Book 4 Chapter 29: Direction

The request of Zhou Yiyu could be said to be very reckless and even excessive .

If someone else had heard such a request, they would have to suspect Zhou Yiyu’s purpose, but Shen Yi thought that that person was very interesting .

 

A young man, very cool, a little smart but not too cunning .

 

  

 

He just thought for a moment and nodded in agreement .

 

People couldn’t act by logic alone, sometimes feelings were also important .

 

This time Shen Yi purely acted by feeling .

 

He opened his Bloody Crest for Zhou Yiyu to see .

 

Zhou Yiyu honestly, but bluntly, read all of Shen Yi’s stats .

 

After he was done reading, he said: “You are definitely the most powerful adventurer I have ever seen . Unfortunately, your strength is more suitable for use in team operations than for one-on-one . In the fight just now, it is a pity that you could only exert half of your strength . “

 

“Do you have any good suggestion?”

 

“Yes, I have!” Zhou Yiyu very sure nodded: “Your Innate Talent is actually very strong and has a wide range of applications . Although it is not prominent enough, as long as it is properly used it will be very good . I think you are more suitable for integrated combat, and are not suitable for a simple fighting style . With such an Innate Talent and skills … Speaking of the main enhancing direction, I think there is a Class suitable for you . “

 

“What is it?”

 

“Marksman . ”

 

This was the first time Shen Yi heard someone give him such a positive answer .

 



  

 

The SUV still ran along the rugged road, and Xi Xiaofan had fallen asleep in the rear seats .

 

The atmosphere in the vehicle carried some strange tranquility .

 

After Zhou Yiyu said that sentence, Shen Yan was silent for a long time .

 

He was thinking .

 

Zhou Yiyu did not disturb him .

 

After a while, Shen Yi said: “My Delicacy gives a very significant improvement effect when using firearm, whether in training or for practical aspects . However, firearm is no longer popular in Difficulty Level 2, isn’t it? “

 

“Yes, but not popular does not mean not easy to use . It isn’t popular because the vast majority of people always feel safer with the ability to rely on their own strength, which is more reliable than external force . ”

 

“That is, relying on powerful external forces means adventurers themselves are fragile . Many people cannot accept that . ”

 

“But that kind of power is more immediate . ”

 

“Many people say that relying to that kind of power means you are short-sighted, and some people even think that only people who pursue of power without the help of foreign objects can develop their power to the limit . “

 

Zhou Yiyu glared Shen Yi: “Do you think this theory is right or wrong? I personally think that the one said these word simply read too many wuxia novels . ”

 

Shen Yu also laughed: “I think humans are the ultimate species on Earth, not because we know how to develop muscle strength, but because we are arbitrarily dismissive of foreign objects . The so-called saying of ‘not relying on foreign objects’, that is for animals like a tiger or a wolf, but not for humans . And in a place like Bloody City, sometimes it is not necessary for us to plan too far . ”

 

Zhou Yiyu gave him a thumbs-up: “Since you have understood, why do you still hesitate? I am very sure of my guess . Marksman is definitely not weak, but this Class does not meet the standards of the strength in everyone’s mind . So many adventurers are reluctant to take this route . ”

 

“Because here is Bloody City! It is primitive and brutal, bloody, and cruel . On the African savannah, you cannot conquer the land with a shotgun; the moment the bullet is exhausted, death is your inevitable result . A truly powerful hunter must be at the top of the food chain in the grasslands, and even the lions or leopards can only be meals on their plate . A good gun may make you more powerful than any beast, but in a crisis environment, the survival ability must be the top priority . In Bloody City, the survival ability and attack ability are two separate concepts . Buying the firearms only enhance the ability to attack, and does not enhance the ability to survive . So we can ignore the saying of ‘not relying on foreign objects’, but we can’t disregard the necessity of making ourselves become powerful on our own . Compared to a Rank D robot, I would also prefer a Rank D skill, even if the former is more powerful and practical than the latter . Moreover, there is a benefit in doing so, which is that it makes me less special . ”

 



Zhou Yiyu sighed: “I know what kind of person you are . You have seen many things clearly, but would rather choose to go with the flow, just because you do not want to isolate yourself . ”

 

Shen Yi smiled: “Yes, it’s as if we all know that we can’t bring money with us when we die, so  it’s meaningless to pursue it . But if we are allowed to give up the pursuit of money, we will find that is very hard to do so . Seeing through the fact is one thing, but becoming a maverick is another thing . Maybe you are right, and most people are wrong . But if you are the only one who thinks you are right, you are alone . I do not like that . I do not want to be unconventional, and suddenly stand out of the crowd, and have to be alone, arrogant, lonely, complacent, and sad, and scorn the world . I am willing to be a layman, and to be mediocre . ”

 

“So that’s why you can get along well, and why I do not even have a friend now . ” Zhou Yiyu lashed a spontaneous response .

 

There was no doubt that Zhou Yiyu was also a clever young man, but he was obviously going too far as a maverick, with the result that most adventurers ignored him . Just thinking of his brand-name clothing and distinctive enhancing direction, his problem could be seen clearly .

 

Shen Yi was good at figuring out people’s hearts . He was very clear that he could be better than others, but should not behave differently than others .

 

In addition, Marksman might not be weak, but it would inevitably lead to waste of attributes . Therefore, people who took this route often had extremely low attributes and excellent equipment . As a result, they had low viability and easily led others to jealousy .

 

The reason adventurers were not keen on equipment reinforcement was because buying equipments usually a forced choice, which was made after they couldn’t open another strengthening system, the price of adding attributes became too high and their skill bar became full .


 

Equipment was a foreign force, while it enhanced one’s own strength, it would also attract unwanted attention from greedy adventurers .

 

Enhancing by using foreign objects was not only inconsistent with the adventurers in terms of values, but it also reduced personal viability and carried great hidden dangers in making friends . Despite having a great ability to attack, it did almost nothing for survival, and so most of adventurers would not take this route .

 

At that moment, the two men were sympathetic to each other .

 

Shen Yi said: “Tell me about what the Class system is in the end . Since you say Marksman suits me, you should know something . Speaking of this, enhancing by using foreign objects have so many drawbacks, there should always be some corresponding benefits . Bloody City should not have incompetent form of enhancing, only the incompetent adventurers . Maybe if you put it well, I will really listen to your opinion . ”

 

Zhou Yiyu was about to answer, but suddenly remembered something, and, pointing at Shen Yi, he strangely shouted: “Hey, you change the topic too much . I obviously asked you in the end whether you want to invite me to join the team, and you are turning around to extort me of my information . ”

 

Shen Yi laughed: “Do not misunderstand . I just do not know how to choose . ”

 

“Do you mean me?”

 

“I don’t mean that . My team and I have experienced a few mission worlds together before we became familiar with each other and finally formed a team . You also know that the selection of comrade is a major event, requiring not just the fighting ability, but also mutual trust and understanding . My impression of you is good, but that does not mean that others can accept you . So, it may take some time for us to understand each other . ”

 



“I understand what you mean . You want to wait for other companions to accept me as well . Ok, then let’s just leave it at that . Anyway, we will take risks together on this mission . Let me join or not, that’s a decision for all of you to make . ”

 

Although Shen Yi usually showed an arrogant behavior, in fact, he knew how to respect others very well . For example, his teammates always called Luo Hao Fatty, but Shen Yi always called Luo Hao only by his name .

 

This respect seemed simple, but it was these innumerable details that prompted his gain of recognition .

 

“About Class…” Shen Yi asked .

 

“Sorry, I’m not your teammate right now . I don’t provide valuable information unconditionally . You either pay money to buy it, or wait for a period of time before I join the team and then I can provide it for free . I’m not a person who would beg to join a team, not to mention that you are still in big trouble now . ”

 

He was referring to Xie Rongjun and his team Strike The Blood .

 

Shen Yi nodded: “Well, I am not anxious anyway . I believe we still have a great chance to fight side by side . The issue of Class can wait for a while . It is imperative to find my teammates first . ”

 

Shen Yu said while opening the positioning function .

 

To his surprise, this time he finally got a response .

 

A red bright spot was continuously blinking on the screen created by Bloody Crest .

 

“That’s Jin Gang! He is near here, let’s go help him! Jin Gang, I located you!” He shouted that last sentence to the team channel .

 

In the team channel, Jin Gang’s voice also expressed excitement: “Quick, come and help me . Damn, I can’t hold longer!”

 

The SUV suddenly accelerated .

 

————-

 

Jin Gang almost went crazy due to being pursued by Skynet Terminator army .

 

Unlike Shen Yi who had settled the first round of pursuing force on the mothership, he was hunted down all the way .

 

If it wasn’t for the comprehensive strengthening of attributes that enabled him to run almost as fast as a car, he would have been caught up by the Terminator by now . But no matter how fast he ran and even if he left the pursuing forces far behind, if he just stopped for a bit and took a break, these tireless machines would catch up .

 

It seemed like they always knew where he was, and no matter how far, they would always keep finding him, following him and chasing him .

 

So now he could only desperately run, and behind him was a large number of Terminator robots chasing . The bullets clamored as they chased after him, sweeping around him . Jin Gang was like a gorilla, jumping around the ruins of the city, avoiding the hunters’ attack as he searched for escape routes .

 

Not far from him, there were two adventurers who were also being hunted down, one tall and one thin .

 

Now, the thin adventurer ran in the forefront, while Jin Gang and the tall adventurer ran side-by-side in unison .

 

A Terminator T-600 was about to catch up to Jin Gang and the tall man . The two men suddenly turned back at the same time, and they retreated while firing at the Terminator .

 

The Terminator withstood the hail of bullets to shorten the distance . When it was close, both of them simultaneously abandoned their guns and struck the Terminator with their fists . A red light flashed on that tall adventurer’s fist . Apparently his puch was accompanied by a skill effect, so that Terminator was smashed and sent flying .

 

A large number of bullets poured out again, finally penetrating the alloy steel plate on the Terminator’s chest .

 

As a round of ammunition drilled through its Energy Core, the Terminator immediately shut down .

 

However, in such a short delay, several other Terminator caught up .

 

The tall adventurer readily grabbed a Terminator that rushed to the side and threw it a short distance away, nearly hitting Jin Gang .

 

Jin Gang dodged sideways, but he was slowed down a bit . He shouted: “Damn you, be careful!”

 

That adventurer just grunted, ignoring Jin Gang, and continued to run .

 

Obviously, he had done it on purpose .
