There are only five days left before the decisive battle with Nangong (in the virtual world), so I plan to stay in the Taiyi world to receive the old man's "special training". The day after the press conference, the crow Yoshitsune came to visit in a hurry
My old man and I brought a large jar of good wine.
"Yoshitsune, why haven't I seen you recently?" After drinking for three rounds, the old man asked.
"Oh! There is a very important case. In order to assassinate a human being, I worked for a whole month."
"What kind of person can make us, Yoshitsune, waste a month?"
While tearing a leg of lamb, Yoshitsune replied: "Well...it's the head of the Royal Knights of the Human Kingdom...he *** (the second aunt changed the curse word before she could say it)! Who is this leg of lamb?"
Baked eggs are so unpalatable!" As Yoshitsune said this, he slammed the lamb leg to the ground.
"It's...it's me..." Seeing Yoshitsune's fierce look, I was so frightened that I couldn't even speak.
"Oh? Brother Tongba made it himself. Haha, brother, I'm really flattered. But it's really unpalatable... Now, let me teach you how to grill the meat." Yoshitsune stopped being angry after hearing that I made it.
Then he flew out quickly, and after ten minutes he came back with a porcupine (a huge white-haired porcupine). Then he peeled off the hair and skin, and started to teach me step by step how to barbecue. The old man squatted next to him with great interest and learned.
Completely forgot that I needed special training.
An hour later, the special barbecue training finally ended.
"It tastes delicious!" After the old man and I took a bite, we couldn't help but exclaimed in unison. Yoshitsune was so proud that he even laughed out of his eyes.
"By the way, I heard what the old man said about how you made a big fuss at the venue. It was very exciting. It's a pity that I'm not here, otherwise I would have to rush up and beat that old boy Zhu Yan all over the ground."
"Do you know Zhu Yan?"
"Do you know me? There are only a hundred or so hero-level mercenaries in the world, not to mention that he and I were qualified as heroes at the same time in the Dark Mercenary Guild in the same year."
The old man also smiled slightly, and then added: "In the mercenary guild, as long as you become a hero, you will be given a new name by the biological computer Emperor Chaos. The name is often the name of the ancient demon, deputy god or hero.
(Entering the hero list will give you the name of the main god.) The principle of naming is randomly determined according to the characteristics of the person who is named. "The Book of Mountains and Seas·The Second Classic of the West" tells that Zhu Yan has a white head and bare feet, and his shape is like an ape.
He is a soldier at first sight; despite his gentle appearance, he is actually a crazy militant. It is not entirely your fault that you were fooled by him this time."
"By the way, do you know that girl with purple sleeves?" After a moment, Crow Yoshitsune suddenly asked in a confused manner.
"So? But how do you know her name is Zixiu?" When I said this, I really felt a little dumbfounded. In fact, the relationship between me and Zixiu is just like the relationship between diners and food.
.
"On weekdays, you just wear purple sleeves when you have nothing to do. The one in purple sleeves keeps talking, and his ears are calloused. Just now I heard the old man describe the girl's appearance... Hehe... By the way, is she a hunter?"
"Yes, and he is a very powerful hunter."
"Great!" Upon hearing this, Yoshitsune suddenly burst into excitement.
"What's wrong with him?" I asked the old man.
"I have fallen in love with the girl with purple sleeves." The old man replied casually while chewing the pig's feet with relish.
Could it be that this crow "ye" (pay attention to this word) fell in love with Miss Zixiu, and I couldn't help but become alert: "What plans does Brother Yoshitsune have for Miss Zixiu?"
"Of course there is a plan."
After listening to his straightforward answer, I have decided to fight Yoshitsune to the end. Even though his kung fu is dozens of levels higher than mine, I am not afraid at all. Maybe he noticed that I was staring at him with a scary look,
Yoshitsune asked me in surprise: "Don't you know the new rules of the tournament?"
"What?"
"It's the rules of the team competition."
"What's the problem?"
"You also know that we hero-level mercenaries can enter the palace without taking the test. In addition, the top three warriors of darkness and light can also enter the palace without taking the test. But everyone else must pass the qualifying rounds. In short, you can enter in every competition.
The total number of top-level mercenaries in the Sky Arena is limited to less than a thousand. In other words, 99% of the 100,000 mercenaries in the world must be eliminated."
"This is an old rule, and I know about it. Although the qualifiers have implemented relatively complete protection measures, there are always two to three thousand people who die accidentally in the qualifiers every year, and countless others are injured. And
After entering the finals, you can kill at will. The survival rate in the finals is only about 10%. It is precisely because of such cruel experience that mercenaries have become the strongest fighting profession in the world. If magicians of the same level meet in the wilderness, then
It is a common sense question that the one who wins must be the one who is qualified as a mercenary. At the same time, the excitement and cruelty of the competition also make the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament a world-class competitive event as famous as the Olympic Games in today's world.
Whenever a martial arts tournament is held every twenty-four years (about half a year in the real world), the whole world will have a week off (plus weekends), allowing everyone to enter the virtual world to watch this earth-shattering large-scale martial arts event.
At least more than two billion people out of one billion will watch the whole event, and other people will also learn about the event through various channels. Life-sustaining fluid (drugs that can last for ten days, so that those fascinated viewers do not have to get up) will be seriously injured in these days.
Out of stock."
Crow Yoshitsune heard what I said and nodded: "Brother, you are absolutely right. Moreover, the competition allows mercenaries of all levels to participate, and the eliminations in the preliminaries are all between mercenaries of the same level.
The competition will be conducted, and then a corresponding proportion of the number of people will be selected from each level. In the past, the competition also set up a separate top-three title for each level of mercenaries, and the judging criteria were also different. Of course, hero-level mercenaries were not allowed
The top three places alone are because the overall champion, runner-up and third runner-up of each competition are basically taken by hero-level mercenaries. Only a freak appeared in the last competition - Bu Jiyuan. Although this kid rushed all the way
, annihilated hundreds of people one after another in the competition, and was finally promoted to level 40, but in terms of level alone, he was just a mid-level warrior! So for the first time in the competition, a warrior-level champion was produced, which made the whole world
The world was shocked. But this kid was too unscrupulous. After taking the championship bonus and the special power of the reward, he walked away and left the whole world there. He just left. Before he left, this kid also
Let me throw out a sentence: Levels are bullshit! This makes all the guild masters who pay attention to the level system feel very embarrassed. As a result, this competition has been completely revised...".
When I heard Yoshitsune say this, I couldn't help but snicker. That's not to pretend to be cool. It's because I get embarrassed when there are many people. I was just shy and ran away... (Of course, I didn't want to let anyone go.
One of the reasons was that I had to show my face.) As for that sentence, it was because those people’s guild bosses kept saying that I deliberately hid my rank in order to become famous, and they asked me to conduct a comprehensive inspection, which made me extremely annoyed, so I responded.
One word from them.
"Let's not talk about it forever, let's talk about the new rules!" I said, because to me, there is probably no other person in the world who knows him better than me, and all speculations about him are nonsense to me.
.
"In order to avoid the emergence of some warrior championships, or even hunter championships, or mercenary championships, the guild stipulates that all contestants must form a team of four."
"Does each group have to have one mercenary, one hunter, one warrior and one hero each?"
"Yes, in this way the honor will belong to the group, not to an individual. So passing the preliminaries does not mean that you have obtained the qualifications. You must find your companions to officially qualify. In this way, the choice of companions will be
It's very important. Bro, have you heard the story of three monks? If the companions cannot work together, then four people may not be as strong as one person, but if they work together tacitly, then sometimes a mercenary can even be a warrior.
Even the role of a hero.”
"Haha...I think this is a very good rule! The power of the collective can sometimes turn decay into magic. At least I think if Copper can find a group that cooperates with it tacitly, it will definitely be able to produce a force that is ten times stronger than what it is now.
strength."
"Old man, it's not that exaggerated?" I pouted and shook my head.
The old man didn't answer me, but raised his head and said to himself: "Maybe it will explode with a hundred times the power?"
After Yoshitsune drank the large bowl of wine in his hand, he patted me on the back happily and said, "Brother! In fact, when I first met you, I was thinking about how much courage it takes to make someone
Why would a person choose to be a slime monster with the lowest status and power? And this slime monster actually wants to become a mercenary who relies on fighting to survive? He actually wants to enter the finals of the world's best martial arts tournament. Isn't the crow rich in money?
I'm not a good person, I'm just curious about what level you can reach."
I really couldn't laugh or cry when I heard this. Oh! Brother, please don't look at me like this. Did I voluntarily become a slime? Obviously not. Did I voluntarily want to be a mercenary? Obviously not. So these upright words are useless.
Not suitable for me...
"By the way, at this point, you should know why I fell in love with the girl with purple sleeves? Strength comes second, but the most important thing is that I think I like her temper very much. If she can agree to join and successfully enter the palace, then in our team
All that's left is a warrior."
"But you don't have anyone at the mercenary level in your team?"
"Aren't you?"
"I'm not even a mercenary."
"As long as you pass the preliminaries, you will be directly qualified as a mercenary!" At this point, Yoshitsune seemed to have remembered something important. He took a breath of cold air, then lowered his head and asked me: "This time
What are your chances of winning the battle with Hou Yi?"
I didn't answer immediately, but stretched out my tentacle and took a sip of strong drink. Then I looked up at Yoshitsune, who was full of ardent expectations. I wanted to say that I didn't have much chance of winning, but thinking about his selfless help to me during this period, I thought again.
I was embarrassed to disappoint him, so I had to answer with a blush: "About 20%..." As soon as I said it, I noticed a trace of obvious displeasure on Yoshitsune's face.
"Kid, it seems you don't know enough about your true strength." The old man suddenly interrupted me. Yoshitsune probably felt that I underestimated myself, so he turned his head to the old man, wanting to hear what he had to say.
After the old man burped, he said calmly: "Actually, you only have a 10% chance of winning. Hahahaha..."
The old man smiled happily, but Yoshitsune and I were both stunned. Yoshitsune must have been hit, and I was afraid that after being hit, Yoshitsune would ask me, the culprit, for an explanation. Because now I have
Yoshitsune has become my first best friend in the virtual world, and I am very afraid that I will lose him...
Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, the old man threw away the pig's feet and the wine glass in his hands, then stretched out a pair of greasy, dirty hands and patted our shoulders affectionately, laughing loudly: "Hahaha... two little fools"
, a 10% chance of winning is also a chance of winning! This proves that we can win! A level 4 slime fights against a level 50 number one warrior. This in itself is such a heroic feat! He can sweep the world at level 20 without any hesitation.
Hero, can’t our copper coins defeat the number one warrior at level four?”
"But don't you think this 10% chance of winning is too small, senior?" Yoshitsune still looked disappointed.
The old man's expression suddenly became rare and serious: "To be honest, this 10% chance of winning is already hard-won. Do you know how many sleepless nights and how many coins I and I have gone through this year for this mere 10% chance of winning?
Difficulty and repetition? It can be said that this is the limit of what we can achieve through unremitting efforts. Challenging Hou Yi can be said to be an accident, and we were indeed forced to a dead end."
At this point, the old man suddenly stood up and his tone became very strong: "But in life, it is inevitable to be forced into desperate situations of one kind or another. But when faced with desperate situations, the weak see the 90% despair; while the strong see the despair.
What the reader sees is the 10% chance of winning! Do you know? Not all problems in this world can be solved with calm wisdom. If the problems we face are really to the point that no wisdom can solve them, we can only use our last
The weapon, use it..." As he spoke, the old man suddenly stretched out his withered right hand and clenched his fist tightly...
"Beat it to pieces!" With a loud shout, an almost invincible fighting spirit stirred up the air around me. Then that tiny arm violently smashed the Eight Immortals table in front of us to pieces. This is
It was the first time I saw this old man, whose strength even my Fuxi chip couldn't detect, use his own power.
Seeing that both Yoshitsune and I were staring at him dumbfounded, the old man's expression returned to his former kindness and kindness: "You know? This is the last weapon we can use when facing a desperate situation, and that is fearless courage!
"
Hearing this, Yoshitsune finally breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "The highest title on the hero list is the King of Braves. In the past, Crow thought that he could get it as long as he could reach the realm of invincibility. But today, it seems that Crow was completely wrong.
.The King of Braves should actually be someone who never flinches when faced with a real desperate situation. Only by experiencing the baptism of countless desperate situations can one be qualified to become the King of Braves!"
I also suddenly realized that the sudden change a year ago was God trying to tell me the true meaning of the word "brave", a silly boy who longed to be a "brave king"? At this time, I suddenly remembered Mr. Lu Xun's words: "
A true warrior dares to face the bleak life and the dripping blood." This battle with Nangong is far different from the "bleak life" and "dripping blood". Defeating Nangong Guiyu is just
This is just the smallest step I have taken on the road to becoming a brave man. And my road to becoming the King of Brave People will be a long, arduous road that runs through fantasy and reality!
