Urban Sims

Dragon Blue Castle.

On the rooftop terrace.

"Do you really want to go?"

Lan Mengxin walked over and asked the man leaning on the edge, with no other expression on his face except a trace of seriousness.

Zhou Ming turned to look at the woman, knowing that he couldn't hide his thoughts from her, so he nodded and said: "Yes, I want to go there and see if I can do something to see if it can be done."

Seeing some disappointment on the woman's face, he added: "I will come back. If there is time, I should be able to come back."

Lan Mengxin still shook her head, looked into the man's eyes, and said with great solemnity: "I know what you want to do, and I have never stopped you... But this time, I really hope you don't go, I Danger is foreseen, danger that cannot be dealt with, danger that is impossible to overcome.”

"You go and you can never come back."

The woman frowned, and her beautiful face showed a hint of pleading, hoping that the man could stay.

She didn't say anything like "for me and the children" to save her. It was meaningless. They had been married for nearly half a century, and their children had grown up and started families. If she said such words again, it would only appear weak and childish, and it would give the impression that While the man is adding to his troubles, he is also unwilling to listen.

The only reason why she stopped the man was because she truly saw the irresistible danger. Even if the man was full of skills and abilities and became the richest man in the upper class, she was still clear about the unknown future. I saw the scene of this man with a sad face and finally fell into a pool of blood.

She didn't know what kind of ability it was, to predict the future? Danger perception? not sure.

In short, her eyes can see through the soul and also see some of the things that soul will encounter in the future.

This ability, for decades, has never gone wrong.

But this time, it was so intense that the image often appeared before her eyes and played in her dreams, making her toss and turn and feel uneasy.

So for the first time she stops men from doing it.

"I--"

Zhou Ming opened his mouth and looked at the woman, having a fierce ideological struggle in his mind.

He understood what Lan Mengxin meant. The woman who knew him best had never held him back in the slightest, or interfered with any of his decisions, no matter what she said or did for decades.

Even after developing the game "Arrival" and creating so many innocent souls in each game, she didn't say anything. She just ignored him for three days, and then put most of her energy into the education of her children. They are strictly prohibited from gambling.

In many things, even if this woman doesn't agree with him, she won't stop him.

Because she knew she couldn't stop him, even if the place he wanted to break into was a mountain of swords, a sea of ​​fire, and hell.

This time, for the first time, she persuaded him not to go.

He also said that he saw dangers that he could not cope with...

Zhou Ming shook his head with a wry smile on his face.

Danger.

Why doesn't he know the danger?

The gamers in the upper area had already taught him how powerful some characters were. When he reached the top area, he didn't know what kind of monsters he would encounter.

etc!

Top floor area?

A district above the upper district?

Yes, that's right!

The upper area is not the end of this world yet.

Above the upper area, there is also a top area.

The top-level area that truly controls all resources or rules in this world!

Only those who enter the top zone can be said to be truly standing at the highest point of the world. Standing in front of the sand table, overlooking all living beings, they can adjust the rules and permissions at will, and control the fate of millions of people in the blink of an eye. The superior one.

Such ultimate superiors are called "elders" by people in upper-level areas.

This type of "elder" will emerge from among the millions of people in the upper area approximately every one hundred years.

The conditions for its production are also extremely harsh.

There are two.

1. Control all resources in the resource exchange.

2. The amount of money in hand (liquid cash) exceeds 10 billion.

The first of these two conditions is the prerequisite for negotiation and dialogue with the top-level district elders.

The second item is the minimum cost for gaming after entering the top zone.

In addition, there is another rule that when these two conditions are met, if the promoted person still does not enter the top level area within half a year, then after the time limit is exceeded, all the assets owned by the promoted person will be returned to zero.

Therefore, the dilemma before Zhou Ming is: either enter the top area; or waste all previous efforts and everything will return to zero.

Some people may ask, is Zhou Ming stupid? He doesn't know how to divide his property, open a few more accounts, make the current cash flow less than 10 billion, or leave a few resources without acquiring them, just leave them there, how can all his efforts be wasted?

People who think this way have too simple and simple ideas. How could this world leave such obvious loopholes for you to exploit?

There is a provision in the "Game Law": For those with a net worth of more than 10 billion, the assets will be frozen and cannot be divided. Even if they are given to relatives, the ownership attributes of these assets will not change (for example, if you give your son 10 Yuan, that 10 Yuan is still your money).

So now Zhou Ming is in a dilemma.

Taking one step forward is very dangerous, and nine times out of ten, you may die (Lan Mengxin's prediction ability has never been wrong, and its accuracy is a bit weird, so Zhou Ming believes in it).

Taking a step back, all his assets were reduced to zero, and he became the biggest loser in the "reshuffle" process. This made him a little unwilling. After all, these assets, but he had lived for more than a hundred years, and he was fortunate to work hard. The results came out (he won’t die even if he dies. Lan Mengxin still has millions of private money in hand. When he returns to zero, he can just ask her to give some to him).

It is impossible for Zhou Ming to wait another hundred years. In reality, he still has many things to do and cannot waste too much time.

And in this game, he was not willing to experience it for more than two hundred years and end up becoming an old monster.

Even with his current life, he is very satisfied.

Because to be honest, there is really no point in living too long, just waiting to die. Vibrant highlight moments are sometimes more meaningful.

Therefore, people are a contradictory body. When they are at ease, they want to find a little excitement. It is too exciting, but they also feel that it is good to live a life of ease. Over and over again, they end up unable to stop, and they want to die.

But Zhou Ming really had no choice. In this game, it would be best if he could clear the level directly. If not, he also hoped to be fully prepared for subsequent levels.

At least, you need to enter the top zone to get the redemption rights for upper zone maps and character cards, and gain a higher starting point.

After considering all aspects, Zhou Ming decided to enter the top-level area to familiarize himself with the environment there, explore the minefields there, and collect some valuable information.

Even if it is full of danger.

Seeing this plan in Zhou Ming's heart, Lan Mengxin, knowing that he could no longer persuade him, shook his head gently, looking extremely disappointed.

…

In the nearly half a year since then, Zhou Ming has been making various preparations to enter the top-level area. On the other hand, perhaps to make up for his debt to his family, or to make up for his debt to his wife Lan Mengxin, Zhou Ming would go there whenever he had time. He took her to travel around the mountains and rivers, but Lan Mengxin was not very interested. After playing twice, he was unwilling to go again and was in a very low mood.

Zhou Ming couldn't think of a better way to comfort her. Even seeing his wife's appearance, he gave up and thought that he might as well not go to the top floor area and spend another few decades with her.

Can……

There is little love in this world that lasts forever, and there are also few unbearable separations of life and death. If you want to get something, you must give up something.

After all, a person only has two hands and cannot grasp everything.

Want to grasp everything, unless you are strong enough to grasp the whole world.

Zhou Ming could only hypnotize himself: maybe he could pass this game and become the savior of the world. After saving the world, he would find a quiet and peaceful corner to spend the rest of his life with her.

…

half year later.

After the negotiation, through Qian Yi, Zhou Ming issued a request to apply for promotion.

Two days later, a weird-looking delta-wing aircraft arrived at the Game City on Paradise Island. Under the spotlight, a well-dressed and energetic man boarded the plane and disappeared into the distant sky.

In the luxurious cabin of the plane, through the porthole, I looked at the blue sky tens of thousands of meters close to the space. I felt that under the surging power, the plane flew at an astonishing speed of more than three times the speed of sound. When I looked up, I was stunned again.

In space, a large space station, which may be composed of hundreds of space capsules, is moving in a uniform circular motion around the planet below.

The space station flashed past, waiting for the plane to lower its altitude, slow down, and fly towards the mountain below with an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, which can be called the highest peak on the planet, allowing Zhou Ming to see the top of the mountain. Zhou Ming's heart skipped a beat when he saw the building built on the top of the mountain and covered with a high-strength transparent cover.

The top floor area has arrived.

He shook the amulet that symbolized peace in his hand, put it easily in his coat pocket, and suppressed the anxiety in his heart.

"The so-called penthouse area is just a few houses built on the top of a mountain. What's there to be afraid of? What's there to worry about?"

"At most there are just a few old monsters in there. I'm an old monster too. What am I afraid of them for?"

"Big deal, kill them all!"

Coupled with the presence of the amulet woven by my wife herself, this wave should be more stable!

The ending of this game is not very optimistic. This is not because the author deliberately tortures the protagonist, because the struggle process of any character is full of dangers. If you want to clear this game directly, you have to give the villain a halo of brain damage, ignore rationality, and try his best to cheat the protagonist, but Is everyone willing to see this kind of content?
