Chapter 208: "Embrace the Higher Dimension, the Lighthouse of Humanity"
"According to your arrangement, we are urgently adjusting your son's mental condition, but... it seems that there is no relief yet..." Facing the middle-aged man's question, the researcher responded cautiously.
"None of the other top players has experienced this." The middle-aged man suddenly sighed, "Why did my child become a madman after playing this game once..."
"According to the research, players who have experienced the dungeon world generally experience a decline in mental state. Some even suffer from various mental illnesses," the researcher said.
"A related case also occurred in the 69th player on the list, Larco. After experiencing the Third World dungeon and being brutally tortured, he returned in a trance, manic and often depressed. He immediately sought help from the United Corps' Psychology Department and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and Stockholm syndrome... He has never recovered since then.
Elbella, who was once ranked 123rd on the list, died from sulfuric acid in the second world copy and suffered from Cotard's syndrome. She claimed that her lungs and intestines were completely rotten, and even if she was shown her healthy physical data to prove it, she believed that she had died of sulfuric acid in the Floating City of Daylight.
At the same time, Iris, who failed in the previous world, also showed signs of mild depression, unwilling to show up or communicate with others...
This kind of mental pressure is very common among the players at the top of the list.
We investigated the players who came to us for help and found that they all had two characteristics. The first was that they were emotionally paranoid and easily fell into misunderstandings. The second was that they died tragically when they returned and had not yet recovered from the feeling of death...
The stronger the player's ability, the easier it is for his spirit to weaken. If he is not treated in time, this condition will continue.
Previously, the department did not pay much attention to this aspect, nor did it take any relevant measures for psychological treatment. It was not until more and more players asked for help that we realized that death is not so simple for a human being, and it is not something that can be solved in a blink of an eye.
All organizations have decided to open new psychological departments to treat players who have lost their will to fight and are on the verge of mental collapse, to help them continue to fight..."
"Alright, alright, I'm not interested in hearing this. It's unlucky, all this rot and death." The middle-aged man interrupted him and waved his hands with a painful expression: "I just want my son to come back normal. Don't let him go crazy like this again. Please do your best to save my son."
"We will do our best." The researcher nodded immediately.
Just then, footsteps were heard at the door and a young woman walked in.
The woman approached the middle-aged man.
"Mizushima Kawaharu still hasn't returned." The woman said, "There's a big commotion over at Guwu. It seems like their successor, Mizushima Kawahara, is also about to run into trouble."
The middle-aged man said, "Don't worry about the loss of Mizushima Kawaharu. It's nothing compared to the greater interests. This prosperous era requires us to unite, and what the union needs is not only reliable allies, but also suitable chess pieces."
The woman said nothing.
Long before she became a non-stop player, she had accompanied the middle-aged people to various secret meetings and witnessed their heated discussions at the conference table. After the mechanism of casual players was gradually improved, this group of people returned to their old ways, using their connections to pull up a network to earn points and reap more benefits...
In the words of middle-aged people, "Adventure players are just pawns to earn points for them, and they are the charge."
And those of them who retreat behind the scenes are the ones who control everything.
After all...adventure players walk on a knife's edge and may lose everything at any time because of a dungeon. But casual players like them who have mastered the game can continue to accumulate capital without worrying about losing everything if they make a wrong move.
They are very safe.
To them, these adventurous players who work hard to earn points are nothing more than brick-moving workers who work 996 hours a day on the line between life and death.
While everyone is still arguing about who is the strongest adventure player and who can lead the world, these casual players with thousands or tens of thousands of points are already much stronger than those on the line between life and death.
When the progress bar appears and the future of mankind is bright, this group of people is more determined to hold on to their purse strings.
"Has Elander already written the strategy?" the man said.
"Well, it's been written, and His Royal Highness Edward has read it. Aiden also seems to be very interested in it, so we gave him a copy."
"Give it to them. One more person means one more hope." The man looked at his son who was screaming miserably in front of him and said calmly, "As long as they don't suddenly become crazy and slow down the progress of the world, everything will be fine..."
…
On the screen, the joint group's topic was still going on, and the current topic was still: [Why did the organizer hold such a game? ]
"I won't be Wang Xingkong." Su Ming'an said, "And neither will you. Judging from the current situation, our future is very optimistic."
"...Is that so?" Noel smiled and seemed to want to say something, but suddenly turned his gaze away.
Su Mingan also turned his head at the same time, his eyes fixed on the screen.
What attracted their attention was the shift of the camera in the live broadcast room.
The man in a white suit, who looked like a focal point bathed in light, was standing there.
In front of him, the green button representing "unlimited speaking rights" was shining.
