Chapter 854: Return to the Villa
Mao Shibai used to like Li Shenzhou very much, and there is only one reason why he likes Li Shenzhou, that is, Li Shenzhou has always said that he likes power, and he has never had any concealment in his personal desires, some people say that he is a hero, some people say that he is a hero, some people say that he is a hero, but Mao Shibai feels that these two evaluations are not accurate, in Mao Shiba's heart, he feels that Li Shenzhou is a masterpiece.
Life is a hero, and death is also a ghost hero.
Only those who can face their hearts can take the first step towards success, in the relatively free environment of rivers and lakes, there are not too many rights and wrongs, good and evil, only success and defeat, after all, there are only a few characters like Xiao Feng, and online games are another river and lake, therefore, what players want to do in this can be expressed very directly.
Mao has never had power before, whether it is in online games or in reality, but he does not hate power, it should be said that he disdains people or words that desire power but hate it.
But power doesn't come just as it is, it's different from making money, in online games, the smaller power is the guild president or management, and the larger power is the professional team of some competitive games, but these two powers are not what Mao 18 needs, to put it mildly, what he wants is a kind of dominance.
There are often some such evaluations in martial arts, and a certain master has not yet appeared, so that the atmosphere of the scene can be condensed, simply put, this is a kind of momentum or aura, to be precise, this is called influence or credibility.
For example, Zhanzhao, as long as he appears in the Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness, whether it is a hero in the green forest or a bandit or a bandit, he will give him three points of face, and all the heroes in the team with Zhanzhao's escort will give three points.
Is Zhanzhao's martial arts very strong, no, at least not stronger than Ouyang Chun, the Beixia who is as famous as him, and even Zhang Long Zhaohu Dynasty Ma Han is not necessarily weaker than Zhanzhao, but compared with Zhanzhao, they all have a little less influence in black and white in the rivers and lakes.
Some people may say that it is very simple to want influence, strong strength, and you can get enough influence by taking more server achievements for a long time, but Mao Shibai knows that no matter how many copies he gets, he can't get the matching influence, and the reason is that he can't be "famous" in Haoxia.
I can't even see my name, and I will definitely not be famous if you can make anything, so Mao 18 decided to think differently, and he wants to become another form of celebrity.
And it just so happened that Haoxia prepared the best stage for him, a new legend in the rivers and lakes, the difference is that he wants to justify his name.
Deceiving the world and stealing fame is just a slogan put forward by Mao 18 to the three brothers of Lao Deng, no matter how much the three brothers of Lao Deng can understand this, or they have long forgotten it, but Mao 18 has never forgotten it, because he knows that this is the road he wants to take in the hero.
When his gaze returned to the face of Fuyun in front of him, Mao Shibai said with a faint smile.
"Why should I trust you?"
At this moment, Mao Eighteen's demeanor and tone have undergone some changes, and Fuyun also noticed it, but he couldn't tell what kind of change it was, but the only thing he knew was that Mao Eighteen's mentality was different from before, as long as his mood was different, then what he asked for would have a turnaround.
"I know that with the status of the two of us now, I really can't promise you too much, but at the moment I am still the vice president of the Golden Lion Dynasty, as long as you have what you need, and I can meet it, even if you propose, I will meet it together!"
Fuyun's words only made Mao Eighteen smile faintly, and then said.
"Today's conversation is only known to you and me, do you understand?"
Hearing this, Fuyun's heart was already ecstatic, how could he not know what kind of deep meaning was hidden behind Mao Eighteen's words, he immediately nodded again and again, when he just wanted to ask himself what price he had to pay, but saw that Mao Eighteen had already turned his head and left.
After leaving, Mao Eighteen returned to Yongye and the others, and Yongye saw Mao Eighteen coming over and immediately said.
"What's the matter, do you still have acquaintances in Wansong Villa?"
When he said this, his eyes glanced at Rong Rong and Ziyi on the side, and he said goodbye to which confidante he was in the rivers and lakes.
"It's that floating cloud of the Golden Lion Dynasty, he has something to do with me!"
Mao Eighteen didn't hide anything, but Yongye and the others were shocked when they heard about it, but when they wanted to ask, they were a little hesitant, although Mao Eighteen answered very frankly, but if they asked at this time, it seemed that they didn't trust their good brothers.
Only a knife will not have such concerns.
"Brother Dao, what's the matter with him looking for you, it can't be that he wants to find you privately, right?"
Xiaodao's words made Yongye and the others move in their hearts, Xiaodao, a primary school student, was really open-mouthed, but he also happened to ask the question in their hearts at this time, Mao Shibai said with a faint smile.
"Oh, he wants to be the president of the Golden Lion Dynasty Guild, so he came to me for help."
Yongye was taken aback after hearing this, and together with Ziyi and Rong Rong, they all looked at Mao Eighteen in surprise, and Rong Rong hurriedly asked.
"Raven, you didn't promise him, did you?"
Mao Shibai glanced at her and said with a smile.
"Why not?"
Rong Rong looked at Mao Eighteen, and suddenly felt a little strange, but Yongye on the side asked with a frown.
"How are you going to help him?"
Although Yongye sounds very unbelievable at first glance, after all, as far as Mao Shibai knows him, it seems that he doesn't care about this kind of "Jianghu affairs" at all, but the biggest difference between Yongye and Lao Deng and others is that he identifies his brother, so no matter what his brother wants to do, he will support him.
"It's very simple, it's not enough to have a plot of killing a teacher, killing a wife and a friend in Wansong Villa, even if it's a rehearsal of the Xiangyang City Martial Arts Conference."
Although Mao Eighteen's words were plain, they sounded thunderous to Rong Rong and others, although they all knew that what Mao Eighteen said was the original plot of the Full Moon Scimitar, but after all, it was, and it was different from reality, and in reality, who would go out of their way to kill their master's wife and friends?
But Yongye quickly realized at this time that what Mao Shibai said was not really looking for such a pen, but planning to act in a play in the full moon scimitar, and this play and the later Xiangyang City Martial Arts Conference were also derived from the original work.
"What are you going to do?"
Yongye asked this question for the second time, at this moment Mao Shibai looked at Yongye, and felt a little emotion in his heart, he knew that people like Li Shenzhou could only appear in it, and even a hero like Cao Cao didn't dare to talk about his ambition to plot the world all day long, this kind of person was naïve, in the words of officialdom, he had no political mind.
But Eternal Night still supports him so much, which makes Mao 18 very pleased.
When Mao Eighteen said his specific thoughts, everyone was silent, even the favorite Xiaodao and Rong Rong did not speak, although they had already decided to go to Xiangyang City to participate in the martial arts conference, but now when they learned some of Mao Eighteen's plans, they all felt that this did not seem to be the way they wanted to play.
"Isn't that a lie?"
Knife asked, Mao Eighteen looked at him, and didn't answer the question, because he didn't know how to explain it to Knife, but this purple clothes suddenly spoke.
"I'm willing to go." Mao Eighteen and Fuyun met again, and roughly talked about the specific plan of action, when Fuyun learned that Mao Eighteen planned to conduct a plot review of the Full Moon Scimitar in Wansong Villa, he was shocked at first, but then waved his hand and shouted.
"Good way, you're amazing, how did you come up with it?"
Fuyun was extremely excited at this time, wanting to get the Golden Lion off the stage and let himself come to power, Fuyun is definitely a conspirator, although there are not many such people in online games, but there are definitely a lot, and even such conflicts of interest are common even in a small team.
Mao Eighteen didn't answer, just looked at him, Fuyun also calmed down at this time, he knew that Mao Eighteen came to him today, not to discuss with him what to do, but Mao Eighteen had already made a plan, just need Fuyun to participate in it and do what he should do.
"But there's a hard part."
Fuyun thought about it and then said.
"The Golden Lion Dynasty was created by the Golden Lion, and at the beginning of the establishment of the guild, there were four other elders besides me, if these four people refuse to cooperate at that time, I will have no problem."
After Fuyun's words were finished, he looked at Mao Eighteen, but he saw a secretive smile on the latter's face, which made Fuyun immediately wake up, if this script is just Mao Eighteen busy alone, and he is just a small role in cooperating with things, even if he can finally do what he wants, then does he still need a person like him?
So soon Fuyun laughed.
"I'll take care of these four people."
The two talked about some more topics and then said goodbye to each other for a long time and left, just waiting for the day when the script was played.
After Mao Shibai left, his heart did not calm down because of this, on the contrary, he was very conflicted, because he did not know whether it was right or wrong for him to do this.
He still remembered that day, Yongye said a sentence when evaluating Ye Gucheng, he said that Ye Gucheng, a person with a desire for profit, has been fighting for power all his life, intrigue, how can a person like him dive into studying martial arts, although Gu Long's positioning when he appeared on Ye Gucheng was that he was a top master who could compete with Dugu Yihe and Mudao people, but such a person could not make readers resonate like that anyway.
And now Mao 18 is embarking on a "wrong path" that Yongye thought at the beginning.
But soon Mao Shibai settled down, no matter whether he really felt that this was the road he believed to be at this time, or those drug addicts thought they were just trying drugs before taking drugs, at least in the two plays of Wansong Villa and Xiangyang City, he couldn't turn back.
Halfway to the road, Yongye suddenly appeared in Mao Eighteen's field of vision, he did not choose to wait at the agreed place, but intercepted himself halfway to the way, Mao Eighteen knew that Yongye had something to say to him alone.
"What, master, you came out halfway, did you plan to take advantage of the chaos to give me a sneak attack, but you weren't ready yet?"
Mao Eighteen smiled and quipped, in the past, whenever this kind of time Eternal Night would come to fight with Mao Eighteen, but today she was calm and angry, and only said after Mao Eighteen finished teasing.
"Old eight, what do you want to do, why can't I understand it more and more?"
The problem of eternal night is also the question that Mao Eighteen raised to himself before, the road of fighting for power and profit, Mao Eighteen has not walked, although he himself feels that the power in his heart is not the same as the power recognized by the world, but after all, it is still the same way.
Moreover, if he wants to gain influence, it means that he must be recognized by others, and from this point of view, it is completely contrary to his past value orientation of not caring about the eyes of others and not caring about the major lists in online games.
"What's so hard about that?"
Mao Shibai asked with a smile on his face, Yongye didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, so he asked again.
"You helped Fluttershy to pay off the debt, so I admit it, but you helped Fuyun, it can't be because he owes a love debt to a confidante, right?"
Yongye's words almost didn't make Mao Eighteen squirt out, thinking where is this, and laughed in surprise.
"I'll go, I'm such a swinger brother in your heart?"
Yongye also laughed at this time, in the past, he and Mao Eighteen often quarreled, Mao Eighteen even teased him for fun, and Yongye was no exception, but this time, Yongye came with a lot of heart, in his own words, this was the first time in the past few years that he was so concerned about other people's affairs.
"Anyway, I think something is wrong with your mystery, tell me honestly, what is your purpose in helping Fuyun seize the Golden Lion Dynasty Guild, do you want to destroy the Golden Lion Dynasty Guild?"
Eternal Night's question made Mao Eighteen ponder for a moment, he was not looking for an excuse, but sorting out how to answer the question, and after a while, Mao Eighteen asked Eternal Night a question, a question that he had thought of the answer to in the past.
"What kind of realm do you want to pursue?"
Mao Eighteen's question made Yongye stunned, but he answered immediately without thinking about it.
"Be a first-class assassin in online games, and no one will want to survive in my hands."
Eternal Night replied with great pride, in fact, he is almost such a strength now, it can be said that he is a great hero, except for Mao Eighteen, Eternal Night is confident that he can do this against any enemy, even against enemies like Fluttershy and Ouyang Ke.
Eternal Night's answer did not surprise Mao Eighteen, it should be said that this was the easiest answer to think of, but soon Mao Eighteen continued to ask.
"What if the difference in strength is too big?"
Eternal Night replied without thinking.
"There is no difference in strength, there is always a time when people are alone, there is always a time to fight monsters and blood, there is always a time when they are beyond the reach of strength, there are always times when they are in trouble or even a desperate situation for various reasons, and at that time he has to be careful."
Eternal Night's words made Mao Eighteen show a look of approval, this is the realm that Eternal Night is in now, a professional killer will look for all opportunities to kill the enemy, and all the flaws in the enemy, the way and method are not important, what the killer is pursuing is just the result.
Of course, from this point of view, it is reasonable that players like Eternal Night are not recognized.
"What's this for, you ask?"
Yongye was a little puzzled, he had always felt that Mao Eighteen was higher than his own realm, and he also knew what he was pursuing, after all, Mao Eighteen's strength was stronger than him, and every time he made a move, it was a good proof.
"Okay, my last question, what do you do when you know you can't kill your opponent?"
Mao Eighteen's question made Eternal Night stunned for a moment, this seems to be a story of a spear and a shield, Eternal Night is a spear, and the opponent is a shield, what will be the result if the sharpest spear and the strongest shield collide together?
Looking at the way Eternal Night meditated, Mao Eighteen knew that Eternal Night would not be able to get an answer, or that he never thought that his sharp spear would encounter a strong shield one day, because he always believed that there was no strong shield in front of him.
"Well, I'll admit you're the strongest shield out there."
Yongye thought for a long time and actually came to such a conclusion, which made Mao 18 stunned, but soon Mao 18 laughed, laughing made Yongye very unhappy but helpless.
"I thought you'd say that no matter how strong the shield is, you'll be consistent."
Mao Eighteen's words did not make Yongye show a sudden expression of enlightenment, in fact, he thought of answering this sentence, but he knew that this answer did not have any meaning, because this is not the strong is strong, but the collision between the strongest and the strongest, and obviously, Yongye has never reached such a peak realm, so he doesn't know what the result of the collision between the strongest is.
After Mao Eighteen finished speaking, Yongye tilted his head and asked.
"Then what do I do if I run into this strongest shield?" "Sell me."
Mao Eighteen said his answer very calmly, Yongye was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but then a shocked expression rose on his face, he stared at Mao Eighteen for a long time, until he didn't see the slightest hint of joke on Mao Eighteen's face.
"You just said that there will always be times when the enemy will fall into decline, but have you ever thought about it, many opportunities are not passive waiting, but need to be created by yourself."
Mao Eighteen's words made Eternal Night silent, he knew that Mao Eighteen was right, but killers are like snipers, they can only wait for opportunities in the shadows, although they can plan all preparations to the extreme, but if the opponent they want to assassinate does not take this route, or if there is a sudden turn, it may make their preparations go to waste.
However, professional killers and snipers have one thing in common, and that is that they are absolutely able to endure loneliness, and even if they fail, they can start over because they don't fail every time.
But what Mao 18 said seems to be no longer what a killer should do on the surface, but more like what a politician will do.
Sell Mao Eighteen, no matter who he sells it to, whether it is Halberd Sinking Sand, Ouyang Ke, or Holy Light Redemption, Dream Lonely City, Xuanwu Marquis, as long as he takes advantage of the fame and wealthy guilds that Mao Eighteen has broken out of at the moment, it is not difficult to create some opportunities conducive to assassination.
And the difficulty is whether Eternal Night will take this step.
"I'm not going to do that!"
Yongye made a clear promise to Mao Eighteen that he was the kind of person who made a promise, and the words he said were like water that could not be recovered.
But his words made Mao Shibai slowly shake his head and said.
"Don't say anything too much, you should know what I mean."
Yongye was silent again, he knew that what Mao Shibai said was not wrong, the higher he was from the realm he was pursuing, the more perfect he was from the extreme requirements of the killer, then he would one day face such a choice.
Still, Eternal Night said in the affirmative.
"As long as we're friends, I'll never do anything like this to you!"
It is indeed a great blessing in life to have friends like this, but Mao Eighteen is not here to sigh the brotherly relationship between him and Eternal Night today, Mao Eighteen said at the moment.
"Right now, I've entered a bottleneck period."
Mao Eighteen's words shocked Yongye's heart, and then looked at Mao Eighteen in disbelief, he knew that Mao Eighteen would never deceive him when he said this, but Mao Eighteen had really reached that point, and Yongye had also reached the bottleneck period, and he knew very well what it meant.
During that time, Eternal Night frantically played various different types of online games, participated in qualifying tournaments and ladder matches of major competitive games, wrote anonymous theoretical articles related to his profession on forums, and even signed up for the professional league in his city.
He was completely obsessed with the art of assassination, and although he received countless glories, unfortunately, these were not what he wanted.
And his breakthrough came from an unexpected chance, which was a turn-based online game.
There is a saying that only those who can stand in RPG online games are called output, those who can't stand are cannon fodder, and those who can shoot in turn-based online games are called output, and those who can't be sealed are wooden stakes, and others don't bother to hit you if they can't make a move.
Eternal Night had never played a turn-based online game before, and he felt that that kind of online game was not competitive at all, and he chose this turn-based online game by accident, and he used a fighter with extremely high agility and fast shooting speed in the game.
But no matter how fast he is, he is still a warrior in terms of the choice of equipment or gems, which means that he can't be faster than a warlock class who can seal the spell anyway, so even if he can be faster than all the output, he is also killed by the seal, after all, this is the different positioning of the two professions.
Until one time Eternal Night met a player, he also played a warrior of the class Eternal Night, but the difference was that he did not choose high speed, but chose high resistance sealing.
Yes, he converted all the attributes of agility into the stamina attributes needed to increase the chance of sealing, for example, the same level of 500 stamina against the opponent 100 stamina can reach more than 90% of the sealing chance, then this warrior player will also increase his stamina to 300 or even 350 or more, greatly reducing the endurance gap between each other, in order to reduce the opponent's sealing chance.
At that time, Eternal Night was shocked to see this player's gameplay, and he asked this player.
"Are you still playing as an assassin?"
The other party glanced at him and said.
"Do Assassins have to be high-speed and high-burst? Who prescribes? ”
Eternal Night suddenly dawned on him, and he knew that he had been blocked by an invisible barrier in the past, which had caused him to form a conceptual limitation.
This player's style of play makes him in addition to not being fast enough, any other item is enough to match any opponent, high endurance means high defense, resistance to sealing while ensuring survivability, and his damage has not been reduced, because the opponent's warlock who can seal also needs to take into account the two attributes of endurance and agility, the speed is slow to make a move, and the low endurance sealing rate is not enough, so you only need to change your thinking, and you can easily find a way to crack it.
However, as the high-stamina output stream of play was gradually innovated, the all-endurance sealing class gradually became popular again, and they gave up speed, and if 500 stamina was not enough, then 700 stamina, ensuring a sealing chance of more than 85% of the same level.
And most turn-based online games have the option of setting attack gems or speed gems on the ring, and for warriors and warlocks, there is no doubt about the selection of gems, so even full-stamina warlocks can still guarantee their high-speed advantage, and in the past, high-speed advantages were not used to restrain output, but to target the opposite warlock.
Although in the end, Eternal Night didn't get much of a high award in that turn-based online game, but his goal was achieved, and he managed to break through the bottleneck, because he understood that nothing is static, and the same is true for assassins, and the same is true for ideas, depending on whether you can push the envelope.
Back to the present, what is the bottleneck period of Mao Eighteen, Yongye does not know, but combined with his own past, Yongye can understand that when people like them enter the bottleneck period, their thinking will change drastically, and they will try all feasible methods to try to break through the bottleneck, and the opportunity to break through is often in the kind of field that has not been involved at all.
"So, you actually have another purpose for helping Floating Cloud and helping Fluttershy?"
Yongye made a summary, Mao Eighteen nodded, and then said.
"Although I don't have a practical plan right now, so I can't tell you exactly what I want to achieve, but what I can say to you is that we are good brothers at all times!"
The first half of Mao Eighteen's words and the latter sentence seem to have no connection, but Yongye still understands it, and he knows that what Mao Eighteen wants to do may indeed be earth-shattering, but as long as there is his later guarantee, Yongye will be at ease.
But soon Eternal Night asked again.
"What about the Demon Kendo Guild?"
Mao Eighteen didn't smile this time, but said after pondering for a moment.
"I don't know, maybe not, maybe I will, who knows?"
Eternal Night stopped talking when he had finished listening. Take a hundred times to read the latest chapter of "The Strongest Dharma King Claw Book House in Online Games" for free for the first time.
