Chapter 168 Two Paths, On the Edge of Seeking Immortality and Asking the Dao!



Su Lin composed himself and suppressed his suspicions.

Regardless of what the mechanism intends to do, let's focus on the immediate issues first.

Currently, all modules in the logistics area are at their maximum level, with a total consumption of 681 million. Su Lin still has a lot of assets left and plenty of room for further operations.

"Linlin, are you planning to prepare a business plan this time?"

Su Lin raised his head and looked at Xiao Linlin beside him. Xiao Linlin was also thinking about this question. When she heard Su Lin's voice, she looked up and said, "Brother, I think we don't need to do it this time."

"Although we already have enough assets, my brother only has one core development problem to face now, which is not complicated and does not require more detailed planning."

Xiao Linlin paused, then came to Su Lin's side and asked in a low voice, "Brother, tell me honestly, do you want to take the path of self-study, or continue to become stronger quickly like before?"

The former is a new path to system strengthening that Su Lin independently figured out after encountering difficulties in the promotion game.

The latter involves continuing to consume large amounts of assets to rapidly acquire the powerful means, skills, weapons, and equipment provided by the mechanism.

Without a doubt, in terms of early and mid-game tactics and overall strength, the former is inferior to the latter.

These two approaches are incompatible on many levels. While they may be used in some situations, each must choose one as its core development path.

"Naturally, it's the former."

Su Lin pondered for a moment, his eyes slightly narrowed, and his tone was deep: "Linlin, we can't afford to make the same mistake twice."

Su Lin didn't want to encounter a situation like the promotion match again; he wanted strength that was entirely his own! That was the confidence that no one could take away from him!

Although Su Lin didn't say it explicitly, Xiao Linlin could sense a deep fear of the system in Su Lin's words. This was an attitude that Su Lin had never expressed directly, but it was gradually emerging at this moment.

"good."

Xiao Linlin smiled and nodded: "Then what we need to do is much simpler, there are only two aspects in total."

"1. Discard all the mechanisms and methods for quickly becoming stronger that you have already learned or are preparing to learn, including your brother's characteristics, skills, and even his talents, etc. Discard them all! Do not consider them!"

"This disregard does not mean completely ignoring their existence or not regarding them as the core of my brother's mainstream system."

"We will only determine my brother's current self-study progress and then conduct new supplementary learning based on his existing self-study system."

"2. Reduce the priority of skills and traits that can be quickly mastered. Even though we already have a level 10 skill module area, we should not pay too much attention to those S-level skills that may be created."

“We can disregard anything that doesn’t involve the skill effects mentioned in point one; of course, this doesn’t mean we should rely solely on our self-taught abilities.”

"We still need to have powerful enough means to deal with future escape scenarios. At least until my brother's self-taught system is truly capable of standing on its own, we cannot give up this means."

"But in this method, we only need [equipment], [armor], [technology items], [one-time or consumable items], and so on."

"These types of methods to become stronger are sufficient to meet our needs for escape capabilities, and at the same time, they do not involve a self-learning system and have a very low impact on ourselves."

After Xiao Linlin finished speaking, she looked at Su Lin and asked, "Brother, what do you think of this approach? Is there anything you'd like to add?"

She wasn't entirely sure either; this was a huge matter, directly affecting Su Lin's strength and escape ranking, and even the benefits of every future match. It had to be approved by Su Lin himself.

Without a doubt, although Su Lin has just acquired a huge amount of assets, he is now facing an extremely dangerous situation!

He stands at a crossroads in his future, and the choice he makes at this moment will directly determine everything that follows.

"You mean... you're not even giving escape skills a top priority?"

Su Lin raised an eyebrow, and Xiao Linlin nodded seriously: "Yes, anything that can be taken away by the system should not be our biggest concern!"

“I know what my brother is thinking. We just qualified to have a second escape talent... but I think no matter what type of talent it is or how strong it is, it can’t escape a fatal flaw: it can be taken away by the mechanism.”

"If that's the case, so what if it's strong enough to be SSS-level? It's not that my brother doesn't have SSS-level escape talent, but as long as the mechanism is willing, it can take it away at any time."

"Is a powerful strength that can be lost at any time what my brother wants?"

Xiao Linlin's insightful observation completely exposed Su Lin's last remaining reliance on his survival skills.

It can be used, but it must never be relied upon!

Only yourself is the most worthwhile investment; everything else is an external force!

Since all we need to do is borrow external forces, let's be more thorough and abandon any illusions! Completely separate ourselves from external forces!

"I see."

Su Lin nodded calmly, agreeing with Xiao Linlin's view that it was correct.

Strictly speaking, Su Lin, who is within the scope of the mechanism's influence, can have everything else, except for himself, considered as external forces.

His weapons, armor, skills acquired through mechanics, escape talents... even his followers, could all be affected and taken away by the mechanics.

certainly!

Su Lin even suspected that his own existence here, and even the fact that his body could exist here, could be affected or even eliminated by the mechanism at any time.
