The new viewers in the livestream room looked puzzled, watching as Duan Yu ran over with a toolbox in hand.
Rather than confronting them directly, he watched while hiding in a corner, observing the chaos ahead.
In front, a plump elderly woman was grimly clutching her bag while muttering angrily. A few young n, appearing to be in their twenties or thirties, tried pulling the bag away multiple tis without success, then began kicking and punching the elderly woman.
Those nearby saw this and hurriedly left.
The barrage in the livestream room floated by.
[Holy crap? Young people beating up the elderly? Isn’t anyone stopping them?]
[Strear, go teach these beasts a lesson!]
[Are you just going to watch?! Get in there!!!]
[Damn, took a screenshot. I’m in Kyiv too, wait for to find these bastards in the ga!]
[If it’s not in the sa instance, what are you going to find....]
[However, what is the strear doing? Just enjoying the spectacle?]
As the struggle continued, the bag in the elderly woman’s hand was suddenly torn open.
The cheap filling rye bread scattered across the ground, leaving the viewers in the livestream room bewildered. Is that it?
Yet....
Even if it was just cheap rye bread, after a mont of confusion, the young n still swore as they picked it up and started to flee in different directions.
Only the elderly woman remained, wailing in place.
This scene left viewers in the livestream room feeling suffocated, as they cursed the young n and questioned why the strear was rely watching without intervening. Many viewers didn’t understand:
[Really? Fighting over this lousy bread? Is it worth it?]
[Yeah, that stuff isn’t even tasty, and it’s hard to eat.]
[These young n have working arms and legs, why can’t they earn a few bucks for a loaf of bread? They’re just pure evil.]
[Thankfully it’s just rye bread, it’s not worth much.]
[Exactly, just go buy so more, strear, and give it to the NPC elderly woman.]
Duan Yu shook his head and said:
"That’s not the point."
"Just today alone on this street, it’s already the fourth incident I’ve seen."
"That’s why I renad the livestream to Survival Challenge."
"Do you know why those people are stealing things?"
"Because the Imperial’s army is about to surround Kyiv, and the whole city has descended into chaos."
"Vandalism and looting are happening everywhere."
"Isn’t it hard to believe, how could it co to this?"
"But.... that’s just the way it is."
Duan Yu’s tone was grave, and the viewers in the livestream room were stunned by his words.
[No way, surrounding us.... isn’t there still the army?]
[What about the soldiers in the city? Nobody’s stopping this?]
[Tsk... still don’t understand how insidious human nature can be.]
[Overthinking it, I’ve seen a lot of chaotic cities in livestreams, way worse than this.]
[This is just the beginning. When Kyiv gets surrounded, it won’t be any better.]
[This.... alright, though things like this wouldn’t happen on Blue Star, we have surveillance everywhere.]
[Heh... can’t say for sure.]
[Naturally it’s fine with surveillance, but what if a war breaks out, all electronic devices fail, and you’re struggling for survival?]
Looking at the barrage, Duan Yu agreed:
"Exactly."
"We’re fine here because everything is peaceful."
"But once an actual war erupts, and all electronic devices fail, you could commit cris without being noticed, maybe even eliminate evidence in a deserted corner?"
"It feels like soone might actually do it."
"Just like the ga’s storyline, though I don’t know how plausible it is, if you truly imrse yourself.... it could really happen."
"The ga designer’s plot design is damn brilliant."
"This perspective...."
These days, Duan Yu has seen quite a few NPCs being looted, and those cases are considered mild.
Strears in so chaotic cities have even been led to their doom by NPCs, all for robbing the money players hold.
And the Imperial’s army hasn’t reached Kyiv yet.
The situation in Kyiv is already chaotic, one can hardly imagine what would happen if such a war were to occur on Blue Star.... Duan Yu certainly doesn’t believe the 10 billion people on Blue Star are all good.
When war cos, everyone harmoniously shares bread, politely yielding to each other.
Isn’t that just a bunch of nonsense?
Thinking about it, it’s impossible, so.... the ga’s storyline magnificently showcases the inherent wickedness of human nature.
Everyone assus that when war arrives, they’ll be the ones who rise in rank and wealth.
But.... what if everyone ends up like that robbed elderly woman?
He wants to see what will ultimately beco of the city of Kyiv in such circumstances.
What was once just a ga has now made Duan Yu want to delve deeper.
anwhile.
The food strear Xia Ling.
Is currently experiencing her most terrifying day, frozen in place with a horrified expression, unsure what to do, while the angry lady in front of the bakery roars at two Imperial Soldiers:
"Stop, put down my bread...."
Bang—!
Xia Ling shivered.
A bullet hole appeared on the back of the bakery aunt, and blood splattered onto her face.
Thud.
The body fell in front of Xia Ling.
Xia Ling’s legs weakened, and she collapsed to the ground.
The Imperial Soldiers cursed and swore as they dragged away a large bag of bread and food, with their pockets stuffed with scattered bills, and walked out.
It was only after the Imperial Soldiers had left for a long ti.
Xia Ling was jolted back to reality by the cold wind blowing in through the window, and she responded to the barrage with a trembling voice:
"N-no problem."
Looking at the shattered bakery, the broken glass, and the bakery aunt, a sense of absurdity surged into Xia Ling’s mind.
Unable to help herself, Xia Ling raised her hand to gently push the bakery aunt:
"Aunt Maria, Aunt Maria?"
But there was no response at all.
This place was the first to be occupied by the Empire, but nothing had changed in daily life for the past few days. Xia Ling hadn’t even felt the arrival of war, but everything today shattered her worldview.
Watching Xia Ling still pushing the NPC corpse, the viewers in the live stream couldn’t help but comnt:
[Stop pushing, strear, that NPC is dead.]
[Yeah, there’s no saving it. NPCs in this ga die for real; there are no resurrection options.]
[Find another place to apprentice.]
[This ga is too outrageous, killing for a little bit of bread?]
[Exactly, other streams are like this too, reality isn’t this absurd.]
[Who’s this rich kid above? Just started eating full als for a few days and now getting so arrogant?]
[Dude, go check the history, there’s a phrase in the calendar: ’In tis of great drought, people, exchanged children for food.’ Do you know what that ans?]
[This ga’s scale isn’t ordinary, exposing the malice of human nature so directly.]
[Because this is war, what makes you think there’s order in war? What are you thinking?]
[Everyone thinks starting a war will lead them to the peak of life. You think this way, they think that way, so who’s going to die....]
[So yeah.... Who would believe those advocating for war, do they have a problem in the head?]
The barrage in the live stream drifted past, gradually bringing Xia Ling back to her senses.
After pushing for a long ti, the bakery aunt still hadn’t woken up.
Xia Ling found it difficult to accept reality and ended the stream at light speed.
Online.
Regarding the arrival of war in the ga "World War II: Empire’s Rise," the various acts of robbery, murder, and lawless evil of human nature impacted many people’s hearts.
Many who have played the ga know the taste of the large rye bread, sothing that might be given away for free on Blue Star and still not eaten.
But in the ga, to survive, for a few large rye breads, NPCs rob and kill....
Comnts online are polarizing.
So people believe the ga is overly exaggerated, robbing and killing for a few loaves of bread, not considering the future? What if they get caught? Aren’t they afraid of being sentenced to death?
Killing over a few loaves of bread, risking a death sentence, is the person even thinking?
Others think the ga’s plot is entirely reasonable, just look up Blue Star’s historical records, after that teor shower, the first several decades were extraordinarily chaotic, with countless dying in a single year due to unrest.
Blue Star has only been full for about two hundred years, and society has harmonized; have you forgotten the past so quickly?
Both sides can’t persuade each other; so insist on the true goodness and beauty of Blue Star People’s nature, others insist on the inherent evil of human nature, saying not just ’Earth’ people in "World War II: Empire’s Rise" are like that, Blue Star’s war scenario would definitely be the sa.
There are also provocateurs who started a poll.
[If a war broke out on Blue Star, and you encountered such a situation, would you try to stop it?]
The video shows Duan Yu watching an old woman indifferently, with most comnts under the video cursing Duan Yu as disgusting and inactive, but there is also considerable support for Duan Yu, as well as so neutral comnters saying it’s just a ga.
The vote distribution is quite interesting too.
[Yes (72%)] [No (20%)] [Pass by (8%)]
Only the 20% who chose no were criticized, and the 8% who chose to pass by were also heavily criticized....
It’s just a ga.
But it sparked a discussion on human nature, which escalated, attracting ntions from many sociologists, though their inner struggles are unknown.
The answer is obvious.... But most netizens opt for truth, goodness, and beauty.
If one speaks honestly, they’d be inevitably flad.
It’s exhausting....
Forcing many sociologists to directly ntion Zhao Ming on headlines.
[@Polestar Ga Zhao Ming, Mr. Zhao, could you please answer the hottest question recently, if a war broke out on Blue Star, would you choose to intervene....]
....
....
Polestar Ga Company.
Inside the office.
Zhao Ming’s headline notifications constantly popped up, looking at each ntion, Zhao Ming was helpless.
I’m just a ga developer, why are you asking about philosophy?
This discussion is inherently unsolvable, I only recreated what happens during war.
Won’t you find the answer by watching the video....
Zhao Ming turned off the ssage notifications, opened the ga’s database, and upon seeing the entries for [Battle of Kiev], [Battle of Leningrad], [Battle of Moscow], he ca up with a good idea.
