Chapter 18

You can put yourself into a certain role, but you can't really become that game character and make a choice.

Therefore, after some choices and thinking, Ming Mu chose to go to the outer city to participate in the "Search for Paradise Terrorists" operation and temporarily become the consultant of the Mu family superpower team.

But after participating in the entire operation, he found that something was wrong with him and he was deceived.

This operation was not a "search for paradise terrorists" at all. It was clearly an attack on superpower teams and soldiers of other families under the banner of searching for terrorists.

The suppression of bandits is fake, and the civil war is real!

The players who discovered this situation also suddenly realized it in combination with some details revealed in the previous main storyline.

It turns out that they have been kept in the dark like the protagonist, and they don't know how many times they have helped these superpower families.

Some plot parties and detail parties have collected details in the previous main storyline and copywriting that were not noticed by most players, and organized them into complete events and put them on the player forum.

These events include but are not limited to: superpower families seize the industries of civilians in the inner city, coerce talents to work for them or transfer technology, seize the market through tough means, privately hire spies and assassins to assassinate and sabotage hostile forces, support gangs and executioners...

[Good guy, I thought only Paradise was the villain, now it seems that everyone in Star City is a villain! ]

["12+" game? "18+" game! ]

[Fuck her, I can't stand it, all of them eat my one million horsepower! ]

[This... Isn't this better? Since everyone in Star City is a villain, then I will put "Wangxing", "White Snake", "Yunmo"... all in the small black room and instill justice. Although that "Su Feng" is dressed too tightly, he also has some looks, so I'll catch him together, hehehe——]

[It doesn't matter, I'm the same! ]

[Who said that? Although Su Feng is a villain, I still feel quite bitter! 】

While the players were either going crazy or joking, Ming Mu, who was in a dilemma after participating in the entire operation, found Qianxue again.

As the young master of the Mu family in Xingcheng and the actual leader of the Mu family in the future, Qianxue was the actual planner of the "search operation" a day ago.

Although the superpowers of the Mu family did not have an advantage in the battle with other families in that "search operation", and even lost several superpowers, she had already figured out the details of the superpowers of other superpower families.

Therefore, the Mu family did not lose, but won!

Standing on the observatory that can observe the entire starry sky, Qianxue looked up and looked at the stars in silence.

Ming Mu's arrival did not make her look back.

"We are friends, but you deceived me."

Ming Mu said.

"I have never lied to you. My goal has always been to maintain order in Star City."

"So you planned the action the day before yesterday, letting the superpowers kill each other?"

Looking at the inner city area full of prosperity and civilization with lights flickering under the starry sky, Qianxue finally looked at Mingmu.

Mingmu's face was childish, but full of stubbornness.

In a trance, Qianxue thought of her younger brother.

The younger brother who used to surround her, pull her skirt and call her sister, and beg her to tell stories.

But in the superpower distortion fifteen years ago, he turned into particles and disappeared in front of her.

"Five hundred years ago, the founders of Star City came to this land far from the center of the world. They were guided by the stars and built Star City under the witness of the stars."

"They reclaimed land and wasteland, fought monsters and super-powered beings, and opened their doors to welcome other refugees. Star City expanded little by little until it became what it is now."

Qianxue's tone was calm and profound. The evening breeze gently blew through her long blue and white hair. She stood on the observatory and described a past to Mingmu and the players who were watching behind him.

"The ancestors had imagined that they could achieve continuity by establishing a co-governed Star City, but this fantasy was proven wrong when the first super-energy distortion outbreak almost cut off the development of Star City."

"The expansion of super-energy families, the increase in population, advanced technology, and the increasingly large outer city area... As time goes by, these once insignificant problems have become tumors that Star City must deal with."

"The natural disaster predicted is also gradually approaching, and Star City must cut off these tumors, no matter what the cost."

The super-energy distortion 15 years ago brought indelible pain to Star City, and was forever engraved in Qianxue's heart, becoming an indelible nightmare under her cold face.

Ming Mu heard the trembling in Qianxue's tone in a trance.

As the truth was revealed, the players who were playing through this plot fell into a long shock.

"The more people gather in a region, the more developed the technological output and productivity, the more the world will change and the balance will tilt, and superpowers will emerge."

"Star City has already reached its upper limit."

"The upper limit represents imbalance and the shaking of order."

"The heads of the Mu family all remember a legend that has been passed down from generation to generation. It is said that a long time ago, there was an extremely developed civilization. The footsteps of this civilization spread all over the world of Terra. In the center of that world, there was a miracle city."

"Technology and knowledge, faith and mystery gathered there, until one day a rift tore it apart. It was a huge rift that almost split the entire world in two."

"A huge rift made up of pure superpowers."

[Host, this is most of the background settings that Tianmi has announced so far. 】

In the Paradise headquarters in the suburbs, Su Feng was silent about something that even he had not decided on.

That is Paradise, and whether he has the ability to take the people in the outer city to leave Star City and build a new city in the wilderness?

Chapter 29 Paradise Camp Favorability: -20

Su Feng knew that he had never been a qualified leader.

The planning of Paradise, the arrangement of personnel, and the arrangement of various affairs in the organization... Su Feng needed to spend a lot of time every day to barely handle these things, and he thought he did not handle them very well.

And he never thought of being a leader.

He is so bad, so ordinary... How can he be qualified to be a leader who guides people forward.

But every time he sees the smiles of the children in the outer city and the gleaming light and expectation in the eyes of those who believe in him, Su Feng knows that since he is already in this position, he must be responsible.

Responsible for the paradise he built and for the people who believe in him.

He must do his best, even if he can't do it.

This is his obligation and responsibility as the leader of the paradise.

"The dispute initiated by the Superpower Family is over, and the outer city has been restored to safety. Let people go back first, and the paradise will help them rebuild the damaged houses."

Waving his hand, Su Feng said with a gentle smile like spring breeze, "The dispute is over" and "People are safe", but he knows in his heart that safety is only temporary.

The population that Star City can carry has reached the upper limit stipulated by Star City. Sooner or later, the residents living in the outer city will be forcibly expelled or even killed.

This day is definitely not far away.

Su Feng must prepare for it.

Either all the people in the inner city and the core area are killed to make room for the people in the outer city.

Or the people in the outer city leave Star City and go to other places to build cities, so that Star City can get rid of the crisis beyond the limit.

"System, I am really... an unreasonable person."

Looking at the residents of the outer city who bid farewell to the members of the paradise outside the window, Su Feng took out his travel notes.

This note was recorded during his travels over the years.

It contains his feelings after arriving at a place, as well as records and observations of the strange scenes in a place, and some thoughts and ideas in daily life.

Overall, it is a hodgepodge, with map components, diary components, and terrain survey components.

In this note, Su Feng quickly locked on a place.

It was an oasis in the vast desert. The lake water in the oasis was clean and clear, originating from unpolluted groundwater deep underground. There were trees and weeds growing around it, and there was also a lot of land suitable for farming.

Su Feng once found this oasis when he was almost lost. Now he has replenished resources there and left good memories.

The most important thing is that the area is hidden, not far from Star City, and close to the "City in the Mountains".

It is an ideal area for building a city.

Su Feng decided to go there again after helping the people in the outer city to resettle.

"What's going on? How come there are people in the outer city again after the main task is over?"

"Zhao Hu Lu Hua Piao" who was collecting materials for his next video looked at the residents who returned to the outer city curiously.

It may be the unparalleled ability of the detail party to capture, "Zhao Hu Lu Hua Piao" soon discovered an interesting phenomenon.

Compared with the respectful but conscious and arrogant demeanor of the residents in the core area, and the respectful and yearning eyes of the residents in the inner city, the residents in the outer city were quite cautious and seemed to be dodging.

Some even showed disgust and rejection.

This was something she had never seen in the city.

Thinking of the damage done to the buildings in the outer city by the Super Power Family in the main mission just now...

"Imitating others" instantly realized that there were still many details that could be explored, and there might be very explosive information hidden!

So she immediately gave up the "What is the order and disorder in Qianxue's eyes in "Super Power Disorder"" that she was making, and turned her attention to the outer city.

At the same time, Tuyu, who had been rushing to the main story, also finished the main story of this version.

[Please explore the future plot later~]

There was no way, in order to maintain the popularity of her live broadcast room and not let the live broadcast room have no content to do, Tuyu turned her attention to the side quests.

She had already completed all the side quests in the core area and the inner city.

Now the only thing left was the quests in the outer city.

"Well, let me see..."

Looking at the rows of quests in the outer city in the quest list, Tuyu randomly picked a name that looked more interesting.

[The boy who follows the light]

"It's you!"

According to the instructions of the quest, Tuyu soon found a boy who stood out in the crowd on the side of a street.

The boy had smooth light brown short hair, and his brown eyes flashed with extremely strong confidence and enthusiasm. He was holding a notebook in his hand and talking to passers-by while taking notes.

He seemed to be doing something.

However, after seeing Tuyu approaching, his expression suddenly changed, and he put away his notebook and disappeared into the alley on the side.

Rabbit Fish chased into the alley smoothly and naturally, showing a wicked smile, saying: "Oh, man, you have successfully attracted my attention."

This kind of program effect naturally caused the audience to laugh, and they said, "The male frequency and the domineering president flavor are too strong."

The whole live broadcast room was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Rabbit Fish chased all the way from the alleys in the outer city to the suburbs, and finally saw the boy again in the area near the edge of the map.

At the same time, a 3-meter-high behemoth next to the boy was also seen.

It was a simple mecha made of mechanical splicing.

The eyes of the mecha flashed with a faint green light, staring straight at Rabbit Fish.

In an instant, Rabbit Fish felt that her heartbeat almost stopped.

She had encountered the mecha in front of her in the "Lightless Prison" plot and was beaten up by it.

[Quack! It's the BOSS who beat the anchor to his knees and humiliated him severely! The anchor quickly retreats! ]

[Yes, it is the big BOSS. It is waiting for the anchor here. It must beat the anchor to his knees again and humiliate him twice! ]

[Don't panic, Rabbit Fish. Things change over time. It's not too late to run now. ]

The audience in the live broadcast room started to make a noise, and the live broadcast room became more popular again.

Seeing this, Rabbit Fish did not retreat. Instead, he walked towards the boss calmly and gestured in the live broadcast room.

"The past is the past, and the present is the present."

"Just because I couldn't beat this tin can before doesn't mean I can't beat it now."

"Now let this BOSS feel the horror of the fourth disaster..."

After a while, a red failure interface popped up on Rabbit Fish's screen.

She was on it, and she was gone.

Then she saw a line of annotations that he had ignored before under the description of the [Boy Chasing the Light] mission.

(This mission requires [Paradise] camp favorability: neutral)
