Rebel Demon King

Chapter 87 Monsters
Some people say that love is the only salvation for lonely souls.No, I don't think so, love is a poison that corrupts people's hearts, a trap set by life for you, a weakness that makes you nostalgic for warmth, a leaf that you put on when you bathe in dragon blood, a trap that makes you feel The best weapon to give up dignity. ——Cheng Mo

————————————————————

With her back on the seat and her legs crossed, Xie Minyun reached out and fiddled with the few strands of black, straight and long hair that had been ruffled by the wind around her cheeks. This action added countless indescribable charms to the cold Xie Minyun. Xie Minyun was a little bit unreliable, but at this moment, because of this inadvertent action, it became vivid and bright.

After Cheng Mo agreed to divide it into 1 and taught her how to recognize micro-expressions and skills, Xie Minyun gently opened the two red lips that were like blood in the setting sun: "I think your eyes are not so short-sighted, according to Pascal's bet. In theory (Note [-]), you should be clear that if you just want to make money, then, even if you look down on them, even though you are very capable, it is the most correct choice to integrate into them, right?"

After pausing for a while, Xie Minyun said meaningfully: "Especially Du Leng, he started a Dragon Blood Club, and those who can join are elites with excellent family backgrounds and achievements, although your background is ordinary, but with your ability , it is easy to join in, with these resources, you will be able to fight for many years less in the future, and you will have a much better future than you are now working hard to figure him out and earn some pocket money."

Cheng Mo certainly understood what Xie Minyun meant when he mentioned Pascal's bet. Obviously, she was saying that as an absolutely rational person who seeks good and avoids evil, he should try to integrate into the elite class represented by Du Leng, because as long as he joins, it is possible to If you get the benefits, the worst result is that you don't get the benefits, but if you don't join, you are likely to get the bad.

To put it simply, Xie Minyun meant that if Cheng Mo was just trying to make money and didn't try his best to integrate into Du Leng's circle, he would be unreasonable.

Cheng Mo repeated the name "Dragon Blood Club", and then said: "I actually don't like the word success very much. Look at the success books on the market that tell you what success is, and you will know who is defining what is called. 'Success'. Everyone seems to be telling you that you can make enough money if you work hard, and if you make enough money to achieve financial freedom, success is

"Actually we all know that there is not only one kind of success, so why do we only see this one in our eyes?"

"Because if the people who are the cornerstones don't work hard, the entire country will lose its vitality and competitiveness, so the only success we have been taught is this kind of success. From ancient times to the present, the human world has always been a pyramid system, from top to bottom, With the increase of the number of people, the wealth and wisdom mastered have been reduced exponentially. What is the secret of this world? The responsibility of the people at the top of the pyramid is to let the people at the bottom be able to solve the problem of food and clothing, so that they can keep the hope of promotion, but in the end there are only a small number of people To be able to advance to the elite class and gain real financial freedom, the vast majority of people are just put on a division of labor that is destined to create wealth for others.”

"I think you should know better than me that the secret of success is not in the people at the top of the pyramid, but in some missionaries established by the 'top', such as the famous Boss X, even if he can succeed as Boss X He is only a leader in the elite class, he can never break through the ceiling, and he can only adapt to the rules, not make them."

"So for me, although I want money, I am not willing to be a slave to money."

As a real red aristocrat, Xie Minyun naturally knows that what Cheng Mo said is a fact. The so-called class flow only exists between ordinary people and elites, and this kind of flow is becoming more and more difficult. As for those who want to break the ceiling and be promoted to the pyramid At the top, except for blood and fire, there is no path.

Xie Minyun said lightly: "It sounds like an ideal, but the reality seems to be cruel! Is it harder than you think to make money standing up? But it doesn't matter, the Yan Yitong who talked to you in the afternoon is quite an identity. You don't like Du Leng's road, and Yan Yitong's road, if you hurry up, it's a good opportunity to skip grades."

Cheng Mo sneered: "I don't actually like the word ideal either. It's just an empty word used by missionaries to wrap up their humanistic concerns. They tell you that the ideal shape is poetry, wine and the distance, mountains, deserts and mountains. The ocean is to conquer, climb and master. If you don’t establish some ideals, then you will be confused and numb, but ideals are nothing but your life planning. Make money in the way you want. This is the truth of ideals. , from the beginning to the end, you still stay within the frame that others have drawn for you. You think you are a savage growth, but in fact you are just following the steps. These things are just the spice of a boring life. In the final analysis, direction, redemption, hope, ideal .Does it matter? It doesn't really matter at all."

Xie Minyun propped his chin on the back of his hand, leaned his elbow against the armrest and looked at Cheng Mo slantingly, and asked kindly, "Then what is the most important to you?"

Cheng Mo said: "Of course, living comfortably is the most important." After a short pause, he changed the subject and said calmly: "It is enough to live healthy and die in the way I want."

Xie Minyun cast her gaze towards the Xiangjiang River outside the window. Orange Island was like a giant boat riding the wind and waves in the heart of the river. The summer sunset made the sky gorgeous, like an orange fire in the sky. Xie Minyun was silent for a moment, she knew that Cheng Mo was I want to be the master of my own destiny, but in this world, how difficult it is to be the master of my own destiny.

Roosevelt shouted: be the master of time, the master of fate, the helmsman of the soul.

William Henry shouted: Thank God for giving me an unconquerable soul, I am the master of my destiny, I am the commander of my soul!

The Jews once collectively shouted: I am the master of my destiny, I am the master of my soul.

Those who choose to be loyal to their souls and dare to fight against fate are all determined lunatics and fools in the eyes of most people.They try to break free from the shackles of the world, they know that the process is unprofitable, difficult and painful, and they have to go upstream and become the masters of their own will and destiny.

But, it seems, nothing is greater than such an ideal.

Xie Minyun also exaggerated Cheng Mo's ideals too much. In fact, Cheng Mo just wanted to die of old age comfortably, not to be killed by this damn heart disease.

Two [-]- or [-]-year-olds said these things, they were really in the middle school. They were probably at the age when they were talking about traffic niches and entertainment gossip. Even if they were a little more advanced, talking about the Olympiad, talking about the Ivy League, and talking about the international situation would not count. It was an exaggeration, but they were talking about something as mysterious and mysterious as the superstructure.

However, he is still extremely serious. If there are others, they must think that the two of them are a joke.

But in fact, they are just standing in a higher dimension. Think about those geniuses, Gauss, Marx, Nietzsche, and the great men of Orange Island. What were they thinking when they were 17 years old?
You will understand that it is not that they are pretending to be deep, but that we ordinary people are too shallow.

Cheng Mo keenly grasped Xie Minyun's desolate expression at this moment, and said, "No wonder you have no friends, treat life as a game of chess, and treat everyone as your opponent. Your personality is really distorted!"

Xie Minyun turned his head, looked at Cheng Mo and said coldly: "Is it funny? People like you will never understand what it is like to be regarded as a benchmark by others from childhood to adulthood. There is no difference in praise. You can see that Xie Minyun is beautiful, has good grades, and has such a great family background. But am I just like this? I have been used as a role model countless times, no, it should be the villain, and then hated by countless people, as long as When you make a trivial mistake, some people will ridicule it and magnify it into a heinous shortcoming. When I was in junior high school, the most I received were not love letters, but some anonymous letters scolding me. Do you know what they are most happy to see? No How good your grades are, it's not how perfect you are, it's not how popular you are, what they want to see is that you are embarrassing, that you are showing weakness, that you are unlucky."

"Actually, you are the kind of person I hate the most!"

"Because you like disguise, you like lies, you think the lie is right, it is to make up and reconcile the bad habits of this world, but I will never be fooled like you, and I will never allow these despicable people to see me joke."

"Never allow."

When she said the last sentence, Xie Minyun's greasy and jade-like profile reflected a huge sunset, which made the rational brilliance of the day trampled by this blurred color, matched with her lonely and desolate expression, like an unknown doomsday. come.

Beauty, lying in the middle of Chengmo's vision, turns everything in this world into vain.

Her long hair lifted by the evening wind, long eyelashes, jewel-like pupils, pretty nose bridge and thin cherry lips are rolling in the surging clouds, making all the like "dream", "glamorous", "" Words like "sweet" fade away.

But for Cheng Mo at this moment, the air is full of deadly toxins. He turned his head away and held his breath: "One monster will never make fun of another monster."
