Chapter 137 The Fox Divides the Pie
"Actually, the solution is very simple, just share it with everyone." I calmly said the solution.
Almost everyone present shouted. "How to divide this?"
"There are many ways to divide it. It is not necessary to literally divide the Ring of Commandments into a bunch of parts. Everyone wants to get it just to get its function. The parts are just the medium to realize the function, so dividing it into parts is meaningless. of."
"Then how are we going to divide it?" A god stood up and asked, "Let's talk about it first. If your division is unfair, I won't listen to you."
"I just suggested that everyone should think about how to divide it, and I didn't say that you have to do it according to my method. Don't be too excited!"
Yuanshi Tianzun said: "Ziri, just tell us, we can discuss it ourselves." After saying that, Yuanshi Tianzun turned to the surrounding gods and said: "The people who can come here are all famous people, don't be too embarrassed. Make people laugh.”
Philindil said: "We also know that it is embarrassing to do this, but the ability of this thing is so powerful that we have to give up some dignity for it. Do you think we like to come running like wolves that smell blood? Do we want to compete with you for food? We have no choice! If you want to pretend to be noble, just don't come. Only by not coming can you prove that you are really noble."
No one was willing to speak anymore after Philindil said a word. Everyone here is very aware of the current situation. The Ring of Discipline is just a piece of fat, and these guys are the wolves. The current situation is just a fight among the wolves for food, so no one is qualified to say anything. As the overlord of all parties, it is certain to be embarrassed, but none of these gods and Buddhas are willing to give away the Ring of Discipline to others for free, so they still come despite knowing the shame.
Seeing that the big guys around me had calmed down, I said, "Since the situation is so clear, I won't mince words. Division is inevitable. If you really want to monopolize it, please defeat all the forces here. Then. Are you willing to take this strongest position now?"
All the gods around him became silent. Defeating everyone is a completely impossible task. No one dares to say that they have this strength, so naturally they dare not say anything now.
I nodded when they didn't say anything. "In this case, let me tell you how to separate it." I paused for a moment and waited for everyone around me to focus before continuing: "Don't you think it's silly to start fighting for the Ring of Discipline now? ?"
My words made the people around me frown, and they were all waiting attentively to hear the solution. Unexpectedly, I was scolded. Looking at their unconvinced looks, they all seemed to have the urge to strangle me to death. I smiled, ignored their looks, and continued to explain: "Okay. You obviously don't admit that you are stupid, so let me analyze it for you. What is your purpose of grabbing the Ring of Discipline?" without waiting for their answer. I said to myself: "It is a benefit that is beneficial to your own development. Although your direct goal is to obtain the ability to 'manipulate' the Ring of Discipline, the ultimate goal is to obtain powerful abilities and ultimately benefit yourself. Some of you object to this. ?"
There was no reaction at all. Apparently everyone agreed with me. I continued: "Okay, since your goal is welfare. Then why are you robbing it? First of all, is it useful for you to take this Ring of Discipline back?"
When I asked this question, some people immediately objected. "Are you out of your mind? Of course it will be useful to take it back. Didn't you just say that we were trying to 'manipulate' his abilities?"
Without saying a word, I walked directly to La Di to get the Ring of Discipline. La Di immediately made a move to hit me. However, the other nine forces who were born to guarantee me immediately took a step forward and did not dare to continue with their intimidation actions. He stared at me and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Since you agreed to participate in the assignment, it should be normal to give it to me first, right? Anyway, you can kill me at any time if I really want to have my own ideas."
Ra hesitated for a moment, but finally handed me the shrunken ring of commandments. After I took the Ring of Discipline, I immediately walked towards the guy who said I had water in my head. And handed the ring of commandments to his hand. He looked at me in astonishment, wondering why I gave him the thing. Everyone else also looked surprised.
I said disdainfully: "Didn't you say that my head is filled with water? Then you can show it to me?"
The guy immediately picked up the Ring of Discipline and wanted to prove it to me, but he soon understood. The Ring of Discipline must be activated in conjunction with the Stone of Discipline. Without that thing, it would be useless, and it would be useless to give it to him. When he remembered that he was not the only one who had this joint, everyone around him also remembered that this thing was still a piece of trash.
I reached out and snatched back the Ring of Discipline. "Who is out of their minds?"
That guy's face was so pale that he didn't dare to do anything to me. But everyone around him understood that this guy had water in his head.
I returned to the center of the field and said: "The thing is actually very simple. You should not have grabbed this thing from the beginning. What is the use of grabbing it? It is simply useless. And I only mentioned the first point just now, now let's talk about the second point. Two points. We assume that this thing is useful, but what price do you have to pay to grab it? Although you are the only elites from all forces here now, if any of you forces gets this thing, other forces will do it. Are you watching your development? If so, I will definitely go back and devote all my strength to come and fight you to the death. If I succeed, I will get the thing. If I fail, it will be over. Then let me analyze the situation. The force that gets this thing will definitely be jointly attacked by other forces. In the end It is inevitable to be destroyed. In other words, don’t expect to gain benefits if you grab the big one. On the contrary, it will bring disaster. After those attacking forces destroy this force, they will return to this cycle and let one of them get the Ring of Discipline again. , and then everyone fights him together. This cycle will continue forever, until all the forces in the world fight until only one is left. What’s worse is that this force is almost gone. This situation is different from yours Is there any part of the original interest?"
All the gods around shook their heads.
"Since you admit that they are not related, what are you still trying to rob?"
Everyone around him was stunned for a moment. They were thinking, "That's right! Since it has nothing to do with the purpose, why are you trying to rob it?"
It took almost ten minutes before someone finally reacted. "No, you're trying to get around us. How can you talk like this? You're leading us all into a ditch!"
Of course I was fooling them. But I won't admit it. I asked righteously: "Then what do you think your purpose is? You should understand your own purpose and tell me the purpose of getting this thing?"
"I...I was confused by what you said. I didn't know what it meant. Anyway, that's not what we thought. We must have come to fight for a reason."
"Then why are you fighting like this?"
"I...I can't remember."
This guy was completely dumbfounded by me. The people around him were not much better. A large group of people were wondering why they came here to snatch this ring of commandment from others. It's obviously useless for people to take it, and it will make them more likely to die if they get it.
Convincing these guys is just my first step, and now I will implement the second step. I clapped my hands to attract everyone's attention again. "You yourself feel very confused, don't you? Why do you want to grab the Ring of Discipline? Let me help you answer. Your purpose is not actually to get the Ring of Discipline."
"Ah?" Everyone around them opened their mouths in surprise. "Then why are we robbing it?"
"Your purpose is not to obtain, but to prevent." I replied seriously: "You should all be very confident in your own strength. Are you sure about this?"
"Confirm!" Everyone nodded.
"Very good. You believe in your own strength, so getting this thing actually doesn't mean much to you. Maintaining the current rule is already easy for you, so there is no need to get stronger power, even to deal with it. The forces within our own territory need stronger forces and they are not worth paying such a high price to grab this ring of commandments, don’t you think so?"
Everyone nodded again.
"So your purpose is to stop. Not to stop a specific force, but just to stop any other force. You actually don't care about the power of the Ring of Commandments, even if this thing is smashed and completely unusable. To you In fact, it has no impact. What you cannot tolerate is for other forces to obtain this thing, thus threatening your existence, so you do not hesitate to destroy the imagination you have maintained for a long time and grab this thing regardless of the cost. , you are just afraid that others will get it. You don’t really want to get it yourself. So many of you have been fighting for more than one day, right? It should have ended long ago if you tried your best. When I came here, I should have seen a There are corpses on the battlefield, and the winner has dragged his crippled body away. But you have fought for so many days without any losses. This only shows that you have not tried your best. Your subconscious has understood that it is not worth it. It’s just that your subjective consciousness has not understood it.”
"Oh, so that's why we came here!" Everyone was happy now, and they finally understood why they were here. It’s a bad feeling to fight so hard and not even know what you’re doing in the end. Now everyone seems quite happy after knowing the result.
I struck while the iron was hot: "If you don't believe me, just test it." I raised the Ring of Discipline: "Imagine if I destroyed it now. How would you feel?"
Seeing that they were all thinking, I waited for them for a while before continuing: "You must have thought about it, right? I think your feeling is that you have no feelings. You don't feel distressed, nor do you feel pity, and you even There’s a feeling of relief, right?”
Everyone around them nodded, and everyone said that this was indeed the feeling.
I smiled and said: "Then this proves that you really don't want to get this thing, otherwise you should feel regretful and uncomfortable, and relief should not appear in your thoughts."
Now the people around me are more sure that what I said is correct, and they are thinking directionally according to my guidance. This is the top business technique my dad taught me. Keep asking simple questions to guide the other person's thinking. And unknowingly impose your own views on the other person's thinking, no matter how firm his belief is. I will definitely lead you astray in the end. Dad calls this reasonable misleading, but I think it should be regarded as a kind of subconscious hypnosis. No matter what, as long as the other party starts to answer questions according to your ideas, they will probably be led into a pit.
"In this case, what do you think we should do?" asked a god.
I said: "Just as I said at the beginning, we will allocate the right to use it. Since your purpose is not to let others get this thing, that means you don't care about getting it at all. In this case, then we might as well give this thing Set it up in a neutral place and let everyone use it together."
"But what if one of us secretly robs it after it is established in this place?"
"Is that so? It seems we need a caregiver!" I pretended to be thinking, but my eyes peeked at Shuixu.
Shuixu is one of the smarter people I know. After seeing the gesture in my eyes, he immediately saw my finger making small movements, and this finger was pointing at myself. Shuixu was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly laughed as if he suddenly realized something. After adjusting his mood for a while, Shuixu suddenly stood up and pointed at me and said, "In this case, let's put things at your place, right? You will be the ones to guard them, and no one is allowed to touch them."
I immediately pretended to be very reluctant and said: "How can that be done!"
Everyone else stared at Shui Xu, but Shui Xu said seriously: "It's definitely not possible to leave it alone. If no one is watching, there is no guarantee that one of us will go back to steal it, so there must be a protector. But whatever It’s not possible to find a protector. It’s obviously inappropriate for any one of us to be a protector. We don’t know the roots of other forces. And if we are bribed, we might give things to a certain party. This is not ours. Would like to see it.”
"But if I take it, aren't you afraid that I will give it to someone?"
"That's different." Shui Xu said: "You are protected by forces from all directions, which means you have a relatively large relationship. If there are too many people holding you back, you will not fall to a certain family. It is safer than others. . And more importantly, your strength is very strong. If one of us really wants to come back to snatch it, you can still persist until we come to reinforce you after issuing the notice, but others do not have this ability. Even if he is loyal to his duty, but we If he comes back to rob him, he won't be able to stop him at all. You can last for three to five days without any problem. If you have any problems, you can contact us immediately. We will be here to help you in just one day. In this case, no one can take away this commandment. If Huan is taken away from you, it’s safer for everyone, right?”
"Aren't you afraid that I will use it?" I asked.
Shuixu was stunned by my question. Although he is very smart, he does not know the way I ask questions, and he is not as active in thinking as I am. I originally planned to make the trick more beautiful. I didn't expect to get stuck here.
Fortunately, Al Ni suddenly said: "There is no Stone of Commandment anyway, so it's useless for you to take it."
"But what if I find the Stone of Commandment?" I didn't expect that there would be a smart person who could help. Al Ni usually behaves quite hatefully, but he is not stupid.
She immediately replied: "You are not a god. Even if you find the Stone of Commandment, can you still compete with us for territory? Although the territories of our gods are mutually exclusive, your territory also needs faith, and our power The circles can completely overlap. Compared with others, this characteristic of yours is what makes us most at ease. You don’t need to find the Stone of Discipline. As long as any one of us finds it, we will take the initiative to send it to you. You can use it. We simply not give a damn about."
I thought about it and said, "That's okay. If you all agree, you can put it there. If anyone finds the commandment stone, send it to me and install it on the commandment ring. Because every commandment stone It only corresponds to one rule, so we can keep a record of whoever finds the Earth Commandment Stone. The earth forces that find it can use this commandment unlimited times, but they are not allowed to use the commandment to attack other divine forces, so that others will not be afraid of getting the commandment stone. People. Besides, you didn’t plan to get these abilities in the first place, and now getting some abilities for nothing is equivalent to extra money. Also, it is unlikely that one of you will find all the Stones of Discipline, so different forces may find a few pieces. , so that everyone can exchange with each other. For example, if one party finds the commandment of time and the other party finds the commandment of space, the two of you can trade the right to use your own commandment stone. As for how you specifically trade, it is up to you to discuss it, just like doing business. It’s the same thing, very simple, right?”
Those who supported me immediately nodded in agreement, and then the rest of the parties hesitated, but finally agreed.
After seeing them all nod, I started again: "Although you agreed, I still want to say that I am helping you keep something, and this thing is as dangerous as a time bomb. I am likely to be remembered, so I You have to give me some benefits while taking responsibility."
Seeing that their expressions were not good, I quickly said: "My request is not too much, and it will be good for both of you."
"Is it good for us?" A man in a linen robe came out. This guy looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him. "Just tell us and we'll agree if it's feasible."
I nodded: "Actually, I don't have many requests, just three in total. First, I need you to contribute money and effort to build a fortress-like city in a special place."
"Why did you ask us to help you build the city?"
"Because this city will be used to place the Ring of Commandment and become its protection agency. I will keep this thing for you. Even if I don't want the storage fee, you can't let me pay for it, right?"
"Don't you have a city of your own? Why do you want to build a new one?"
Philindil impatiently said to the guy in a linen robe: "Isn't it just a city? It's not worth much money. Those things in the world have no practical significance to us. Just help him build it, you ask? What are you doing? Ziri, please tell me the following."
"Wait a minute." This guy interrupted us very angrily. "It's your business if you want to help repair it. I didn't say I wanted to help repair it."
"Jehovah, you are also a god after all. Do you need to be so stingy?"
faint! This guy’s name is Jehovah, and all the people here are gods. Taking the two points together...could this guy be the one who was crucified on the cross?
Seeing that the two sides were about to quarrel, I quickly said: "You two, don't rush into the quarrel. Since it's fine if Jehovah doesn't want to pay, then you just don't participate. You won't have a share in the construction of the new city, so don't use the ring of commandments either. ”
"Why? It was agreed that everyone should share it, why don't I get a share?"
"Because you refuse to pay!"
"Why do you need us to pay to build a city? We only agree to pay if you can explain it clearly. You obviously have a city of your own, so you don't have to rebuild a city, right?"
"Okay." I nodded. "According to your theory, you can't appropriate other people's things, right?"
"Of course." Jehovah said confidently.
"Okay. Since you said so. I own the city, why should I help you put things away?"
Jehovah said without hesitation: "We can pay to rent a piece of land in your city, and we won't need to rebuild the city, right?"
"Rent land? Is land so easy to rent? My city has its own work, I have my secrets, and guarding the Ring of Commandments is just to help you for everyone's sake. Do you still want to use this as an excuse? Isn’t it okay to interfere in the internal affairs of our guild?”
"Why does renting a piece of land interfere with internal affairs? Besides, I'm too lazy to eavesdrop on your information."
"Let's put it this way! If you are an ordinary human being and I am a person who has nothing to do with you, the village hopes that you can help me settle my residence. Do you think you should let the village help you build a house for me to live in? Or let me How about sleeping directly in your room?"
The Lord will not be fooled. He said directly: "I don't mind if you sleep in my room if you pay me."
"Yes, I can sleep in your room and lie on your bed. When your friends come and chat with you, I will be there to listen. When you are with your wife at night, I will be there to watch. Then when you have any objections Let me say one more thing: Your wife is so ugly, I don’t even bother to watch you two doing things! Can you bear it? "
Jehovah really wants to say that he has endured it, because then he doesn’t have to help me build a city. But he knew that such quibbles were useless, and those guys around him were not fools.
Seeing that he was stuck, I quickly added fire. "My city has my business, business, and war. These are all my business. If you put this thing in my place, I will have someone to look at it. What should I do during the war? Do business What should I do when the guest comes? Also, as you can see, I know a lot of gods, and I often have to receive them in my city. If these guests come to my city, do you think you can rest assured? "
Philindil saw that I had called Jehovah mute, so he quickly took advantage of it. "That's right! The city is being built for our own good. Why are you so stingy?"
Yuanshi Tianzun also said: "What does a city mean? Lord, if you can't afford it, we can help you. Heaven doesn't dare to claim to be rich, so it still doesn't look down upon this small change."
What Yuanshi Tianzun said made Jehovah very stinky, but he was indeed right. There is a reason why Jehovah refuses to provide money, and that reason is that he has no money. God on one side should be very rich, but Jehovah is in a special situation and he cannot afford the money for the time being.
I thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's do this. Everyone contributes money and you contribute. When building the city, your force is responsible for transporting supplies, right?"
"Okay." Jehovah agreed immediately.
I continued: "Would you think of a suitable location for urban construction?"
Philindil said: "Since it is a neutral city, why not put it in Switzerland?"
Yuanshi Tianzun immediately objected: "I think it's better to let China go. After all, Zi Ri is also Chinese."
"This is not okay." A god with a golden crown said: "Even if he is Chinese, this thing belongs to all of us, and we cannot be biased towards one side."
I saw that they were about to start a fight again, so I had to interrupt them again. "Okay, okay. I don't think you are the ones who can discuss things. Let's do this. I'll suggest a location and you can see if it works."
"Say it."
"What do you think about putting it on the top of Mount Everest?"
"ah?"
"No! Don't you think this place is great? It's nominally Chinese territory, and I'm Chinese, so I can save my face. But that place is actually a no-man's land. It's useless to build a city there. It doesn’t mean we are taking sides. What’s more, we think it’s very safe there, there are no disputes nearby, and the location is high, making it easier for you experts to come and go.”
"I think it works." Ditans was the first to nod in agreement. His meaning was very clear. This was to show his goodwill to me in order to make up for the broken relationship just now. Now it is basically a foregone conclusion that I will keep the Ring of Discipline. Although I am only taking care of it, the things must be kept here after all. So everyone has to be nice to me.
In fact, the current situation is like a tug-of-war between multiple people. I stood in the middle, and everyone had a rope, all connected to me. No matter who wants to pull me over, they will naturally be restrained by the power of other companies. Therefore, no one can really control me, but they have to continue to pull me, because although they can't pull me over, they will be able to do it as soon as they let go. Can be pulled away by others. In this situation, I, standing in the center, actually took the most advantage. The forces of various forces restrain each other. On the contrary, it gives me the ability to move more freely, and my position will be unbreakable. Unless the entire system is destroyed, anyone who touches me will be hostile to the large group of forces behind me. Ditans is actively trying to curry favor with me in an attempt to restore a good relationship with me.
In my heart I didn't want to dump him, but on the surface I still had to cater to him, but not too much, so I simply nodded. Seeing that Ditans took the lead, several other forces also agreed.
I said happily: "You will contribute money and effort to the city, and I will decide how to build it myself. This city will become the guardian city of the Ring of Commandments. If you want it to be safer, you can help me build more defensive circles or something." Yes, the more the merrier. Anyway, we are protecting your things. Of course, we must teach us the traffic methods, otherwise we will be in trouble. Now let’s talk about the second request. I ask that you must leave your contact information in my city. , no matter what communication equipment you use, you must let me know what happens if something goes wrong and contact you. If someone robs the Ring of Discipline, I will resist for 24 hours, and you must come as soon as possible during this period. So this communication method is very important. In fact, this request is for your own good and is not my personal request."
I am telling the truth. This request is for the safety of the city and for their own good. Of course, they agreed very quickly, and they all said that they would leave the communication equipment in person when the city was completed.
I continued: "The last request. Whoever finds the Stone of Discipline must give me the right to use it without affecting your use. Can I help you look at things and give me some service fees? This is not too much. ?”
Philindil took the lead and said: "Since there is a premise that it will not affect our use, it is difficult for us to refuse."
This request is of great benefit to me, but its impact on the gods is not as good as the first request, so everyone agreed readily.
After all the requirements were negotiated, everyone finally decided to hand over the Ring of Discipline to me for safekeeping, and the negotiation was concluded successfully. The gods all left one after another as if they had gotten an advantage, and the rest of the matter would have to wait until I returned to Essinger. These idiots worked so hard to grab it, but in the end, didn’t the Ring of Discipline end up in my hands?
