Chapter 1114 Joker and Chu Zihang
"Very sharp, but you're wrong about one thing."
The man sat on the sofa, looked at the screen in front of him, and put the red wine in his hand on the table.
Chu Zihang was a little confused, "Can you please give me some advice?"
"Why can't people like me stop making jokes about young people? It's like I'm very old."
The man smiled and raised his hand, "Come and sit."
Chu Zihang was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward, walked to the sofa on the side, and raised his head to see the man's face clearly.
But as expected, just like in the mission world, I couldn't see the true face of the man in front of me clearly.
It's not that there is any light or fog blocking it, but a strange feeling, that is, you seem to see the whole face of the man, but the next moment, you forget it again in a short and incalculable time.
Just like mortals cannot glimpse the true face of God, he is too weak to know the appearance of the other party.
"I will pay back what I owe my seniors, but it will take some time."
Chu Zihang said after he sat down and withdrew his gaze. It was rude to keep staring at the other person.
Joker waved his hand, "That's not why I called you here this time. To be honest, I'm not interested in the world you can get now. I have other things for you to do."
Chu Zihang received advice from the old blind man in the mission world, not only the method to break the situation, but also help in other aspects, on the condition that Chu Zihang would repay with a complete world in the future.
But Joker himself did not confirm the deal. He now wants Chu Zihang to do other things.
"Senior, please tell me."
Chu Zihang had no room for bargaining. With the opponent's strength, it would not be a problem to destroy a big world like Lu Chen. Even those beings on the river of time would not be the circus leader's opponent.
All gifts come with a price, and he has long understood this truth.
"Don't be so nervous. What I want you to do is very simple. It's better to say that you are already doing it and I am just helping you to deepen your impression."
The man smiled, stood up, and walked to the wine cabinet next to him, "What would you like to drink?"
"The guest does as the host does."
Chu Zihang said respectfully.
"Then let's take this one. It's been here for 70 million years, and it feels like it's almost past its shelf life."
The man took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet. The bottle looked a little worn, and the label on it had faded.
Of course, normal red wine cannot be stored for such a long time, and the things placed in this place certainly cannot be normal.
The man who was perhaps one of the strongest men in the origin space still found a corkscrew when opening the wine and took out a decanter. The glass of red wine that he originally placed on the table was unknown at what time. Disappeared.
When the bottle of red wine was opened, Chu Zihang smelled the smell in the air, and instantly began to feel drowsy. After just one breath, his consciousness was about to dissipate.
There was still a strange energy blessing his soul, which allowed him to barely stay awake and not die of drunkenness.
He didn't know the quality of the bright red wine placed in the decanter, but I'm afraid it was at least an immortal-level prop with a full score, or even a chaos-level prop that Brother Lu had in mind.
Such precious things can be seen everywhere in this man's room, or they are just trinkets for entertaining guests.
The clock in the room was ticking and time passed quietly. When it was almost time, the man poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Chu Zihang.
"Don't worry, this is not poison. In my case, you won't die even if you take the real immortal poison."
Seeing that Chu Zihang was hesitant, the man smiled and said, clinking glasses with Chu Zihang in the air.
Chu Zihang no longer hesitated and took a sip of the mellow wine. His whole body seemed to be on fire and he was in a state of ecstasy. I am afraid that the legendary Supreme Immortal Brew was nothing more than this.
In his details menu, various attributes were soaring rapidly, reaching the peak of the seventh level in just a few breaths, and he felt that his mental attributes were still rising, but he failed to break through that limit.
"Thank you, senior."
Chu Zihang thanked him, knowing that the other party was helping him improve his strength.
And if you accidentally get this kind of wine, if you take it directly, you may be drunk to death. At this time, you are safe and sound, just because JoKer helped you resolve those side effects.
"For you, the reaction may be a bit strong, but it only has an effect on the first drink. For me, it's just an ordinary drink."
Joker said with a smile and some emotion at the same time, "People always lose something in the process of gaining strength. For example, I am no longer drunk, and my concept of time has begun to become blurry. It used to be easy The sense of happiness gained has become increasingly rare, simply because the body’s resistance is too high, in every sense of the word.”
"But you are still the envy of many explorers."
Chu Zihang said expressionlessly.
"Maybe, they think that the circus is the largest adventure group spanning levels one to nine in the origin space, and it is also the strongest adventure group. As the leader of the circus, I am naturally the strongest person in the origin space, the strongest Those who are at the top are at the top, and who doesn’t envy those who are at the top?”
Joker spread his hands, "But everyone who stands at the top looks back at the past. In addition to feeling a sense of accomplishment, they often regret it."
"What do you regret? Like some celebrities in my home world, the thing you regret most in your life is founding the circus? You don't like Origin Coin either?"
Chu Zihang made a joke, but his paralyzed face really ruined the atmosphere.
"You are wrong about one thing. I did not create the circus. Joker is just the codename of the leader, but I am not the first leader."
The man smiled and explained, "But although I know you are joking about some things, you are indeed right. I don't like Origin Coin because it is of no use to me."
He waved his hand, "Okay, I'm not kidding. I just want to tell you that when people gain something, they will always lose other things. Just like I lost a lot of happiness, I also have a lot of regrets, and I can't do it anymore. Again."
When Chu Zihang heard this, he was a little confused, "I have read many novels and works, including some derivative worlds related to space. For example, in the "Zhe Tian Trilogy", the protagonists were promoted to extremely powerful levels in the end. Realm, so-called resurrecting relatives and friends, reversing history, is just a snap of the fingers, so what regrets can there be?"
His meaning is obvious. In his opinion, the circus leader should be an extremely powerful being. What the protagonists of the derivative world can do should not be difficult for him.
The man glanced at Chu Zihang meaningfully, "It's great to be young and still have visions for the future. You are right. At my level, it is not difficult to resurrect a living being."
He paused and continued: "But this is only in the universe, not in space. The laws of space are absolute, at least within the scope of its rules. Of course, if you take advantage of the loopholes and escape from the space, , are not restricted by these rules, so if you have the help of a strong person, you can be resurrected after death."
“Is that why there are so many violators?”
Chu Zihang asked curiously.
The man shook his head, "The number of violators is not large. What you saw in the mission world is a special case. It can be regarded as a very rare phenomenon that has occurred over the long years. Although the violators are not controlled by space, they are not what you imagine. It sounds wonderful to be free and resurrected, but if you become a violator, you will become the target of my hunting, and no one should want to be my hunting target."
His calm tone revealed strong confidence.
Chu Zihang deeply felt the calmness of the other person who controlled everything. In the mission world, the man in front of him was one against three, but still achieved the final victory. He was worthy of the title of Void Stalker from the Origin Space.
"I cannot resurrect the explorer. There is no existence in the origin space, or the nine major spaces, that can resurrect the explorer. This is the iron rule of space. Explorers are never given a second chance. Losers are losers. The only way to win is to win. Those who reach the end can be trained at the highest level.”
Joker took a sip of the red wine and spoke plainly, with a little regret flashing in his eyes.
"So have you ever had a comrade who died in battle?"
Chu Zihang asked carefully.
"Of course there is... I wasn't that strong from the beginning. I also started working hard from the first level. Of the explorers I knew at that time, now there is only one beast tamer left."
Joker said with emotion, "But you know, in fact, the limitation of space is only one aspect. If I really want to reverse everything, it is nothing more than becoming a violator. I can also revive those who have passed by, but the problem is not about life and death."
Chu Zihang asked curiously, "Are there any other restrictions?"
The man shook his head and said with emotion: "Sometimes we have to respect the will of the deceased. They may not want to be resurrected at all. Why should they come back when they have obviously been freed from endless purgatory?"
Chu Zihang was stunned. Perhaps he and Brother Lu could win consecutive battles in every world. They were the top beings in the explorer echelon.
But in space, there are still too many explorers living miserable lives, worrying about survival every day, and feeling uneasy before entering the mission world.
Every time you enter the mission world, life and death are unpredictable, and every time you leave the mission world, you are scarred, and several friends around you have died.
For them, space is a cruel place, where they are constantly on tenterhooks and constantly performing tasks with no end in sight.
Isn't that just an endless reincarnation of purgatory, with no hope of relief at all?
Or is being a backup a kind of salvation?
Because the mission time of the backup will be much longer, and they are all simple mining and collection tasks.
When one day, a most powerful person finally appeared among the explorers who had worked together, he looked back, but he no longer had friends who had fought side by side in the mission world, and even resurrecting them became a luxury.
Even if you are willing to be a violator, your past friends may not want to return to this world. They are tired and see no hope for the future.
Not everyone can endure endless battles, and not everyone pursues becoming stronger and longs for a powerful opponent like Brother Lu.
"So you should understand that even if you can go back in time in space, some things are difficult to change, so you must seize the moment and don't leave any regrets."
The man said to Chu Zihang meaningfully.
"Thank you for your guidance, senior. I understand."
Chu Zihang nodded and said, he understood the other party's hint.
"As for what I want you to do, it's very simple. When Lu Chen..."
As Joker slowly narrated, Chu Zihang's eyes changed slightly.
…………
At the bottom of the World Tree, in the Backer Commercial Street.
When he arrived at the familiar small bar, he was still greeted by the bartender wearing a zebra hood, who took Lu Chen into the room inside.
Rhine, an old drunkard, has drank a lot, and the table is full of empty bottles. He likes to feel drunk every time he returns from the mission world.
In his words, there is a famous saying circulated in the group, which he regards as truth.
That is, if you are happy in life, you must enjoy it to the fullest, but don't wait until you can't get drunk anymore before remembering it.
"Brother Lu, you are getting more and more invisible."
Lai Yin saw Lu Chen walk in, stood up to greet him, and gave Lu Chen a bear hug in a familiar manner.
"It seems that you gained a lot in the last world."
Lu Chen smiled and greeted Lai Yin. He saw that Lai Yin's attributes had now reached the upper level of the seventh level, and his comprehensive attributes reached more than 200 points. It had only been two worlds since Lai Yin left Zhe Tian.
I'm afraid that in the next world, Rhine will be able to reach the ultimate level of seventh level. In Rhine's own words, some of the big guys in the circus used to take three worlds to complete the journey from level seven to level eight. I'm afraid he can do it too. Yeah, that's something to be proud of.
It also took Lu Chen two worlds to go from the seventh level to the eighth level. However, those like Chu Zihang and others who enjoyed the benefits of care had a higher span of improvement.
"Sit down, I won't go home until I'm drunk today."
Rhine returned to his seat, and wine kept flowing out of the assembly line.
Lu Chen picked up a glass and looked at it using the origin identification function. He was a little surprised that there was still wine of mythical quality.
You must know that the Zebra classmate outside is only in his early sixth level, and the mythical quality is not low for him. For a sixth-level explorer, even if it is something made with his life occupation skills, the mythical quality is still very high for nothing. It hurts.
"Is it really okay to exploit the newcomers in the group like this for free?"
Lu Chen asked with a smile, because he heard Lai Yin said that he had helped Zebra, so he came here to drink for free.
"I'm not that arrogant. Today I gave him money. A fairy-quality prop is enough for him to make a lot of profits in the next world."
Rhine said, raising his glass, "Let's go."
Lu Chen clinked glasses with Lai Yin, "I also want to thank Brother Lion for the button he gave me last time, otherwise I might have lost it in the previous world."
Hearing Lu Chen talk about this, Lai Yin looked curious, "I heard that the leader came to take action in person? What does the leader look like?"
