I'm playing cards in Douluo

You Cheng walked through the door with Xiao Wu in tow, and an extremely vast hall appeared in front of him. In the hall, there were numerous counters filled with a dazzling array of items.

Rare minerals, secret medicines, weapons, unique books, rare herbs, core components of soul beasts...

Looking around, all kinds of items filled the eyelids, and looking at the color, it was clear that these things were not ordinary things.

"Haha, this little brother, what do you need?" While You Cheng was staring at the many items on the counter, a young man in Tsing Yi walked over with a smile on his face and pulled out a black long sword from the cabinet. .

"The black steel sword is made of hundreds of times tempered black steel. It blows the hair off and breaks the hair. It is extremely sharp. Moreover, this weapon has been infused with soul power by a soul master. It can pierce through any armor, no matter how hard it is. It is not inferior to swords." Martial spirit, if I hold it, it will be even more powerful."

You Cheng glanced at the black steel sword, and saw that the aura of soul power lingered on it, and a faint luster flashed, which seemed to be quite extraordinary.

Shaking his head, You Cheng had no interest in this thing, and it was not an interesting item. Almost any soul master could do this. As for competing with sword-type martial souls, that was really a given.

There may be some hope that this thing can fool young people who have never seen it on the market, but Youcheng is obviously not one of them.

Seeing this, the boy had no choice but to put away the steel sword angrily, and once again took the trouble to introduce other things.

You Cheng ignored him, and his eyes slowly swept across the counter. After a moment, his eyes suddenly paused, and where he saw, a palm-sized pink bag was placed there. On the surface of the bag, there is a strange luster.

"The low-level space soul guide, after being identified by our appraiser, is made of special soul beast leather, and is engraved with soul guide patterns by a powerful soul master. Despite its small size, it is enough to fit on the counter. Carrying such a big thing with you can save you a lot of trouble.”

Seeing that You Cheng seemed to be interested in the space soul guide, the boy in green clothes quickly introduced it with a smile.

You Cheng was surprised at first, but he didn't expect that the soul master here could actually identify the material it was made of, and could also observe the soul guide lines, which was really unusual.

According to this analysis, decompose.

I'm afraid that after a while, maybe people in Douluo Continent can produce space soul guides by themselves, right?

However, how long this period of time will last cannot be confirmed.

Maybe it's ten years, maybe it's a hundred years.

Who knows.

After all, soul guidance patterns cannot be carved easily, and such special soul beast leather is not available all over the street. Even what kind of soul beast is needed, where, etc. are all a problem.

It's like trying to climb a technology tree.

To unlock a certain technology, you must first meet the prerequisites. After all the technology restrictions of all members are completed, the technological route will naturally be completed.

The soul masters and ordinary people in Douluo Continent are currently in this stage.

Among them, as scientific research and development personnel, the number of Douluo Continent is obviously very small. Naturally, not many focus on development, and even if there are talents in this field, they are more inclined to the theoretical knowledge of soul masters rather than technological level.

Only in the peerless Tang Sect period, with the support of fresh blood from the Sun and Moon Continent, the intervention of new soul guidance device theories, development, carving knives, soul guidance routes and other technological routes, can the Douluo Continent slowly develop to the modern level. within the situation.

But for now, Douluo Continent is still a typical feudal fantasy world.

"Xiao Wu, do you like it?"

You Cheng asked Xiao Wu's opinion.

It is shaped like a pink bag, similar to a purse. It does not have too many decorations and looks quite simple.

"Well, pink is pretty pretty, I like it, but..."

Xiao Wu didn't say that it was too expensive.

After hesitating for a while, she still said: "Actually, I am a child and don't need such things."

"Humph~"

You Cheng shook his head, hummed softly, and said domineeringly to Xiao Wu: "Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem."

At this moment, Xiao Wu was shocked.

She raised her head blankly and looked at You Cheng with a look of disbelief.

But the next moment, Xiao Wu's eyes suddenly brightened a little, joy rushed to her brows, and she said decisively to the pink space soul guide: "I want this."

Seeing this, the boy quickly quoted a price with a smile. It was not expensive, only twenty or thirty thousand gold soul coins.

You Cheng must be able to get the gold soul coins. With a wave of his hand, a box of money boxes appeared on the counter. In the surprised eyes of the waiter, he counted them and confirmed that they were correct, then took out the pink purse on the counter. , respectfully handed it to You Cheng's hand.

Indeed, Youcheng did not pay with a debit card, but with cash.

In this day and age, who goes to the store and buys things with cash?

Yes, there is such a thing as a bank in Douluo Continent.

There are also debit cards.

Even Shrek Dean Flanders spent money directly with a black card.

Only smaller stores that do not support this card payment method will use cash.

After collecting the pink purse, You Cheng took Xiao Wu's hand and handed it to her.

As soon as she got it, Xiao Wu couldn't wait to hold the space soul guide in her hand, looked left and right, and closed her eyes to feel the space inside it with her mental power. She was pleasantly surprised.

As for You Cheng, when Xiao Wu was studying this space soul guide, he became curious and began to use his mental power to analyze the materials and textures in it.

In a corner of the hall of the Strange Objects Building, there sat a sleepy old man in gray clothes. His surroundings seemed very messy and incompatible with the neat and tidy Strange Objects Building, but there was no one there at all. One person made a noise to disturb him, and some people walking by him, whether they were customers or managers, were walking with their feet full and did not dare to disturb him.

As for the things around him, the old man seemed to have no feeling at all. He closed his eyes and fell into a shaky drowsiness. However, this drowsy state was suddenly broken at a certain moment. His closed eyes opened instantly, and his sight As soon as he turned around, he froze on a young girl not far from the hall. A look of deep shock flashed through her eyes, and a murmur slowly sounded out.

"What a strange smell!"

"Somewhat similar to a soul beast, but not quite like it."

........

After buying the space soul guide, You Cheng continued to look around.

Secret medicines are generally those that stimulate potential but have endless side effects, and are used in desperate situations.

It's just that this kind of product is too popular. It can only be said that the effect is average and the side effects are quite serious.

At least from his perspective, it might as well be produced by Wuhun Palace itself.

It's far less powerful than the card gives him.

After all, he still has a lot of tricks.

To hold on to death means to improve your strength by one level below level [-], and it is even regarded as a magic medicine.

Of course, for a soul master who doesn't have many ways to save his life, being able to temporarily increase his strength by one level is definitely a very powerful anti-kill weapon.

And for the city tour...level one?

Is that called promotion?

However, after seeing these popular secret medicines and techniques, You Cheng's mind turned and he realized that as a teacher, he really needed to provide Xiao Wu with some effective fighting methods.

For example, teach her how to duel.

For example, give her some life-saving means.

Otherwise, if he was casually hung up and beaten by an opponent of the same level but one or two levels higher, wouldn't that mean he would be completely embarrassed?

For a moment, You Cheng suddenly became a little awakened.

No wonder, those civilian soul masters simply can't compete with those elite soul masters who have the support of high-level experts.

At the same time, I also understood that I had finally reached the opposite side of the proletarian soul master. Now, as my strength increases, I will eventually become stronger, and the people I protect will also become stronger and stronger.

And with his own strong strength, if he also intends to form a Tang Sect organization like Tang San, or establish a duel academy like Shrek Academy.

Then what is the difference between him and Tang San in later generations, ordinary time travelers, and normal strong soul masters, such as Qian Daoliubo Saisi Haotian Sect and others?

No difference.

"By simply preparing means for Xiao Wu, you can realize that dragon slayers will eventually become evil dragons. Youcheng, Youcheng, are you already pessimistic about the future..."

A slightly sarcastic voice sounded from deep in his heart, echoing slowly in the deep spiritual space.

"Yes, I feel that human soul masters are nothing more than this. Just like history, the only lesson humans learn from history is that they never learn any lessons. It is like a circle, or a wheel, it Constantly spinning, it will eventually return to the end. From my point of view, if I really build a duel academy and everyone plays cards happily together, but in the future, there will definitely still be something like Shrek Academy. situation, a replica of Poseidon Pavilion, a group of corrupt but powerful soul masters, an alternative class system, racial antagonism, class antagonism, etc. This is not the future I want to see."

You Cheng sighed, suddenly feeling confused about the future.

Even if he successfully rescued the teacher and pulled Bibi Dong back from the abyss of the Rakshasa God, so what?

Even if the future changes, this destined thing will still follow this established path with a power he cannot imagine.

Just like the name of the first episode of Three Kingdoms.

Speaking of the general trend of the world, if things are divided for a long time, they will be reunited and if they are united for a long time, they will be divided.

Suppose he resolves the dispute between Tiandou and Star Luo Empire and unifies Douluo Continent, but will it continue to split into two or three independent countries in the future and continue to fight? The probability of this happening is too high ,too big.

You Cheng doesn’t even know what he can change if he travels through time.

Perhaps, like Tang San in the original work, not changing anything and letting it develop on its own is the best result, right?

Since this class problem cannot be solved, it is better to enjoy it quietly and become the most powerful existence in this bourgeoisie without being exploited by anyone.

It's just that as a powerful existence in this, it is itself based on the exploitation of countless people.

"Yes, we are just ordinary people. We can change the world, maybe only for a while. You should know that the reason why I am here is because you have also imagined that it would be better to be selfish. Ordinary people in Douluo Continent survive. What does it have to do with us? Are we really raised by peasant parents in this life and have a salvation mentality for all ordinary people and peasants? Haha~"

An Yujo's words are full of cold sarcasm, or it could be said that he is the dark side of Yujo himself and has dark thoughts towards everyone.

Of course, it's a good thing to think like this.

This means that as a time-traveler, Youcheng is not an idiot.

An Yucheng's words continued. He wanted Yucheng to realize the darkness in his heart.

"Changing the world and changing others is something that only saints can do, such as Laozi and Mencius. But you don't have the ability. So be aware of this and don't be obsessed with it."

Hearing this, You Cheng fell silent.

Yes.

In his previous life, he was on the water blue star, the country of China.

The reason why it has a history of 5000 years and why the moral level at the ideological level is so high is not because from ancient times, sages have been revising the great works day and night and passing on the history, so that we can reach the present world. The second economy and the top three military powers in the world.

But what virtue and ability does he have that can change the Douluo Continent, which is several times larger than the territory of China, and even the other Sun-Moon Continent, Star Luo Continent, and even the Douluo Star that affects the entire planet?

For a time, You Cheng fell into deep introspection.

After a long time, in the mental space, with his back to Anyou City, he slowly raised his head.

One light and one shadow, like a world of opposites, with darkness crisscrossing each other.

And Youcheng stands under the light.

Anyoucheng stood in the deep shadow.

When the light shines down, there is endless darkness below, and the sky above is like a scorching sun.

From a certain perspective, Dark City is a shadow of You City itself, darker and more inhumane.

What he said is true.

You Cheng couldn't refute, so he could only fall into thinking. This was very important to him, because it involved his judgment of the future and how he should decide on his own direction.

It has the same purpose as the Taoist aspirations, obsessions, and ambitions in the world of cultivating immortals.

It is not far different from those people in modern life who talk about breaking away from vulgar taste.

However, although you talk about breaking away from vulgar taste, in fact, your honest body may not be mentally prepared yet.

The opposition between reality and spirit, thinking, constant thinking.

How should he choose his detachment? How should he decide his future? Is he really capable of changing Douluo Continent?

Is it to transcend everything, cut off all shackles, and just be free in the world, not to worry about any fetters, not to be contaminated by cause and effect, to be a guest in the mortal world, and look at the world with a smile?

Or is it that regardless of the bleak road ahead, facing every choice in life without hesitation and moving forward, it is meaningless?

You Cheng felt as if he was trapped in a vast sea of ​​thoughts. He was at the center of the swirling undercurrent, being pulled continuously, as if he was about to be buried in the deepest abyss.

He thought a lot.

Living in the Spirit Hall, all kinds of concerns are with him. If one day, Xie Yue, as a brother, gets married and starts a business, and the people in the family are evil and care about human life, but Xie Yue's backer is him.

If one day, he married Hu Liena and gave birth to an heir. Under the inheritance of blood, his descendants would one day do something outrageous to all gods, such as opening the gate of the abyss and becoming the leader of Douluo Continent, making Douluo... Hundreds of millions of people died on the mainland.

If his descendants bully others and others endure it because of You Cheng's identity and strength, they will still die.

So, is he, Yu Cheng, mentally prepared to become a villain ancestor in this world?

Facing these tortures, You Cheng remained silent for a long time in his spiritual space, and then said hoarsely: "You are right, I will not become a saint."

In the shadows, An Youcheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

Very well, only selfishness can lead to the best life in this world.

Just like Tang San who became a god in the original work.

He and You Cheng can also become such existences.

Wouldn't it be good to always enjoy the peak power?

But the next moment, Youcheng continued.

"But my becoming stronger is not to destroy the world, but to make it better. I will guide the world, I will watch it, eliminate all sources that will lead to destruction, maintain stability, listen to the voices of the people, and I will become .........god."

"At least I want to give it a try instead of living my pale life as a mediocre high-level thug."

"I think there is a very good passage in a book from my previous life."

"A person's life should be spent like this: when he looks back on the past, he will not regret for wasting his years, nor be ashamed of being inactive. Only then when he is dying can he say: My life and All experiences are dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world - the struggle for the liberation of mankind."

"I'm not trying to liberate mankind. I just want to live a wonderful life."

In one breath, You Cheng confided his feelings.

After listening, Anyoucheng was silent for a long time, and the corners of his mouth that were originally raised turned into an arc.

He sighed: "Is this your answer? You are as stubborn as ever. Have you ever thought about how many enemies you will face? There will definitely be people closest to you. When you rule the world, there will be countless People want you to wear a yellow robe, but if you don’t do what they want, haha~”

"Then will you face it with me?" You Cheng asked.

a long time.

An Youcheng's cold words slowly sounded out. He seemed to be sighing, but also seemed to be responding to the child's unreasonable request.

"Forget it, just think of it as playing with you. After all, you are me~"

The next moment, the shadow at the feet of You Cheng slowly stood up, forming an existence exactly like You Cheng, a person and a shadow standing side by side in the sun.

The pitch-black abyss beneath our feet gradually turned into reality.

He has made up his mind.
