A Million Possible

"On behalf of myself?" Lin Jian, upon hearing the other party's undisguised words, Cheng Lin couldn't help asking rhetorically.

Then Shi Shengcun nodded and said:

"As for your guess, I didn't report it, so of course I can't represent everyone, I can only represent myself, but I think it doesn't make much difference."

These words suddenly sounded a little ambiguity, but Cheng Lin understood.

Shi Shengcun really can't represent anyone, but with his status and height in the Special Administrative Department, the rest of the Special Administrative Department must respect Shi Shengcun's opinions even if it is finally reported.

And this means that they have a basis for negotiation with each other.

"I think, I probably understand." Cheng Lin nodded, was silent for a few seconds, and then asked, "Then your attitude is...cooperation?"

"Of course, I think you should not resist this, otherwise, you will not come here." Shi Shengcun answered calmly.

After a pause, when Cheng Lin was silent, he continued:

"After Li Yang came back last time, he told me what he witnessed in the projection. I was surprised and surprised. I wanted to know more. However, I don’t ask you to tell everything now. We can slow down. Slow down, but before that, I wish I could know what you want."

What do you want...

Cheng Lin fell silent. If he really wants to cooperate, then Xia Guo's needs are very clear.

One is seeking his own combat power, and the other is the desire for the so-called "Cheng senior inheritance." This does not need to be said by the other party, it is a very clear thing, then, the rest is his own appeal.

But what do you want... Cheng Lin was really hard to answer for a while.

What do you want?

At first, his needs were very simple, that is, to have enough self-protection ability in this world that has become unfamiliar, so that he can not become the fish under the knife on the chopping board when encountering danger.

Later, he got to know some friends, and he also had people he cared about. His needs expanded slightly, and he wanted to be able to protect his friends.

But then? He didn't think about it seriously.

Prosperity and wealth? Prominent high position and wealth that lasts forever? Are these good? Naturally it is good.

Cheng Lin asked himself that he had always been a layman, and he didn't shy away from this, but when all of this was already within reach, he realized that he didn't want these, or... it was not exactly these.

What do I want?

Thinking about this question, Cheng Lin suddenly remembered the hot pot meal that he had eaten in the small villa in the spirit world not long ago, the elves running and laughing outside the house, everyone ate and drank and fell asleep peacefully while watching the movie...

He thought of Slender West Lake again, thought of wandering around the world with Caowei Wu You carefree, thought of the college classrooms, thought of Huabei who is always on a small run and those who are not familiar with but are kind of classmates...

Then, he suddenly had an answer in his heart.

In the silent night breeze, Cheng Lin squinted his eyes, looked at the world dazzled by the misty light and shadow, and said:

"I want to...just as before."

"Same as before?" Shi Shengcun was obviously astonished, and he didn't seem to expect to hear such an answer.

"Yes, that's it," Cheng Lin seemed to understand something. He smiled at the corner of his mouth and sighed softly. "I, I have no ambitions, I have always been like this, so there is no ambition, if you If I don’t take the initiative to reveal, then I might choose to continue to hide, and then enter the first division, do tasks with other people, accumulate merits, then redeem the holidays, repeat the cycle, and continue to live normally. Yes, all I want is this. That's it."

Shi Shengcun looked at him deeply, and after a long while, he said with a complicated expression:

"Your answer surprised me, but... I'm sorry, I can't give it right now.""For the time being?" Cheng Lin caught the word.

Shi Shengcun nodded and said sternly:

"Indeed, if you are just an ordinary low-level cultivator, maybe, all of this is simple, but you are not. I am not sure whether other countries and forces have collected enough information through channels to find your true identity. The clue...Even if there is no such thing for a while, you will always know, and this day may come soon."

Cheng Lin didn't speak, and acquiesced in what he said.

"And once other people know your identity, then you will no longer be able to escape the storm that comes from it. Even if you avoid it, trouble will find you."

"So... you mean, you can't give me what I want?" Cheng Lin seemed to sneer.

Shi Shengcun said calmly: "No. It just takes a while."

"What do you want to do?" Cheng Lin vaguely noticed something.

Shi Shengcun said in a serious tone: "Once and for all!"

Seeing Cheng Lin raised his eyebrows, he slowly said:

"What you want is stability, and what I want is the same, and if you want to do this, you must smooth the chaotic situation. The world of spiritual practice has been in chaos for a long time. When it comes to establishing order, I After being promoted to the eighth stage, I originally wanted to do this, but because of some accidents, the process was delayed."

Speaking of this, he spoke for a while, took a look at Cheng Lin, and then continued:

"After that, Lancelot broke eight and began to counterattack, causing the fragile order to collapse again, and now, maybe it's finally time for a showdown...that's why I entered this projection..."

Seeing Cheng Lin's expression moved slightly, Shi Shengcun carried his hands on his back and said lightly:

"I guess... you should have noticed when you came. Li Yang did not participate in this operation."

"I heard that he was left outside to sit in town." Cheng Lin said.

"Sitting in town is false. His true intention is to take advantage of this opportunity to take the initiative to attack and launch a counterattack." Shi Shengcun said astonishingly, "Bernard's Death is an excellent opportunity, and it is also an opportunity that we can't miss. I will lead someone. Entering the projection, if the Federation is unwilling to give up, it must send Lancelot to bring people here, and this will inevitably lead to emptiness behind them.

Outsiders thought that Li Yang hadn't healed from his injury last time, but even if he was injured, he was still at the seventh stage after all!

If nothing else, at this moment, he should have led people to sweep up the various key overseas strongholds of the Federation, and then attack the mainland of the West Continent! "

This is... take the initiative?

Cheng Lin's face was calm, but his heart was already filled with waves. He quickly sorted out Shi Shengcun's thoughts and realized that it was a "conspiracy"!

Xingshi moved the crowd to force Lancelot to face off. If the opponent gave up entering the projection, it would be equivalent to actively surrendering. On a global scale, the momentum will inevitably fall, and Xia Guo can take advantage of the situation to reach the top.

And if Lancelot accepts the move, he will give him a chance. This is a crisis of lack of top combat power!

Presumably Lancelot should also be very clear about this, but he had to deal with it in this way, and if he thinks in another way, from Lancelot's perspective, this time, he will inevitably suffer a great loss anyway.

So instead of hiding in the homeland, it is better to face the enemy head-on, so that there is a chance of a comeback.

As long as Shi Shengcun is defeated in the front battlefield, that is, in this projection, even if there are some losses in the rear, it can be restored. Similarly, if Shi Shengcun wins, it is a big victory, which is enough to set the rules of the global practice world for many years.

This is the so-called "Once and Forever!"

Wanting to understand this, Cheng Lin couldn't help but move:

"So, you mean... this time, you are going to fight Lancelot head-on?"

"To be precise, he must defeat me, so I have no retreat." Shi Shengcun replied with deep eyes.

Cheng Lin didn't know what to say for a while. Before that, although he knew about this global cultivator gathering, he didn't think that the two 8-Ranks would fight directly. Not only him, but others also had similar ideas.

The battle of the eight ranks will inevitably lead to great upheavals for the entire practitioner and affect the world pattern.

When everyone thinks about it, this must be a prudent and cautious thing. It can't be so hasty, but the facts are defeated. Obviously, Shi Shengcun is unwilling to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Once the Federation slows down and a new Seventh Rank is born, there may never be such a good fighter.

"Are you confident? I mean...your injury." Cheng Lin moved his lips slightly, and finally asked the question he was most concerned about.

Although Shi Shengcun was promoted to the eighth rank earlier, he was injured after all, and Lancelot was in full bloom!

Moreover, Shi Shengcun is a perception system. Innate is not as good as the elemental Lancelot in terms of combat. If there is a level of suppression, you can’t see the advantages and disadvantages, but once the two sides are on the same stage, Cheng Lin is hard to imagine. This difference will be What a result.

Hearing what he said, Shi Shengcun smiled silently and said slowly:

"If you have been in contact with me for a long time, you will understand that I never fight unprepared battles."

Cheng Lin thought about the fact that he deceived his superiors and treated everyone and even himself as "consumables" in a certain game, and suddenly frowned and asked:

"You're not going to blew yourself up? The kind of death with him?"

"What?" Shi Shengcun was stunned. He didn't expect Cheng Lin to suddenly say such a sentence. After a long time, he suffocated a sentence: "Your idea is very unique."

"..." Cheng Lin smiled awkwardly, realizing that he might be thinking too much, after all, this is not a desperate situation.

But then I thought about it and couldn't help but slander: This is not to blame me, who made you have a criminal record?

After a short silence, Cheng Lin turned to ask:

"I think you are not just talking to me when you say this."

"Indeed, I need your help." Shi Shengcun did not shy away from it.

Cheng Lin said, "I haven't agreed to cooperate, so you want me to contribute?"

"This is also a good thing for you. As long as we succeed, we will set the rules for the world of spiritual practice in the next ten years. At that time, no one can threaten you. I can satisfy your wishes and will not impose on you. For the tasks you don't want to take, you can take the salary and go to the world to play." Shi Shengcun said.

"The kind of paid vacation?" Cheng Lin looked at him with slanted eyes.

"It can be understood so." Shi Shengcun was extremely solemn, "And if we fail, then you will not be able to enjoy peace alone. You killed Bernard, right? This matter, the Federation will not treat it as never happened."

Cheng Lin pursed his lips for a long time, then raised his head, under the starlight, proactively stretched out his right hand:

"So...cooperate..."

Shi Shengcun also stretched out his hand to hold it, very hard:

"Cooperation...happy!"

...

...

"Shoo!"

In the dim forest, Sun Xiao wiped off his sweat, put down the huge earth elemental shield solidified in front of him, and then panted, watching the weird dryad that was exploded by the players behind him with "spells". Kind of urge to spit.

At this moment, he heard the whistling sound in his ears. He raised his head and saw the special signal flare rising in the dense forest in the distance, staying in the air, forming a special shape.

"Shi Sishou is leaving too fast, right? So many of us are almost too late to catch up." Fu Zhongting couldn't help but exclaimed.

"What do you think? That's 8-Rank! I think, people may have slowed down deliberately, for fear that it will be too fast, we can't keep up." Sun Xiao stuck the earth element light shield on the ground, supporting his body, Said.

Seeing the team responsible for cleaning the battlefield get busy, Zhu Sha walked over from the crowd and said:"You can't say that... We are crowded, our goals are big, and we attract a lot of monsters. It must be slow, and it can't be compared with them... Hey, what do you think Cheng Lin is doing now?"

"He? I don't know, but holding the 8th-Rank thighs, that's not a beauty? Maybe it's something to do with... Hey, you said, Shi Si Chief called him specifically, did he fall in love with him..."

"...Don't look at me with that kind of eyes. I'm talking about appreciating Cheng Lin's talents. It's not too far from the sixth rank to break through to the fifth rank in such a short time? If it were me, I would definitely not let it go. Talent."

Sun Xiao said in Eight Trigrams, sputtering.

He took a sip of water and lifted the huge light shield that looked like a door panel on it.

The night breeze was blowing, and the forest rumbling ceaselessly.

The road marked by Shi Shengcun avoided the spiritual land of those powerful plants, and did not entangle with them, but twisted and twisted, choosing a safer route, which also made the entire team move very fast.

There was nothing for a night, when Sun Xiao put down the shield again, panted heavily, and rested on the shield with his arm, he was shocked to find that the sky had already lighted up.

But, although the sky is clear.

But the forest was filled with thick white mist, damp, so that their clothes were soaked, and on the surrounding grass leaves, crystal clear dew drops along the veins of the leaves.

Suddenly, Sun Xiao's heart moved, he pushed the leaves over, and then sucked the morning dew with his mouth.

Immediately, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "This dew Spiritual Qi is so good!"

Not only him, but at this meeting, other people have also discovered anomalies one after another. Those morning dews are as effective as Spiritual Qi potions.

As for the surrounding air, the concentration of Spiritual Qi has quietly increased.

"How is this going?"

"There wasn't such a strong mist on that section of the road just now?"

In the team of more than two thousand people, there was a lot of discussion immediately.

Everyone was surprised.

Suddenly, the team of perception cultivators who walked in the forefront responsible for opening the way shouted: "Ah! Come and see! This... there is a lake here!"

"Lake?" Sun Xiao, Fu Zhongting, Xie Qingke and others looked at each other, all feeling surprised, and hurried to the lake.

There are dense aquatic plants growing here, about one person tall, but since the perception system cultivator does not send out a signal, it means that these aquatic plants are not aggressive.

"Wow."

Waving two arms and shoveling the water weeds to the sides, Sun Xiao and the others suddenly saw a misty lake!

The lake is hidden in the depths of the forest, but I don't know how wide it is. It is covered with white mist, and the water waves are cold, like a great mountain of Lingshan.

Taking a deep breath, the oncoming water vapor was shocking, and the fatigue of the whole night of marching was immediately dissipated.

"What lake is this? It doesn't feel the same."

Amidst the sound of surprise, Sun Xiao suddenly saw a small "boat" drifting slowly from the white mist on the lake surface. To be precise, it was a huge leaf like a wooden boat.

A familiar figure was standing on the boat, with a calm complexion, slowly drifting over.

"Cheng Lin? Is it you? Where's Shi Si leader?" Song Jun, who was wearing alloy armor, asked with sharp eyes.

On the boat, Cheng Lin smiled, and seemed to point to the depths of the big lake calmly, and said, "He went deeper."
