Traveling through the world of beasts: Encyclopedia System
Chapter 233 233
Xu Mingxu's face darkened: "What do you mean?"
Huan Chuan was asking Ye about the situation there, and before he could answer, Xu Mingxu became even more impatient.
He absolutely could not accept the failure of his plan. He wanted to get this tribe, and he wanted it now!
"What do you mean?!" Xu Mingxu bared his teeth and let out a threatening growl from his throat, as if he was about to pounce on Huan Chuan and bite his neck off.
Huan Chuan sighed: "Because you underestimated the orcs. In your opinion, they are barbaric, stupid, and disorderly. But in the beginning, it was because Ye discovered that there was something wrong with you that we started to act with you."
In fact, at one point, Huan Chuan also thought that orcs were a race without order, without brains, and completely barbaric and chaotic. However, during the time he was in the wolf tribe, he truly lived with them, met Lang Fu, Yu Qi, and Ye.
They stood in front of him so vividly, living and laughing, and he realized that there was no difference between them. They all had their own strengths, weaknesses and personalities.
“We call ourselves civilized modern people, but if we are not standing on the wisdom of our predecessors, we are not much more civilized than them.”
Huanchuan thought with great irony: These civilized people are now scheming against each other here, and even mocking the orcs for being rude.
"Then I really underestimated him." Xu Mingxu finally lowered his head. He now understood that everything between Huan Chuan and Ye was just acting to deceive him.
He couldn't suppress the irritation in his heart. Why did he fail again? He shouldn't have failed!
Why was he not even as good as these barbarians? He shouldn't be such a loser! He was not a loser.
He continued to pace in the same place. Since Ye was outside the city and had already made preparations, it seemed that other support outside the city would not come. He had to think of other solutions now! Or give up this tribe. After he killed Huan Chuan, he followed the system's prompts, completed the task, and left.
"Since he knew I wanted to kill you, why did he let you stay in the city alone? Isn't he afraid that I would kill you?!" Xu Mingxu thought clearly about the escape route and gradually calmed down. He was now an orc with much better physical fitness than Huan Chuan, so it was still easy for him to subdue him.
Huan Chuan knew what he was going to do, so he took out a pistol from his backpack and said, "There are still a few rounds left in it. Even if I can't kill you directly, I can still cause you some trouble."
Seeing Huan Chuan's emotionless eyes and steady hands, Xu Mingxu smiled bitterly: "How could you be so heartless? I thought you would let me go because we are old friends."
Huan Chuan felt that his words were a bit shameless, and couldn't help but retort: "Don't you feel guilty for saying this? Didn't you just want to kill me and complete the mission from the beginning?"
"Of course not." Xu Mingxu took a half step back, allowing Huan Chuan's tense nerves to relax a little.
"You don't think that what I told you back then was all false, did you?" There wasn't much expression or look on Xu Mingxu's furry face, but Huan Chuan could hear a bitter feeling in his tone.
He sat down, seemingly giving up resistance: "That's all true."
For him, showing his failure to others is more unacceptable than failure itself.
The calmness he displays is actually built on his success.
Many people say that he is a genius. He is indeed very smart, but he is definitely not a genius. In order to maintain those praises and perfection, he has to spend more time than others to maintain his image.
Because of this excellence and perfection, he attracted more people who praised him highly, making it increasingly difficult for him to show his true self. He also became increasingly unable to tolerate any failure on his part. Even something as small as coughing in a public place would attract his attention.
The flattery and pursuit made him completely forget what kind of person he was. Those small excellences and successes could no longer satisfy him. He became more and more courageous and wanted more and more things, which made him unable to see clearly his own situation.
Until his company was reported and his competitors maliciously spread rumors, Xu Mingxu, who was desperate to regain what belonged to him, finally fell into the trap. The company went bankrupt, he was penniless and in debt.
Such a huge mistake was not only unacceptable to him personally, but even more terrifying were the people and flattery that left him as his fame and fortune disappeared.
That period was such a huge blow to him that he numbed himself with alcohol and his mother had to find a way to help him pay off his debts.
Soon, his mother finally fell ill and left him soon.
His life, which was once envied by everyone, fell into a slump. He was driven crazy by the huge gap and jumped off the roof in a daze.
When the system bound him, it not only agreed to return to his original world, but also that he could take back the things that originally belonged to him.
"You don't understand at all. I didn't intend to take your life. If you had been obedient and handed over the entire tribe to me, I might have let you live a little longer because you are my friend." Xu Mingxu was not in a hurry to complete the mission and go back.
He just needs to do something now to prove that he is not useless.
When he learned from the system that his old friend owned a rapidly growing tribe, the first thing he thought of was not how to complete the system's task and get rid of Huan Chuan, but how to seize the power from him.
He hadn't felt the feeling of being admired for a long time. Although he was very prestigious in his current tribe, it was not enough. He wanted something more.
"I know that although you are kind-hearted, you will not give away the tribe you built with your own hands. What's more, you have a powerful barbarian by your side, so I can at least rob him!"
When Huan Chuan heard him say these words, he still remembered Xu Mingxu, who was very thoughtful in everything he did when he was a child. All the parents of the children who played with him at that time liked him very much.
He did receive a lot of compliments at that time, but he never imagined that these compliments would eventually turn such a good person into like this.
Huan Chuan frowned and said, "Old Xu, you are already very good. Why do you want to become perfect?"
Xu Mingxu noticed that Huan Chuan relaxed for a moment, grinned, and pounced on him.
