Chapter 135 Plot Analysis Two Story Lines

"Granny Li is lying!" I said firmly.

Hearing what I want to become an immortal said, Xiao Jie was a little surprised. It was not that he was surprised that Granny Li was lying, that was obvious, there were too many loopholes in the story.

What's surprising is that he can even tell that I want to become an immortal. It seems like this guy is not completely stupid yet.
"Oh, why do you say that?"

"Isn't it obvious? First of all, these mermaids are so weak after they came ashore. There is no reason for them to kill so many people. An old woman was able to survive all these years. There were so many fishermen in the village fifteen years ago. How could they be harmed by a group of mermaids who become useless after coming ashore?"

"Any more?"

"That carp, carp is a freshwater fish. Why would Li He go to the sea to catch a golden carp? And since Li He never came back, how did Granny Li know that he caught nothing after three days and three nights of fishing?"

"continue."

Encouraged, I continued to talk, "Moreover, there is a fatal loophole in Granny Li's story. She never mentioned herself from beginning to end. So how did she know all this? There is absolutely no explanation. So there is only one truth to the matter - she lied!"

Clap—clap—clap! Xiao Jie clapped a few times at the microphone.

"Isn't that a good analysis?"

"Hehe, it's just so-so."

"Don't show off. Why didn't I see you have such sharp thinking when I met the River God this morning?" Xiao Jie was speechless when this matter was mentioned. When will this kid be able to correct this bad habit?

"Isn't that just a momentary impulse? That's an orange weapon. What if it's true..."

Xiao Jie said unhappily, "It won't come true. Have you ever thought about what will happen if you really take the orange axe?"

"Um...will I end up like the woodcutter's friend in the story, getting nothing?"

“I’m afraid it won’t be that simple. Adventure missions often involve opportunities accompanied by risks. If you really take them, you might be in for a risk. There are many such stories in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, where monsters and demons use gold, silver, treasures, beauties and other things to lure victims. Once the victims fall for them, they will die.

I always feel that this river god is a little weird. If she is really a demon or something like that, maybe a fight will be triggered as soon as you ask for the orange axe."

"Ah! Not really." My voice that wanted to become an immortal was not so confident anymore.

"The probability is not 100%, but even if it's 50% or 30%, are you willing to take the risk? Don't forget that this is a death game."

"Ah, I didn't expect that..." I said embarrassedly.

Xiao Jie did not continue to attack him, but sighed: "In fact, it is not surprising that you have such a reaction. The reason is very simple. You have not experienced the beatings of society, so you still have unrealistic fantasies about many things.

If you get beaten up enough times, you'll naturally get used to it. Just like me, I 100% don't believe that there is such a thing as an orange axe."

"Brother Feng, what you said sounds very touching. You are right. I do have some fantasies. I know it is illogical, but I can't help but want to believe it. What's going on?"

"Have you ever touched fire?"

"I have."

"Why did you touch it? Didn't you know that the fire would burn you before you touched it?"

"Uh..." I was silent for a moment as I wanted to become an immortal.

“The reason is very simple, because only when you have touched fire and been burned by it, can you understand the danger of fire and understand that fire cannot be touched.

As long as you have never been burned, the danger of fire is an uncertain thing for you. Even if you know the danger of fire, but you don’t have an intuitive feeling, you will be tempted to touch it, and finally get burned, and then you will learn your lesson. "

"Just like only after being beaten by society will you understand that pie in the sky is unrealistic."

I want to become an immortal. Suddenly I realized, "So I have to be beaten severely before I can get rid of this bad habit?"

"That's right. The only problem is that the beatings in this game could kill you. If you get beaten up in society, at most you'll lose your job, but if you get beaten up in this game, you could lose your life."

"I understand, Brother Feng. I will definitely pay attention this time!"

Wo Yu Cheng Xian's voice was very serious. Xiao Jie was not sure how much the other party could pay attention and how long he could pay attention. However, for such things, he could only remind him. Whether he could do it or not depended on Wo Yu Cheng Xian himself.

"Well, your life is your own anyway, so light it up - let's continue with Granny Li's story.

Your reasoning just now was good, but you still missed a few points. First of all, Granny Li should not be from the fishing village. She said that she had been trapped here for more than ten years, which shows that she must have settled here after Li Bao was born.

Second, and most importantly, why didn't Granny Li leave the fishing village? She knew that the mermaids were coming to capture her grandson, but she stayed in the fishing village with Li Bao, which was obviously contrary to common sense. So she must have a reason for not being able to leave, and this reason is probably Li Bao. Did you notice that Li Bao had to drink a big bucket of water from time to time? Even if he ate too much salted fish, it wouldn't be so exaggerated.

There must be something wrong with him, maybe some kind of curse that prevents him from leaving the water source, so they stay in the village..."

Xiao Jie was analyzing my desire to become an immortal, but in fact he was also analyzing it for himself.

"Also, regarding the story of Yu Niang, although Granny Li definitely lied, some of it should be true, such as the origin of Yu Niang. She appeared on the beach inexplicably and could not speak. After getting married, she doubled the fish catch of the fisherman Li He. So she must have some kind of magical power. Combining these factors, who do you think I thought of?"

"The Little Mermaid?" This time, I was unusually sharp.

"Okay, you can guess that?"

"I just watched a new movie the other day."

Xiao Jie thought to himself, "No wonder, "Yes, it's the Little Mermaid. There are similar stories about the snail girl repaying a favor in ancient Chinese legends. Maybe this beauty is a sea monster, or a dragon girl. Because Li He saved her, she turned into a beauty to repay her gratitude.

So Li Bao is actually a hybrid of a human and a goblin - yes, that would explain why he is so dehydrated."

The more Xiao Jie analyzed, the more some hidden details in the story were gradually revealed. Although everything was just speculation, he felt that it was almost correct.

"But there's one thing I still can't understand. If Yu Niang is a spirit, then it shouldn't be possible for her to die in childbirth, right?"

I want to become an immortal and wondered, "Why can't spirits and monsters have difficult births?"

"Whether it was a monster or a dragon girl, their physical fitness was far superior to that of humans. How could they die so easily just by giving birth? There must be some hidden reason behind her death.

The purpose of the river god guiding us here is probably to reveal what happened fifteen years ago and to tell the truth at the critical moment three days later. This is what she means by "honesty".

So our current adventure should eventually have two different endings.

Ending 1: We failed to discover the truth, or did not tell the truth, but just helped Granny Li protect her grandson, and were finally rewarded with a mysterious orb and some money. This should be the table ending.

Ending 2: We investigated and discovered the truth, and revealed it at a critical moment three days later. We told the truth honestly, and this truth may cause us to lose the task reward given by Granny Li. This is the purpose of the Golden Axe and Silver Axe test. The River God wants to ensure that we will not lie for a little benefit.

As long as we do this, the river god should give us a better reward. This is the true ending."

When Xiao Jie said this, I was stunned. I didn't expect that Brother Feng could analyze the various possible endings for the mission. This was too outrageous.

Is this the strength of a professional player?
However, this kind of analysis made him very excited. In this way, he would be able to get benefits in the end no matter what. It was just a matter of more or less.

"A better reward than the mysterious orb, is there really an orange axe?"

"Hahaha, what are you thinking? But at least you can give me a purple outfit."

To be honest, Xiao Jie was also a little looking forward to it. What if in the end the orange axe, purple axe, and iron axe were really given to me as Yu Chengxian?

But the experience gained from countless real-life beatings told him that this was completely impossible.

I Want to Become an Immortal said with regret: "Purple equipment would be fine too - it's a pity that everyone in the village is gone, otherwise I could get some information from the villagers."

Xiao Jie smiled slightly, "It's true that everyone is dead, but there may be clues. Go to the lake and watch. If the mermaid appears, call me and I will go investigate first."

"Okay, then I'll go to the river." When I heard that the perfect reward might include purple equipment, I immediately became motivated to become an immortal.

"Don't go near the lake!" Xiao Jie couldn't help but warn me when he saw me rushing to become an immortal.

"Understand, understand. Don't play with fire, okay? I know."

Seeing me running to the lake as if I were about to become an immortal, Xiao Jie shook his head helplessly. He was really worried about me.

While the new wave of mermaids had not yet come ashore, he began his own investigation.

Now that we have analyzed two plot developments, we naturally have to choose the one with the highest reward.

Since no one is trying to get information from me, I can probably ask the animals, Xiao Jie thought to himself, I can't do that, we can't just leave every last person in this small fishing village.

"Carrot, go see if there are any animals around. Come back and tell me if you find any." Xiao Jie ordered Carrot who was standing beside him. This useless guy could not be relied on at all when fighting monsters, so he would definitely come in handy in this investigation mission.

The carrot snorted, responded, and turned around and walked away slowly. Xiao Jie also investigated the dilapidated thatched houses around him.
