Fan Jianqiang's brain was throbbing: "Lust does affect cultivation."
"But is the basket necessary?"
"If it really doesn't work, take the ruthless path!"
"Even if there are brothels everywhere and everyone practices dual cultivation, I can understand it. There are thousands of paths to cultivation, so how can cultivation not be cultivation?"
"Do we have to take this path?"
"this···"
"What are they thinking?!"
Lin Fan shook his head and sighed: "It's not that they want to do this, but they have no choice. They have already been coerced by capital."
“Capital?!”
Fan Jianqiang scratched his head again.
Good job.
The world of cultivating immortals!
Being controlled by capital.
He felt that there was nothing wrong with these words taken individually, but when they were put together, he really couldn't understand them and couldn't figure it out.
Even if you have cultivated immortality, can you still be controlled by capital?
“Capital will also change.”
Lin Fan was not one to keep people in suspense, so he explained, "These investors are not just from wealthy people. In other words, you can think of them as wealthy immortal cultivation families."
"These families have money, connections and power, but they are limited to their own level. For a better life and a better future, they will try their best to climb up."
"But to reach the upper level, even if it's just to the second level, you need a huge amount of resources and funds. Even these are not enough. But no matter what, funds are always the most important."
“So they’ll do whatever they can to make money.”
"Now that you put it that way, I understand a little better."
Fan Jianqiang nodded.
He did gradually come to his senses.
The fact that Lin Fan had been sending out "favorable charms" crazily before, and once the favorable charms were sent out, the attitudes of those so-called gods of the divine department immediately changed 180 degrees, was enough to explain a lot of problems.
Obviously, this is a place that only cares about the 'meta'.
It is not surprising that these guys want to climb up the social ladder and turn money into "capital".
And it is obvious that there are more than one wealthy family and force.
At the beginning, perhaps everyone’s way of making money was relatively normal, such as selling equipment, skills, elixirs and other products.
But these things are common, easy to sell, and there is fierce competition!
You sell, I sell, everyone sells, the competition is fierce, and the money earned is not enough, what should we do?
We can only open up new paths!
How to open up new roads?
Of course, they would do whatever it takes, even breaking the bottom line.
Breaking the lower limit again and again.
Until now...
Isn't it just so 'magical'?
He could even think of it.
Among the common people, everyone wants to climb up, but seeing some people gradually collapse, break the basket, and then make rapid progress... As a result, more and more people break the basket.
In the end, those who don't carry the basket are looked down upon and regarded as the odd ones out.
It's not just that I'm looked down upon, but I'm inferior to others in every way.
You are not as fast in cultivation as others, you cannot win in a fight, and you have to suffer cold stares. You no longer have the chance to climb up. If it were you, would you dare to do it?
"So, even without looking, you can tell that everyone in this damn place is living in extreme poverty. Otherwise, they wouldn't be so devilish and would do anything to climb up."
"And, if I'm not mistaken, the chances of them being able to climb up are shockingly low!"
Lin Fan nodded.
This is not difficult to guess.
After all, if the difficulty wasn't so low, it wouldn't drive people so crazy.
“That’s…ridiculous.”
Fan Jianqiang sighed, "Have they never thought that if everyone loses their basket, wouldn't they all be back to the same level?"
"Then why bother?"
"This reminds me of the Sunflower Manual paradox..."
Of course, this paradox is not very rigorous, but it is very representative.
To put it simply, a martial artist made tens of thousands of copies of the Sunflower Manual before his death and spread them throughout the martial arts world, resulting in everyone in the martial arts world having a copy and knowing about it.
At this time, do you practice or not?
If you don't practice, but your enemy does, you will be killed in seconds.
If you practice and your enemy practices too, then you will still be the same as before and no one can do anything to anyone.
In fact, if everyone practices it, then the bonus of the Sunflower Manual will be completely equal to zero, and the only change will be... your basket is gone.
so.
Are you practicing or not?
If you want the basket you lose your life, or if you want your life you lose the basket.
Even if you don't want the basket, you may not survive.
After all, martial arts training depends on talent...
Compared with this.
Now, isn't this the horrible look of the first level of Guixu?
And it’s not just the basket.
Even the basket is just a tiny part of it.
There must be other messy and various annoying things, but in the end they are all disgusting operations on the same level.
"Speaking of which..."
"Since there is capital, there are still these disgusting operations."
“Then the power of capital must be infinite.”
"For those who climb to the second level, I'm afraid most, no, I'm afraid 90% of them are in the hands of these capitalists, right? Ordinary people, can get 10%?"
After all, Fan Jianqiang is a person who traveled through time.
I also have a little understanding of things like capital.
Naturally, you can draw inferences from one example and guess a lot of things.
Lin Fan spread his hands and said, "Ninety percent? You are underestimating them."
"them···"
“We want a monopoly.”
"If one of the 100 places was taken by a civilian, they would consider it a huge loss and something they could not accept."
"in addition."
"There are no civilians here."
“They are all poor people.”
"Poor fellow."
"And it's the kind of thing where you have to take out a loan that's so huge that you'll need to work for most of your life to pay off the interest."
Fan Jianqiang: “…”
These words silenced him directly.
"this···"
"What the hell is this place?"
"This isn't cannibalism anymore. This is treating people as... human mines?"
"No, damn, even if it's a human mine, or even the silent slaves of those times, they wouldn't be able to touch everyone's basket."
“This place is really outrageous.”
After he fell silent, he couldn't help but complain. After complaining, he thought of another thing: "Based on this development, aren't the poor geniuses here very miserable?"
“It’s more than miserable.”
Lin Fan sighed: "That was simply horrible."
"If you are willing to kneel down, you can kowtow to the young master and become his younger brother. Maybe you can even live a good life."
"But if you're unwilling to kneel down, and even want to snatch the chance to climb to the second floor? Tsk, school bullying? I don't even bother playing that."
"You can't even imagine those methods."
"They don't even kill you, they just treat you as a resource that can be sold for money. In the end, all the useful muscles on your body will be cut off and sold to other poor people in need."
"It won't die after you sell it. I'll keep it for you until its muscles recover. Then you can cut it and buy more~"
"It's just like leeks, one crop after another, cut and cut again, until there is no more value to use them."
"After all, you are a 'genius'. Your muscles, your spiritual roots and so on are all great things. For those 'poor fellows' with average talents, tut tut tut."
“···”
Lin Fan is laughing.
The laughter was full of mockery.
Fan Jianqiang listened very carefully, but couldn't help shivering.
He asked himself.
This is such a damn place...
If I were to travel through time to this place, would I be able to withstand the pressure?
I am afraid···
Even if you still behave yourself, there is a high probability that you will be influenced by the environment and change, right?
Not to mention anything else.
This basket...
Maybe there really isn't?
hiss!
grass!
Absolutely not!
It's not me who's wrong, it's this 'world'!
Suddenly, a very familiar music rang in Fan Jianqiang's mind...
How many floors does it take to carry a bag of rice?
A bag of rice has to be carried to the second floor!
A bag of rice is covered with so much mud.
A bag of rice, I wash the mud.
Let the world feel the pain~
Super spicy sweet crab~!
This moment.
Fan Jianqiang held his forehead with his hand.
he···
Really trying to restrain myself.
Restrain yourself from destroying this filthy, painful, fucked-up world!
to be honest.
He originally thought that the Xianwu Continent and the Three Thousand Continents were chaotic enough.
The bigger the fist, the more power it has. The strong prey on the weak. There is no humanity at all and no rules at all.
Now I suddenly discovered...
There are rules in this place.
But it’s even worse than the law of the jungle outside.
“No wonder people outside don’t want to come in, and the Guixu leaders don’t want people inside to have contact with the outside world.”
"This is going to be a contact, there will be some problems with the height."
"Although they can solve it, it is not conducive to 'stability' or 'unity', tut tut tut."
Lin Fan smacked his lips: "Who said it wasn't?"
"Why, you can't accept it?"
"Want to be a savior?"
Fan Jianqiang calmed down and smiled, "Maybe there is a savior, but that person is definitely not me."
"Perhaps, the 'protagonist template' in Guixu is its savior?"
"But then again, if the protagonist grows up in this place, I'm afraid he will probably become psychologically distorted. After he succeeds, it's hard to say whether he will choose to overthrow everything and become the savior, or whether he will become the dragon slayer and eventually become the evil dragon."
"But I won't be the savior anyway."
At the same time, he added silently in his heart: At least it won’t be me now.
after all···
I am walking the path of hiding.
Without absolute certainty, even if there is a 98% success rate, the risk is still too great.
Not stable enough!
You can't do that!
Maybe one day in the future, when I grow to a certain level, I can push my winning rate to 100% and perfectly handle the subsequent impacts...
Will you come to be the savior?
While pondering, he looked at Lin Fan.
"Master, do you want to take action?"
Lin Fan: “…”
"I'm not that compassionate, and I'm certainly not a saint."
"All I can say is, respect the fate of others."
"unless···"
"It has something to do with me, so I have to do something later."
Fan Jianqiang understood what this meant.
"So, this is why we came to the first floor, right?"
"That's right." Lin Fan did not deny it and said softly, "If we really take the template here away."
"It has a cause and effect with this place."
“Maybe in the future…”
“I will come again.”
“What will happen then, I’m not sure.”
"However, having said that, I do feel a certain curiosity towards this person who may become my future junior fellow apprentice."
"To be able to grow up in this place and be valued by you, Master, I think that at least at the stage when you got to know him, he was a good person."
“But I’m curious...”
"he···"
“Is gender easy to determine?”
puff!
When these words came out, Lin Fan almost laughed out loud.
Is it easy to tell the gender of a person?
If you want to ask if someone has a basket, just ask.
Why are you still going through all these twists and turns?
"Because his family is poor."
"No basket."
"That's good, that's good." Fan Jianqiang breathed a sigh of relief.
He is a very 'traditional' person.
Whether it's his junior brother or junior sister, he accepts them all.
But if a second chair comes who I don’t know whether to call my junior sister or junior brother…
That is really hard to accept.
"Where's the Goldfinger?"
Fan Jianqiang was also quite curious about his golden finger. "Is it convenient for you to know?"
“This… isn’t something that’s hard to say.” Lin Fan summed it up and said, “Let’s put it this way. If you are a genius at hiding your true self, then he is a genius at hard work.”
"A hard-working genius?"
These words completely confused Fan Jianqiang.
What is a hard-working genius?
In other words, which protagonist template is not a hard-working genius?
Emperor Huang Tian is extremely talented, but doesn’t he work hard?
Emperor Yan was also a genius of his time. Didn’t Emperor Yan work hard?
Yaya is awesome, right?
But she could grow up to be the ruthless emperor, didn’t she work hard?
"It's not what you think."
Lin Fan further explained: "He is the kind of hardworking genius who will die if he doesn't work hard enough and push himself to exhaustion whenever he has a little free time."
Fan Jianqiang: “…”
He just wanted to say, it's the same for us.
Oh, that's not right.
Except myself.
cough.
But I am a mediocre person and cannot be counted.
Take Emperor Huang Tian as an example. If he didn't work hard enough, let alone the stories that followed, a mere 'cousin' would have been enough to defeat him, right?
"It's not what you think."
"It's not that you don't work hard enough or are not strong enough that you will be killed by your enemies."
"yes···"
"If he doesn't squeeze every bit of energy out of himself to practice in all his free time, he will suddenly die."
"The kind that doesn't require anyone to kill."
Fan Jianqiang: “???!”
What kind of golden finger is this?
“···”
“It’s unheard of, but I would say it’s an eye-opener.”
"Is it?"
Lin Fan sighed: "When I first saw it, I also felt it was different."
"That···"
Fan Jianqiang was ready to move on to the next step: "How do we find it?"
Seeing is believing.
No matter how many questions you ask, it is better to find the person and meet him/her.
Maybe if we meet once, we will understand everything.
“Isn’t there a map?”
Lin Fan took the map and spread it out: "Let me see if I can find any useful reference points, or reference locations..."
“Hey~”
“Got it!”
Lin Fan saw a name on the map that was so small that he couldn’t see it at all if it weren’t for his good eyesight - Songyang.
“Interesting.”
"Let's go take a look here first."
Fan Jianqiang came over and took a look with a strange expression.
"high···"
"high school?"
Swish!
The two of them sped along at lightning speed, so fast that the space was distorted wildly.
In fact, this is the result of them suppressing the leakage of their own speed and power as much as possible.
otherwise···
This place couldn't hold on any longer.
Of course, it will not cause the first level of Guixu to collapse.
After all, there must be formations and other means of counterattack outside.
But it can definitely make the areas near them explode into nothingness!
However, doing so is clearly against the law.
So they didn't do that.
Just under the premise that the first level could bear it, they increased the speed as much as possible and arrived at Songyang High School in half a day.
Then, the two of them squatted at the school gate.
Fan Jianqiang was curious: "Master, do you know what he looks like?"
"have no idea."
"Then who are we waiting for?"
"Wait for the most beautiful girl in this high school, observe her for a day or two, and see who is the most beautiful and has a handsome guy by her side. That's the most likely one."
Fan Jianqiang: “…”
This method of finding people is really unique!
But then again, it seems to be quite useful.
The premise is that you come at the right time.
Otherwise, it would be just like going to the Nine Cauldrons Secret Realm before, Teng Qingshan hadn’t even been born yet, so it would be meaningless.
However, Lin Fan had also considered this.
So he just came to try his luck.
It would be best if you can find it.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t find it.
If I get it, I'm lucky. If I lose it, it's my fate.
······
This squat lasted for three days.
At first, the students were quite curious about these two "weirdos".
But gradually, I got used to it.
This day, before class.
Fan Jianqiang whispered, "Master, after observing for the past three days, except for the three days when they didn't come to class, the most beautiful girl went to school with a handsome boy..."
"That should be them."
Finally, he added: "At least from my point of view, it is them."
"Just ask and you'll find out."
Lin Fan gestured.
Fan Jianqiang immediately stepped forward and stopped the two men.
"Two."
Fan Jianqiang smiled slightly: "Can we chat?"
"I still have class. Sorry."
The boys and girls were quite alert and tried to bypass him to enter the school.
However.
Fan Jianqiang just smiled.
The two of them couldn't see what he was doing.
I only felt a flash before my eyes, and then Fan Jianqiang grabbed my wrist and pulled me in that direction.
Both of them changed color.
He immediately resisted, using all his strength and exerting all his power.
However, nothing moved!
It was as if they were playing tug of war with a mountain!
It’s a fucking walking mountain!
The two of them had no power to resist at all.
"Help!!!"
The boy shouted loudly, trying to ask for help.
but···
But no one responded, as if no one heard it.
"What on earth are you..."
“Who is it?!”
"What do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions, I just want to confirm whether you are the person we are looking for."
Fan Jianqiang smiled and explained: "If it is."
"It means that your opportunity has arrived."
The two looked at each other and frowned slightly.
For a moment, I didn't know whether I should believe it.
But he did not resist anymore. (End of this chapter)
