Chapter 185 The Grand Narrative of Dragon Traveling the World
Xiao Jie said with emotion: "It is all thanks to my elder brother who taught me the peerless swordsmanship."
"Haha, you have helped me so much, so what's the big deal if I teach you a set of swordsmanship? It's because you are honest. If it were any other human being, they would have used some nonsense to frame me, but they would have enjoyed the gift of the immortal.
We are brothers, so don't ever mention the word "thank you" again."
Xiao Jie felt ashamed after hearing this. But he laughed and said, "That's right, I won't be polite to you in the future."
Xiao Jie looked at the time as he spoke. It was just past noon, only 12:. The two duels combined did not even take half an hour.
"Brother, I am going to leave this place and continue to exorcise demons, practice martial arts, and improve my strength. Do you have any plans? Do you want to come with me?"
Yuan Bai shook his head and said, "No, no, I don't want to go. I am too old to experience anything. If you want to go, go ahead. I think this big city is pretty good. It's not easy to come to this world, so you should experience what it's like to be a human being. Have you finished your business? Kill those two enemies, and I don't think anyone will bother you anymore."
Xiao Jie couldn't help feeling a little regretful after hearing this. During the duel just now, he felt particularly at ease when he thought of the white ape patrolling nearby. Even though it was a duel of life and death, he still felt an inexplicable sense of confidence when fighting.
How great it would be if I could always have a level 46 strong friend by my side to protect me.
However, he also knew that the white ape could not follow him forever. It had only agreed to help him deal with the danger of the Tianxiahui. Now that the matter was settled, it was naturally impossible for it to continue following him.
Of course, if he kept begging and saying that he was still in danger and needed someone to protect him, the white ape might still follow him for a while, but that would probably hurt the relationship between them.
And it probably won’t last long.
Besides, he couldn't do such a thing.
"In that case, brother, we can only say goodbye now."
"Brother, don't be in a hurry to leave. How about we go for a drink first? It can be regarded as a farewell drink for you. I think the restaurant we had yesterday was pretty good - the food tasted so good, wow." Yuan Bai said with a look of aftertaste on his face.
Xiao Jie thought that you were just greedy, but in this situation, he was reluctant to part like this. After all, they had known each other and had been through a lot.
"Then come on, we brothers won't go home until we are drunk today."
The two men arrived at the restaurant. Xiao Jie looked at his backpack and found that he still had more than ten taels of silver left, so he could afford to eat.
Before the waiter came over to greet him, Xiao Jie opened his backpack and took out the two pieces of trophy.
The first thing that was opened was the one dropped by Yunxiaoke. With double-clicking the mouse, the package disappeared and turned into a stone seal.
[System prompt: You have obtained the item 'Spirit Stone Talisman'. ]
Huh? It turned out to be this thing... Xiao Jie was a little speechless, he thought it was some kind of equipment.
But it doesn't matter. This thing is worth at least one or two million. I didn't dare to go down into the tomb cave easily before, so this thing was completely useless. Now I have mastered the peerless magic skill - the key is that I have the Phantom Invisibility Skill, so I am not afraid of being trapped underground. I can try to explore in the future.
This thing is actually useful.
Next came Xiongba’s spoils, which was a purple package. Xiao Jie was looking forward to this thing very much, thinking that this time he must give me something good.
Double-click the mouse, a white light flashes, the package disappears, and turns into a black robe.
【Black Robe with Black Gold Dragon Pattern (Robe/Epic)
Weight 8.
Defense +24.
Equipment Effect 1: Dark Gold Armor. It prevents critical hits from being triggered when your body is attacked.
Equipment Effect 2: Dragon Mark True Meaning. Increases your Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Endurance by +2.
Item Description: A gorgeous black robe with a dragon-shaped pattern sewn with black gold thread, which has a hidden secret and can provide additional protection for vital parts of the body. It is said that the dragon is the symbol of the king, and the black gold dragon pattern is exquisite and has a hint of the true meaning of the dragon shape, so it can comprehensively improve the attributes of the wearer. 】
What a good thing!
Xiao Jie's eyes lit up as he watched.
A piece of cloth armor can increase the body defense by 24, which is quite good, not to mention that the special effects of these two equipments are quite practical, all basic attributes +2, and immunity to critical hits, wow, these are special effects that can directly improve strength.
More importantly, this outfit is so handsome.
It just so happened that he was in need of some nice clothes, and he was still wearing white leather armor.
Xiao Jie changed his clothes directly, wearing a black robe with dragon pattern, holding two swords, and wearing a Shura ghost mask. He had an inexplicably fierce and brutal temperament.
Xiao Jie was in a good mood after obtaining top-quality equipment.
"Waiter, please bring us any delicious food or wine you have."
"Haha, my second brother is really generous."
Soon the food and wine were served, and the two began to eat and drink to their heart's content, discussing their future plans while eating.
"I plan to stay in this big city for a while, enjoy the prosperity of the world, and see the various aspects of the world. Where are you going, brother?"
"I plan to go back to Luoyang Town to continue leveling up - well, that means to hone my martial arts, and to exorcise demons. I heard that there are wolf demons and bandits causing trouble in Luoyang Town. In the past, my martial arts skills were too low to eliminate them, but now that my swordsmanship has improved, this is a good opportunity to show off my skills.
By the way, brother, what should I do if I want to find you in the future? "
"You can find me here in a short time. As for what happens next, we will meet again if we are destined to do so."
As the two were chatting, Yuan Bai's ears suddenly moved and he snorted, "Brother, I'm drunk. I'm going to sleep for a while. You can do whatever you want."
After saying that, he fell asleep on the table, snoring, and a line of zzz symbols appeared above his head.
Xiao Jie couldn't help but be stunned, thinking what was going on, when did this old monkey have such a bad alcohol tolerance?
But then he heard a horse neighing coming from the street. The neighing was long and high, as if with an echo, and as deep as a dragon's roar. Xiao Jie immediately had a guess in his mind. Sure enough, a moment later, he heard a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and saw a man wearing black armor striding up. Who else could it be but Long Xing Tian Xia.
"Ah, Brother Suifeng hasn't left yet. That's just right. I have something to tell you - you run fast. I was so busy dealing with the aftermath..."
Xiao Jie laughed in his heart, he didn't expect that the title would be different after killing two people.
He was the younger brother before, but now he has become the older brother Suifeng. It turns out that showing one's strength is the best way to gain respect.
As Long Xingtianxia was speaking, he suddenly saw Yuan Bai lying on the table and was immediately startled.
Level 46 hermit master...Long Xingtianxia had always been very concerned about recruiting Yin Yue Suifeng, and now he became even more cautious.
This kid is really extraordinary.
"President Long, do you want to talk to me about something?" Xiao Jie pretended to be surprised, but he already had a vague guess about his purpose in his heart.
"Of course I have something to say - let's talk somewhere else so as not to disturb this - senior."
There are not many people that Long Xingtianxia can call "senior".
The two moved to a table next to them, and Long Xingtianxia got straight to the point, "I don't like those beating around the bush, so I'll just say it straight. I hope Brother Suifeng will join our Dragon Soaring Knights."
These words stunned Xiao Jie. He had guessed that this would happen, but he didn't expect the other party to be so direct.
"Well... I'm used to being lazy. Besides, I'm just a level 15 trumpet. President Long..."
Seeing Xiao Jie trying to shirk his responsibility, Long Xing Tianxia interrupted him and said, "I know what you're thinking, brother. Individual players like you don't like restrictions, so you must be naturally disgusted with a large guild like ours, especially since our guild is always engaged in formalism, such as establishing order and harmonious games. You must think that we are just selling dog meat under the guise of sheep, and we are just creating some bad names to enhance the strength of the guild.
I understand, I understand, but before you reject me, please listen to my reasons first."
"Uh, how can that be possible... I actually admire your guild."
"Haha, no need to be polite to me. I would think the same if I were you. After all, no one likes to be controlled by others. Being restricted by the law in real life is fine, but having to face this in the game is something no one would be happy about.
But brother, have you ever thought about why there are laws in reality? "
Xiao Jie thought for a moment and said, "Because people need it?"
"That's right. People need laws to protect their safety. It's the same in the game, except that there are no strong law enforcement agencies to enforce the law, which makes it a lawless place. Do you know how many people have died in this game in the past year?"
"How many?"
"Thirty thousand!"
Xiao Jie thought to himself, is this true? The server capacity of this game is only about 10,000 people.
But if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible. Back then, the man in black windbreaker from the Game Player Administration said that the annual mortality rate reached 80% or 90%...
Anyway, there are a lot of people. By this calculation, it is not difficult to have 20,000 or 30,000 people die.
"How do you know so clearly?"
"I can only say that I have a special source of information - how many dead people have you seen in the past few days?"
Xiao Jie recalled that there were quite a few, probably dozens of them in total.
"This is the result of having no order, only chaos. Everyone fights for their own interests, just like the chaotic times of the Warring States Period. Why is Qin Shi Huang revered as the greatest emperor of all time? It is because he unified China, ended the endless chaos and infighting, and united the power of the entire China.
What I want to do is actually the same as what Qin Shihuang did, which is to end the current chaotic situation in the game and establish a unified game order.
Only in this way can game players restore peaceful coexistence and stop internal friction.
Only in this way can we gather the power of players and explore the true depth of this game.
To achieve this, there must be a leader, a creator of order. In fact, I don't like to deal with all this nonsense. The profession I chose is a military general, a third-level cavalry general. This profession is indeed very powerful in the game, but it is useless in reality.
With this much energy and resources, why don't I play a magic system? It would be so cool to develop magical powers.
Why do you think I did this? It's to build a harmonious game. Only a commanding profession like the Cavalry General can maximize the power of the army in a national war."
Xiao Jie was slightly stunned and thought to himself that this was indeed the case. At least if he had so many resources, he would definitely take the legal route.
From this perspective, Long Xing Tian Xia made huge sacrifices in order to establish a harmonious order.
However, ever since he read the Humanity Chapter of the Nameless Taoist Scripture, he has gained some deeper insights into human nature. People always use more beautiful and high-end things to package their true intentions.
Who knows if Long Xing Tian Xia has other purposes?
Some words can be believed but not all.
Xiao Jie pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question, "I heard that President Long has an official background, is it true?"
"Well, I can't admit it, nor will I deny it, but I do have some special relationships.
The reason why I chose to take this path is also related to the relationships behind me. "Long Xingtianxia said it rather obscurely, but the explicit and implicit hints were already very obvious.
“I will not hide it from you. My goal is to slay the dragon, found a nation, unify the nine provinces, and establish an order system that covers the entire game. Then all players can adventure in the game safely and securely without being bullied by people like the Tianxiahui or being treated unfairly.
Moreover, by then we can also organize players to act in groups, or even organize large-scale player armies to sweep the monster's lair copies. In this way, players can gain upgrades while maintaining the greatest degree of safety. Isn't that great?
In this kind of guerrilla style gameplay, most players can only bully some small monsters, and they can't even level up safely. It's totally inefficient. I think you should have some experience with this."
"I know this kind of future sounds boring and uninteresting. It's not as satisfying as settling scores, like Xia Yi Wushuang. In fact, Xia Yi Wushuang is a good guy, and I know this very well. That's why I had people drive him away before.
However, the chivalrous behavior cannot bring true harmony to the game. He can punish evil for his friends today, but tomorrow someone kills a good person in the same name? How do you know whether he kills a good person or a bad person?
There will be nothing we can do at that time, as anyone can kill people in the name of this. So I admire people who are chivalrous, but what they did is definitely wrong, and I can only drive him out of my sphere of influence.
This kind of person is bound to be a disruptor of order, I hope you can understand this.
If left unchecked, the game environment will eventually evolve into the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak."
However, Xiao Jie had to admit that Long Xingtianxia's words made some sense.
As a veteran gamer, he has been exposed to a wide range of gaming environments, especially those where studios are rampant, which often end up becoming so-called cesspools, with everyone competing with each other to see who has the lowest moral standards.
"I understand, but why me? Why are you telling me this? I'm just a level 15 trumpet."
"Haha, brother, don't underestimate yourself. Levels can be raised, experience can be gained, but personal strength cannot be measured by these external things. Brother, you definitely have the potential to become a truly strong person. Most people are destined to go with the flow. Those who truly create history are destined to be only a few, and you are one of them.
I have seen many players of this game. Tianxiahui bullied so many people, why didn't anyone stand up? Everyone is just thinking about their own interests.
If you can avoid it, then avoid it. If you can't avoid it, then find a big guild to join. No one wants to go against the Tianxiahui. After all, there is no benefit in going against them and it will only cause trouble for nothing.
You, my brother Suifeng, are the only one who dares to stand up and fight against the Tianxiahui.
And I can see that you are a ruthless person, brother. You will kill when necessary. You have been aiming to kill people since the fight. You killed the core figures of Tianxiahui and directly broke Tianxiahui apart. Most people can't do this.
In the future, I will slay dragons, build a nation, and conquer the world. I will face various challenges. A hero needs three helpers, and I cannot do without a few reliable brothers under my command.
Moreover, this person must understand when to take ruthless action and cannot be soft-hearted. To unify the Nine Provinces, there will inevitably be a war, and hundreds of people will die. Ordinary people may be afraid, feel guilty, and retreat when the time comes. But I can see that you are definitely not that kind of person. For the sake of a truly harmonious world and true peace, you will definitely do what you should do and know that some sacrifices are necessary.
This is the reason why the saying "to use thunderbolt means to show the heart of a bodhisattva" is so true.
Xiao Jie was surprised when he heard this. This Long Xing Tian Xia had great ambitions.
Moreover, he is not sure whether he is a ruthless person or not. Long Xingtianxia is definitely a ruthless person. It seems that he is willing to sacrifice thousands of people to achieve his goal.
The picture he described alone makes people feel excited.
National war, thousands of players and NPCs fighting each other, it was exciting just to imagine. If this was an ordinary game, he would definitely join in without hesitation and work together to accomplish the goal of unifying Kyushu.
But this is a death game after all, and his goal is to gain power and revenge - to become an immortal or a god.
Although it is not completely in conflict with the struggle for world domination, it is not very compatible with it either.
Long Xing Tianxia seemed to have guessed his thoughts, "I know that doing this will consume a lot of energy and time, but you have to know that Jiutu is an online game, and there is strength in numbers. With the support of the guild, whether it is leveling up, exploring new maps or fighting bosses, it will be twice the result with half the effort.
The current fragmented situation of this game actually leads to very limited development and utilization of game content.
If we can truly achieve our goal and unify the world, and then gather the power of all the players in the game, what can't we do? Even if we become immortals or gods, we may still have a chance.
Maybe by then we can all work together to develop in-depth gameplay for the game, so that everyone can become an immortal and the whole nation can ascend to heaven."
After hearing this, Xiao Jie was shocked by Long Xingtian's idea, even though he was a man with a wild imagination. Wow, this guy is really bold...
He didn't refuse immediately, "I need to think about it."
"Ha, it's okay. We in the Dragon Knights believe in like-minded people and we won't force anyone. Of course, it would be even better if you could join. I'm looking forward to it. As long as you're willing to join, you'll immediately be promoted to branch president. And our guild has very good benefits. We definitely won't mistreat you. Think about it carefully, brother."
Watching Long Xingtianxia leave, Xiao Jie fell into deep thought.
"Haha, you don't really want to join a second-rate guild." A slightly sarcastic voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
Xiao Jie was stunned. When he looked up, he saw that there was another person in front of him, a Taoist priest in a gray robe.
The Divine Calculation Demon (Immortal Magician): Level 36, HP 820.
Xiao Jie was shocked. Level 36! Damn, where did this expert come from?
But he was not too nervous because his elder brother was sleeping next to him.
"What do you mean, Your Excellency?"
“That Long Xing Tian Xia was pretty good at gaming, but unfortunately his mind was too narrow, he only thought about the trivial matters of the mortal world, and ultimately fell behind.
This game involves gods, demons and monsters. Even if secular power is established, it is nothing more than a castle on the beach. It can restrain some ordinary mortals but is meaningless to the truly strong. Only a very few people can comprehend the true secret of this game - and you now have such an opportunity.
Let me introduce myself, I am a member of the Pantheon - God of Calculation and Demon, hello Yin Yue Sui Feng. "
