Chapter 153 Friends and Connections

Chapter 150 Friends and Connections

Sitting in front of a stone tablet, Fang Jie thought about and sorted out his current mentality of making friends while repairing the durability of the blood knife.

Yes, it is the mentality of making friends rather than some upgrade route, nor is it a matter of choosing martial arts.

Perhaps for ordinary people, this is not worth thinking and sorting out at all, just go with the situation, why waste time and energy thinking about these things?

But for Jay Fang, an extreme realist, someone who doesn't want to lose money, who never trusts people first, this is a very difficult question, and it violates some of his principles, even though he is not now. He rejects being with "friends", but he always feels a little awkward and uneasy in his heart, so he has to calm down and think about it, and ask why. Only after he understands these can he face it calmly. .

In just a few days, Fang Jie felt a sudden obvious change in himself. Before, he only thought about leveling alone and experiencing the thrill of the game by himself, and was afraid that other people would cause him "trouble". It is to mix with people every day, and the trouble is a bit troublesome, but it has gained a lot of benefits and obtained many unexpected results.

These benefits are not simply how much money you have earned or what cheats you have obtained, but a very subtle causal relationship. Individually, it is not a big deal, but together, it becomes very subtle.

Since it is beneficial, it means that "making friends" has "use value". Including the invisible, intangible but imperceptible causal relationship that promotes the development of things.

"Then why did you always find it troublesome before..." Fang Jie asked himself, then shook his head and smiled. In fact, this question is very simple. Fundamentally speaking, it is because he does not trust others. Believe that others can bring benefits to you. In other words, if you believe too much in your own abilities and feel that other people are of no use value to you, or the use value is not high, you will find it troublesome.

Fang Jie has always believed that the relationship between people is the relationship between using and being used, but is this also the case between friends?If so, why is my attitude towards Jing Lin and Can Jian different from my attitude towards Wang Qing?If it was purely for use, why didn't Wangqing help him instantly fill up the conditions for the Disguise Technique?Is it male chauvinism or self-esteem?Do you have a different idea about Wangqing?Or are you saying that you have self-abuse tendencies?

If not, what do friends rely on to maintain the relationship?Feelings?Even love is hard to last forever, let alone friendship?Could it be that I have a good character and Jing Lin, Can Jian and Wang Qing just want to help me selflessly?Or is it that they are full and have nothing to do to come and watch me, a waste of martial arts, play a monkey show?Or is it really like they say, I am very interesting and want to be with me?But where am I interesting?Is it too comical in appearance, or too tragic in character?
For a while, countless question marks popped up in Fang Jie's head, and some of the questions even felt a little weird to him. After thinking carefully for a while, he gave himself an affirmative answer, and more clearly figured out a few "interpersonal use". Argument":
Value needs to be determined.Whether you have value depends on what others need from you; whether others have value depends on what you need from others.The more satisfied you are with other people's needs, the more valuable you are; the less satisfied you are with other people's needs, the less valuable you are.

When you can't meet other people's needs, you are worthless; when others can't meet your needs, others are worthless.In other words, only high-value people can get high-value things when they exchange benefits with others, and your needs can be highly satisfied.

If you want to befriend someone, or make some kind of deal with him, then you have to be able to offer some kind of benefit, meet some kind of need in him.Only when people exchange interests with each other and meet each other's needs can they establish a close relationship with each other.When you do not have the ability to provide the other party with the benefits he needs, it means that your relationship with him is a "no relationship" relationship.

This is why, in general, it is difficult for people with money and people without money, people with power and people without power to establish a close relationship with each other, and it is difficult to become friends, because one of them is more important to the other. It is said that the degree of satisfaction is too low, and the two parties cannot exchange the equivalents they need, and there is no basis for interests.

At this point in the analysis, Fang Jie suddenly realized why he didn't want to let Wangqing help him. At first he thought that asking Wangqing to help him was cheating, and he lost the pleasure. Now it seems that the essence is because he and Wangqing are just A "no relationship" relationship, although he rigidly priced this "no relationship" relationship with 1 taels of gold, but in the end, because the gap was too large, he felt that he had little use value for Wangqing. Those few foolish words could hardly form the basis for equivalent exchange, so they avoided them intentionally or unintentionally.

But Jinglin and Canjian are different. Everyone's situation is similar. Even though Canjian learned the evil sword technique, he was judged as a teacher because of his lack of internal strength. Therefore, Fang Jie felt that the basis for an equivalent exchange could be established between the three of them. Yes, even if he helped me today, I might be able to help him tomorrow, and I have the ability to help him. Subconsciously, Fang Jie knows that the relationship between friends can only be long-term if it is based on this kind of equivalent exchange. and firm.

Thinking of this, Fang Jie couldn't help but smile. Jing Lin once said that his feelings are too closed. In fact, in essence, he is just looking for a more eternal relationship. Whether it is love, friendship or family affection, he wants to be fixed and stable. Either don't talk about feelings, talk about feelings, he hopes that it will be a lifetime thing, and establish an unbreakable relationship.

After sorting out the "interpersonal utilization theory", Fang Jie deepened and reflected on it, and clarified his goals.

The so-called "people are divided into groups, and things of a kind flock together".People are divided into groups based on the value of the exchange items. Generally, only when the exchange items are of equal value will there be an exchange relationship with each other.Those who have barter of high value will naturally form a close class, and those who have barter of low value will also naturally form a close class.It is difficult for people who have low-value exchanges for a long time to become friends with those who have high-value exchanges for a long time-because there is no basis for mutual interest, this basis is: equivalent exchange.

No one wants to exchange a high-value thing for a low-value thing.Therefore, the poor have no rich friends, and the rich have no poor friends.

This is the same whether it is in reality or in the game.Those masters in the game will only be in contact with masters, and they are willing to contact masters in their hearts. Even if they are enemies, defeating the opponent can at least bring them spiritual pleasure.It's hard to imagine that a peerless master would become friends with a little-known little person. When Jing Lin was the number one master of the Emei School, she only thought that Fang Jie was interesting, so she became closer to him, but she didn't feel like this in her heart now. He regards Fang Jie as a reliable friend.

And Fang Jie also knows very well that even now, Jing Lin and Can Jian may only follow him because they think Fang Jie is a "potential stock". They will also gradually renounce and throw away this "junk stock" that they misunderstood. Of course, in essence, Fang Jie thinks the same about these two people.

Therefore, Fang Jie realized that only by continuously improving his value can he maintain the relationship between friends for a long time. Moreover, the higher the value, the more friends he will have in the future, and the more friends, it means that he can continue To exchange various needs in a timely manner to achieve the purpose of maximizing resource utilization.

"Help others and then be helped by others... But first of all, you must have the ability and qualifications to help others..." Thinking of this, Fang Jie suddenly thought of the medicine pot. Helping myself, not only quickly developed skills, but also made countless friends. Fang Jie was even sure that the top masters of all factions must have intersected with him. If the medicine tank raises its arms, the world may be in chaos.

"Communication is exchange. If a person has nothing to exchange with others, he is a person of no value to others. Of course, such a person has no friends." After continuing to deepen, Fang Jie felt a little proud: "There is A person who is a friend is a person of value, it seems that I have not reached the point of being useless..."

Thinking of this, Fang Jie still felt a little uneasy. After careful deliberation, he realized that it might be because this kind of interpersonal utilization theory was too straightforward and naked, which made him feel a little bit conspiracy theory. It seems a great shame to be taken advantage of by others.

But after thinking about it, Fang Jie smiled with peace of mind. In fact, being able to be used by others is something to be proud of.Being used by others means that there is value that can be used, and those who have no value will not be used by others.People who are useless are pathetic.People with value of use are one hundred times or even ten thousand times stronger than those without value!
The so-called "mutual benefit" or "mutual help" is actually advocating mutual use. Human value can only be reflected by being used by others. People who have no use value have no friends, and those who have use value have friends.Therefore, the richer people have more friends, the poorer people have fewer friends.

Of course, many people think that a friend who has no motive for profit is a true friend, or even a friend.

But in Fang Jie's view, this is a very naive and childish point of view.There are no friends in the world who do not make friends for profit. Using each other is the basis of friendship. In fact, you don’t have to care about other people’s intention to use you. As long as he has no intention of harming others, he is not your enemy. The way of harming you is to exchange interests with you, then his intention is sincere—he is sincerely exchanging interests with you.

If you ask others to dedicate everything to you selflessly, and use this as the criterion for whether the other party is a true friend, not only can others not do it, but you can't even do it yourself.Such unilateral demands are not only absurd, but also immoral.People who ask others to be selfless are often the most selfish themselves, and the loneliest people are also the most selfish. It is only natural that selfish people can't find friends.

"I'm still too selfish..." Thinking of how few friends he had counted, Fang Jie laughed at himself after reflection, but on second thought, with his current strength, even if he wanted to make more friends Friends, there is nothing you can do, after all, there is no use value, you can't always rely on making some puzzles to exchange with others, right?
Thinking of this, Fang Jie couldn't help being taken aback, secretly thinking logically, not to mention making other friends, it's hard to maintain these few people now, but after these people know that he is a waste of martial arts, They all said they wanted to help him, which made people feel a little baffling.

Thinking about it carefully, Fang Jie was the first to rule out Jing Lin. After all, at present, his value is obviously higher than that of Jing Lin, who has regressed in martial arts for half a year. On the one hand, as long as he is willing, the friendship between the two can be maintained normally.

But Can Jian is a bit strange, firstly, he has known each other for less than two days, and secondly, Can Jian has learned the evil sword technique, even if he has no internal strength, he is still a very powerful person, and when he met, he said that he would help him kill Huashan sect disciples In the end, he was judged accidentally... Let's believe that he was really careless. After the judge learned that he was a waste of martial arts, he immediately said that he would help him. If he said that he was helping him, he was helping himself?Moreover, died once at the end?
What do you mean by helping me is helping him?Could it be that without me, he can't become a teacher again?Can't do the task?Is my waste of martial arts so popular?Inexplicable...

For a while, Fang Jie couldn't figure it out. After all, Can Jian paid too much unilaterally, and when he was brushing the dungeon with Shangguan Haoran and the beggar in the beggar, his tone was obviously loyal, but since the other party said this The words must have meant something, but they just didn't explain it, so let's put this question aside for the time being.

Looking back at Wangqing, Fang Jie thought about it, but he couldn't find any reason for Wangqing to follow him... Could it be that he just found me interesting?Or do you think my spiritual realm is higher than hers?Or are you really neurotic?This is too ridiculous...By the way, could it be that he thinks of me as that person and wants to find a spiritual sustenance?

Thinking of this, Fang Jie shook his head, thinking that the last one was the most likely, but even so, he felt that Wangqing had no reason to follow him all night. The onlookers followed as if they were watching a show, which made it hard for Fang Jie to accept.

After thinking about it for a long time, but still unable to find a suitable reason, Fang Jie simply put it down for the time being, and fixed the analysis target on the sun... This man is a wonderful person, maybe he helps others just for the sake of spirituality in a pure sense Pleasure, even he himself doesn't know about it, so there is nothing to talk about, anyway, there is no intersection right now.

Next, Fang Jie analyzed Tang Ke, Tang Le, Hu Hua, Bai Ning and others again, but at present, there is too little interaction with these people, that is, no exchange has been formed. As for blood sincerity, it remains to be seen. Mention it.

The last person is the medicine jar.Speaking of getting to know the medicine pot, Fang Jie felt that he seemed to be too good-natured. He unexpectedly met a superb character in the BJ Pharmacy for the first time, and what was even more unbelievable was that he casually said a few words. The recipe for poison making and detoxification, the other party actually said that he wanted to cooperate with him?

After much deliberation, Wangqing, Canjian, Medicine Jar, and Xuecheng all have some problems. Although they all have their own reasons, Fang Jie feels that he, a waste of martial arts, doesn't seem to be that valuable. It is not as simple as imagined.

But no matter what, since these people have not lost their own interests, and have even been helping him, Fang Jie naturally has no reason to get to the bottom of it. The reason why he sorts out these friends who have interacted with him is just to understand himself more clearly value, to be a person who knows good and bad, and a person who is useful to friends.

From afternoon to night, Fang Jie sat in meditation while thinking about these seemingly unimportant issues that would have an important impact on his mentality and future growth, until midnight when he received a reminder from Can Jian Text message, he just woke up.

"Many friends have many paths. History has proven that it is wrong to close the country. We have to learn to reform and open up..." Fang Jie chuckled, looked around, looked at the countless players who were sitting in meditation, and couldn't help mumbling He muttered to himself: "It may not be possible for one person, and it may take a long time, but with contacts, the ultimate goal may not be impossible to achieve... Who said that all masters are lonely? Hehehe!"

Thinking of this, Fang Jie smiled, got up and left.
