Chapter 30 The Road of Kings

Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain.

Sitting in the office area of the "Lucky 38" penthouse suite, Long Jing carefully flipped back and forth to read the report. There is not much content, just some thoughts and plans about Mr. House's previous development. Despite the decision to abandon New Vegas, Long Jing wanted to learn from Mr. House's previous plansβ€”and in some ways there were many similarities between his and House's situation.

They have inherited a great deal of past wealth - knowledge, weapons, territory - but they also lack the ability to put it to work, and they have no one to help. House is slightly better than Long Jing in this regard, at least he is a scientist himself, and has set a blueprint for future development, and is indeed moving towards the goal step by step.

Although House has now failed, his actions have brought a lot of inspiration to Long Jing. You must know Long Jing's plan for his future before this...... Well, in fact, there was no planning at all, and all his previous actions were premised on short-term goals.

Maybe he should have set a slightly more long-term goal?

Long Jing kept tapping his fingers on the tabletop.

Although it is not unclear that there have been similar plans before, this is not something that can be decided with a quick brain stroke.

But now it's time to plan for the future, after all, now that the team is open, you can't do things like you used to.

Although his subordinates have all been made gods, there is no such thing as a subordinate leaving because they can't see the future, after all, the guardian spirit exists for its own master. But because of this, if you don't have a pursuit, the Patronus will also fall into a state of confusion that you don't know what to do.

Just look at the two ladies of his new gods.

Originally on a mission to save the wasteland, they are now completely idleβ€”well, learning new knowledge isn't idleβ€”but it's also true that Long Jing has no job for them at all.

"Yo! Looks like you're troubled again! ”

The same guy with nothing to do is coming.

"You've come just in time." Long Jing grabbed the flying pig, "I have long wanted to ask, what kind of mood are my predecessors in facing the future?" ”

The Flying Pig's eyes flashed: "You asked such a literary question, and the Pig didn't know how to answer you." ”

Long Jing: "............"

"Okay, what you want to ask is what they're after, right?"

"That's pretty much it." The dragon nodded and added, "Of course, the main thing is what they really want out of it. ”

"Oh, do you finally realize your biggest problem?" The Flying Pig said with relief in his tone, "You're finally at this time." ”

Long Jing's head suddenly burst into a black line: "What kind of ...... are you going to make trouble when you are a child who has finally grown up?"

"It's just for the sake of your growth." "But before I answer your question, you answer a question according to your truest thoughts. ”

"You say." Long Jing hurriedly sat upright.

"What's your dream?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

"This is not the scene of The Voice of China, so you don't look at this pig with that kind of look."

"Yes, yes, yes." Long Jing turned his head and covered his mouth and snickered a few times, then turned around and said, "Of course my dream is...... Belch? ”

As soon as the words came to his mouth, Long Jing was stunned and found that he didn't know how to continue.

Of course, he would not be without dreams, but when he was about to say it suddenly, Long Jing found that he didn't know what his dream was for a while. He loves to see all kinds of different landscapes, likes the feeling of getting stronger bit by bit, and wants to do something that he hasn't done before. But these are not dreams, or rather, they are just manifestations of his dreams, not dreams themselves.

So, behind all this, what exactly is he really after.

After a long time, Long Jingcai grabbed his hair and replied with some uncertainty:

"Probably something changed."

Because he is unwilling to be the same for the rest of his life, he hopes to gain the strength to become stronger; I don't want to see the same world, so I yearn for the scenery of different places. Because I don't like to do the same thing over and over again, I want to make choices that I didn't have before.

"I can't tell you exactly what kind of change I'm looking forward to, but I'm hoping to change something and change in the direction I want."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I thought you were going to say immortality. The Flying Pig couldn't help but complain.

"Make no mistake! That's just a prerequisite for realizing your dreams, not the dreams themselves! ”

Indeed, his previous actions made him look like one of those who were aiming for immortality - and being keen on cultivating immortals was for immortality, strengthening his abilities and drawing a safety line through the world for immortality - but that was only the means needed to achieve his goal! We don't think about our dreams when we take action, but no matter what you're pursuing, it's always a chance to live longer and have a better chance of achieving it, isn't it?

"The eternal life that you get for the sake of eternal life is only eternal emptiness."

Long Jing flicked his sleeves, as if wiping away something that had stained his dreams.

"Okay, let's just be serious." The Flying Pig said helplessly, "In short, no matter what your dream is, you must first make sure that you have the pursuit before you can make a plan." You may still be a little confused, but at least you know that you have something to pursue. ”

"Don't say these useless things, I'm not going to drink chicken soup for the soul right now." Long Jing waved his hand, "Let's go straight to the dry goods, how did they do it?" I don't believe they weren't confused at all. ”

"Naturally, there is confusion, but none of them are as serious as you." The Flying Pig sighed, "You've gotten so much at once, that you don't know which leg you should take." In fact, this pig can also understand that inheriting the position of the Lord of Heaven is basically realizing all your previous life plans. ”

"You're right." Long Jing laughed dryly.

His long-term goal was to find a good job, and now he has become the Jade Emperor in one step.

"Actually, the fourth generation started in a similar state to you, but she didn't take as long as you think. But on the night of his accession to the throne, he made up his mind a new long-term pursuit. ”

"So she set her sights on collecting all kinds of beautiful men?"

"Well, although the end is worse, it's still okay as a negative teaching material."

"Indeed......" The corners of Long Jing's mouth twitched, and the four generations used her life to tell him what a knife on the head of the color word wasβ€”of course, Long Jing himself had personally experienced the true meaning of this sentence.

"The third generation is actually the same as you, and there is no long-term plan." "But he has a clear short-term goal. For example, when he first came into contact with inscriptions, he set himself up to independently develop a new kind of inscription that surpassed all previous inscriptionists. And then you know, he was very successful. ”

The dragon nodded, the [Passive Trigger] glyph was one of the most important components of his current combat system.

"But after that, he never touched the inscription again." The Flying Pig paused and asked, "Do you know why?" ”

"I'm tired of playing, aren't the three generations old like this."

Long Jing knew this strange habit of the three generations, he tried a lot of things, and each of them achieved good results, but none of them were throughout.

"That's right, though." The Flying Pig said leisurely: "But the main reason is that he has achieved his goal. Although I don't know why this is the case, the pursuit of the third generation is never new, and all he really wants is to prove himself. Prove that what others can do, he can do too, that's all. ”

"Really...... I don't know what to comment. ”

Long Jing suddenly found that his understanding of his predecessors was a little off, in his opinion, the third generation has always been a very impatient and strange person who likes to tinker with strange things. I didn't expect his dream to be so ...... Simple.

"The second generation, like the third generation, wants to prove something." The Flying Pig continued: "But he is not so superficial, you know what it was like to be in the era when the second generation was born. So what he wants to prove is not that he can do it, but that his country can do it. He chose to build a powerful state, a super-empire that could span countless worlds and prove to everyone that China could be so powerful. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I know you don't mean that, but it makes my dreams seem superficial. ”

Long Jing muttered quietly. However, he also knows that compared with the second generation of people who were born in the humiliating era when China was oppressed and occupied by foreign powers, and who were determined to rise up in Chinese civilization, he grew up in an era of peace and looked dwarfed by it in any way, but it is an indisputable fact.

"It's not a question of the height of your dreams, it's about whether you have a dream and are willing to act for her." The Flying Pig flew up from the table, floated in front of Long Jing and said in the tone of a passer-by: "The dream of a generation is very simple, he is to pursue the "Heavenly Dao". And just like you don't know what you want to change, the generation doesn't know what kind of existence the "Heavenly Dao" he is pursuing. But he still did not hesitate to do all kinds of things that he thought could be close to the "Heavenly Dao". It's as simple as that. If you don't know what to do, try to change something that you don't like. ”

"Something unpleasant?" Long Jing frowned, "For example?" ”

"For example, if you see someone on the road who has a bad haircut, give them a haircut that makes you feel good."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

Long Jing was speechless for a moment, could it be that he was such a person in the eyes of this pig.

"I'm just giving you a simple example." The Flying Pig said angrily: "Look at your previous plan, what have you been thinking about." Acquisition of various benefits, balance of payments, and ability to grow...... It's not that these aren't important, but the question is, do they have anything to do with your dreams? The premise is wrong! These are all for your dreams, not your dreams for these! ”

"You were a bare-bones commander before, so I didn't bother to say anything, but now that you're starting to form your own forces, you should think about it from the perspective of a king. Do you understand? You are the king, you only need to think about your own desires. You just need to tell them what you want, as for how to do it, that's a matter that courtiers should consider, the purpose of their existence is to carry out your will, otherwise what's the use of asking them? ”

"This ...... Isn't this a legendary tyrant? Long Jing was really shocked by the Flying Pig's stupid speech, which was completely different from the path of the king he imagined.

"You are the sole holder of the Heavenly Court, and everything in the Heavenly Court, whether it is people or things, is your personal belongings. This is the premise of everything, and don't forget it. The Flying Pig had a hint of demagogy in his synthetic-style voice: "Your country is an extension of your will, and the purpose of the country's existence is to carry out your will. ”

After saying that, the flying pig left time for thinking to Long Jing, flicked his tail and turned around and flew out.
