311 The so-called national fortune

Lu Meng, who was "ignorant" about Tianyou, couldn't stand it, so he helped him carry out some science popularization, which made Tianyou understand what the "national movement" activity was. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The so-called national fortune can actually be understood as both the luck of the country and the national transportation, and the reason why both interpretations are reasonable is that this is an activity related to the national fortune, but the main content is transportation. After listening to Lu Meng's explanation, Tianyou even gave him an image nickname: "Youth Brick Moving Competition." ”

To explain the essence of the national fortune, it is first necessary to understand some history of the Shenzhou continent.

At present, the most important historical event in the Shenzhou Continent is the cataclysmic battle a thousand years ago, which is as important as the world war on Earth. But before the Battle of the Catastrophe, there was another very important thing, that is, the Human Emperor had burned a batch of gold bricks with the blood of the patriarchs of the ten ancestral clans.

The ten ancestral clans here refer to the ten surnames of the Shenzhou Continent, and the current accepted view is that all the surnames in the Shenzhou Continent are actually separated from the ten surnames, which means that these ten families can already represent the entire human bloodline. Moreover, these ten ancestral families have not disappeared, and the current royal families in the ten kingdoms of Shenzhou are actually the ten major ancestral families of the year, including the royal family of Chu State, of course, the Mi clan. Lu Meng said that Tianyou should not offend Mi Tianying because Mi Tianying's surname is Mi, and this caste is of great significance to the national sports task.

Although the gold bricks cast by the emperor are called gold bricks, they are actually black iron bricks, which are poured and cast with human blood, and finally condensed into square bricks. Each of these bricks is engraved with the graphics of the Spirit Array, and each brick contains the fortune of the Heavenly Dao. Legend has it that the emperor built a temple with this brick, which enshrined the words heaven and earth, and the luck of heaven and earth would gather in the body of the human race, so that the human race would prosper.

It is a pity that the emperor fell in the battle of the catastrophe, and the temple of heaven and earth was dismantled into ten parts, and the remnants of the ten countries took one of them, and agreed that in the future, a national sports mission will be held every year, and the young talents of various countries will be responsible for organizing and arranging and executing, the content is to snatch the gold bricks of other countries, and then transport them back to their own countries and store them in the temple of their own country.

Of course, there is robbery, there is protection, and while snatching the gold bricks of other countries, you also need to take into account the protection of your own gold bricks, and as long as the national transportation task is not over, the gold bricks transported and stored in the temple can still be snatched by other countries, so until the end of the task, guarding, intercepting, and snatching will not stop.

As long as the gold bricks snatched in this activity are deposited in the temple of the country, they can actually bring prosperity to the country, so all countries are extremely interested in this activity. However, over time, the purpose of the event itself has gradually changed, and the rules have changed dramatically.

At the end of the Holocaust, the goal of the national fortune mission was to determine the strongest nation, especially to lead the revival of the Terrans and become the guide of the Terrans. Therefore, the task of the national movement of the year is not allowed to hurt people, if you mistakenly kill the young talents of other countries, you will have to compensate a large amount of gold bricks to the other party as a punishment, and it will also have a lot of adverse effects on the future mission.

However, the nature of today's national transport mission has completely changed. The Ten Nations have long forgotten the glory of the Emperor, and the task of national fortune has become a means to enhance their own national strength and suppress the future development potential of other countries. Therefore, although the current national sports task is still saying that no one is allowed to hurt on the surface, in fact, there are a large number of casualties among young talents participating in the competition every year, and this number is increasing year by year. Of course, because there are also restrictions on the surface that no one is allowed to injure people, if it causes the death of a person from the other country, it must be compensated with the BRICS. It's just that the amount of compensation has dropped from hundreds or thousands after the end of the Catastrophe War to being counted according to the opponent's cultivation level. It's basically one brick at a time. In other words, even if the concubine was killed when she went to participate in the mission, the compensation would only be 151 gold bricks. But it is clear that the value of Tianfei is far from being measurable by 151 gold bricks, even if this gold brick is more valuable than gold bricks in the usual sense.

Every year, countries think about how to kill and injure more outstanding talents from other countries, especially hostile countries, and at the same time think about how to protect their own outstanding talents from losses. Of course, the gold bricks themselves are equally important, after all, the gold bricks can gather the fortunes of heaven and earth, which is equivalent to directly increasing the hidden lucky attributes. Such an ungodly prop, of course, you have to grab it even if you break your head.

However, what Lu Meng told Tianyou that the real reason why he should not offend Mi Tianying is not the danger of the national movement mission itself, but the impact that Mi Tianying can cause in the process of the mission.

It is customary for the young talents of the ten nations to gather in the royal cities before the start of the mission, and each country sends envoys to supervise the mission opening ceremony. This ceremony is started by all countries at the same time, and it is not allowed to be advanced or postponed, and after the task begins, young talents from all countries will be grouped, and the danger that Lu Meng prompted is on top of the grouping.

This group is said to be freely chosen by young talents, but in fact, except for a very small number of people who choose to act alone, they are generally led by the ten ancestral clans, that is, the royal families of various countries, to form a small group one by one. For example, in the Qin State, except for a few people who work alone, there should only be three groups left, and its team leaders will naturally be Ying Hai, Ying Ying and Ying Yang brothers and sisters. Not only because they are ancestral clans, but more importantly, because they are all likely to inherit the throne and become the king of a country in the future.

Although Mi Tianying is the son of Mi Fusheng, the king of Yizhou, because of the assassination turmoil seventeen years ago, the king of Chu now has no direct descendants, at least on the surface. Therefore, as the eldest brother of the king of Chu, Mi Fuxin, Mi Fusheng's eldest son, Mi Tianying, became the most suitable heir to the throne of Chu. Therefore, most of the young talents in the Chu State are led by Mi Tianying.

Although the team leader may not be the one who makes the decision, the team leader's decision-making power is undoubtedly very large. Since Mi Tianying is the most promising heir to the throne of the Chu State, he must also be one of the main leaders of the Chu State team. In the National Games mission, if a team leader is named to kill someone, the probability of that person surviving will drop significantly. As for the specific reduction, it depends on the strength of the national team to protect this person.

Although Tianyou traveled around the world when he was young, he settled in Qin for the longest time after all. In addition, he was recommended by Ying Ying to enter Zixiao Palace, so he was naturally a member of Ying Ying's faction. If today's strength has increased by leaps and bounds, once the national sports mission begins, can Tianyou say that he will not participate? Obviously, it is impossible. Therefore, Tianyou is almost 100% unable to avoid this national sports task, and he is not the team leader, so the protection he naturally receives cannot be as comprehensive as Yingying. If more leaders of individual countries try to kill him at this time, it will really be quite dangerous.

"Hearing you say this, this Mi Tianying really can't be offended?" Tianyou still asked with a disapproving look.

Lu Meng saw that he didn't take it seriously, and immediately warned him anxiously: "God bless you, don't take it seriously, the national sports mission is really a death every year." In the past three years, our Qin State has been able to greatly control the number of casualties because of Sister Yingying's example and Sister Bingyu's command and dispatch, but even so, we still have to suffer seventeen or eighteen casualties in every national sports mission to survive safely, I don't want you to take this risk. ”

Tianyou was very touched by Lu Meng's concern, but he really didn't care much about this matter, but he suddenly realized a problem.

"By the way, Meng Meng, if the young talents who participate in the national sports mission every year perform outstandingly, such as snatching back the robbed gold bricks, or killing the young talents of the other party, are there any rewards?

"You're really out of the money. Lu Meng said Tianyou angrily, but still explained: "For such a dangerous task, everyone has to risk their lives if they make contributions, and the king will naturally not treat the young talents who participate in the mission." All participants, each person can get a different number of spirit stones of different qualities according to their personal cultivation, and the minimum is one delicate-grade spirit stone. The specific situation varies from country to country, and what I just told you is my Daqin's standard. Over the years, it seems that Wei has paid the least amount of spirit stones every year, and other countries are roughly the same. ”

"What about special contributions, are there no additional rewards?"

"Of course there is. Lu Meng said: "If someone has outstanding performance in the national sports task, the captain can decide to report the details of the results to the king, and after approval, they can be rewarded for meritorious deeds." That is to say, the reward is uncertain, and the specific amount depends on how much the king values you, how much the declared team leader is loved by the king, and the size of the specific merits. ”

"How did you accomplish the tasks in previous years, and what would happen if I could pull a team away this year?"

Lu Meng instantly reacted and exclaimed, "You want to lure away Mi Tianying's team and then create an opportunity for our Great Qin?"

"Can't you?"

"No, absolutely not. Lu Meng vehemently opposed: "The task of the national movement is a collective action, not the power of a single person can be reversed." No matter how outstanding the individual strength is, it can only have a partial impact, and in the end, it is everyone who works together to determine the overall situation. Don't think that you are a little clever and want to go it alone, that is looking for death, irresponsibility, and black sheep. ”

"I just want to help, why did I become a black sheep?"

"Because the captain will not watch you die, and saving you will inevitably affect the established plan and cause greater casualties and losses, so your individual actions may not be able to help everyone, but they will definitely interfere with everyone's actions. ”

The last sentence was said by Qu Tong, who had been silent, as a disciple of the younger generation of Zixiao Palace, of course he also had to participate in the national sports mission. However, this guy is not from the Qin State, so even if he encounters it in the mission, it should be a hostile relationship. Of course, if there was a battle between the disciples of Zixiao Palace who belonged to different countries, they would not do too much. However, there are exceptions, for example, if Chu Feifei meets Tianyou in the mission, he will definitely not leave his hand.

The three of them chatted and walked to Taoyuan City unconsciously, and from a long distance, they could see an anti-crescent-shaped city wall across the mountain pass, separating the southern area of Sandalwood Village from Taoyuan City. There are three gates open on the city wall, and there are a small number of soldiers guarding the huge openings, and it seems that the management is not very strict, and the guards have no intention of checking when they pass by here.

In the city, I met Bai Bingyu and his party who stayed and waited, and after everyone converged, they told each other about the situation encountered by both parties, and then set off to start rushing back. Because the spirit rider was ridden away by the senior brother who reported the news, the rest of the spirit horse was obviously not enough, so in the end they rented a few more fast horses and hurried all the way back. But even so, it was still a step too late, and when everyone rushed back to Zixiao Palace, they learned that the senior brother who reported the news had already gone to the White Bone Cave with the team sent by Zixiao Palace.

This time the matter can be said to be quite serious, the undead tide is overflowing, almost destroying the entire village, such a large-scale catastrophic event, Zixiao Palace, as the boss of the neutral zone, of course can't ignore it, so the team to deal with this matter was dispatched as soon as he received the news.

Originally, such an arrangement was understandable, after all, the stakes were high, and a second of delay could cause many more deaths, but it was not a good thing for God to bless them. According to the general practice, in the case of task upgrade caused by an error in the mission information, the original team has the right to request to participate in the subsequent tasks, and as long as they can participate in the later tasks, even if they follow the formalities, they can get a lot of benefits. If you add the normal remuneration of the previous tasks and the compensation for the mistakes of the tasks, the benefits of the Tianyou team will be very many. This is also the reason why most people love and hate mission information mistakes, after all, there are so many benefits compared to danger that people can't help but think about coming once or twice once in a while.

However, this time, God bless them because they came back late, and the task was very urgent, so God bless them missed the later task. If it's only Tianyou himself, this matter doesn't matter, the key is that Tianyou went to deal with some private matters halfway, and the team delayed participating in the mission because they were waiting for his return, which made Tianyou quite uncomfortable.

Of course, this can't be all blamed on Tianyou, because most of the people in the team were actually exhausted after the situation sent everyone to the ship, and in that case, even if Tianyou didn't do personal things, it was unlikely that all of these people would return to the sect to participate in the mission, and Tianyou's departure was just a drag on a few more people.

Although this is the case, Tianyou is always a little reluctant in his heart, so after hesitating for a while, he still decided to use a little personal connection. Let the team not be in a hurry to disband, go back to repair first, and make an appointment to meet in the cafeteria at dinner time. After explaining clearly, Tianyou left the team first.

did not return to his cave, but Tianyou first went to the Hall of Merit to find Zhao Quan, and asked him to take him to the second floor to see Xie Bi'an. He is basically responsible for the operation of the entire Hall of Merit.

Tianyou briefly explained the situation, and then expressed very directly that the team was lost because of his own reasons, and he was very unhappy. Xie Bi'an looked at Tianyou, thought for a while, and then nodded: "There is no such rule in the door, but there is no precedent for bypassing your team and directly sending someone to deal with this incident this time, so since there is no precedent on both sides, let's set a precedent."

You will organize your team later, and I will send you a separate supplementary task, if you can meet the previous team, give the supplementary task to the team leader, and he will assign you the next task, if not, then you will perform the task alone, and come back to me to hand in the task after completion. ”

"Thank you, Envoy. ”

"This is your task, and I am just correcting the temporary arrangements that I made due to the urgency of the situation. ”

Tianyou still clenched his fists: "In Xie Chang's envoy, it is a gesture, but it is difficult for a disciple, and when you receive favors, you should remember it carefully, this is the way of life for disciples, and you dare not change it lightly." ”

Xie Bi'an shook his head with a smile and nodded to Tianyou, then didn't say more, picked up the pen and began to write the task record, and after getting it done, he copied it for alternative, and handed the original to Tianyou. "Take it, go as soon as possible, lest you miss the team in front of you. ”

Tianyou clenched his fists again, and then exited the room with the quest scroll.

Before it was dinner time, Tianyou went to find Lu Meng first, asked her to help find something for herself, and then finally reunited with the team at dinner.

"God bless you for letting us gather here, is there really any remedy?" asked one of the senior brothers in the team.

Tianyou smiled and took out the scroll that had just arrived, and then handed it to the nearest senior brother who was sitting, and everyone immediately scrambled to open it and watch it, and when they found the content, they immediately became happy. I thought I was coming back late and missed this mission, but I didn't expect that Tianyou would get things done in just over an hour.

"Then let's go now, shall we? If we go late, I am afraid that we will miss the mission, not to mention the loss, and we will waste God's efforts in vain. ”

"Not necessarily. Tianyou calmed the people who were obviously a little overexcited and said: "Sharpen the knife and don't cut the wood, let's eat and drink enough first and then rush overnight, so that it can be more efficient." In addition, I asked Lu Meng to help borrow some good spirit horses, this time everyone can have one per person to ensure their movement speed. If nothing else, I will be able to rush to Xinghuang Village tomorrow to join the team that has gone ahead. ”

"You are the team leader, and everyone listens to you. Everyone was obviously very satisfied with Tianyou's ability to win the task, and they all believed in Tianyou's leadership. In the previous mission, Tianyou has proved to everyone with his actions that his command has a level far beyond the average fellow disciples, whether it is search and rescue in the house, or distress dispatch, he can only do it in an orderly manner, and give full play to everyone's maximum value, so that everyone can bear the pressure more evenly. The strength of such a team leader is actually not very important, as long as he can reasonably arrange how everyone fights, it is already better than the help brought by a strong team member.

After dinner, everyone went down the mountain overnight, each person rode a spirit ride at a very fast speed, galloped all night, all the way through the city and the village, and finally arrived at Zhao Village before dawn on the second day.

It is still the Tianyou and his party received by the village chief last time, but the injuries and illnesses in the village have been transferred, and there are few people left in the entire village. After asking the village chief, I found out that not long after Tianyou and them entered Xinghuang Village, the ghost mist began to expand outward, driving monsters and beasts to avoid each other, so that even Zhao Village was affected. Fortunately, the first two attacks on the village were ordinary beasts, but they didn't cause many casualties, and when the real monsters approached, they happened to catch up with the emergency team sent by Zixiao Palace, and finally saved the population of the village.

However, as the team from Zixiao Palace left the village to go deep into the Tianshan Mountains to investigate the situation of the ghost fog, the people of Zhao Village did not dare to live here anymore, and they evacuated farther away. In fact, there are only a dozen or so young men left in the village, and their task is to drive out some simple beasts, and once the situation is found to be critical, these people are young and strong, and they can run fast.

God blessed their arrival, which obviously made these left-behind young men and village chiefs feel a lot more at ease, and even became much more enthusiastic about them. However, Tianyou really didn't plan to stay here longer, and after a simple supply, the team set off again and went straight to Xinghuang Village.

The second time he went deep into the ghost mist, Tianyou was much more prepared than before. The time before dinner may not seem like a long time, but God has done a lot of things. Not only did he get the task and borrow the Spirit Horse, but he also prepared a lot of small things for the combat needs in the ghost fog environment, such as the "torches" that are particularly resistant to burning. ”

Torches in the dark may not be of much use, and the light from the flames will not shine far. However, the orange glow produced by the torch has a strong penetrating effect on the fog, so the lighting effect of the torch in this ghost fog is not bad, at least much better than the flashlight. Of course, no matter how bright the torches are, the visibility in the ghost fog is definitely not as good as outside.

The ghost fog has obviously been spreading during the time they left, the last time everyone encountered the ghost fog in the area close to the periphery of Xinghuang Village, but this time, almost as soon as they left Zhaojia Village, they could see a gable-like ghost fog standing not far from the entrance of the village. It is believed that the source of the ghost fog can no longer be found to deal with it, and soon Zhaojia Village will be completely engulfed by the ghost fog.

"It seems that the situation is worse than expected!"
