There were no fools in the Void, but not everyone was smart.
After Tang Shidao obtained Life Weave, he also had a deep understanding of intelligence. Not to mention the level of Mages, the range of ordinary people … Was it true that the longer one lived, the higher one's intelligence? Actually, that was not the case! Most of the time, longevity was due to rich life experience, knowing more things, and changing the way people thought, "The older you are, the smarter you are."
In essence.
From the perspective of ordinary people, a ten-year-old would look down on a five-year-old, a 20-year-old would look down on a 10-year-old, a 30-year-old would look down on a 20-year-old, and a 40-year-old would look down on a 30-year-old. The older generation would always think that the younger generation was not sensible, not because their intelligence had increased, but because they had more experience, or because they had made too many mistakes.
Not to mention others, most people would think that they were a fool when they looked back on their past ten years ago.
But did you really "increase your intelligence" in the past ten years?
No, you did not.
It was only because your life experience had increased, and the way you thought about things had changed.
If a human became smarter as they aged, then all old people were scientists. Was that the truth? No! Whether a person was a scientist or not was decided as early as when they were in their teens or twenties. Of course, this was not always the case. There were special cases, but in terms of probability, the level of an individual's intelligence had nothing to do with age.
It was the same in the Mage Web. A tree spirit that had lived for hundreds of millions of years would not be too different from a tree spirit that had lived for hundreds of years.
In just one day.
The merchants brought back the Book of Dragon Chong. Tang Shidao knew at a glance that it was fake!
However, it also had a meaning that ordinary people did not know. Was it because the Book of Dragon Chong hid a secret? No, the useful content was written on the page. Could Tang Shidao tell because he was smarter than everyone in the Kingdom of God? No, the reason was that the content had to match the design of the Moon Palace. Otherwise, it would be meaningless.
In short.
This had nothing to do with "intelligence" or research. Without the "password" of the Moon Palace, no one could understand the secrets in the Book of Dragon Chong.
Why was it said that there were no fools in the Void, and not everyone was smart?
The reason was that this book was a copy.
Not only did it make a copy, but it also reduced some of the content, making the real goal unclear. This meant that the merchants weren't lying, but the Star Lord of the White Hunt Divine Planet, or someone else who had come into contact with the book, had tampered with it. At the same time, it also proved that the Divine Kingdom was not as' honest 'as imagined, and that someone was spying on the secrets left behind by the' dragon '.
The Divine Nations could not go to war. Therefore, good things belonged to whoever found them first.
If anyone wants to snatch or fight, please leave the God Kingdom first.
Therefore, it was not difficult to smear himself.
At this time, Tang Shidao also felt that this was not just targeting the Dragon's relics. It seemed like someone was also trying to dig out his backer. Even in the Divine Kingdom, being able to take out Saint Crystals as a prize was not a trivial matter. If there was such an opportunity, it would be advantageous to dig up the God of Fortune's background.
However.
In Tang Shidao's eyes, this was an 'unwise' approach.
No matter what the situation was, the loss of 'integrity' in a large market like Scandinavia was a fatal blow. Tang Shidao very much suspected that this was not done by the Star Lord. It was very likely that their subordinates had a wild imagination and wanted to perform meritorious deeds. After sorting out his thoughts, Tang Shidao wanted to laugh. He had to admit that in many cases, a pig teammate was more terrifying than a God enemy.
"Thunder Arm, I've probably found a little. But there's too little information. Post the reward again and say that I've tripled the reward. "
"Yes, Mr. Long."
"There's one more important thing. I've simply analyzed some information and copied a part of the drawings. Pass it on to the various merchants on my behalf. Say that the record is incomplete and cannot be confirmed at the moment. Please continue to look for new clues. I have some important matters to attend to and must leave. It will probably take about ten days before I return. When there's new information, please inform me immediately. "Tang Shidao handed over the drawings, acting like an idiot.
"This, Mr. Long …" Thunder Arm couldn't say anything bad about the Divine Kingdom.
He couldn't say, "The people here may not be trustworthy, and they may very well steal your things."
As a member of the Divine Kingdom, Thunder Arm really hoped that this was a place of eternal light.
However.
Unfortunately, the reality wasn't like that. As long as Mr. Long sent out a part of the drawings, the others would immediately spread it out, and even people with more information would find it in advance. Even if the things they found were useless, the tripled reward was still 30 Saint Crystals … Who wouldn't want to steal this money?
"No need to say more. It's decided. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll leave first. "Tang Shidao prepared to rush to the teleportation station and leave.
"Ah, okay." Black Arm and the other merchants understood.
Mr. Long needed to "report" to his backer. Presumably, this "dragon" he had found was really important. However, they were all bitter inside. Once he did as he was told, everyone around the Thunder Chalk Divine Star would know about this matter, and the number of people coveting it would increase to infinity.
There was no other way now.
For the merchants, the customer's request was an order. Once they were paid, they had to do it.
Either they didn't accept the business mission, or they had to do it according to the order.
Tang Shidao left.
In less than half a day, there was a mocking voice. Although the Divine Kingdom was located in the land of eternal light, although it was a big market of integrity, although everyone here abided by the rules, wasn't it the same as giving away your secrets for free when you didn't know others had no clues?
That was a tripled reward.
No matter the value of the things they found, this huge sum of money was bound to be earned.
"This Mr. Long is also an idiot."
"He must think that the Divine Kingdom is full of good people, and there are no bad people."
"Haha, after a certain level of strength, which powerhouse isn't busy with some 'shady operations'? This Mr. Long is really a rookie. Is he a newbie deliberately cultivated by some god? It doesn't feel like it. Who would squander such a rare treasure like Saint Crystals? One is almost equivalent to a holy artifact of the same ring. "
"His strength should be very weak."
"Why?"
"If he has strength beyond the Saint Realm, it's impossible that he doesn't know that the Divine Kingdom often has void missions, and most of them are carried out in the dark areas of the Divine Kingdom. If he is very weak and has no understanding of the world of the powerhouses, it's not strange that he would do something like this. "
"In short, in any case, this guy is an idiot."
"Yes."
There was a lot of discussion in the undercurrents of the Divine Kingdom. Everyone was convinced that this Mr. Long's mission was over.
In addition to ridicule, everyone was actively inquiring about the whereabouts of this item.
Dragon Chong.
A weapon that might have been made of divine bones. If it was very powerful, its value might not be less than the reward of Saint Crystals. At this time, many people in the Divine Kingdom were busy. Tang Shidao also returned to his original world and continued to pay attention to the integration of interstellar civilizations. These ten days, he didn't idle. He continued to repair some ancient golems, and with the edge of each interstellar civilization as a starting point, he was assigned to various directions to search for new habitable planets.
During this time, in the Divine Kingdom, Mr. Long, the god of wealth, had become a big joke.
Because things had changed a step earlier.
Twelve days later.
Tang Shidao returned to the Divine Kingdom again, teleported to the Thunder Chalk Star, and returned to the large magic airship. Thunder Arm and a group of merchants were already waiting.
Seeing that "Mr. Long" had returned, they also looked ashamed.
"Any news?" Tang Shidao said calmly.
"Well … Mr. Long …" Thunder Arm gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and cupped his hands. "There is news, but it's not very good news. Seven days ago, an adventure team on the White Hunt Star found Dragon Chong. They seem to have more detailed clues, and with the analysis data and blueprints you provided, Mr. Long, it didn't take them too long to find it. "
"Can you sell it to me?" Tang Shidao looked as if he were rich.
"No, because the divine bones that made Dragon Chong are very large, even if the weapon itself is not very powerful, I don't want to exchange it. Earlier, we proposed to exchange the reward for Dragon Chong, and even proposed to double it. They … They seem to be laughing at you with this, so I'm afraid it'll be more difficult to get it. "
"Well, then forget it." Tang Shidao really didn't care.
The reason was simple.
It was fake!
Not only was the Book of Dragon Chong fake, but so was Dragon Chong … Dragon Master wasn't an idiot. What was the point of leaving a divine bone weapon behind? As long as the Moon Palace mission and Life Weave had nothing to do with these two things, even the great curse couldn't compare to Dragon Master's legacy for the rest of his life. This thing must be very important, so important that Dragon Master didn't leave anything behind. It was best to leave only this one thing behind for the rest of his life.
Hearing that, everyone was dumbfounded.
Was this a joke?
Mr. Long didn't care at all? Was he really just doing a random mission and didn't care about what the dragon left behind?
"Are there any new delicacies recently?"
The topic ended there.
Weirdly, things entered a different rhythm. Suppressing the doubts in their hearts, the merchants continued with the previous missions. Of course, the other reward for clues about the dragon didn't stop either. It didn't stop after finding Dragon Chong.
The next day.
Bai Shou, the Star Lord of White Hunt Divine Planet, came personally with someone.
"This person is one of my many sons, Bai Feng." Bai Shou brought over a freshly cut head and said, "I gave him the Book of Dragon Chong. When he changed hands, he modified part of it and sent a copy to you. You know what happened after that. He used the original records and your analysis data to find Dragon Chong one step ahead of me. When I came back, he was still asking for credit. "
"Star Lord Bai Shou, why did you …" Tang Shidao asked curiously.
"Because he did something wrong. Although this was only a transaction of one Arcanite gold coin, this kind of behavior is a form of fraud. In the Divine Nation, commercial fraud is a serious crime, and it's also a crime that I, Bai Shou, absolutely cannot tolerate. I've already sent Dragon Chong to you. I've killed everyone involved and paid ten Saint Crystals as an apology. I hope Mr. Long won't take offense. Please believe that the Divine Nation's market must be honest. "
"Oh, well, okay, I completely accept your kindness." Tang Shidao smiled with an expression of "I'm a newbie," indicating that he would believe whatever Bai Shou said.
That was the end of the matter.
Lightning Arm and the others were still confused, thinking that the big shots of the Divine Nation were too kind.
Was that the truth?
No.
It was because of a very simple reason: the commoner-level business on White Hunt Divine Planet didn't change, but the Saint-level business decreased by 90% in a day. Why? Because Bai Feng, the son of Star Lord Bai Shou, tricked Mr. Long! Tang Shidao deliberately made a fuss about this matter … That's right, deliberately publicized it. In other words, everyone knew that "Mr. Long was an idiot."
However.
Would the big shots who wanted to do business with White Hunt Divine Planet in the future be willing to be "Idiot No. 2"?
No!
You can trick Mr. Long, but who knows if you'll trick me. Anyway, there are so many Divine Planets, why should I take the risk to cooperate with you?
So.
Bai Feng had to be killed, and Bai Shou had to come.
The impact of this matter was too great. Too many people knew about it, and it was impossible to cover it up.
Tang Shidao accepted the apology and compensation with peace of mind. He already knew in his heart … that from the moment the Dragon Chong book was "replaced," his pig-like teammate had already lost. Increasing the bounty and deliberately spreading the blueprints — all of these were premeditated. It could be said that the other party thought he was smart, but he was just sending himself to death.
