Building a relationship from scratch is not an easy task.

Moreover, ordinary relationships with strangers are not valuable. According to Ren Suo's calculations, one friend who "can borrow money" should be equal to four "acquaintances" of strangers.

Of course, according to the diminishing marginal benefits of friends, once the emotional value of friends reaches a certain level, it will be difficult to continue to rise, unless it can break through to the four-digit "close friends".

There is a dynamic balance here, which can be expressed mathematically as the interval y=lnx (1, +∞). When the X axis is time and the Y axis is emotional value, although this interval is monotonically increasing, there must be a point where Ren Suo can achieve the maximum emotional value with the least time.

This is also Ren Suo's most efficient emotional harvesting point.

However, it is not easy to find the emotional harvest point. If Ren Suo starts from scratch with a stranger, it will take a long time to get used to it, so he naturally focuses on acquaintances with whom he has higher emotional value.

Ren Suo was already familiar with the hobbies and habits of these friends and girlfriends. Although he had not yet learned and did not have the time to learn knowledge such as building personality models, he could vaguely know who they were most compatible with.

For example, Zhao Huo is proud of what he loves, namely the second dimension and martial arts, so Ren Suo gave him an object that he couldn't refuse: an ignorant girl who has a martial arts foundation, Zhao Huo, and a slight interest in the second dimension. Now Zhao Huo has asked the martial arts girl Xiaosuo to recommend harem anime, and he has forgotten about learning "Qinglong Yanyuefeng".

It's a bit more troublesome for others, mainly because Ren Suo has to use his second identity to establish friendships with them. And what can they say? Their IQ and EQ are far superior to the old version of Ren Suo, and they are unlikely to be close friends with netizens.

Therefore, Ren Suo chose an identity that was closer to theirs in real life: a freshman at Tianlian College.

Then choose an identity that can arouse their curiosity and resonance emotionally: Ren Suo’s fan girl.

With these two personalities, it should be enough of a starting point to become friends with them online.

Although he almost failed at the beginning when he met the tough guy Lin Xianyu, he managed to establish a relationship after chatting for a while.

The reason why I choose this time to add friends is that adding friends late at night can better reflect the tangled mentality of a little girl: "Oh, I'm so nervous. Should I add her? She's so friendly. Should I add her? Should I not add her? Oh, I'll just go for it and add her."

By the way, after careful consideration by Ren Suo, this 'Ren Suo fangirl' plan was to directly kick Qiao Muyi out of the range of the attack.

Because according to Ren Suo's understanding of Qiao Muyi, there is an 81% chance that Qiao Muyi will use various methods to track down the real identity of "Rensuo's fan girl". Even if she can't start from social software, there are so many people in Tianlian Academy. If she wants, she can indeed get everyone's WeChat and then check them one by one.

Others have neither the interest nor the energy to do so, but Qiao Muyi is the deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau, and her subordinates have long been controlled by her. She does not need to do anything herself, as there are plenty of people to help her turn Tianlian Academy upside down.

Can't take any risks, can't take any risks.

When he discovered that the value of emotions could grow again after being harvested once, Ren Suo had already come up with the 'Ren Suo fangirl' plan. Zhao Huo's was purely an unintentional attempt to hurt Zhao Chengmeng, but a small amount of money is still money, so he gave it to his clone to develop the side story.

Because as far as current practical experience is concerned, among the people Ren Suo has gained affection for and has a relatively familiar relationship with, Zhao Huo is the first person to feel that Ren Suo has changed, and the evaluation he gave is an ambiguous one, that is, "becoming a second-dimensional person", which sounded the alarm for Ren Suo.

He immediately reassessed the risks of selling emotions, otherwise the next time would be the death knell.

Let me emphasize again that Ren Suo is not emotionless. All the emotions he had before he became absolutely rational will continue to exist now, but all emotions can be priced.

And now that Ren Suo has discovered that there is a possibility that he might be discovered after selling his feelings, the risk of selling feelings will naturally increase, and he will take this matter more seriously.

In this situation, it would be safest and most appropriate for Ren Suo to open up a second battlefield and use the identity of 'Ren Suo's fan girl Xiao Ren' to gain people's affections.

On the one hand, Xiao Ren mostly communicated with them online, so the possibility of being discovered was greatly reduced; on the other hand, Ren Suo could observe in real time, modify everyone's strategy based on new feedback, and even indirectly confirm the existence of the fangirl 'Xiao Ren'.

In short, there is huge room for development, low risk, and renewable resources. The only problem is that even Ren Suo cannot predict the consequences once it is exposed.

But 100% profit can make the capitalist take risks, 300% profit can make the capitalist sell the rope to hang him, and 1000% profit can make the group leader wear women's clothes. After careful consideration, Ren Suo finally decided to implement this second identity plan with unlimited benefits.

After dealing with this matter, Ren Suo put on Pandora's Box and entered the Gate of Truth. He first checked the transaction permissions and found that the permissions had only been slightly updated, but there was one more redemption:

"10 points of merit = 150 points of truth"

This was the first time that Ren Suo saw that game currency could be exchanged for merits.

Previously, Ren Suo used 10 merit points to purchase 100 truth points. Now Ren Suo can buy back the merit points at a 50% premium, which can be said to be a huge loss.

But now that Ren Suo has discovered a way to harvest emotions, his truth points might become abundant. At that time, it might not be impossible for this game to supply small world game consoles in return.

He looked at the relationship list again and found that Zhao Huo (Xiao Suo)'s relationship value had risen by 70 points, surpassing Zhao Huo (Ren Suo).

Sure enough, only after watering and pruning can chives grow lushly.

Now that the Gate of Truth has ignited the second essence, "Foundation", the next step is to proceed to the third level to ignite the third essence, "Glory".

However, things are not that simple. In the pattern of the Gate of Truth, the first essence "Kingdom" is located at the bottom middle, in an independent row. The second essence "Foundation" is a little higher than "Kingdom", but is also in an independent row at the bottom middle.

The third essence "Glory" and the fourth essence "Victory" belong to the left and right columns respectively, and are in the same row.

But when Ren Suo tried to push open the Door of Truth, he saw the "Glorious" Essence and the "Victory" Essence ignite flames at the same time, and six flame paths appeared, connecting two by two between the four essences, forming a 'Y' shape.

The next second, the Door of Truth fell heavily to the ground.

The pure white space was completely shattered, and the rumbling sound of machinery drilled into Ren Suo's cochlea.

White clouds float across the blue sky that looks like a reflection of the azure sea. The towering mountains in the distance are extremely magnificent. Not far away, a mountain looks like it has been cut by a knife, revealing a huge and flat cross-section.

Ren Suo landed on the soft ground, he turned around and stepped on it, and the sole of his foot exploded.

Although the moment of the explosion triggered "Time Travel" to avoid it, at the same time, everyone here noticed the existence of Ren Suo and the Gate of Truth.

Rensuo is located in the center of a wide flat area.

Outside the wide plain were trenches, covered with thorny electric fences.

Behind the trenches were soldiers holding guns, and even mortars and heavy machine guns.

A little further outside were barracks and groups of federal soldiers sitting in jeeps who seemed ready to leave.

Tanks were lined up in the middle and several helicopters were hovering in the sky.

After Ren Suo took in everything here, he couldn't help but be slightly dazed.

Soon, a black light appeared from behind the trench, and then a tall, black-haired, cold-looking handsome man passed through numerous obstacles as if by teleportation and appeared directly in front of Ren Suo.

"Gatekeeper of Truth." He said slowly in a declarative tone.

"Federal Undertaker, Roy." Ren Suo responded with a smile.

"Guard the door to truth and defeat all seekers of knowledge until the third and fourth essences are ignited!"

"If the protection is successful, the gatekeeper will receive a generous reward and his authority over the truth will be greatly increased."

"Estimated battle time: 8 minutes!"

Ren Suo knew where this place was almost instantly.

The location of the third trial of the Gate of Truth is located in Yosemite National Park on the western foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, the federation.

This is the military restricted area where the Federation has deployed heavy troops in order to fight against the Daedra plane!

The place where the Gate of Truth and Ren Suo appeared happened to be the place where the Federation's imaginary enemy appeared. In other words, as soon as Ren Suo appeared, he was already within the fire coverage of the Federation army.

The first trial is to fight against the Earth Spirit, the second trial is to fight against the Extraordinary Team, and the third trial is...

Fight against an entire country's army with your own strength!
