What's the best way to deal with licking dogs?

Every now and then throwing out some specious sweetness, it's just an entry-level fishing operation...

Gao Player, who is proficient in the way of the Sea King, often takes advantage of the psychology of the other party's unilateral payment to invisibly expand the sunk cost, so that whenever the licking dog has the idea of giving up, it will continue to persist because of the idea of "I have paid so much" and "I can succeed if I hold on a little longer".

On top of that, if you are willing to go further and apply the theory of "loss aversion", then you can also develop advanced gameplay such as "want to catch and indulge", and completely play the other party in the palm of your hand.

Of course, Lu Fuyan was not this kind of scumbag who played with other people's feelings in his past life and in this life...

But if these methods were used on extremely dangerous transcendent creatures, Lao Lu would not have the slightest psychological burden.

- In the face of an overzealous dog-licking mutant, if you just blindly refuse to apply for improved diplomatic relations, you may make the other side angry and even take risks.

But if you do the opposite, before the situation gets completely out of control, you can question the foundation of trust that has been established, and there is a certain chance that the other party will be able to wake up from the fanatical foolishness.

It's like facing an awkward bear child at lunch...

If you just warn it and don't give it candy at night, it may become even more violent, and its crying will be even more exaggerated;

But if you threaten to confiscate the candy that has been given to it in the morning if you don't obey the arrangement, then under the manipulation of the "loss aversion" psychology, it will most likely temporarily shut up and switch to a state of thinking about weighing the pros and cons.

Although most of the time, this process will not be too long - the unfulfilled bear child will eventually return to the old way of making a fuss...

Therefore, from the standpoint of "parents", after the threat, we should take advantage of this cooling-off period to make correct guidance in order to solve the problem at the root.

Similar scenes are the same when applied to Lu Fuyan.

Confusion and fanaticism always dominate interactions with unidentified mutants, so it is important to secure a window of opportunity for rational communication.

And as Lu used the "dissolution of the treaty" as a bargaining chip to threaten the other party, the mutant who was eager to go on the spot was indeed as he expected, and fell into a short period of condensation...

Seeing that the other party had extinguished the idea of "coming to your door immediately", Lu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and gave his compensation in a timely manner.

…

The First Republic issued an application for a note

【First Republic】Application for [Dispatch of Military Advisers]

…

As one of the many additional diplomatic conditions, although the dispatch of advisers does not directly improve diplomatic relations between the two sides, it is also a diplomatic act of goodwill according to the system.

Coincidentally, General Chuikov, who had just taken office as commander-in-chief of the First Army, happened to be idle at this time, and sending him as an adviser to contact the dog-licking mutant could take the opportunity to understand the details of the other side and provide a basis for further actions of the First Republic;

On the other hand, given the capabilities of General Chuikov himself ... There is still a lot of room for improvement, if the other party really has bad intentions, then the loss of such a general, the "ruthless" ruler will not be distressed.

"That being said, I still hope to come back safely and bring back some useful information..."

…

The game between virtual nations is unknown to the outside world.

Even Zhao Manyun, who was close at hand, could only see that Lu was always struggling on the verge of losing control in the process of his body healing, and he couldn't detect any operation of the First Republic at all.

The two sides are like different players in the same single-player game, even if they are in the same environment, but what they know and feel is completely different due to the difference in "equipment" and "level".

This state of non-interference would probably continue, but due to Lu Fuyan's lowly interference in the internal affairs of other countries, the two twin worlds that were like xenomorphs unexpectedly had a brief resonance...

- Miss Zhao, who was originally using the Heroic Spirit Ability to prevent accidents, suddenly felt the restlessness of a certain legendary crystal in her body.

As one of the dozens of supernatural abilities she possesses, this crystal is not currently active, and should remain dormant.

But because of Lu Fuyan's teasing, it suddenly became active. There was even a tendency to break away from Zhao Manyun's control for a time!

Fortunately, someone Lu, who was inside the First Republic, stopped in time, so that it did not cause a more serious disaster.

… It's just that such a change still aroused Miss Zhao's suspicions.

She immediately put the target of her suspicion on Lao Lu, and forced self-inspection through some means to ensure that she was not infiltrated by the divine power released by the natural disaster-level pollution source.

And after this short delay, Lu Fuyan's side has stabilized the injury through the ability to recover from overspeed in an uncontrolled state.

The original hideous wound had basically healed by this time, and most of the damaged tissues had been repaired.

Although under the influence of divine power, the position and function of each organ have undergone slight changes... But no matter what, Lu is finally out of danger and can stop the grinding state of repeatedly jumping sideways on the edge of losing control.

Lying on the operating table, he struggled to open his eyes, and his transpositional breathing and rapidly converging evil divine power immediately attracted Miss Zhao's attention.

"You're waking up so fast."

“... Where are we? ”

"One of the safe houses arranged in advance by the Self-Help Association is to accommodate the injured and carry out emergency treatment."

Zhao Manyun looked through the torn clothes and looked at the newly born skin under the blood stain of someone Lu

"But as things stand, you probably don't need medical attention—the power of the evil god is amazing, isn't it?"

“... It happened suddenly, and I had no choice but to do it. ”

"I didn't blame you."

Miss Zhao shook her head

"Failing to detect and stop the killer sent by Zhou Congrong in advance was a mistake in our work, and if you really want to talk about it, it should be me and Lao Wu who apologize to you."

“...”

Lu Fuyan did not reply immediately.

Although it stands to reason that Lu, who has just walked on the edge of life and death, does have the right to be held responsible, considering the position between the two sides and the general environment of external confrontation between enemies and friends, he still decided to have a high emotional intelligence in front of his comrades.

"I accept your apologies... But for now, let's talk about the dueling match. How dare the other party interfere with the play-in tournament in such an outrageous way? ”

According to the plan set before, the group of men in black who rushed in halfway were actually completely expected by the Self-Help Association.

After all, intelligence and reconnaissance work has always been a two-way street...

Since they could perceive Mr. Zhou's plan, the other party would naturally not be deaf and blind and ignore their existence.

Lu even knew that Miss Zhao had taken the lead and rescued key witnesses from the men of the poison gas dealers sent by Zhou Congrong. Just wait for the other thief to shout to catch the thief, and when he bites back, he sacrifices his trump card and completes the counter-kill!

… It's a pity that Zhou Congrong's determination obviously exceeded the expectations of the Self-Help Association.

Unexpectedly, he would not even hesitate to violate the unspoken rules maintained by the relay station for many years, and openly use firearms to wipe out the unstable factors that may affect his rule!

And with this section, the subsequent series of arrangements have been disrupted.

In response to this completely unpredictable development, Lu will take the initiative to ask about the follow-up of the play-in competition after he wakes up.

But to this question, Miss Zhao's answer is very subtle...

"Those don't matter anymore - just now, all the members of the enforcement team involved in this incident have been evacuated, and the operation to overthrow the slave rule of the Toutuoling relay station has failed."
