Chapter 79: The fortune of both benefits and dangers
Chiyou dispatched his clone to the street full of zombies again, leaving behind a part of his will to control the clone to kill zombies and upgrade, while the main consciousness and attention returned to the original body.
Chiyou walked out of the room.
There were three people standing in the corridor, huddled together, talking about something.
Seeing Chiyou coming out, the three of them immediately greeted him respectfully.
"Mr. Chi, is there anything I can help you with? If so, just tell us."
The world ruled by the laws of the Dark Jungle is a complete disaster for many people, but for the strong, it is as great as it can be.
After the zombies have torn off the cloak of social order and benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, as long as you are strong enough, you can enjoy enough respect no matter where you go.
Because in this world, everyone knows that if you insult a strong person, the other person will really dare to draw his sword and chop you.
Modern society is still subject to legal restrictions, so even if there is a dark side, it is always hidden beneath the surface.
This results in the class division between the strong and the weak after the end of the world being more absolute and thorough than before the end of the world.
"It's nothing, just continue with your work and don't worry about me." Chi You said to them with a smile and walked towards the next floor. If he remembered correctly, Li Shouyun and the others should be living on the lower floor. Since he had decided to join the protagonist group instead of being in the same camp temporarily in the fight against the "Frost Ghost", he had to get as close to Li Shouyun as possible before the "Frost Ghost" incident was resolved, so that he could join the protagonist group naturally.
This is not such a difficult thing to do.
In his previous life, Chiyou followed Li Shouyun for several years in the state of a wandering soul. Because he could not leave, he could only watch everything about Li Shouyun all day long. This led to the fact that, in addition to his growing hatred, he also became the person who knew Li Shouyun best in the world. He just joined the protagonist group, simple as that.
"Mr. Chi is really a good person."
Looking at Chiyou's leaving back, several people couldn't help but sigh.
"He didn't look down on us just because he was strong. I heard that he had taken in ordinary people before."
"Ah? Like Dashayun?"
"I don't know if it's as bad as Li Shouyun, but it's not a bad thing for us. It's not like we're asked to do good things. I hope he's more kind."
"That's right."
"Speaking of which, I don't know what will happen to us in the future. As for that frost ghost, it's better to just leave."
The few of them quickly changed the topic from Chiyou to Frost Ghost, even though the two are actually the same person.
On the other side, Chiyou came to the second floor.
Although this is called a temporary base, it is actually a residential apartment.
Chi You immediately saw Jiang Chifeng standing at the door smoking. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed.
His luck is on the rise!
Without any warning or incident, his luck just kept growing until it reached the level where he killed the survivors.
What is going on!
Could it be that if you get closer to Li Shouyun, your luck will improve?
This is not just a guess. When he attacked everyone just now, after Li Shouyun rushed out of the room, the fortunes of the supporting characters did improve.
Not true.
Chiyou quickly denied this conjecture.
If it is really because of being close to Li Shouyun that one’s luck will increase, then why didn’t other people’s luck increase this time?
To verify, Chiyou returned to the room.
He had to repeat the process again and observe the details carefully, but before he could find any survivors, his luck began to slowly decline again.
Huh?
Chi You couldn't help but feel surprised. He hadn't even actually killed the survivor yet, but it was just a thought and his luck started to decline?
Chiyou pondered for a moment, and continued to let his clone search for survivors. Soon, he found a survivor and killed him with one sword. His luck dropped by more than half.
He came back to the same place as before, and Jiang Chifeng had already returned to the house.
He stood in the corridor for two minutes, his luck remaining unchanged.
My guess just now turned out to be wrong.
The recovery of luck was not due to being close to Li Shouyun.
Otherwise, your luck should have been restored by now.
Could it be that...
Chi You thought of another possibility and returned to the room again, telling his clone to stop searching for survivors. Twenty minutes later, his luck returned to the level before he killed the survivors.
Next, Chiyou did not let his clone kill the survivors anymore, but kept thinking about destroying the world and killing all human beings.
As expected, my luck began to decline, and the rate of decline was getting faster and faster.
Half an hour later, the luck suddenly recovered, and the desire to kill in Chiyou's heart was also suppressed. Although it was only a brief moment, it was enough to make Chiyou's face so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from it.
It is indeed so.
Chiyou's face turned dark.
He guessed the nature of the so-called "protagonist's luck".
If the world's will is visualized and endowed with human emotions and thinking abilities, then the world consciousness of this world will definitely lean towards goodness.
Therefore, when you do bad things, your luck will decline, because this goes against the preference of the world's will and is not recognized by the world's will, and you will naturally lose the luck bestowed by the world's will.
But people are human because they have many thoughts and changing emotions, and many things can make people change their minds.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the Son of Fortune can always walk on the right path and not be affected by external things.
The world will then make corrections.
He will correct the thoughts of those who have luck, so that the chosen ones will always be kind.
Just like just now, Chiyou’s murderous intent was briefly suppressed for a moment.
No wonder Li Shouyun has become so kind that he is not human.
He can no longer be regarded as a normal person. Although he still has normal human emotions, this is when he has kindness in his heart, and kindness is the only choice he has.
Compared to humans, he is more like a vehicle of "kindness" that embodies the world's will.
As for why Chiyou was only affected by the world's will for a moment instead of having his will truly changed, it is most likely because he did not carry enough luck.
Although the protagonist's luck can make his road to the end of the world smoother, if he carries too much, his will will most likely be distorted.
Of course, this is the worst-case scenario.
If you think positively, maybe Li Shouyun recognized his pretended identity, so good luck was transferred to him. Even if he did bad things, Li Shouyun would not know, and good luck would still be transferred to him.
However, between the two guesses, Chiyou is more accustomed to considering the first worst outcome.
"It's really dangerous."
If the first guess is true, then while he is using his luck to become stronger, he must also be careful to control the upper limit of his luck.
Although I don't know what the upper limit is, it should be fine, just like other supporting roles.
In the previous life, although these people were also part of the kind protagonist group, they often had opinions about Li Shouyun's kindness. At least in terms of the luck they carried, they could still control their thoughts to a certain extent.
But then again, Chiyou doesn't think he can bear too much luck. He has done enough bad things. If luck really only comes to good people, then he should have a very obvious upper limit.
