Chapter 88: What is Deliverance
"No, thank you. ”
I thought I would hesitate, but Fang Yuan didn't. He smiled a little self-mockingly, tilted his head, and looked at the teacup on the small table.
A broken leaf of tea in the cup floated and fell with a little water wave, and the other leaves in the cup seemed to be bullying it, pressing it down for a while, and knocking it over again, as if he was adrift in the floating world at that time.
Before he came to this world, Fang Yuan's daily life was as if he was carrying a whole mountain on his back, and it was as if he was in the mud.
At that time, Fang Yuan's home was no longer the one he lived in now, but an old family building of less than 60 square meters, so old that people didn't dare to take it to the bank for a mortgage. There is no living room, and the two small bedrooms are just one for him and his father.
He was nearly thirty years old at the time, and he had never talked about a girlfriend. Of course, I had a favorite object when I was in school, but at that time, I was too poor to say it.
He can save ten or twenty yuan with a month's pocket money, not to mention a decent gift, even if he takes a girl out to a food stall, he can only order one, and then watch others eat.
Over time, the inferiority complex in my heart began to intensify. From talking and laughing at the beginning, to being reluctant to socialize with classmates, to not daring to socialize with classmates.
Fang Yuan's youth was like this, before he could say it, he had already disappeared.
The four years of college were the happiest of his life. During those four years, he did not study, did not fall in love, and did not participate in any social activities, he lived in the virtual world of the game for four full years.
I remember that at that time, there were many people pointing fingers behind his back, they didn't understand why a person locked himself in the virtual world, and they didn't understand why a person who could survive, fight, and use his brain in the virtual world couldn't do it in real life.
Of course they don't understand.
Everything Fang Yuan has paid in the virtual world will definitely be duly rewarded, he will definitely have experience and gold coins when he fights monsters, and he will definitely have equipment and titles when he does tasks.
In the virtual world, whenever Fang Yuan encountered some difficulties and couldn't get over, as long as he shouted in the world, many well-wishers would immediately appear to help him tide over the difficulties. And when he gradually became stronger, he was also very willing to help those who were just starting out.
But what's in the real world?
The bullying ruffian, the teacher and instructor who tend to be inflammatory, the classmates and colleagues who are deceitful, and the boss and boss who are mercenary.
Fortunately, God had mercy on him and gave him a chance to start over. Constantly getting stronger and winning again and again made him understand a truth, it is not this world that is wrong, what is wrong is that he is reincarnated in the body of the weak.
What is Deliverance?
Is it salvation to let yourself lose this ability to change your life, or is it salvation to give up the power that is gradually becoming invincible?
Fart!
Since this ability will not let him die, it is enough! Only the strong, only alive, can enjoy the goodwill of this world, can they possess all the beauty of this world, and can they feel the value and meaning of existence!
"I just need to know that I'm not going to die...... That's enough. ”
"Is that really the case?" Grandpa Wannian looked at Fang Yuan with a deep gaze, "Although life will only exist this once, there are many things that have meanings beyond life itself. ”
"You're right...... Fang Yuan said, "There are indeed many things that override life, such as strength. When you're not strong enough, the whole world seems to be against you. Only when you are really strong will you realize that this world should be trampled under your feet. ”
Grandpa Wannian couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said, "Many things in this world are not black and white, you took the initiative to close the window of communication, how can you blame the world for being indifferent?"
"But the essence of this world is to bully the weak!" Fang Yuan said with a little excitement, "Fear of the strong, bend your waist to the powerful, bully the weak, and be cold to the poor, this is the deepest root of this world!"
Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, although he realized that he had just made a little gaffe, he didn't care very much.
"Thankfully, this time, I stood in the ranks of the strong. Since I can't change it, I can only opt in. ”
Fang Yuan's words made Grandpa Wannian's eyes flicker with a hint of emotion.
After a while, Grandpa Wannian's face showed a bit of fatigue that an old man should have. He looked at Fang Yuan, wanting to say something more, but in the end he didn't speak. So he waved his hand lightly, signaling that Fang Yuan could leave.
After a good day's rest, Fang Yuan's various body attributes finally returned to their normal state, only the aura attribute was still 0 points, which should have been affected by the realm in the painting.
Fang Yuan tried it, and the Xuanji Heavenly Eight Dao couldn't be used here, but fortunately, the essence exchange could still be carried out normally. After learning that he would not die because of this, Fang Yuan's exchange of Jing Yuan became bold again.
But he didn't exchange it immediately, but wanted to wait until he left the painting realm to exchange all the essence yuan for aura attributes. The reason is very simple, the Eight Paths of Xuanji Heavenly Darkness can't strengthen the endurance attribute, but the Spirit Cultivation Technique can.
After the Diaphragm Yu Dao is opened, his aura attribute will become five times the original, and in terms of income, it is comparable to the Absolute Bone Dao. However, the aura attribute is more flexible with the assistance of the Spiritual Cultivation Technique, and it is more advantageous in the diversified combat needs.
One day away, the Hundred Demon Movement Conference is about to begin.
Originally, when he thought that his opponents were all large unconventional beasts like black hands, Fang Yuan's heart was still a little bottomless. But now that his physical attributes have been fully recovered, plus he still has 100,000 essence points by his side in case of emergency, he is not afraid of ten more gorillas.
The next night, Xiao Hei took Fang Yuan up a hill. Looking down from the hillside, there is a dense jungle surrounded by mountains. In the middle of the jungle is a large dead lake, quiet and secluded, like the pupils of an eye that has been gazing for thousands of years.
Xiao Hei looked at the forest with deep eyes, and the moonlight hit his face, and a faint sense of sadness appeared.
"This is where the Hundred Demon Movement Conference is held, and we habitually call it the Orchard. ”
"Orchard? It's a funny name, why is it called that?"
"There is a very special kind of fruit growing in this dense forest, they are crystal clear, and the surface is gentle, we all call it the fire spirit fruit. I told you before that the content of the Hundred Demon Sports Conference is to grab fruits. And this fruit refers to the fire spirit fruit. The rules for winning the conference are also very simple, whoever gets the most fruits will be the ultimate champion. It sounds like a fruit farmer harvesting fruit during the harvest season, so it's called an orchard. ”
"The confrontation of strength between a group of demons turned out to be more than who picked more fruits. When you say that, it sounds like a big competition for fruit growers. ”
"I'm not saying who picks more fruit, I'm talking about who gets more fruit. ”
Fang Yuan instantly reflected the difference between the two, and Xiao Hei had also mentioned that it was to grab the fruit before, so he immediately understood the meaning.
"I got a lot of fruit, that is, it doesn't matter how I got it, what matters is how much I get in the end, right?"
Xiao Hei nodded and said, "Regardless of the process, regardless of the means, just look at the result." Every year, there will be a hundred Fire Spirit Fruits in this orchard, and if you can get 51 of them, you will win. According to this year's new rules, if you get 100, you're a complete winner. ”
Fang Yuan smiled slightly, and said, "As long as there are demons participating in the conference, there will definitely be fruits that will be taken away, even if they just take one and hide it, it can't be regarded as a complete victory, so the black hand will find a way to make the other demons withdraw." In this way, all the Fire Spirit Fruits here will belong to them. ”
Xiao Hei nodded in agreement and said, "Anyway, you must be very careful tomorrow." This is the only place in the world of the painting where no one can interfere even if they lose their lives. ”
"Really?" Fang Yuan said, "I thought no one cared where the murder was going on here!, then why did that gorilla dare to be so rampant last time?"
Xiao Hei said: "That's because Wanyun Mountain has been very close to the envoys of the Divine Beast Palace recently, so as long as they don't make too much trouble, most of the envoys will turn a blind eye." ”
It turns out that the world of demons and the world of people are the same, and it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree! It just so happens that in the real society, Fang Yuan has not suffered less from the related households, since this is the case, he just took this opportunity to kill this unhealthy trend.
"Since this is a place that the envoys of the Divine Beast Palace can't control, then let those guys in Wanyun Mountain pay some due price for what they did tomorrow!"
Xiao Hei glanced at Fang Yuan and said, "Grandpa Wannian asked me to tell you, if you regret it, you can go to him." Until you leave the Painting Realm, everything he says to you is still valid. ”
Fang Yuan smiled indifferently and said, "No need, if you can still see Grandpa Wannian, help me tell him, I have nothing to regret, this decision is the most correct choice I have made in so many years." ”
Xiao Hei said: "Although I don't know what you said between you, Grandpa Wannian is a kind-hearted good demon, and he is well-informed, well-versed in the past and present, and can even predict the future." I think if he has any suggestions, you'd better listen to them. Don't you human beings often say that if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer a loss in front of you?"
"Actually, everyone understands the truth. But if you haven't experienced what others have been through, you'll never understand why they're doing what they're doing. It's like others don't understand why you have to participate in the Hundred Demon Sports Conference. ”
Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Xiao Hei's expression seemed to be smiling, but he didn't seem to be smiling.
He looked down and didn't say anything more. The moonlight shone on him, but the shadow covered his face, even though it was originally black.
Suddenly, a strong sense of sleepiness hit, Fang Yuan yawned and said to Xiao Hei: "Xiao Hei, go back to sleep! ”
Xiao Hei's vision also became a little blurry, and said, "I...... I seem to be a little sleepy too. No, hold on, don't sleep! This ...... It's like smoke!"
Before the word "smoke" in Xiao Hei's mouth could reach Fang Yuan's ears, his mind was already a muddy patch. With a plop, Fang Yuan fell to the ground and fell asleep.
A slender figure appeared in front of Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei's blurred eyes barely managed to see the appearance of the comer, and said weakly: "Sure enough...... It's you ......."
