Chapter 117 Most of the skill names are just nice to hear, but their strength...
In the end, the three of them finalized the plan that Vendisa would hold Bennett back, Mo Cheng would deal with twenty guards, and Margaret would lead the men through the Oriel checkpoint.
Although it is a plan, it is the most ideal method if you don't want anyone to die. As for what additional problems will arise when it is implemented, it is really hard to say.
It was late at night. Mo Cheng sat cross-legged on the ground, with a long stick placed across his knees and his eyes closed as if in meditation. A tranquil Zen atmosphere emanated from his whole body.
If he was not wearing the robes of a glorious priest, some people might have mistaken him for some great monk.
Mo Cheng's thoughts also went back along with the quiet night, back to the time before he traveled through time , when he was still a carefree, heartless college entrance examination candidate.
…
"So why did you choose Zen for your martial arts? Using the categories of Zen, Taoism, and Etiquette to create martial arts is too empty in concept. Not only is it difficult to exert its power, it is also very troublesome to maintain it."
"I just think that Zen might be very powerful. You know that my online time is not so flexible, so is there any version update for the Heart Martial Arts system?"
"It's not really an update, it's just that I discovered the limitations of the Heart Martial Arts. Direct and simple emotions like [love], [hate], and [anger] are the easiest to get started with the Heart Martial Arts. They also increase the power quite a bit and are even easier to use. Who doesn't have [hate] and [anger] when fighting?"
“I guess you’re going to say ‘but’ next.”
"If you answer correctly, I will treat you to a meal as a reward. Simple and direct emotional martial arts are the easiest to get started with. Character skills such as [madness], [arrogance], and [wisdom] are the next easiest. The elements of our material world such as [space], [sky], [deep sea], and [earth] are the next easiest. And those related to religion and philosophy such as [Taoism], [Zen], and [ritual] are the next easiest..."
After a pause, the man said, "Let me be frank. These three mental martial arts would require the rebirth of Laozi and Zhuangzi, the nirvana of Sakyamuni, and the reincarnation of Confucius to fully exert their capabilities."
"Then here comes the question..." Mo Cheng tried his best to hold back his laughter, his face flushed red, "How many people were cheated?"
"Nearly half of the players who cultivate mind skills want to create a better-sounding mind skill, but in the end, not only can they not exert the power that the mind skill should have, but they are also restricted in their use. After all, it is a newly created system, so problems are inevitable. Anyway, the mind skill is now only circulated among the players, and the natives are still waiting and watching."
The person who was speaking stretched and asked with interest, "Now many players have deleted their accounts and started over. Do you want to join me? I can just wash your [Poverty Pledge]. This thing is only useful in the early stages. You won't be able to beat the rich monk in the later stages."
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a light smile, "Or are you like some people who refuse to give up, and think that you can fully comprehend the philosophy and wisdom in it?"
"How is that possible? I'm already annoyed by the homework and exams, so I don't have time to read books on religious philosophy." Mo Cheng rolled his eyes. "But I don't plan to delete my account. I don't have much time to go online, so I'll just practice again. At worst, I'll just play like this. Anyway, I don't want any equipment or props for [Poverty Vow]. I'll basically play it alone, but the arena might be a little harder to beat."
Mo Cheng was very calm, just like when he first placed the [Poverty Pledge] without knowing it, and now it has become a DEBUFF. Anyway, he doesn't have much freedom when he goes online, so one more DEBUFF is not a big problem.
I don't join a group or form a team. Because of the [Poverty Pledge], I basically don't need equipment, props, or money. I, who have always been happy playing alone, can still have fun playing by myself even with multiple DEBUFFs.
"Okay, so the question is back to the beginning. Why did you choose [Zen] as your mental martial art?"
…
His eyelids trembled slightly, and Mo Cheng's hand reached out for the wooden stick, but stopped halfway.
He opened his eyes and looked helplessly at the female knight who interrupted his memories of the past, "What's the matter?"
Just now, Mo Cheng was about to fall asleep due to the energetic BUFF of [Night Hunter], but Margaret's approach ruined his plan to fall asleep tonight.
Mo Cheng felt that if he continued like this, sooner or later he would have dark circles under his eyes due to lack of sleep and staying up late.
As if she didn't feel Mo Cheng's tone, the female knight sat opposite Mo Cheng, her blue eyes quietly looking at the priest's face, and whispered: "Thank you."
Mo Cheng, who was originally a healer, did not need to follow Wendisa. He even had no reason to care about the lives of these people, because Margaret and Mo Cheng both knew that this was just a historical fragment of the past. No matter what happened here, it had nothing to do with normal time.
But Mo Cheng still stood up and faced the twenty sixth-level guards to buy time for Wendisa to delay and escape.
He didn't have to do that, and even if he did, Mo Cheng wouldn't benefit much. The one who would gain the most would be Margaret.
"No need to thank me. This is a decision I made on my own will." Mo Cheng rubbed his eyes. Although he was energetic at the moment, he still wanted to pretend to be tired to deceive himself and see if he could fall asleep.
"They may be illusory, and the ending may have been predetermined. Maybe no matter how hard we try, it will be in vain."
"But from my own perspective, they will cry because they have lost their loved ones, they will be afraid because of the confusion of the future, and they will tremble in fear when they think of the terror of the crazy army. They are human beings."
"I am saving people. Other people's opinions cannot interfere with why I use my power. At this moment, I am saving people, and the results of my saving people are not illusory."
Mo Cheng pushed his glasses, said nothing, and followed Margaret to listen to the steady breathing around him. Although there were still some people who were nervous and couldn't sleep, now they were no longer nervous and afraid as they were at the beginning. They didn't need to worry about being abandoned and facing the crazy army of butchers.
"Mo Cheng." Margaret suddenly called out Mo Cheng's name, not adding the title of "Priest" at the end as she did in the past. "I am very happy that I came here with you this time."
"I'm happy too." Thinking of the experience and system currency he had gained during this period, Mo Cheng couldn't help but smile. "Take these people to a safe place. Margaret, can I leave this to you?"
Margaret paused, then smiled and held out her hand. "Of course. Also, are you interested in working in the law enforcement team in the future?"
Mo Cheng reached out his hand and held the soft hand, "Let me be an extra-staff emergency doctor, it's no problem to treat seriously injured patients, and forget about running to work in the law enforcement group."
There was silence, and then a word of advice was heard.
"Don't die."
"rest assured."
On the other side, at a distance far enough away from Margaret's perception, Windissa saw their every move with her amazing eyesight, her eyes shining as she wrote furiously on the manuscript paper.
After a while, I kept the manuscript close to my body to ensure that it would not be discovered by others.
