Before the safe zone was deployed, everyone was still staying in the previous silver space. Steve, who had just become the team leader, planned to use this time to hold a combat meeting.
He stood in front of the round platform, held the table with both hands, looked around and said: "I think everyone here is smart, at least smarter than me, so I won't point fingers. Everyone can speak freely, but try not to deviate from the theme. This battle
The theme of the meeting is to analyze the known rules and formulate principles for the next step, let’s get started.”
Natasha gave him a thumbs up, and then said: "That's what I like most about you, Captain, give this to Nick, he will have to talk for at least half an hour."
Steve smiled, shrugged and said, "He was not like this when we were fighting. After being the director for a long time, it is inevitable that he will have some bureaucratic habits."
Stark pressed his eyebrows with his middle finger, and returned from deep thinking. He put down his hand, tapped the table with his index finger and said: "I won't be polite to you. Regarding the rules I just heard, I really
Some ideas."
"First of all, this is the simplest zero-sum game. There can only be one winner, and the loser gets nothing. This means two things. First, we always have to grab resources from other people. Second,
, the first mover must have a huge advantage that is difficult to surpass."
"The purpose of my first point is..." Stark's eyes lingered on the faces of Peter and Steve, and then he said: "There is no way to compete with our peers, that is, other superheroes for resources.
Avoid, I wonder what you think about this?"
Steve pondered for a moment and then said: "I think our focus should be on ensuring that every game is successfully passed. After all, if we lose the game, there is nothing."
"I will not harm anyone." Peter shook his head vigorously and said, "I know I can't do it at all, no matter what the reason is."
"Okay, let's go one step further." Schiller said: "If members of other teams die, can you save them?"
Steve, Peter and Stark looked at each other, and it was Steve who said: "If he has not harmed us, then we should help as much as possible, but if he wants to do us, then don't
It’s our fault for being rude.”
Peter also nodded, and Stark rubbed his upper lip with his index finger and said: "If they haven't helped us, I won't help them. If he helps us, I will repay the kindness, but if he not only doesn't help,
If we still want to harm us, or deliberately let the enemy down to cause the game to fail, then I will take the initiative to attack."
At this time, Matt said: "If someone intentionally harms us, or simply messes up the game so that everyone loses together, then I will kill him regardless of whether the points he holds are positive or negative."
Schiller nodded, understanding everyone's principles of good and evil. In fact, this was not unexpected. Steve and Peter were very traditional decent people, Stark was relatively neutral, and Matt hated evil. As for him,
Needless to say, with Natasha, the main theme is about a person who has a grudge, revenge, and a grudge.
"Then let's make three rules." Stark held out a finger and said: "On the premise of ensuring that the interests of the winning team will not be damaged, no one will interfere with anyone's choices. If there is still power left, just save people.
Save yourself, and if you want revenge, take revenge yourself."
Natasha frowned and seemed to disagree. She said, "But if the team is reduced due to the rescue operation, wouldn't it also harm the interests of the team?"
"Someone has to take this risk." Steve pondered for a moment, then said thoughtfully: "According to the rules of the game, sometimes saving people is not entirely an act of conscience. In order to prevent negative numbers from entering the prize pool, we also have to do it for the sake of profit.
To save people, similarly, in order for the team to achieve final victory, someone may have to kill someone."
"If we involve each other, and some people don't let others save people, and some people stop other people from killing people, then I'm afraid it will only hold us back."
Peter covered his face and said: "Anyway, I won't harm others, but I have to admit that there are always black sheep, so if you want to take revenge, I'll pretend I didn't see it."
"It's better to talk about it." Matt tapped the ground lightly with his blind stick and said, "Don't wait until an emergency occurs to have a debate about good and evil on the spot."
"Then it's decided." Stark knocked on the table and said: "Everyone acts from their own position, but assume that other people's positions are neutral and will not interfere with each other's actions."
"What if there is a conflict?" Natasha asked.
“Put the best interests of the team first,” Schiller said.
Several other people looked around, looked at each other, and finally nodded, indicating that they agreed with this statement.
"Then let's talk about the second point." Stark then brought the topic back to the topic and said: "The rule that you can use points to purchase props makes the first-mover advantage accumulated in the early stage of the game unimaginable. As long as you earn enough points
If you have enough props, you will be almost invincible."
"So I think our early combat style should be more aggressive and adventurous, earn as many points as possible, and then exchange them for props."
Schiller listened quietly to Stark's summary and noticed that Stark's eyes were looking here. Schiller put his hand on his chin and said: "According to common sense, this combat strategy is correct, but carefully
Think about it, there are many questions, such as is there an upper limit on the props purchased with points? Can the props be stored in the safe area? Or must they be carried with the members?"
Schiller turned his eyes to the side, thought for a moment and then said: "The rules of the game clearly encourage fights between duelists, so I think the answer to the second question is probably that whoever redeems the item will bring it with him.
."
"Once this happens, if you are eliminated from the game, the props will be dropped along with the points, which adds another variable to the prize pool and blocks the way to hoard a large number of props."
Natasha nodded and said, "Then it is very important to reasonably allocate the points and props carriers, otherwise it is very likely to be used as a wedding dress for others."
"I always feel that it's not that simple." Peter pursed his lips and frowned and said, "The rules are indeed clear and easy to understand, and there is nothing complicated about them, but I always feel that there are still many missing areas."
Schiller spread out his arms and put his hands on the edge of the table and said: "Remember, if you see at the end of any announcement that says 'Interpretation belongs to the organizer,' then you can just assume that all of the above is nonsense.
There must be more important rules that have not been announced."
"Then let's discuss the next plan." Steve glanced at the back of his hand, and then said: "Courage, wisdom or unity, which one do you think is better to take the lead?"
"Is there any need to ask? It must be wisdom." Natasha shrugged, pointed at the people present and said: "Everyone here is smart, so intelligence quizzes or something must be more suitable for you."
"I always feel something is wrong." Stark rubbed his chin with his thumb and index finger and said, "Wisdom is also all-encompassing. It may be the simple calculation speed of the brain, it may be abstract thinking, it may also be psychological games or
Just memory or something."
"And the so-called classification of courage is even more unclear. What does it mean to be courageous? Is it the courage to save people or the courage to kill? Is it to move forward without hesitation or to suspend with a clear mind? Don't these all belong to courage?"
Several people thought about it individually, obviously imagining what kind of games there would be and which type of games would be more suitable for them.
At this time, Schiller said: "I also agree to participate in smart games first. The rules of the smart games are definitely more complicated, and we can more easily see the organizer's ideas for designing the game, so as to gain information advantage."
Just as he was talking about this, a prompt sounded in everyone's ears: "The safe zone is about to expand, ten...nine...eight...seven..."
When the ten-second countdown was over, the silver light curtain was removed, and everyone suddenly found themselves in a wooden house. Looking out the window, they were surrounded by forests, and as far as the eye could see, there seemed to be the shadow of a city-state on the mountains on the skyline.
Steve and Stark opened the door almost without thinking. After rushing out, they discovered that this was a logging camp with five rooms including a warehouse. It was surrounded by a forest processing plant, and there were also
There is a small stockyard.
"Our spawn point is good." Schiller walked out and looked at the environment and said: "It seems that there is no other safe zone around, and the resources of the forest farm are all ours."
Natasha walked out, stretched and said, "I don't know if we can make weapons here and give Tony Stark some raw materials. He can take us to the moon."
Stark lowered his head and stepped on the sand under his feet, and said: "From the landform and climate, it doesn't look like the United States, but more like Canada."
Schiller also squinted his eyes to look. At this time, the light was like early morning, with wisps of light visible to the naked eye shining from between the tall and colorful trees. The dry air was filled with coolness, and the bleak feeling of autumn came to his heart.
Suddenly, Matt, who was walking at the end, said: "There should be an inlet of a stream nearby. I heard the sound of water flowing."
Several people began to search, and soon found a clear stream not far from the camp. When Peter put his hand into the stream, he exclaimed at the coldness, and looked curiously at the various pebbles under the stream.
.
The stream is surrounded by layers of shrubs. Walking along the stream downstream, within three minutes, you will see an extremely open lake.
"This can't be Lake Superior, right?" Natasha said, arranging her hair.
"It's not that big." Peter immediately pointed out the problem and said: "If it were Lake Superior, the surrounding area should have a maritime climate, but the air is very dry, which means this lake is not big and it is almost impossible to be the Great Lakes.
, more likely to be a small lake in a national forest park."
Steve looked from a distance, then pointed across the lake and said, "Look there, is there a city there?"
He pointed to the opposite side, and saw some man-made buildings on the colorful mountains covered by deciduous forests in the distance. Peter stretched out his hand to confirm the proportions, and then said: "That's not really a city.
It's like a settlement in the mountains, I guess it's also a safe zone for a team."
Stark stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Steve, covering his eyes with his hands to block the dazzling sunlight. After looking around, he said: "If I guess correctly, there should be only so-called duelists on this earth.
One hundred teams sounds like a lot, but even if each team has six people, there are only six hundred people. If they were evenly distributed across the earth, they might never meet."
"But there is another team's safe zone in front of us, which shows that the organizers deliberately put some contestants together. Steve speculated, probably just to strengthen the competition among the contestants."
"Let's go back to the woods quickly. From the topography, we can see their camp, but they can't see ours. This is one of our advantages. It's better to stay hidden." Matt suggested.
The group of people walked back along the creek, but halfway through, Peter rubbed his belly and said, "Why do I feel a little hungry? Will I be hungry here too?"
Steve immediately turned to look at him, and Matt sighed and said, "I have felt it for a long time. Even in this world, we have to solve our basic survival needs ourselves. Do you know what this means?"
Matt raised his head and looked at the colorful forest path decorated with various leaves and shrubs. He asked and answered himself: "It means that we can only win but not lose. Once we are injured in the game and lose the ability to make a living, we will inevitably
It drags down teammates to take care of them and falls into an endless vicious circle."
