Chapter 218 The Gods' Lucky Death Game
Suk stared silently at the screen.
"A lucky death game? The 1 million people who were drawn all suffered various misfortunes, such as bankruptcy, becoming slaves, or even death... It should be called an unfortunate death game."
The whims of an immortal deity can easily determine the fate of hundreds of millions of people. It sounds unbelievable, but it is the norm in this universe.
Suk continued reading.
"Mission Requirements: Narumi Shrine Master's Lucky Death Game has begun, and 1 million winners will soon be selected and punished. You can choose to save 10 of them. Please make your choice within 24 hours. Your choice will determine the future of many people."
Once the final task completion rate reaches 80%, the third stage of the task will be unlocked. If the completion rate is below 80%, the highest-scoring task will end.
The email wasn't long, but it left Suk with a complicated expression.
"You want me to grant pardons, instead of stopping them?" A strange feeling welled up inside Suk. "And a million people will die in this game, but I can only save 100,000. The only thing I can do is choose which 100,000 to save."
Clearly, Virtual Universe Company had no intention of stopping Narumi Shinshu's actions, which could be described as "treating human life as worthless."
The game "Narumi Shinshu" has been going on for countless years and countless times, causing countless innocent people to lose their families and lives because of it...
However, Virtual Universe Company showed no intention of getting involved.
This made Suk think again about the bottom lines of the Virtual Universe Corporation and the human race, the so-called bottom lines of restriction.
The bottom line is calculated on a planetary scale.
Assume that each life-bearing planet can kill 500 planetary beings per year, and assume that a star system has 20 planets.
So the annual slaughter amount for a galaxy is 1 million planets.
So the total amount of slaughter in this galaxy over 100 years would be... 100 billion!
Of course, different statuses have different bottom lines. For example, a King-level Immortal is different from a Universe Venerable. A Universe Venerable can slaughter billions of people without launching a punitive expedition. Of course, even a Universe Venerable has a bottom line.
That's called privilege!
The strong have privileges!
Because the rules are designed to serve the strong!
"The Lord of the Sea of Naruto rules the entire Snow Lake Starfield, encompassing thousands of star systems and hundreds of millions of inhabited planets. Every 100 years, he conducts a death lottery game, selecting 100 million people for punishment, but only 1 million are actually executed... ...This is probably far below the limits of the human race." Suk understood.
Having even reviewed intelligence materials, he knew that the outside world was completely unaware of the true inside story of this "Lucky Death Lottery Game." The cosmic citizens of the Snowy Starfield who participated in the lottery had not discovered the truth and had no information whatsoever.
After all, if the deaths of 100 million people are spread across hundreds of millions of inhabited planets, on average only one unlucky person will appear on every hundred inhabited planets, and it won't even cause a ripple.
Moreover, the Narumi God Lord acted very secretly, without letting the news leak out, and made no noise when he took action.
"In some ways, it seems that the Lord of Narumi was trying to enjoy the game rather than intentionally killing lives."
However, this approach still failed to gain Suk's approval, and he even felt disgusted by this practice of playing games with other people's lives.
drop.
"Master, another email has arrived," Allah reminded him.
Suk looked closely and, sure enough, there was another email with the subject "List of Winners of the Lucky Death Game." Opening it, he found it contained the names and information of all 1 million participants in this Lucky Death Game. The fact that they could gather such comprehensive and complex information in such a short time was astounding.
It's likely that only the intelligence department of Virtual Universe Company could do that.
"I have to decide within 24 hours which 10 people to save." Thinking of the contents of the previous email, Suk felt a little heavy-hearted.
This is the weight of life, yet it rests in his hands.
He could save 10 people, but that would mean abandoning another 90.
Suk ignored the lists of third and second prize winners and went straight to the list of winners of the 100 million first prize.
He only has 24 hours.
Fortunately, he was already a domain lord, and with a mental processing speed comparable to a primary quantum computer, he could quickly read through the list of 100 million people.
Narumi Shrine's Lucky Death Lottery Game is completely random, ranging from Eternal Star level to Apprentice level.
However, he already had a clear selection process in mind. He also had a selection criterion in mind for who to pardon first.
It's not about who is stronger, more outstanding, or more valuable.
Instead, it is one—
Those with no criminal record will be given priority.
Those with families will be given priority.
Those who are young will be given priority.
The more he looked at those vivid personal life experiences, the heavier his heart became.
Time passed slowly, and in just over three hours, Suk completed the initial screening, but more than 30 people were still left.
In his eyes, none of these people should have died, and none of them were people he could help or abandon.
Suk leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and his mind kept replaying the life experiences of the people he had seen before.
"Suke, what's wrong?" In the spaceship's lobby, Qinglian Hou saw Suke's strange expression and couldn't help but ask.
Su Ke shook his head, flipped his hand and pulled out a bottle of wine, then plopped down on the sofa next to him. "Qinglian Hou, come have a drink with me."
Qinglian Hou looked at the white-haired youth in surprise, then smiled and said, "It seems you've run into some trouble, Su Ke?" He then sat down.
Su Ke poured himself a glass of wine and then poured one for Qing Lianhou. He smiled wryly and said, "It's not exactly troublesome. Maybe I'm just making trouble for myself." He then told Qing Lianhou about the second stage of the mission. He explained that he had come out at this time to ease his mind.
"So this is the kind of mission the Virtual Universe Company assigned to you." Qinglianhou picked up his wine cup, took a sip, and comforted him. "Actually, you don't need to be so upset. After all, this wasn't your fault. You can think of it this way: originally, all those people would have died. You saved at least 10 people."
"I understand, but the lives of those 10... no, 100 million people are in my hands," Suk said in a low voice.
If it were just a matter of opening and closing one's eyes and casually deciding to save 10 people, that would be fine. But in order to choose which 10 people to save, Suk carefully looked through the names and information of each person. He remembered each person's name clearly and their life experiences vividly.
Therefore, in his eyes, this is no longer a simple number, but a series of living human lives.
Qinglian Hou finally understood that Su Ke had gotten himself into a rut. He hadn't expected Su Ke, who had been so cold-blooded and ruthless in the first mission, to be so kind now. He sighed and continued to persuade him. "Don't say that the Virtual Universe Company only allows you to pardon 10 people. Even if you really go to great lengths and save 100 million people this time, there will be a next time, and a time after that... As long as Lord Minghai is still alive..."
"If this game continues, more and more people will die." Moreover, compared to the other more cruel and bloody massacres that Qinglianhou had seen, the game played by the Lord of the Sea of Crying was already quite merciful; at best, it was just a game with a bit more gore.
Suk tilted his head back and downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, then put it down. "So, I plan to have a talk with Lord Narumi."
