Chapter 187: Concealing the sky and crossing the sea
"As promised, I'm here."
When Qingyi saw the wise Gareth again, he was still the same as last time, with a green scalp on the left side, wearing rough shorts, shorts, and sandals. This short, stocky man with a pockmarked face never seemed to like him
He is polite and decent, and just likes to live his own life. Although Gareth said everything, Qingyi still feels that the title "Gareth the Wise" is weird.
Gareth pointed to another bench and motioned for Qingyi to sit down: "You came faster than I thought."
"Losers have nothing to hesitate." Qingyi sat safely in the throne of shadows. He was not a "loser" at all as he said, but he seemed to have come to show off his power.
"That's why undead creatures are worthy of admiration. They never care about face. Here is the government infrastructure project plan I compiled. Take a look."
System prompt: Do you accept the mission "Seruwega Infrastructure 1"?
A roll of paper-like booklet flew through the air and landed accurately in Qingyi's hand. The content was "Strengthening of road facilities in Seruvega". To put it bluntly, it meant inviting people to repair the road (Seruviga
The road is notoriously shabby (Qingyi has already learned this), not to mention hard and tiring, and the wages are still very low. Even the most picky werewolf will not take this job seriously! Use a common term
To put it bluntly, if a professional player makes gold at this speed, he will not be able to earn back a meal for three days in a row.
Why are wages so low? Because Seruwega has no money, or I don’t want to pay more.
Why do you dare to show me that your wages are so low? Because I have made it clear that I want to exploit you, and you have no other way to slowly save money besides working this job.
Qingyi's thoughts were spinning thousands of times, and he had already asked and answered himself perfectly in just a few seconds, so he just sighed lightly and did not ask any stupid questions. He knew that at the same time, Schroeder & bullbray was in Snow City.
Dealing with red-eyed businessmen and speculators one after another, Clavisor dealt with those second-rate men she looked down upon with full of grievance. In this case, he was not the one who was most troubled, and there was really nothing to complain about.
He thought about it and said, "It would be great if I had a negotiator."
"I understand that doing everything yourself is not the way a leader should manage." Gareth nodded.
The two of them have exhausted their conversation.
Qingyi put away the documents and said: "I will arrange manpower as soon as possible. By the way, there is a question that I have always been curious about. In a country like this, where did you get your wisdom?"
The wise Gareth was stunned and said with a smile: "I haven't thought about this problem either."
Qingyi thought that the other party was unhappy, and waved his hand: "I didn't mean to offend, I was just curious, why in a country with extremely poor culture and everyone is ignorant, a person like you with the title of "wisdom" appeared
.”
"Because I'm weak."
"Oh, that's it." Qingyi nodded, and then reacted: "What? Wisdom comes from weakness?"
"I don't know what your definition of wisdom is, and I don't think I am very smart. In my fifty years of life, I have been working hard to survive, but I am much weaker than others.
, you need to be smarter. If you are less courageous than others, learn how to use weapons; if you are shorter than others, figure out a fighting posture that maintains the center of gravity; if your arms are shorter than others, make a fuss about the attack distance of weapons; if you are stronger than others
When he was young, he studied more effective force-relieving techniques." Immersed in memories, Gareth looked at his ugly, calloused hands, as if he were looking at an old friend who had been away for a long time. There was actually something on his face.
A touch of gentleness: "A person's power is always limited, so he finds like-minded companions and becomes more courageous on the road; when he lives in a place that is too chaotic and insecure, he just straightens up the order; when he encounters all kinds of things,
If there are problems that cannot be solved by force, or if you run into obstacles everywhere, you have to find other ways.”
As he listened, Qingyi felt a vague sense of vicissitudes of life. This kind of vicissitudes of life had only appeared in Mrs. Green and Robert. It was not the vicissitudes of a hero's twilight years, but the vicissitudes of an ordinary person's old age.
Photo-like vicissitudes.
"Unknowingly, I changed from "Gareth the Slug" to "Gareth the Wise". To put it bluntly, it was just because I was too weak and had to work harder to get what others already had.
Perhaps, wisdom is equal to hard work. It has nothing to do with knowledge. I have read no more than three books in my life, and I haven't finished reading the "Mainland Lingua Enlightenment".
Everyone is extremely smart, huh?"
Gareth looked up and saw that Qingyi had left the palace.
"It's so interesting that even though it's an undead creature, it doesn't want to waste time. No, maybe it's only after you die once that you know how to cherish time."
Qingyi returned to the carriage, waited until he reached the safe zone, then logged off, exited the game, and casually browsed the forum. He had to fight for a very important restaurant tomorrow, so he had to rest early and recharge his batteries. Although the boss was from Sicily
Express's partner, but there seems to be a conflict between the two parties recently, giving Little Bee Express a chance.
Today's forum news is mostly about competitive competitions. Auditions for competitive competitions in various servers are in full swing, and all combat professional masters have signed up to participate. Although competitive competitions are a festival for combat professionals, they also highlight the importance of life professionals.
The values of the top life professional players of "China" and "Auxiliary Dynasty" have skyrocketed again, and Baobaobao's recent income is also very impressive. Some people have estimated that the top life professional players can earn 1.5 million US dollars this month.
Above, the more proficient players can earn 500,000, while the average players can earn around 10,000 to 20,000.
There is also an inconspicuous little news: the NPCs in the Mermaid City State (that is, the corner of the Reef Islands) suddenly became hostile to humans and frequently attacked passing ships, forcing Bigbow to suspend all flights. Therefore, the business of the trading company was greatly affected.
A big disruption, commodity prices rose sharply. This made Qingyi a little uneasy, because the Ghost Fleet and Big Bow had an agreement to ensure normal shipping. In this case, they would definitely have to "theory" with the mermaid. If Baitou
If Eagle starts a war at this time, the ghost fleet will probably not be able to take care of Qingyi's side.
Qingyi couldn't help but have a headache, because this time he had to face a strange bald eagle. This bald eagle would appear with new troops and new tactics, and there was no room for his carelessness.
----------------------------------
Seruvega, long and bumpy road.
The meeting with Gareth had ended, and the Dusk Empire convoy only stayed for one day before starting to return home. I don’t know how many pairs of eyes were secretly watching this convoy, waiting for June Sunshine’s next move.
"It's boring! I'm so bored that my balls hurt." In the carriage, Qingyi sighed with his hands on his pillow and his back.
The corner of the mouth of Chief Jonte, who was sitting opposite him, twitched and said: "Lord Hades, please pay attention to your appearance, because your Majesty never uses foul language."
"Oh my God, steward, please let me go riding. Where are the knights traveling in carriages?! If my balls can't touch the saddle, they will really hurt!"
It turns out that the one who is howling is not Qingyi, but the Hades with a cool face. The real Qingyi has come to the border of Seruvega alone, preparing to enter Big Bow. This is a classic golden cicada's escape technique, although it is old-fashioned
, but very practical.
Before coming, his subordinates had a quarrel about this.
"No, I can't delay it any longer. I have to rush to Fuli Villa now." After considering the current situation, Qingyi said to the main pipeline.
Manager Jont leaned over: "In that case, please take the ghost fleet to ensure your safety."
"But taking a boat takes too much time. I don't know what might happen during the process." Qingyi frowned.
"Use the teleportation array to shorten the time." Brian on the side suggested. "First teleport to Salamonro at the border of the Twilight Empire, then teleport from Salamonro to Big Bow, contact the blood elves, and take a boat.
Fuli Villa. This is the plan that takes the shortest time.”
"No! Your Majesty will be in danger!" Chief Jonte shouted sternly: "Everyone knows that your Majesty is not."
Brian refused to give in: "No, I think the most dangerous way is the safest way! It is in such a critical situation that others cannot expect that His Majesty will go deep into the human kingdom alone. Even if the other party is wary, I
I am also sure that Your Majesty will not be discovered."
Although his words were shocking, Qingyi thought about it carefully and agreed with his opinion, and immediately made the decision: "Okay, I will go there in the teleportation array!"
----------------------------------
Bigbowo, capital, royal palace.
The king picked up the bell and shook it. After a moment, his intelligence minister pushed the door open and entered as gently as a thief.
"June Sunshine has concluded its official visit to Seruwega?"
"Yes."
"All the undead creatures have gone to Fuli Villa, but there is no sunshine in June yet. He will definitely go. He might take advantage of this visit to cross the sea and cross my land in a big way, so I have to send people to guard him.
Teleportation points and various transportation thoroughfares." The king smiled confidently: "I almost took him lightly, but thinking that he is an adventurer, I had to make more preparations. Once I find him, I will kill him without mercy. Yes.
Let’s let Slurpee take charge of this matter, because they are the ones who are most familiar with the sunshine in June.”
"Yes." The Minister of Intelligence responded briefly and left the study quickly.
The king looked at the documents for a while and then stood up. He opened the window, and the cool but slightly tidal wind blew in, making his face feel cold. He could have gone to get the coat hanging on the back of the chair, but he didn't. He
Enjoy this just-right chill, just like a soldier enjoying pain.
Although it's not obvious yet, the vibrant spring is definitely coming.
