Chapter 483 What identity would you choose? The sand at the bottom of the river

"In a calm lake, there are three things like this."

"They are 'solid reefs', 'towering willows' and 'sand at the bottom of the river'."

"A flood is about to sweep across this peaceful lake. If you were asked to choose between these three things, what would you choose to resist this raging flood?"

Dong'er looked at Wu Zhong and said slowly.

Hearing this, Wu Zhong was silent for a long time and began to think.

"I would choose a solid reef because the reef's roots are built on the river bottom and have a strong foundation. In addition, the reef itself is strong enough to withstand the erosion of floods."

Wu Zhong gave what he thought was the most reasonable answer.

After hearing this answer, Dong'er seemed to be thinking about something and did not rush to speak.

At this time, Wu Zhong asked back: "If it were you, Dong'er, which identity would you choose?"

After saying this, Dong'er raised her head and said slowly: "I would choose the third option - the sediment at the bottom of the river."

Hearing this, Wu Zhong raised his eyebrows and looked puzzled.

Because the sand at the bottom of the river is small and rootless, it is left to be washed away by the flood.

"Why?" Wu Zhong asked.

"The towering willow tree has its roots firmly planted in the soil, its roots tangled and intertwined."

"But they are also very vulnerable in front of raging floods, which will wash away the soil and expose the roots, or they will be uprooted by the floods and become drifting wood, drifting with the current."

"Fortunately, it was not washed away by the flood. Otherwise, its most important rhizome would have been exposed to the naked air and would have been crumbling."

Having said this, Dong'er paused, and Wu Zhong nodded in agreement.

"A solid reef, with its riverbed as its foundation, is above the water surface. It has a solid foundation and is solid in itself, and is not afraid of being washed away by floods."

"But when the flood recedes, it will carry away a large amount of river water, causing the water level to drop. Most of the solid reefs will be exposed above the water surface, which will be very conspicuous and become a target of public criticism."

"The greatest charm of the reef is that what is exposed above the water is only the tip of the iceberg. Its true depth and true body are hidden under the water, and no one can see it clearly."

“But after the flood, the reef will become a rocky mountain, with most of its body exposed above the water, losing its mystery and heritage.”

"Because of the forcible resistance to floods, the reefs will also be riddled with holes."

Hearing this, Wu Zhong's eyes widened and his expression changed subtly.

“But the sand at the bottom of the river, although it is tiny, it always stays at the bottom of the river. No matter how turbulent your flood is, it can only wash me away, not destroy me.”

"When the flood recedes, it will still sink to the bottom of the river and will not be affected in any way."

After listening, Wu Zhong asked: "But even so, river sand is still river sand. Although it has withstood the flood and has not been damaged, it is still very small, just a grain of river sand."

Of course he understood the metaphor contained in Dong'er's words.

The flood is the great melee in the divine realm, a battle for the overall situation.

"Who said it's just a grain of river sand?" Dong'er said slowly.

"The river sand I'm talking about is the thousands and thousands of grains of river sand at the bottom of the river."

“When we are scattered, we are like river sand, settling at the bottom of the river. When we are gathered together, we are like rocks, towering above the water.”

After hearing these words, Wu Zhong took a deep breath.

At this moment, he truly felt the absolute gap in thinking between him and Dong'er!

It's Dong'er's.

When a flood comes, it turns into thousands of grains of sand at the bottom of the river and settles at the bottom of the river, so it will not be affected by the flood.

After the flood recedes, the river sand will gather together to form a reef or a rock mountain, which is extremely solid.

Wu Zhong’s deployment plan positioned the Mutian Alliance as the “willow tree”.

That is to say, entering as a "mid-level competitor" to grab resources. To be more precise, entering as a "mid-level god" to grab resources.

Although the strength of the Mutian Alliance itself has greatly exceeded the level of the lower divine realm, it cannot reach the level of the "middle divine realm" and is in an awkward position of being neither up nor down.

Entering the game with this identity will lead to two kinds of results.

The first is to be uprooted by the flood and become a rootless drifting wood, drifting with the current. Even if it does not disappear, it has already lost its foundation.

The second possibility is that the country barely resists the flood, but its "roots" in the soil have been exposed, its foundation has been exposed, and its weaknesses have been revealed, and it will be in a shaky and very dangerous situation.

In Wu Zhong's understanding, Dong'er's idea should be to enter the market as an "inferior competitor", not to fight or compete openly, but to settle down secretly and preserve her strength.

After calming down, it seemed that it should have been like this, and he was just too eager for success and wanted development too much.

"Dong'er, if we don't fight for it, will we miss this opportunity?"

Wu Zhong continued to ask.

"Who said we don't fight or compete?"

"The flood washed away the reef, leaving it riddled with holes, and the 'parts' that fell off sank to the bottom of the river and turned into grains of river sand."

"The flood washed away the soil under the roots of the willow trees, and the fallen soil sank to the bottom of the river and turned into grains of river sand."

"What we need to do is to make the 'new river sand' that falls down a part of us, grow stronger, and wait for the flood to recede, so that we can gather together to form a larger reef."

After hearing this, Wu Zhong was stunned. His brain buzzed and he finally understood Dong'er's final thoughts.

Dong'er's idea is to not participate in the resource fight openly, but to snatch the dropped resources secretly.

To put it in an analogy, in this battle for resources, everyone is fighting for those important resources and important large worlds, but those forgotten, looked down upon resources, or small worlds will be ignored.

To put it bluntly, what the Mutian Alliance has to do is to "pick up garbage" and pick up some "leftovers".

"I see."

"I didn't have a clear understanding of our alliance's position before, and I was too impulsive. Fortunately, I came to ask you first, otherwise I would have almost made a big mistake."

"Now that I think about it carefully, picking up some 'leftovers' and keeping a low profile to preserve our strength is the best solution."

Wu Zhong said with a smile.

Hearing this, Dong'er shook her head and said slowly, "Brother Wu, what we picked up are not leftovers, but delicious dishes that have been overlooked."

After hearing this answer, Wu Zhong's eyes lit up and he asked, "Why do you say that?"

The words fell.

Dong'er slowly took out a fist-sized "memory crystal" from her sleeve and handed it to Wu Zhong.

"You'll know when you see it."

Wu Zhong took the memory crystal and checked the information inside, then his eyes widened.

He suddenly raised his head, his tone full of disbelief: "Dong'er, how did you find out?!"
