Chapter 49: Agreements
It's only after you look around the valley that you know how rich the resources really are.
The Fountain of Youthfulness itself is the most popular source of water for plants, and where there is a Fountain of Youth, it must be a place of lush vegetation. Coupled with the fact that it has been protected by dragons for many years, some rare medicinal herbs have been preserved as a result.
Walking on the valley path, Shen Yi casually picked a small grass that looked plain, and said with some excitement: "This is the dragon grass grass, which is one of the important materials used to make spiritual power potions. As long as it is picked and added to the Tianxin Grass, the cost of refining the potion can be reduced a lot, and if the materials are complete, we can even make our own spiritual power recovery potion. They are very difficult to grow, even in the wilderness, they are rare, not even in the valley of alien beasts, but I didn't expect them to grow in patches here. ”
"Dragon Grass can't be a life that needs Dragon Grass to grow like the World Tree, right?" asked Gentle Grass.
"That's right. Shen Yi replied: "It is only in a place where there are dragons that it can grow, and this is a place where dragons gather, so there will be so many dragons." And this ......"
Shen Yi plucked a small colorful flower and said: "It's called a dragon, the stamen can be used to make dragon-shaped potions, after use, the attack and defense are doubled, and the roots can be used to stop psychedelic potions...... Many of the plants here are associated with dragons and the Fountain of Youth. ”
As he spoke, he unceremoniously took a handful.
This behavior made the blue dragon watching from a distance shudder.
In fact, at this moment, the Broken Blade Team and the Dragon Tooth Team are under the guidance of Shen Yi, unscrupulously launching a sweeping operation against the valley.
Compared with Shen Yi's highly targeted picking behavior, these guys who don't understand anything are more destructive.
They pick up anything that seems to be useful, keep it when it's useful, and throw it away if it's useless, without any concept of environmental protection, let alone any cherishing behavior.
At this moment, Hong Lang was holding a beautiful-looking plant and asked Shen Yi loudly, "Is this thing useful?"
Shen Yi looked at it, then shook his head: "No, it's useless, it's just for viewing." ”
So Hong Lang muttered, "It's a pity", and then threw it away, and then stepped on the flowers, and walked by without care.
The blue dragon Alex Coulson shuddered.
Damn, that's Lord O'Colon's favorite cloud flower!
But that's not the worst of it.
Worst of all, the undead soldiers, these evil, dirty, ugly undead creatures, are scurrying around the valley, trampling the beautiful scenery of the valley, like a group of robbers breaking into your home, not only taking away all your valuable things, but also smashing all your belongings.
A group of Japanese devils who have entered the village!
"Stop!" it finally roared.
A group of rough people who were destroying flowers and plants, destroying the beautiful scenery of the valley, stopped at the same time and looked at the blue dragon.
Hong Lang touched his head in some surprise: "What's wrong with it?"
The fat man shook his head: "I don't know, but it looks angry, did we do something wrong?"
"Shut up, fatty, you're a shame on us, and now we're the boss here. King Kong said angrily.
"Boss for the time being. The fat man replied honestly.
King Kong rolled his eyes: "You don't need to remind us of this. ”
The blue dragon had already rushed over angrily and yelled at Shen Yi, "You said you just need spring water, but look at what you are doing now?"
Shen Yi spread his hands indifferently: "It's just a small incidental act, you don't have to mind so much at all." You know that any action has the opportunity to have collateral value, I mean, if the spring is the main target, then these flowers and plants are incidental additional actions, it doesn't violate the agreement between you and me, it just doesn't need to be specified. Just like when you are in the transportation industry, sometimes you can bring some personal goods for yourself, it is not against the regulations, and you don't have to take it seriously. ”
He spoke lightly, but the blue dragon tilted his nose in anger: "But your incidental actions are causing great damage here. ”
"I know it's normal that just by opening a factory, you're going to pollute the environment. Shen Yi still replied casually.
"But it's me who is affected by this behavior! When a few adults come here tomorrow morning with a group of dragons, only to find that this place has been destroyed into a wasteland, maybe I will be torn to pieces by the wrath of the adults without you doing anything!" the blue dragon roared loudly.
"Oh...... Is that so?" Shen Yi's eyes narrowed: "So, in the dragon group, the concept of hierarchy is still deep, and you are actually just the lowest status in the dragon group. ”
The blue dragon snorted angrily, "Nonsense, how can I, Alex Coulson, be the lowest-ranking dragon?"
However, his angry snort is very unconfident, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this guy's status in the dragon group is really not high, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have taken on the responsibility of guarding the door here - whose doorman is qualified to be the boss?
His answer made Shen Yi laugh even more happily, and those who knew him knew what it meant.
There is no doubt that Shen Yi has already moved his brain to the blue dragon itself.
Hong Lang and the fat man had already begun to laugh lowly: "This dragon is going to be unlucky." ”
King Kong smiled and said, "It doesn't understand Shen Yi. ”
Lao Meng sighed: "It shouldn't talk to Shen Yi at all." ”
That's to the point.
This blue dragon shouldn't have been talking to Shen Yi from the beginning.
For Shen Yi, discovering the other party's weaknesses, finding the other party's sore spots, and negotiating at the necessary moment, thinking that he is striving for the greatest benefit, this practice is as natural as breathing.
He doesn't do anything deliberately, but when the opportunity comes, he will instinctively seize it and never let it go.
This has nothing to do with IQ, but more of a personality embodiment.
At this moment, after hearing the blue dragon's answer, Shen Yi smiled and said: "But no matter what, you really don't belong to the group that can call the shots, right? You are ostracized in the dragon group, other dragons come here every day to drink morning tea, take a bath and go back to sleep, but you have to stay here every day, engaged in boring battles, just like a doorman, you have to deal with all kinds of nasty uninvited guests every day." ”
Hearing the last sentence, the blue dragon nodded honestly: "You guys are really annoying, but it's very troublesome. ”
"yes. Shen Yi also agreed: "You know, I have also done this kind of work as a doorman before, and I always meet some people who are annoying and troublesome, but they can't afford to offend." Some people have backgrounds, some people have strength, and it's your duty to keep them out, and it's your sin to not be able to stop them. No one cares about our work and hard work, only endless accusations, occasionally some negligence will be scolded and even punished, sometimes there is no shortage of villains who secretly fall into the well for you, the salary is not so high, I mean if you have a salary to get......"
He gushed about the troubles of being a doorman, and the blue dragon kept nodding his head in response, "That's right, that's right, that's it." ”
In the distance, Lao Meng asked Hong Lang: "Shen Yi said that he used to be a doorman, is this true?"
Hong Lang pouted: "As long as necessary, he can even give birth to children." ”
Lao Meng understood, and he nodded: "He is indeed this kind of person." ”
Over there, Shen Yi was already chatting with Lan Long in full swing.
Shen Yi said: "I can understand your hard work, but I said, haven't you ever thought about changing jobs?"
"I'd like to, but Lord O'Coren won't agree. The blue dragon replied honestly: "I must stay here for half a year before I can be transferred back to Longshan, this is the rule of the dragon clan." ”
"No, no, no, you didn't understand what I meant. Shen Yi said: "When I change jobs, I mean a change of company, do you understand? I mean...... You don't have to serve your grown-ups. You are a dragon, a noble dragon, a dragon who has been on the loose for nine days, and there is no need to mix with other dragons. Whoever wants to guard this valley will watch it, what does it have to do with you? You can completely change jobs and go it alone!"
The blue dragon looked at Shen Yi in surprise: "What are you talking about? You asked me to leave the dragons? Oh, no, no, this is absolutely impossible! Unity is the biggest dependence of the dragon race's survival, the wilderness is very dangerous, and the dragon is not the most powerful creature, let alone an invincible creature." Any dragon that is left alone will be in danger. ”
"But aren't you also alone now?" Shen Yi asked rhetorically.
The blue dragon was immediately speechless.
He felt that Shen Yi was wrong, but he couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while, and he was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, so he could only roar loudly: "This is not right, this is not right! I only need half a year here, and then I can be with everyone, I have the protection from the dragon clan, and no life dares to harm me!"
"In fact, we dare. Shen Yi followed the temptation: "You must be glad that it was my kindness that allowed you to survive, but you can't guarantee that there will be no new people who plan to slay dragons in the next few days." You lack strong security, and you are only a low-status coolie in the Dragons, and you cannot change that fact. A powerful being like you, who should be admired wherever he goes, accepted the offerings of humanity, and only occasionally exerted some strength to help the other person when they need it, and then can exchange it for endless sacrifices, just like my friend. ”
Shen Yi pointed at Megatron.
Megatron snorted and replied, "I didn't get any sacrifices. ”
"That's because you don't need to, you don't even drink gas. Shen Yi smiled: "But at least I respect you." ”
The blue dragon understood a little: "Are you trying to persuade me to follow you? No, this is absolutely impossible, the dignity of the dragon clan cannot be trampled on." ”
Shen Yi laughed: "The dignity of the dragon clan? Are you kidding? Look at you now, although you are in the dragon clan, what is the use of that? The majesty of the dragon clan cannot stop the footsteps of the greedy, the strong strength cannot save you from the threat of death, and the arrogance of the dragon clan cannot let you gain noble freedom, as powerful as you even have to whisper for some worthless flowers and plants that grow on this ground, and take care of them carefully." Isn't this the treatment that a strong man deserves? Is this the reward that the dignity of your dragon clan should be? Don't you think it's unfair? Changing jobs, choosing better treatment, and maximizing your own value is the right that every life is born with, and you even deprive yourself of this power!"
"Wow. Lao Meng whistled: "Does he really want to fool this dragon into your team? But in any case, your boss's words are indeed very inflammatory, he must have secretly learned the diplomatic skills of Hero Invincible!"
Hong Lang shook his head: "No, it's not a diplomatic spell, it's a spell!
King Kong said, "No, it's talent, it's talent! I've always felt that he doesn't know anything, and he can crisscross the world with this mouth." ”
In the distance, the conversation between the blue dragon and Shen Yi continued, and Shen Yi tirelessly said: "With us, you will get the highest courtesy." You are no longer a self-appointed adult, but a real adult! I mean, from now on, we can experience the rich and colorful world together, see all kinds of strange lives, bravely fight, defeat the enemy, and get all the glory we deserve. No one can disrespect you, no one can restrain you, and no one even dares to disobey your will!"
The blue dragon was visibly in a state of confusion.
He never imagined that he would be co-opted by a human.
The city has endowed it with human intelligence, with the aim of making it stronger, with the ability to learn lessons and improve itself, but in turn, it also makes it possible to be communicated and persuaded.
For Shen Yi, what he likes is always the kind of intelligent life, which means that he can negotiate.
And for this blue dragon, isn't freedom what it dreams of?
In the past, it never knew the concept of job hopping, but today, Shen Yi has instilled this concept into it.
However, the stubbornness of the dragon clan's nature still made it not immediately accept Shen Yi's opinion.
It shook its head, "No, your proposal may be good, but I can't do that. For thousands of years, the dragon clan has never had a precedent for serving humanity, and I can't be a disgrace to the dragon clan. ”
This sense of shame may be Shen Yi's biggest obstacle at present, but it may not be the result of the city's covert interference.
But now Shen Yi already knows that the city may be strong, but it can never be completely controlled.
The city's control of life is still based on the characteristics of creatures, and as long as you find the right point, then success is a matter of time.
For Megatron, the temptation given by Shen Yi is actually a threat in disguise, and for this dragon, Shen Yi promises a bright future.
At present, this blue dragon has not been able to break through its psychological barrier.
But it doesn't matter, the seed of freedom has been planted, and sooner or later it will sprout and grow.
The important thing is that during this negotiation process, Blue Dragon will feel the "kindness" from Shen Yi, and it will feel embarrassed to reject the other party.
When a condition that is more difficult to meet is rejected by the other party, then a relatively easy condition will be easier to meet.
That is, the so-called sky-high asking price, and the money is paid back on the ground.
Therefore, after the other party said this, Shen Yi smiled and said: "I have said everything that should be said." If you don't agree, that's okay. But out of love for you, I will ask my partners to restrain their behavior. I think so, we don't take all the herbs here, just take a small percentage that works for us, what do you think?"
"That's for the best. The blue dragon replied excitedly.
"But then we're going to have a lot less revenue. Shen Yi touched his chin: "I came all the way to come here, but I only received so much ......"
The blue dragon immediately said, "You can come back tomorrow." With me, I won't embarrass you. ”
"Really?" Shen Yi's eyes narrowed: "This is a good idea, the spring water ......"
"You can continue to fetch it, but you have to leave some for the dragons. If you don't get too much, the dragons won't notice. ”
Really.
To Shen Yi's surprise, this time he didn't even have to bring it up himself, this blue dragon did it himself.
You're really self-conscious.
Subduing a dragon will certainly increase the strength of the Broken Blade team, but it will also completely anger the dragons, making it very difficult for them to fetch water in the future.
Since this is the case, I simply retreated to the next best thing and developed this dragon into an internal response first.
When the blue dragon has served everyone for a long time, everyone no longer needs the spring water of youth, and then abducting this dragon is the performance of maximizing benefits.
And as long as this dragon begins to serve them secretly, the future development will be a logical thing.
Apparently, though, the dragon itself was unaware of these problems.
He only thought that he was determined to reject the temptation of the enemy, but he did not realize that he had inadvertently entered the water, slipping farther and farther into the abyss of betrayal.
Hearing Lan Long's answer at this moment, Shen Yi smiled with satisfaction: "Then how about twelve hours a day?"
"It's too much, four hours, but you can come every day, so I'll be on a good deal. ”
"Then it's settled. Shen Yi stretched out his hand, and the blue dragon raised its huge dragon claws and slapped Shen Yi with a palm.
This time he didn't shoot Shen Yi away.
