Chapter 256 Going to Sea
A warm smile appeared on Mr. Mai's face, and he looked at Chu Wang, who was young but inexplicably put great pressure on himself.
"Chu Wang, right? It seems that I have decided on your first lesson as a sage, which is to teach you to relax."
"relaxation?"
"Yes, whether you are fighting or thinking about the future of mankind, only enough relaxation can prevent you from being eager for quick success or regretting making wrong decisions on impulse."
"But, I'm not reckless on weekdays, am I?"
Chu Wang looked at the mysterious old man in front of him with some confusion, but also had an amiable and respectable temperament.
“That’s because you haven’t faced some choices yet.
For example, when you need to choose between your life and the lives of countless people, if you die, the enemy can let go of countless lives in his hands. What choice do you make?
For example, your lover is in dire straits and needs you to rescue him as soon as possible. But at this time, monsters invade the world in large numbers and your protection is also needed here. How do you choose?
Another example is your family and the same three innocent passers-by, facing life and death decisions at the same time.
This kind of thing, when you can influence the direction of a world, you will encounter too many.
The biggest difference between humans and monsters is that humans are creatures with emotions. Emotions allow humans to understand the rules faster and better, allowing humans to quickly catch up with high-end combat power. In fact, they are not inferior to naturally powerful monsters. them.
But it is also the shackles of emotions that cause many weaknesses in human beings. Every drink and peck must be God's will. "
Mai Lao's eyes sparkled with the vicissitudes of life, as if he had experienced the open-mindedness and sadness after personally experiencing these choices and pains.
The look in Chu Wang's eyes showed a trace of pity and apology for the choices and pain this young man would have to go through in the future.
Mercy is that in this great world, the integration of the source world and this world is coming, and it must be the final battle of this great drama.
And on the cusp of the storm, what Chu Wang has to experience must be a life that is many times more bizarre and twists and turns than his already ups and downs life.
Apologize, even Mai Lao doesn't know if it is too cruel for him to choose this unique young man to be the successor of the sage.
Chu Wang could naturally feel these two emotions from the other person's gaze on his shoulder.
However, he was not affected by the other party's sad mood. He raised his head with a bright smile on his face.
"Mr. Mai, which choice did you make that day?"
A heartfelt smile appeared on Mr. Mai's face,
"Today I stand before you alive and in good physical and mental health. That already explains the answer."
"Hahaha, Mr. Mai, I think I have the potential to become a sage."
"good!"
As these words of appreciation came out, in an instant, the wind and water moved, the grass grew and the clouds grew soft, and the originally lively and lively world appeared before their eyes again.
Xue Baoning pinched his son's ear hard and said, "You bastard, danger is always with me. If you keep talking nonsense like this, I'll pluck your ears off."
Chu Wang begged his mother playfully with a smile on his face, and hurriedly pulled them to sit in the viewing area. There was still a lottery session after which the ceremony was over.
At the same time, nine bells rang throughout Yunfu City, announcing the official start of the awards ceremony.
As the first place in this year's Rising Star League, he is the most dazzling star on the land of the Chinese Federation at the moment.
Chuwang naturally won the honor of selecting the next host city.
Walking to the stage with a smile on his face, Chu Wang casually pulled out a card with the name of the city written on it.
The host took the card from his hand, first glanced at the content of the card secretly, and then glanced at Chu Wang's position with an expression of disbelief.
Because it was a federation-wide live broadcast, the host did not show off.
"The host city of the next Rising Star League will be Dingfeng City!"
On the rostrum, Chu Wang was in a daze. By chance, he actually brought this nationally watched game back to his hometown four years later.
"Perhaps in four years' time, I will have successfully solved the problems in the Destiny World. By then, I can return to my hometown and watch Chu Qing play the game with my parents."
Chu Wang whispered softly, which aroused the host beside him to be curious and hurriedly asked him what he was thinking at the moment.
Of course, Chu Wang laughed and called him, and walked off the stage with a smile. Minister Mo, who was already excited, naturally rushed up to Chu Wang and gave Chu Wang a grand hug.
Patted him gently on the shoulder,
“Back then, I thought you were a good kid and could achieve great things.
Now that you have another Rising Star League champion, how about you go back to Dingfeng City and give your juniors and juniors a hearty lecture? "
Chu Wang scratched his head and smiled bitterly, but he quickly waved his hand.
"No, Minister Mo, in order to welcome the coming of the Source World, I have agreed to an old man to travel around the world with him and study for a period of time.
But he won't be able to return to Dingfeng City in a short time. "
"Oh? Which master on stage took a fancy to your talent and wanted to take you under his wing?"
Hearing Chu Wang's words, Mo Yan's eyes immediately flashed with light.
"Of course not. My teacher, Teacher Qin Henshui Qin from Tianming Academy, has already achieved a breakthrough in the card master level recently.
Vice Principal Wang had already informed several masters present about this news, and they naturally stopped thinking immediately.
As for this senior, he doesn't want me to mention his name, so I can only say sorry to you, Minister. "
"It doesn't matter. It's better if you can't mention your name. It's even better if you can't mention your name!"
Mo Yan, an old fox, naturally understood immediately that perhaps the old man Chu Wang mentioned was a more powerful being than the card master.
The identity of this kind of person is naturally self-evident, but it is no longer something that he, the Minister of Education of a small Dingfeng City, can deal with.
I glanced at the face in front of me with emotion, and there was still a touch of immature Chu Wang. Only half a year had passed. The immature boy who originally needed to be sheltered under the Ministry of Education to destroy powerful enemies and gain benefits had grown up rapidly to the age of 16. He even had to stand up to take a closer look.
He patted Chu Wang's already thick shoulders with emotion, "At this age, it's time to go out and see the world. Don't worry at home, I will take good care of it for you."
…
I said goodbye to my family and friends, and took a long vacation with Fang Bo again. I even took a leave of absence and did not plan to take the final exam.
Chu Wang found rather helplessly that he had drifted away from campus life, and now he no longer looked like a student at school.
In addition to Tianming University, on Peach Blossom Island in Bibo Lake, there is also a dormitory No. 1 with his name written on the door plate. It seems that there is very little of himself left in this university that he originally dreamed of.
He shook his head and said, "That's not possible. I have to take some time in the meantime to go back and get the first place on the Heavenly Ranking. How can my name, Chu Wang, not be spread in Yunshang City?"
But now.
After bidding farewell to his family, Chu Wang turned around and looked at the old figure standing quietly beside him, but it seemed that no one around him had noticed his presence, with a solemn look on his face.
"Mr. Mai, I'll be sorry for you in the next period of time."
Immediately afterwards, Chu Wang didn't care that he was still outside the intercity train station, surrounded by bustling crowds of pedestrians who were leaving Yunfu City after watching the game.
Without hesitation, Chu Wang bowed three times and respectfully gave Mr. Mai a apprenticeship ceremony.
At this time, Mai Lao was as still as a mountain, with a solemn look on his face, and had no intention of avoiding Chu Wangxing's salute.
After all, preaching and receiving a mission, in any era in China, is an extremely solemn event that can change a person's life.
What Mai Lao carries is the most mysterious and precious [Sage] inheritance in all mankind, so in the last three months, Chu Wang and Mai Lao have had the purest master-disciple relationship.
Therefore, it was natural and necessary for Chu Wang to perform the apprenticeship ceremony at this moment.
After the apprenticeship ceremony, the old man and the young man looked at each other and smiled. Instead of taking the intercity train, they walked directly and disappeared into Yunfu City.
…
The southernmost point of the Chinese Federation, South Reef Shark Island.
Because it is a small island formed by a huge shark-shaped reef exposed above the sea, and it is located at the southernmost point of the entire Chinese Federation, hence its name.
On the small island, on the coast, Chu Wang, with a troubled face, looked bitterly at Mr. Mai beside him, who seemed to be in a calm state all the time.
At this moment, because he continued to hike in the wilderness, his original clothes could no longer withstand the wind, sun, frost, and rain, so he was replaced by a coarse cloth coat of the same style as Mai Lao's.
But that day, in front of Chu Wang, Mai Lao, who was twisting flax into silk, twisting silk into cloth, and cutting cloth into clothes, really shocked Chu Wang for a long time.
Looking at the clothes that were tailor-made to fit his body shape, Chu Wang couldn't help but sigh,
"Mr. Mai, I didn't expect you to have this skill."
“Covering the body with clothing is originally a symbol that distinguishes human beings from other life forms and proves that they are a civilized race.
As a member of the human race, being able to make clothes is the most basic skill. Of course, you must master this.
There are also fishing, hunting, picking, planting, cooking... and other important skills that are related to human beings' survival in this world. As a sage, you must not only know them, but also do them extremely well.
From today on, you will be responsible for the food for the two of us. Whether it is the collection of ingredients, the combination, or the final cooking, you must do it yourself, and you cannot use the power of cards. "
In this way, Mai Lao used a piece of clothing to turn Chu Wang into a cook.
From that day on to the coast of the current South Reef Shark Island, Chu Wang was thinking sadly about how he could catch a few fish from the vast sea with his bare hands to feed the two of them.
Moreover, Mr. Mai strictly advocates the idea of "never getting tired of fine food and never getting tired of fine food. He believes that people eat not only to meet their survival needs, so that they are no different from ordinary beasts, but also to eat well, with balanced nutrition and matching taste."
So every time he cooks, Chu Wang is racking his brains and running around in a hurry.
Fortunately, no matter how hastily he prepared at the beginning or how unpalatable the food was at the beginning, Mr. Mai, as the leader, did not rebuke him once. Instead, he looked indifferent and chewed carefully every time. Slowly eat every piece of food prepared by Chu Wang.
This made Chu Wang feel extremely embarrassed, and he continued to improve his cooking skills crazily.
"Mr. Mai, are you sure we want to build a small boat and go to sea from here?"
In addition to the difficulty of cooking, the rush along the way really gave Chu Wang a headache.
Due to his identity, Mr. Mai didn't have any destiny cards with him, and naturally he didn't have any riding monsters to use.
Correspondingly, as the two of them hurried on, they even relied on their own feet to measure the land.
Fortunately, Mr. Mai taught Chu Wang a human magical power called [Shrinking the Earth into an Inch] from the beginning. It was the same as the long-distance running skill of monsters, allowing him to use the space system he mastered [Eternity]. 】With the power of rules, you can reach the end of the world in one step, and your speed is not inferior to those card masters who have diamond-level riding monsters.
The problem that came with it was that the pair of tactical boots that Chu Wang was wearing were in good condition, but they only lasted until he left the Jiangnan Province and were declared scrapped.
Only then did Chu Wang realize that Mai Lao, who was standing in front of him, had been stepping on this land with bare feet.
“The earth is the mother of all things in the world, nourishing all creatures in the world, and is naturally the mother of human beings.
As long as we step on Mother Earth, humans will have inexhaustible power.
You might as well experience it for yourself during the next trip. "
Therefore, from that day on, the cook Chu Wang was deprived of the right to wear shoes and ran barefoot across the land of China every day.
At this moment, the two finally physically crossed over, passed through Jiangnan Province and Lingnan Province, and arrived at the southernmost point of the Chinese Federation, which was the island at their feet.
"Mr. Mai, where exactly is the destination you want to take me to for this training trip? Are you leaving the territory of the Chinese Federation?"
Mai Lao smiled and asked instead, without answering his question,
"You have studied geography and know that the land where humans live is actually a sphere, right?"
Chu Wang nodded obediently. This was the most basic knowledge, and he naturally understood it clearly.
"Then you also know that starting from a point on the surface of the sphere, as long as you keep walking in a straight line, you will return to the origin again after one circle around the sphere, right?"
Chu Wang stood stunned for a moment, looking at the old man in front of him who had less than three months to live and was speechless.
"Do you want to travel around Blue Star in ninety days?" Chu Wang couldn't help but asked out of curiosity.
"Humans are not just Chinese people. If you want to understand the greatness of the human species and unlock the huge power hidden in the human body, this blue planet can give you the final answer."
Mai Lao smiled and pointed at the endless waves in front of him.
"From here to the south, 139,764 nautical miles away, you can reach the Kingdom of the Sea. The Atlantis there is a group of people with gills only found in fish, and they call themselves the sea people. Human beings control it, and your path to study begins here." (End of Chapter)
