Urban Sims

Rental house, single bed.

Opening his eyes, sitting for a while, and clearing his mind of excess memories, Zhou Ming opened the game panel.

Total achievement points: 998201

"B+ achievement, 997,000 achievement points, just over 2,000 short of achieving an A-level rating!"

Zhou Ming scratched his hair in distress. Whether it was playing games or taking exams, this was the situation he was most afraid of. He would always have to be a little bit short to achieve his desired goal.

"It would be great if I could live for two more years in this game, and die at the age of 46... If only I could endure it that time and not be so impulsive..."

Zhou Ming recalled many things that happened in this game, and recalled the choices he made at every key node, especially that competition at the training ground. He often thought, if he had endured it for a while longer, , will there be some turning point, will there be a way to escape that disaster without stabbing the right lung?

He made various assumptions and asked the system, but the system was unable to judge. When he asked, would the different choices he made correspond to events with different probabilities, and would there be a better result?

but……

Regardless of whether he died on the spot or was lucky to be rescued, the sword that killed him still took away more than 10 years of his life and had a huge negative impact on the game character's later game state.

"In front of the strong, no matter what choice the weak makes, what awaits the weak is an unknown fate! In the next game, no matter what, I will become a strong! A strong who controls his own destiny and the destiny of others. By!"

Zhou Ming finally figured this out. Only the strong can control destiny instead of being dominated by it.

Painful realization.

In fact, before entering this game, Zhou Ming also planned to buy a character card such as [Son of the Landlord] or [Son of the Landlord] from the system mall. The exchange requirements are not very high, only 5000 achievements. Just click, and you can get up to two copies of "Zhang Ergou".

At that time, he was still too impatient and couldn't wait for five or six days. He thought that the default character matched by the system should not be particularly miserable. However, he did not expect that he was still severely cheated by the system.

The system expressed its innocence and explained: "The default roles given by the system are generally in line with the common living conditions of more than 80% of the population in the game map. The system assigns a farmer role to the host, which is just a popular starting point for the host. This is also consistent with the probability theory of soul reincarnation.”

"Is it possible to play without choosing the default game character? Is there a random reincarnation mode?" Zhou Ming's eyes lit up and he asked.

"Well, if the host chooses to be reincarnated randomly, he needs to purchase a [random character card]."

Random character cards?

Zhou Ming ran to the system mall and looked through it. Sure enough, in an inconspicuous corner, he found a [random character card]. After using it, there is a probability of being reincarnated into any game character.

But the redemption price of 100,000 achievement points...

"System, come out and I promise not to beat you to death."

Instead of buying this crap, you might as well buy a [Baron's Eldest Son] character card worth 100,000 achievement points, which has a 100% chance of having a good background. It's much better than just trying your luck with this useless [random character card].

However, despite all the regrets and reluctance, Zhou Ming still gained a lot from this game of "Clash of Lords". The more than 990,000 achievement points alone were more than what he had played in "Zhang's Clash" for a year. There are more than "Two Dogs". With so many achievement points in hand, no matter whether you exchange them for character cards or buy some skill cards, you can always lower the difficulty level of the game a lot. You can pass the next level directly without much trouble. Big problem.

He knew that the next game would be much easier, but somehow, Zhou Ming also felt a sense of loss.

Or, there was a vague realization.

"A person's origin does determine many things, just like the vegetation that grows on barren land and rich land. A person with a higher origin is like a fruit tree on a rich land, which tends to flourish; a person with a lower origin is like one on a barren land. The weeds easily bury the desolation..."

"but……"

"Is it really possible to generalize? Is it really possible to completely deny and beat to death those who come from the lowest level?"

Zhou Ming shook his head. If this were the case, the vast majority of people living at the bottom would no longer have to harbor dreams and hopes, and would just have to wait for charity from those above.

The fact is that this is often not the case. Whenever times change, those extraordinary people who lead the trend of the times and create countless great achievements often do not come from a very high starting point, or even come from the bottom.

For example, most of the founding fathers of this world were farmers and small landowners. How did they achieve such great deeds that countless nobles could not achieve without using their golden fingers?

Zhou Ming didn't dare to compare himself with great men. He couldn't even compare with a finger of great men. He was just a simple ordinary person.

but……

There are always many extraordinary things about great men that are worth learning from. He dare not say that all copies of "The Sims" can do the same things that great men can do. That is impossible and there is no comparison. .

But rather than abandoning conscience and morality and doing whatever it takes to achieve his goals, he still hopes to retain the little kindness that may still exist in himself while adhering to a certain bottom line.

He doesn't want to be led into a complete bad guy by this game.

"After completing the copy of "Clash of Lords", let's go to the library and read some books. Maybe one day in the future, I will play the role of Ryan again with a different ending..."

Perhaps, at that time, Ryan should have become a Ryan with golden fingers, right?
