they have no money, time, energy and skills, this is not the case. The actual adventure dream will naturally dissipate.

The Silver Brigade is different.

They are living legends.

It can even be said that the reason why many young girls want to become diggers is because of Celicia's infection.

If there is a unified government in the underground world, then Celicia will definitely become a high-level figure at the spokesperson level - just to allow them to continue their adventures, they will give them a lot of money.

Because if the story of the "Silver Brigade" ends here, it may even indirectly affect the development of the underground world to slow down and stagnate.

Digging is not an easy job.

Not even the word "dangerous" sums it up perfectly.

A set of exploration gear, including lanterns and anchor points, and enough rations and water for a week—not to mention a tent, not even a sleeping bag.

If you want extra equipment, go to the only designated store to buy it yourself.

Including tents, sleeping bags, portable bandages, nutritional supplements, extra light sources, anti-cutting gloves, and other equipment "convenient for diggers to carry out exploration operations", the variety is quite complete and the performance is really good.

But if you want to buy them all, you need a lot of money. Take bandages, light sources and other goods as an example, their prices are more than double the price of similar items on the ground.

You must know that this is the underground world with the most convenient transportation, the "world center" in the true sense.

Because of the subways connecting various countries, the prices of many goods here are not much more expensive than those in the local production area, and even cheaper because of the huge import volume at one time. The underground world also has a "wise man" mechanism, which is the most wise man among the powers in every country - no one.

These wise men have indeed developed many advanced equipment for exploration and excavation. The advanced level is very high, and it is undoubtedly the world's leading level.

But the equipment used to sell to the vast majority of "amateur diggers" is not only not cheap, but more expensive; not only more expensive, but even limited...

But in any case, "diggers" are also the only way out for those who are not smart enough, have no talent, and have not received a higher education in the underground world, and want to become a big man - it is essentially a life-threatening gamble.

And from this point of view...

On the one hand, the wise men hope that the diggers can help them explore more land; on the other hand, they do not want the number of diggers to become too many—at least they should always control that the overall number of diggers is less than that of the wise men.

The wise man holds many barriers such as law, medical care, education... But the security, finance, and most importantly, the ownership of the city belongs to the diggers.

Generally speaking, diggers usually know their own brains and do not interfere too much with the policies pursued by wise men. If the digger he assists is too stupid or tyrannical, the wise man will just leave from here.

So a city may not have wise men, but it must have its own diggers. Even if the ownership is sold to the wise,

Let this wise man also act as a digger, or if the original owner dies unexpectedly, it must have a digger. It is nothing more than whether the digger is in the city.

But in any case, one thing cannot be changed - the diggers are much richer than the wise ones.

Once the number of diggers is so large that there are more than one digger in some cities, the voice of "wise men" in the city will be significantly reduced. The political structure of this underground city will become closer and closer to that of the city on the earth... The diggers will gradually become "lords", and the wise people will transform from "substantially in power" to "assistants".

So all they can do... is to control the number of diggers.

How to control it?

It's very simple... it's to control the amount of "high-quality equipment" on the market.

Using the legend of Celicia, it seduces a large number of teenagers who have no learning, scientific research, and political talents, and who cannot become "wise men" to become diggers. At the same time, further control of the amount of "high-quality equipment" spread to the market ensures that only a small number of people can become diggers.

What about the rest?

Naturally died.

Each digger can receive a ritually positioned beacon every time they come back to resupply, so that they can "save their progress" when they return.

However, the "missing" rate in the first month of the excavator's departure was as high as 70%. On average, each digger can install less than three beacons.

That is to say, due to the dilution of data from a large number of positioning beacons installed by many experienced diggers and "exploration groups" in groups, the vast majority of diggers still do not have the ability to return three times.

In the first month, many diggers will give up...or simply die in the lightless underground.

Once they lose the light source, they can never find their way back; in the absence of maps and buildings, only a messy exploration layer, they may lose their way at any time - food and water are likely to be insufficient, or even possible It was snatched by other diggers; occasionally, some monsters appeared in the shallow layer of the exploration layer, and it was impossible for ordinary people to defeat them.

Their "romantic and great" exploration career has a mortality rate far higher than that of the battlefield.

And their survival rate is even strictly controlled - it is impossible to explore valuable things without equipment. After all, this is not a stand-alone game... As long as their efficiency lags behind the same period, the "treasure" will be discovered first.

These young amateur diggers, of course, will gradually realize... This is the conspiracy of the wise. But if they live long enough, they can gradually gather a set of equipment...for example, from the dead body.

When they truly became "diggers" and returned home, their positions immediately changed.

Not only do wise men dislike superfluous diggers, but diggers themselves don't want their peers to snatch their power—the diggers are all equal in power. As long as there is one more person, it means that half of his power will be divided; if there are two more diggers, he can even steal a city directly.

No matter how much they hated the conspiracy to "control the number of diggers" back then, they would either actively or silently pursue it.

This is a real meat grinder.

The tunnel was dug by a large number of "preparatory diggers". Generation after generation of young people, exhausting their lives in search of wealth, who may become "diggers" can only be the first person to insert coordinates at the destination.

If you are lucky enough, maybe you will wake up sooner, and you will have a life when you come back;

From this point of view.

Celicia may also be considered one of the murderers, or at least an accomplice.

Although she didn't do anything herself, before she entered the underground world, such a tradition had been formed for generations... but the survivors full of hatred would not be reasonable.

——Because the deeds of Celicia, the "Captain in the Stone", have directly led to another "Tide of Diggers" in the underground world.

A large number of children have lost their parents.

A large number of parents have lost their children.

The wife who lost her husband, the younger brother and sister who lost her brother... At the same time as the underground world ushered in an unprecedented wave of development, different tragedies are also being staged here.

In fact.

The people who wanted to kill Celicia...perhaps more than the people who fell in love with her.

Not to mention...

Today's Celicia has given up the power of destiny brought to her by the treasure ship "Silver" and returned to the silver rank.
