As night falls, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
After finishing practicing a set of military physical killing techniques, beads of sweat slid down Su Zhuo's forehead. The screen of the mobile phone placed far away was flashing and vibrating.
As I got closer, Tang Xiaofeng's new cute avatar flashed on the screen.
Su Zhuo picked up the phone. "Hmm?"
"Xiao Su Zhuo, look, there's a big melon on the internet!!!"
Tang Xiaofeng said something hurriedly and hung up the phone.
Su Zhuo opened his phone, confused, and saw that "War" was still the top trending search on Weibo. It had been a few days and its popularity had not dropped but had instead been getting higher and higher.
The second most searched topic is [Wei Bin was arrested?! Fans are going crazy and questioning the authorities]
This title is full of suicidal implications.
Su Zhuo clicked on the hot search, and the homepage was flooded with Weibo posts released by Wei Penang fans. The words were fierce, and they jumped up and down to tag the official accounts and news accounts and demanded an explanation. It was very chaotic.
She skimmed through it and eventually found out about it in a kind summary post.
"Let me explain the origin of the melon to some sisters who are confused.
A few days ago, after hearing that their brother's lead role in "Star Wars" had been completely cut, Vipen fans went to director Li Ang-sik and demanded an explanation. Director Li, known for his temper, didn't let them down and launched into a direct confrontation: "It wasn't editing; it was the lead actor's dismissal."
2. Wei Penang fans furiously demanded an explanation from Director Li Ang-si: Why did they fire their brother, the male lead, and drag the female lead, Su Zhuo, into the show? They claimed that Su Zhuo and Wei Penang were at odds and were deliberately targeting her. They also claimed that Director Li and Su Zhuo were involved in a shady conspiracy. Director Li responded: "Your brother is the most shameful. Stop bullying him. He's either going to fail or die."
3. At this point, Wei Peng's fans went crazy, grabbing onto that sentence and saying that Li Angsi wanted to harm Wei Peng. They called the police and said that Director Li was a sociopath. In the end, the authorities turned around and announced Wei Peng's criminal facts [hilarious family members]
4. The current progress is that this group of crazy critics went to the official to ask them to release the person, saying that their brother was wronged and that everything was a conspiracy by Su Zhuo and Director Li. If the official did not release him, it would be equivalent to being in cahoots with them.
No, I'm dying of laughter. Did Wei Pen take away the brains of these fans to say such ridiculous things?
The comments below are also very interesting.
"I like your summary, blogger. Please remember to turn off your private messages."
"The crazy fans of Wei Pen are about to arrive at the battlefield."
"It's okay, I support you blogger. If they dare to come, I will spray them until they are lazy and can't tell the difference between grains. They will go on the road with their brother."
"Where did this troll come from? What the hell are you talking about? My brother is gentle and proud, and he never does anything petty and mean. Don't use your dirty thoughts to speculate on my brother's tolerance."
"You bunch of black-hearted people, I'm so disappointed in this country. One person was blatantly slandered, while a group of people were partying all night long. Aren't you afraid that one day the blame will fall on you?"
"Go back upstairs. If you want to go blind, get treatment. Oh, I forgot. Even a doctor would shake his head and sigh when he saw your eyeballs. Did you graduate from elementary school? Gentle and arrogant are antonyms, don't you know? You never disdain to do petty theft. I can find three solid examples right here. [Picture] [Picture] [Picture] Open your dog eyes and take a look. Oh, I forgot. I'd rather be blind. [Smile]"
"Reply to that little idiot who's disappointed with his country. Come, I'll plan the immigration process for you. [Link] No thanks, get out of here."
"This is the first time I've seen someone this naive in all my time. You guys don't believe the official announcement. Seriously? Even after getting smashed in the face with a hammer, you're still strong enough to put together the words 'Dou E' for yourself. Blindness is a disease, and mental retardation is the root cause. Don't treat it, just die."
"A bunch of xxj, I'm posting this Amazon Lily announcement for you: The Queen was assassinated at 20:08 on November 9, 2021... Fortunately, Dragon Country citizen: Su Zhuo rescued her in time. For this, I would like to express my deepest gratitude! We will establish diplomatic relations with Dragon Country and provide a special supply of X energy. Dragon Country text with black text on a white background, everyone is as blind as if they were blind."
"You can't wake someone who's pretending to be asleep. The entire Dragon Nation and Amazon Lily are slandering and accusing [Smile] just to deal with their brother. I'm convinced by this logic."
"Can these brainless idiots be arrested? Eating melons is fun, but flies are disgusting. But now that Wei Peng is away, I'm actually interested in the movie. I'm going to wait for it to come out and watch it."
When Su Zhuo scanned here, he saw a message from Tang Xiaofeng on WeChat.
Tang Xiaofeng: How is it? Did you enjoy watching it?
Su Zhuo: Did you and Li Angsi come up with this together?
Tang Xiaofeng was shocked: How did you know?
Su Zhuo: Guessed.
Regarding the incident where Wei Bing was arrested for intentional homicide, everyone in the crew signed a confidentiality agreement. The only person who dared to make a fuss about it was Li Angsi.
After Tang Xiaofeng heard from Su Zhuo that Wei Bin wanted to kill her, she went to find Li Angsi. As her agent, it was her instinct to protect the artist's safety and safeguard her rights.
Li Angsi was already feeling guilty, so when Tang Xiaofeng came to him, he immediately and sincerely admitted his mistake and said that he would give 5% of the film's revenue as additional compensation.
When she heard about money, Tang Xiaofeng instantly felt that Li Angsi was much more pleasing to her eyes, but when she thought about the market for science fiction themes in China, she calmed down again.
Li Ang-si said he had a brilliant marketing plan: "Use Wei-Ping as an example." While Wei-Ping might not be a very impressive person, he does have a lot of fans. If his story were exposed and managed well, it would be a very effective marketing move.
Tang Xiaofeng's eyes lit up, thinking it was a great idea. The two veterans hit it off and immediately decided on a marketing strategy, starting the day after Su Zhuo returned and continuing until today, when it had completely exploded.
After listening to this, Su Zhuo said, "Recycling waste is good."
"Yeah, Li Angsi and I feel the same way. Don't worry, this matter will be under control tonight. The only surprise is the shocking level of Wei Peng's fans' stupidity." Tang Xiaofeng exclaimed in amazement, his tone full of gloating. "Because of them, the authorities are preparing to thoroughly clean up the entertainment industry. The investors and celebrities in the circle who got the news are probably ready to kill Wei Peng and his fans."
This is really... a pleasant surprise.

The other side.
Pu Yaolian opened her eyes again and found that there was a deep blue sky above her head, but it was not the sky.
A hood enveloped her, and a group of unidentified people wearing special protective clothing surrounded her, as if she were a lab rat on a workbench.
"Brain waves are normal."
"There are no abnormal implants in the brain."
"There are no unknown substances in the body. The aging factor has increased instantly, and the vitality has declined by nearly thirty years."
What are they talking about?
Pu Yaolian listened in confusion, and when she heard that her vitality had declined for nearly thirty years, she suddenly realized that yes, she had exchanged with the system.
She exchanged her thirty years of life for three golden fingers.
But now, the golden finger is gone, and her lifespan is gone. She hasn't even been able to contact the system for a long time.
Why is this happening? She was clearly reborn and is the daughter of Heaven. She should have incredible luck and reach the pinnacle of her life, right?
Pu Yaolian stared at the blue glass cover with wide eyes, imagining what her life would be like if she had not dealt with Su Zhuo.
With the memories of her past life, she should have avoided her scumbag boyfriend, followed the trend of rising housing prices, gained a large fortune by relying on the information gap, and lived her life calmly and elegantly.
Pu Yaolian regretted it very much.
It turns out that all the gifts from fate have a price tag from the beginning.
…………
The dawn breaks.
Su Zhuo opened his eyes on time, got out of bed, washed, exercised, and took a shower.
When everything was done and the clock struck eight, her cell phone rang. She picked it up and said, "I'm coming down."
Today is the day for filming "War". The variety show shooting location is set at a scientific research base in the far suburbs of Hai City. This base is specially used to study the adaptation of holographic technology to military exercises.
Codename: Nirvana.
It takes about an hour and a half to get from Su Zhuo's house to Nirvana Base.
Half past nine.
Su Zhuo's car drove into the Nirvana Base. Tang Xiaofeng looked out of the car in amazement. She couldn't help but take a picture of the exterior with her mobile phone and posted it on her account.
Tang Xiaofeng V: We've arrived at the filming location for "War." [Picture]
"Fuck, this is so beautiful, is this the imperial palace?"
"This seems to be a scientific research base. I remember it was called Nirvana. One of my brothers participated in the building design. He said it was based on the ancient palaces of our Dragon Kingdom, incorporating modern elements."
"Juejuezi, this variety show looks so high-end, it's worthy of being the official Dragon Country [thumbs-up]"
"But as for the research base, would letting those foreigners in lead to a leak of secrets? I'm really worried about our Dragon Country's technology being discovered."
"Silly boy, do you think the higher-ups are vegetarians? The base they can take out is definitely not that important."
"I'm not worried about leaks, I'm just worried about a certain country yelling, 'Damn! This palace and this building are our country's culture, you copied us from our country!'"
"Hahahahaha, you Korean country, just tell me my ID number."
…
The nanny car stopped in front of the Nirvana Base Building. Su Zhuo seemed to be the only car around. The accompanying staff explained: "The others will be picked up by our special car."
Su Zhuo understood.
Walking into the magnificent gate, the inside was very different from the outside and full of technology. The moment he stepped into the gate, the people around Su Zhuo suddenly disappeared and the surroundings fell into darkness.
In the darkness, a projection appeared in front of her, and at the same time, a mechanical and beautiful female voice sounded in her ears.
"Welcome Dragon Country citizen Su Zhuo to the world of 'War'. Also known as GTO, the War World represents a realistic battlefield where your five senses are as powerful as in the real world, and every death feels like a personal experience. Your mission here is to utilize all available resources to survive and win each war. You now have one minute to decide whether to join this [Second World War]. The countdown begins... 59, 58, 57, 56..."
The one-minute countdown ended, but Su Zhuo did not quit.
The system spoke again: "The system will perform a full scan of you and match you with the most suitable identity to enter the game."
A ray of blue light swept across Su Zhuo's body. She looked calm and her eyes were peaceful.
After a few seconds, the system spoke: "Su Zhuo, female, 21 years old.
Physical fitness: ???
Mental power: ???
Intelligence: 85
strength:? ? ?
Adaptation status: All. "
After saying that, a [Do you want to enter the game? Yes/No] popped up in front of Su Zhuo.
【yes】
The vision went dark again.
Netizens in the live broadcast room burst out with a string of questions.
"Can someone explain to me what's going on? I came here at the perfect time. Could it have already started?"
"No, I waited for the right moment to get in. It was pitch black at the beginning, and then there was a pitch black electronic voice introducing the game. I still didn't understand the key point."
"It feels a bit like a holographic game, but my physical and mental strength are all questionable. What the hell is that? Is the system broken?"
"Give me some explanation, it's so confusing. @Program team"
"Is this Temeow variety show going to work? @Wang Dalin, are you running out of ideas?"
The online clamor grew louder and louder, and the assistant director hurriedly ran around looking for Wang Lin.
Somewhere in the base, Wang Lin, who was temporarily acting as backstage, crossed his legs and glanced at the breathless assistant director. "You look so naive. This variety show is different from the past. There's no host or commentary. Everything depends on your own understanding."
"But netizens can't understand it. For example, Su Zhuo's data when he entered the game was all question marks except for his intelligence of 85. His identity was still complete."
"What did you say?" Wang Lin snatched the tablet from him, his eyes filled with horror. "She can't detect her physical strength, mental strength, or power. Is this girl a pervert?"
"Director Wang, please stop talking. The internet is about to explode. How about you just bear with the obligation of being the commentator for a while?" The assistant director said, and without waiting for Wang Lin to refuse, he waved his hand and several staff members rushed over and instantly turned this small place into a live broadcast room.
Wang Lin’s old face appeared in the lower right corner of the live broadcast room, blue and black, full of frustration at being forced to do something he was not supposed to do.
"Old Wang is here, hurry up and explain it to me."
"Fuck, there's a picture."
"I saw my Su Shen."
Before netizens could criticize Wang Lin, a picture appeared in the dark live broadcast room.
In the game,
Su Zhuo, who had been falling endlessly for who knows how long, suddenly saw a light of light in front of her eyes. The next second, her eyelashes fluttered and she opened her eyes. The sun shone down on her head, bringing a relaxing warmth. There seemed to be the fragrance of grass and trees wafting from under her body, and the ground was moist.
The surroundings are quiet and beautiful, like a paradise.
Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air came and hit Su Zhuo's forehead.
Su Zhuo rolled on the ground, pulled out the dagger from the side of his leg and slashed it.
"bite!"
The sound of metal colliding was heard, and a small arrow from a crossbow fell to the side.
Without any pause, she sprang forward, the dagger in her hand drew a graceful arc in the air, and in the blink of an eye, she killed the archer hiding in the dark.
System: [Su Zhuo from Dragon Country killed XX from Kimchi Country.]
After killing an enemy and making sure there was no danger around, Su Zhuo went forward to loot the corpse. After touching the corpse, she finally had time to check her panel and package.
Identity: Full.
strength:? ? ?
Intelligence: 85
Mental power: ???
Physical fitness: ???
The package contained a small dagger, a syringe, a packet of medicine, a crossbow, 14 arrows, a military knife, and a compressed biscuit.
From this we can see that everyone was very poor at the beginning and seemed to have no firearms.
Su Zhuo looked around and saw he was probably near a village. There were a few small houses at the end of his field of vision. The system didn't explain how to play the game.
But according to what it says, it should be similar to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Find supplies, gather with teammates, kill enemies, survive to the end, and win the war.
In the live broadcast room.
Netizens were furious and insulting Wang Lin, asking him to explain. They couldn't understand how this game worked.
"You've all been fooled by Fragment Entertainment. The system has just explained the specific rules. Look at Su Zhuo and then look at you. When danger comes, you idiots will be cannon fodder."
After Wang Lin finished speaking, he sighed inwardly and resigned himself to his fate.
"'War' is similar to 'PUBG' but also different. Here, each warrior will be randomly dropped anywhere on the map. It could be on a country road like Su Zhuo, or in a volcanic crater, or even in a monster's lair."
As he spoke, the live broadcast screen jumped to the perspective of other players who entered the game.
One of the unlucky guys appeared in a monster's lair and was swallowed up in one gulp before he could even see what kind of monster it was. It made people feel cold all over.
Seeing the frightened comments, Wang Lin felt relieved. "'War' is divided into national camps. This time, nearly one million people from eight countries around the world are participating in 'War', so there's no identification process. The first round is an elimination round. The winner is the one who can survive with the resources at hand."
"One million people?! Old Wang, are you kidding me?"
"Wow! Can they accommodate so many people this time? If I had known earlier, I would have signed up. I thought I would be the denominator."
"Haha, even if you come in, you probably won't be able to stay for more than a few seconds. Look here," Wang Lin pointed to the upper right corner of the game, where there was a string of numbers.
998415, now it is decreasing by seconds.
"Could this decline in numbers be due to deaths..."
Wang Lin let out a sinister smile. "That's right. This war of a million people will only end with ten thousand people. Think about it, if it were you, if this were the real world, wouldn't you have already been reincarnated?"
“!!!!”
"Hiss, I suddenly felt a chill on my back."
"MMP, is Old Wang hosting a horror show today? Why is he so creepy?"
"We're just watching a variety show, why are you scaring us? Damn it, if the flowers of our motherland are scared, will you compensate us?"
Seeing the comment about the flowers of the motherland, Wang Lin's smile became even more creepy. "Even if you were scared, at least you're still alive, right?"
Netizens: “QAQ!!!”
The assistant director was packing up helplessly, "Director, take it easy. What will happen to the ratings if the audience is scared away?"
Wang Lin gave him a look in response: "You know shit. My presence here guarantees the ratings."
Assistant Director: "...Su Zhuo is the one who guarantees the ratings, okay?"
Wang Lin ignored him directly. Damn, he let me be the anchor and didn’t even praise me. It was so annoying.
***
In the game.
It took Su Zhuo nearly ten minutes to walk from the birth point to the house. He didn't encounter any enemies along the way, but he also didn't have any teammates.
She even found that there was no channel for teammates.
Apart from the rapidly decreasing number of survivors in the upper right corner, Su Zhuo could not obtain any more useful information.
Su Zhuo turned several small houses upside down. He found nothing there except a lighter, a farm hoe, a rope and some pots and pans. The houses were covered with dust and cobwebs, and it was obvious that they had not been lived in for a long time.
The refrigerator was empty, and the only bottle of drink was a year past its expiration date.
Su Zhuo silently sorted out the information in his heart: the villagers had disappeared for at least half a year, there were no signs of fighting, no means of transportation nearby, and no hot weapons. It seemed safe and quiet, but in fact there was an unknown crisis.
The sky outside gradually darkened, and the orange egg yolk-like sun slowly set. Until the last ray of light disappeared on the horizon, all players received a system message.
Congratulations on surviving three hours in this perilous war world, but don't celebrate too soon. Night is the true danger. At this time, unknown forces lurking in the darkness emerge. We don't know their purpose, but it's definitely not good. At least for those who have gone missing, no trace of their remains has been found.
The four words "no bones left" coupled with the eerie and strange music make people's hair stand on end.
Su Zhuo turned off the system message and groped her way forward in the dark room. Soon she lit a candlestick with a lighter. The warm light shone on the glass, reflecting a touch of warmth.
"Oh my god, it's safer to watch Su Shen's side. QAQ I just went to the next room to see the perspective of players from other countries and I almost pissed myself. A group of monsters so dense that I couldn't see their specific appearance killed hundreds of people in an instant."
"You're still lucky. I wanted to go see a good show in Japan, but I went out late at night because of a brain twitch. I missed a step and fell into the monster's mouth. The mouth was so bloody big that I thought I fell into the grass for a second!!!"
"Isn't it 'War'? Now I just see the atmosphere of terror, not any war."
"Silly child, isn't fighting against evil forces a war? Those who are not of our kind must have different hearts."
"But I originally wanted to see a war involving hot weapons bombardment. It's boring. Let's go. Wang Lin has really run out of ideas."
Wang Lin was not angry at all when he saw this comment.
He happily held the big teacup and stared at Su Zhuo's perspective. As the most famous person in this variety show, her live broadcast room also had the most people.
"It's a bit boring."
"I want to see the big guy show off."
"Shouldn't the first million elimination be exciting?"
"I'm still not sure what this game is, whether it's Infinite Terror or something, I really don't get the idea of war at all."
"I roughly understand some of it. Let me explain briefly: 'War' is an advanced version of 'PUBG'. You rely on collecting supplies to replenish your strength and then find teammates to win the game together. However, 'War' has many different gameplay methods, such as the current fear of the unknown. From other perspectives, the world of 'War' not only has hostile factions, but also monsters. It's a bit like the biochemical world, or more accurately, a world invaded by species. In this case, hostile players are not the only enemies, there are also monsters. At the moment, it seems that the monsters are powerful enough to crush the players. OVER!"
"I met a big guy now, and I think I understand a little bit. It means PVE+PVP is going on at the same time, right?"
"That's right, but there's something a little strange. I noticed that no one in multiple perspectives has a gun. Currently, they're all just daggers, machetes, bows, crossbows, and the like. I guess this is to eliminate them en masse?"
Wang Lin glanced at the commentator who was considered the game king and added, "First of all, it's not that guns won't appear, it's that the method you're using won't appear. As for the players being overwhelmed by monsters, you're not talking nonsense. This is the real Second World. If that kind of monster appeared in your world right now, even if you were given a gun, would you be able to survive?"
Netizens said no.
If this were a game, maybe you could pass the level by relying on resurrection after death and equipment bonuses. But if this were the real world, who the hell could beat a monster whose appearance and size you couldn't even tell.
Just then, someone posted a comment saying that a monster was coming and Su Zhuo was finished.
Everyone stared intently at Su Zhuo's perspective.
In the game.
The candle flame flickered without wind, and a dangerous and terrifying atmosphere filled the entire cabin. A dim red suddenly appeared on the only glass in the cabin.
It looked like the reflection of candlelight on glass, but upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be the pupil of some large monster, cruel and greedy.
Su Zhuo's expression remained calm as he stared at it for three seconds.
The next moment, he ran backwards at a high speed and narrowly escaped from the monster's open bloody mouth.
The monster chased after them again, and its huge body crushed the hut into countless pieces. The overwhelming debris and loud noise were deafening.
Su Zhuo relied on his nimble body to dodge the monster's attacks and falling rocks, and with the help of his strength, he jumped up, raised the rope he had taken out long ago and swung it towards the monster's horns. At the same time, under the force of the monster pulling back, the rope flew through the air and landed on the monster's head.
He took out the dagger in his hand and stabbed it hard in the eyeball.
“Puff!”
A blood mist erupted.
The monster twisted in anger, and Su Zhuo grabbed the rope tightly and stabbed it without hesitation.
“Puff, puff, puff—”
Finally, at the moment the rope broke, she jumped down to avoid the monster's counterattack, switched the dagger to a machete, and went down along the wound on her eyeball.
"Sizzle."
Under the cold moonlight,
The monster's belly was like a rag being torn open by a knife, and intestines, organs and blood gushed out.
