Chapter 263 - 263 262 Got Insinuated
?Chapter 263: Chapter 262: Got Insinuated Chapter 263: Chapter 262: Got Insinuated Luo Ning couldn’t help but laugh, knowing they were still stuck in the mindset of a normal life in reality.
She said, “That’s reality, but we’re in an apocalyptic setting now!”
“We only had thirty minutes to prepare, looking at the map to accurately find the places we wanted to take items from can save time and allow us to take more things.”
Divination also said with resignation, “They haven’t put themselves in the apocalyptic setting yet, so they overlooked this.”
Divination had looked at the map, but he didn’t collect food in the room; instead, he waited until he was at the supermarket to do so.
As Luo Ning said, the food area of the supermarket is quite large. It took time to find the convenient food they wanted to take.
Luo Ning also collected clothes and toiletries in the room, which they then wasted time on in the supermarket.
Therefore, in the collection of resources, they all spent more time than Luo Ning did.
Yue Xiao realized immediately that Bo Xuan had also looked at the map.
But it wasn’t surprising to them that he had looked at the map.
After all, the guy had gone through specialized command and combat training and had an especially high IQ.
But they were surprised that Luo Ning would also look at a map.
They showed their doubts.
Bo Xuan said, “Smart people would first look at the map and immediately immerse themselves in the setting.”
He continued, “But among the one hundred and twenty teams this time, there probably aren’t many smart people like that.”
Yue Xiao and the others: “…” They felt like they were being implicated.
The comment section blew up.
[Can I say that if it were me, I wouldn’t look at the map either. My first reaction would be to rush into the supermarket to grab things.]
[Ahem, I feel like I’ve been implicated as well.]
[Same as the one above.]
[Does this mean we’re all not smart?]
[Who was it just now who said Luo Ning was wasting time looking at maps to get attention?
Come out, I definitely won’t beat you to death.]
[Original Luo Ning collected supplies in the room at the very beginning; she had thought it through from the first moment.]
[That’s right. The room was so small, you could see almost everything you could carry with you at a glance, taking what needed to be taken really does save time.]
[Also, did you guys notice a detail? There were actually quite a few convenience foods in the room, including biscuits, instant noodles, and water.]
[There was also a large backpack in the cupboard which Luo Ning just used. Others wasted time looking for a bag in the supermarket.]
[This must have been intentional by the organizers, to see who would collect things in the room first.]
[No wonder before entering that door, the person handing out watches always reminded all participants that there’s a supermarket on the first floor. So this was actually a trap?]
[Definitely a trap. That’s why the first reaction of everyone after going in was to rush towards the supermarket, after all, the supermarket has the most complete supplies.]
[No wonder Luo Ning was featured on the main live broadcast window first; her choice turned out to be the right one, so she was selected by the virtual intelligence system.]
[So the embarrassment and such, are all things that certain people have imagined for the sake of mocking.]
[Speaking of which, the organizers are frighteningly meticulous!]
[There was a big shot who just did a count, and only three people stayed in the room to collect things, and Luo Ning was among them.]
[Do we even need a tally? The main window of the live broadcast was showing three people at the very start.]
[Those who looked at the map were also broadcast in the main window. There weren’t many of them, but Luo Ning was also among them.]
[So the scenes appeared in the main window broadcast are probably those participants that the intelligent system considers to be doing the right thing or performing well.]
[Earlier, weren’t there a bunch of people criticizing Luo Ning for wasting time and lacking competitiveness? I’d like to interview them now, what do you think about this?]
[I feel like I’ve been slapped in the face.]
[Ahem, suddenly feels really good.]
[Didn’t expect Luo Ning’s performance to be quite outstanding.]
[Women are more meticulous, perhaps.]
[Don’t use women as an excuse. Of the one hundred and twenty teams, that means one hundred and twenty women participants. Yet only Luo Ning managed to do both things mentioned before, thank you!]
[So Luo Ning has really made us proud…]
On the other side.
Luo Ning divided the medicine she had obtained into five portions, giving some to each person.
Bo Xuan pointed at the tent by Jin Feiyang’s feet and the one Fan Ye carried, “You carrying these is quite redundant.”
Fan Ye asked, puzzled, “Why would it be redundant? We still need to sleep at night.”
Bo Xuan explained with some exasperation, “We’re about to start our escape soon, and you both look more like you’re here on vacation.”
Luo Ning added from the side, “You’re probably going to throw all these things away before long.”
Lugging tents and sleeping bags around while trying to escape is just cumbersome.
Bo Xuan nodded in agreement, “So why on earth did you spend time looking for these things?”
Fan Ye and the others: “…” felt implied again.
Yue Xiao said with a smile, “Since we’ve taken them already, let’s just carry them for now. Maybe we’ll use them. If not, we can throw them away.”
He continued, “By the way, I just thought of a question.”
“What’s the question?” asked the others, somewhat baffled.
Yue Xiao shook the bread in his hand.
“This virtual world feels too realistic. But we are real people who entered here, and the food is virtual. If we stay in the city for a month, won’t we starve to death?”
Everyone found his point very reasonable.
Bo Xuan was actually quite puzzled too; since entering here, he had found it difficult to consider this place as fake because everything was too realistic.
Luo Ning said with a smile, “Everything we’ve picked up is real.”
Yue Xiao and the others looked at her in confusion and asked, “Everything is real?”
Luo Ning nodded, “Yes. If you think about it, the organizers must have thought of it too; how could they possibly let us starve to death.”
“It’s actually very simple to verify whether it’s real.”
“Eat the bread in your hands. If you feel full, you’ll know the food is real.”
“After all, we’re real people entering here, and external perceptions may be misled by virtual projection. But whether you’re hungry or full, and whether you feel pain, those are real responses.”
Yue Xiao then slapped himself, “Right, just take a taste to find out.”
He truly tore open the package of bread and took a few bites, “Indeed, it’s real. It feels just like the bread I eat outside, and there’s a sense of fullness.”
he continued, looking at Luo Ning, “I’m really curious, how did you know it was real?”
Fan Ye added a question, “I’m also puzzled. If the food we picked up is real, what about the supermarket and the place where we’ve just come together?”
Could it be real too?
But that didn’t seem right either. They had been acting on their own before, but as soon as it got dark and they could see clearly again, they were all together as a team.
Luo Ning explained with a smile, “If I’m not mistaken, I think the organizers must have already set up a base on Competition Island.”
“It is very likely that they built a city here. The real and the virtual projections overlaying one another, a mix of the real and the fictitious, is what creates the effect of blurring truth and deception.”
