3320_ Looking for something
Me: "If I don't care about task ratings, benefits, or what the object of the task will be, then even if I accept the task, I may complete it casually. The task is not strongly binding on me. I will not follow the task. I will only act according to my own preferences, and in the end, there will still not be enough goals.”
Me: "No goal will be boring. Even if I have been doing the things I like and not doing the things I don't like, but the things I like come too easily, it seems, it dilutes my cherishment of it. I know I should cherish it, I have never meant to discard it, I will firmly hold on to this love, but it is difficult for me to put all my attention on it."
Me: "Father, how did you do it? Thousands of years are like a day. I can practice sword day after day without getting bored, but I just don't get bored. I can't be very excited and can't do other things at all Among them. Just like when I first started researching Tongmingguo, I could think about it all the time, but after two years, I got tired of it, and then I became interested again, and I was only interested. I did it very sparingly, and I will never Can't think of anything else but that."
Me: "How can I stay focused on one thing for a long time?"
Me: "Oh, I also want to make it clear that my attitude towards sword training has always been correct and I have never been lazy. When practicing swords, my heart is calm, but I don't feel reluctant when I stop the sword. Why don't I Will you be reluctant? Shouldn't a sword repairer be unable to stop once he uses his sword?"
Dad: "Does the training of a swordsman only include basic sword moves?"
Me: "But I also feel this way about fighting. I will concentrate when I start, and when it comes time to stop, I will not be reluctant, and I will not deliberately provoke disputes for the sake of fighting."
Dad: "Sword cultivators just fight?"
Me: "...No matter what the sword repair contains, I don't have a strong sense of reluctance, I don't have the feeling of being 'indispensable' to do anything...No, there is one thing, you guys. I absolutely can't... ...is it too gross to say 'can't stop loving you guys'?"
Uncle ignored my last sentence and asked, "What answer do you want from me?"
Me: "Help me find something that makes me sleepless nights and food can't stop? But even if I find it, it won't solve the fundamental problem. Even if that thing grabs my full attention for a few years, it will only be a few years, and then I will I will still be indifferent to it. I may continue to like it, but I will not be addicted anymore. I think, I need to be addicted. However, addiction may mean losing control, and I don’t want to lose control.”
3321_ Randomly choose one
Dad: "Go to the mission office and pick up a mission outside the sect."
Me: "I'll try. But I don't have much hope for the effect of this method now. Will this preconception also affect the effect?"
Dad: "Maybe. Try it and you'll know."
After I arrived at the task office, I said to the staff of the task office, senior sister Zhu Qi: "Please help me randomly choose a mid-term Jindan mission outside the sect."
Senior Sister Zhu Qi: "Random?"
Me: "Randomly. All Jindan mid-term external missions are included in the screening range, no manual intervention is required." Let fate determine the content of my missions.
Senior brother Hu Yuanjia came over, as if he wanted to tell me a lot of lessons.
I preemptively emphasize: "No human intervention whatsoever. Any."
Brother Hu Yuanjia was pushed away by others:
"Old Hu, you go, I don't need you here."
"Old Hu, you are a little bit reserved. How can you do everything by yourself? A good leader is a leader who gives his subordinates a chance to perform. If you don't believe me, ask senior brother."
"Why don't you go and exchange your management experience with the big brother? The big brother thinks highly of you, that's why he is willing to teach you repeatedly. You should cherish it."
……
In the end, Senior Brother Hu Yuanjia was pushed away before he could say a word to me.
Those who participated in pushing him included the staff of the mission office and ordinary disciples who just came to hand in the mission.It seems that everyone has already summed up an effective plan for getting along with Brother Hu.
Over there, Senior Sister Zhu Qi is ready for the screening: "Here, the search criteria are set to Jindan mid-stage and Zongwai, and the others are all empty. This is all the results I got. I put all the numbers and put them in the lottery magic weapon .Second Young Master, do you want to check again whether the lottery magic weapon has a built-in mechanism?"
Me: "No, I won't touch it. If I check it, the residual spiritual power may cause interference."
Senior Sister Zhu Qi: "Well, let's use the three lottery instruments to draw three times and take the average value. If the average value is not an integer, we will round it up."
I agree.
The calculated number is three five five.
The numbering of missions is confusing.When the task office was first established, the first task number included in the list was one, followed by two, three, four, etc., and the common numbers for various tasks such as Zhu Jin Dan, who disclosed major secrets, etc., the task type was written in the task briefing, not in reflected in the task number.When the previous task is completed, the task is archived, and the number is vacated, and the new task uses these vacated numbers.Therefore, the same task number refers to different tasks in different periods, and tasks with smaller numbers may be released later than tasks with larger numbers.
That is to say, you can't tell what kind of mission it is just by looking at the serial number.
3322_ Bodyguard mission
Senior Sister Zhu Qi: "Have you checked the task list recently, Second Young Master?"
Me: "No. I don't know what mission Three Five Five is."
Senior Sister Zhu Qi: "Then, should you accept it now, or read the mission brief before deciding?"
Me: "Pick it up immediately."
Senior Sister Zhu Qi: "Okay. Accepted successfully. I have sent you the task details, and the task will officially start from now on. After that, if you give up the task, it will be graded according to the normal task scoring standards, and you can do nothing A waiver counts as zero."
I see."
Senior Sister Zhu Qi: "Then, Second Young Master, I wish you good luck. If you have something unhappy, you can tell it, and we can discuss how to deal with it together. Don't bother with Senior Brother Hu Yuanjia. Although he is in charge, he must manage according to the rules. He has no control over what tasks you take, what tasks you don’t take, how you do them, or whether you do them or not.”
Brother Hu Yuanjia, who got rid of everyone's pushing and shoving, finally came back: "..."
He acted as if he was not dignified, but in fact he didn't have to be sad, because the senior brother usually didn't have much dignity, and every day someone would make jokes about the senior brother, make up jokes, or make jokes, in person.
Senior Brother Hu Yuanjia opened his mouth, and the people around him immediately wanted to push him again; Senior Brother Hu shut his mouth, with a dull expression on his face.
I nodded to everyone, left the mission office, and flew directly to the mission location.
This is a bodyguard mission.
The second generation of foundation-builder cultivators of a family of comprehensions offended a Jindan stage casual cultivator, who claimed that he would take the life of the second generation of cultivators.The second generation of Xiu is very favored at home, and there is a golden core in his family, but he is not sure how to properly protect his young master from the threat of loose cultivators, so he entrusts Yunxiazong at a high price:
"Until we discuss a compensation plan with Fellow Daoist Han, please make sure that Xiao Qing is not harmed."
The casual cultivator who was offended was named Han Yituo, the second generation cultivator who offended Han Yituo was named Xu Qing, the cultivator's family was the Xu family, whose ancestor was the emperor's Xu family.
Cultivating the second generation... This task is indeed destined for me. Although it is possible to find something related to me in any task, the most important reason why I am living so comfortably now is that I am the second generation of repairing, so let me get closer. Let's take a look at the lives of other second-generation Xius.
Definitely not as comfortable as me.At least when I was at the Foundation Establishment Stage, I never worried that I would offend a casual cultivator at the Golden Core Stage—if I got angry, I would be angry. When I had twins at the Golden Core Stage, one person could overthrow a group of ordinary Golden Core Stage cultivators.
3323_Think carefully
The Xu family considered a lot when choosing a bodyguard.Because the opponent is Jindanqi, the ones who can entrust can only be selected from the second-rate sect - the third-rate sect Jindanqi is an elder, and the elder is the bodyguard of the little boy?Although there may be such free ones, in times of crisis, it is safer to find those with high probability.
Jin Danqi is already the mainstay of the second-rate sect, and he considers the sect too much when he acts, and he is an elder in the sect. If Xu Qing is not pleasing to the eye and reprimands him, Xu Qing will continue to twist, and the two will quarrel. To offend another Jin Danqi.
The missions of the Golden Core Period in the Ten Majors can only represent individuals to a certain extent, and they will not be too serious. If Xu Qing's character is clearly introduced in advance and the commission fee is set higher, they can probably coexist peacefully.
The Xu family: "Please be sure to choose a Taoist friend with a gentle and tolerant personality to take on this task. Xiaoqing is not a bad person, but has a bad temper. As long as you don't take his nonsense seriously, he is actually very easy to get along with."
It is precisely because of this requirement for the personality of the task executor that the Xu family first ruled out Chiwuzong and Jianzong when choosing a sect—for fear that Xu Qing would be beaten to death by the bodyguards before Han Yituo took action—the Kunlun Xu family felt that I can't afford it myself; demon cultivators are notoriously unpredictable, so they are also excluded; hiring bodyguards did not consider Medicine Sect; although Zhong Sumen and Gutianmen's force value is stronger than Medicine Sect, they are not good at force after all. , can only be used as a backup option, try not to choose; I am sorry to see the girl being abused, and the Yanxing Gate is also crossed out; so only the Gate of Rebirth and Yunxiazong are left.
In terms of gentle and tolerant personality, the Gate of Rebirth has a good reputation, but the Xu family wondered if Xu Qing would bully her if she was too gentle?If there is someone who doesn't fight back at Xiangshengmen and doesn't care about Xu Qing, but other disciples of Xiangshengmen become angry when they hear about it afterwards, then Xu Qing has offended Wangshengmen?No, no, you still need to be angry, and if there is a small conflict, it will be resolved on the spot, so that there will be no future troubles.Yunxia sect's master sword cultivator is not too soft, and he has always been not too violent when dealing with outsiders. It is just right, so Yunxia sect is.
Choosing a blind date is not as troublesome as you are.
Me: "If I don't care about task ratings, benefits, or what the object of the task will be, then even if I accept the task, I may complete it casually. The task is not strongly binding on me. I will not follow the task. I will only act according to my own preferences, and in the end, there will still not be enough goals.”
