From a more utilitarian point of view, 99.9% of people come to this world to make up the numbers, and only the remaining 0.1% can create history and promote the development of the world.
The same is true for countries. For example, there is a classic saying: "It is not the United Nations that has given the five good people the power to manage the world, but the five good people have given the United Nations the right to hold meetings."
It is no exaggeration to say that, except for England and France, the two masters who are already in decline, any of the remaining three good men can defeat other countries in the world, and they all have the ability to destroy the world.
Therefore, except for the five good people and some economically developed countries, it is difficult for the remaining countries to appear in mainstream media around the world, especially those small countries with unimportant geographical locations and few resources, so Liu Xing knows very well
I remember when I was watching a certain video, there was a comment saying that these countries and their citizens have been almost forgotten.
Therefore, Liu Xing very much suspected that some small countries were already controlled by the secret church, but because their international influence was so low, no one knew about the changes in these countries, or in other words, no one cared.
For example, the Kingdom of Earthsea mentioned before, if it hadn't been located in America's back garden, America wouldn't have posted a notice about it.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask kp Broken Bridge, "kp, by the way, there should be more than one country like Universe Kingdom in the world, right?"
"Oh, why do you ask this question? But I can tell you the answer - yes, of course there is more than one, but the change of dynasties in some countries is more hidden, and some countries even change the king's flag on the city wall every two days.
, for example, if you want to dominate a small African country and become king, you only need to spend more than 200,000 US dollars to hire a group of mercenaries to help." kp Duanqiao said with a smile.
Sure enough.
Although Liu Xing does not know where exactly the small African country that can complete a round of change is with more than 200,000 US dollars, Liu Xing has heard of many strange small countries usurping the throne, and many of them usurped the throne.
They all started with double-digit subordinates.
This is outrageous.
"By the way, speaking of those small countries, I can also kindly provide you with a piece of news, Liu Xing, that is, if you enter these countries, corresponding tasks will also be triggered, and the task goal is basically to solve the problem of those who control this country.
Secret Church." kp Duanqiao said with a smile: "So do you think these missions are exciting enough?"
"Exciting? I think it's better to go and die. How can a dozen of me defeat thousands of people on the opposite side? And it's at their home court." Liu Xing couldn't help complaining.
kp Duanqiao smiled again and continued: "Then what if I tell you that as long as you complete this module, all members of your team can escape from the Cthulhu Running Team game lobby unscathed?"
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said with some surprise: "Huh? Is the game so big? I have to say that the players who have the ability to complete this module have probably gathered together and left the Cthulhu group game.
Points in the lobby, right? So this task is a piece of cake for them."
"Then what if there is an additional reward, that is, you and your cherished relatives and friends can work in the Cthulhu Run Game Hall? And this is said to be a job, but in fact it is just to hold some idle positions, and you don't usually have to go there
Those who work, just need to enjoy life at home. You can visit any beautiful scenery in person, and eat any delicious food until you vomit. Of course, if you are a single dog, you can also have a harem of three thousand beauties, and theoretically
You are already immortal."
Hearing the words of kp Broken Bridge, Liu Xing had to admit that he was already moved. After all, as long as he completed the module one more time, he could achieve the achievement of "resting with the country" like the Cthulhu Runner game hall.
Of course, Liu Xing also knows that it’s better to think about this kind of thing by yourself, because in essence, it is to change a country. Is there a dozen people who can do this? What’s more, there is a hidden person behind this country.
A secret church whose strength is unknown.
But you still have to have dreams. Liu Xing feels that if he can win over the Sawada family and the Shimazu family, and then bring out the people who worship the Yellow Clothes Sect, and then add the assistance of mythical creatures such as Matsui Yui, maybe it will happen.
You can take down a small country among small countries like Nauru.
"Brother Ryusei, let's go over and help now. I think the people next to us are looking at us a little unfriendly." Fujiwarayama said in a low voice.
Only then did Liu Xing notice that everyone at the scene had already stepped forward to rescue the wounded, but he was the only four players who were a bit out of place.
As a result, Liu Xing and the other two hurriedly ran over and began to pull away the broken bricks and tiles.
Soon, everyone buried under the rubble was rescued, and it seemed that they all had only superficial injuries.
"Fortunately, ours is only a three-story building, so as long as it's not hit on the head, it should be fine."
Itoga drank water and said: "But I'm afraid we have to go camping tonight. I just hope it doesn't rain."
"I think it may rain at any time on a small island close to the sea like Tanegashima. After all, there is enough water vapor." Ichiro Kudo shook his head and said.
The result was that Cao Cao Cao Cao was about to arrive, and a light rain suddenly came just as he was told.
"Now we're in trouble."
For such a small school, the teaching building is the only building, so the only place that can take shelter from the rain is the guard room, but a place like the guard room can accommodate five people, which is considered good.
"Let's go to the supermarket!"
Fujiwara Sho said: "Tonight, everyone will go to the supermarket to deal with the situation overnight. Let's go back to our homes after dawn tomorrow. Then I will go to the pier again to see if there is any new news."
As soon as Fujiwara Sho finished speaking, Kudo Ichiro couldn't help but said: "Our mission description mentioned that the supermarket is a very special place, but it did not clearly state the pros and cons of going to the supermarket, so we made sure that there were no people in the supermarket.
After staying behind, the three of us decided not to go to the supermarket to join in the fun."
Liu Xing frowned, and then said: "Supermarket, it is really better not to go there casually, because it is easy to hide people in the employee lounge and storage room of the supermarket, and more importantly, the terrain of the supermarket is a bit complicated. If
It would be difficult to escape if discovered by the enemy."
But having said that, Liu Xing and others can only go to the supermarket honestly, because it is not a problem to be outside in the rain in the dark, not to mention there are so many people emboldening themselves.
What surprised Liu Xing was that the supermarket was quite large.
"The owner of this supermarket is a lonely old man. His children died one after another due to accidents more than ten years ago, so he used all his savings to open this supermarket. The purpose is to let the neighbors enjoy more
With high-quality service, you can buy more kinds of things; and the prices in this supermarket are also very close to the people, and they are basically sold at cost price, so residents nearby will basically come to this supermarket to buy things."
Ichiro Kudo introduced Liu Xing: "According to the memory of my character card, students from Tanegashima Middle School can work in the supermarket if they have time. The salary is good and includes food and drink, so Ito and his character cards all come here.
I have worked in a supermarket, but the strange thing is that the owner of this supermarket will not let us enter the storage room, so he is basically responsible for putting the goods on the shelves."
Hearing this, Liu Xing said subconsciously: "It seems that there is indeed a problem with this supermarket, but the problem should be locked in that storage room. If we don't open it, there will be no problem; other than that
In addition, there is one more thing I want to remind you, that is, you need to abandon the concept of character cards, because you are you."
Kudo Ichiro and the other three nodded in agreement.
After entering the supermarket, Liu Xing and the other four consciously chose a corner away from the storage room and sat down, while an old man greeted everyone as if he had gone home to eat whatever they wanted and use whatever they wanted.
, all of which don’t cost money.
Obviously, this old man is the supermarket owner mentioned by Ichiro Kudo.
Liu Xing looked at the old man and found that his face seemed a bit familiar, but for a moment he couldn't tell who he looked like.
At this time, the heavy rain outside the supermarket was getting heavier and heavier.
But now that Liu Xing came to his senses, he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the rain, because Tanegashima had been separated from the outside world at this time, so the rain outside should not fall on Tanegashima, right?
So where does this rain come from?
Liu Xing looked at the heavy rain outside the window and found nothing strange.
Am I overthinking it?
Liu Xing shook his head and decided not to pay attention to these things, because he had to seize the time to rest now, so as not to get distracted on the way to the space center tomorrow.
But when Liu Xing closed his eyes, the supermarket owner's face appeared in his eyes, and then matched the face of another person in Liu Xing's mind.
Nao Raku Ii!
That’s right, it’s Naoraku Ii!
Liu Xing quickly opened his eyes and looked at the supermarket owner, and found that if he changed his hairstyle and beard, and then turned on a beauty filter to remove age spots, then this was Ii Naole!
But Liu Xing can be sure that Naoraku Ii is still selling fish in Kagoshima City, so is this supermarket owner the twin brother of Naoraku Ii?
That's impossible. If Ii Naoraku had a twin brother, then he would definitely know about it. After all, this information is easy to find.
What's more, as a loyal supporter of the Tokugawa Shogunate, the Ii family is still ranked first in the family to this day. Therefore, unless its family members are an alternative existence like Ii Naoraku, it is impossible for them to appear alone on Tanegashima.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing quickly asked Kudo Ichiro, "By the way, what is the name of this supermarket owner? I think he looks like someone I know."
"Well, I really don't know his name, because usually everyone calls him Edo Dad. The reason is that he is from Tokyo and his behavior is a bit old-fashioned, so people around him call him Edo Dad. Over time,
Young people of our generation only know his nickname." Kudo Ichiro said seriously: "So Brother Ryusei, do you want me to ask him his name?"
Liu Xing shook his head and said: "It's not necessary yet, because it's not an important thing."
Liu Xing said this, but he was even more curious in his heart whether this "Edo daddy" was Ii Naoraku, because the Ii family has moved their ancestral home to Tokyo a long time ago, and a family like the Ii family has existed for hundreds of years.
, also often use some ancient place names and ancient sayings to show their "historical heritage", so it would be reasonable for Ii Naoraku to call himself Edo Dad.
Of course, it remains to be studied whether this supermarket owner is Ii Naoraku. After all, it is not impossible for two unrelated people to look exactly the same. It is just that the probability is relatively low. In addition, the skin becomes loose as people age.
, will cover some facial information, and the two people next to them will look more similar... This is like two 10mb high-definition pictures. You can easily see the difference in details between them, but when these two
When the resolution of the pictures changes to confidential quality, you will see two "identical" pictures.
As for why Liu Xing did not ask Ichiro Kudo to ask the name of the supermarket owner, the main reason was to avoid alerting the enemy, because if the supermarket owner was really Ii Naoraku, then Kagoshima's Ii Naoraku would sleep with him again
?
"By the way, Brother Ryusei, I just thought about it carefully and thought of some past events about Father Edo, that is, his children never came back after leaving Tanegashima for decades, and they usually only visit New Years.
During the holidays, there would be some exchange of letters. When someone asked him if his children were unfilial, he said that his children all had difficulties. Then it seemed that Father Edo had four children, but they all died in car accidents and gas accidents in the same year.
, died in accidents such as earthquakes, so some people think that his family’s feng shui is not good, and his ancestors do not protect future generations... Of course, some people suspect that his children did not die in accidents, and Father Edo is not an ordinary person.”
Ichiro Kudo looked at Liu Xing and continued: "Since Brother Ryusei seems to know him, I think Father Edo is not an ordinary person, right? Perhaps the reason why our module introduction mentions the supermarket is a special one
Place, the reason is that this Edo father is extraordinary."
Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "Yes, I think so now, but I don't want to continue the investigation now, because there may be a very powerful force behind this Edo father.
