Chapter 24: Teamwork
Regarding the liberation of the soul, Zhu Jue's situation is undoubtedly different from ordinary people.
If the growth of the soul is regarded as the construction of a house, most people naturally have to start by laying the foundation, which simply means that they need to find a way to perceive the energy changes in the soul or spiritual power.
Most of the travelers enter the dream realm as ordinary people, they may rely on modern technological weapons and abilities to fight extremely strongly, but without exception their souls are in a state of self-isolation, according to the gentleman, this is the general norm of modern people.
Therefore, everyone is looking for items similar to the liquor in the starter pack to help them feel the spiritual power, but some people are born with a talent for this, maybe a special glass of liquor can barely detect some of it, and more people need to change quantitatively to complete the qualitative change.
And in this process, no one has thought of using modern technology to analyze those special items and make them artificially, but the results are all failures without exception, because those things themselves are specialty, no matter how they are analyzed, there is always a trace of man-made differences, and this trace often means a gap like a trench.
As the gentleman said, most of the people who need to win by quantity are those whose bodies have been armed and transformed, and their bodies are no longer pure......
Zhu Jue didn't listen carefully to this part, he was not interested in discussing this kind of philosophical question with the gentleman, so he skipped it directly, and secretly congratulated himself in his heart that he hadn't tried to put a chip in his brain before.
Straight to the point.
While others were laying the foundation, Zhu Jue's "house building" process started from the top floor of the building, which may seem strange, but the reality is so, and in Zhu Jue's self-analysis, he quickly realized that this situation was not simply due to the help of the great race.
The real reason is the mental change after he crossed into this world.
His spirit was mixed with their will early because of the behavior of the bear monster and the evolution of some other monster from the source of spiritual pollution, which quietly grew while his soul was polluted, the blizzard of the bear monster, the water control of the deep diver, and the spiritual perception of nightmares...... These abilities themselves are a manifestation of the strength of the spiritual will.
At the same time, in Rongxia City, he awakened his soul by chance, and when he first met the Great Race in the desert, his soul had become a similar monster due to the influence of the monster from the source of spiritual pollution.
Then came the boundless, indescribable cloud of flesh and blood encountered in the valley of Swalt, and the unexpectedly purified soul of the giant flesh monster that was supposed to be a soul-shattering monster.
In the end, in the four-way battle in the snowfields of Greenland, the soul was finally stabilized through the crystal of the ancients.
The danger of this is that it is unprecedentedly powerful at the moment when it breaks the ice five years later, and what the great race has done is nothing more than to open the shackles on Zhu Jue's soul.
Now that Zhu Jue's foundation and part of the framework have been completed, all he has to do is to do his best to flesh out the content and think about how to make this building taller, which is a bit like "house decoration".
"Like something in the Starter Pack before, there are a lot of them in that world?"
Stopping to think for a while, Zhu Jue leaned on the bookshelf beside him and took his question one step further.
"Of course, it's just that getting them often requires some prerequisites, such as pleasing the monsters that guard them, or...... A more straightforward approach. β
As he spoke, the gentleman picked up a cylinder from the tabletop, unscrewed the lid, took out a blank piece of paper from it and handed it to Zhu Jue, and continued,
"I said in the corridor before, as long as you are willing to join my team, you will get preferential treatment, this is the contract I prepared for you, the content of which is only known to you and me, and only the two of us know!"
"What age is this, paper contracts?"
Zhu Jue stepped forward to accept the contract and asked in some surprise.
"A contract of paper is more effective than any empty promise, and although it is not legally binding, I think it allows us to achieve a certain degree of alignment of purpose compared to the complete misery of other traveler teams, and this contract is not just you, and some of the terms of the contract are recognized by everyone on the team. β
Gentlemen seem to be very fond of this kind of contractual cooperation, which is not unreasonable, most people will maintain a certain degree of integrity under normal circumstances, especially when the interests of both parties are aligned, no matter who will subconsciously abide by the existing treaty.
Zhu Jue glanced at the contract in his hand, and the content on it was roughly all kinds of terms that both parties to the contract needed to fulfill, most of which were clichΓ©s, and Zhu Jue was more concerned about the distribution of benefits.
"If there is a common task during the trip, then after the end of the task, the benefits will be distributed according to the contribution of the task, and if there is any deficiency, Party A must make up for it...... What does it mean to have a common mission, that we don't act together?"
Zhu Jue thought that he had to follow the team action of the guy in front of him, and he was still a little repulsed by this, but he didn't expect that the terms of the contract showed a different meaning.
"Of course not, the dream world is very large, we may appear in different places every time we travel, I will not restrict your freedom, nor will I interfere with what you have to do, you can use me as an intermediary or guide in this regard. β
After turning to the desk and sitting down, the three fingers of his left hand were spread to support his cheeks, the gentleman's gaze stayed on Zhu Jue, and said,
"I will help you to gain a foothold in the Dream Realm as soon as possible and provide information like just now, but this is not gratuitous, I will also encounter troubles that one person cannot solve or want to get treasures, and then I will naturally need your help, and in the same way, if you are hunted down by Dream Eaters or local natives, you can also seek my help, and this help will undoubtedly need to pay a certain amount of money, otherwise even if you die in front of me, I will not move even a finger...... The weak are not qualified to survive in the Fantasy Dream Realm, and being killed only proves that they are nothing more than that!"
Only at this time, the gentleman's body will appear as if there is a certain kind of cold power, when he found that Zhu Juebiao was still unmoved, immediately changed the words: "The preferential treatment I give you is among them." β
"Heh, it seems that there is still such a thing as differential treatment?"
Zhu Jue put down the contract with great interest, he wanted to hear what the gentleman's so-called preferential treatment was.
"Of course, you are very strong, there is no doubt about this, after all, there are not many people who can kill Mr. Boar with a head-on blow, so as long as you are willing to help me, then every time you are paid, I will give you something extra when you settle, and even tell you some special information about the dream realm for free, I value your potential, so I want to win you over!"
The gentleman's words couldn't be more straightforward, he was courting Zhu Jue, and he hadn't even entered the dream realm yet, he wanted Zhu Jue to stand with him first.
"I'm embarrassed to say that, after all, I'm just a mediocre person. β
Just the right amount of joy to show the emotion, as for whether Zhu Jue will have a good impression of him because of the gentleman's overtures, the answer is naturally no.
The two sides have talked so far to a large extent just a test of each other, the gentleman obviously hopes to be able to use or use Zhu Jue's power to accomplish something, and Zhu Jue also needs him to help him figure out what this so-called dream realm is for the time being.
Now it is a matter of taking what each needs to take, and the apparent peace naturally needs to be maintained, what will become of it in the future..... Naturally, say otherwise.
Knock knock~
Zhu Jue also wanted to ask some more things before the trip started, when there was a knock on the door.
"Looks like your teammates have arrived...... This is the second time we've met, and I don't know what to call you yet. β
"Nickname?"
"Of course, even though we're a team, privacy is very important. β
Naturally, the title of rat and wild boar cannot be the real name.
"Wind chimes. β
Zhu Jue casually sold the wind chime, and the wind chime that was in a daze on his shoulder also responded, and the gentleman didn't say anything after noticing it.
It's just a code name, as long as the other party is willing, even if it is called a rotten sweet potato gentleman, it doesn't matter, get up and walk to the back of the door and grab the doorknob to open it.
When the first came was a young woman with tan skin, probably black blood, but her facial features were quite delicate, she behaved very calmly, and only nodded when she saw the gentleman.
"This is Miss Black Swan, a member of the team who has participated in 5 trips, and she is the most experienced besides me. β
The gentleman introduced it appropriately, but Zhu Jue didn't communicate much with this woman, the latter seemed to be used to seeing newcomers, and after noticing Zhu Jue's existence, he only glanced at it twice and then withdrew his gaze.
Behind the black swan are two men who came in side by side, it should be good to see that they are talking and laughing, the person on the left is strong, the muscles are distinct, and he should be similar to the previous wild boar, compared to the figure of the person on the right, the figure is a little thin, but his eyes are particularly sharp, Zhu Jue noticed that he locked his position as soon as he entered the door, and then bowed down to the gentleman with the strong man next to him.
Obviously, the friendship between these two people and the gentleman is obviously not as good as that of the black swan.
"This is Mr. Rhinoceros, who has been on 2 trips, and Mr. AK, who is a newcomer like you, who just took 1 trip just over a week ago...... Three, this is the new member of our team to replace Mr. Boar, Mr. Wind Chimes. β
The gentleman deliberately emphasized the substitution of the boar, and after he finished speaking, the expressions of the rhinoceros and AK changed.
The rhinoceros looked at Zhu Jue with a little unkind gaze, but he didn't say anything, just nodded indifferently to indicate that he knew and turned to the side, as for AK, he obviously showed kindness, maybe because there was another newcomer, which made him feel that his status had risen, so he smiled and nodded to Zhu Jue.
