Chapter 42: The Adventurer's Tavern
The human brain has the function of self-regulation, so people's emotions cannot be in high spirits all the time. Whether happy or sad, they are temporary, and the situations that trigger these emotions need to be repeated and stimulated. However, people cannot always have ups and downs, joys and sorrows, and we are ordinary people who always live plainly. More often than not, we only feel the ordinary slight pain and sorrow, which is a function called "numbness" at work.
Sometimes a nap can change your mood a lot, and that's a case in point.
Hong Feng is not a real old man after all, and he can't do Gujing without waves. In his previous life, he just didn't get too involved in it, and he always witnessed everything happening around him from the standpoint of a bystander, so he didn't like it or mourn, that didn't mean that his realm was so high. It is only when you invest in it that you get hurt, and if you count feelings as a benefit, then it is much easier to understand. Originally, feelings are part of one's own spiritual interests.
The world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit. No one will do anything that has no benefits, and things that seem to be unrewarding are actually eager for returns. "Unpaid" is nothing more than the need for actual material rewards, some for reputation, others for inner gratification, or something else. Even the love that claims to be unconditionally given without asking for anything in return cannot last long without a response for long-term giving, let alone others. The good and evil of behavior should be seen whether the interests are consistent, interests are the motivation for doing good, and obtaining benefits together is the essence of doing good.
The incident in the Heavenly Absolute Mountain Forest did not do Hong Feng any benefit to either Hong Feng or the Cloud Turning Sect, so everyone was unhappy, and it was not called doing good deeds at all. Regardless of the motives, it does not achieve practical results, and that kind of goodwill is real hypocrisy. Imposing kindness on others is more of an evil deed.
After Hong Feng woke up, he began to think about the course of action in the future, so as to avoid the kind of things that hurt others and himself again. Hong Feng thinks that he is not a great person, so he decided to do things in the future based on his own interests, and try to take into account the interests of others when his own interests can be guaranteed.
Of course, the above are all theories, and the actual situation is much more complicated, and Hong Feng may not be able to take the best action at all at that time. In short, because of that lesson, Hong Feng became even more reluctant to do thankless work.
Because Hong Feng was discovered by Long Ying last time he tried to mistreat Long Ying, Hong Feng had to ask Chu He for another room, which was self-inflicted.
It was too boring to stay in the room, and Hong Feng planned to go out for a walk. When he was about to call Long Ying, he found that there was an enchantment on her door, and Hong Feng knocked honestly.
"I'm going to go out for a walk, are you going?" Seeing the lazy-looking Long Sakura, Hong Feng felt that he had asked more.
Long Ying shook her head: "If it's okay, I'm going to sleep." ”
"Isn't the inheritance over?"
"Well, but that's the habit of the dragons. ”
Indeed, Long Ying has always liked to be quiet and not like to move, and she must not like to be lively either. Except for interacting with Hong Feng, Long Ying basically has nothing to do, just let her sleep. Hong Feng didn't bother Long Ying anymore, nor did he call Lingyi, he took Wang Er and went out.
Passing by the adventurer's guild hall on the first floor, Hong Feng stopped, turned around and asked Wang Er, "Wang Er, are you an adventurer?"
"Yes, young master, I have been here for a while before. ”
"Then I'll also register an adventurer, if I'm bored, I can do tasks and make money!" With Hong Feng's strength, he shouldn't have to worry about money, but he is actually really poor. Not to mention that 100 million silver coins is an astronomical amount for ordinary people, but it is simply not enough for advanced cultivators. Even the 100 million silver coins are still in Long Ying's hands, and Hong Feng only has more than 5 million silver coins on him now.
Hong Feng's starting point was too high, for ordinary people, and even for ordinary cultivators. He crossed over to be a top-level identity, even if his identity was deprived, the 110 million silver coins that he was gifted at parting would be a huge wealth for ordinary cultivation. Because the levels are different, Hong Feng has not had in-depth contact with the bottom, so he is now crying poor with money that ordinary people think is wealth. In his understanding, a breakthrough in Wang Xuan's main medicine required hundreds of millions of silver coins, and the money he had was pitifully small in comparison.
On the one hand, the cost of Hong Feng's breakthrough was indeed much greater than that of breaking through Wang Xuan in this world, and on the other hand, the barrier from Lingxuan to Wang Xuan separated high-level cultivators from ordinary cultivators. Although this world is quite peaceful, the level is still too obvious, and Hong Feng doesn't like this feeling.
"Hello, please hand over 100 gold coins for registration!"
Hong Feng took out 100 gold coins and handed them to the staff. After a while, he was given a Shinyu card. Information technology has been opened up in some aspects, and thanks to some of the world's capable people who have traveled through the earth before, the world's "earth modernization" civilization has also developed greatly. This is very convenient, although Hong Feng feels a little nondescript.
"Such a huge amount of information is actually handled in an orderly manner, relying on half-hung 'technology', the people in this world are not simple!" Hong Feng sighed. Just like when he saw the Great Wall and the pyramids, Hong Feng was moved by the wisdom, hard work, and unity of human beings. In this world, adventure is a mature industry, and if it is not maintained in an orderly manner, then this industry will not continue in this form until now. This is "existence is reasonable".
"What kind of tasks should I do...... "The general task pays too little, and the advanced tasks are either troublesome or dangerous. Hong Feng is not afraid of danger, but he has his persistence, and he can't do anything.
"If the young master wants to experience the life of an adventurer, you can go to the adventurer's tavern. Wang Er on the side proposed.
Could it be that he was regarded as one of those eldest young masters who came out to experience civilian life when he was idle and bored? Hearing Wang Er's words, Hong Feng was a little unnatural. Hong Feng has always had a very high opinion of himself, so naturally he will not be willing to be an adventurer with peace of mind, but he is an adventurer from another world, and his life is the life of an adventurer, so why experience others?
"I'm not that advanced, I don't have that much of a position to observe and study other people's lives, I'm just too boring. "People who have no ideals and no friends are so sad, they don't even know what they want to do, and they always live the most boring daily life.
The Adventurer's Tavern is not the same as the Fragrance Building. If the latter is like a hotel in Hong Feng's previous life, then the former is like a bar that Hong Feng knew in his previous life. Idle adventurers, gathered in groups, drinking wine and chatting.
Hong Feng and Wang Er also found a place, ordered a few jars of wine and drank quietly with Wang Er.
"Why did the young master leave me and Ling Yi in the first place?" Wang Er suddenly asked, "At that time, the young master's strength was above me, and taking us with us can only be regarded as a burden...... especially after Hong Feng broke through the king level, it has only been more than a month, and the young master is really as he said at the beginning, killing the throne is like slaughtering a chicken and slaughtering a dog. Following Hong Feng for a period of time, Wang Er thought that he and Ling Yi were not very useful at all, but were taken care of by Hong Feng.
Hong Feng smiled and said, "It was just a whim at the beginning. It's so strong because I don't know you, and you're here to kill me. I wasn't very strong before, but the reason why I look powerful is because I'm an emissary, and you really played a role. After this time of getting along, although I still don't know much about you, the general situation is still clear. Well, the ban is useless. Hong Feng's heart moved, and he lifted the divine soul ban on Wang Er and Ling Yi.
"Young Master......"
"Now in the Northern Wilderness, even if I encounter an emperor-level powerhouse, I can compete with one or two, and if I can't beat it, I can completely save my life. I've decided what path I'm going to take in the future, and I'm fine, of course, but I don't want to trouble you and Reichi. The reason why I said one year was the latest time for me to become a king, but now that I have broken through, you are free. I will still keep my promise then. ”
"Young Master, I want to continue to follow you. ”
"Yes. But it won't be long before the mountains and forests are in the sky, no, the entire Central Plains will be in chaos. I won't have time to take care of you, I just want you to take care of yourselves. ”
"Yes!" Wang Er understood that he could not keep up with the young master's footsteps, so he had to leave in order not to be a drag. To be honest, there is not much affection between them, it may be that they regard the young master as a friend, so they will be reluctant to separate, Wang Er smiled bitterly and poured a sip of wine.
Perhaps, former friends will become enemies, this is Hong Feng's helplessness. The adventurer's tavern sells all spirits, but they are also ordinary wines, which are useless to Hong Feng. However, Hong Feng was also the same as Wang Er, pouring wine.
Drink at the Adventurer's Tavern, you can hear many interesting stories about adventurers, and some news spreads here quickly. Hong Feng didn't hear anything valuable, and decided to leave, and at this time he happened to meet a team of adventurers who were just about to enter, and those people Hong Feng knew.
"It's Captain Liang, right? I'm really sorry for misunderstanding you last time, in order to apologize, let me invite everyone to a drink!" Hong Feng took out a large handful of gold coins and put them on the table, and without waiting for them to react, he left with Wang Er.
