Chapter 8: Purpose
🕑 Added 2025-02-28 15:17:03 +0000 UTCBefore Nan Fusheng was promoted to a “swindler”, because of his advance role-playing, he immediately digested a lot of the “magic potion” after taking it.
However, tonight, most of his “magic potion” was suddenly digested. The reason he could think of was that he deliberately let Tang Wulin and the others see it this morning. They should be discussing him now.
“A fraudster is a fraudster. His main purpose is to defraud and deceive others. He doesn’t have to go there to defraud others of their money.”
Frankly speaking, this discovery also made Nan Fusheng feel relieved. After all, if he was going to defraud others, if the amount was small, then the digestion process would definitely not be too fast and it would take too long. If the amount was too large, he was afraid that he would end up in jail.
This also gave Nan Fusheng a better understanding of acting. “Acting” is determined by one’s own understanding of this profession and the inner heart of the actor. Whether it is good or evil depends on the actor, and everyone has a different personality. Therefore, the behavior style of each “swindler” is different.
It's like a "doctor" who can make medicine to save lives or poison to kill people, but whether to use it or how to use it depends on him.
The three paths of the Lord of Mysteries where Nan Fusheng is located are “The Fool”, “The Door”, and “The Error”. The ritual of the first sequence of the “The Fool” path is:
Build a secret town, design the fate trajectory for each secret doll, let them interpret a sufficiently real picture of life through interaction, and give birth to the corresponding area in the spirit world. The larger the town, the more secret dolls, the more detailed the daily life, the more vivid and real the different destinies, and the longer they last, the better the effect of the ritual.
However, if you want to build this “mysterious doll town” by yourself, it will be laborious and time-consuming, especially the “designing the fate trajectory for each doll”, which is equivalent to asking one person to “build the life trajectory of everyone in the town and play the role of everyone himself.”
But if there is another way to succeed quickly, that is to turn all the people in a town into “secret dolls”, which saves time and effort. However, this is also equivalent to killing everyone in a town.
Which of these two methods to choose is a matter of opinion.
For Nan Fusheng, if he still can’t digest the “magic potion” after so many years of preparation, then he can only try other methods to see if they can be considered fraud.
For example, being an “auctioneer” who uses eloquence to sell items at a price far exceeding their true value is not only a fraud, but also legal.
Directly defrauding others is the last and worst method. After all, fools are not that easy to find.
At the same time, the digestion progress of the “magic potion” also told Nan Fusheng the peculiarities of “Tang Wulin” and “Na’er”.
That is “person”, which plays a vital role in “Lord of Mysteries”, whether it is as a source of power, a channel of energy supply, or a symbol of authority and influence.
It Is essentially a more advanced form of Beyonder Attributes that permanently affect the body and soul. For example, some “potions” may cause permanent changes to the body of the person who takes them, such as increasing height or changing gender. These side effects caused by potions will not disappear even if the Beyonder Attributes are lost.
As for Tang Wulin and Na’er, one has the Golden Dragon King’s divine core sealed in his body, and the other is the Silver Dragon King himself. Even though they have transformed into humans now, their status will not change.
As for Tang Wulin, the Golden Dragon King’s divine core also seemed to be counted as a part of him.
“According to the current progress, my ‘potion’ will be digested in the next few days.”
Nan Fusheng was not surprised at the speed at which the potion was digested, and even felt that the speed was a bit slow.
For example, Nan Fusheng is still a thief. The concept between stealing a dollar from an ordinary person and stealing a dollar from the hands of a god is completely different.
“It may be because Tang Wulin has not yet opened the seal of the Golden Dragon King, or the concepts of the two worlds are a little different. After all, the world of the Lord of Mysteries is more inclined to the style of Cthulhu.”
Although it was a little different from what he had imagined, Nan Fusheng was not too disappointed.
However, this also convinced him of the importance of building a good relationship with Tang Wulin.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will probably have to follow Tang Wulin for a long time. At the same time, this will also pave the way for “stealing” the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King in the future.
There is no emotion in the adult world, only interests. For Nan Fusheng, the “bloodline of the Golden Dragon King” may not be necessary, but he is still used to laying a foreshadowing in case it is needed in the future.
However, at this stage, Nan Fusheng’s main focus is to build a good relationship with Tang Wulin. After all, although Tang Hao and A Yin are on guard against the invasion of the Abyss, they are not unable to take action in Douluo Continent.
For example, when Nan Fusheng and Tang Wulin first met “Na’er” that day, although it was only for a moment, Nan Fusheng suddenly felt palpitations.
At first he thought it was an illusion, but thinking back, this should be a warning from “Source Castle” or his own spirituality.
The encounter between Tang Wulin and Na’er was definitely the work of the two of them or Tang San.
After all, the Silver Dragon King had just transformed, and an accident happened, so he was stranded outside, and was almost captured by gangsters when he was met by them.
No matter how I think about it, it doesn’t seem right. Di Tian and his team went there, and it took them three years to find it.
At least when Tang Wulin met Na’er, Tang Hao and Ah Yin were definitely paying attention. If he dared to intercept them at that time, the “daughter-in-law” of the Tang family might have been hit by a soul guide car while walking, or met an evil soul master on the road and was shot to death.
In addition, there are also the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python.
Anyway, he would not attack Tang Wulin for the time being until he reached Sequence 2 or could freely borrow the power of Sequence 2 without paying too much of a price.
Sequence 0 of the thief, Sequence 2 of the “error” path, “Fate Trojan”, also known as the “Fate Thief”. It can manipulate the fate of others and make them make certain mistakes within a certain period of time. This is a loophole in fate.
In simple terms, it is the ability to steal the fate of others and replace their identities. This makes them unlucky, lose all connection with the real world, and die little by little. This is the true meaning of “social death”.
With this ability, he could try to obtain even some of Tang Wulin’s “opportunities” in the future. Some small opportunities didn’t matter, but he couldn’t let go of some big ones.
For example, when Tang Wulin is given an “aphrodisiac” in the future, Gu Yuena will use the “fate stealing” trick to help him. That scene…tsk tsk.
