Chapter 48 A Nest of Bears
Chapter 48 A Nest of Bears
Lu Mingfei was dumbfounded. He thought to himself, "How would I know this?!"
Caesar is the most reliable person to handle this, after all, he is a genius leader who single-handedly led the student council to a level that can rival the century-old Lionheart Society!
Although Caesar's achievements were supported by the Gattuso family, it must be said that he himself did possess charismatic leadership qualities.
Lu Mingfei sized up Di Tian and found Di Tian's appearance to be very convincing.
Tall, imposing, and solemn, he perfectly embodies the image of a leader.
However, he has lived for hundreds of thousands of years but has failed to improve the situation of soul beasts. On the contrary, he has watched helplessly as the habitats of soul beasts have become fewer and fewer. It has to be said that this is a dereliction of duty.
Of course, he is qualified in terms of high-end soul beast combat power reserves.
But having a few ferocious beasts isn't enough. The beasts fight each other and may even fight amongst themselves, making it easy for humans to find opportunities to defeat them one by one.
According to Ethan Mollick's theory of middle management influence developed by Wharton Business School, middle managers have a greater impact on the results of business operations than innovators and internal factors, especially in knowledge-intensive industries (such as gaming, software, and consulting), where middle managers are the core of resource coordination, process implementation, and team empowerment.
In management, the bottom layer is the ultimate carrier of efficiency; if the executors don't do their jobs properly, then the task will not be accomplished.
But now, among the soul beast race, the highest level is lying dead, the upper levels are inactive, the middle levels are left to fend for themselves, and the lower levels are cannon fodder.
This is what they mean by "a bad general breeds a bad family."
"Let me think about it." Lu Mingfei took a deep breath and did not refuse directly.
What kind of game is StarCraft? It's a strategy game.
What is Lu Mingfei's greatest strength, given his top-tier StarCraft skills? Strategy.
Could it be that he became a StarCraft master solely through his hand speed?
"However, there is indeed an important matter now," Lu Mingfei said, just remembering, "deepest in the Sunset Forest there is a Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, containing at least five 100,000-year-old plant soul beasts. According to the records left behind by the ascension, those plants are all immortal herbs."
"Although Sunset Forest has become a poisonous wasteland, if it were you, you should be able to find those immortal herbs."
"I don't care how much Tang San has done for them in the past, nor do I care how much they've been brainwashed by him. I want them to see the error of their ways and understand their true identity," Lu Mingfei straightened his back and looked at Di Tian with a serious expression. "Can you do it?"
Lu Mingfei was unaware that his eyes were shining with a dazzling golden light as he spoke, but Di Tian saw it.
He became even more determined, and without hesitation, he replied, "Yes, sir!"
Lu Mingfei was startled by Di Tian's resounding words, but he forced himself to remain composed.
The golden light in his eyes faded as his mood changed, and then Lu Mingfei, with a straight face, closed his eyes and continued cultivating.
Di Tian left with a surge of emotions.
The nine-tailed fox stared intently at Lu Mingfei, who was pretending to cultivate.
At this moment, he also became more determined to become a spirit.
This person can even command Emperor Tian, so he must be a ferocious beast in human form, or even a god descended to earth!
Just a few hours ago, the nine-tailed fox felt that his life was miserable, but now he was extremely grateful to Di Tian!
This immense wealth and fortune is finally his, the Nine-Tailed Fox's, turn! He, the Nine-Tailed Fox, is determined to cling to this powerful figure!
In the sea of spirit, Lu Mingfei's spiritual body was filled with a look of wanting to cry but having no tears.
"Oh no, Brother Tianmeng, how did I end up taking on this mess?"
Tianmeng was speechless.
He felt that Lu Mingfei was a stranger to him.
At first, Lu Mingfei was just a fool who pretended to be crazy, afraid of this and that, and easily gave up on himself.
If Hyotei hadn't punched him away, forcing him to grit his teeth and continue training out of fear of pain, this kid would probably have given up long ago.
After his heart-to-heart talk with Lu Mingfei yesterday, the boy is even more motivated to cultivate, but his demeanor when facing Di Tian just now...
Are you really the Golden Dragon King?
Lu Mingfei: [Who exactly is the Golden Dragon King?!]
"A powerhouse on par with the Silver Dragon King, I suppose." Tianmeng said. "Since Di Tian used that term, then the dragon behind us is most likely the Silver Dragon King."
[Since you were able to fuse with the Silver Dragon King's martial soul, the possibility of you becoming the Golden Dragon King is indeed quite high.]
Lu Mingfei looked at Tianmeng expressionlessly.
This reasoning is completely untenable! He's not even from this world!
Even if he really is a dragon, he's a dragon from the dragon world!
Moreover, when the little devil possessed him to fight, the dragon-human form he displayed was a black dragon!
"Then there's only one possibility," Hyotei's beautiful face was filled with solemnity, "You only have your own independent consciousness, but your independent consciousness is far superior to Yuhao's at this moment. It is your independent consciousness that caused all of this."
Lu Mingfei grabbed his hair, his eyes vacant.
What do you mean?
"Even if you're not aware of it, your subconscious mind influences your behavior." Tianmeng seemed thoughtful. "Perhaps, your so-called 'little devil soul exchange' wasn't a true soul exchange."
Hyotei nodded: "The loss of a soul inevitably leads to impaired mental function. Even if only one-tenth of the soul is missing, let alone half, it could result in mild mental fatigue and memory decline, or even severe amnesia and dementia."
"[Is it that serious?]" Lu Mingfei exclaimed in surprise. "[What exactly happened?]"
"Based on the premise that you are the protagonist, I guess," Tianmeng pondered, stroking her chin, "that everything the little devil does is to awaken your instincts!"
Hyotei also thought this guess made a lot of sense: "You were always very powerful, but you were sealed away for unknown reasons."
[Yeah, otherwise why would you be an S-rank?]
Lu Mingfei's expression was strange: [You mean, the little devil's exchange was actually to help me break the seal?]
[Possibly.] Tianmeng didn't know the exact situation and couldn't be certain.
Lu Mingfei thought about it carefully, and realized that there was probably such a possibility.
"Thinking about that now is useless," Tianmeng patted Lu Mingfei on the shoulder. "Your most important task is to complete the project! We don't know exactly what we need you to do, but becoming a god is an unavoidable step, otherwise you won't even be able to get past Tang San."
The protagonist should defeat all enemies!
If a protagonist has to survive until the very end, what kind of protagonist are they?
In addition, the name of this world is "Douluo Continent II: Peerless Tang Sect", which is obviously related to the Tang Sect that Yuhao joined.
However, given Lu Mingfei's current condition, it is not suitable for him to go to human society, so he has no choice but to find another way.
Anyway, the Tang Sect was practically penniless when Yuhao joined, so rebuilding a Tang Sect in the Star Dou Great Forest shouldn't be a problem for us.
The Tang Sect was the initial platform for Huo Yuhao's rise. If Huo Yuhao were still alive, he could indeed revive the Tang Sect and bring it to new heights.
But Lu Mingfei is not Huo Yuhao, and he has also offended the founder!
