Chapter 14 Peace Negotiations
The old man didn't let go of Nangong Ming's careful thoughts, and said lightly: "I know that you are a little unconvinced. You're still too young and haven't experienced any setbacks, so it's not surprising to have such thoughts, and I don't blame you. But I want to tell you that those who achieve great things must not be stuck in a momentary mood, but must think about problems from as many angles as possible, so as to find more solutions. ”
"Since the opportunity to kill the first boss was obtained by that kid, then you let him walk the path that was originally prepared for you to walk, and then take him for your own use after cultivating him as a top player, this is what a person who has achieved great things should do."
"But I've just had such a big conflict with him, will he really want to join us?"
"You can rest assured that, judging by your description, it was a very capable, very intelligent, very ambitious young man, who knew what was best to do...... If I'm guessing correctly, he's probably added your friend by now, and he's ready to sell you the boss stuff at a bargain price to repair your relationship. ”
Nangong Ming frowned slightly, he felt that his father had overestimated that kid.
He admits that the kid does have some ability, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to kill the twelve of them in that situation, which is something that even the mythical 'Wu' of the game would never have been able to do.
But he thinks that it is only because the other party has had some adventures, and he has obtained very powerful acceleration items and dwarven crossbows to achieve this miraculous team fight, not how strong his strength is. In terms of the level of the game, he believed that none of his subordinates would be worse than that kid.
"Don't think that the other party can only be just lucky, and there are some adventures that can destroy you." The old man saw through Nangong Ming's careful thinking at a glance, and opened his mouth to admonish: "If you don't have enough ability, even if you have a good adventure in front of you, you can't catch it." And you don't think he's just lucky enough to run into you fighting a boss, right? ”
Nangong Ming was stunned for a moment, and also realized that something was wrong.
Indeed, the timing of that kid's appearance was a little too clever, and to say that it was all a coincidence, then his luck was a little too good. But if he was there from the beginning, it all makes sense.
As for why he deliberately chose to wait there, it is not difficult to imagine the reason.
"You said before that he killed you with one shot when you were about to make a negotiation, but do you think he really just 'accidentally' gave you a second when he wanted to make peace?"
Nangong Ming had a long mouth and an expression of disbelief.
If you think about it, the arrow that flew at that time was indeed a bit ingenious. In terms of position and profession, it seems that he should not be the target of his opponent's priority attack, but he still chose to attack himself, and his purpose is self-evident......
"For the average player, killing the first lord boss in the game will at most make him imposing for a while in the early game, but he will eventually become a member of the general public. Therefore, for them, the value of a first-kill boss will not be more attractive than tens of thousands of bright bills. ”
"However, for a capable and ambitious professional player, the benefits that the game's first lord boss can bring are incalculable. He can take advantage of this huge advantage to snowball in the game and eventually earn tens of millions of assets in the later stage. One step first, step by step, I don't think you don't understand, right? ”
But even so, he didn't force the boss to grab it at the beginning, but seriously considered your proposal. Because he knows that even if he can rely on his own strength to forcibly snatch the boss, he will inevitably face retaliation from you later, which is undoubtedly extremely detrimental to his development. ”
"But if your side starts to default first, then he can have the moral upper hand even if he snatches the boss. After that, as long as you cast some kindness, such as selling the boss drop to you at a low price, you can easily resolve the feud between you...... Of course, the premise of all this is that he can't give you a chance to make peace. ”
After listening to his father's analysis, Nangong nodded convincingly.
Judging from the previous situation, this is indeed the most realistic speculation.
In this way, it is true that the kid did not rely on adventure alone to obtain such great benefits, but did have the real talent and practical learning that matched it, and he could indeed afford the comment that he was 'very capable, very intelligent, and very ambitious'.
However, whether it was the person in charge of the Nangong family or Nangong Ming, they actually overestimated Ling Yu a little.
Ling Yu's choice to kill Nangong Ming at that time was really just a coincidence.
For him, one million is already an unimaginable astronomical amount, and he doesn't expect to get more money from the game at all, so he will never rob the boss if he can ensure that he gets the money.
Ling Yu, who didn't know that he had just walked back and forth in the Ghost Gate Pass, quit the game and began to prepare dinner.
After looking at the refrigerator and finding that there were not many materials in it, Ling Yu decided to go out and make purchases.
He came to Lin Suya's room, knocked on the door, and said, "Sister Aya, I'm going to buy the materials for dinner now, do you have anything I need to bring?" ”
There was a knock on the floor from inside the door, which meant that it was not needed.
Ling Yu, who took his wallet, went to the nearby vegetable market and picked out some seasonal vegetables with nutritional value and affordable prices and brought them to the cashier.
He didn't buy any meat, not because he didn't like it or had allergies, but because he didn't have the money.
Needless to say, not only did he have no money, he didn't have a job, he didn't even have a legal ID. And Sister Aya, who took him in, is not much better than him, she just has a legal identity certificate more than him. Now they are completely living on Sister Aya's monthly subsistence allowance.
Although Huaxia's current social welfare is not bad, even people who do not work at all can get a minimum living allowance of 1,000 yuan a month, and if they save a little, they can barely make ends meet.
But if two people share a subsistence allowance, the situation is completely different.
In addition to normal entertainment activities, other things such as clothes, jewelry, cosmetics and daily necessities are basically impossible to buy.
If your clothes are torn, you can only make up for them, if it's hot, you can go to the mall to rub the air conditioner, if you are sick, you can only rely on your body or take cheap medicine, and you can only use free paper towels that are distributed for free. As for other essential daily necessities such as dish soap, towels, toothbrushes, shower gel, etc., they can be saved, and they are all used in the cheapest kind.
If it weren't for the fact that the Internet fee in modern society is so cheap that it is about the same as free delivery, then Ling Yu would even want to save the Internet fee.
As for 'luxuries' such as 'meat', they will only be purchased directly during holidays, and only Sister Aya will eat them. Ling Yu himself only ate a small piece on his birthday last year, and he never ate it since.
What, why do you say they don't go to work when life is so difficult?
It's actually quite simple, because he can't find a job at all.
In this highly developed society, people who do not have identification cannot do any work. If Ling Yu wants to make money, he can only choose one of the illegal crimes and being a 'black worker'.
Ling Yu would never do anything illegal, so being a 'black worker' became his only choice.
There is a lot of risk in doing 'black work', not to mention the high intensity of the work and the salary is extremely low, and if you are unlucky, you may even not get anything.
Until one day, after Ling Yu found out that he could also make money playing online games, he switched to the embrace of games.
At first, due to experience and luck, Ling Yu didn't make much money from the game.
But as time went by, he gradually found some tricks and gradually began to be able to make some money. And the birth of the Firmament Realm is a huge opportunity for him, and if he is lucky, he may be able to earn enough money from the game to live a normal life for two people.
