Legend of the Knight

Chapter 174 Deciphering the World View

In the town at the foot of Wudang Mountain, there is a small tea shop selling tea.

This kind of small tea shop not only sells tea, but also sells food.

Now, it was the time when the small tea shop had the least business of the day. Apart from the boss, there were only two people in the whole tea shop.

"This brother, coming to drink tea so early, must also be a tea lover."

After Huang Xiaoshi sat down cheekily, he put a bundle in his hand on the table, and slowly opened it.

"A friend just gave me some Wudang black tea.

This meeting is fate, I wonder if Xiongtai is interested in tasting tea with me? "

Huang Xiaoshi seemed to say this very casually, but in fact, his toes were so nervous that he almost buckled through the soles of his shoes.

This is the first time for Huang Xiaoshi to talk face to face with the Xu family brothers. Although he has imagined in his mind how to speak in hundreds of occasions, but when he meets a real person, it is Huang Xiaoshi's temperament at this time. Still can't escape the tension.

The Xu family brothers are far from being comparable to the emperor, if they have to be described, they are "gods" in this world.

In the face of "God", we should be in awe.

……

"I didn't expect this brother to be a tea lover." Xu Ziyi smiled gently at Huang Xiaoshi and said, "That's why obedience is worse than respect."

Hearing Xu Ziyi's words, Huang Xiaoshi kept a smile on his face and let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

After catching up with the first sentence, [-]% of Huang Xiaoshi's nervousness disappeared immediately, because Xu Ziyi's simple reply expressed too much meaning.

The most obvious and best understood meaning is to be willing to communicate.

Huang Xiaoshi knew a long time ago that the Xu family brothers are actually very approachable, but he has always been afraid to contact them, because Huang Xiaoshi is not sure what the consequences will be after contacting the Xu family brothers.

To put it to the extreme, Huang Xiaoshi was afraid that he was chatting with the Xu family brothers, and suddenly the other party's face darkened, and he said coldly to himself: "You [Super Tour] (information exceeds the frame of the game)." Then he slapped Come.

Strictly speaking, as a [player], that is, a time traveler, it is actually very difficult not to [super tour], more or less careless casual words, a word may be beyond the scope of this world's vocabulary.

Fortunately, thanks to Xiao Xiami’s years of tireless spamming, the language habits of this world are no longer “original”, and the risk of [Super Tour] has been reduced a lot.

Even so, Huang Xiaoshi habitually thinks about it every time he speaks, and tries to replace some words. After so many years of adaptation, Huang Xiaoshi's word habits are very close to the native aborigines.

Today is really a huge opportunity, and it is also the first time Huang Xiaoshi has encountered such a situation since he entered this world in so many years.

Xu Ziyi actually appeared here to inform himself of the news, and he didn't get up and leave immediately after "doing business".

Such a scene appeared in front of him, no matter how cowardly Huang Xiaoshi was, he knew that now was the time to go all out.

So Huang Xiaoshi took out the courage to live to death, bit the bullet and moved over.

Now it seems that it is done.

Afterwards, Huang Xiaoshi took out the black tea that Fang Yunhua had just given him, and asked the boss to bring a pot of boiling water and two tea bowls.

After brewing the black tea, Xu Ziyi drank the tea and talked to Huang Xiaoshi about "Wudang Black Tea" while Huang Xiaoshi listened respectfully.

After the pot of tea was exhausted, Xu Ziyi got up to leave, Huang Xiaoshi got up to see him off, and gave Xu Ziyi the bag of Wudang black tea.

Then the two parted ways.

……

From the eyes of others, it was just two people drinking a pot of tea in a small tea shop and chatting about tea, but Huang Xiaoshi benefited a lot.

First of all, the biggest problem.

Why did Jiang Hu Bai Xiaosheng appear in front of him.

Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng is not alone, at least Huang Xiaoshi knows that there are brothers Xu Ziyi and Xu Ziqi, and he doesn't know if there are others.

It doesn't matter who is here today, even if [Nan Xian], [Bei Chou] or anyone else appeared in front of Huang Xiaoshi, it doesn't matter who he is.

Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng represents an identity, that is GM, the game manager.

From this perspective, it is no exaggeration for Huang Xiaoshi to regard them as the "gods" of this world.

From Huang Xiaoshi's understanding, every appearance of Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng is meaningful, they will not open their identities to wander in this world, or in other words, they have a way to block other people's perception of themselves - when they don't want to be when people see it.

This is the reason why Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly.

Even a person of Fang Yunhua's level could not perceive Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng's departure, this could only be a consciousness shield.

Therefore, Jiang Hu Bai Xiaosheng appeared in front of Huang Xiaoshi, which was an extraordinary event.

Of course, Jiang Hu Bai Xiaosheng also appeared near Huang Xiaoshi many times, but only this time he came here specially for him, on those occasions where he was not here for him, Huang Xiaoshi didn't dare to strike up a conversation at all.

Thinking of this, Huang Xiaoshi's heart skipped a few beats.

This shows that Jiang Hu Bai Xiaosheng believes that what Huang Xiaoshi is doing or is about to do will have an important impact on the subsequent plot.

Now, it's time to burn your brains, Huang Xiaoshi really wants to know which thing he did will have a huge butterfly effect.

Whether it was snatching the [Sword Dao Tianshu], or teaching Yi Lan to protect her pregnancy, or transferring Shang Jingzhong, or maybe even just giving Yi Lan a hexagram, or taking in a godson.

The most difficult part of the Butterfly Effect is that unless it is reversed from the future, or has a very powerful predictive ability, it is impossible to determine which source is at the very beginning.

Now, Huang Xiaoshi fell into an extremely serious confusion of thinking.

I don't even know what I'm going to do next, why do you think I can do it?

So, can you tell me, where did I go?

In other words, I don't know what to do now, how do you know what I can do.

Can you please teach me what to do to be successful?

When thinking here, Huang Xiaoshi was completely confused.

Huang Xiaoshi needed to think fully, he threw a handful of coins on the table, got up and left the tea shop.

Walking to a rare place, Huang Xiaoshi sat under a big tree, with his back leaning against the thick trunk, and started to operate the [Neidan Zhenfa].

【Inner alchemy true method】is an entry-level inner strength, it only has one special effect.

[No-Phase Truth]: 30% of the damage is offset by the internal force value, and the mind can be stabilized during operation.

What's extremely funny is that this entry-level internal skill has inherited a high-level special effect of [Small Formless Skill], which is as ridiculous as a beggar wearing a golden crown.

It's funny, it's really funny when running the [Inner Alchemy], it can really stabilize the mind, it can help Huang Xiaoshi think, this is an extremely rare effect.

After operating the [Inner Alchemy True Method], the distracting thoughts in his mind just now disappeared, and Huang Xiaoshi's heart was clear.

Huang Xiaoshi immediately realized that he really thought too much just now.

When you don't know what to do, the easiest way is to do whatever you want.

Now that Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng has confirmed that he will create an important plot moment, it means that there are only two situations.

One is that no matter how one chooses, it "just happens" to be correct.

The second is that no matter how you choose, it doesn't really matter.

Putting aside the first inference that is too idealistic, Huang Xiaoshi thinks the second point is more reliable.

In other words, at an important plot moment, this is most likely a completed action.

Now that it's finished, it's like the exam has been handed in, no matter how worried or anxious it is, it won't help.

Then came the second question, why did Xu Ziyi stay to accept his strike-up and drank a pot of tea with him.

The answer to this question will definitely not be this kind of cleverness: because Xu Ziyi doesn't drink.

You have to understand that Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng's every move is purposeful, so it shouldn't be just for drinking tea.

Huang Xiaoshi thought of another possibility, that is, his importance in the entire [script] has increased.

When Huang Xiaoshi was a guest intern in the company, he asked the first stupid question of the eldest sister who led the newcomers in his group.

Huang Xiaoshi asked her: "Sister, you have brought so many newcomers, who will impress you?"

Huang Xiaoshi thought that the eldest sister would answer, what is humorous, what is charming, what is down-to-earth and hardworking.

In the end, the eldest sister gave Huang Xiaoshi an extremely cold answer, she said: "I only remember the one with the best performance in each session."

This is the truth.

Drinking tea is just a statement, which means that we have known each other and we will meet again in the future.

In the same way, who would Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng drink tea with?
The few with the best grades.

The best score here should not be the strongest, but a relative [important role].

In this way, I should have grown from a small shrimp in the rivers and lakes to an important pawn, no longer an insignificant role.

Now comes the third question, what is an [important role].

What is certain is that this [important role] is by no means the strongest person.

Otherwise, Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng would have contacted Wuxiazi, Dragon King, Jiang Tianxiong, or even Eunuch Chen and Heavenly King.

It is also certain that this [important role] is not the most powerful person, so the most powerful person, the emperor and King Cheng, can actually only exist as background boards.

So, how should [important role] be defined? Shouldn't every role be doomed when writing [script]?

Huang Xiaoshi suddenly realized a very important matter, which even he judged wrongly.

This matter is: why it is said that Dongfang Weiming is the protagonist.

This was originally a question that did not need to be thought about. Dongfang Weiming is not the protagonist, who is the protagonist?

However, now that Huang Xiaoshi knows, the position of the role will change.In this way, the protagonist is not decided from the beginning at all.

Then, why is Dongfang Weiming the protagonist?

This requires thinking about another pre-question: what is a role.

Huang Xiaoshi suddenly thought of the generalization of characters that the teacher gave in the literature class when he was in college.

"In any story, the character is the tool to promote the development and change of the story."

By the way, "tools that drive story development and change".

If you put it this way, it is relatively simple and clear.

[Script] is a stage, not a story.

[Story] is generated in real time on the stage of [Script], relying on the interaction between countless [Characters].

Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng can only control the direction of the [script], but he can't, can't, and shouldn't even control the performance of the [character] and stipulate what direction the [story] must take.

Yes, the audience doesn't care, and they don't pick how the story ends, they just want to see a good story.

“[Audience] just wants to see great stories.”

Huang Xiaoshi's thoughts became clear in an instant, and he felt that he had cracked the [World View] of this world.

Don't think about what kind of world this is, but imagine this world as a big stage.

There is a well-designed [script] on the stage, as well as an extremely large number of characters and countless chaotic events.

Through these chaotic events, the characters, guided by the [script], staged wonderful stage plays one after another.

What [the audience] expected most is that these stage plays are all generated in real time, so no one knows what the final outcome will be.

However, as stage plays continue to be staged repeatedly, the endings that originally appeared randomly will inevitably be repeated. When the repeated endings appear again and again, the [audience] is dissatisfied.

“[Audience] just wants to see great stories.”

However, the cost of creating a new script or changing the script is too high. At this time, someone thought of a way, which is to add some uncertain variables.

This uncertain variable is oneself, the [player].

Through the uncertainty of the [player], new changes will occur to the original elements and new stories will be generated.

As for the [player], after entering this world, how he lives, whether he will suffer physical and psychological trauma, or even die, the audience doesn't care.

“[Audience] just wants to see great stories.”

After thinking about this, Huang Xiaoshi can also understand why there is 【Heavenly Way】.

[Audience] actually doesn't care whether the world is destroyed. If there is a wonderful way to make it destroyed, [Audience] must be happy to hear about it.

However, if someone wants to destroy the world in the simplest, crudest, and most boring way, that is destroying the [audience] experience, so Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng will immediately erase this kind of person.

“[Audience] just wants to see great stories.”

This is an extremely important message.After figuring this out, Huang Xiaoshi immediately realized that the Jianghu Baixiaosheng who was once thought to be omnipotent, they only assumed the functions of [managers], and their functions and powers were actually bestowed by the [audience].

In other words, everything they do must not violate the core requirement of [audience], which is a wonderful story.

In this way, although Dongfang Weiming is involved in a lot of plots, [audience] is already tired of watching him, and Huang Xiaoshi, a shit-stirring stick that jumps left and right, is the character that [audience] likes to hear and talk about most. .

Thinking of this, Huang Xiaoshi recalled it. By the way, Fang Yunhua told himself that Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng had announced to him the news that [Sword Dao Tianshu] was about to appear in the world.

This also shows that although Fang Yunhua did not participate in the disturbance, the [audience] had high expectations for him.After all, Fang Yunhua's extreme operation of opening the harem is also extremely amazing.

Because of the expectations of the [audience], Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng hopes that he will continue to work hard, create greater glories, and make a big show in the next [plot].

It's a pity that Fang Yunhua's mood changed drastically after having a baby. Now he is like a middle-aged man in his 40s, who just wants to live in peace and stability.

This kind of role is destined to be abandoned by the [audience].

Therefore, Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng did not go to find Fang Yunhua this time, but found himself.

Now that everything has been figured out, Huang Xiaoshi's heart is filled with emptiness and joy, and there is really a feeling of enlightenment and enlightenment.

One last question:

As the [main character], the spotlight of the stage has already shone, can I get any benefits?

There are definitely benefits, and they are huge.

First of all, it is possible to get important news at the first time, which is a huge time difference benefit.

The second is that you can get a lot of gossip that others don't know.

In the original story, every time something happened, the Xu family brothers would run over to inform Weiming.If it weren't for them, Weiming would have missed many extremely important plots.

In addition to this kind of tipping on the surface, the Xu family brothers will also disclose various information intentionally or unintentionally.

Some, Weiming understood, some, Weiming didn't care, and some, Weiming didn't understand what was going on at all.

Because every life experience of Weiming is different, this leads to him only being able to understand part of the news, but the part of the news that he can understand will also be of great help to Weiming.

Thirdly, it is also the reason why Huang Xiaoshi is so concerned now.

As the [Protagonist], as long as the performance is exciting enough to make the [Audience] feel very happy, as a corresponding report, the Xu family brothers may meet some of your requirements that do not exceed their scope of authority.

Huang Xiaoshi really wanted to ask them for something, and this was his biggest knot at the moment.
