in the edge

Chapter 386 Strong yearning

A month later, Wangyou Township

"So that's why you went out."

After listening to Du Chengfeng's story, everyone in Wangyou Township began to scratch their heads. Although they could probably understand what Mr. Du had gone through during this period, many of the contents were... still a bit confusing to them. .

It was like those various worlds inside, how long ago the ancients were, how advanced they were, and so on. I heard them confused as to what they were talking about.

But they still listened, even if they didn't quite understand it, but this little thing didn't matter. If it was a big deal, they would skip it and not listen for the time being - they only needed to listen to the parts that interested them, such as the fighting part, which was already there. Mr. Du, who was like a little giant, faced a huge monster dozens of feet tall. This scene was shocking to everyone.

"It's a pity that I couldn't see it with my own eyes..."

A young man couldn't help but sigh, but immediately slapped his head.

It's a good thing that you haven't seen it with your own eyes. If you see it with your own eyes, you may die if you don't. How can ordinary people like them with no fighting ability participate in a battle of that level? No, don't even say they participated. I'm afraid they don't even deserve to watch. A little fallout would be enough to kill them on the spot.

Although even these are what they heard from Mr. Du, but how to put it...

I still want to become stronger.

The life of the strong is so rich and colorful, and the experience of the strong can be so legendary. Such a life, such an experience, let alone experience it personally, even if you can have the ability to see it with your own eyes, that would be the best. thing.

What he wanted was this sentence. He didn't need to bother explaining anything. He only needed to shoot two shots into the air, and everyone would know what was going on.

"Come on! Wait!"

In everyone's eyes, a long pole with a sharp tip that can pierce is a gun. As for what he has in his hand...

"Pistol? Are you sure this thing is called a gun?"

Just as Du Chengfeng was racking his brains to think of a solution, Liu Bolun suddenly spoke.

"This is it! As long as you use this, everyone can become a strong person!"

"Then where is the tip of its gun?"

Li Carpenter, a wooden man, was the first to raise his question.

……

"Ah yes! That's it!"

A crowd of people gathered around and looked at what Du Chengfeng was holding.

Saying this, Du Chengfeng put his hand into the bag containing the trophies with a mysterious look on his face.

So what should I do...

Du Chengfeng immediately became happy, he was just waiting for what he wanted.

"Ah, this, it's not, this thing..."

"Anyway, as long as you use this hand crossbow..."

It should be an iron piece with a handle, and it should look like a tube with a shell on it. Their intuition told them that this tube seemed to be able to spray something, but this kind of thing... can make people change. Strong?

"Of course!"

"Everyone, look over here! I'm going to start!"

Just use the hand crossbow, as long as everyone can understand it, at least everyone has reached a preliminary consensus, and no one will come out to argue.

Although they didn't say it out loud, this was already the common sigh in everyone's hearts.

"Being stronger is a good thing."

"Look here, there is a trigger, there is a mountain for aiming, and this tube looks like the place where the crossbow arrows are fired... I just don't know where the crossbow bow is. Could it be that the elasticity of the steel material is used instead of the bow arm?"

After all, this thing has nothing to do with a gun in the traditional sense. Even the rope dart is closer to the concept of a gun than this thing.

……

"I can't feel how strong this thing is..."

Du Chengfeng put the things in his hands on the table.

Du Chengfeng picked up the pistol on the table.

"I, ah, this is not the gun."

"Yes, yes! That's what I've been waiting for!"

Du Chengfeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, he met someone who understood.

"If you really want to become stronger, I have a way."

Du Chengfeng choked for a long time, and he didn't think of how to explain why this thing without a gun tip could be called a gun.

……

Originally, he just wanted to show off the treasure he got during his outing in the jungle, but who would have thought that things would actually start to get complicated - just because the gun in everyone's mind and the gun in his words were completely different things.

"Is this hand crossbow strong?"

Du Chengfeng started scratching his head.

"This is……"

Even Liu Bolun and Li Carpenter, who have little interest in fighting, also admit this fact. Regardless of whether they fight or not, becoming stronger is definitely a good thing. When you become a strong person, you will have the power to protect yourself and hold power in your hands. You can control your own destiny.

Sorry, I don't know.

Cui Yuan, who had been watching for a long time, frowned and spoke.

"This is called a pistol. It's an advanced weapon. Do you remember the story I just told? This is what those people use..."

"It should be a crossbow."

"Aren't you about to start?"

Liu Bolun, who was holding the wine jar, raised his head.

"and then?"

"...Wait for me, there was an accident."

Du Chengfeng put down his pistol and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He didn't pay attention just now, and he only realized it when he was about to shoot. Now he has practiced too much, and this pistol is really too small for him now.

His fingers couldn't even dig into the trigger guard.

But this kind of thing is okay. A living person will never suffocate to death. As long as the mind does not slip, the ideas are always more difficult than the difficulties - just like now, just ask Carpenter Li for a small wooden stick, and he will directly Solved the problem of not being able to pull the trigger.

"Everyone, get ready! I'm going to start!"

Sticking the small wooden stick into the trigger guard, Du Chengfeng was already ready to press the trigger.

"It might get loud for a moment... three, two, one!"

……

……

……

"what happened again?"

This time even Carpenter Li started scratching his head. "What happened to you again?"

"...out of bullets."

Du Chengfeng smiled awkwardly.

"That, no, this thing..."

"Oh."

Everyone responded indifferently, and then went back to their homes.

Obviously, after being teased twice in a row, they no longer believed in the power of this strange hand crossbow. Although it is indeed within the scope of their understanding to become stronger by using weapons, but this kind of thing that does not even have evil spirits...can it really make people stronger?

Thinking of this, everyone felt a little sad. This was also the biggest toothache for them. If they wanted to become stronger, they had to at least withstand the training of evil spirits. They even had to continue to withstand the pressure brought by evil spirits. If they couldn't bear it, they would Becoming a madman, even if you can withstand it, may not be a good thing.

The most obvious example is the Mr. Du in front of me. He used to be a good person, but after he became stronger, he became the virtuous person he is now. As for Mr. Xiao Cui, another relatively strong man in Wangyou Township... Although everyone wouldn't say it directly on weekdays, in fact, you can more or less feel it in life. This Mr. Xiao Cui is a bit crazy.

Maybe this is the price of becoming stronger?

"But...becoming a strong person is always a good thing."

Until nightfall, people in Wangyou Township are still recalling the stories they heard during the day.

Stories about the strong.

----------

Under the same starry sky, Jiankang Imperial City.

The young emperor is slumped on the bed. This is a sign of overtraining. Although he is recovering faster now that he is growing up, no matter how fast his recovery speed is, he cannot keep up with such rigorous training.

"It doesn't make sense, this really doesn't make sense..."

While trying to stand up so that he could soak in the bathtub filled with herbs, the young emperor shook his head.

It shouldn't be like this, things shouldn't be like this. If it was the little giant who was there, he would admit it. After all, he really couldn't be beaten. If he didn't obey, he would turn into a corpse.

But why does he continue to train even though the monster is gone? Why?

"Because you are too weak, Your Majesty."

The old eunuch floated behind the little emperor like a ghost and helped the little emperor lie down in the tub.

"So you have to become stronger...you are the emperor of Dachen."

"As the emperor...do you have to become stronger?"

The young emperor thought for a while, but couldn't connect the two words together.

He had never thought about these issues. His father died too early, so he was already the emperor from the time he could remember. Therefore, he didn't quite understand why the emperor had to become stronger. This thing was obviously something he was born with. of.

If he is an emperor, he must become stronger. In other words, if he is not an emperor, he does not need to become stronger?

Are you kidding, even if he is not the emperor, he still has to become stronger.

He must become stronger, he must become stronger, and only by becoming stronger can he be qualified to control his own destiny - to be more specific, if he is strong enough, no one can force him to do it. Training, as long as he is strong enough, he can defeat everyone who urges him to train.

Instead of being like now, soaking in a bucket of medicine with exhaustion all over his body, his whole body was limp like a floating corpse.

"...This is also part of becoming stronger."

The young emperor comforted himself in this way.

Only through training can you become stronger. At least in theory, this is true. At least for him after training, it can make him feel that he has not suffered so much in vain.

But... isn't there a way to become stronger without training?

"There should be some, right?"

The young emperor turned his head and glanced at the old eunuch beside him, but did not say this question.

There should be some. The most obvious one is the evil spirit weapon. As long as he picks it up, he can become super strong in a very short time - the only question is whether he can resist the evil spirit. This is the biggest risk.

The little emperor himself wanted to give it a try, but he also knew that the companion beside him would never allow him to do such a dangerous thing.

"Anyway... let's practice."

Thinking of this, the little emperor sighed.

"Practice, the more you practice, the stronger you will become."

The young emperor said this.

The old eunuch on the side also nodded happily after hearing this statement.

"It's great that Your Majesty can think so."

After sniffing, the old eunuch almost cried on the spot.

He once thought that he could not lead the young emperor well, and this was indeed the case. The young emperor showed no improvement under his guidance, and Da Chen was still in a precarious state. Fortunately, it was unfortunate after all. Fortunately, the young New Emperor finally met a reliable teacher.

And that reliable teacher did teach the real truth seriously.

Although that method can hardly be called teaching, but just looking at the young emperor's current obsession with becoming stronger, the old eunuch knew that at least in terms of results, this teaching was extremely successful - what classics should he study? That is a matter for the ministers, and this understanding of power and the persistence to become stronger is what an emperor really needs.

As an emperor, as the first person in the world, you must know what is most important.

This is something he cannot teach. After all, even he himself has not truly understood this level. Only by following a truly strong man can the young emperor understand what real power is.

Power means punching power.

When a person holds the power of life and death and can single-handedly decide the life or death of anyone, that person has absolute power in his hands.

He had never understood this before, and had no way to teach it to the young emperor. Fortunately, the real strong man finally came out to help.

In fact, in the past few days, the old eunuch often wondered whether there was really some kind of fate. It was clear that the late emperor gave the title of Grand Master to appease the strong man who was a rebel, but now it seems that Come, the other party actually did what a grand master should do - it can even be said that this is the best grand master in the history of Da Chen, even though this grand master can't read any sages' books.

But it is such a number one person who has some knowledge that is most direct to the essence.

And now, this knowledge that should have been passed down by Emperor Taizu Gao has finally returned to the hands of the royal family.

It also fell into his hands.

"I also need to become stronger."

The old eunuch was also thinking silently in his heart.

Yes, he also has to become stronger. At least before the young emperor truly becomes strong, he must first become strong enough to be able to protect the young emperor from the wind and rain, and be strong enough to face All unknown risks.

Everyone wants to become stronger.

Not only the old eunuch wanted to become stronger, Shan Bing also wanted to become stronger, Jiang Wenyuan also wanted to become stronger, and the remnant soldiers who participated in the Jiankang Interdiction War wanted to become stronger even more - anyone who had experienced it Those who fight all have a heart to become stronger. They have all seen the unparalleled heroic appearance of strong men, so how could they not want to become stronger?

You must become stronger, you must become a strong person, this is an era that belongs to the strong, you must become a strong person.

"You must become strong."

That night, almost everyone was thinking this way.

They want to become stronger.

They want to be strong.
