Chapter 56: Beating, Only Beating
The good news is that with Leon's ghost steps, he delivered the fear-repelling powder to his companions as soon as possible, thus resolving everyone's abnormal state.
The bad news is
Because their condition after returning from the dungeon was extremely abnormal, many people have exposed their excuse that they would not enter the Sen dungeon for the time being, and their secret internal activities were discovered.
The reputation of the strategy team became somewhat subtle for a while.
This matter is neither big nor small.
At most, it broke everyone's deification of the strategy group. It turns out that even a strong strategy group can fail in the dungeon. Hehe, it turns out that I am similar to them. We are all losers who died in there.
Some people who blindly worshipped them also had their filters broken and looked at Leon with strange eyes.
On his way home to get money, he passed by the Adventurer's Guild and met some people. He understood everything from the look in their eyes.
Good news takes a long time to be known to others, but bad news can spread throughout the city in less than an hour.
It's nothing to secretly roll up your sleeves, but if you still pretend to be cool in front of everyone and package yourself as a great god who can complete the game with one life, then this will ruin your popularity.
It was far from the level of moral corruption, but it was undoubtedly a devastating blow to Leon.
He has three hobbies in his life: pretending to be cool, showing off, and showing off in front of others.
(Isn’t this the same meaning?!)
Because of childhood trauma and other factors, he became a person who craves attention and hopes to be cheered wherever he goes like a star.
So he worked hard to improve his sword skills, studied adventuring knowledge seriously, made a name for himself in one adventure after another, and became a senior silver-level adventurer.
It's an inspirational story that fame is earned through hard work, but he has a bad habit of bragging, and the more he brags, the bigger it gets.
The most typical example is someone who brags about clearing a dungeon with one life, but is actually practicing secretly behind the scenes.
Once the lies were exposed, the other members of the strategy group didn't feel much, but for Leon, it was like the sky falling.
"Boss, money"
Leon walked into the Mareda Magic Tool Shop with unsteady steps, absentmindedly placed a bag of coins on the counter, even forgetting to take back the extra money, and turned and left.
A hand pressed down on his shoulder, and a voice came from behind him, "Since you are here, sit down."
He was pressed into the chair with almost no resistance, his eyes staring blankly ahead, as if he was in a trance.
The mechanism of the lion ape is quite scary. It scared the child into a fool, Gong Qiying sighed.
Since his prop store opened, the customers who came were ordinary people, and the things he sold were just some insignificant little gadgets.
He didn't want to sell his most valuable treasures to customers who didn't have much potential at first glance. First, the products wouldn't have much publicity effect if they bought them, and second, they didn't have money and were not wealthy.
He didn't expect the store to be very successful, he just used it as a medium to connect with the outside world and as a publicity outlet.
Recently he has discovered that interacting with people can help ease his mental state.
From the memories of the zombie Godwin, we learned that many dungeon lords were tortured by loneliness to the point of going crazy. He also became demented and almost died in the long period of loneliness.
In addition to their nature, most intelligent creatures actually need to socialize.
Interacting with people is like leaving anchors in the world. These anchors pull their spirits and keep them stable. This is the research result of a certain school of thought, and Gong Qiying agrees with it.
These days, in addition to repairing the dungeon in real time, he has been spending all his time in the Bed City Public Library, absorbing the knowledge of this world as greedily as a gluttonous dragon.
Keep interactions with people to a minimum and avoid too much contact with others. At most, you will bargain with customers when you feel lonely.
He realized that the real purpose of this body was to understand the outside world and come into contact with individuals with potential, rather than to show up in public, wander around and pretend to be cool.
Today, Leon accidentally ran into Gong Qiying's shop, which surprised him a little.
As luck would have it, he happened to be the only one who possessed the terror-repelling powder, which was probably the only antidote to cure the state of terror. I say "probably" because the magic in this world might be able to cure it.
Now that he was here, he was ready to enlighten this lost lamb.
"What are you worried about? Is it love?" Gong Qiying placed a cup of hot tea in front of Leon.
The other party shook his head blankly.
"money?"
Leon then shook his head.
"disease?"
Leon still shook his head.
"cause?"
Leon still didn't say no. He didn't shake his head. Instead, he looked at Gong Qiying in surprise, as if to say, how did you know! ?
“.”
Gong Qiying almost couldn't hold back his smile. How the hell should I know? I've asked all the questions about fortune-telling. If I can't answer, then there must be something fishy.
Leon thought Gong Qiying was a stranger who didn't know "Lion" Leon, so he was quite relaxed in front of him and managed to chat with him.
In fact, if he wasn't really confused and had just recovered from a negative state and his consciousness was still unclear, he would not have chatted with strangers.
Simply put, Leon is in a state where he can be easily fooled.
He finally spoke incoherently:
"Boss, I think I did something wrong,"
Gong Qiying turned sideways, like a real listener.
"When I was little, my mother died early, my sister always bullied me, my father ignored me, and I had no playmates in my childhood."
He started from the beginning when Pangu created the world and told us all his childhood experiences.
"That's why I want to stand out, I want to be noticed, I want."
He lowered his head and said as if to himself, "But I screwed up."
He just became like this after being caught bragging, Gong Qiying looked at him with pity, thinking that the psychological quality of people from the other world was not very good, and they were far less thick-skinned than people in the Internet age.
"Do you think you did something wrong in this matter?" Gong Qiying asked softly.
Leon said hesitantly: "Maybe it's me."
"Don't worry, it's your fault!"
The sudden loud voice startled Leon for a moment.
He lowered his head again, thinking that the other party was going to say something to condemn him for bragging, however.
Gong Qiyingcai is not that kind of person.
He said in a rhythmic manner:
"If your power can knock down everything and blast all those who doubt you into dust, who would think you are bragging?"
"After all, you still lack this,"
He pointed at Leon's hands.
".My hand?"
"It's Pava, the power!"
Gong Qiying pointed his fingers at his temples and said, "Think carefully with your brain, my friend, think carefully."
"The root cause of everything that has happened now is that you are not strong enough. If you have enough power, even if the king despises you now, you can also -"
"What can I do?" Leon asked.
"Beat him," Gong Qiying slammed the counter.
Leon was stunned by this outrageous speech.
"Beating the king? Then I will be beaten by the guards."
"Then beat the guards,"
"ah?"
"If the king refuses to obey, then keep beating him. If the minister refuses to obey, then keep beating him. If the guard refuses to obey, then beat him too."
"Only by beating them non-stop and making them submit to your power can you become a true star, and everyone will love you, respect you, and fear you."
Leon was stunned by what he said, and actually showed an expression of fascination, even if it was only a little bit.
He looked at Leon's expression and said slowly: "If your father is dissatisfied."
Leon said subconsciously: “Then beat him up,”
After he finished speaking, he covered his mouth, wondering why he said such a thing.
Gong Qiying was very satisfied and said, "If your sister is dissatisfied."
"Beat her!" Leon blurted out.
"If the adventurer——"
"Beat!"
"Great, you've learned to answer quickly,"
Gong Qiying patted his shoulder and said with satisfaction: "So, you still need to practice your strength, young man."
Leon regarded Gong Qiying as a master who could answer his questions, and asked, "Boss, where should I go to train my strength?"
"You finally asked that,"
He took out three envelopes and placed them in front of Leon, saying, "The way to salvation is in them. Each envelope is worth ten gold coins. Seize your chance."
Leon looked down and saw words written on the envelope:
【About Bonfire Information】
[Information about the flaming sword and "cancellation"]
【Information about Lion Ape】
