The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 890 What is Confidence?
"boom--"

The force of the fist created a circular wave that spread over the bridge pier.

The unicorn flew out horizontally and kept rising and falling against the river surface, just like a pebble thrown while floating in the water. After landing, it plowed a small ravine in the wet shallows, and finally hit the river embankment with a "boom" sound. , hitting a spider web-like crack in the cement wall.

The reaction force of Wang Zikai's punch pushed him and Zhang Wei flying towards a half-broken bridge pier behind them.

Wang Zikai landed safely on the bridge pier, looked down at his fist, and suddenly became elated: "Zhang Wei! I just beat Qilin!"

"Yes!" Zhang Wei continued to activate [Confidence]: "Kaishen, you are worthy of being a sequence zero [Destiny]! Not to mention a unicorn, even if a dragon comes, you will only be given shoes!"

"Hahahaha!" Wang Zikai became more and more confident: It's a pity, it's a pity, that boy Gao Yang is not here, otherwise I will blind him with his handsomeness!

"Kaishen is mighty!" Zhang Wei struck while the iron was hot: "Let's go! Kill Qilin!"

"Kill Qilin! Oh no, gods can't kill people, it's too humiliating..."

"Don't bother Kai, leave this dirty work to me!" Gao Yang had already told Zhang Wei that Wang Zikai couldn't kill anyone, so he pulled out his black gold pistol: "Knock him out, and I'll make up for it!"

"no problem!"

Wang Zikai jumped hard, jumped continuously on the bridge piers on the river, and quickly reached the shore.

……

The battle at Qingyang Bridge turned Wang Zikai and Zhang Wei into "conjoined children". It was Gao Yang's arrangement and the last trump card.

Gao Yang did not want Wang Zikai to fight Qilin at close range unless absolutely necessary, because the effect of this move was only based on speculation and could not be confirmed.

On the night of discussing tactics, after Tiangu understood [Requiem], Gao Yang immediately put into action an experiment that had been lingering in his mind for a long time, which was to test whether Zhang Wei's [confidence] could be immune to mental talents.

Jiu Si had not officially merged with the Chinese Zodiac before, and there were no spiritually gifted members within Jiu Si, so the experiment was shelved.

That night, Gao Yang asked Tengu and Zhang Wei to stay in the same room, and then asked Tengu to sing.

Gao Yang relied on [Spiritual Arms] and a charm value approaching 3000 to easily resist Level 1 [Requiem], but Zhang Wei fell asleep directly.

Gao Yang was disappointed, but he did not give up easily and suspended the experiment.

Everyone formulated preliminary tactics, and Gao Yang called Zhang Wei into the room and had a long talk.

Gao Yang mainly asked Zhang Wei about the first time he woke up from the "Hell's Poison" and when he realized that his immunity to poisons was higher than that of ordinary people.

Zhang Wei said everything exactly. On the night of the Scarlet Tide, he was poisoned and fell down. He was extremely afraid of dying, so he kept deceiving himself and others. To put it mildly, it was a psychological suggestion.

——The poison won’t kill me, the poison won’t kill me, the poison won’t kill me…

Zhang Wei kept repeating these four-character mantra in his mind until he fell into coma.

It seems that after the Scarlet Tide, Zhang Wei discovered that his immunity to toxins was higher than that of ordinary people.

Gao Yang thought for a moment and said casually, pretending to be natural: "Is your [confidence] also immune to mental talents?"

"Ah? Is there any?" Zhang Wei blinked blankly.

"Yes, before Tengu sang, you persisted for more than ten seconds before falling asleep." Gao Yang lied: "Most people fall asleep in less than five seconds."

"Really!" Zhang Wei's eyes lit up and his confidence immediately increased.

"Of course, I am the heir of the gods and I will never misjudge anyone." Gao Yang continued to make nonsense: "You know I have [Luck]. This is a passive talent. It seems useless, but it is actually very useful. One of them is to see People are very accurate. Your [confidence] seems useless, but it is actually very strong, and you can be immune to poisons, illusions and mental damage."

"But your talents need to be matched. Just like my [Luck], it is useless alone. Once you understand other talents, you will be very powerful."

"When you say that, it's true!" Zhang Wei was enlightened.

"Of course, you will be as strong as me sooner or later." Gao Yang patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and gave him a highly affirmative smile.

After listening to Gao Yang's words, Zhang Wei went back to his room to sleep. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he suffered from insomnia until dawn.The next afternoon, Gao Yang asked Tiangu to sing to Zhang Wei again.

Zhang Wei concentrated his attention this time and fell asleep in almost ten seconds.

Gao Yang clicked his tongue in his heart: Could it be that my guess was wrong and Zhang Wei is really a "waste"?
At this time, Tengu gave a thumbs up to Zhang Wei, who was lying on the sofa and snoring: "Cool."

Gao Yang was angry and funny: "Is this cool?"

"My [Requiem] is already at level two." Tengu said, "Zhang Wei has made some progress."

Gao Yang suddenly became enlightened!
——It seems that my guess is right!

Zhang Wei's [confidence] belongs to "idealism". Once he thinks he can do it, he can really do it to a certain extent.

In the next two days, Gao Yang caught Zhang Wei and conducted various experiments, and came to a relatively reliable conclusion:

[Confidence] is a talent that achieves immunity to damage by building self-confidence. The stronger the self-confidence, the better the effect.

The current experimental results are as follows:

Poison Damage: Moderate immunity.

Elemental damage: slightly immune.

Physical damage: slightly immune.

Psychic Damage: Almost completely immune.

Spiritual damage: Unknown.

Gao Yang told Zhang Wei the conclusions of the experiment. Zhang Wei's doubts and inferiority complex over the years were wiped away. He unswervingly accepted the truth and consolidated his self-confidence.

With this confidence, Zhang Wei went to listen to Tengu singing again. This time, facing Level 3 [Requiem], Zhang Wei was not sleepy at all.

From this, Gao Yang began to further explore the limits of Zhang Wei's [confidence], for example, whether he could help others become immune to harm.

After another two days of complicated attempts, Gao Yang came to an astonishing conclusion: Zhang Wei's [confidence] can help people around him provide psychological suggestions.

But the premise is that you need to get along with the target day and night for a long time, constantly hinting, and helping the target build self-confidence. Then the target will also obtain an immunity effect. Although this immunity effect is not as good as Zhang Wei, it is still considerable.

Gao Yang then made a bold decision to keep Zhang Wei and Wang Zikai inseparable, while constantly instilling one thing in Wang Zikai: he is a god and can be immune to [everything].

Zhang Wei began to spare no effort to execute.

He went online to study a lot of MLM videos and learn brainwashing techniques. Through constant encouragement and observation of Wang Zikai's reaction and excitement to different compliments, he finally refined a word that seemed to have a fatal attraction for Wang Zikai. Strength is simply his "stimulant", that is:
——Kaishen!
Zhang Wei immediately equated the concepts of "Kaishen" and "immunity to all phenomena" and continued to brainwash Wang Zikai, convincing him that "Kaishen" could be immune to [everything].

However, [Requiem] and [Wanxiang] cannot be generalized. No one can guarantee whether Zhang Wei and Wang Zikai will be safe against [Wanxiang].

Therefore, the original plan was carried out first: Douhu held back the puppet controlled by Qilin, and everyone concentrated their fire to attack Qilin, making Li unable to predict, and then allowing Wang Zikai to find an opportunity to launch a bone spur sneak attack.

If the mission fails, retreat.

But if the mission fails and their companions are still in danger, the "confident combination" of Wang Zikai and Zhang Wei must take risks, face off against Qilin, and cover their companions' retreat.

And if Zhang Wei can really help himself and Wang Zikai to be immune to [Everything], the situation of the battle will even be directly reversed.

But if Gao Yang's guess is wrong, Wang Zikai and Zhang Wei are likely to die.

Gao Yang didn't want the situation to come to this point, but as a leader, he had no choice. Everyone was working hard, and no one was special, including himself.

Gao Yang has always kept in mind Manshe's teachings: What a leader must always ensure is final victory, not immediate kindness.
