Chapter 74 The Third Mission

Nanshan Residence.

Nan Baicheng was lying on the wicker chair, looking at the sky raptly. The man in black clothes stood behind him with his hands down, without saying a word.

After a long time, Nan Baicheng said: "Speak."

The man in black bowed and replied: "Tang Jie went to Lingtai Pavilion, and Mrs. Shui took back all the money owed, but the Wei family gave him some money. He bought purple electric boots, fire crow ring and four talismans with the money. , and also retrieved the dry wind bead."

"It seems that he is putting all his eggs in one basket. He has to win all three tasks before he is willing." Nan Baicheng said leisurely: "Good boy, you already know what I mean, and you still dare to do this. It is admirable. If he wishes to become my junior brother, my Nanbaicheng will welcome him backwards, but he insists on letting that Wei Tianchong... Damn it!"

"Actually..." The man in black hesitated for a moment, and stopped talking.

Nan Baicheng said, "What do you want to say?"

The man in black said: "For thousands of years, most of the selection of true biography in the faction has been conducted in the form of task assessment, without looking at the talent and achievements of the students. The reason for this is largely to test the comprehensive ability of the students. , The so-called applying what you have learned is just like that. The so-called comprehensive ability actually includes talent, family background, temperament, mind, and even luck."

"Well, continue." Nan Baicheng closed his eyes and said. The man in black is right, God can bestow you with peerless cultivation aptitude, and can also bestow him with endless cultivation resources. Why is the Ninth Revolution of Yumen a talent, and everyone born from birth must be a foreign object?

In the eyes of practitioners, the process is meaningless, and the result is the most important.

In the world of cultivators, there are only successes and failures.

Because of this, in the eyes of the Xiyue Sect, the Nine Revolutions of Yumen and everyone from the background are just a part of the innate abilities possessed by the students.

Whose value is greater and who has a higher role, it is useless to argue, let's play by ourselves.

In the competition for true biography, this kind of all-round ability is considered, and heroes are only judged by results, otherwise why is it so troublesome?

The man in black continued: "Although Wei Tianchong is relying on the help of his servant Tang Jiezhi, his servant education can also be regarded as one of his resources. Since I, the Xiyue Sect, can regard family background as a talent, why can't I?" ..."

"You mean, since Tang Jie is Wei Tianchong's servant, you might as well regard him as a part of Wei Tianchong's strength, a manifestation of his comprehensive ability, just like his puppet. A puppet is strong, naturally Even if the master is strong, there is no need to block him from the door?"

"My humble opinion."

Nan Baicheng snorted: "It is indeed a foolish opinion, self-righteous, wishful thinking!"

"Also ask the adults to give pointers!"

Nan Baicheng said leisurely: "Actually, what you said is not unreasonable. As Wei Tianchong's servant and loyal servant, Tang Jie can indeed be regarded as part of Wei Tianchong's strength. The world of cultivating immortals is cruel and realistic. As long as you have the ability, it doesn't matter whether the ability is reflected in your subordinates or in yourself. The problem is that not everything in the world can be done logically. You must know that I am not Doing things for the justice of the world is doing things for the master, and the master's liking is the most important thing!"

As soon as these words came out, the man in black immediately woke up.

Daoist Changfeng is not a simple person. As the head of the Moon-washing School and one of the nineteen heavenly chiefs of the Moon-washing Sect, he is the pinnacle of real people, and his status is comparable to that of casual cultivators. Had to step aside, his will definitely mattered.

Nan Baicheng is well versed in the way of serving, he knows that it is always more meaningful to figure out the meaning than to explore the truth.

Yan Changfeng was born in poverty since he was a child, and his talent was mediocre, but he was determined and resolute. He went through countless bloody battles along the way to pursue the Daoist Way, and even the number one "Blood Bath Changfeng" showed him.

A person's way of success is often the way he selects talents.

Brave, tenacious, and not giving up easily are the good seedlings in his eyes, real talents. Compared with this kind of temperament, talent resources and other conditions have to be sidelined.

At that time, Nanbaicheng fought against Shi Wunian's coercion, which matched Yan Changfeng's temperament.

Only then will he be formally accepted as a disciple.

And what about Wei Tianchong?

Greedy for life and afraid of death, timid and cowardly, looking forward and backward, it can be said that he is extremely weak in temperament. It would be strange for Yan Changfeng to like this disciple, so what the man in black said, "Tang Jie can also be regarded as a guard." The statement that Tianchong is a component of strength" cannot be established in Yan Chengfeng's case.

Realizing this at this moment, the man in black hurriedly said: "It's because the subordinates are ignorant. If this is the case, Wei Tianchong must not let Wei Tianchong succeed in this final task!"

"It's good that you know, then, what can you do to solve it?"

The man in black thought for a while, and said: "The reason why Wei Tianchong was able to succeed twice is entirely due to Tang Jie. The reason why Tang Jie can play a role is actually related to the tasks we gave before. The two tasks , whoever submits will win. This makes the person who finally completes the task not necessarily the one who contributes the most, which gives Tang Jie room to play. Originally, the purpose of this approach was to compare the overall strength of the students. Their family background, resources, brains and other conditions can also play a role, but because of Tang Jie's relationship, Wei Tianchong will benefit from it. In my opinion, if Wei Tianchong is to fail, Tang Jie must be completely separated from Weitian It is within the strength of Chong. In fact, there is no task of returning to the valley, and we have done the same, but we have not done enough."

"you mean……"

"The next task must not be transferable. Students must rely on themselves to complete it."

Nan Baicheng nodded: "That's right, this is the only way to go now, but such a task is hard to find."

He said with a deep sigh.

In addition to maximizing the test of the overall strength of the students, the task that uses specific things such as human heads and red lotuses as the victory condition also has the most important advantage of being simple.

Due to the large number of students participating, overly complex tasks will increase the difficulty of assessment, blur the judgment standards, and even hinder fairness.

Assuming that, as the man in black said, the third task must be completed by hand to be considered a victory, things will be complicated.

First of all, the winning criterion of the task cannot be a specific item, otherwise it will be difficult to define who is the winner during the competition process.

Just like the red lotus dispute, An Rumeng was the first to meet Honglian, then Tang Jie, and then Qi Shaoming. During this process, no one really owned it, so it was impossible to determine the winner. And if it is too childish to win by being the first to touch the target, the only condition is that the last owner wins.

The second is that killing cannot be used as a victory condition.

In the same way, if the mission of No Return to the Valley was conditional on killing the Frost Elf, then many students would not compete with each other in the first battle with the Frost Elf, but would attack together. When the time comes, the swords and swords will be on the line, spells will be released indiscriminately, and she will be killed after a group of bombardments. Who will kill her?

The basic criteria of the assessment are: the judgment conditions must be clear and clear, and the answer must be unique, so that it can be convincing.

The third is that the task must be existing.

The Moonwashing Sect will not design a special scene for everyone to try for a true biography. The cost is too high, and they will only choose from existing tasks to meet the needs of assessment and completion of tasks at the same time.

The fourth is that the task must be able to meet the needs of testing thousands of students at the same time, and must be the same goal. If it is a decentralized goal, there will inevitably be many unfair situations, which also belong to unfair assessment.

Finally, the task must be confrontational. The true mission is to be won, so there must be conditions for confrontation among the students. And if there is confrontation, there must be contact. It is precisely because of this that even Nan Baicheng cannot completely separate Tang Jie and Wei Tianchong. They can only disperse them, but they cannot prevent them from gathering.

All kinds of restrictions make it not so easy to get the true mission. It's as if students worry about coping with every big exam, but they often ignore that the examiners who set the test questions are also scratching their heads and racking their brains before the big exam.

Hearing what Nan Baicheng said at this moment, the man in black laughed: "If it's in Wenxin territory, it's really not easy to find it."

"En?" Nan Baicheng was stunned for a moment: "You mean..."

"Wind Demon Island."

"Fengmo Island?" Nan Baicheng's eyes lit up immediately, but dimmed randomly: "Fengmo Island is considered a qualified place, but it is the territory of Tianyahai Pavilion."

"Then rent it. Feng Qingyu is a good material for cultivating wind spells. It happens that there is a shortage of Feng Qingyu in the school recently. I planned to buy a batch from Tianya Haige. Feng Qingyu is hard to come by. Let the students collect it. In terms of price, Tianyahai Pavilion can save some manpower, and it is only a wish. It may be cheaper if the negotiation is good. In this way, the students will be assessed and the task will be completed, and some resources will be saved for the school. The good Tianyahaige is exactly the best of all three."

"But the winning criteria can no longer be conditional on Feng Qingyu!"

"That's natural. Just take the Jiugong Heart Ring as the winning condition. Whoever can reach the Nine Palaces first, enter the Tianxin Ring, and touch the Haixin Stone will be the winner. As for Feng Qingyu, another standard is established, and it is counted according to jade." The price is enough. The one who turns in the most Feng Qingyu can get some extra rewards. With Wei Tianchong's ability, it is absolutely impossible for him to be the first to enter the Nine Palace Heart Ring. Find a few pieces of sapphire jade and reap the benefits, this is giving him a chance, and it is also giving us a chance."

"To stop it with difficulty, to lure it with profit... This idea is still possible." Nan Baicheng thought about it carefully, and nodded in agreement with the man in black: "But Tang Jie, I think he is determined, isn't he? A person who can be easily swayed by small profits. If he is not tempted, he will still be a trouble."

"Then ask the people from Tianya Haige to help me a little bit in the Nine Palaces Maze formation."

"Good idea!" Nan Baicheng nodded again and again: "If I remember correctly, Fengmo Island is now hosted by Ji Wujiu from Tianyahaige. I don't have any friendship with this person, but I remember him and Lin Shangyun from the faction. I have had the experience of fighting the enemy together a few times, and Lin Shangyun and the third senior brother have a good relationship. It seems that I need to ask the third senior brother to help me with the matter... Sigh, this damn Tang Jie, because of him, how many people do I ask for help? !"

Speaking of this, Nan Baicheng was also furious.

He has both appreciation and resentment towards Tang Jie, and his mood can be described as extremely complicated.

Thinking about it was not enough, Nan Baicheng said again: "There are too many relationships entrusted, and they are always a little unreliable. This is the last mission, no matter what, no mistakes should be made. How about it, beggars, this trip to Fengmo Island , you go too."

"I'm going too?" The man in black was taken aback: "My lord, I'm not a student. And if I make a move, if it is discovered, it will really confirm your reputation of affecting the fairness of the competition!"

Nan Baicheng said in a deep voice: "I will help you with the matter of identity. In the name of supervision, I will ask Ji Wujiu to send you in. As for reputation..."

City Chief Nanbai took a breath: "As long as you don't disappoint Master, what's a small reputation? Even if there are any consequences, I will bear it. Besides... you can't fucking let them find out ?"

Speaking of this, Nan Baicheng almost roared.

The man in black froze in his heart, knowing that Nan Baicheng was going all out, so he quickly bowed and replied: "Yes, this subordinate will do his best and die!"

"I don't want you to die, I just want you to prevent Wei Tianchong from entering the Nine Palace Heart Ring first!"
