Chapter 6900 Value Misalignment
There is basically no threshold for the top negative talent such as Demon Disintegration. As long as the physical fitness is up to standard and there is no fear of death, theoretically it can be successfully activated.
As for why a threshold of meeting the physical fitness standard has been added, it is not necessary for the disintegration of the demon, but because this talent has been opened. If you don’t want to turn into fireworks on the spot, you still need to have some physical strength.
If one's physical fitness is not good enough and the Kaitian Demon is disintegrated, then one won't have to hold on until all the cells in the body burst and the flesh spills out. Instead, at the first step of liberation, the blood vessels and heart will explode, and the whole person will bleed to death from the inside out.
However, the Nordic Shadow World also proved that the Sky Demon Disintegration was only theoretically free of threshold. When preparing to die together with the Odin Guards, many veterans failed in their attempts to force the Sky Demon Disintegration. After all, this kind of thing could not be practiced, although they had a rough structure of this thing in their minds.
But it’s just like making fried rice, which is apparently very simple. The process of how to make it has already been constructed in our brains. But when it comes to actually trying, some people can do it very well, while for others it’s like a kitchen explosion. The Demon Disintegration is pretty much the same thing.
After all, this thing is essentially not for human use. It is only because of its amazing improvement that many people use it as a last-ditch effort - you will die anyway, so before I die, I will show you what a hero is!
"The Nordic Shadow World has reminded many veterans that many negative talents will lead to self-injurious finishing moves and so on. Only when they are used can there be room for optimization." Liu Bei raised his index finger and said seriously, while Chen Xi's face looked a little ugly.
What this means is self-evident. Most of the fifth-level smelting cannot beat the sixth-level smelting. But can the fifth-level smelting with the negative talents such as violent talent, power collapse, spirit boiling, complete version of killing absorption, burning blood and burning soul, talent collapse, demon disintegration, etc., beat it?
There is a high probability that it is possible, and it is even possible to severely injure or even kill the sixth level with one blow. After all, the improvements brought by these negative talents are calculated in multiples, which is very terrifying.
Or to be more realistic, if a talent of desperate nature does not have such an exaggerated increase, who would use it to risk their life? Why not use other talents that risk their life?
"In addition, although the talents such as Self-Sacrificing Arrow, Sacrifice Method, Archery Sacrifice, and Warming and Disintegration are not as exaggerated as the above ones, if someone has conducted in-depth research on these talents and has mastered them..." Liu Bei explained to Chen Xi gently, but these explanations were almost the same as telling Chen Xi directly. He had seen veterans using such talents, and he was very clear about the actual combat performance of such veterans.
"Besides, the small world clearly states that there is no need to consider life and death. Some people will definitely use this talent directly when settling cause and effect. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether I live or die. The most important thing is to kill you." When Liu Bei said this, he was somewhat helpless. Even if Wan Fang was guilty and the crime was with Xuande, it did not mean that everyone was willing to accept this fact - why should the general bear your sins!
"That's very bad..." Chen Xi was helpless. If three or four of these fun guys gathered together, even a top veteran like Sun Er would probably be defeated on the spot - without activating his negative talents, he couldn't beat these lunatics. With his negative talents activated, he wouldn't be able to survive even if he won!
Super-speed regeneration can't make you survive this top-level negative talent, it can only make you last a little longer. Survive? Those who have this talent never thought they would survive!
"Only in this way can it be interesting. Otherwise, do you think the almost predetermined list is interesting?" Liu Bei asked Chen Xi.
"I don't care. I started this just to sort out the cause and effect, cut off the old grudges, and then see how the major families have progressed over the years. It doesn't matter what the results are on the list, whether it's pre-determined or not." Chen Xi said unhappily when he heard this. He really thought so.
"Hahaha, you are really like that." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi and laughed. He knew that Chen Xi rarely did things that were put on the table.
"Get out of the car." Liu Bei called to Chen Xi, and Chen Xi did not hesitate. He opened the car door and jumped off the frame. At this time, there were already quite a few onlookers here.
"It feels like there are a lot of people watching." Chen Xi looked around and found that in addition to the veterans, there were also many ordinary villagers, although these days every villager has to undergo military service training.
"Because many contestants brought their families." Under the leadership of Xu Chu, Liu Bei and Chen Xi entered the camp from the other side of the military camp. At this time, an arena had been set up on the semi-open training ground, and there were veterans who knew how to manipulate light and shadow to play it for the surrounding audience.
"Oh, I know this. Recently, the Imperial College and its affiliated elementary school have accepted quite a few students who come here temporarily for study tours." Chen Xi said with a smile.
In fact, most of these students are the descendants of top veterans who came to participate in the competition. After all, for such an event, of course they have to bring their families with them so that their wives and children can see their bravery. Especially for someone like Sun Er, when his wife learned about such an event, she was very excited and wanted to watch.
Do you remember why Sun Er's wife married Sun Er? It was because Sun Er was good at fighting. Back then, Sun Er fought ten people at once, which made Zhang Qiaoyun's eyes light up. She basically threw herself at Sun Er.
Although Zhang Qiaoyun felt that the battlefield was too dangerous after getting married, and it would be better for her husband not to go, she relaxed a little after understanding her husband's true strength. In addition, she was very satisfied with her current life. With a rank of 2,000 stones, what else could she say? That's it! So Sun Er was actually half retired.
Of course, this is her view on the battlefield and official position. As for fighting, Zhang Qiaoyun has a completely different view. Her temperament is a little too lively in this respect. She really likes to watch this kind of flesh-and-flesh fight. So when she learned that Sun Er was coming to participate in the Small World Martial Arts Show, she came with her family.
As for the children going to school, Zhang Qiaoyun felt that it was most important to cheer for her husband. However, after arriving in Chang'an, she found that her husband's position allowed him to enroll the child in the elementary school affiliated with the Imperial College. So, she could just send the child to school there, and when the fighting really started, she would bring the child along to cheer!
"I heard that you opened a window for temporary admission to the school?" Liu Bei asked casually.
"Lord Xuande, you should think about it carefully. It's the time for the New Year holidays and the elementary schools are closed. In fact, I can't take care of the children for a few days. I'm just giving them face." Chen Xi laughed when he heard this. This kind of thing, which cost nothing and could improve people's reputation, was of course handled easily.
"You guy, you really leave me speechless." Liu Bei was quite speechless when he heard this. He had heard from the old soldiers before that this was a very important benevolent policy in this grand military exercise. As a result, after hearing what Chen Xi said, Liu Bei felt that Chen Xi was worthy of being Chen Xi.
"It's worth learning a little, don't you think?" Chen Xi did not answer, but turned to greet Xu Chu.
"But my son said that the food in the elementary school is not enough." Xu Chu thought for a moment and replied.
"..." Chen Xi was silent for a while. With Xu Yi's body size, it was normal for him to not have enough food to eat. Moreover, Chen Xi had heard before that Xu Yi's appetite was as much as that of an adult, so he could understand it to some extent.
"The Imperial College's affiliated elementary school doesn't have enough food to eat. This must be investigated." Liu Bei laughed and scolded. He had seen Xu Yi. Was that eight years old? That was eighteen years old!
"Forget it, Lord Xuande, who do you think will win?" Chen Xi changed the subject. He couldn't dwell on the topic of not having enough food to eat in elementary school.
"Sun Er." Liu Bei said very seriously.
"Why are you so sure?" Chen Xi said with some surprise. In his opinion, Liu Bei must have a purpose and would not speak nonsense. Moreover, Sun Er's strength is indeed trustworthy.
"If it's about strength, it's actually meaningless. After all, everyone knows what strength is, and he is indeed the first. But I chose Sun Er because his wife is from the Zhang family of Qinghe." Liu Bei smiled and didn't mean anything else. There's really nothing much to say about strength. Sun Er is already the best choice. The rest are almost on par with Sun Er. Anyone of them could get first place. In that case, it's better to choose Sun Er. After all, Sun Er's wife and Liu Bei's wife are from the same family!
"I don't know how to put it, but it's extremely reasonable." Chen Xi was speechless. There was really no way to refute this reason. Anyway, the hard power was definitely on par with each other. In this case, it would be better to choose someone with a closer relationship. This was indeed very reasonable.
"Then who do you think will win the championship?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.
"If it were before, I would have evaluated Sun Er, Zhang Yong, Jiang Guang, Wang Heng, and Zhao Zhen, but now, I choose Jiang Guang." Chen Xi said expressionlessly.
"Huh?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi in confusion. He was just teasing Chen Xi before, but he didn't expect Chen Xi to give his own judgment. "Oh, that's right. In the second round of the competition, Jiang Guang has a huge advantage because of General Huangfu. As long as he doesn't lose too much points in the first round, he may win the championship. Even if he doesn't win the championship in name, the total points plus the performance in the competition will give everyone an answer in their hearts."
"No, no, no." Chen Xi couldn't help but laugh when he heard Liu Bei's analysis.
"Why is that?" Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi in confusion.
"Probably because Jiang Guang's wife is from the Chen family of Luoyang." Xu Chu answered cheerfully on behalf of Chen Xi. Liu Bei laughed when he heard it. He had actually thought of it before and thought Chen Xi would be serious. Unexpectedly, Chen Xi was just like him, equally interesting and funny.
"Hahaha, you guy." Liu Bei laughed when he heard that, then walked towards the qualifying position with his hands behind his back. At this time, a group of marquises were already sitting on the temporary rostrum. Officers who had nothing to do, such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, had already taken their seats.
"Hey, aren't these the Marquis of Duting and the Marquis of Changting?" When Liu Bei and Chen Xi passed by the rostrum, they found Li Tiao and Guan Hai sitting in a corner eating melon seeds and pointing at the guys below. Liu Bei noticed that Chen Xi didn't care, but Chen Xi would deliberately make a surprise attack.
"Lord Chen." Li Tiao and Guan Hai, who were eating melon seeds, were obviously not paying attention here. They only reacted when they heard Chen Xi's voice and immediately stood up and greeted Chen Xi.
"How is it? How do you feel after relaxing in Qingzhou?" Chen Xi said to Li Tiao. He had no intention of hiding anything from Guan Hai. Li Tiao was the only person Chen Xi had met in the past ten years who was truly rooted in the grassroots and had a consistent mind. In addition, Li Tiao's performance when he discovered the turmoil in the Ganges last time made Chen Xi's evaluation of Li Tiao higher by a level.
When Zhao Yun told Chen Xi about the incident afterwards, he did not cover it up at all. Li Tiao said to Zhao Yun in front of him, "The worst that can happen is that the title will be taken away, at least I won't feel guilty!" And he really rushed to the Executive Yuan with this awareness.
Although Chen Xi could understand the thoughts of the group of people in Henghe, relatively speaking, people like Li Tiao who had not changed their original intentions were more in line with Chen Xi's perception.
"Can you ask the Ocean Fisheries Bureau to lower the price of big fish? When Brother Guan and I went to inspect, the locals bought fish from the Ocean Fisheries Bureau. A yellow croaker this big only cost twelve cents." Li Tiao gestured. After he met up with Guan Hai, he followed Guan Hai to inspect the big factories in Qingzhou. Then he found that the price of fish along the coast of Qingzhou was a bit ridiculously low.
Li Tiao had never noticed this before. After all, he didn't have much time to go to the coast. Usually during the ceasefire, he was either in Chang'an or in his hometown of Mount Tai. He had never been to the coast at all. So when he went there this time, he found out, damn, a yellow croaker as big as a washbasin only cost twelve cents, damn!
"Twelve cents is not a lot. It's already the cost price." Chen Xi thought about it. He really had someone keep an eye on the price of goods. This was a rare case. Chen Xi set up three different intelligence collection channels to ensure that there would be no abnormalities in the market prices.
After all, as long as the people still have a way to eat at home, they will definitely not rebel. Similarly, as long as they still have a way to eat at home, it means there is still hope for revival.
"My money is twenty-two cents for salted fish, and one hundred cents for living ones," Guan Hai said concisely.
"I have twenty-three cents for a live salted fish, five hundred cents? Damn, I think my wife secretly bought me one during the Chinese New Year two years ago, saying it was for my health." Li Tiao gave the same answer.
"What kind of ascetic life are you living?" Chen Xi looked at Li Tiao speechlessly and said, "Brother Tiao, you are a marquis. There are only more than a hundred hereditary marquises in the Han Dynasty. How come you are so fussy about eating a yellow croaker?"
"It's expensive!" Li Tiao said confidently. He was willing to spend money on his brothers' children, and Li Tiao would continue to spend hundreds of thousands of coins a year. But if you asked Li Tiao to spend 500 coins on a whole fish, which was half a month's salary for an ordinary man, then I'm sorry, Li Tiao couldn't eat it.
Although Li Tiao was not polite at all when he ate official food in the Shaofu, military camp and other places, but if you let Li Tiao spend money to eat this kind of thing, I won’t eat it!
"It's not just a matter of being expensive." Guan Hai frowned, "In the Ocean Fisheries Department, this kind of big fish is only twelve cents. The price is much higher here."
"Um..." Chen Xi greeted a familiar-looking person who was sent by the Shaofu to do odd jobs. The person hurried over to salute Chen Xi.
"Do you have any royal lamb chops ready for Her Royal Highness the Princess and Concubine Xian?" Chen Xi waved his hand and called out to the errand boy. After receiving an accurate reply, he ordered, "Give two servings to Marquis Changting and Marquis Duting."
They were originally planning to promote the brand of royal-grade mutton and beef this time, just to open the eyes of Li Tiao and Guan Hai. Anyway, none of the people playing on the field looked familiar to Chen Xi.
Soon, the crispy lamb chops were served. Although Guan Hai and Li Tiao didn't understand what was going on, when it came to eating, they were old Yellow Turbans, so there was no need to doubt and they just started eating.
Then he showed off the two plates of lamb chops in front of Chen Xi. To be honest, they were really delicious.
"How?" Chen Xi asked with a smile.
"It's really delicious. I have to admire it." Li Tiao and Guan Hai told the truth.
"Three thousand coins for one mouthful." Chen Xi chuckled, and the two guys opposite him turned green in the face. They were born as old Yellow Turbans and couldn't hold back on such an outrageous thing. This thing tasted good, but it wasn't so exaggerated as to cost three thousand coins for one mouthful.
"Really." Chen Xi nodded amidst Li Zhang's stunned expression.
At this moment, Li Tiao had a strong urge to use his internal energy to spit out the lamb chops he had eaten before, so that Chen Xi could exchange them for money.
"It's just that this is the marked price, not the real price. The price you see at the Donglai Offshore Fisheries Bureau is the most basic price, which is also the most real cost. The yellow croaker you see there basically does not contain any additional charges. After all, the fishermen of the Offshore Fisheries Bureau are essentially workers." Chen Xi said very seriously, so the price of fish there would be ridiculously low.
"When it comes to your place, the price of salted fish already includes the cost of a new step, such as pickling and drying. This is another process. But after this set of processes, the transportation cost becomes lower and the shelf life becomes longer, so the price increase is not obvious." Chen Xi continued to explain to the two.
"For live fish, on the contrary, the farther away from the sea, the higher the cost of transportation, the more difficult it is to keep them alive, and the greater the possibility of transportation failure. All these will be factored into the selling price. After all, the seller has to make a certain profit." Chen Xi continued to explain as he looked at the two old yellow turbans who had traveled all over the country, seen and eaten a lot, but lacked relevant summary and study.
"Of course, these are still within the normal range, but the lamb chop you just ate belongs to another logic. It has cultural value, brand value, reputation and so on. Intangible things are priced according to people's hearts, so three thousand per piece is an understatement." Chen Xi explained with a smile, "Generally speaking, considering where you two live, charging this price for live yellow croaker is not outrageous. After all, the transportation cost is indeed a bit too high."
Chen Xi actually didn't say something. In Chen Xi's opinion, the five hundred coins for a live yellow croaker that Li Tiao mentioned was already a very low price, since Li Tiao had settled in Mount Tai!
You have to know that this deceptive thing called yellow croaker, while being delicious, has a miraculous property: it will die soon if it leaves the sea water!
Even with the blessing of the essence of heaven and earth, to be honest, it is reasonable for him to be alive if transported to Guan Hai using conventional means. However, it is really a miracle if he can still be alive if transported to Li Tiao. Unless you let Huang Tao try to transport him with sea water, maybe he can be delivered there alive.
Therefore, the only way for Li Tiao to get the living yellow croaker was to use a special method to transport it there, and special methods cost money!
"Is that so? Then it seems I have to go to the beach myself to buy a batch and then fly back to let those kids taste it." Li Tiao said with some regret.
Look, this is a special way of transportation. With Li Tiao's flying speed, it can be sent back in an hour. If he is willing to bring a lot of sea water, hundreds of fish can be transported, and dozens of them can be kept alive with vigorous vitality. However, considering that this is equivalent to using internal energy to leave the body and transport the goods personally, it seems reasonable to charge you tens of thousands of dollars. Even considering your origin as a marquis, it will be even more expensive.
"That thing is indeed delicious. If I remember correctly, the fish paste porridge made from this thing can be used to replenish qi and blood and nourish the body. It is suitable for laying the foundation for children." Chen Xi said casually. This is not Chen Xi's nonsense. The big yellow croaker and the small yellow croaker are real top-quality fish in the wild, and they have their own therapeutic effects.
If other fishes need special cooking to achieve this effect, large and small yellow croakers have their own therapeutic effects. The only drawback is that this thing is on the verge of extinction in later generations, and this thing is really unlucky to be caught to extinction by the Chinese.
"That's why I think it's expensive. It's only twelve cents a piece, and I can use it to lay the foundation for my children. If it costs five hundred cents, then I can't afford it." Li Tiao said helplessly. He adopted and took care of many children of his comrades who died in the battle, hundreds of them.
Although it is not very reasonable, the restrictions on the marquises have been relaxed these days. As long as the number of servants you recruit does not exceed a thousand, the government will pretend not to see it. Of course, if the number exceeds a thousand, there are two choices: one is to cut them off, and the other is to go and start a country. Li Tiao's way of raising servants has some problems, but to be honest, it is within the rules.
"When the road over there is open and the fish paste sausage is produced, we can just use the fish paste sausage." Chen Xi could only say this. There was no other way. It was impossible to lower the price. This was a market problem. Even if Chen Xi could regulate the market, he would not directly fight against the market.
As for the fish paste sausage, the affiliated unit of Donglai Ocean Fisheries Bureau has finally developed it after so many years. Well, actually it was not developed by the affiliated unit, but it was given to Chen Xi by the Jingchu family who was severely punished by Sun Ce some time ago and asked Chen Xi for help.
At that time, Chen Xi wanted to strangle the Jingchu family who came to deliver the goods. It has been ten years since Yuanfeng, and I have studied the preparation and preservation of fish paste for so many years. You have the goods in your hands, but you haven't handed them over. You want to die, right? So Chen Xi dissuaded Sun Ce and asked Sun Ce to come to Chang'an first, and let Zhou Yu continue to attack.
In fact, the Jingchu family was also confused. To be honest, they didn't even know the value of the gift that came with it. They just found it by looking through some old papers!
It's the end of the month, let's vote
