Chapter 28 Crab Theory
The discussion on the rules of survival games on the Internet is in full swing and has almost never stopped.
Zhen Jinli sighed and said, "The notice said that the Gold Level Survival Game will start in ten days. So, the game will become increasingly difficult."
"I don't know how low the survival rate will be in this gold-level survival game."
Su Yan comforted her, "Don't worry, the survival rate will definitely be the highest when you're there."
Zhen Jinli shook his head and said, "What I'm worried about is if the game can temporarily increase or decrease the difficulty."
"Will the game block our in-game network, preventing us from sending out the survival game walkthrough in a timely manner?"
Su Yan pondered for a moment and said, "What you are worried about is indeed possible, but it may not happen."
"Why?" Zhen Jinli asked curiously.
Su Yan chuckled and replied, "Because the smooth flow of the Internet can accelerate the spread of panic in survival games around the world."
"So, I guess the mastermind behind the scenes won't easily destroy the network connection between the survival game and the real world."
"Perhaps the survival game's system is also based on this world's internet services."
Zhen Jinli nodded silently.
I hope so.

In fact, the laws of the silver-level survival game are derived from the crab theory.
When there are two or more crabs in a basket, the fisherman no longer needs to cover the basket.
Because the more crabs you put in a fish basket, the harder it is for them to get out.
As soon as a crab crawls to the exit, it will be pulled down by another crab. They will step on each other and neither will let the other out.
The players in the deadly amusement park are like crabs in a fish basket.
In Country A, someone got a pass by threatening other players, but he didn't know that a group of players who were specifically designed to snatch the passes had already ambushed at the gate.
Everyone wanted to be the first group of players to leave the amusement park, so they tried their best to kill the players who were about to pass through the gate and snatch the passes from them.
The players from Country A became the best proof of the Crab Theory. The pointless looting and killing ruined the chances of more players to leave the silver-level survival game.
A survival game that could have had a survival rate of over 90% has been turned into a hellish game with a survival rate of less than 30%.
Everyone has witnessed the poor performance of players from Country A in survival games.
So it didn't take long before the stocks in Country A began to plummet like crazy, and the circuit breakers were triggered several times.
Country A has only had one stock circuit breaker in history, but in the few short weeks when the survival game spread, Country A experienced four circuit breakers.
Even the stock god exclaimed that he had never seen such a thing in his life. According to media reports, the continuous circuit breakers of Country A's stocks have caused great panic in the global financial market.
Investors in Country A withdrew their money from the stock market and used it to buy weapons and bullets for themselves so that they could fight against other violent players in the survival game.
After two rounds of the game, as public opinion fermented, everyone gradually realized that as long as they received the protection of the wanted person in the game, they could greatly increase the probability of passing the game.
For a while, Su Yan and Zhen Jinli were silent. They went from being high-risk players wanted by the game to being popular high-level players sought after by everyone.
Those who dare to hire Su Yan are basically politicians from various countries.
As for film and television entertainment stars and internet celebrities, the one they mainly contacted was Chen Ji, also known as cosplayer Jiuyi.
As for those who contact Zhen Jinli more frequently, they are the remaining capitalists and entrepreneurs.
Even the head of the Li family, Li Jun, had contacted Zhen Jinli through the Weibo backend.
He is also her current, nominal stepfather.
Because Zhen Jinli is wanted by the entire game network, netizens now basically know that the real name of the little koi on Weibo is Zhen Jinli.
Zhen Jinli's biological father was just an ordinary truck driver in the countryside. Her mother, Lin Peiyi, left him because he liked to drink and was often violent at home.
When her parents divorced, Zhen Jinli was already in the fifth grade.
Lin Peiyi made up her mind to leave the countryside and that man even if she had to raise the child alone, so she took Zhen Jinli to the developed first-tier city - City S.
S City is a place where every inch of land is valuable. It is easy to imagine how difficult it is for Lin Peiyi, a woman who graduated from junior high school, to support a daughter who has not even graduated from elementary school.
When Zhen Jinli was in the sixth grade of elementary school, Lin Peiyi did a lot of hard work to support her, such as clothing store sales, babysitting, and part-time worker.
Zhen Jinli knew that it was not easy for her mother to make money, so she was always well-behaved and obedient, studied hard, and never made her mother worry.
Later, Zhen Jinli was admitted to the most difficult private middle school in S City.
S City Foreign Language School is a veritable aristocratic school. Students who can be admitted to this school must be both wealthy and talented, at least one of them.
The tuition fee for three years is at least 100,000, not including other accommodation fees.
Zhen Jinli knew that her mother could not afford the tuition, so she did not show any desire to go to this school, but instead began to look for other good public junior high schools.
But Lin Peiyi said: "It's okay, since you passed the exam, Mom will definitely find a way to support your studies."
Zhen Jinli actually wanted to ask her mother where she got the money to support her studies.
Later, Zhen Jinli learned that when her mother was working as a nanny in the Li family, she developed feelings for the head of the Li family.
Li Jun lost his wife in middle age and originally just wanted to find someone to take care of his family. Lin Peiyi was gentle and considerate, and she was beautiful, so she naturally became Li Jun's choice for remarriage.
It’s just that Li Jun is a person who cares about his reputation, so he can turn a blind eye to Lin Peiyi secretly using money to support Zhen Jinli.
But he couldn't accept Zhen Jinli joining the Li family.
Zhen Jinli also understood Li Jun's psychology. After all, he and his mother were married later in life, and the Li family already had a son and a daughter. It would be awkward for her to live with her mother.
She simply agreed to let Lin Peiyi and Li Jun be together and lived alone.
Anyway, she has been living in the school dormitory since junior high school. She is busy with her studies, so she doesn't mind going back to the rental house alone on weekends.
After Lin Peiyi remarried, she would take time to visit Zhen Jinli, cook for her, and remind her to study hard so that she would have more choices in the future.
Don't be like her, who has to do hard work because she has no education.
Zhen Jinli comforted her, "Mom, now that you're marrying Uncle Li Jun, you've finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel. You won't have to suffer anymore."
Lin Peiyi smiled bitterly and shook her head, saying, "You are still young. There are some things adults say that you don't understand."
