Survival in the apocalypse: I rely on reading to become stronger and save the world

Chapter 34 Aboriginal Players
  Fortunately, Chang Ning's question quickly brought him back to his thoughts, and she asked Li Simu again the three questions she asked Mo Tianxing word for word.

After the young man was quiet for a moment, he said, "Sister Chang Ning, I don't know how much the colorful spider silk can be sold for, but I have a friend who may know. I can ask him. As for Ye Zijie, I do know a little information!"

"Oh?" Chang Ning looked at Li Simu's serious look and suddenly became curious and asked, "Tell me, what do you know?"

Li Simu organized his words a little and said truthfully, "Yi Zijie entered Beizhen half a month ago and is currently number one in the novice rankings. You must know this Sister Chang Ning!"

When Chang Ning heard this, he sighed as if he suddenly realized, "It turns out that he is number one on the novice list, so I thought I had seen this name somewhere!"

This novice list is formed based on the comprehensive ranking of novice players' survival time and task completion in the past 30 days. Chang Ning only glanced at it when he first came here and didn't take it to heart.

In her current state, it was impossible to pay attention to something that was too far away from her!
  But he never expected that one day, the number one on the novice list would come to him to buy something!

But from what Li Simu said, it seemed that Ye Zijie was more than just the number one player on the novice list.

She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is there anything else special about this Ye Zijie?"

The young man nodded and continued, "Ye Zijie comes from the Ye family in Dongling City. His brother Zishan is the captain of the Dongling City Guards and the number one archer in Dongling City!"

Chang Ning was a little confused after hearing this, and asked hurriedly, "Wait a minute, what does it mean to come from the Ye family in Dongling City? Can you please explain it clearly? Could it be that he originally lived in this world?"

Chang Ning was the one who was inexplicably involved in this game world, so she subconsciously thought that everyone here was the same as her, but according to Li Simu, that didn't seem to be the case?
  "Sister Chang Ning, you don't know something! In theory, the players in this world are all attracted from the outside world, but there are still differences!"

The young man looked at Chang Ning and continued to explain, "Some people like you, Sister Chang Ning, enter this world for the first time and are complete novices, also called first-generation players! There are also some whose ancestors are here The first generation of players only succeeded in surviving in this world because of their strong abilities, or they got married and had children, or for some reason they brought their relatives or friends into the game in real life. Only then did they have people like Ye Zijie. Such second-generation players are also called indigenous players!"

"How can it be like this? Not only can you get married and have children here, but you can also attract people!" Chang Ning no longer knows how to describe her mood at this moment...

She thought everyone was just trying to survive, but she didn't expect that some people had been living here for a long time! ! !
  "Yes, although the living environment in this world is weird and harsh, as long as you are strong enough and can earn enough time to survive, you can continue to live like ordinary people. Getting married and having children is normal!"

Although Chang Ning was surprised, he still had some confusion and asked, "But doesn't everyone here have to rely on survival time to survive? Don't these indigenous players not need it?"

"That's because the system has a protection mechanism for indigenous players. There is no survival time limit before the age of 20, but at the latest, they must enter the novice town and become a novice player to start the game, otherwise they will be directly wiped out! And before the game officially starts, indigenous players It will not awaken its profession and skills, and it can only survive by relying on the protection of others!"

I see……

Only then did Chang Ning understand the general idea. The system had this protection mechanism probably to maintain a sufficient number of players in the game world. But in this way, wouldn't there be unfairness between pure novice players and indigenous players?

Regarding this issue, Li Simu said, "After indigenous players enter the novice town, all the restrictions are the same as those of the first-generation players. During the novice period, they can only rely on the system mechanism to obtain survival time and points. Their original families can only provide some information at most, but cannot provide any information. Substantial help, and the system is always being upgraded and optimized. In fact, the gap is not that big! To say that the real unfairness will probably become more obvious and prominent after successfully passing the novice period!” If you no longer enjoy the protection mechanism of the system, you have to rely entirely on your own strength to survive!
  But the problem is that this is an apocalyptic world with extremely limited resources, mutated species can be found everywhere, and we have to face various challenges issued by the system. It is not easy to survive smoothly.

Aboriginal players will have seniors from their own families to rely on to some extent. Even if such people do not account for a large proportion of the overall players, the benefits they enjoy are real, but pure novice players really only I can break through with strength!

Chang Ning naturally understood this truth. After she was silent for a few seconds, she looked at the young man in front of her and asked, "Simu, you must be an indigenous player too, right?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so clear about these things!
  "Yes, Sister Chang Ning!" Li Simu didn't hide anything and said frankly, "Although I can be considered an indigenous player, but unlike Ye Zijie, I am an orphan. I grew up in an orphanage. Even my parents don't know who they are. , even after the novice stage, there is no one to rely on!”

It turned out to be an orphan, just like her!
  Chang Ning looked at this immature boy who had not yet grown up, and asked, "Then why didn't you wait until you were 20 years old before entering Novice Town?"

"This!" Li Simu touched his head and said with a wry smile, "I also wanted to enter again when I was 20 years old, but because I accidentally offended someone, I was thrown into the danger zone by others. If I didn't enter Novice Town immediately, I would probably He died on the spot!"

Li Simu had absolutely no choice at the time. Although the system stipulated an upper age limit for entering Novice Town, it did not set a lower limit. As long as you are willing, you can enter at any time!
  Therefore, Li Simu actually came to Novice Town to avoid danger!

No matter whether he could successfully get out of here or not, for him at that time, there was at least a glimmer of hope!
  Fortunately, he met Chang Ning!

Li Simu thanked her sincerely!
  Hearing what the young man said, Chang Ning suddenly felt a little sympathy for him!
  She suddenly felt that maybe the world outside the novice stage was the beginning of real cruelty...

And everything experienced here is just a little appetizer!

Li Simu went back to his room. He said he was going to ask his friends in the orphanage and would tell her as soon as possible if there was any news.

After the boy left, the room returned to its previous quietness.

Chang Ning silently digested the information he just heard. When he raised his eyes again, he saw the man who had been sitting on the armchair not far away, drinking tea elegantly and looking out the window quietly. He had never said a word. .

She pouted, but walked over, sat opposite Mo Tianxing, and asked, "Don't you have anything to say?"

Mo Tianxing withdrew his gaze and looked at her calmly, "What did you say?"

Chang Ning, "..."

　In the new year, I hope everyone will be happy every day~
