Chapter 77: The adopted son has a wolfish ambition (17)
Mo Ci sorted it out silently in his mind, that is to say, Wansheng Realm > Yuanjie > Upper Domain > Middle Domain.
"Then... how does the admission ticket have anything to do with the Metaverse?"
Shen Mo nodded slightly, as if to show that you've hit the nail on the head.
"So you've obtained a hidden gameplay. The Metaverse wants to lead talented people to the Myriad Living Realm. Not only are the conditions harsh, but you also need a lot of luck."
"You're lucky. You've found this hidden trick. This also means that you're already a quasi-metaverse person, preparing for the Ten Thousand Life Realm."
Mo Ci: "...What about you? Which world are you from?"
Shen Mo smiled meaningfully, "You'll know when we meet next time. This time, I'll leave you an Easter egg."
Mo Ci: ...
Well, it seems that there is no way to ask, but Mo Ci can also guess that Shen Mo should be from the Wansheng Realm.
As for what kind of person he is in the Realm of All Life, we can only know it in the future.
Mo Ci didn't dwell on this, but instead asked, "Why would Yuanjie want to lead talented people to Wansheng Realm?"
Shen Mo: "Because Wansheng Realm is short of people, short of a lot of people."
Mo Ci noticed that when Shen Mo said this, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. He thought that this must be Shen Mo's secret.
Mo Ci didn't ask any more questions, but continued to ask his own questions.
"Every time I become a different person and arrive in a new world, I encounter life-threatening situations. Is this also part of the test?"
Shen Mo nodded. "That's understandable. Furthermore, this was the initial setting for your test. To be precise, you were supposed to replace the original owner at the time after their death, but if you do that, you'll be ostracized by the world."
"In order to offset this rejection, you need to survive this life-or-death ordeal on your own. Your life from now on will have nothing to do with the original owner. It will be your life."
"However, for those original owners you replaced, they might feel that you gave them a new life and showed them another possibility for the future."
"Every time your soul goes through life, it becomes more refined. Also, merit and faith are important things that aid your growth."
"It seems that you don't know how to get the most benefit."
Mo Ci listened to Shen Mo's words and refreshed his cognition again. Fortunately, he could still accept it, especially after the last world, his ability to accept things became stronger.
After all, no matter who you are, after reading all the books on different topics without being picky for ten years, you can accept anything that seems outrageous with comprehensive information.
"So, how can we achieve what you said, maximizing benefits?"
Shen Mo raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Mo Ci was still a little confused. He didn't expect that the scene in front of him changed when he closed his eyes and opened them again.
He and Shen Mo were still sitting opposite each other, but at this moment, the table in front of them disappeared, replaced by several anthropomorphic dolls.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Mo's voice sounded again.
"Let's take an example. Let's say this is a book. According to the development of the story, they are the protagonists, and this one is the cannon fodder."
"Cannon fodder, you should understand what it is, right?"
Mo Ci looked at the puppets and nodded in response to Shen Mo's words, "I know."
"The purpose of this cannon fodder's existence is to help the protagonist on his path to success. However, at this time, the cannon fodder has his own ideas. He has awakened and is no longer willing to be this helper."
"Then, you appeared. Cannon Fodder himself was unable to change anything, so he found a helper in you."
"And the price for you helping him is that you will live in his place in a future world that doesn't have him. The cannon fodder will stay in one place, responsible for observing your performance and then choosing how much to give you based on your performance."
"The money paid by the cannon fodder is mostly soul power, and a small amount of merit."
"As for merit and faith, besides getting them from cannon fodder, you can also get them yourself in this world."
"Merit is easy to talk about. Doing good deeds can be big or small. Faith is a little harder to come by, but it's not impossible. For example, those gods and Buddhas that are enshrined, as well as some people who have done great good deeds, can gain merit by offering incense and offerings."
"For example, those celebrities, but this kind of belief is relatively rare and can easily backfire. I don't recommend it."
Having said that, Shen Mo stopped telling the story and also stopped deducing the scene in his hand, and turned to look at Mo Ci.
"Although you have obtained the hidden gameplay, your self-explosion also destroyed part of the rules. However, I can help you restore it, but that requires touching your soul."
"I know you don't trust me, but that's okay. I'll wait for the day when you trust me."
Mo Ci: "... Yeah."
It was a bit embarrassing to have his thoughts spoken out, especially since no matter how you looked at it, the other person was thinking about him.
Moreover, this ability of deduction exists in a world without spiritual energy.
Mo Ci was not belittling himself, he was indeed not worth Shen Mo's calculations.
If Shen Mo wanted to kill him, he only needed to raise his hand. This was the crushing of the strong over the weak, just like what Mo Ci did to those people before.
Because of the different positions, the perspective on things will be biased. Mo Ci suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and listened to Shen Mo's questions.
"Anything else you want to ask? Go on?"
Mo Ci shook his head. He had almost asked all the questions he wanted to ask. For more, as Shen Mo said, he needed to touch the soul to know.
But he is not yet ready to let others touch his soul.
"No need, Shen Mo, thank you."
Shen Mo waved his hand. "It's nothing. I told you, we're friends. It just so happens that you have doubts, and I just so happen to know. It's my duty to help a friend solve his doubts. Okay, close your eyes."
Mo Ci closed his eyes, opened them again, and returned to the familiar scene. Mo Ci looked at the table in front of him and thought about what had just happened. He was still very surprised.
After all, he couldn't do it himself.
However, just because you can’t do it now doesn’t mean you can’t do it in the future.
Shen Mo will be the one he will pursue in the future!
It was already four o'clock in the morning. Mo Ci looked at the sky outside, then looked at Shen Mo who had already stood up, and stood up as well. "I'm really sorry to have disturbed your rest today."
Shen Mo waved his hand, "No need to apologize. Remember to buy me a pot of wine next time. That will be your apology for letting me rest so late."
Mo Ci nodded, "Okay."
"Let's go. No matter how late it is, the moon has to go home~"
As he spoke, Shen Mo also walked to the door and signaled Mo Ci that there was no need to see him off, as he would go back by himself.
Just like that, Mo Ci watched Shen Mo's back as he left. It was a while before he returned to the room. Seeing the candied haws on the table, Mo Ci picked it up, opened it, and took a bite of one.
Sweet.
The corners of Mo Ci's mouth rose slightly, and he felt more relaxed than ever before.
