Near the teleportation vortex in Area 12, people in uniforms stood with guns pointed at the ground.

Along the welcoming avenue covered with a red carpet, welcome cars with flowers were parked.

People's eyes were all looking in one direction - there was a very tall building with a regular plane, like a rectangular parallelepiped, with lights on it, seeping through the small grids.

On the hung screen, the Future Self-Rescue Conference of Humanity has already entered its conclusion. Some people chose to stay and attend the meeting, while others chose to leave directly. Those who left directly would get on the welcome car and return to the teleportation vortex.

.

At this time, on the screen, a young man in a white suit, bathed in light, was saying goodbye to others with a smile.

"Won't the first player stay for the banquet?" People's regretful voices came from the screen.

"No, the meeting was exciting. That's enough. I still need to go back and improve my ideas." The first player said with a smile: "After all, this collision of your thoughts has really given me some other insights."

"You are really outstanding." The blond Marjorie said with a smile: "If your mother sees it, she will definitely be happy for you."

The first player smiled and said: "Really? I hope she can see it too..."

On the screen, people were coming and going.

Outside the screen, a girl with black hair, pure temperament, and a white dress was standing quietly next to the whirlpool, looking up at this scene.

Beside her, the uniformed staff reminded in a low voice:

"Miss Su Shi...Miss Su Shi?"

The girl turned her head sideways, and the emotion in her eyes seemed to come to life.

"According to regulations, you cannot come here without being invited..." the uniformed officer said awkwardly.

"Isn't the meeting over?" Su Shi's tone was very calm: "Isn't it okay if I just stand here waiting for him and look at him?"

The uniformed officer coughed and turned his head, as if he was asking for someone's opinion. The communication tool in his hand made a beeping sound, and then someone seemed to be talking to him.

After a while, he nodded:

"I understand, Miss Su Shi. However, you can only stand here, please don't run around."

"I won't run." Su Shi said, "I just want to see him."

She raised her head again.

On the screen, a woman wearing a cherry blossom kimono and holding a bouquet of blood roses caught up with the first player who was about to leave.

Her voice was very low, as if she was saying something to him excitedly.

The first player's expression remained unchanged, his attitude remained the same as before, and he communicated with her in a soft voice as if comforting a child.

Finally, he stepped out of the conference room and got on the long-awaited pick-up vehicle.

Su Shi stood quietly, shifting his gaze and looking towards the avenue.

...She was waiting for him to come over.

She held a small model in her hand, a lighthouse model, with the first player's name engraved on it. According to Qin Ze, this was the best-selling peripheral, and she must give her gift to him.

hands.

She wanted him to know...how much she had sacrificed, and how much she wanted to become the light chaser he called her.

...But this concept seems to have changed.

Confusion flashed in Su Shi's eyes - she once thought that "grading" and "preventing unsuitable people from ending up in embarrassment" was his idea, but that doesn't seem to be the case now.

He changed, became acceptable to everyone, and became a star-like existence. He said that everyone has their own value and is their own luminous body, and the one who "punishes" those people for his ideas

It seems that what I have been doing is wrong...

As she was thinking this way, she suddenly heard a system voice ringing in her ears. The voice was impassioned and not as plain as before:

[Congratulations - player Su Mingan, became the first and was promoted to a (third level) player! 】

[Honors are added to the body, glory is crowned, and hundreds of millions of creatures cheer for it!]

…

Su Shi suddenly raised his head.

She was not the only one to hear this system prompt. The world chat exploded in an instant, with all kinds of comments going up like crazy, and the whispers of uniformed personnel could also be heard nearby.

"...Sure enough, it's still Su Ming'an."

"It is said that times create heroes. I think he is that hero. In such an era, he is still the only one."

"It is said that Aiden has broken through to the second level nine, and was intercepted at this time..."

"It doesn't matter, the game has only started for more than two months now, there is still such a long time... If you die once and start over, who knows who can stand until the end? What if those players at the top of the list fail in the last copy?

What a shame... maybe someone will target you after the game is over."

"I'm very concerned about why he broke through the third level at this time? He didn't do anything else..."

"The person attending the meeting must be a clone."

"Yes, from now on, I feel that this number one player is very strange."

"It shouldn't be just us who can tell that he is not the real person, shouldn't the United Group not care either?"

"What do you care about? It doesn't matter whether you are the person or not. What matters is that the person we see now represents the title of the number one player. That's enough..."

Su Shi blinked his eyes.

She listened to the comments of the people next to her and looked at the center of her field of vision, where a dark and shiny welcome car was slowly approaching.

Rows of vehicles stopped, and apart from some other participants, she quickly found the number one player among them.

He is still the same, although everyone says he has changed, but in her eyes, he has always been the same.

Even though he is a clone now, with a gentle temperament, smooth attitude, and behavior like a real noble man, in her eyes, he is the same.

What she likes is the artwork, the first player, the different existence in everyone's eyes. As for whether the first player is Su Ming'an, whether it is Su Ming'an's body or a clone, it doesn't matter - as long as what appears in her eyes is

he.

She stood there and waited for a moment, then saw the first player walking towards this direction.

Her mood suddenly fluctuated violently, like seeing the sea for the first time, like walking into the forest for the first time, with a sense of excitement, joy, and long-awaited anticipation.

She held the gift in her hands, her eyes shining, like a believer about to present his tribute.

The next moment, she heard a violent sound:

"——Boom!"

The sound was dull, like something hitting the wall. The source of the sound was not far from here, like an inconspicuous building next to it.

The next moment, a figure appeared in everyone's eyes. He seemed to have escaped suddenly. He was still wearing a baggy white hospital gown, and his arms were wrapped with freshly torn straps. He was desperately moving towards this direction.

As he ran, he howled like a wolf:

"——Help, help!"

The people here were alert for a moment, and many of them clenched their weapons.

"Save me! I can't escape, I can't escape - this damn game, it will always be with me! We have no tomorrow, humans have no tomorrow -"

As he spoke, his facial features distorted with the violent shouting. He rolled and rushed towards this side, as if he wanted to ask for help. His voice was so loud that all those who were still discussing were silenced for an instant.

The participating players who had just gotten off the bus also stood there with puzzled faces, asking the members of the joint group what was going on with their eyes.

...human trials?

That's not the case, the main god's space does not allow attacking each other, not even the slightest act of showing blood, let alone cutting a knife on someone else's body.

At this moment, the people following behind also arrived in time and subdued the crazy man in an instant. Behind them, there was a woman crying softly, who seemed to be the mother of the crazy man.

"This is a patient from the Mental Health Committee of the United Regiment." Next to Ming, Liu Jiahe, director of the General Political Department, was explaining to him: "Players who are on the verge of mental collapse often come to us for help. For their health and safety, our

Doctors will give them timely treatment."

The man was quickly dragged back. His limbs were shaking like chaff, and he looked like he was not a normal person.

Next to him, his mother, who was crying softly, also walked back with others and walked into the inconspicuous construction area. Soon, everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

"Situations like this often happen." Liu Jiahe said solemnly: "People who have experienced the real fantasy world and pain will become more and more mentally stressed... In such an abnormal world, staying normal will change everything.

It became a very difficult thing.”

He looked at Ming's expression and said: "...Even players who think they have no problem will suddenly collapse without warning at some critical moments. The spiritual field is a field that is difficult for us to explore, and psychological problems

Whatever the problem is, there is no quick and effective solution other than timely adjustments."

"Is that the one just now?" Ming smiled: "It does look scary."

"Yes, even Iris, a former top player, had a similar experience." Liu Jiahe emphasized his tone, as if he wanted to highlight the key points of his words:

"——The stronger the player, the greater the probability of causing this problem."

…

Su Mingan sat on the bed in her personal space and started using points.

He was going to see if the looted props and equipment could be sold. Sure enough, he got a negative answer.
