Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Covenant
Tang Dou really didn't expect to meet Impatiens in Kinunu City.
That's right, the master of the Fengxian Gate is the Fengxian Flower Ji who saved Tang Dou in the Manyuan Continent at the beginning. This woman who is suspected of being under Patton, like that Feng Fei, is the type that Tang Dou least wants to touch.
This type of woman is very good at taking advantage of her various natural advantages, and the purpose of their actions is unknown, until the time is clear, it is difficult to determine what their purpose is, and the most important thing is that even if you already know that the other party's purpose is contrary to your own, the other party's actions will have a lot of communication with you, thus forming a situation of mutual use.
Moreover, such a woman has an extremely complex and wide network, and in many cases, even if she deliberately avoids it, it is unlikely to succeed.
In the face of such a woman who can't be a direct enemy, can't be avoided, can't figure out the purpose correctly, can be an alliance most of the time, dig a pit for you at a critical moment, and still have a certain amount of affection for himself, Tang Dou is absolutely avoided.
Who knows, but I met Impatiens in Kinunu City.
Before, he wanted to pretend not to know, after all, his current image is a little different from when he was in the Barbarian Yuan Continent, but it is obvious that he is a little self-deceived, the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm is not very popular bald, plus the Impatiens know his ability to change, and the other party is suspected of the identity of Patton's subordinates, it is too easy to recognize him.
"Big brother said and laughed, a year ago, my little brother was still wandering in the Barbarian Yuan Continent, and I encountered some troublesome things, if it wasn't for the help of the Fengxian Sect Master at that time, I'm afraid I would have turned into white bones, and then I traveled to the Jiuxiao Continent and followed to the fog Yin, I really didn't expect to meet the Fengxian Sect Master again!" Tang Dou's explanation is tantamount to no explanation.
"The little ones are still as fun as ever! Sister, I didn't expect you to come to Kinunu City. I knew you were coming, and I would have come to Ren to rob people a long time ago! Impatiens said half-truths with a smile.
Ren Tianzhen was most concerned about this problem, and immediately looked at Tang Dou with a little nervousness. He now found that he still underestimated Tang Dou, if Tang Dou really jumped to the Fengxian Gate, he really didn't have a good way to take the other party.
Tang Dou smiled: "The eldest sister said that she was laughing." I wasn't from Quicksand Gate in the first place, but I came to help because I bowed to Brother Ren. And to be honest, this tea party is just an activity for Brother Ren to help me recommend the products of my workshop. Let's talk about it. Or do I rely on quicksand a lot. If the eldest sister has any small favors to let the younger brother help, just ask, as long as the younger brother can do it, it is incumbent! β
"Are you going to say in your next sentence that the slave family has to buy some of your things before that? Well, these bamboo products? Impatiens covered her mouth and chuckled.
"That's right. The eldest sister has to support the younger brother's business, but the younger brother is about to die of poverty, so I had no choice but to borrow the land of the eldest brother Ren and open a workshop to earn some travel expenses or something! Tang Dou said with a pitiful face.
Even Barris doesn't believe in this nonsense, how can a platinum level be poor like this? Even in a chaotic place like the Fog Hidden Continent, with Tang Dou's strength, he would not worry about money when he went to any force to be a guest, did this thing think that there were many masters above the platinum level in the entire Thousand Souls Spirit Realm?
Well, in a sense. Tang Dou really thought so. This tragic guy has been in contact with high-end combat power since he crossed over, so much so that he still has some kind of subtle error in his perception of the average strength line of the entire Thousand Souls Spirit Realm.
No matter what nonsense Tang Dou said, at least Ren Tianzhen put his heart back in his stomach now, and if he said such a thing in front of so many people, Tang Dou would have to weigh it if he wanted to regret it in the future, otherwise if he didn't say it if he lost face, it might cause more trouble. And Ren Tianzhen is not really inseparable from Tang Dou all the time, as long as the whole plan is officially launched, it doesn't matter whether there is Tang Dou or not, now it's just the beginning. So Ren Tianzhen still needs Tang Dou.
Tea party...... Or rather, the reception ended smoothly at the end.
Tang Dou is a person who is quite good at enlivening the atmosphere, with the experience of his previous life, he really talks about people when he meets people, and talks nonsense when he meets ghosts. and Sarandor he can talk about elegance; With Barris and Tunguska he was able to drink and talk. He can play with Xuanjizi and fight each other, and he can also have an ambiguous relationship with Impatiens Flower Ji. Not only will he not make the bigwigs of several gangs such as the Iron Armor Gang feel left out, but he can also make Ren Tianzhen, a suspicious guy, not think that Tang Dou wants to "betray" him.
This is Tang Dou's ability, a party that is not big or small, he is like a fish in water in it, and not everyone likes him. But at least no one hates him.
Until the end of the party, in fact, many parties did not talk about anything concrete, this first banquet was just a signal, a signal to other forces and wandering soul cultivators, as for the real actions and plans, it had to start later, and Ren Tianzhen could not pull other forces to talk about cooperation now, then this cooperation would be too worthless, he had to wait for several other forces to take the initiative to come to the door.
Sarando. As Tang Dou speculated, after the party, Vera asked Ren Tianzhen to order a batch of bamboo handicrafts. Not to mention the number of much, but not necessarily less, it is clear that this long-eared elf has completely entered the state - for Sarando, the biggest gain this time is the wonderful tea art realm and these art-like crafts, and she didn't think too much about the rest.
With the stubborn tradition of the elves, she will not think of interests in the first place.
These long-eared guys are a group of people who don't care too much about other things as long as things don't threaten their safety and basic interests. It is not that there are no radicals among them, but they are clearly in the minority.
Sarandor left with a batch of bamboo handicrafts, and some of the rest would have to wait a few days to be made, and when she knew that these things were all made by Tang Dou himself, she was even more impressed by Tang Dou. Obviously, she didn't know enough about Tang Dou, otherwise if she knew that Tang Dou had two fiancΓ©es around her, and one was a pure-blood elf, she wouldn't necessarily give Tang Dou a good look.
However, Tang Dou originally planned to test the reaction of the elves in this way, so he didn't think about hiding anything from the beginning.
When Xuanjizi left, he sincerely invited Tang Dou to be a guest, Tang Dou only coped with it a little, and did not really plan to go, Xuanjizi naturally saw Tang Dou's attitude, but he didn't care.
It was Impatiens who pulled Tang Dou aside: "Little guy, you have so many names." Xuanzang, Deng Liduo, Di Renjie, Nicholas. Which one is your real name? β
Tang Dou spread his hands with a rogue expression: "Is there a difference?" It's just a code name anyway! β
"Then I'll call you Nicholas!" Impatiens Flower Ji was not angry, covering her mouth and smiling delicately: "What kind of results do you plan to make in Kinunu City?" A new force? Or become the ruler of this continent? β
Tang Dou rolled his eyes: "Ruler? The eldest sister laughed. I'm just a wandering adventurer, and I'm the kind who can't help myself. β
"Oh? Little guy, what do you think is the strength? Is it a grade? Impatiens said meaningfully.
"Is there anything else? High technology? Tang Dou complained.
Impatiens smiled suddenly: "Although the slave family doesn't understand what you mean by high technology." But have you ever thought that no matter how strong a person is, there is a limit to his strength. Why do those diamond powerhouses only serve as protectors of war, but no one becomes kings? β
"At that level, the power of the world can't arouse much interest from them, right?" Tang Dou saw that there was something in Impatiens Flower Ji's words, and replied along with the other party's words.
"You really have to ask for everything. Why should they be the gods of war? Could it be that all those diamond powerhouses you meet are the kind of images that don't eat the fireworks of the world? Impatiens gave a mocking look.
Tang Dou thought back for a moment, among the diamond-level powerhouses he had encountered, there was really no one who was the type who had no desires. Or should it be said that among the diamond-level powerhouses he encountered, except for that Bi Zhe, the others were not only not desireless, but had a desire. Hope, a body of conspiracy calculations.
"Looks like you get it!" Seeing that Tang Dou was stuck, Impatiens continued: "At least until these people reach true omnipotence and nothing to ask for." In fact, they are all like ordinary people, they have their own desires. Hope, just desire. It's just a different direction. The reason why these diamond-level powerhouses have become the gods of war and the protectors of a certain big force is, in the final analysis, they are just cultivating their own forces! β
Tang Dou recalled Impatiens Flower Ji's words, and smiled dumbly: "Eldest sister, are you trying to persuade me to get a force of my own?" β
"Clever little guy. That's what the slaves do. Strength is not only your own level and combat power, but also your power. If your enemy has dozens of Crystal Tier, Emerald Tier under your command. Even if his own strength is lower than yours, he can easily kill you, right? Even if you become a diamond level 9, or even the legendary Great Sage level. Do you plan to do everything yourself? Impatiens said softly, and the words seemed to have magical power, stirring the desire in Tang Dou's heart. Hope.
After a long time, Tang Dou let out a long breath: "The eldest sister is so powerful, I almost fell for your trick." Say, what the hell do you want me to do? β
Regardless of whether what Impatiens said is reasonable or not. For Tang Dou, who is now eager to improve his own strength and get rid of Patton's control, once he has a desire. Hopefully, the attention has changed from self-improvement to development power, then he is doomed to have no future.
There are many traps in Impatiens Flower Ji's words, and the most obvious one is that none of those gods of war who protect the country became the god of war after becoming a diamond powerhouse, or it should be said that before they became the god of war, no one was stupid to develop their own power, and when they became the god of war, their power was self-contained.
Although this is also because they themselves are born in the system. A wild soul cultivator like Tang Dou, even if he becomes a soul cultivator, there is not necessarily any force that will become his vassal, and even if he becomes an existence of a big force, the other party will not necessarily fight against Barton for him.
Sooner or later, forces must be cultivated, but if we put our spirit on cultivating forces now, we will be putting the cart before the horse. It doesn't have enough hard power on its own, and in the face of super-spec existences like Patton, Wing, and Demon Heart Sect, even if the Tang Dynasty makes a country that dominates the continent, it is just a wedding dress for others.
And after a soul cultivator enters the platinum level, the most important thing is a mental problem, once the idea of "stopping" appears in one's heart, then it will be difficult to improve one's strength. The reason why many geniuses in the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm, who were originally extremely talented, never advanced an inch after becoming platinum level was because of this reason, because after they were promoted to the platinum level, they had the idea of "taking a break".
However, soul cultivation is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. Any idea of "relaxing" will have an impact before the actual day arrives.
Any existence that has become a diamond-level powerhouse is a determined person. Regardless of their own character, but in terms of sticking to this, they are impeccable, because people with flaws simply cannot become diamonds.
Impatiens Hua Ji's words were to make Tang Dou's mood flawed, which can be described as extremely vicious. I have to admit that Tang Dou was also a little shaken in an instant, but fortunately, he saw the truth in time and understood what he really needed, not only was he not bewitched, but he further improved his mood a little.
"Hee-hee, the little guy is amazing. The slave family thought it would take you a few days to figure it out! The conspiracy was revealed, but Impatiens Hua Ji didn't have a slightly embarrassed expression, covered her mouth and smiled: "Actually, the slave family, I just want to cooperate with the little guy!" β
"Cooperation? I've only been here for a month, what do you want me to do? Let's start with it, I'm a pacifist, and I don't do anything to fight and kill! Tang Dou felt that he would have to leave in a month anyway - three weeks to be exact. So no matter what Impatiens says, he just needs to pat his ass and leave when the time comes.
Impatiens smiled: "The slave family doesn't like to fight and kill!" In addition to these, there are many places where we can cooperate! β
"Like my workshop business? Hey, I don't care anyway, I'll let Quicksand Gate take over in a month, and then you can talk to Ren Tianzhen! Tang Dou shrugged indifferently.
"That workshop slave can look down on you. The slave family has a fancy to it, but you, little guy! Impatiens smiled charmingly.
"Let's talk about it first, I don't sell my body!" Tang Dou exaggerated his hands on his chest, with an expression of "If you want to come over again, I will scream".
Impatiens laughed and trembled, and after a while, she said, "Little one, remember your words." As long as it's not a matter of fighting, killing, you want the slave family to cooperate! With that, she drifted away.
After sending off the impatiens, Barris and Tunguska came to the door.
Tang Dou spit out a groin in his heart: "I'm like a big man, I keep meeting this and that!" (To be continued.) )
