Chapter 186: Asking for Advice (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Xu Shen stared at the old man for a moment.
The two looked at each other, Xu Shen immediately understood the old man's thoughts, he slowly put away his sword, and said, "What Old Zhao said is reasonable. ”
The old man surnamed Zhao saw that Xu Shen was willing to sell his thin noodles, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he nodded to Xu Shen, but he felt regretful in his heart.
He originally wanted his people to defeat Xu Shen, who had just performed well, and show it well in front of the queen ant, who would have thought that it would become Xu Shen's stepping stone, but it would make his edge even better.
The two two states of the Black Light Bureau, except for the retired Wang Lao, that Chu Bai has now taken over the position of Wang Lao, but this Xu Brigade is only condescending to the captain, and from the perspective of rank, it is obviously inferior to that Chu Bai.
Judging by the resumes of the two, the same is true.
But Xu Shen's performance is not at all like the two states that have just been promoted, such a strong and ruthless shot is better than most of the two states.
Could it be that this is a disguise?
That Liu Ju knew in advance that the queen ant wanted to recruit a guard?
Thinking of this, the old man surnamed Zhao frowned, he didn't know much about Liu Jichuan, he had only seen a few times, but the latter left a deep impression on him, he was an unpredictable guy.
Two wins in a row!
With the intervention of the old man surnamed Zhao, Xu Shen politely withdrew, but everyone's eyes fell on this young man, who had defeated the young man in the sleepless area before, and it could still be said that he had the ability to restrain himself, but he had just defeated this middle-aged man in the manipulation department, and the control and means of the ruins he showed were extremely solid combat abilities.
"Isn't his ability a perception system, what is that silk-like power?" Beside Yue Ling, the young man's face was gloomy and his brows were furrowed.
The defeat of the middle-aged man, to be honest, made him a little happy in his heart, and inexplicably felt that he had saved some face.
But Xu Shen's strange methods made him unable to see through.
His previous defeat didn't seem to be because of this ruin, could it be that the other party defeated him without his ability?!
"That's pure ruin control."
Moon Spirit whispered.
Although she is extremely young, she is already quite experienced and mature, and at a glance she can see that the ruin silk used by Xu Shen is not her ability, but her own skills in studying the ruin power.
In the words of the big man in the inner city, this is the secret art!
"Interesting."
At this moment, a soft and elegant voice sounded.
Everyone in the hall looked at the noble figure on the silver soft couch.
For the first time now, the queen has spoken after the battle.
"Did you conceive of this silk yourself?" The queen ant's eyes were clear, and she looked at Xu Shen indifferently, but Xu Shen had a feeling of being stared at, as if the world and the hall around her had disappeared, and only a pair of clear eyes looking down on her eyes remained.
He hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Yes!" ”
"How did you come up with that?" The queen whispered.
"Mom" teaches by word and deed...... Xu Shen had a secret belly in his heart, and said in a low voice: "When I cut the ruins, I felt it, and I figured it out randomly. ”
The queen ant glanced at Xu Shen quietly, Xu Shen suddenly had a feeling that his inner thoughts were being peeped at, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, could it be that the other party had the ability to read and write?
He immediately remained silent, not cranky.
After a while, the queen ant bowed slightly, and said, "Yes, it is a rare talent to be able to conceive such a wonderful use of ruin power and try to succeed......
Hearing the queen's praise, the eyes of the others looking at Xu Shen became a little complicated.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Queen Ant." Xu Shen blushed, showing shyness and restraint, looking as immature as his age.
The queen ant didn't reply again, the hall was quiet for a few seconds, and the old man surnamed Zhao looked at the queen ant, and saw that she had no intention of speaking again, so he motioned for everyone to continue, and at the same time threw a kind smile at Xu Shen.
Xu Shen saw the meaning of the old man's smile, apologized for the previous incident, and also hoped to make friends.
Obviously, the words of the queen ant made many people think that Xu Shen was expected to be selected as the queen's personal guard, so their attitude towards him changed greatly.
Xu Shenbao responded with a smile, expressing his willingness to accept this kindness.
Now that he has just risen, it is the time to accumulate contacts, even if he does not take the initiative to make friends, he tries to avoid making enemies.
As the competition continues, the general bureau's two-state ends, and no one challenges Xu Shen anymore, after all, Xu Shen is favored by the queen ant, even if he is defeated, it is estimated that it will be difficult to change anything, but if he continues to challenge at this moment, it is easy to offend the other party.
If the other party blows the wind next to the queen ant one day, it will be unlucky.
"Can you tell me the secret of your power control?"
Just as Xu Shen was watching and discussing, a figure walked over, tall and tall, with a face as cold as ice and snow, it was the woman surnamed Xue.
Xu Shen also knew the other party's name, Xue Haining.
"Huh?"
Not only Xu Shen was surprised, but Luo Hua and the others next to him also looked at this woman in surprise, as the leader of the General Bureau, he actually came to ask Xu Shen about the battle at this moment?
Luo Hua and the others' eyes fell on Xu Shen, a little envious.
Xu Shen looked at the other party's calm gaze, thought about it, and said, "It is to release the ruin power and condense it into silk." ”
Xue Haining's eyes were unwavering, and he didn't seem to blame Xu Shen for the simplicity of what he said, but immediately closed his eyes, and soon, Luo Hua and the others, including other people who paid attention to this place, saw the rich ruin power that appeared on her body.
These ruin forces are changing rapidly, like a big hand twisting and kneading them, and the ruin forces are rapidly splitting and changing into slender lines of energy.
But when it shrank to the thickness of a finger, the speed slowed down significantly, and when it shrank again, these ruins slid down like a seven-inch snake head, sliding down softly, gradually crumbling and dissipating.
When the power of the ruins shrinks to a certain extent, it is difficult to maintain control.
Xue Haining opened her eyes, her brows furrowed slightly on her calm face, she glanced at Xu Shen, and Xu Shen obviously saw a trace of the will not to admit defeat from the calm in her eyes.
Soon, Xue Haining closed her eyes again, this time she had learned wisely, and the ruin power she released was not as strong as before, just a small cluster, which changed rapidly at her shoulder.
From the shape of fireworks, it splits into finger-like strips.
Then it twists and turns, twists and twists, and tightens.
Under her control, the ruin power really changed a lot smaller, twisting from the thumb to the thickness of the little finger, but as it continued to twist, it suddenly broke, and then lost control, and the ruin power dissipated in the air.
The second attempt, it ended in failure.
Xue Haining's attempt attracted a lot of people's attention, so much so that few people paid attention to even the competition on the field at this moment.
When they saw the change in her ruin power, everyone immediately understood that she wanted to learn Xu Shen and control the ruin power into silk.
"It's a quick learner."
Seeing Xue Haining's progress and changes in ruin power, many people had solemn eyes, and secretly thought about waiting to try it themselves, this kind of combat method they had not imagined before, and now seeing the example from Xu Shen, everyone wants to try, after all, the effect of the battle is too strong, comparable to a terrible ability.
Now.
After the second failed attempt, Xue Haining opened her eyes again, her face was a little gloomy, not as calm as before.
Unleash the power of ruins and condense into silk?
It's easy to say, but it's extremely difficult to manipulate.
The more delicate the ruin force, the weaker the perceptual penetration, and the ruin force is like a nerve fiber, the more peripheral it is, the more difficult it is to control.
Xue Haining looked at the young man in front of her, seeing the young man's puzzled look, some anger gradually welled up in her heart, she restrained herself, and then said calmly: "Is there any secret?" ”
Xu Shen thought for a while and said, "There is no secret, just practice repeatedly to improve your control." ”
You mean I don't have enough control...... Xue Haining snorted coldly in his heart and said, "There are a lot of people here, it's okay if it's inconvenient to say, don't go back, I'll come to you." ”
“?”
Xu Shen was a little inexplicable, watching the woman turn around and leave, his brows furrowed.
He was polite enough, and he basically said it truthfully.
But the other party doesn't seem to know how to be grateful, is it such a character, or is it arrogant from the heart?
He frowned slightly, didn't think about it anymore, anyway, when the other party found him again, he said the same.
In fact, the reason why he chose to say it truthfully was mainly because he felt that this was like a small trick, which has now been exposed, and as long as others are willing to put some effort into it, they can practice it themselves.
It makes no difference between saying it and not saying it.
Like his drawn sword.
As long as others insist on 8 hours of repeated practice every day, they can also achieve his sword speed and power.
No skill, it's all proficiency.
After Xue Haining left, the competition in the arena was about to end.
Everyone heard the conversation between Xue Haining and Xu Shen, their minds turned, and their eyes looked at Xu Shen a little more thoughtfully, thinking about whether to turn around and contact Xu Shen and visit, such a powerful combat skill is definitely worth learning.
It didn't take long for the two states present to end their mutual discussion.
Subsequently, someone brought up the ruin-breaking device and broke the ruins in the hall area.
Next is the initial state of each district to compete and compete.
Compared with the two-state battle, the initial state of the battle is basically incapable of confrontation, it is all a fight of moves, basically the same running line, and the competition is all about the difference in combat experience, as well as the changes and thoughts during the battle.
However, there are a few of them who have begun to emerge in their abilities, although they are extremely obscure, but they have a lot of advantages in combat power and have successfully won.
Luo Hua and others, who were accompanying Xu Shen, also stepped forward to show themselves, picking their respective opponents, Luo Hua won smoothly and returned with surprise and excitement, while the other three won two defeats, with an overall score of 2 wins and 2 losses.
The look of defeat is lonely, and the mood of victory is agitated, and he looks at the queen ant from time to time, hoping to get the other party's eyes.
But the queen ant leaned on the silver couch, like a king looking down on the clouds, and her eyes seemed to cover all living beings, and she did not move any of them.
In the evening.
The discussion in the hall is also coming to an end.
After the competition between the districts, the queen ant praised a few words and let everyone go to dinner.
As for the selection of personal guards, he didn't mention it, which made many people wonder, looking at the old man surnamed Zhao, could it be that he just said nonsense?
But he shouldn't have the courage to fake the news of the queen ant.
The old man surnamed Zhao also had some drums in his heart, he knew the temperament of this queen ant, he wanted to be in one place, maybe he wanted to promote the guards in the morning, and it was very likely that he didn't want to do it at night.
The two most bizarre things that the queen ant did were to build a second snow palace, but when the instructions were delivered, all districts urgently prepared all kinds of supplies, but the queen ant turned around and said that she would not do it.
Another time, the queen ant was preparing to go out outside the wall, and the army was assembled, but the queen ant was canceled again, and it was only later that she was inquired about and found out that she had gone back to sleep.
Many people are no stranger to this wayward king.
But even so, no one dared to take the queen's words as a deaf ear.
After discovering these things, someone once neglected the words of the queen ant and failed to complete the things ordered by the queen ant, and was directly sentenced to capital punishment and died a miserable death.
The average king is hard to guess, but the queen ant doesn't have to guess, because you don't know when she's going to change her mind.
But no matter what, what the queen explains, it must be done.
Soon, everyone came to the dinner hall.
A table full of sumptuous dinners makes people dazzled and sigh at the luxury of the dinner.
Everyone took their seats.
Under the notice of the queen ant's personal guard, everyone learned that the queen ant had already eaten, so in order to avoid everyone being nervous and cramped, they did not accompany everyone to enjoy it.
While everyone regretted it, they also relaxed a little, and they really dined with the queen ant, and it was estimated that no one could eat enough.
As they took their seats, the old man surnamed Zhao skillfully guided the topic of the table, and everyone gradually ate, drank and chatted.
During this period, the people who had previously competed with each other also changed their cups and exchanged pleasantries with each other.
Halfway through the wine.
While others were chatting, the old man surnamed Zhao came to Xu Shen's side and said, "Team Xu, how about having a drink with the old man?" ”
"Old Zhao is polite." Xu Shen hurriedly picked up the cup.
"Don't mind what happened before, Team Xu is a smart person, I won't say much about the old man, if there is anything that Team Xu needs help in the future, just look for my old man." The old man surnamed Zhao said with a smile.
What he was referring to, Xu Shen understood, was not to block his pursuit for the middle-aged man, but to let the middle-aged man challenge himself and want to use himself as a stepping stone.
Xu Shen also understands that this is human nature, and only with strength can he be respected by others.
"Mr. Zhao is polite, if there is trouble with Mr. Zhao in the future, I hope to help." Xu Shen said with a smile.
"Well said." The old man surnamed Zhao said with a smile: "Old man, I have been the captain of the General Bureau for some years, and I still have a little connection, Xu Brigade is young and promising, and maybe the old man will also ask you in the future." ”
Xu Shen hurriedly exchanged two words, and the two clinked glasses, writing off the previous small contradictions.
After the old man surnamed Zhao left, the leader of the Nightingale District and the leader of the Free Zone also came to clink glasses with Xu Shen and say a few words of greetings with a slightly drunken spirit, which was regarded as leaving an impression and leaving a contact information for each other.
Xu Shen understands that this is the circle.
If you take the initiative yourself, you can turn the circle into a network.
In addition, Yue Ling also took advantage of the time when no one was around, and came to talk to Xu Shen for a few words, the two are also old acquaintances, but there are few people who know their relationship, and the two of them don't say much, and they return to each other with a few polite words.
"Do you know him well?" When the moon spirit returned to his position, the young man frowned and asked, he faintly smelled a special smell.
Yue Ling shook her head slightly, "It's a few faces, I've seen it in the ruins cave, and I also helped us in the sleepless area." ”
The young man was a little surprised in his heart, although he had just become a two-state, but the moon spirit in the game, who had been in the spotlight for a long time, had been admired for a long time, and there was something unpleasant in his heart at the moment, but he didn't say anything, just drank with his head bored.
