"It's really a story of regret. "Lu Wu didn't know what expression to use to face this story, so he could only smile in the end."www.biquge.info

"Are you really sorry?" J asked rhetorically. "To be honest, I don't think so. He gambled with all he had, and although he failed, he had nothing to regret. Because he has done everything he can, and has done what he has to do. That being the case, there is nothing to regret about failing. ”

"Uncle, this can only be said that everyone has a different point of view. ”

The two of them were silent for a while, and Lu Wu had already eaten a pack of compressed biscuits. It must be said that this food is very hungry, because after eating a packet, I feel very full, so now I am just drinking water. J has skillfully disassembled the firearm and started to oil it (these corresponding tools are on the side).

"I feel like you have some questions for me. J said suddenly.

"Actually, it's not a problem, uncle...... Although it is not appropriate to say this, the two of us have a bit of a friendship. ”

"The grace of saving lives is not a small friendship. J replied.

"So, I want to ask you a question...... Originally, I was a person who had nothing, and in the original future, I was just a civil servant and lived a peaceful life in W City. Of course, it's better to have the opportunity to be a petty official, and there is really no chance that you can eat like this and wait for death for the rest of your life. When a big official makes a fortune or something, at most it's just a dream......" Lu Wu drank a big sip of water vigorously. "Then all of a sudden, I had good luck and looked back to find that what had been the most impossible dream had now become a reality. ”

"And you feel lost?" J laughed. But it's amazing that he didn't ask Lu Wu what kind of good luck he was.

"No, it's that I find that I'm not as happy as I thought I was. ”

"Haha...... Maybe it's just your delusion, it's just that your mindset hasn't changed yet. ”

"I believe this is not the right answer. Lu Wu replied. "Because I saw a completely happy person. My classmate, my best friend, I shared this good fortune with him, and then I found that he is very happy now. That kind of happiness that comes from the heart, can't be contained, and doesn't ask for self-explanatory. ”

"You started a company with your friend?" J didn't answer directly, but asked a question. "You seem to have mentioned it just now. ”

"Yes. ”

"Hehe, this question is actually very easy to answer, because it is my previous judgment, you are not suitable for shopping malls, and of course, you are not suitable for officialdom. You can hide your true nature, mingle in it, and live your life in a mess. Maybe when you get promoted or make a lot of money...... You can be happy for a while, and you can even throw a toast to a big feast. But, for you, that's not really happiness. Just like a game, it's good to win, but even if you win, it doesn't make you hate the game...... Do you think it is better to strive for a moment of brilliance or live to old age and death with a mediocre identity?"

"Normal people would choose the second one. Although J suddenly changed the topic, Lu Wu still answered.

"Well, that's true, this question really can only lead to this conclusion. But, Lu Wu, if you change the question and use the rest of your life to exchange the opportunity to be an emperor for ten years, are you willing to exchange?"

"This ......"

"Well, even if you're hesitant yourself, you don't deny that there are a lot of people who make this choice, right?" J said. Let's change the problem a little more, let's say that 20 years of a happy and fulfilling life is said to be a dull 40 years of life...... Which of the two?"

"I probably ...... I guess I'll choose the former. ”

"That's right, so am I. People vary greatly. Sometimes the difference is even so big that it is like a tiger can't eat grass and a cow can't eat meat. What makes everyone happy is different. Remember the first time we met, I gave you the proposal?"

"Yes. ”

"Do you know why I made this suggestion? half because of me, and half because of you. I can feel that you and I are the same kind of people...... Do you know about mercenaries, which have a bad reputation, but are actually very common. There are basically two kinds of mercenaries, one is desperate or has no better choice, and finally wants to fight with life for money, and there is another kind, that is, I really like the kind of knife that licks blood, and life is full of excitement all the time. Of course, there is a third type, that is, being deceived into this group, but this kind of person is very rare and can be ignored. ”

"You mean...... I'm naturally fit to be a mercenary?"

"I didn't say that, I just said that you weren't fit to do anything that was okay, because you wouldn't be happy with that kind of thing. I've met people like you because of my profession. Like the speculator I mentioned earlier. Some people are not born to live a stable life, and even if they enter politics and business, they will choose the most adventurous and exciting days. For example, mercenaries, speculators, gamblers, brokers, or the like. Then again, don't underestimate speculators. Think about it, everything you have, including your own life, could leave you in a day's time, and it's no different from licking blood from a knife. If you win, someone else jumps off the building, and if you lose, you jump off the building, which is exactly the same as the essence of a mercenary who kills or is killed, but the form of expression is different. J replied. "Just like the man I just said about jumping off the building, in fact, the difference between him and me is that he doesn't know how to use a gun. But as you can see now, in fact, anyone can learn how to shoot correctly in three minutes, and as long as there is a chance to practice guns, it takes three months to improve their marksmanship to a barely usable level. ”

As he spoke, J pulled his pistol out of his body and fired a shot at a distant target. Like the previous bullet, this shot hit the bull's-eye.

"Technology is advancing so fast that a lot of technology doesn't seem to make sense. Cold weapons such as swords, guns, and sticks require talent and guidance from famous teachers, and the next ten years of hard work can be regarded as achievements, but now ordinary people only need to have a qualified coach, a suitable gun, and practice for three or four months, and they can barely pass the marksmanship. ”

"Uh...... Well, uncle, you seem to be a professional killer, right? Why do you seem to be familiar with mercenaries?"

"I've been to the battlefield, posing as a mercenary. J replied lightly. "There was a civil war in a country, and I was hired to kill one of the generals. It took me three months to infiltrate the army, and in the fourth month I found an opportunity to kill my target. But before I could complete this mission, I charged like a real soldier to get a chance to get close to my goal, and I brushed shoulders with death several times. ”

"Uncle, I want to go back. Lu Wu suddenly didn't want to continue the topic. In other words, when a person's true inner thoughts are clearly laid out and placed under the sun, no matter what the idea is, it will make the person feel very uncomfortable. People always have to have some secrets.

"Okay, but there's only one car here, I'll take you to the city, and you can go back by yourself after you enter the city, and I may have to go back to deal with the scene." ”

When Lu Wu arrived at the door, the time on his mobile phone was already pointing to eight o'clock.

"It's only one day, but it feels like a year. Lu Wu said softly to himself. Speaking of which, he himself wondered how his psychological quality could be so strong. After experiencing these inexplicable things that others can't touch in their lifetimes, they can still be so calm.

"Partner, I finally got it. In the headphones, the voice of a master sounded. Speaking of which, the master seems to have been calm for a long time. Lu Wu knew that the master didn't need sleep (they had said it at the beginning of their acquaintance), but Lu Wu wasn't sure if the master needed to rest. Because the master is constant, well, silent for quite some time. Lu Wu estimated that this was a master surfing the Internet, because the number of times he called and used his mobile phone to surf the Internet did not increase, but the mobile phone bill text message showed that the increase in his Internet access fee was extremely obvious.

"Got it?"

It is still within the range of the New Year, the noisy nightlife of the city has not yet recovered, and there are few pedestrians on the streets, even if Lu Wu's voice is a little louder, he is not afraid of being heard.

"Partner, do you want to be famous?" the master did not answer, but immediately changed the subject.

"Famous, how, better not. Lu Wu felt that making a fortune in a muffled voice was more suitable for his own values.

"Hehe, some fame comes with risks, but some fame only has praise, isn't it? partner, I said, I will help you to the pinnacle of human society...... Of course, this is almost impossible for others, but for the existence of great wisdom like me, it is a piece of cake. ”

Lu Wu found that he couldn't remember what the master had done to reach the pinnacle of human society. In fact, from knowing the master to the present, in addition to the key role played by "time travel" this time (of course, this is also what the master himself said, Lu Wu has no way to verify), as well as some knowledge related to warlocks (although Lu Wu thinks it is more appropriate to call it "common sense"), it seems that he is really useless.

"What type of fame only has praise?" Lu Wu automatically ignored half of the master's words.

"Academics. The master replied. "Do you want to become a world-renowned university and scientist?"

"How can someone like me become a world-renowned scientist?" Lu Wu had to express surprise.

"Of course it is. Because the most important thing in the scientific community is the results, and the actual results are worth a thousand words in the debate. ”

"What do you mean...... But as you said, technology cannot be used universally in different worlds due to different laws. ”

"It's true that technology from different worlds is not universal—a change in the law can make the entire tech tree worthless. The constants of the universe, the fundamental forces, the elementary particles, and so on, all these basic elements involved in the law level, as long as there is a small change, can make the technological creations from another world instantly become waste, or even worse. But partner, after all, there are some things that won't change, for example, the Aether Sea. ”

Lu Wu understood what the master wanted to say in an instant.

"On earth, anyone can become a great scientist, as long as he comes up with tangible results. No identity, qualifications, academic qualifications, or the like can stop the actual scientific research results! And the so-called achievements are either to make a staged summary on the basis of the predecessors, or to create a road that has not been involved in the predecessors, and both can be. And as it happens, I happen to know a technological path that the earthlings have not yet pointed out. That is to pass through the boundary wall of the world, and outside is the sea of ether, which is an objective fact that any world in this multi-dimensional plane must face. And on Earth, there are no theories about this. ”
