Chapter 1 Prestige
The warm winter sun quietly shrouds the entire Luming Town!
On a corner of the main street, which is full of shops, on two stone piers that I don't know how much wind and frost they have experienced, there are two people, an old man and a young man.
The boy is thirteen or fourteen years old, with a beautiful face and clear eyes, which are unforgettable at first sight. The young man was wearing a cyan brocade robe, and at first glance he was not a child of a poor family.
The old man opposite the boy was wearing a little shabby, although it was also a robe, but the robe that could no longer distinguish the color was full of patches.
Although the old man also looks like a fairy wind bone, but if you look closely, this old man is more malnourished.
Immortals show the way!
On a bamboo pole stolen from a farmhouse somewhere, a piece of cloth that could barely be distinguished from white hung on it, making people write these four big characters crookedly.
"Master, I don't know something, I'm here to ask for advice!" the young man said solemnly as he threw his hand towards the old man.
The old man's eyes were shining, and he smashed his mouth, so that his legs, which were trembling with a little cold, barely calmed down.
"Second Young Master, if you have anything, just ask, as long as the old man knows, the old man will definitely tell the second young master everything. ”
"May I ask the master, what is prestige?" When the young man said this, his eyes were staring at the old man tightly, and he couldn't wait to take the answer out of the old man's body now.
"Prestige is mainly used on big people, such as Lord Lingzun Zheng Gongxuan, who is the most prestigious person in our town!" The old man's voice was gentle, giving people the feeling of being a master outside the world, but in the back, he slapped the young man on the back.
Naturally, he hoped that the young man could give him a little more hexagram gold later, so that he could wait for a while to drink hot soup.
"Does the master know how to gain prestige?" the young man's voice was more urgent.
The master pondered for a moment, and then said: "Second young master, although this reputation is one word, in the opinion of old age, it should be divided into two meanings. ”
"One is fame, the other is prestige. A combination of fame and prestige is prestige!"
"A lot of people are famous, but they don't necessarily have prestige, so you can't say they're prestigious. As far as Lingzun Zheng Old Master Zheng Zhenshou is concerned, he is famous and prestigious, so the people in our town will list him as the person with the highest prestige in our town!"
The young man's eyes became a little brighter, and he approached the master and said, "Master, how do you gain prestige?"
"Prestige, naturally it is highly respected, such as Ling Zun Zheng Old Man ......" The old man gave his hand again, and when he was about to brag about the young man's father, he saw that the young man's face had turned black at this time.
Although this young master was the most charitable lord in the town, the master did not dare to make the young man angry, after all, he had not eaten properly for two days.
"To gain prestige, in addition to being highly respected, there is another way, and that is to make others afraid of you!" The protest of the stomach made the master's head a little dizzy, so for a while, his explanation deviated from the theme he had thought of.
But it doesn't matter, the master eats by mouth, so he quickly came around and said: "So, prestige, it is famous, and people are afraid of you!"
"This high morality will have prestige, and it will also be feared, and it will also have prestige if it dominates one side. And this prestige can still be fought for, when you defeat a person with prestige, then all his prestige is basically yours!"
The boy was a little stunned, and the master gently wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and at this moment, he deeply admired his intelligence.
"Listen to the master's words, I understand!" the young man suddenly stood up from the stone pier, his eyes full of admiration.
The master looked at the young man's appearance, and his expression was indifferent on the surface, but his heart was already happy. Being able to fool the second young master of the first family in the town is a good record for him.
Maybe in the future, I can still get an errand at the head of the town.
"Master, I still have one more thing that I need the master's help with!" the young man's eyes were full of sincerity.
"The second young master is so angry, if there is anything that needs the help of the old man, just say it. The master waved his hand, full of pride.
The young man couldn't bear to glance at the master, but in the end he still made up his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Since the master is so arrogant, then the kid is not welcome." ”
As he spoke, the young man swung his fist, a cannon that struck hard at the master's thin body.
The master, who hadn't eaten much for two days, was directly beaten to the ground. The terrible screams suddenly provoked the review of many people around.
Although the young man couldn't bear it in his eyes, the fist did not retract, and the fist beckoned towards the place where the master had a lot of meat, but after a while, the master's cry became more and more poignant.
"Is the master afraid of me?" the young man asked the master solemnly after three more punches!
At this time, in addition to physical pain, the master was more mentally confused. He didn't understand, the second young master was still chatting with himself just now, with the strength of a mountain and a river meeting a bosom friend, but before a moment, how could he beat himself so miserably.
I didn't offend this young master much!
"I'm afraid! The little old man is afraid of the second young master!" the master said in a loud voice in line with the principle that a hero does not suffer immediate losses.
The young man groaned for a moment, and then his delicate face showed anger: "You are duplicitous, why are you afraid of me, my prestige does not increase!"
As he spoke, the young man's fist struck down towards the master again.
This time, although it was still a lot of meat, the master clearly felt that his pain had doubled.
The master was stunned, the three words prestige, he knew the first two, which one in the back meant, he really didn't know!
And what makes it even more difficult for the master to accept is why does the second young master of the Zheng family feel that if he beats himself, what of his prestige points will increase?
However, in the confusion, the master was more afraid of this second young master of the Zheng family, who had always been a civilized and sunny young man in the eyes of the whole town.
It was also after these three points of fear appeared, the young man waving his fist stopped, his eyes full of surprise.
"I'll buy you something to eat!" the boy threw out a handful of copper coins, and strode away, but his eyes were full of ecstasy.
"Hmph, Wu Banxian, this old guy, must have said something that shouldn't be said, otherwise how could the second young master of the Zheng family beat him!" said a man who watched the excitement.
As soon as the man's words were finished, he was greeted by other people who were watching the excitement: "Second Young Master of the Zheng family, that is the best person in our town, last year I had a stomachache and couldn't walk, but he took someone to send me to the hospital and took the medicine money for me!"
"That is, the second young master of the Zheng family is the best person!"
"Wu Banxian, you bad guy, what did you say to the second young master, so that the nine good boys in our town can't help but beat you!"
For a while, the three aunts and six wives joined the conquest of Wu Banxian. Although the fortune-telling is not very good, Wu Banxian is also a character in Luming Town, but at this moment, he has become a rat crossing the street.
Wu Banxian, who fought hard and finally escaped from the encirclement, was in a dilapidated alley, bursting into tears and asking the sky speechlessly.
Why?
Why did the second young master of the Zheng family, who was known as the Nine Good Boys, beat himself? Why did those three aunts and six women even ask for themselves after being beaten by themselves, why?
Also What is reputation?
......
"Hahaha, prestige, his grandmother's, I finally understand the true meaning of prestige, it turns out that Lao Tzu has been getting into the tip of the horn all these years!"
Fortunately, at this time, there were no women washing clothes by the river, otherwise people would definitely think that the second young master of the Zheng family was crazy.
Zheng Ming is not crazy, Zheng Ming is very sober!
He behaved like this because he had finally figured out a problem, a question that had been bothering him since he came into the world.
Fame!
Since he came to this world, Zheng Ming has not only carried the memories of his previous life, but also a deck of cards!
Zheng Ming's previous life was an orphan with no father and mother, and in addition to working hard for survival, his only hobby was to play some card games such as Three Kingdoms Kill and Hero Kill.
It's just that no matter how good the game is, there are times when I get tired of playing it, so I searched for Zheng Ming, who was searching for similar games, and found a small website.
A chess and card game that surpasses the Three Kingdoms Kill, surpasses the Hero Kill, and includes all the heroes and heroes at home and abroad in the ancient, ancient, and medieval times, making you cool to explode and make you cool to fly......
The introduction of nearly 1,000 words, Zheng Ming still remembers it clearly. But just as he entered the game interface, the game's dialog box just popped up Welcome to the game, and the system will give you 100 reputation points to help you activate the game. The ground trembled, and then Zheng Ming felt like he had fallen into darkness.
When Zheng Ming woke up, he became the Zheng Ming of this world, and what came with him, except for memory, was the game that was not activated.
After studying the cards that claim to include all the heroes at home and abroad, including modern, ancient, medieval, ancient, and ancient times, Zheng Ming found that he who came to this world could redeem the skills of all the heroes on the cards.
And what is used for exchange is reputation!
Since coming to this world where the strong are respected, Zheng Ming has been thinking about how to gain prestige, but in the first six years of coming to this world, he basically did nothing.
Because for the first six years his focus was on growing the body.
After the age of six, after being determined to be an ordinary cultivation physique, and it was difficult to enter the product in the future, Zheng Ming began his path of earning prestige points.
At first, he felt that prestige should be a good reputation, so he helped people with children, helped the elderly cross the street, and carried water and firewood to widows with a group of little children......
Zheng Ming has done a lot of these good things, and he has also won the title of the best beautiful boy in the town, but the prestige table that entered his heart with that deck of cards has still not changed.
I believe that as long as the kung fu is deep and the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle, Zheng Ming, who has persisted in doing good things for seven or eight years, will still have zero prestige.
When he found out that the reputation value of the maid Ah Hua who took care of him was five, he was completely devastated!
That's why he looked for the master and said what was depressed in his heart.
The reason why he was looking for a master, in addition to the fact that he was the only fortune teller in the town, was because through the prestige table in his heart, Zheng Ming found that the prestige of this master was actually the fifth in the town!
The first is naturally his father Zheng Gongxuan!
finally achieved a breakthrough of zero, which is a historical progress for Zheng Ming.
However, in order to activate the deck of cards in his heart and exchange reputation for the skills of the characters in the cards, he still needs ninety-nine reputation points.
Didn't the master say that the prestige value could be plundered? He had already beaten the master, why did he only get one of the more than 3,000 prestige points?
After thinking about it for a while, Zheng Ming didn't come up with a reason, but this was not a problem for Zheng Ming.
Since you can get prestige by being a bad guy and making others afraid of you, you can't say that you have to be a bad guy in a small town!
And to be a bad person, the first thing to do is to do bad things!
Thinking that he was going to do something bad, Zheng Ming's heart, I don't know what, a little excitement rose!
