If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

"Because I have no brain?" Lin Nian asked.

"You have learned the secret of chatting. Start by scolding yourself. You are invincible, kid." Mandy applauded, "But I don't allow you to scold yourself. I can't bear to scold myself, and you are not allowed to scold either."

"In other words, are you starting to talk about earthy love so early in the morning?" Lu Mingfei's wilting voice sounded from the side, and the partition of the cabin on the other side of the aisle was lowered, revealing his decayed cheeks. When I woke up, I yawned with my mouth wide open, a few tears hanging from the corners of my eyes, and my clothes were wrinkled. There was nowhere to be found in the Nibelungs, where the evil spirits of gods blocking the killing of gods and Buddhas blocking the killing of Buddhas were there.

"Are you awake?" Lin Nian said, "We are already landing. You can hurry up and ask the flight attendant to give you an extra breakfast so that you don't have to look for food after landing."

"Uh, is there such a good thing?" Lu Mingfei looked at the empty plates on the table between Lin Nian and Mandy. He was really hungry. He raised his hand and pressed the call bell. "Call me when the stewardess is here." One is the same as yours, I’m going to use the toilet first.”

Lin Nian waved his hand and told him to go, then looked at Mandy, "Where did we talk?"

"Speaking of which, even she couldn't bear to scold you." Lu Mingfei patted Lin Nian on the shoulder when he passed by him, and looked at Mandy and yelled full of resentment. He was probably still thinking about the man who was tricked into being locked in the water tank. That incident, and the little trick of planting the five consciousness laws and prohibitions in his mind later. The latter shrugged his hands and shrugged, which probably meant: Blame me?

The conflict between Lu Mingfei and Mandy is not big, but as Mandy is one of the representatives of traders in the Nibelungs, Lu Mingfei still has some psychological shadow on her. After all, everyone is a little upset after being messed with like that. fear.

"Come back." Mandy put down the champagne and lightly ran her tongue across her wet upper lip. "If you want to change the status quo, if you want to get rid of those conspiracies and plots, and truly become a trader and a chess player, the first thing is that, junior brother You absolutely can’t do it, which is why I unilaterally believe that you can never become a chess player.”

"You said it." Lin Nian nodded.

"Your heart is not dark enough." Mandy commented. She looked at Lin Nian who was silent and said, "Your biggest problem is that your heart is not dark enough. Although you have never lacked awareness when it comes to your sister's affairs, that only applies to you. It’s my sister’s business. If you want to be a trader, you have to be heartless. You are the kind of heartless person who can step on a stray kitten to death and kick it into the drain when you open the door. Ruthless person."

"You don't like cats?" Lin Nian suddenly asked.

"I'm afraid it would be too cruel to say it to a living person, and it sounds too disgusting." Mandy said, "The guys who can be traders and chess players are all 'bad guys' in the literal sense. This chess game , this battlefield between hybrids and dragons will affect countless ordinary people once a war begins. This is bound to happen. As a trader, can you treat those human lives as trivial and even use those human lives to achieve your goals? "

Lin Nian frowned slightly and said, "Does the layout necessarily mean sacrificing others?"

"Let's be clear, this is making a game, not a war. Fighting requires talent and military strategy, and tactical vision. But what we are talking about now is making a game. You know the word 'making a game' in Chinese What's the meaning of "? You should turn on your mobile phone and connect to the plane's WiFi to search."

Lin Nian took out his cell phone and did as he was told. After searching for the answer, he fell silent.

"Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't win the game if you don't do bad things. Of course, there are also games that don't touch the moral bottom line. But on the same chessboard, your moral baggage, your kindness, and your benevolence can all be eliminated. The shortcomings of attack. In this level of fighting, if your weakness is caught, you will be worse than dead." Mandy sighed.

"Let me ask you, Lin Nian, if there is a button in front of you, if you press it, the emperor will die suddenly, but the price is that all newborns under 1 year old in the world will be sacrificed by the contract. Will you press this button?"

"Only a madman would tap this button." Lin Nian said.

"Congratulations, you have glimpsed a corner of the world of madmen, but not enough. If I put this problem intact in front of those who set up the trap, what do you think they will think?"

Mandy raised her champagne glass and shook it gently in the sun. "If a button can achieve their ambition at such a price, then their first thought is not whether to shoot or not, but how to hide what they have done after shooting." The truth about this matter, and how to maximize the effect of this button - as for the cost? The decision of whether to shoot or not has never been within their consideration. You have already lost at the starting point of thinking, so what else can you get? Fight with them?"

"Is there really nothing we can do?"

"Yes, of course." Mandy's champagne glass touched the rim of Lin Nian's glass lightly, "Didn't you notice? How did we defeat the emperor at the end of the Nibelungen situation?"

Looking up into Lin Nian's eyes, Mandy said, "It's choices, choices that are beyond imagination. Any planner will have situations where the situation gets out of control. That is the last thing they want to see and the most difficult fact to accept."

"The emperor didn't think that you and Yelena could complete that kind of ultra-restrictive fusion, but you completed the fusion and delayed my action."

"The emperor does not think that you will lose in the fight between you and Lu Mingfei, but you clearly could have killed Lu Mingfei at the last moment, but you gave up. As a result, the authority of the chain was obtained, but it was not broken. You and Ye For the first time Lena got the initiative to take the next step.”

"Lu Mingze didn't think that Lu Mingfei would miss the opportunity to get rid of you, Yelena, and even the emperor in one go under his manipulation, but at the critical moment, Lu Mingfei, who should have been furious and completely crazy, woke up miraculously, regained his reason, and forcibly snatched the knife from his hand and stabbed your heart."

Mandy said quietly, "The person who planned the game is not a god. The so-called game is to weave a story based on the information collected and mastered by oneself. The key to destroying this story lies in the fallacy and deviation of the collected information."

"Who would have thought that Lu Mingfei, who had always been a coward, would show his power at the hearing and turn everything upside down? Before that hearing, people at Kassel College even questioned whether he had been a coward in the battle between the Bronze and Fire Kings until he showed his true courage."

"Who would have thought that Li Huoyue did not split Sima Xuxu in half with one knife, but took the initiative to give up She gave up her heart and quit the fight? She was a thorough avenger. Before she gave up, no one thought she would do this, but she did it. Lin Nian, the layout can be linked one by one, interlocking, and meticulous, but you can never figure out people's hearts! "

Mandy put the champagne glass in the center of the sun on the table, looking at the crystal clear glass, shining like a flower, "You always feel that the emperor puts a lot of pressure on you, and you feel depressed when you mention his name. Why is that? Isn't it because you subconsciously feel that once he starts to lay out, you will always follow his plan involuntarily-then why? Why do you follow his plan? "

"He knows what judgment I will make before everything, He knows which side I am more likely to lean towards when I face a choice, and He knows what things will definitely trip me up. "Lin Nian said, "He knows every choice I make. "

"ture dude." Mandy pointed at Lin Nian and turned her finger gently. "So what do you need to learn first to get out of this predicament?"

"Break away from traditional thinking, break away from the shell-oriented thinking of 'Lin Nian', make different choices, and let everyone guess my thoughts. "Lin Nian said.

Mandy smiled softly, "Why do you think I keep repeating the exchange of sons with you? You have to give up something to get something. Even you don't think you will give up those important things. Once you use this to make a game and make a choice, then this game will be the most lethal, and it is also a real beast trap that no one expected!"

For example, on the battlefield where the emperor set up a dangerous game with Su Xiaoqiang, Lin Nian gave up Su Xiaoqiang without hesitation, turned around and hit the real key of the conspiracy, and severely damaged the emperor by sacrificing Su Xiaoqiang in one fell swoop. Ha, how could she have such a dream?

Mandy shook her head and felt that she was talking nonsense to Lin Nian again.

Lin Nian suddenly asked, "Even if I abandon you? Senior sister? Have you ever thought about it? Would you be willing to accept this fact?"

Mandy suddenly looked up and looked at Lin Nian. She had always understood this boy, but this time she could not see any familiar colors and emotions in the boy's eyes, so strange.

She felt a little cold in her heart, a fleeting chill, like a cold wind that swept into her neck from somewhere in the summer.

She has been guiding Lin Nian leisurely. Although this guidance has some correct principles in it, it also has some of her own selfishness. But now Lin Nian seems to have really started to think and started to weigh on that scale. She suddenly realized that if Lin Nian really listened to her advice and started to run wild on those "choices" and made some terrible choices, then the so-called bottom line would drop again and again. When the mental chains that bound and shaped the shell of "Lin Nian" were broken, what kind of monster would appear in the world?

After all, no one has ever taught Lin Nian these principles, because no one wants Lin Nian to understand this principle. Those chains have always been trapped on Lin Nian's neck. Now, Mandy, who is sitting in front of this monster, is drinking and chatting. If she really tears those chains apart with laughter, how many people in the room will the bloodthirsty monster have to eat before it stops?

As the price of growth, this is too extreme, but if one day this kind of growth is really promoted

"Then I admit it." Mandy laughed dryly, "Teaching the apprentice will starve the master to death. The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. Doesn't that prove that I taught you well! What can I complain about? But you said you would sacrifice me, you must be joking. Right?"

Lin Nian looked at her silently and shook his head gently, "Yes, I'm joking."

"Then look quickly, we're here."

Mandy laughed stiffly to change the subject (she was scared for the first time), looking at the island approaching on the blue sea outside the porthole. Countless buildings are crowded like a forest on the small archipelago, densely packed, and the waves in the distance are hitting the reefs and the road on the shore, and white foam is constantly churning in the sun.

That is Male, the capital of Maldives. In the distance are the dark lagoons and atolls that are even deeper blue than the azure. Seabirds fly over the China-Maldives Friendship Bridge, and white waves keep crashing under the bridge.

After a long flight, the plane finally landed in the Maldives, but Lin Nian didn't care about the beautiful scenery outside the window. He just sat in his seat, holding the champagne glass in the shadow, thinking about what Mandy said without saying a word.
