Life is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten.
With the holding of this festival, the elimination rate is also extremely cruel.
After all, this is just a preliminary screening. There is no need to risk your life. Even if you fail repeatedly, it is enough to get a ticket before everything is over.
"...Why are you following me? The intelligence transaction is over, right?"
"It seems that you like this kid Xiaomu too, right?"
Hearing this, Lu Ping'an's expression changed drastically.
"No, I'm not. It's really not that I won't be punished. I don't want to go to jail yet!"
"...I'm serious, stop joking."
As he said this, Old Man Qian showed a dumbfounded expression.
Although he was indeed "cheated" at first, later on this guy couldn't even act, so he naturally saw through what he should have seen.
But Old Man Qian realized that although he didn't know who this pretender was, he was definitely more trustworthy than the original Su Xi.
Some things are difficult to hide, such as this man's daily "lawful stance", such as the look in his eyes at those two girls...
"...It's actually not difficult to break through in the preliminaries, but then I can only go to the audience. Now I have lost my fighting spirit..."
In other professions, old age and physical weakness will bring about weakening. For a fighter who relies solely on the body for a living, most of them will be directly eliminated.
What is even more fatal is the "unable to continue training" and "stopping actual combat polishing" caused by physical weakness... In the words of old money, it means losing the "fighting spirit" and no longer qualified to embark on the journey of martial arts. God’s stage.
It's okay for him to barely make it to the second round, but that would be a double humiliation to his opponent and himself...
"I hope that you can take care of my girl during this festival."
"Ha, are you kidding? We are competitors."
Lu Pingan naturally chose to refuse such a troublesome thing.
Want me to be a nanny? Dreaming, unless...well, not even if you add money!
"I have information about the second round here. There is no competition between you. On the contrary, as long as you enter the second round, you will need her help."
"...Can you do this?"
"Of course, I also have old acquaintances in the Church of the God of Martial Arts, and where there are people, there will naturally be rivers and lakes."
"You say it first, and I'll think about it after listening..."
Lu Ping'an didn't promise, and he said this request directly, which was tantamount to free information.
"The second round is a team battle. You need a teammate..." As soon as these words came out, Lu Pingan knew what was going on.
"Ha, why don't I find someone strong."
But at this time, Lu Pingping was even happier.
The little girl's strength is not bad, but her attack is obviously not ruthless enough. The next battlefield may not be suitable for her.
"...As long as you finish this festival safely with little Mu An, I will give this to you."
What the old man took out was a very worn thread-bound book.
The book is old, has no cover, and is full of scrawled notes. It is obviously a handwritten book.
And his eyes full of heartache seemed a little reluctant to give up.
"Lu Ping'an, promise him! That's the 'Book of the End of the Warrior'! It's the 'Book of the Awakened One'!"
"What?"
"...The monk version of the Forbidden Library is a once-in-a-lifetime collection of experiences for monks. Only monks with a very high level can write. After writing, the strength will obviously decline. Basically, it is written by old guys. The legacy of his disciples.”
In this way, Lu Pingping understood.
This is similar to the one-time ability of one's own "library", except that there is no copying of "rules" and "scholar abilities". This is not like "copying" like oneself, but tends to "stripping".
Lu Ping'an's one only has "knowledge" and requires the library to supplement the corresponding "content". It is more like a "shrunk version of the attachment", and this one is a compressed version of the original, which is the essence of a monk's life.
So, the takeaway from reading this book…
"Okay, so sincere. I agree!"
Well, as expected, all you need to do is add money.
But Lu Ping An was a little puzzled. Under Big Mao's explanation, Lu Ping An knew that this reward was too valuable... Even a rookie holding this book could achieve the goal as long as it was completely digested. The writer's ability is 30% to 40%.
And more importantly, if you are a monk stuck in a bottleneck, you can borrow the path of others to complete your own breakthrough, and its actual value is quite high.
Although Lao Qian himself estimated that it was only at the upper limit of level 4, if this book were to be used for price, it would be enough to hire a veteran powerhouse of level 6.
"But, why me? Also, why don't you just let Xiaomu use it..."
The old man looked at this book with a look of reluctance on his face.
In a sense, this is his coffin.
"Although Xiaomu is my adopted daughter, she is actually also my disciple. She has learned everything about me. If I give it to her, it will actually limit the upper limit of her development..."
In the old man's view, repeated "martial arts" will limit the growth thinking of talented warriors.
The little girl can basically understand the things in this book. Repeated learning will only limit her imagination. She is far more likely than the old guy like herself who has been stuck at level 4 for her whole life...
"...I have taught her everything I can teach. She doesn't need this book, and it will even become her poison..."
This reason is good, but Lu Pingan still has doubts about why he would choose himself.
"Eye, eyes cannot deceive people, especially young people. When you look at two girls, that kind of love and tenderness from the heart...you have a psychological age that exceeds your appearance age, You should have witnessed countless darkness in the world, but you still like this..."
"Haha, ah, yes, yes, everything you said is right."
Lu Ping'an couldn't stand it anymore. It was all Big Cat's fault! I was misunderstood!
"Is it really a misunderstanding..." Big Cat said sadly.
But the old man opposite didn't know that Lu Ping'an had so many psychological dramas. He just handed the book over with some regrets and helplessness.
He is confident in his own vision, or in other words, his experience makes him confident in the person in front of him.
He took another look at his little granddaughter and was about to leave directly.
He has confidence in her. As long as she can successfully survive this festival and complete the qualitative changes and gains, then she can be on her own... This is probably the last thing he can help her with.
The old man subconsciously touched his chest. Inside his clothes, a "face sore" was breathing slowly.
If a professional does not advance in his career, he will perish. If he cannot make progress for a long time, he is destined to end.
There is no way to save this kind of decay from the inside out. He has reached an end that a professional cannot avoid.
In fact, the old man was also very hesitant, but in fact, he had no choice.
Being able to find someone who seemed trustworthy at the last moment was considered lucky.
Lu Pingan, who was tempted by "reward", didn't know that when the value of reward was much higher than "service", there might be hidden troubles waiting for him.
"....If not, think about it again."
But in the end, when he saw this man happily using his "tentacles" to slap people, while his granddaughter was still waving her little fist to cheer him up, Old Man Qian couldn't hold himself tight again.
"...Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
But in the end, he shook his head and disappeared into the shadows.
"...Mumu, forgive grandpa for leaving without saying goodbye. Grandpa won't say goodbye because..."
The old man sighed and said "goodbye" or something like that. It was too sad and difficult to say.
So, he found a reason for himself.
"...Since he disappeared, rather than died somewhere clearly, that man should be better to Mu Mu. At least he should be prepared for his possible revenge."
The old man's commission is not limited to this festival...he expects to get overflowing rewards, and based on his observation, the other side will not let his little girl fend for herself, as long as she pays a little attention or even With care, Xiaomu can grow up more safely.
But after watching the scene of him using the "magic vine" to throw the little girl high into the sky after winning, making the girl giggle, the old man felt like he was having a myocardial infarction.
I must have misjudged the person, right? Is this young guy from the special service really reliable?
Lu Ping'an had changed his appearance and equipment, but the toothbrush, towel, etc. he used were actually Xia Qin's and were issued by the special service team... He didn't hide some things carefully, so it was natural for him to be discovered by the veteran. .
And this "identity", coupled with Lu Ping'an's strength is obviously a level higher than that of the special service team. Coupled with his own observation, the old man also has a certain degree of trust in him.
However, now I am looking at my granddaughter dancing with the "tentacle".
"......Lets see."
So, the old man who found a reason for himself hid in the corner and continued to spy on his little granddaughter.
The more I look, the more reluctant I am to leave; the more I look, the more I want to stay...
