Instance game: I signed a pact with the gods, and the gods accused me of cheating

Although these people are all players from the real world, they are influenced and disturbed by the character settings after entering the dungeon, and subconsciously, they more or less bring in the concepts of their own roles in the dungeon.

For a person who has been hungry for a long time, suddenly being able to eat a full meal is like a drop of nectar.

But don't forget who caused you to fall into this situation!

"Is this the reason the con man hid behind the tip, telling me that Dr. Herman would be participating in tomorrow's experiment? Was he trying to warn me that this doctor is a dangerous person, and that the reputation and support I've built up in a short period of time could be destroyed in a matter of minutes?"

Just giving them a bite of food made these players change their minds and show gratitude and excitement on their faces.

If that doctor participates in the game tomorrow and reveals his identity, he will deliberately go against me.

I think that at this moment, there is an 80% chance that these players will choose to support the doctor after making a difficult decision in their hearts.

"After prolonged oppression, victims of abuse will actually be grateful for the occasional sweet treat from their abuser. This is because their lives are threatened in such an environment, and they feel that their lives are no longer in their own hands, but are controlled by another pervert they cannot resist. If this pervert always spares them after abusing them, or even comforts and soothes them, this will actually make the victim feel spiritually happy and grateful."

"For example, I beat my wife every day, and only after that would I give her food. Beating and then eating became a fixed mechanism."

"And if one day I stopped beating her and just gave her food, she would be grateful because this meal wasn't earned by being beaten. This explanation isn't clear enough. I could use a more profound explanation..."

"For example, when I imprisoned a young girl, I kept telling her I would kill her in three days. After she had endured three days of terror, I rushed in with a butcher knife. As she begged for mercy and struggled, I severely injured her. Finally, I suddenly put down the knife, hugged her, and comforted her. I told her that the way she begged for mercy just now moved me and reminded her of my deceased mother. I then fabricated a tragic childhood story for her."

"For example, if you have a gambling father and a sick mother, tell him that his mother was the only bright spot in my life for the first half of my life. She was gentle, patient, and her eyes were filled with a desire for life. I see her shadow in you. If this story is true enough... and can touch the victim of abuse, she might even feel sympathy for me."

"If I decided not to kill her again, she might even be grateful because the sword of Dax hanging over her head has disappeared."

"Throughout the entire process, from when I had control over her life and death—when I abused her—to when I spared her life—you reminded me of my family and aroused sympathy. This chain reaction might have caused the victim to involuntarily understand me from my perspective. Even if I hit her again later, her goal would change from escaping to how I could stop hitting her."

"Then think about the logic of my behavior from my perspective. For example, if I didn't hit her one day, what would my excuse be? What would my explanation be? Why didn't I get hit this time? Escape from the predicament—to please the abuser."

“Once this process is formed, a gratitude mechanism will be generated…”

"And every time you're not abused, you develop a sense of gratitude."

"Not being beaten seems to be a sweet treat, a reward. Once the abused begins to see things from the abuser's perspective, then she's not far from complete collapse. At this point, I'll add a few other elements. For example, when I don't hurt the abused, I'll also describe my miserable childhood to her. Over time, if I don't beat her but also don't tell her about my miserable childhood, she'll instead feel a deep fear and insecurity, because human nature is to seek stability."

"The mechanism of getting beaten - comforting, not getting beaten - telling stories has changed to cold violence - no stories to listen to. In the trend of anxiety, she hopes that I will return to the mechanism of getting beaten - comforting, not getting beaten - telling stories."

Qin Shang looked at the scene before him, the group of people with tears in their eyes grabbing their lunch boxes and wolfing down their food, and his expression couldn't help but darken.

"It's the same for workers. Working and getting paid is a process system."

"If one day I accidentally broke my leg and couldn't go to work, and my boss actually approved a month's leave for me to recuperate at home and promised to pay my full salary as usual, I would even feel grateful to my boss at that time."

"The reward of not working and getting paid helped break my negative emotions. But firstly, subjectively, I'm unable to work due to my fracture. Secondly, objectively, from an absolutely rational point of view, when I return to work next month, my boss will definitely assign me double or even triple the workload to make up for the month I missed."

"But I can't help but feel grateful, but in fact..."

"What is the mechanism of labor? Labor behavior in exchange for reasonable compensation."

"It has nothing to do with clocking in..."

"It's like I earn a day's pay for a day's work. It seems I'm getting paid for nothing this month, but I have to do twice as much work next month. If I do two days' work in one, doesn't that make up for the absences from work due to injury this month?"

“Salary is the fruit of labor, not a reward for time.”

"It's like if crops need to be cultivated for six months a year to mature. I felt unwell in the fifth month, and the crops told me, 'It's okay, you can rest for a month, but you still have to cultivate in the sixth month, otherwise there will be no harvest.' So I chose to agree. Although I rested for a month, I still made up for the labor in that month, and the crops were harvested."

"In reality, I still put in six months of hard work to get the harvest, so this unwarranted spiritual gratitude seems very strange."

"There are also games with mechanisms like this..."

"I lost more than ten games in a row. I played seriously in every game, but I ended up losing miserably. Then, for some reason, I started to win because I was slacking off. So, I finally made up my mind to quit the game after betraying my teammates, so I started playing well again. I won a few games, but then I was matched with stupid teammates again, and the crazy ten-game losing streak started again..."

"[Variable rewards] can also explain [Stockholm syndrome]."

These guys...

Can it be bought with just one meal?

All kinds of complicated emotions began to intertwine in Qin Shang's heart.

I just deliberately gathered these players together and explained to them my operations in the experimental game. In fact, it was to establish an image to facilitate my leadership position in the future. Moreover, the reputation of "Python Swallowing Dragon" is indeed prominent. From a psychological level, those people can accept that there is an awesome high-level player matched with me in the same copy, and it is easier for them to accept Qin Shang's subsequent quick-witted arrangements from a psychological level.

But now... judging from the reactions of these players, these people were bribed by a meal.

The appearance of this scene really made Qin Shang feel insecure.

next moment.

Snapped--

"Are you going to eat or not? Number 7? Are you going to eat or not?"

The keywords are not blocked, and it is not the ID 'licking cockroach's jade feet fiercely'?

Is this person a player?

Hearing the impatient voice in front of him, such a thought flashed through Qin Shang's mind. His body instinctively took the lunch box and blurted out a sentence subconsciously.

"Thanks……"

When these words came out, Qin Shang was struck by lightning and was stunned.

Fear, intense fear swept through my heart. I, I actually?!

Gululu...

Followed by.

Accompanied by the movement of the stomach.

hungry!

Extremely hungry.

Qin Shang was very hungry since he entered this dungeon.

At this moment, the still warm food in front of him directly touched Qin Shang's fragile inner defenses, making him unable to help but say thank you.

broken!

The iron-willed Qin wanted to throw the lunch box on the ground and shout, "I'd rather starve to death or jump off the building than eat a single bite of this meal today."

But his little bit of courage was soon worn away by the rumbling sound of his stomach again. Under the contemptuous gaze of the guy holding the electric baton next to him, he didn't even bother to grab the chopsticks next to him, but directly opened the lid of the lunch box with his hands and started to eat with relish.
