Green light flashed, Cheng Peng and Yue Yi had returned to the starting point, Shen Qi's reception room...
Everyone has left, and the reception room is now empty.
Cheng Peng did not say goodbye in a hurry, but just found a chair and sat down, and asked curiously: "It was inconvenient to ask in front of the Immortal in the Pot just now - are you really so confident that you can defeat Xu Tu?"
"Of course! He doesn't have three heads and six arms. I control Qi, which is the most powerful among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, and he controls South Korea, which is at the bottom. I have no reason to lose to him."
"...I have always had some doubts. Did you really not detect that he was farming and climbing technology trees?"
"I detected that he was farming, but I didn't detect that he was making muskets and artillery." Yue Yi said with a wry smile, "I sent a large number of spies to South Korea. Although there were few successes, there was always something gained. Since then, I have sent a large number of spies to South Korea.
From the information I got, it seems that he is only carrying out agricultural reforms, medical and educational reforms. In the army, he is only strengthening queues, disciplinary training such as goose-stepping, and training spearmen to line up and assassinate... these are not considered to be honest.
What, a realistic strategy dungeon is not a historical time travel novel, it’s very unrealistic to try to defeat me just by relying on this method!”
"Didn't you notice that he was studying muskets and artillery?"
"I didn't find it, I didn't see any signs!" Yue Yi sighed deeply, "Compared with cold weapons, the biggest advantage of firearms is that they are easy to learn. As long as the intelligence is good, even people who don't understand anything can
, you can learn to shoot in formation in a few days of training - the only problem is discipline and formation ability."
"It turns out... Xu Tu has been using the method of training the pike team to cover up the fact that he is training platoon gunners?"
"Yes! This happens to be the conspiracy part that he is best at. I am indeed not as good as him in this aspect." Yue Yi smiled bitterly, "He completely concealed it! I did guess at the beginning whether he was making some kind of technology.
Weapons - after all, he is an artificer, one of the professions that is best at making weapons in the adventure. But after detailed investigation, it was found that there were no mysterious and magical factors in that copy, and there was no basis for the survival of artillery. He might
It is possible to manufacture some mechanical weapons, but it is absolutely impossible to achieve large-scale mass production, so I feel relieved..."
He said it in an understatement, but Cheng Peng could imagine how the two sides battled with each other during this period, and how much effort Xu Tu spent to successfully mislead Yue Yi, who was also famous for his intelligence... That is definitely not something that can be described in just a few words.
of.
"Although the process was a little unexpected, the result is quite satisfactory." Yue Yi did not delve into this topic and concluded with a smile, "We got the Heavenly Book and the Demon Refining Pot respectively, which are both big gains, quite a lot.
OK."
After saying that, he left the words "I'll sort out the harvest and contact you if I have anything else" and left - it was obvious that Yue Yi was still quite concerned about losing to Xu Tu after all.
Cheng Peng thought for a while and dialed Xu Tu's phone number again.
"Actually, it doesn't matter who wins or loses. Anyway, the Book of Heaven will eventually fall into our own hands." Xu Tu looked very relaxed and said with a smile, "I can win because of a lot of luck... If he is in the coalition army
After defeating Qin, I came to attack South Korea. I had not completed several key technologies at that time, but I really couldn’t stand it."
"Why weren't you worried about him hitting you in the first place?"
"He's not that kind of person." Xu Tu said with a smile, "Although I'm not very familiar with him, you once talked about him, saying that he was a person who tended to defeat his opponents in an upright way, and that he was special.
Respecting 'conspiracy'... But most of such people tend to 'brothers stare at the wall to avoid external humiliation', 'we must first settle down internally' and so on. This is an approach that they sneer at and look down upon. So before we kill those people
Before the npc, the possibility of him taking the initiative to attack me was not high."
"Just a 'possibility'?"
"It seems that you haven't understood the crux of the problem..." Xu Tu smiled happily, "Then let's make a hypothesis: Suppose you are Yue Yi, and you guess that I may be climbing the technology tree, and may send out powerful troops to crush me in the later stage.
Pressure, but if you come to fight me in the early stage, although you will definitely defeat me, it will probably result in losing to the NPC, and in the end everyone will be eliminated... What will you choose?"
"Of course, kill the NPC first! Even if I lose, at least one of us will win; but if in order to win, both of us are eliminated, what's the difference between being an idiot?"
"Yes! Birds of a feather flock together, and people form groups. People who are as famous as you and have such good friendships would normally choose this approach, because you are such people to begin with!" Xu Tu said unhurriedly, "For you,
For you, as long as the overall situation can be won, your losses are nothing. In your thinking circuit, you will never put your own interests more important than the overall situation - so even if Yue Yi discovers any signs, he will
I will still choose to defeat the NPC countries first, and then come to fight me decisively!"
"In this game, the players are one camp, and the NPCs are another. With the personalities of people like you and Yue Yi, you must first ensure the victory of your camp, and then fight for your own interests on this basis."
Xu Tu sighed slightly, "——A gentleman can be bullied, and I am talking about people like you!"
"So doesn't it mean that the outcome of this game has been decided from the beginning?" Cheng Peng thought for a moment and said in surprise, "With his character, he will definitely wait until the end to fight you, but at that point
By then your firearms unit has been formed, and he can’t defeat you at all..."
"There is still suspense. If I fail to climb the technology tree, then he will naturally win; if my wall-mountain strategy fails and is attacked by Qin, Zhao and other countries, and I only survive with his help, then I will naturally be embarrassed to continue.
Why fight with him? If he moves fast enough and sweeps the world before I develop a firearms force, I certainly won't be able to fight a decisive battle with him... Fortunately, none of this happened, so my victory is actually not a matter of luck.
Small."
Xu Tu, who won the competition, was in a good mood. He chatted with Cheng Peng on the phone about the process of the competition. He introduced in detail how he built a scientific research center integrating mining, smelting and manufacturing in a mining area deep in the mountains.
Base, and how they deceived Yue Yi under the guise of agricultural reform, and then how they came up with the idea of conducting discipline and queue training first... I talked a lot.
It was not until almost an hour later that his narration was interrupted by his wife in a very calm tone.
"We are almost arriving in Hokkaido. Please tidy up your appearance. Don't embarrass your daughter."
It was obvious that Chang Xi had great authority in this family. Xu Tu ended his eloquent narrative with just one sentence. He said goodbye to Cheng Peng with a smile, then turned off the phone and unfolded the translucent virtual mirror inside the flying car.
I sorted out my outfit accordingly.
"I'm still not used to suits and ties..." He looked at himself in a long-lost suit and tie in the mirror and couldn't help but sigh, "How many years ago was it last time I dressed like this...?"
"It was the first time you dated Miyako-senpai." Chang Xi said lightly.
Xu Tu looked embarrassed and asked after a while: "How do you know?"
"Because at that time, my senior sister was so excited that she couldn't sleep all night, and she spent two hours just choosing clothes to wear on the date." Chang Xi replied calmly, "As consultants, Xiao Ming and I were also harassed.
It was so amazing that the next day I was dragged to the sex again by Xiao Ming... I was so impressed."
"Wow! Dad, you also had your youthful years!" Xu Zi suddenly became curious and stared at Xu Tu who looked very embarrassed. "Mom, tell me in detail! Was dad clumsy back then?"
"Yes, he accidentally got sprayed in the face when he opened a soda - it was very hot at that time, and the way the syrup stuck to his body was really funny."
"I thought only Miyako and Amu knew about this..."
As the family chatted, the flying car had arrived at the predetermined coordinates and was floating over Wakkanai City in the northernmost part of Hokkaido, Japan.
"Wakunai...that boy lives in a really remote place!" Xu Tu didn't have a good impression of Ichijogaya Guixu, and still called him "that boy", "By the way, Chao Ming also lives in Hokkaido, right?
"
"Sapporo." Chang Xi naturally remembered her friend's address. "She has a company in Sapporo. It is a six-story building. The lower four floors are the company and the upper two floors are residences. That's where we found her last time."
"Then after we meet the other party's parents, let's tell her the good news?" Xu Tu said enthusiastically, "I remember she has been married for many years and has a son... Oh! If Xiaozi likes
What a wonderful son Chao Ming has! Then we will become a family!"
"It's too late to say this now." Chang Xi smiled rarely, "Unless I clone another Xiaozi."
"That's a good idea! It's like having twin daughters!"
"Hey! Don't discuss the issue of cloning with your biological daughters, okay?" Xu Zi, who was getting ready nervously, couldn't help shouting, "Two scientists discussing this kind of topic with such serious expressions makes me very dangerous.
Feeling it!"
Xu Tu and Chang Xi both laughed.
The speed car descended slowly and stopped at the entrance of a small cafe. The three of them were preparing to enter. They were dressed very formally. Even their hair was covered with hairspray. They were as neat as if they were going to shoot a movie. They were already in a hurry.
Come and open the door.
"Uncle! Auntie!" He greeted loudly, then looked at Xu Zi with a smile.
"You came very early..." Xu Tu said in a strange tone, "Did you sleep here with your sleeping bag on your back last night?"
"How could it be possible... This is my home..." Ichicheng Guixu smiled nervously, not as relaxed as usual, "Please come in! The cafe is closed today, so don't worry about being disturbed."
"Where's your father's house?" Chang Xi asked.
"She has arrived and is waiting for you..." Guixu's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped, looking at Xu Tu and Chang Xi suspiciously.
This couple, who usually looked like "Taishan collapsed in front but remained unchanged, and elk thrived on the left but couldn't blink", now all showed dumbfounded expressions, staring blankly at the equally dumbfounded man standing next to the seat in the center of the hall.
woman.
This woman was the only one in the entire cafe not wearing work clothes, so naturally she was Guixu's mother.
"What a coincidence!" Xu Zi's cheers echoed in the quiet shop, "Dad, you are so eloquent!" As she said this, she waved to the woman who also looked a little dazed.
