12. Trade-offs

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Two thanks to Gaotang!"

"Couple greetings!"

"Send him to the bridal chamber!"[bsp; Although Cheng Peng was wondering why Liu Yi, who was living alone at home, suddenly appeared two white-haired and smiling "high halls", although Qiantang Jun was almost completely lying down under the weight of the phantom of the mountain.

It looked funny to be unable to move a finger on the chair, but anyway, it was over.

When Liu Yi and Long Nu, both dressed in red, walked into the bridal chamber hand in hand, the whole world stopped completely, like a movie frozen in time.

In this stillness, the only ones who can still speak and move are the five players participating in the dungeon.

Having already experienced many dungeons, they naturally knew what was going on, and they did not feel surprised or scared. They just received the mission rewards, and then shook hands and said goodbye with a smile.

Compared with the false closeness, habitual cuteness, suspicion, or wariness when they first met, when they broke up, the four players' attitudes towards Cheng Peng had undergone fundamental changes.

Without exception, they all regretted that they could not follow Cheng Peng on adventures all the time. More than one person suggested that Cheng Peng establish a guild by himself, and then they would definitely convince their friends to join - a person like Cheng Peng was born to be a guild leader.

When others follow him, he is like the scheming heroes in those historical novels, constantly accumulating fame and popularity, until when the opportunity comes, those who respond will gather and start a fight with great vigor...

The problem is that Cheng Peng really didn't think about it that way.

His own family knows his own affairs, and Cheng Peng himself knows best how capable "Cheng Peng" is. He believes that he does have certain talents and can unite others, but he can handle the affairs of various organizations, especially

As a difficult and difficult problem such as "finding balance", he himself does not believe it!

Although a guild may not be that big, these internal problems are actually politics, and politics cannot be solved by reading a lot of books and being proficient in history.

Cheng Peng didn't know if he was an armchair strategist like the legendary Zhao Kuo, but he knew very well that at the very least, he didn't have the ability to talk and laugh and strategize with troops, and he didn't have the talent to hold a white feather fan in his hand and hold millions of soldiers in his chest.

It has been proven in battle after battle that he is suitable to be a fierce general, an aggressive general, and a flying general. He is suitable to rush into battle alone and lead troops into battle, but is definitely not to command large armies and coordinate operations.

Political issues in the army are relatively easy. If you can't even control an army, how can you talk about establishing a guild?

Of course, Cheng Peng can also establish a guild and leave everything to reliable friends - such as Xu Tu and Shen Qi - and continue to be the lone ranger and the best in the world. But... the guild's

Management is actually only part of the problem, and it is a relatively inconspicuous part.

Cheng Peng now has a good relationship with many guilds. These guilds are large and small, with various forces and positions. Many of them are hostile, such as the Knights of the Round Table and the Illuminati.

They are both independent. But he can get along well with everyone. Even if there are some conflicts, they can be resolved. The reason for this is indeed worthy of further investigation.

Cheng Peng's own strength is actually only a relatively unimportant part of the reason. Who among the big guilds has not cultivated a group of core masters! For example, the Illuminati, Cheng Peng alone has seen more than a dozen five-star mid-level masters.

, although Cheng Peng is confident that he can beat any of them, but if three or five of those people come out to join forces, he will definitely have to retreat; let alone the Big Gun Guild, one of the core masters Shi Tianpeng even once gave guidance.

They can be regarded as half of his teachers, and Liu Yefei and Bi Yong are not inferior to Shi Tianpeng in terms of strength, and are still above the Illuminati in terms of elite level.

The big guilds with so much powerful fighting power generally don't need Cheng Peng's force. But they are still very close to Cheng Peng. Why?

The key to the problem is that Cheng Peng himself does not pose any threat to them.

No matter how powerful, prestige, or famous a lone ranger is, he is still a lone ranger. He will not transform into a boss with countless subordinates. No matter how lucky he is or how powerful he is, he is still a lone ranger.

, the resources it can possess are nothing to mention for a large guild.

Perhaps Cheng Peng did have a lot of treasures that were very precious even to the big guilds, and learned extremely rare skills, but after all, he only had one person. Even the legendary Scoia'tael Party, who has a collecting habit, how many resources can he occupy?

And for those big guilds, the most important thing is not the top resources - top-quality equipment, high-level skills... these things are the icing on the cake for them. It is good to have them, but they can live without them.

What does it really affect? ​​What they care about most is the kind of high-end goods that are one level lower than Cheng Peng's needs.

For Cheng Peng himself, he basically doesn't like those equipment and skills, but for a guild, such things are the most important, and they are the core that can slowly accumulate the strength of the entire union!

If Cheng Peng establishes a guild himself, he will inevitably have a demand for those resources. Although this will not necessarily lead to conflicts with other large guilds, as his guild develops, it will be a matter of time before they become estranged from each other - Chu Fengge's

When Bai Zhiyi was weak, he was attached to Jin Yu and the Knights of the Round Table. At that time, the Knights of the Round Table took great care of Bai Zhiyi, and Chu Fengge himself was very grateful. But as Bai Zhiyi developed,

The friendship with the Knights of the Round Table has gradually become estranged. Even though Chu Fengge and the old members still cherish this friendship and work hard to maintain its existence, this friendship is still in the hands of some big and small people.

The small friction gradually faded away...

Cheng Peng doesn't like this situation, not at all!

Be a winner, be a leader, keep moving forward, keep reaching the top, and then defeat your enemies or former friends step by step, and finally stand alone on the top of the mountains, with only a few companions around you...

What’s so good about this kind of life?

More importantly, what Cheng Peng pursues has never been power and status.

The Great Wall is still there today, but the Emperor Qin Shihuang was nowhere to be seen. The glory, wealth, money and power are nothing but passing clouds. Life is like grass and autumn, and the only thing that can be left behind and immortal is the famous name.

For people, it is a matter of course that the president of a large guild is highly capable. What everyone remembers is probably how huge his organization is and how powerful his team is - and he himself seems to have become a subordinate.

The quality is average.

For example, the First Emperor of Qin, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty—when people mention them, the first thing they think of is not Yingzheng, Liu Che, or Li Shimin. They think of the three dynasties of Qin, Han, and Tang Dynasties, and they think of conquering the six countries and unifying the world.

The army is a hero who drove the Xiongnu from the north and sealed the wolf in Xu. He is a talented man whose poems are beautiful and charming through the ages...

These are still successful, and there are countless heroes who fell on the road to the top. How many people remember the founders of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms? How many people can remember the heroes who once dominated the turbulent times in the past?

Cheng Peng wants to be remembered by everyone, wants to be remembered by people of this era, and even wants to be remembered by history. So he will not take the road that is as rugged and bumpy as the road in Huashan, but will take another road.

the way.

Walking with him on the road are the young heroes who bravely conquered the three armies by riding horses over the Huns; the virtuous monks who traveled thousands of miles to promote culture; the white-haired old man who worried about the world and advocated for the common people... This road

It's not easy to walk, but no matter what, it's always much more practical than the previous path.

Let’s look at the heroes recorded in the Twenty-Four Histories. How many of them followed the former path, and how many followed the latter path?

Therefore, Cheng Peng would rather be a lone ranger forever, a lone hero loved and admired by everyone!
