Chapter 84: One Year in the Blink of an Eye
Chapter 84: A Year in the Blink of an Eye (1)
You Chen had imagined the situation where Tang Hao showed up.
The best outcome is that he can use Tang Hao's power to help him solve the Spirit Hall's mission objectives.
However, he actually guessed that Tang Hao would most likely not risk being discovered by the Spirit Hall by appearing in front of him.
You can get a glimpse of this from the original work.
After Tang San enrolled in school and became Yu Xiaogang's apprentice, Tang Hao chose to leave without hesitation.
Then he hid in the dark, protecting Tang San while quietly recovering and improving his own strength.
During this period, even though his hatred was as deep as the sea, he still did not take any revenge against the Spirit Hall.
The purpose is to minimize the chances that the Spirit Hall will discover that Tang San has any connection with himself.
Taking action personally can only be the last resort. The best way to protect Tang San is to prevent him from being targeted by the Spirit Hall before he grows up.
Tang Hao is not smart, but it doesn’t take a very smart brain to figure this out.
So, no matter how great the temptation is, as long as it conflicts with this point, Tang Hao knows what to choose.
You Chen is not a god, and he cannot completely control Tang Hao's mentality like a God's perspective.
There are different interpretations of the same character in countless different fan fictions. In a certain fan fiction, the psychological control of Tang Hao is correct, which is different from the original novel, but it may not be the case in this time and space.
You Chen has always known that he is not a person who can plan everything for himself. He just takes each step carefully, trying to reduce the risk and increase the return at each step, and then connect these steps together as much as possible.
So You Chen just evaluated in his mind to reduce the probability that Tang Hao would choose to meet with him, and then returned to his own life.
Unlike the first time he stayed up all night and was vigilant, after several attempts from a distance, It was basically certain that Tang Hao would not suddenly rush out to kill. You Chen simply pretended that he didn't know about Tang Hao's existence and practiced as usual.
Otherwise, it would be too much of a strain mentally to be on guard against a Titled Douluo 24 hours a day.
If the ending is really death by deus ex machina, You Chen will accept it.
So... after everything was on track, time began to pass rapidly.
The plan of "training Tang San to be Xiao Wu's bootlicker" is going very smoothly.
With You Chen, the mastermind who was pulling the reins around both of their necks, Xiao Wu kept caring for the mentally retarded in her heart and maintained a relatively friendly classmate relationship with Tang San.
Tang San, on the other hand, fell deeper and deeper in love with Xiao Wu. Gradually, he could not take his eyes off her. After he realized that his relationship with her had made some progress, the attitude he revealed showed that he had clearly begun to consider himself as Xiao Wu's good friend.
On the other hand, You Chen certainly wouldn't be so kind as to allow Tang San to always maintain a positive competitive attitude towards You Xing.
Whenever Tang San's fighting spirit was about to reach its peak, You Chen would always arrange things so that Tang San could see You Xing and Xiao Wu "flirting".
That feeling... is as disgusting as mixing shit into chocolate.
At such times, Tang San would show strong hostility towards You Xing even though he knew he shouldn't, and would offer a mission to defeat him. In fact, You Chen had the idea of experimenting when Tang San and his disciples broke into his house.
The several tests that followed also basically proved some of Youchen's ideas...
Regarding the task objects of system tasks, You Chen gradually introduced the concept of "power of destiny".
Simply put, the more important and detailed a character is in the original work, the higher the power of destiny he or she will have.
If the author is the creator god, then the protagonist is the son of destiny for the world.
The Son of Fortune possesses the highest level of destiny power, and the destiny power of those important figures is not low either.
When You Chen fights against them, he may not only be fighting against them themselves, but also their luck.
The stronger the power of destiny, the lower the threshold for triggering a task. Simply put, situations that can only be considered a conflict will only be transformed into a task if the "bottom line mechanism" is triggered.
However, characters with high destiny may directly trigger the task when encountering such a situation.
For example, You Chen bumped into Mu Feng and Tang San at the same time, and both of them felt dissatisfied and hostile. If this negative emotion is numerically expressed, it is probably only 1~2 points. Tang San is likely to directly trigger the task, but the former will not trigger the task even if the value is multiplied tenfold.
In addition to the lower threshold for triggering tasks, the task rewards will also be higher compared to the task difficulty and requirements.
If the strength and status of the task object are the "basic values of the task reward", then destiny and task difficulty are similar, and both are conditions for "reward amount bonus".
Tang San, the protagonist of the original novel, is naturally one of the people with the highest destiny in the world. He can make tasks that originally only get Soul Master-level rewards directly reach at least Soul Master level, and there may also be some rare rewards such as "Soul Ring Year Card".
For objects with high destiny, there is also a "first big explosion" mechanism.
For example, the "Adaptive Soul Bone" that Yu Xiaogang exploded and the "Divine Elephant Prison Power" that Tang San exploded.
Their first mission will ignore their existing strength and status, and directly give rewards of corresponding levels according to the strength of their destiny.
As the son of the world, Tang San is definitely in the first echelon with the strongest destiny force. There are few people in the whole world whose destiny force can compare with his. The "Divine Elephant Prison Power" dropped in the first mission has the potential to directly reach the peak of the world's power system by just practicing it.
Yu Xiaogang is an important character throughout the entire text of Douluo Dalu. Even if his destiny force is not in the second tier after Tang San, it is at least in the forefront of the third tier. The "adaptive soul bone" he exploded is the top-level training resource in the world's soul master training system, which is enough to enable ordinary people to change their destiny.
Such a generous reward made You Chen mentally prepared to get at least one task from an important character in the original work.
It doesn’t matter even if this person doesn’t want all the tasks later on, at least you have to get the first piece of wool!
In fact, You Chen also wondered whether he was a character created by a certain author.
But even if the truth is like this, what does it matter? Is he, You Chen, going to worry about such a meaningless thing! ?
The case of Douluo is right here. The God of Creation, who seems to control the fate of all characters, may have created this world by chance, and he himself is just an ordinary person.
Not to mention the authors who would write fan fiction in which they regard themselves as the protagonist!
Who knows, maybe he is just a fat otaku who has no food to eat and can only eat instant noodles every day!
It seems that he can turn Xiao Wu, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue and other beauties in the original novel into sows by waving his fingers, but in fact, he himself can't even touch these beauties with a finger, so he is the one who lives a life like a pig! ?
In comparison, I, who have extraordinary powers, can change beauties like clothes, and can even look forward to my ambitions, are definitely the winners in life that the author envies! ?
