(Warriors, no need for extra salt!)
The other party was very knowledgeable. After all, he was the helmsman supported by the power of an organization. His eloquent and extensive citations almost made Li Jingming, the chosen one of [Memory], almost bow down to him.
But the Dragon King is not weak either. At least in terms of the breadth of his understanding of the history of the Island of Hope, he also provided detailed research and sharp comments.
As a result, the two men ended up in a tie, and seemed to have developed a mutual understanding because of their respective historical background.
But what the Dragon King did not expect was that the other party changed his attitude not long after. The moody head of the History School refused his joining on the grounds that the Dragon King had not won yet, and ordered that the History School would no longer be allowed to have any dealings with the Dragon King.
To be honest, the Dragon King, who thought he had found a fellow traveler, was confused for a long time by this inexplicable rejection. But he was just confused and did not feel that he had suffered a loss. After all, compared with the history he had shared, what he heard from the helmsman of the historical school was more complex and shocking.
No matter how you look at it, this can't be considered a losing deal.
But unexpectedly, as he got to know the Island of Hope better, the Dragon King discovered that the history that the historical school told him, which he didn't know... was all false.
Only then did he realize that he had been cheated, and the person who cheated him was Zhen Yi.
"......" After hearing these things, there was no ridicule or mockery in Cheng Shi's eyes, only sympathy.
At this moment, the two people who had been fooled by Zhen Yi empathized with each other.
What bad luck!
but......
Is this not a loss?
Dragon King, haven’t you even lost your pants?
If you don't suffer any loss from this, then when I deal with that unlucky thing, it can be considered a small profit!
He frowned and looked at the other party with a strange look in his eyes. Li Jingming seemed to see Cheng Shi's doubts and smiled:
“Although [memory] is a representation of [existence], it does not only remember the representation.
In that false memory exchange, although I failed to record a true history of the Island of Hope, I did record a person with a vivid image, full flesh and blood, and an interesting personality.
That is my greatest reward, a reward that is no less than a wonderful memory.”
"......"
Cheng Shi was confused. He didn't understand [Memory], but he felt that the Dragon King had gained nothing from the confrontation with Zhen Yi. This was purely a spiritual victory.
At this moment, the halo of the Dragon King gradually faded from Li Jingming, and the image of Ah Q slowly merged with the other party.
But putting all these nonsense aside, there is one thing that Cheng Shi did guess right, and that is that the Dragon King is indeed recording others all the time.
I knew it, dogs... [memory] can't change memory.
He smiled in his heart, then looked at Li Jingming with a stern face and said:
"Dragon King, you are so dishonest!
Although we are exchanging memories, you are still silently remembering me at this moment beyond the transaction. I gave my current image, but did not get a corresponding exchange. In the past, this was called an infringement of personal privacy.
Of course, I don't really care about these, but as a beneficiary of memory exchange, you...
Are you sorry?"
"......"
Li Jingming was stunned. Although that was the case, no one would think like Cheng Shi. The exchange of memory was just a form of communication. The ability to remember each other was obviously due to the innate ability of [Memory] believers. How could this be considered part of the transaction?
However, he also roughly understood Cheng Shi's temper. Although this clown with a sharp tongue appeared greedy enough, it cannot be ruled out that he was deliberately distorting and tarnishing his own image.
[Fraud] is also a superficial appearance, and Li Jingming has never forgotten it.
"Okay, so what do you want?"
"I think you didn't tell the whole story about what you just said to Zhen Yi. Otherwise, with Zhen Yi's personality, she would have been able to beat you by a large margin. She would have publicized the news to everyone. The fact that it hasn't been exposed means that she really couldn't beat you.
As for why, it’s definitely not because of your method of spiritual victory.
What did you earn from Zhen Yi? "
“Smart and sharp.
Cheng Shi, you are amazing. Many people have convinced themselves after hearing this. It's rare that you still want to delve deeper into this.
But the following content is part of Zhen Yi's memory, what are you going to exchange with me?"
Cheng Shi rolled his eyes and said, "I will make it clear what conditions you have agreed to right now."
“This is the content of the previous round of exchange. The chips cannot be used for repeated payment.”
“But I can also explain it unclearly, leaving you with the burden to continue on your path of [Memory].
I discovered that you are a man of your word and you don't like to default on your debts.
Fortunately, I am not. I am a liar. I am thick-skinned and I have no psychological burden to default on my debts. Cheng Shi spread his hands, as if to say, "I am just cheating, what can you do about it?"
"......"
Li Jingming's eyelids twitched violently, and he stared at the other party for a long time before convincing himself that he had taken this small loss.
"Zhen Yi was too young at that time, and she loved to show off her skills."
"Show off your skills?" Cheng Shi was stunned.
“Yes, the history she told is generally correct, but many of the details are wrong. In particular, the more important details are distorted by her. This is what I call showmanship.
She is deliberately confusing the real historical point.
But the problem is, the truth is the truth after all. When I gradually pieced together this confusing history, thanks to her "guidance", I was able to reversely find the key nodes and core information of history based on this logic.
It is for this reason that I have dug deep into memory after memory and discovered many truths that I had overlooked but only the historical school knew.
So her showmanship indirectly told me more historical secrets.
But later on, Zhen Yi, who became more savvy, found out about this and naturally became even more upset with me."
"......"
You two are really cunning. Even if the brains of the believers of the two faiths of "War" and "Chaos" were combined, they probably wouldn't be as smart as you two.
Cheng Shi clicked his tongue with emotion, thinking that the Dragon King was indeed not inferior to Zhen Yi.
"Okay, I've made it clear. What about you, Cheng Shi? What are your conditions?"
Hearing the Dragon King's urging, Cheng Shi's eyes lit up and he finally became serious. He looked at the other party with a mysterious smile, and then whispered to him:
"I think you'd be a good fit for us, so I'd like to invite you... to join us."
"?" Li Jingming frowned, realizing that the "we" in Cheng Shi's mouth did not seem to be as simple as an ordinary organization. "Who are you?"
Cheng Shi took out a mask, put it on his face and saluted elegantly:
"clown.
A group of liars who use absurd art to tell [nonsense] stories to entertain the whole world... "
