Chapter 21: Sharing Risks
Chapter 21 Risk Sharing
"Hey, Chongyang, take you to see a place?" I was studying the information about potion refining techniques, and the scholar Cao Mu suddenly rushed over and pulled me out.
"Where?" It's already early morning. Stock should have just finished the experiment last night. It's time to be free at this time. Isn't it like we are seeking death?
"Don't worry about that old man, he is sleeping now." As if guessing what I was thinking, Sao Cao Mu dispelled my doubts.
He brought me to a place other than Stoke's closed laboratory. At the corner of the old locust tree at the base of the wall, the arrow suddenly waited on the string. Seeing that we were coming, I immediately made a gesture of silence. Then quietly lifted up a piece of rotten old tree bark, revealing an inch of gap connected to the closed laboratory.
"Look." The arrow gave me the position on the string and signaled me to look in.
I was suspicious, but now everyone is grasshoppers on the same rope, so they won't harm me.
I looked into the laboratory for the first time through the gap. The room was dark and a strange dark red light shrouded the experimental table in the center. The eight players who sat in the top of it were the eight players selected by Stoke yesterday. I even saw the seat of the big bag of red dates facing my eyes. But at this moment, his eyes turned out the pupils of dead fish bubbles, bleeding from seven holes, and the bones of his body seemed to be unable to hold on to rotten meat, and he was on the stage.
I strangely found that their bodies were melting rapidly, and a bloody smell came. I suddenly found that mysterious magic runes were everywhere on the ground, and the players on the experimental platform had already died, and the blood was flowing down the experimental platform, soaking all magic runes.
The whole scene was indescribably terrifying.
"Damn!" I roared: "I knew there would be no good ending!"
The mission continues, and all players are more cautious, afraid that the next person to be eliminated will be themselves.
I was also stuck in the round-trip round-route of the task.
I have said before that playing virtual reality games is like having a waking dream. But even if a person lies in bed for a long time, he will feel stiff and uncomfortable. I have been in the game for a long time before the mission began, and by now, on the third day of the mission, I have begun to feel a little declining in the reaction.
"Can't you really call Brother An?" Apple and Mo Ke and his wife stood beside me, watching the signal lights on their helmets flashing steadily.
Mo Ke shook his head, "Let's go out, don't bother him. If we can survive this time, we probably will make another big step forward in our dream of making a comeback. Apple, Ayi works so hard in the game, we can't be too far behind. We have to work hard together."
"Well, I will never be able to experience it with the team tomorrow. I will exercise my skills!" Apple nodded fiercely, with a serious look on his face.
When Walnut Girl saw that they could not live without the game, she was very envious, "Husband, should I buy a helmet too?"
Mo Ke immediately shivered and nervously touched the walnut girl's slightly bulging belly, "No, absolutely not. What if you fight and kill in the game and get angry?"
"I'm so bored staying in the house all day watching you play games. I'm so bored. I'll buy one, okay!" The walnut girl pulled Mo Ke's arm and said coquettishly.
Mo Ke had no choice but to have any help to Walnut Girl, and she couldn't bear to walk around in such an empty house alone. Her heart softened and nodded. Walnut Girl immediately kissed him hard on the face a few times, and jumped up cheering, and Mo Ke's face turned pale, "Be careful, wife, if you lose my son, I will give you up!"
Walnut girl has a pretty face, "You dare! Humph, you can sleep on the sofa tonight!"
After all the materials were prepared, there was no one in the only blood skull, so it could only be replaced by bones everywhere on the island. Stoke's choice of blood skull powder only absorbed the strong resentment of the dead. The resentment on this small island was very sufficient. Even if the resentment of the white skull was slightly lower, the principle was the same, but the final effect might be a little worse.
Potion refining is actually a very rigorous science. The magic power must be consumed continuously during the casting process. So I am adding points to the full spirit. At present, the level and added magic power have reached its peak.
Releasing the magic potion refining technique, a gray-white flame suddenly rose in my palm, setting off my fair face reflected in the darkness, and it became more and more strange. The arrow behind me was on the strings and the scholar of Grass Mustard saw this scene, swallowed strongly, and admired me a little more.
The most difficult thing is to grasp time and time, which requires pure and powerful mental support.
The first refining ended in failure. It was not that the refining steps were wrong, but that the mental power was unsustainable at halfway through the refining. The attributes of my level 10 full mental points were not enough to activate the complete potion refining technique.
I did not believe in evil and tried again, but failed again. The reason was indeed mentally. The amount was about 5 points in terms of mentality. Of course, the more, the better. I still had four sets of materials for the medicine in my hand, and I didn't want to continue to fail. I decisively put away the materials and stood up.
"How is it? Did it succeed?" asked Arrow in confusion.
I shook my head, "I don't have enough mental power, I need to add mental equipment."
The scholar Cao Mu immediately shook his head like a rattle, "This is not easy. Not to mention equipment in this ghost place, you can't even find a monster." The arrow shook his head on the string, "Even if there are monsters, you may not be able to explode with spiritual equipment." They discussed hard, but they were all nonsense. Finally, there was no way, and they could only turn their eyes to the calm me.
My boss has not done it for so many years. Keeping calm in the face of danger is one of the basic principles. "In fact, the solution to the problem is very simple. To reduce risks, you must spread the risks equally. As long as you find someone to cooperate, it will be safer to share the risks with one more person."
Neither of them spoke, waiting for me to continue talking.
"But there are two disadvantages to doing this. First, the three of us have reached a consensus and cannot determine whether the newly absorbed members are reliable. Although the risk is equalized, it is actually increasing the risk implicitly. Second, the multiple absorbed members will reduce our returns in the face of the possible final benefits, and the results will be divided equally, and the interests are far less than the amount of labor, which may lead us to fight each other in the end!"
The scholar Cao Mue smiled "sigh" and said, "Brother, you are too good at scheming, you are the first and second. Even if you are right, the second is too far away. Whether you can live to the end is unknown."
I nodded in agreement with him, but it did not mean that I had denied my own words, "As a decision maker, I have to consider all the risks brought by action."
