One day, a survival game suddenly descended, causing global panic. A certain slacker office worker, involuntarily drawn into the game, fell into deep contemplation as she looked at the transparent ...
Chapter 188 Crazy Real World
"Pick up the bowl to eat the meat, put down the chopsticks to curse your mother. I'm talking about you, right?"
When a bad person does a good thing, he will be forgiven by the world, but once a good person makes a mistake, he will be despised by the world.
Public opinion is dominated by those who have survived by chance and are grateful for survival games, so that other people who have negative views on survival games are gradually assimilated.
But those who were killed by the game and paid the price with their blood and lives will never be able to speak again.
Of course, there are still rational groups who do not deny that the game does do a good thing, but this good thing is based on the sacrifice of other players.
Netizen Manchangge wrote: "I feel that our minds are gradually being infiltrated by games. Survival games are trying to rationalize and normalize our existence."
Netizen Lufeng Xiaojunyan commented: "Those who praise survival games, are they mentally ill? They've been so brainwashed and yet they have no sense of vigilance at all?"
Netizen Qi Xiaoha said: "I also feel that if the benefits we survivors get are based on sacrificing other players, then I would rather not have it."
Netizen ANL Naopo: "Wow, a bunch of madame cancers appeared in the comment section again?"
"Anyway, you're the one benefiting now, so of course you can say whatever you want. If you have the guts, just stay out of the game and let other players deal with you."
Netizen PTU367: "Brainless. Games are all about the survival of the fittest. Those who can't adapt to such a simple and crude screening method should give up on survival as soon as possible. Little sheep are not suitable for living in the new era of games."
Netizen biubiu001: "The person above, when you become the one who is screened one day, I hope you can still maintain this view."
Some people feel that games provide another possible form of their lives.
Some people feel that the game is a slap in the face and a sweet treat for them, and they need to be wary of being infiltrated and domesticated by the other party's thoughts.
Just when Zhen Jinli was still trying to find a way to guide public opinion, Bluestar Capital went public.
This venture capital company registered in Country A did not go public to attract capital when it was at the peak of its popularity in the past few years, but now it has been listed.
Blue Star Capital also released news that its products include a survival game app.
At the same time, they also proposed a concept called "new universe", which is an extra-dimensional space parallel to the real world, which can bring users an immersive gaming experience.
However, this new universe allows people to enter and exit with their real physical identities, which is the survival game they have already experienced.
In other words, survival games are the new universe, a kind of world-leading high-tech. They hope to use such technology to bring better development to mankind.
For a time, media reports praising the survival game flooded in.
They touted survival games as the light of humanity.
It is precisely because of the screening mechanism of the survival game that those who are old, weak, sick and disabled and cannot bring more economic value to society can be reasonably screened out in advance.
Those elderly people who were screened out saved the government a lot of pension money.
Those weak people who were screened out saved the welfare agencies a lot of social maintenance fees.
And they can use this money to create better social welfare for those who are still alive.
They have thrown all the people-oriented and humanitarian concerns out the window, and they are so insignificant that they are not worth mentioning.
"The future will be an era where profit takes priority and capital is king."
"The weak will only slow down the progress of mankind. They do not deserve to live in this new era."
"Next, the strong will become even stronger, all resources will be tilted towards the strong, and the strong will lead humanity into a brand new era."
"We should be grateful to survival games for providing us with this kind of screening and resource reorganization, because this is an inevitable result of the progress of human civilization."
Such spine-chilling media comments were rampant, and many people who originally insisted that survival games should be despised could not help but be shaken by them.
Could it be that what they were thinking was wrong, and what the survival game was doing was right?
With the support of positive public opinion, the share price of this leading stock with the new universe concept rose sharply by 1237% as soon as it was listed.
Bluestar Capital’s market value exceeded 10 trillion yuan, directly ranking among the top three large companies in the world.
Zhen Jinli was dumbfounded when she read all the reports about Blue Star Capital.
She couldn't understand why anyone would buy Blue Star Capital stock. Was she crazy?
Give the enemy money so that they can develop better weapons and methods to kill you?
Now, Blue Star Capital has not only taken away countless lives on the earth, but also reaped trillions of funds.
It seems that Si Yao has not recovered his memory yet, and the enemy's power is growing. What should she do?

While eating, Zhen Jinli ate his rice intermittently, and would fall into a daze from time to time.
Li Zhen looked at Zhen Jinli with some concern and said, "Aunt, are you okay?"
Zhen Jinli came back to his senses, exclaimed, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Zhen reminded her: "You are holding the chopsticks upside down, and you have been eating air for a long time."
"Oh." Zhen Jinli quickly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and ate it, then took a big mouthful of rice.
It’s a pity that while she was eating, she started to eat air as if she was in a ghost wall.
Song Tianlan looked at Zhen Jinli helplessly and called her, "Xiao Li."
Zhen Jinli came back to his senses and quickly said seriously, "Brother Song, what's wrong?"
Song Tianlan put down his bowl and chopsticks, folded his hands and supported his chin, looking at her seriously.
"If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me."
Zhen Jinli put down her bowl and chopsticks somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to be distracted while eating."
Song Tianlan shook his head and said, "I'm not blaming you. I just want you to speak out what's on your mind."
"I'm worried about you when you're like this."
Zhen Jinli sighed and said, "I just don't understand why the survival game has claimed so many lives."
"When everyone knew that the culprit who took the lives of their friends and family was Blue Star Capital, their first reaction was not to destroy the company."
"Instead, they rushed to buy the company's stock, pushing up the company's share price."
Zhen Jinli looked up at Song Tianlan in confusion and muttered.
"Brother Song, can you tell me what's going on in this world?"
Song Tianlan looked at Zhen Jinli, who was now confused and powerless, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.
"In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that the same thing has happened in human history."
