Chapter 1417: Do Something for the People of the World
"Six stars? I wonder if that disaster-level gunman is dead. I didn't hear any gunshots, so he probably isn't dead. If I kill that disaster-level gunman, I should have a chance to surpass six stars, right?" Zhou Wen thought to himself.
If any other human had taken first place, Zhou Wen might not have fought so hard, but when someone from the Holy Land took first place, that was something he could not tolerate in any way.
What Zhou Wen is worried about now is how to find that disaster-level gunman.
Killing him should not be difficult, the difficult part is how to find him. Zhou Wen tried many times and used all kinds of methods, but he couldn't find him.
"That disaster-level gunman may have an invisibility ability like an invisibility cloak, and it's an advanced version of the invisibility ability, otherwise he would not be able to escape the eyes and ears of Di Ting. Or maybe he has some kind of ability that can hide himself." Zhou Wen thought about it, but he couldn't think of a way to find the disaster-level gunman.
In the Federation, people were talking about Xiao's strong rise to the top. After all, it was the only six-star level, which rekindled people's curiosity and longing for the holy land.
"These people are really easy to incite. Yesterday they vowed to learn how to raise companion pets from you, but today they all want to join the Holy Land." Li Xuan came to Zhou Wen, sat on Zhou Wen's sofa, and said with glee.
An Sheng, who was standing by, said, "That's just how people are. It's easy to abandon things like beliefs, bottom lines, and morals that don't do any good."
"Brother Sheng, don't kill everyone on the boat with one blow. I am a person with morals and bottom line, unlike those ordinary people." Li Xuan immediately retorted.
"That's just because the benefits given to you are not big enough. If the benefits given to you are big enough, it would be hard to say." An Sheng said.
"Brother Sheng, you are doubting my character. No benefits can shake my moral bottom line." Li Xuan said righteously.
"Really? What if your second brother is seriously injured and is about to die, and at this time you are asked to kill someone who has some grudge against you but whose crime is definitely not punishable by death, so that your second brother can fully recover and not die, will you kill him?" An Sheng asked.
"This..." Li Xuan hesitated.
"For example, if your entire Li family falls into the hands of a murderer, and if you don't help him steal something, he will kill your entire family. Would you go and steal it?" An Sheng asked again.
"Brother Sheng, can you please stop cursing me? Can you please think of me a little more?" Li Xuan said depressedly.
"I may wish you well, but your enemies won't. For humans, beliefs and moral bottom lines are relative. So if you want to have a moral bottom line, you must do more than others expect and never allow yourself to fall below it. How does that saying go? If you want to be an honest official, you have to be more corrupt than corrupt officials." An Sheng paused and continued, "Of course, there are people who can uphold their beliefs and bottom line under any circumstances, but I think they are a very small minority. It's best for us ordinary people not to let ourselves fall to that level, and not to test the moral bottom line of others."
"That makes sense, Brother Sheng. Let me toast you." Li Xuan seemed to agree with An Sheng's words. He poured a glass of wine for An Sheng and clinked glasses with him.
"What exactly do you two want to do?" Zhou Wen looked at them and asked with a frown.
These two people have been sitting here with him for a long time, saying some suggestive words all the time, and no one knows what they are trying to do.
"Nothing, just a casual chat." Li Xuan smiled and continued, "Old Zhou, do you have any plans to regain the top spot?"
"You two have been talking here for so long, do you want me to try again?" Zhou Wen seemed to understand a little.
An Sheng sighed softly, "Humans are inherently selfish creatures. First there was the Guardian Alliance's Xian, and now there's the Holy Land's Xiao. If this continues, I'm afraid everyone will want to join the Holy Land's Contract Guardians. Who will still take those difficult paths? At this point, someone has to step up and lure them back."
"I don't have that ability, you guys go find someone else." Zhou Wen said, spreading his hands.
He really had no other choice. If he couldn't find the Scourge Gunner, the best he could do was get a five-star rank like last time. There was no way he could get a six-star rank.
"You can't do it, but the Human Emperor can." An Sheng said with a wink.
"Even the Human Emperor can't do it this time." The Immortal-Slaying Sword is indeed very powerful, but if we can't find a Calamity-level gunman, then no matter how powerful the Immortal-Slaying Sword is, it will be useless.
Zhou Wen suddenly looked Li Xuan up and down and said, "That's strange. Ah Sheng wants me to take first place, I understand. But why do you want me to take first place so much?"
"You are wrong. Who do you think I am? I am also a good person. I also want to do something for the people of the world." Li Xuan said stubbornly.
"No, this is not like you. Something must be happening here." Zhou Wen stared at Li Xuan, making Li Xuan a little nervous.
"Don't look at me like that, it's scary. I really want to do something good for the people of this world, but by the way, I want to make some pocket money." Li Xuan couldn't bear Zhou Wen's interrogation and still let out the secret.
"Pocket money? What does that mean?" Zhou Wen asked.
Seeing that he could no longer hide his feelings, Li Xuan said, "It's nothing, actually. Someone just started a gambling game about who would be the ultimate Rubik's Cube master. I placed a heavy bet on you, no, on the Human Emperor."
"Just for such a small amount of money, you want me to risk my life. Are you even a human being?" Zhou Wen cursed.
"This is not a small amount of money. After Xiao came out this time, the odds of other people have increased a lot, especially those who have not yet made the list. The Human Emperor is one of them. If the Human Emperor can take first place in the end, I will be able to get a large amount of resources. Note that it is resources, not money. What people pay out is resources. What you bet on is what you get." Li Xuan said.
"You dare to buy this kind of plate? Aren't you afraid that the other party will run away with the money?" Zhou Wen frowned.
"You can't escape. This is the plan of the God's Family." Li Xuan was very sure.
"You bought it too?" Zhou Wen looked at An Sheng.
"I bought a little bit." An Sheng said shyly.
"How much is a little bit?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Five hundred tons of Yuan Crystal." An Sheng replied.
"Is this just a little?" Zhou Wen was speechless. Five hundred tons of Yuan Crystals was probably the total amount of Yuan Crystals that Luoyang could produce now.
Although there is a Yuanjing mine in Butterfly Valley where Zhuangzi's tomb is located, the mine there is impossible to mine. No one can enter except at a specific time, so Yuanjing has not been obtained from there for the time being.
"I really can't win first place right now, you guys just wish me the best." Zhou Wen said.
"It doesn't matter if you can't do it, we have it." Li Xuan suddenly said this.
