Chapter 167: Cursing Behind My Back Everyday
Of course, not everyone wants to keep fighting.
However, many things are beyond one's control. The world of cultivation is also a huge field of fame and fortune, with intricate relationships and power relations. The sects that can be gathered together by Su Yuanzong are inevitably involved in power relations. The sects that can truly survive on their own and have no worries, such as Youxia Mountain and Wukang Mountain, dare not and do not want to compete for fame and fortune. No matter how great the benefits are, they all belong to others. Once they come in, they have to find a place to hide and wait until the end before leaving.
The rewards that Shengshenzhou gives to various factions and individuals for good rankings are just a gesture. Shengshenzhou builds Xunmen for each continent, which is the biggest and most valuable reward for each continent.
For the sects under each continent, the rewards given by each continent are the bulk and the rewards that benefit the most people.
For example, it would be like having a Xun Gate built at the doorstep of your home.
Those sects that have made outstanding contributions in the competition will certainly be rewarded when they return to their respective continents. By giving appropriate rewards in certain aspects, it is possible for a sect to get a chance to move up a level, which is much better than rewarding a house from the royal court.
If there weren't any tempting conditions, who would be willing to fight to the death?
As long as his name is on the merit book, once the merit book is taken out, it will determine his future in the sect.
There was no chance before, but now the opportunity is right in front of me. I see the clear hope and have already paid so much for it. Who can give up easily?
At this time, Shi Chun had no idea what everyone was thinking. He was chatting with Wu Jinliang and Chu Jingtang, and they were having a pretty good time.
Although the two had been out of exile for quite some time, they were limited by their conditions most of the time and had not really enjoyed this world. There were many things they had not seen and many delicious foods they had not eaten.
As soon as they went out, they arrived at the extremely prosperous royal capital. Chu Jingtang said that he had been here several times before, so Shi Chun and the other two naturally wanted to use him as a mouth to see the world. Anyway, they were free anyway, so just by talking about some food that they had never eaten or seen before, they almost drooled.
The two of them were already fantasizing about getting a good ranking, living a good life with money and a house in Wangdu, with a smile on their faces like a mother-in-law.
The clustered footsteps outside also alarmed this side. After the disciples of Bilan Sect went out to take a look, they ran back as if frightened.
Before he could say anything, someone outside shouted, "Please come out and see me, Boss."
Then the group shouted in unison, "Please come out and see us, Boss!"
The sound shook the mountains and fields.
What the hell? Shi Chun and the others immediately stood up and hurried out of the cave to take a look.
We fought a battle today and came back early. It was mid-afternoon now. The mountain was casting a slanting shadow, half covering the men and horses in front of us.
Seeing a group of people with murderous looks and swords drawn in their hands, it was obvious that they were not here with good intentions, and Chu Jingtang was so frightened.
Mr. Chu’s first reaction was, has the pile of stones been exposed?
After getting on the pirate ship, the disciples of the four sects who helped to guard the Chong Ji Crystal also stood guard at the entrance of the cave nervously.
Director Mai, who is usually very active, now stood aside in the crowd. He didn't want to come, but there was nothing he could do. He was also dragged into it, and it would be inappropriate not to participate.
Shi Chun glanced at everyone, raised his eyebrows, and sneered, "Why, do you want to steal the Insect Crystal?"
The leader who dared to take the lead said loudly: "Boss, you are joking. No matter who else's credit is taken, no one can take yours."
Someone chimed in, "Yes, no one can rob you. Without the boss's spies, nothing can be accomplished."
Someone shouted: "Without the boss's training and command, we can't achieve anything."
Someone in the crowd shouted, "We have all seen how the boss fought head-on and defeated powerful enemies."
Someone else shouted, "Boss, let me be frank. When we first heard that you were Miss Mulan's fiancé, we didn't think highly of you. But now we have to admit that we were short-sighted. There is no such thing as not being worthy of you."
"Yes, that's right. She totally deserves it."
After all this praise, Shi Chun became curious, "Then what are you trying to do by blocking my door and acting like a rebel?"
The leader said loudly: "We want to tell the boss that this is not a reason for him to quit while he is ahead!"
After hearing this, Shi Chun suddenly realized what was going on. Wu Jinliang and others looked at each other and roughly understood what was going on.
There have been fewer fights in the past two days, and the group has complained a lot in front of them. It seems that it is because they are unsatisfied.
After knowing this, Shi Chun was speechless. With a daily income of several thousand, the total has reached more than 60,000 coins. Are you still not satisfied? Mulan and Qingqing's boasts have been fulfilled by us. What else do you want?
The morale was commendable, but he had to be realistic. "Brothers, we already have more than 60,000 missiles. We should be in first place. Nearly a thousand brothers have fallen. What's the point of a good ranking if we can't get out alive? I'm doing this for everyone's own good."
Someone retorted, "Boss, 60,000 coins sounds like a lot, but it's actually not much at all, because we have never touched the real big players, who knows how much they have. If we don't maintain our advantage and accumulate them now, it will be a matter of time before we lose to Miss Mulan."
"Yes, Boss, you can't rest."
"Boss, don't be so self-righteous."
"Boss, you must not be complacent."
"Boss, we are sailing against the current. If we don't move forward, we will move backward."
Faced with a flood of rebuttals, Shi Chun pressed his hands, signaling everyone to be quiet, and said earnestly: "I didn't say I won't fight. If I find an opportunity, I will naturally fight."
The leader asked, "What kind of opportunity is an opportunity to strike?" Shi Chun: "A good opportunity is one that can pay the least price and get the greatest reward. No, you don't really think you can just pick up someone and grab the Insect Crystals, right? I had my spies do a lot of work in advance and figured out the number of Insect Crystals in the hands of others before I took action. Attacking randomly, making unnecessary sacrifices, and not getting any corresponding rewards, why bother?"
Someone said: "The big families in each continent must have a large amount of insect crystals."
The leader said in a deep voice: "Boss, when we were out, we captured a Dizhou prisoner alive. We pried his mouth and learned that there are only about 200 core Dizhou troops left. I think we can fight them if we concentrate our strength!"
"Yes, we can fight."
"Yes, once we find them, we can make another long raid."
"Yes, it's enough to destroy it in one battle!"
Faced with the surging calls from the crowd, Shi Chun was a little shocked. It just so happened that the core forces of Dizhou also had people like Lan'er. Although there were only more than 200 people left now, they were a group of elite sects in Dizhou headed by the largest sect in Dizhou. With such a force, were 200 people not enough?
These idiots don't even take this kind of power seriously, yet they dare to boast that they can destroy it in one battle. Where does their confidence come from?
Even if you can win, if those masters want to escape, how many of them can you stop?
He soon realized that this was the result of his previous intentional guidance, but he had guided them too much. These people fought too smoothly and became invincible, becoming arrogant.
But he didn't want these people to die.
When these people leave alive, they will calm down and realize that it was his kindness that saved them.
It is true that he deceived these people, but he hoped that they would still remember his kindness after being deceived, which is also a gain.
So he sneered and said, "After you go out, remember what I said now. It is easy to kill you. It is because I don't want you to die. I want to save your lives and don't want you to become victims of the struggle for interests.
At this point, after all the fighting and robbing all the way here, you still think I'm here to play, do you think I don't want to win?
I will let you advance when I tell you to, retreat when I tell you to, stop when I tell you to, and enforce discipline. This is the guarantee that we can win all the way. I have a plan in my mind about when to strike, when to lie low, how to fight, and how to win. I know it better than you do, and you don't need to teach me how to do it.
If I say you can fight, you can fight. If I say you can't fight, you can't fight. Now, all of you go back and rest. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will contact Mulan Qingqing immediately, break the contract, and give them all these insect crystals. Do you think they are willing? You know I am a person who will obey orders. I am not kidding you. Get out!"
The group of people fell silent. They looked aggressive just now, but now they looked at each other, asking each other what to do.
It was all very awkward, but no one seemed to be dissatisfied.
Just based on this point, Chief Mai Zhan, who was hiding in the corner, secretly laughed. It was really only this big boss who could make everyone convinced and suppressed them easily. How fierce they were when they came, how embarrassed they were now.
Shi Chun flicked his sleeves and turned into the cave. He was too lazy to pay any more attention to these idiots and ignored them.
After the group of people got bored, they stayed for a while and then dispersed in shame.
However, the "military remonstrance" by half of Xuanzhou's troops eventually alarmed Mulan and Qingqing. This was really no trivial matter.
That night, in the central cave, Mulan, Qingqing and other big guys were all present.
Chief Mai Zhan has also arrived. As an undercover agent planted by Wan Daoxuan himself, he was summoned for questioning in person because of the situation. After all, some things cannot be explained clearly using the mother-and-child talismans.
Feng Lin went to pick it up personally to avoid wasting time going back and forth and being discovered if something was wrong.
The question was naturally about the detailed situation of the "military remonstrance", and Chief Mai Zhan also explained the details.
Although the "military remonstrance" failed, it still made several leaders secretly frightened.
What was frightening was not the military remonstration itself, but the strong fighting spirit of that mob. A group of guys who liked to work but not put in any effort, actually fought to the death. Even if they were not allowed to fight to the death, they were still suppressed by Wang Sheng with force. What was this?
Combined with the achievements the group had made along the way, they were shocked.
Mulan Qingqing, who had been listening quietly without interrupting, finally asked, "According to your observation, what method did he use to make those people so fearless and fearless?"
What she cared about most was not the military remonstration, but why the troops were completely transformed when they fell into Wang Sheng's hands.
"What method..." After thinking for a while, Mai Zhanzhang shook his head and said, "I haven't seen him use any method. To be honest, he is very lazy. He just walks away and does nothing. He doesn't talk to everyone, nor does he spend time to reorganize his people. He always abandons everyone and runs away, which always makes everyone busy and flustered.
They also plotted assassination attempts against us, and always scolded us as if we were no human beings, only caring about their own enjoyment.
He didn't even bother to ask about the garrisons and duties, and he wasn't afraid of being attacked. He made everyone very uneasy, and we had to think of ways to help him fix the problems. His boss was too casual and rough, and we cursed him behind his back every day, but it seemed that everyone respected him. "
Wan Daoxuan and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. How could this be possible? As the leader, we usually worry a lot.
Mulan Qingqing tried to ask: "Is it because he is my fiancé?"
Director Mai Zhan smiled slightly, thinking, you think too highly of yourself, and shook his head and said, "Your fiancé's reputation cannot be overshadowed in every detail. It shouldn't be him. Anyway, everyone scolds him behind his back every day, but when he opens his mouth, everyone listens to him. I can't explain the specific situation."
