Fishing Druid in Another World
Chapter 172 Money Power
There are about 6,000 goblins living in the Cone Tooth Tribe.
In a sense, this is the population limit that the tribe can accommodate.
Even these "earth monkeys" who have always lacked authoritative historical records and did not pay attention to reviewing the past and learning the new know that the great war is imminent.
They can't explain why, but they know that once the number of people exceeds a certain limit, a big war will inevitably occur. Either they will be promoted to a large tribe, or enough members will die.
Therefore, even at night, the entire tribal village is still brightly lit and they don't hesitate to consume firewood because they are preparing for the war.
These are a little far away from Robo, or there is a gap, just like watching a movie across the screen.
The place where he lives is the highest earthen mountain nearby. This is the divine domain of the totem god. Normally, 95% of the Cone Tooth Goblins are not even qualified to go up the mountain.
Even the remaining 5% rarely come here to avoid affecting the practice of the totem god.
So Robo can relax and appreciate the scene of primitive civilization.
It can be said that it is also unique.
He didn't look bored and just sat there to watch the show.
Instead, he was busy all day and wanted to take a break and relax.
The nightmare soul refining has been arranged almost.
The soul-stealer captured by Zerath has been properly handled. After repeated cleaning for many days, its brain accounts for more than 80% of its body, and it has become a qualified nightmare container.
Not long ago, he just finished instilling information and is currently generating nightmare scripts.
Next, it is the legendary next dungeon to hone.
Only in this way can time be used more efficiently and his soul strength and spiritual realm be quickly improved. So as to achieve overtaking on the soul side in the main material world.
Otherwise, if you blindly advance in the mode of a child dancing with a big knife, the opponents you encounter will become stronger and stronger. Sooner or later, fishing treasure + natural shelter will not be able to cover the bottom, and the opponent will seize the weakness and directly overturn.
The reason is simple, but it is very difficult to do it.
There is a classic line in "House of Cards": There are two kinds of pain, one makes you stronger, and the other is worthless and only adds to the torture.
Robo has a premonition that the upcoming heart training is to feel pain. As for which kind it is, it depends on whether his mind becomes more resilient or is hit hard in the process.
"It's better to do it today than today. It's just asking for trouble. However, no matter how big a failure this is, there is a pre-set bottom line. If something goes wrong in reality, it is likely to be irreparable..."
This is Robo's understanding of nightmare heart training.
After all, he still believes in the words in "The Matrix": What is true? How do you define true? If true is something you can feel, the smell you can smell, and the taste you can taste, then this truth is the electronic signal that your brain recognizes and responds to.
Someone else said that the world is not made up of atoms, but stories.
There is another saying: Stories are fake, but feelings are real.
Luo Bo felt that what these words expressed were all correct.
To put it bluntly, human memory information is a story, one's own story, other people's story, the story of everything, short stories, long stories, all kinds of stories.
So, is it important whether these stories are true or false?
Luo Bo felt that the key point is not whether the story is true or false, but the size of the touch.
If you are sincere, a false story can also be a cognitive enlightenment and be remembered for a lifetime. If you are not sincere, the truth that can't be true anymore will be forgotten as soon as you turn your face.
Therefore, if nightmares are true and sincere, they will also be part of the truth of life, and you will benefit from it, but you will also bear the cost of being stimulated by it and causing various negative effects.
Therefore, this growth is basically watered by pain, and it is another process of repeatedly straining muscles and strengthening them in healing again and again.
There is psychological preparation, but it is useless. The nightmare refining spirit is not to help him improve the attribute of self-confidence, which is actually arrogance, in the process of cheating and pretending again and again.
Therefore, in the setting link, amnesia is used as a method to make him temporarily forget a lot of information.
He forgot that he had a very powerful cheat, and also forgot that he could call slaves and beat high-level extraordinary people in just two months after crossing.
In his current memory, he was just a rookie who had just crossed over.
The golden finger also has, first, money ability. It can't compare with the Gotham brother Wayne, but with the death of his grandfather who had been living on a tube a few months ago, he inherited a fortune of ten figures of US dollars, and the legal team has completed the formalities.
The second golden finger is a handsome face that everyone loves and flowers bloom, which can be compared with Leo during the Titanic period.
With such a pair of golden fingers, it is definitely a model of being born in Rome, which is great.
However, along with this golden finger, there is also a legacy.
That is, the original owner of the body died of evil, and it seemed that the body was vacant, but he, the soul-crossed person, took over the nest first.
That's right, everyone loves good things, and demons are no exception!
Blocking his way to enjoy the rest of his life, and wanting his life, even if the other party is a demon, he has to do his best to argue with the other party!
‘Bang bang! ’
“Come in.”
The door opened, and an old woman with an abstinence temperament came in.
His real age is not particularly old, he is in his early forties, but he dresses in an old-fashioned way, with a solemn and cold expression. He also wears black-rimmed glasses. His workplace attire is iron gray, with a simple and colorless style. He walks with a windy, half-heeled look. The thumping sound of the shoes was like beating a marching drum.
After all this, the witch-like demeanor of hating all warm people and things comes to my face.
"Brian, this is the information you want."
Robbo didn't say anything, but stood up, walked to the door, and closed the door.
The door is left open, which is a detail operation to avoid suspicion.
But Rob now needs to do something private.
After closing the door, he strode up to the woman, getting closer than a foot away.
Surprise flashed in the woman's eyes, but she didn't take a step back.
Robb said: "Marian, please seriously consider this question, how can I please you?"
The woman didn't speak, but her brows gradually furrowed.
Robbo pulled some distance away and smiled: "It seems that going straight into this topic is too abrupt. Even if you are as powerful as you, you still feel uncomfortable."
As he said that, he walked to the small bar and started to manipulate the utensils: "Want a cup of coffee? I know you have always kept yourself clean and rarely drink alcohol."
Marianne's originally tense body relaxed somewhat. Then he said with a cold face: "Is there something bad that needs to be repaired? Or is there a large amount of expenditure?"
Robbo did not speak in a hurry, but processed the freshly ground coffee, then handed the cup to Marianne, and gestured to sit down.
Marianne took the coffee but did not sit down or drink it.
Luo Bo put his coffee on the desk, then leaned on the edge of the desk, folded his arms, and said: "Looking back on the past, if you have to say you have any shortcomings, you are not very qualified as a life coach. ”
Then he pointed at himself: "This is your work. We all know that you have your helplessness. There are too many constraints and interferences in reality. But no matter what, Victor personally handed me into your hands and Something to look forward to.”
Marianne was disapproving at first. In her opinion, Brian was very innovative and outspoken, but this time his style was completely different from the past.
It wasn't until I heard the last sentence that I felt at ease.
Brian was the sixth generation of the Green family. During the third generation, the family fell into decline, leaving only one butler who stayed with them, and this butler was Marianne's great-grandfather.
In the old days in the East, there was the so-called family-born son, and in the West there were also people who served the master for generations.
Among them, housekeepers are professional and have real power and trust, which is often greater than that of their children.
Even in modern times, it is not uncommon for inheritance from father to son, such as funeral rites, housekeeping, etc.
Marianne and Brian's grandfather Victor have a deep relationship, similar to an old father and a young daughter.
After Brian's parents "accidentally" died, Marianne's role was somewhat like Alfred Pennyworth (Alf), who raised Bruce Wayne alone.
Of course, the specifics haven't reached that level yet, but on weekdays it does fit the concept of parents as legal guardians more than Brian's other family members.
So after Robbo traveled through time, he thought his first crisis was how to deal with this woman who knew Brian better than Brian himself.
Thanks to the original Brian, after inheriting the inheritance, he once again became evil and drove Marianne away from him, giving him some time to adapt.
But he knew that sooner or later he would have to face it, and it was better to take the initiative than to be passive, so this happened.
Luo Bo continued: "From the perspective of inheritance, if I can't become a talent, it's actually okay to become a loser. Spend a lot of time, eat, drink and have fun, as long as I don't gamble, the inheritance is enough for me to enjoy for a lifetime. When future generations come up with talents, we can revitalize That's it for the Green family.
What I fear most is that I have no idea of my own abilities. I am not good at it, but I still act like a person, and I still don’t know how to learn lessons.
The upper class circles are full of wolves, foxes, and sharks. Even after a few projects, tens of millions of dollars can be defrauded. "
Marianne showed obvious surprise, and she was a little impressed.
If these words were not made by Brian's friends, but were his own insights, then it at least meant that Brian had at least had the awareness to introspect and self-examine himself.
It is easy to defeat the enemy, but it is difficult to defeat yourself. But to defeat yourself, you must first know yourself. This step is so important.
"I was deeply touched by what happened a few days ago."
Marianne knew that what Rob was referring to was specifically another incident eight days ago, when Brian made such a fuss that it was so serious that he was eventually sent to the ICU for rescue.
Although he recovered quickly thanks to the young man's strong vitality, according to the intelligence analysis sent by the secret wire she arranged, Brian's temperament has changed a lot since then.
But now, she is more and more certain that her temperament has changed drastically, as if there is another soul in her skin.
Just listen to Robbo continue: "From a certain perspective, the past Brian is dead.
To you, these words are probably very consistent with the style of Brian you remember, which is unconventional, exaggerated, alarmist, sensational, coupled with the rambling of clumsy lies. "
Marianne no longer acted indifferent. She stared at Rob and said, "So, you are not Brian? Or need I ask, who are you?"
Luo Bo shook his head: "No, the last thing I want to struggle with is precisely this issue. Because before this, I was a dishonest person in front of you, a naughty child who has not grown up, or even a giant baby. I can't even bear the corresponding responsibilities. No courage.
When encountering problems, they will only quibble and blame others. If it doesn't work, they will deny it and pretend to be stupid.
On this basis, anything I say will be discounted.
Then, some topics that are too contrary to common sense will not be discussed for the time being. "
Marianne nodded: "Except for the sudden frankness that shocked me, everything else is fine."
Luo Bo laughed: "I actually want face too, or rather, I always want it too much, I want to be recognized, especially from people close to me.
However, just like in every nest, the closer they get, the more unscrupulous they become.
Fortunately, I have money, and people outside tolerate me, tolerate me, and support me for the sake of money.
Otherwise, he will be the kind of pitiful person who is kind to outsiders but can be bullied, even groveling, bossy to his family, and unreasonable, and can cause trouble. "
There was also a smile on Marianne's face, and she said meaningfully: "Yes, you are rich."
Luo Bo continued this topic: "When it comes to money, the problem comes.
I had a close call not long ago, and then I thought about some deeper questions.
Including what I want, what I don’t want to lose.
After thinking for a long time, I discovered that it was actually money.
If I get sick, I need to queue up to enjoy medical benefits like those at the bottom. I need to wait until I recover naturally or die directly. I have no choice but to spend money on medical treatment. Regardless of whether I can be cured, I will have to pay off my debts for the rest of my life, or be in the hospital. Tramp, it's better to just burn him to death.
Life requires quality. People should not come to this world to suffer. "
Marianne took a sip of coffee and sat in the chair opposite the desk. Pretending to be willing to have a long conversation, he said, "I can't refute your final summary."
Luo Bo continued: "I didn't realize that I love money so much before. Now that I think about it, it's because I have always been too close to them. Or I have so many that I feel that I have them for granted, and I don't need them as much as breathing air. care."
"So, what is it? It made you change your opinion so much."
Luo Bo said: "To explain it in one sentence, it means sitting up in shock when dying. There is great terror between life and death. If you don't die once, you don't know the preciousness of life. But knowing the preciousness of life, other sober cognitions will follow. Here it is. The truth has always been there, and I understand it, but I have never been distracted in the past.”
Marianne nodded slightly and commented slightly arrogantly: "It's a logical statement."
Robbo didn't care. He also knew that Marianne had already begun to test whether he was acting or whether he was speaking from his heart. This meant that what he said above had sufficiently touched Marianne.
He continued: "I looked at myself and realized that I was a rich wretch. I was obviously not qualified to be the helmsman of the Green ship.
It is not simply because of youth and lack of experience, but more importantly because of lack of knowledge and skills in the past. And my opponents are too powerful. Whether they are internal competitors within the board of directors or external competitors, they all have overt and covert means to teach me how to be a good person.
I also thought about maybe trying something like hiding my identity, starting from a young age, and accumulating experience bit by bit.
Unfortunately, this handsome face has become a burden. If I hadn't happened to be rich, I believe I should be adopted by some rich woman now, or of course it might be a man.
In short, beauties have had a bad life since ancient times. If you are too good in some aspects and do not have the power to protect it, then there will probably be no good results. "
"Your understanding of the dark side of human society has surprised me deeply." Marianne was obviously more sincere when she said this.
Luo Bo smiled: "I'll just assume that half of your compliments are sincere."
"Humble, at least eight points."
"Okay, then I regard this as a good start. I know that I am not good at it, and I may even fail more and more the more I struggle, fall into the trap set by others, and lose my family fortune.
So I need someone who can do it. Looking around, I found that I could only look for you.
This brings us back to the original topic, how do I please you? Please give it some serious thought. "
Marianne smiled: "I will feel happy being an excellent heir."
Robbo nodded: "Well, I think this is indeed part of it. It can make you feel a little happy, or comforted. You have an explanation for Victor, and all the previous efforts have been rewarded. The flowers of the Green family Young Master, he finally took the right path and became a decent man.”
Marianne said aggressively: "It sounds like you know how to make me happy better than I do?"
"That's a bit too arrogant to say. It should be said that I have an answer that I think will make you happy.
I chose the open and honest mode and made a series of foreshadowings, hoping that you would reciprocate what I thought was sincerity and tell you the answer I thought you had. "
"It sounds awkward, but I understand the meaning. What if my answer is not what you want? What will you do? Will you become angry from shame?"
Luo Bo said solemnly: "I will spend all my wealth, enjoy myself for a few more days, and then die."
Marianne looked calm and sat up straight: "Are you threatening me?"
"I don't think so myself. As the saying goes, face one enemy at a time.
This one enemy already requires me to go all out. If I don't have a helper who I can trust with all my heart, I think I will definitely die.
In this case, I will give up struggling and enjoy myself for a few days. "
Marian put down the coffee cup, pointed to the information she brought on the table, and asked: "Are you referring to these?"
Robo shrugged helplessly: "It still turned out like this. I think I have tried my best, but at this point, you still regard it as a poor excuse to insult your intelligence.
I can understand that people are often willing to believe only what they want to believe.
And for other possibilities, or the so-called truth, they sneer.
Take this matter, for example, you think it is too bizarre, too subversive, and too contrary to common sense. You think you understand what I have encountered and what happened better than me. You have even speculated whether I have a mental illness, even though my logic is clear and my words are coherent.
Trust, how can I get this kind of thing back, especially when time is obviously not enough. ”
Marianne said earnestly: "I can try to accept your theory, we can move forward and try to resolve the differences, how about that?"
"No, I can't drag you down. Because this is the minimum dignity of a human being." As he said that, Rob went to the back of the desk, took out a file bag, and pushed it to Marianne.
"I consulted a legal advisor anonymously. Here is the authorization letter, including a medical diagnosis that can prove that the document was signed in a sane state of mind, and a video recording. Take it, and you will be the latest heir to the estate. "
Marianne stared at Rob with a gloomy face, without blinking.
Rob did not give in and looked at him frankly.
After a while, Marianne took out the latest mobile phone, similar to Nokia 8110 (1996, used by the protagonist of The Matrix 1) in front of Rob and made a call.
Then there was a silence.
Rob drank coffee, and Marianne continued to stare at him.
A few minutes later, a woman with gold-rimmed glasses and professional makeup came in gracefully. Marianne pointed to the file bag, and her meaning was very clear.
The professional woman smiled at Rob, began to open the bag and check the documents in it, and even played a video tape with the equipment in the room.
She was professional throughout, without any extra expression, and finally nodded to Marianne: "No problem."
"Okay, close the door, and tell the outside that no one is allowed to come in if they hear any noise."
"As you wish. "The professional lawyer consultant left.
The room was silent again.
But this time, it didn't take long. Marian stood up, took a deep breath, walked around the desk, came in front of Rob, held the armrests of the boss chair with both hands, and her face was less than half a foot away from Rob, and said: "Are you sure you want to see, see the pleasure I really want?"
"I'm sure!"
Marian grabbed Rob's collar with both hands and kissed him forcefully!
Robo threw the coffee cup casually, and then pressed Marian down on the boss's desk like a tiger.
With a sound of 'pop!', his lips and tongue separated, and he reached out to take off Marian's black-framed glasses, and smiled: "It's like a mask, hiding too much truth, so you don't have to be in front of me in the future! "
Then he began to tear Marianne's clothes.
Marianne was the same, like a wild cat.
This abstinence-style, but the underwear is lace series, showing that under the iceberg's appearance, there is passion and sensuality.
Then there is basically nothing to say, a game of two-person poker.
It came naturally and was very smooth.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Marianne's performance was rather clumsy.
Robo became more and more convinced that his analysis of Marianne's character was correct, and this person's mentality was a bit twisted.
In this Western world, especially in the upper class, behind the sanctimonious glamor, jaw-dropping promiscuity is a common phenomenon. After all, there are conditions, few constraints, but the pressure is not small, it is easy to indulge, even A considerable part of it depends on extraordinary stimulation to feel alive...
In this context, Marian's age and lack of experience in bed can explain a lot of problems.
More importantly, Robo doesn't think Marian is acting.
Because he found that his intuition is extremely strong, he thinks this is probably a benefit of soul crossing, and it is also one of the benefits of absorbing the residual soul of the original owner.
Of course, the truth is that his current soul has indeed improved a lot compared to when he just crossed over, but it is far behind the improvement of the body level.
But in the nightmare world, the body's strength is severely limited, and the soul is compared with ordinary people, so the strength is reflected, and even he can clearly feel it...
