Chapter 23: Gift and Curse
Hamigua Henhuai's tough attitude made Lizhi Yuhui furious. He attacked Hamigua Henhuai madly, with each move being fierce and each step aimed at killing Hamigua Henhuai.
Xigua Yueguang stepped forward to stop them, but he was unable to suppress the furious Litchi Yuhui. This discovery surprised Xigua Yueguang.
He knew Lizhi Yuhui was talented, but he never imagined it was this high?!
His growth rate was unexpectedly fast. In just a few years, he and Hamigua Henhuai could not stop the furious Litchi Yuhui even if they joined forces.
You know, while Lizhi Yuhui was making progress, he and Hamigua Hehuai also did not give up on improving themselves.
If you pick out any one of him and Hami melon or He Huai, many people in the fruit kingdom would choose to give up fighting with him.
Hami Melon Hen Huai was seriously injured by Litchi Yu Hui.
Looking at the half-dead Hami melon tree lying on the ground, Lizhi Yuhui finally regained his sanity. Worried that he had done something irreparable, he left the scene directly and ran to a tree far away. He squatted down against the roots, remained silent, and began to sulk.
Seeing this, Xigua Yueguang couldn't help but sigh.
He walked silently to the side of the Hami melon tree, looked down at the Hami melon tree on the ground, sighed deeply, and asked:
"You clearly have a better way, why do you choose such an extreme approach?"
Hami Melon Hen Huai slightly bent his fingers, and a small Hami Melon appeared, spitting out a long water pipe, one end of which wrapped around Hami Melon Hen Huai's right hand, transmitting energy to Hami Melon Hen Huai.
Hearing Xigua Yueguang's words, he raised his eyes slightly:
“If possible, I wouldn’t want to treat him like this, but if that book stays there for even a moment, it will cause a huge crisis.
What was written there was not a flaw in martial arts, but a flaw in race. If discovered, it would surely bring devastating disaster to the Fruit Kingdom.
By then, he will be the eternal sinner of the Fruit Kingdom."
Xigua Yueguang listened quietly, then he looked into the distance in the direction where Lizhi Yuhui had left, but there was no trace of Lizhi Yuhui there.
"He's too young. He doesn't understand that being gifted is both a blessing and a curse."
Watermelon Yueguang had a sad look on his face, as if he had already seen Litchi Yuhui's future in advance.
“Extremely high talent will inspire envy; however, when talent exceeds people’s cognitive limits, it will inspire fear.
People will involuntarily do a series of bizarre things to destroy him until he completely disappears from the world."
Hamigua Hehuai closed his eyes and added, "We must teach him the importance of concealing his shortcomings."
"But how long can it be hidden?"
Xigua Yueguang's eyes were filled with deep worry: "Even if gold is mixed in with stones, anyone with eyesight can find it."
During the conversation, Hamigua Hehuai's injuries had been mostly healed. He put away his Hamigua healing device, stood up, looked directly at Xigua Yueguang, and said:
"Then coat each stone with a golden shell, mixing real with fake, fake with real, to confuse others' vision and make them unable to distinguish."
Hearing this, Xigua Yueguang lowered his head in thought, savoring the subtext in Hami Guahenhuai's words.
"You mean to label all these mediocre people as geniuses?"
"Wrong." Hamigua Henhuai smiled and shook his head, saying:
"In that case, Litchi Yuhui will still be discovered. The best way is to formulate a set of standards for genius, allowing people to use their discerning eyes to select the genius they desire.
When the standards are deeply ingrained in people’s minds, they will stubbornly believe that if one fails to meet any of the genius criteria, then he or she is not a genius.”
Watermelon Yueguang nodded, agreeing with Hamigua Henhuai's idea, and continued:
"Indeed. But there will definitely be some smart people in this world who will discover it, but what can they do about it?
This set of standards does not require everyone to believe in it. As long as the number of people who believe in it is large enough, the ideas of the minority will be automatically ignored.
Even when they raise objections, they are attacked by the crowd to refute them.
In this way, our goal of protecting Litchi Yuhui has been completely accomplished."
Hamigua Henhuai: "Now that we've decided on a method, let's discuss a plan of action. As for Litchi Yuhui, let him calm down for a while. I'll deal with him later."
"good!"
——
"Is that person Litchi Yuhui? The 'kindness-enhancing mascot' who's been accompanying Bright Light and Scar for so long?"
As the night gradually approached dusk, Lizhi Yuhui's anger had mostly subsided. He stood up and was about to return to Xigua Yueguang and Hamigua Henhuai when suddenly a voice came to his ears.
Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a group of ordinary-looking men and women pointing and gesturing in his direction, muttering to themselves.
"It seems to be him. If I can see him, can I see the legendary 'strong light' and 'murder scar'?"
"Why don't we take a look around here? They should be nearby."
"I'm so excited! I wonder if they'd be willing to leave an autograph? I'd treasure it forever!"
The others echoed in unison: "Me too!"
This conversation obviously aroused Lizhi Yuhui's curiosity. He used his lightness skills to fly in front of the group of people.
"What did you just say about 'bright light' and 'crime'? Could you explain it to me? I'm a little confused."
He rashly ran in front of the group of people, which scared them. They looked at each other and pushed each other. Finally, they placed the man closest to Lizhi Yuhui in front of Lizhi Yuhui and asked him to explain.
After some communication, Lizhi Yuhui finally had a clear understanding.
During the five years that Xigua Yueguang and the others traveled in the Fruit Kingdom, the three of them gradually gained a reputation among the people for their chivalrous deeds and helping the weak.
The masses gave them corresponding code names based on the characteristics of each of them.
Xigua Yueguang is a very powerful person, and he always radiates a warm aura like sunshine.
Hence the code name, "Strong Light".
Hamiguahenhuai, although he always has a smile on his face, makes people feel scared for no reason. You always feel that he is very vicious and may make you suffer a little loss without leaving any trace in some small details.
Hence the code name, "Evil Scar".
Litchi Yuhui always follows Watermelon Yueguang and Hami Melon Henhuai, often assisting them and helping them with small things. It is hard to see what role he plays, and it is difficult for him to have a sense of presence in daily life, but he is friendly and cute, and plays a role in the design.
Hence the code name, "A mascot with a friendly value."
Lizhi Yuhui, who knew the truth: ...Actually, there's no need to give him a nickname...
I'm a little angry! And a little unwilling!
"Which is the largest and most famous organization in the Fruit Kingdom?"
The person who was responsible for explaining seemed to know that the code name did not sound majestic and domineering enough. He looked up at his face from time to time while speaking and explained carefully.
I originally thought that Lizhi Yuhui might be furious, but I didn't expect that he just asked an irrelevant question, which made him a little stunned.
After a long while, he slowly said:
"If we talk about the largest and most famous organization, it should probably be Chiguo Pavilion!"
"Chiguo Pavilion?"
Lizhi Yuhui repeated it, seeming to be lost in thought.
"Yes.
Although Chiguo Pavilion is a killer organization, unlike other assassin organizations, their killers are not trained in-house from a young age, but are widely selected from the outside world. Every early spring, they hold a large-scale competition, which is divided into ten rounds. The top 100 who stand out from the ten rounds of competition will be invited by Chiguo Pavilion to join their organization at a substantial price.
Normally, assassin organizations are relatively secretive, after all, they aren't doing any serious business and are all about making quick money. However, Chiguo Pavilion goes the other way. They advertise everywhere, handing out flyers every spring before the competition.
They will also write a book about the competition process, one chapter for each round, vividly describing what they saw from their perspective.
The top 100 successful candidates will also have their own biographies written for them, increasing their fame and directly eliminating the inherently low-key nature of the assassin profession."
When he heard the words "increase the killer's reputation", Lizhi Yuhui's eyes lit up.
You know, the code name "mascot with a sense of intimacy" just now hit him hard. He wanted to get rid of this annoying name and replace it with a louder and better-sounding one.
only......
"After all, it is a killer organization. Once they enter Chiguo Pavilion, they have to kill some irrelevant people. Can they really accept those people from outside?" Lizhi Yuhui asked.
"Look at what you're saying." The other person smiled slightly and said, "Chiguo Pavilion's missions are always up to you. You can accept them or not. We don't force you. Chiguo Pavilion holds a small competition every month. As long as you can always maintain your martial arts level in the top ten in these small competitions, you'll be fine. If you don't believe me, I'll naturally persuade you to leave."
Lizhi Yuhui was surprised when he heard this.
"You don't know how to drug or force them? That's what the storybook says. In order to better control the assassins with superb martial arts skills, they always use poison to force them into submission. You will only be given a relief pill if you complete the task every month."
The person on the other side was immediately amused and said, "The benefits at Chiguo Pavilion are top-notch. There are so many people who want to stay, there's no need to deliberately use such poisonous tactics. If you want to leave, you can leave at any time. They won't go out of their way to keep you."
So that's how it is. Lizhi Yuhui lowered his head in thought.
He suddenly had a new idea.
Hamigua Henhuai treated his five years of hard work like this, and Xigua Yueguang also supported Hamigua Henhuai at first sight. If he just went back and forgave them so easily, wouldn't he lose face?
And why should he be called a "mascot with a friendly value"?
He would work hard secretly, build a reputation, and then go meet them!
