Chapter 604 The Weight of Life
"Motive, after finding out the truth...shouldn't you know why I did this?"
"Didn't those kids tell you why I did this?"
As Luobo said this, Lin Yu shrugged.
"I did say it, but it was just about a backup plan in case the fourth level attack fails, and for the sake of the Players' Mutual Aid Association..."
Lin Yu paused here.
"Unfortunately, Comrade Li Hua doesn't believe these claims."
Uncle Radish sighed, "So that's how it is. Li Hua is indeed a thoughtful and cautious young man, worthy of his high position in the Order."
"And since they sent you here... it seems you don't really believe those claims."
Lin Yu nodded slightly.
"Yes, because it's completely unnecessary. Even though, judging by the outcome, perhaps your death, the 'news' of your murder, could lead to the changes you hoped for within the Players' Mutual Aid Association, that's not guaranteed."
"An uncertain plan isn't really worth risking your life for, is it?"
Lin Yu asked, and Uncle Radish laughed.
"No wonder Li Hua sent you to do this."
"Yes, for us 'players', our own 'life' is very important."
Uncle Radish said with emotion.
After all, if one does not value their own life and is extremely eager to survive, there is no way they would join the "Death Game".
For a "player", it is impossible to make his own life part of the "plan" without any special reason.
Granted, there might be players in the "Death Game" who would sacrifice their own lives, but wanting a "player" to sacrifice...
What he wants must be something of great importance.
Just wanting changes to the Players' Mutual Aid Association isn't enough to risk one's life.
Even if this organization was founded by Uncle Carrot, it is still not important enough.
"So, what exactly are you doing this for?"
Lin Yu asked sincerely.
When Uncle Radish heard Lin Yu's question, he burst out laughing.
"In fact, the reason they told you is all there is to it... I didn't lie to them, and I have no intention of lying to you through them."
As Uncle Radish said this, Lin Yu was stunned.
"what?"
He subconsciously thought that Mr. Carrot was still hiding something. Even in the scene constructed by the [Ancient Notes], the last bit of consciousness in the other party's remaining soul fragments was trying to continue to conceal what he had concealed during his lifetime.
but……
Lin Yu could feel that Uncle Carrot was very sincere.
The old man stood up, brushed off the dirt on his body, looked at the tomato seedlings in the vegetable garden, and said leisurely: "I know this sounds a little hard to believe, but... it is true."
"Of course, it's only natural for you, the Order, to be skeptical and suspicious... After all, you're shouldering so much responsibility and can't afford even the slightest error."
"Your guess is correct. I did hide some information from you... Since you've already resorted to such tactics to question me, I might as well just tell you and relieve your worries."
Uncle Radish said, then paused: "Because I'm no longer like most 'players' who want to survive so badly."
"Perhaps when I was first chosen for the Death Game, I did have a strong desire to live, but... now the biggest reason for me to live has disappeared."
Uncle Radish smiled and looked back at the house outside the greenhouse.
He thought back to when he entered the game—nothing special.
It was a very cold winter. His wife complained of chest pain in the middle of the night, so he drove his three-wheeled motorcycle to take her to the emergency room of a hospital in the city. However, the road was icy and the three-wheeled motorcycle slipped. When they reached an uphill slope, Uncle Luobo was about to get off and push the motorcycle.
Because he was anxious and it was dark, he accidentally fell, hit the back of his head, and passed out.
As Mr. Radish lay dying, he had only one thought...
He doesn't want to die, he has to live!
He also has to take his wife to the hospital!
No, it's more than that... After returning from the hospital, he still has to continue living his own life - he just rented two more greenhouses, which can be used to grow vegetables, and the unsold vegetables can be sent to the children in the city.
I heard that vegetables in the city are very expensive and not good quality now, while vegetables grown in the countryside are now called pure natural, green and organic, and are in great demand.
So he doesn't want to die, he wants to live.
then……
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange world—the bloody words before him told him that this was the "Death Game."
As an old man, he didn't surf as much as the young people, so Uncle Carrot had some troubles at the beginning.
But fortunately, his first [copy] was a survival copy. Relying on the professional advantages of "farmers" in the [survival copy], he finally united several players and unanimously passed that difficult [copy].
However, even though Luobo had tried his best, several players still died in that [copy] - Luobo always remembered them.
The two young men were both college students, and the other was a mother of two children. Luobo knew that they both had the same reasons as himself for not wanting to die, but...
They still died.
After returning to reality, he rushed his wife to the hospital, and she survived - the doctors kept saying that his timely medical treatment played a big role.
Luobo was very happy, but he couldn't help but wonder...what about those three people who were really dead forever?
What about their parents and children?
From that moment on, this simple and kind farmer who had been farming for most of his life suddenly felt that he had to do something.
He wants to survive, and he wants more people to survive.
So... Luobo tried to start a "mutual aid association" - this was a good idea. Although the "order" had been established at that time, a truly almost unshakable "order" had not yet been established, so many kind and friendly players chose to build a "mutual aid association" with Luobo.
That period was the most fulfilling time for Luobo, although things did not always go smoothly and "death" was a common occurrence in the "Death Game"... Your friend who might have hated your smiling face last week, this week only had the bad news of not being able to survive the "copy".
But for Luobo, everything is developing in a positive direction - he cannot save everyone, but there are indeed more and more "players" who have more living space because of the organization he founded - they are all very grateful to him and the organization he founded.
And Luobo's life was getting better and better... Just as Luobo expected, his vegetable greenhouse was very successful and the first year was a bumper harvest.
During the harvest season that year, he and his wife ate the vegetables they had grown themselves. Their children, who rarely came back from the city, were all happy and harmonious, something that made Radish sigh with admiration...
"It's good to be alive."
However, that was also the last time Uncle Radish sighed, "It's great to be alive."
