Chapter 269: Ambition and Cause and Effect (I)
Most people who are not swordsmen themselves do not know much about swordsmen, and even if some scholars or people who are swordsmen themselves do relevant research, this kind of research will not be spread casually, resulting in many people in society being interested in swordsmen...... Or that there are some strange misunderstandings about vindictiveness itself.
They always feel that this kind of thing can be filled up naturally after a sleep.
However, vindictive energy cannot be created in a vacuum, and it also obeys the law of conservation of energy.
There are only three ways for a swordsman to recover his energy - by eating, by the energy stored in the body, and by absorbing free energy from the air with very low efficiency.
Needless to say, the former is not to mention, even the middle one, the essence of which is to store the excess energy in the body when eating normally, and then slowly release it at critical moments, just like ordinary people can survive by burning their own fat for many days without eating.
The so-called forbidden move of burning essence blood is just to forcibly use this part of the energy.
The food that can provide sufficient energy for the swordsman is naturally not ordinary, at least it must have meat to eat every day, which is about the same level as the normal urban dwellers of the modern earth, otherwise the fighting spirit will even slowly decline - Grant had lived a relatively poor life at the beginning, so her fighting spirit also dissipated several percent, and it was only two months ago that she returned to her original state.
If you want to ensure your recovery speed and maintain a fast rate of progress, you have to eat some Warcraft meat every once in a while, and occasionally drink a bottle of potion.
As for the almost ubiquitous free energy in the air, there is, but the concentration is too low - just by absorbing the free energy in the air, it can't even do it, that is to say, it can't even compare to the ordinary three meals a day, it's just a tiny supplement.
In a word: don't think of a swordsman as a perpetual motion machine.
Even gods can't create energy out of nothing, and swordsmen are even more so, paying for fighting energy is almost equivalent to paying a sum of money, which can't be wasted.
Fighting spirit = expensive meat or even Warcraft meat = money, this equation makes Luo Ming tremble when he looks at it.
Although he raised anchovies, it would take several months for the chicks to lay eggs and reproduce.
Even if they can reproduce on a large scale, the feed used to raise this kind of Warcraft chicken is more than ten times more than that of ordinary chickens, how can it be wasted?
This also became an imperceptible voice, secretly muttering to Luo Ming's original small ambition, making a voice of encouragement.
"Expand your territory, increase your people, take every penny to promote your progress and improve your production technology, and then repeat the process further with more output......
Luo Ming finally understood now that unless it was a small number of great masters whose state of mind had reached an extremely high realm, everyone would have ambitions.
Even those great grandmasters, many of them are thinking about how to promote their own ideas in the world, and pursue power and money for this purpose, but they will not be fascinated by power and wealth.
Even people like Zhuangzi and Tao Yuanming often lament their poor life.
Many of the young people of the modern world seem to be unambitious, and even compare themselves to Lao Zhuang - some of them do not experience the pleasure of controlling power and wealth, so they are content with the status quo, and some hate the huge responsibilities and obligations that come with power, and prefer to live a simpler life than get involved in more troublesome things, such as business negotiations and political struggles.
In the final analysis, this is one of the benefits of modern society - even if you live an ordinary life, you can live a relatively comfortable life, and there will be few problems with hunger and cold.
Those who have not been employed and stayed at home for more than ten years, if one day their relatives and friends will not give him a penny, and the government will not give him any welfare and security, he will definitely not stay at home and talk about poverty and happiness, but must come out to work.
In order to be full, to be able to eat well, to be able to afford next month's Internet bill, in order to be able to replace the computer that has been outdated for several years...... He will seize every opportunity to make money with an almost greedy attitude.
And Luo Ming's horizons have been completely opened - knowing the eternal and true existence of the gods, knowing how to ascend to the gods as mortals, and how to be willing to be ordinary?
He doesn't like to take on too much responsibility, but if he doesn't, he won't have enough strength - if he doesn't have enough power, it will be difficult to survive the future catastrophe, and he will die like an insignificant ant.
With these two reasons, it became the first impetus to set him on the path of striving to gain power, and the reality dictates that the more he walks on this path, the greater his ambitions will become.
Luo Ming has no fear of ambition itself, in the final analysis, the progress of human society depends on the different ambitions of many people to get to where it is today and continue to develop and move forward.
He was just a little emotional.
The benefits and convenience of obtaining a territory make him eager to obtain the next territory, which requires conflict with others, and then after obtaining the next territory, his strength will become stronger, so he will wonder if he can get more and more territory...... This is destined to be a path of iron and fire.
In his previous life, he had seen quite a few of them, and some of them said things like "not touching cause and effect" and "transcending cause and effect", and said that this was the right path of cultivation.
When he told the two masters about it, they both laughed and gave an example: both of them were wealthy people who could practice martial arts in peace, eat a lot of meat, build a luxurious ashram, and take in apprentices without charging them high tuition.
At that time, he didn't have a deep understanding of the example, but after all, he didn't continue to ask—but now that he was in a world of spells and gods, the question took on a real meaning.
Not touching cause and effect means that there are no enemies and no friends, no backstage and backers, no brothers and sisters, no allies, and no industry of their own......
Then this is either a reclusive guy who has made a windfall, or he is just a poor man who no one cares about. The money of the former will eventually run out, and the latter will have nothing to do with the money-consuming thing of cultivation.
A person who has obtained a windfall and lived in seclusion is also likely to be targeted by bandits or something, and he has no one to deal with a pack of greedy jackals on his own, even if he is captured or killed, no one cares. Bandits are not stupid, it is much easier to rob such people than to rob rich businessmen - the rich businessmen must have hired bodyguards to watch their homes, and the small vaults of the rich merchants will not only be guarded, but also have strong iron gates and mechanisms that can trap dozens of people.
