Rick and Morty: My Grandfather is Rick?

The situation appears to be about to enter a stalemate that will leave both sides extremely frustrated.

But in reality, if Number 1 gets the same amount of resources as himself, it means that Morty will almost never have any side to him!

At this point, it becomes especially important to disrupt the enemy's morale and cause internal strife among them!

Having already lapped number one, Morty released another number '6', walked over to number 12, and began his first backstabbing.

“Rick, I know you probably think I'm trying to sabotage you by talking to you, but think about it carefully. This game was created by Grandpa, and he knows that his beloved grandson can't possibly win against you intellectually superior people in this game of attrition…”

"So Grandpa did give me a backdoor, meaning I didn't need to win to survive, while this game was all about you Ricks fighting for first place from the very beginning..."

"So when I walked past Number 1 just now, that clever and cunning old bastard guessed this would happen and discussed it with me."

"As long as I show that I'm also limited by this game, you'll inevitably double down, concentrating all your resources on him alone. That means he'll be guaranteed first place. As for the ten of you..."

"I'm still curious to know what will happen to the first person eliminated."

When Morty finished speaking, Number 12's eyes and expression clearly changed.

Despite his reason and knowledge telling him that this was a trap, a pitfall, a scheme specifically designed for Rick.

But it is extremely tempting.

It's like preferring to believe something exists rather than not believing it doesn't.

If that old man really did secretly give Morty a backdoor, then their group will go to great lengths to defeat Morty in this game.

Is it for himself or for Number One?

If the losers' fate is death for all, then Number 1 took away a large amount of resources, and these people were just resource suppliers.

When the money in hand is about to run out, will Number 1 really be willing to spend money to save him?

However, Number 12 is not someone who changes his mind easily.

In addition to slowing down the pace of the game, they are also trying to use the resources at hand to overcome the limitations of space delay technology on teleportation guns.

So, Number 12 glared at Morty and didn't want to talk to him.

However, for Morty, these words were taken to heart by the other party, which planted the seeds of conflict.

When the right opportunity arises, they will burst forth and fight each other to the death.

As for whether Grandpa granted himself an exemption after losing the game?

That was purely made up by Morty himself.

After all, there's no one secretly talking in your head, or you passing by a trash can and finding a piece of paper with walkthrough tips in your hand.

So the game still has to be played, and the pits still have to be dug.

Who says you have to play a massively multiplayer board game in a serious manner?

When playing games like Werewolf, isn't the point to put psychological pressure on your opponents while playing?

So he patiently waited for an hour, letting these old geezers waste their time. When it was his turn, he quickly put down the dice and deposited some money into the bank.

Then he walked over to number 11.

The distance between 12 and 11 wasn't too far, and with his keen hearing, he overheard some of their conversation, so he already had some reservations about them.

It seems they don't intend to give Morty any chance to speak.

But Morty, who was determined to set a trap for the other party, would never allow the other party to refuse him.

If you don't want to listen, then I'll just slip you money!

After Morty handed over two-tenths of his cash to Number Eleven, Morty's ranking in the sky dropped to second place.

But every Rick who saw this change had a drastic change in expression.

Morty actually gave money to number 11?

What is he trying to do?

What is Number 11 doing again?!

What exactly happened between them?

The other Ricks, who had already distanced themselves from 11 and 12, began to feel restless because they couldn't see what was happening here.

Fear stems from the unknown.

This statement is not an exaggeration when applied to any intelligent being.

When Rick and his friends saw this strange occurrence, they all began to speculate about what had happened.

And this thought.

Rick and his friends, who are naturally quick-witted and skilled in logic, probably guessed that Morty was trying to sow discord among them.

Under normal circumstances, they will not be disturbed.

But the coordinates of this universe were left by Grandpa. As Grandpa's only Morty, wouldn't Morty have some secrets?

He cheated outright, taking six steps at once; even Grandpa arranged it for Morty.

Are there other cheating methods that Morty never mentioned?

Number 1, who was just two turns away from Morty, became nervous when he saw the change in the amount of money.

He could clearly sense that Morty had stepped outside the rules of the game and was playing it from a higher perspective.

If Morty is just foolishly trying to beat Rick by using the game rules plus cheating, then Number 1 would laugh out loud on the spot.

But Morty's gameplay has changed, which means that Morty's thinking has already taken a step to a higher level.

As members of Rick's group, they had researched why Rick needed Morty.

In the field of brain structure analysis, even the constantly arguing Morty school of thought unanimously agrees on the same conclusion.

Once Morty focuses on a certain direction, he becomes invincible when it comes to that direction.

Even Rick couldn't defeat him in this direction through sheer force.

The most obvious example is Morty from C137, that lower-body warrior. Whenever it comes to pushing girls, that usually cowardly little bastard turns into a coward.

When fighting against C137, the win rate is a whopping 50%!

So, which direction does the P850 Morty actually take?

Chapter 052 Ideas

"Me? What do I like? What am I focused on?"

When Morty, who was trying to trap Rick and his friends, was asked a question in return by Number 7, he couldn't help but burst out laughing on the spot.

Because he is considered to be someone who partially agrees with C137's views.

That is, nihilism.

Sometimes, Morty would ask himself these questions.

Is there really anything meaningful about all of these people, all of these things, even the breeze that brushes against your face?

He will die, he will die, she will definitely die, she absolutely has to die.

The Earth will be destroyed, the sun will explode, the universe will cool down, and in the end, nothing matters.

Since we know that the death of anything is inevitable.

Everything is just a matter of time, so is it really necessary for me to care about everything?

Even if I save my grandfather, he will still die someday, so why don't I let him die forever?

But everything has two sides, not just a narrow and extreme one.

After Morty completes his memories, he sees the time he spent with his grandfather, even though some of the adventures didn't end well.

But the excitement that arises from the initial stage of an event is related to novelty.

That feeling made everything meaningful.

Because Morty knew.

Everything eventually comes to an end.

People who drink and make merry all night will eventually return to their beds, exhausted, when the day comes.

Even the most busy factories must stop their roaring machines when faced with various challenges.

A newborn child, born alone, may die the next second, or he may pass away decades later, amidst the cries of his own child.

If you only think about the ending, everything will be in vain.

Instead of enjoying the journey, they indulge in those fleeting and intense emotional experiences.

Everything over there will truly be meaningless.

Joy, anger, worry, thought, grief, surprise, and fear—their very existence is like paint, filling the world before people's eyes with color.

Without people doing silly things and being funny, there is no joy.

Where no one does evil, there is no anger or fear.

If no one dies, then there will be no sorrow, longing, or grief.

So when Number 7 asked Morty what he liked, Morty immediately laughed because he liked... he liked going on adventures with his grandfather.

He went to one world after another that challenged his worldview, experiencing all kinds of customs and cultures, without killing, without anger, without sadness, but simply using all the joy as petals to pave his path to death.

That's it!

"I love going on adventures with my grandpa. The two of us put aside all our worries and live in one adventure after another, until one of us says 'Don't come to save me,' and the other finds a place to slowly die, putting an end to it all."

As Morty slowly recounted his initial insights...

Number 7, who had originally wanted to figure out Morty's weaknesses, gradually froze on his face.

It's like someone who's stubbornly refusing to accept something, only to find that everything they've been insisting on is utterly ridiculous.

And it's the kind of ridiculous that's truly laughable!

In an instant, Number 7, dressed in the uniform of the Ruicheng Commando Team, had tears in his eyes and pulled out a small silver watch from under his collar.

This was a gift from his Beth for his sixtieth birthday; it has a laser-printed family photo on the back.
