Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 74: Task 3
Nanshanju.
Nan Baicheng was lying on a wicker chair, looking at the sky in concentration. The man in black clothes stood behind him with his hands lowered, saying nothing.
It took a long time before Nan Baicheng said: "Say it."
The man in black bowed and replied: "Tang Jie went to Lingtai Pavilion. Mrs. Shui recovered all the debt, but the Wei family gave him some money. With the money, he bought purple electric boots, fire crow ring and four Zhang Fafu and also retrieved the Qianfeng Bead."
"It seems that he is desperate and has to win all three tasks before he is willing to accept it." Nan Baicheng said leisurely: "Good boy, you already know what I mean, and you still dare to do this. Just because of this His courage is admirable. If he wants to become my junior brother, our southern city will be able to welcome him, but he has to give it to that Wei Tianchong... Damn it!"
"Actually..." The man in black hesitated for a moment and stopped talking.
Nan Baicheng has said: "What do you want to say?"
The man in black said: "For thousands of years, the selection of true disciples within the sect has mostly been conducted in the form of task assessments, regardless of the students' talents and achievements. The reason for this is largely to test the students. Comprehensive ability, so-called application of knowledge, is like this. And the so-called comprehensive ability actually includes talent, family background, temperament, brains, and even luck."
"Well, continue." Nan Baicheng said with his eyes closed. The man in black is right, God can give you peerless cultivation qualifications, and can also give him endless cultivation resources. Why is the Jade Sect Nine Revolutions a talent, but everyone's birth must be an external object?
In the eyes of practitioners, the process is meaningless, the result is the most important.
The world of cultivators consists of success and failure.
For this reason, in the eyes of the Xiyue Sect, the Nine Ranks of Yumen and everyone's background are just part of the innate abilities possessed by the students.
It is useless to argue about who is of greater value and who has a higher role. Let’s play it by ourselves.
The competition for the true biography takes into account this all-round ability, and only judges the hero based on the results, otherwise why bother?
The man in black continued: "Although Wei Tianchong relies on the help of Tang Jie's servant school, servant school can also be regarded as one of his resources. Since I, Xiyue Sect, can regard family background as talent, Why can't..."
"What you mean is that since Tang Jie is Wei Tianchong's disciple, you might as well regard him as part of Wei Tianchong's strength and the embodiment of his comprehensive ability, just like his puppet. Puppet Being strong means that the master is strong, so there is no need to block him from the door?"
"My humble opinion."
Nan Baicheng snorted: "It is indeed a foolish opinion, self-righteousness and wishful thinking!"
"Please give me some advice!"
Nan Baicheng has said leisurely: "Actually, what you said is not unreasonable. Tang Jie is Wei Tianchong's servant and loyal master, which can indeed be regarded as part of Wei Tianchong's strength. The world of cultivating immortals is cruel and cruel. Realistically, as long as you have the ability, it doesn’t matter whether this ability is reflected in your subordinates or yourself. The problem is that not everything in the world can be done according to reason. You have to know, I am not doing things for the justice of the world, but for the Master, and the Master’s preferences are the most important!”
As soon as these words came out, the man in black immediately woke up.
Zhenren Changfeng is not a simple person. As the leader of Xiyue Sect's worship hall, one of the Nineteen Heavenly Leaders of Xiyue Sect, he is the pinnacle among real people. His status is comparable to that of Zhenjun among casual cultivators and ordinary real people. Anyone who sees him has to stand aside, his will is definitely not trivial.
Nan Baicheng is well versed in the art of serving, and he knows that it is always more meaningful to figure out God's will than to explore the truth.
Yan Changfeng was born into a poor family and had average talent, but he had a strong will and endured countless **** battles in pursuit of the road. He even had the title of "Bloodbath Changfeng", which shows his character.
The way a person succeeds is often the way he selects talents.
Brave, tenacious, and unwilling to give up, these are the good prospects and real talents in his eyes. Compared with this kind of temperament, talents, resources and other conditions have to be sidelined.
Back then, Nan Baicheng refused to retreat in the face of Shi Wunian's pressure, and it suited Yan Changfeng's temperament, so he officially accepted him as a disciple.
What about Wei Tianchong?
Being greedy for life and afraid of death, timid, timid, and hesitant, it can be said that he is extremely weak in temperament. It would be strange for Yan Changfeng to like this disciple, so what the man in black said was "Tang Jie" The argument that it can also be considered an integral part of Wei Tianchong's strength cannot be established by Yan Chengfeng.
Understanding this at this moment, the man in black hurriedly said: "My subordinates are ignorant. In this case, Wei Tianchong must not let Wei Tianchong succeed in this final mission!"
"It's good that you know, then, do you have any solution?"
The man in black thought for a while and said: "The reason why Wei Tianchong was able to succeed twice was entirely due to Tang Jie. And the reason why Tang Jie was able to play a role is actually related to the tasks we gave before. In both missions, whoever submits the mission wins. This means that the person who finally completes the mission may not necessarily be the one who contributes the most, which gives Tang Jie room to play. Originally, the purpose of this approach was to compete among the students. Their comprehensive strength allows their family background, resources, brains and other conditions to also play a role, but because of Tang Jie's relationship, Wei Tianchong benefits from this. In my opinion, if Wei Tianchong fails, Tang Jie must be completely separated It is within the strength of Wei Tianchong. In fact, we did the same thing for the mission without returning to the valley, but we didn't do enough."
"What do you mean..."
"The next task must not be transferable. Students must rely on themselves to complete it."
Nan Baicheng nodded: "Yes, this is the only way it can be now, but such a task is not easy to find."
As he spoke, he sighed deeply.
Quests that use specific objects such as heads and red lotuses as victory conditions, in addition to maximizing the test of students' comprehensive strength, also have the most important advantage of being simple.
Due to the large number of students participating, overly complex tasks will increase the difficulty of the assessment, blur the judgment standards, and even hinder fairness.
Assuming, as the man in black said, that the third task must be completed by one's own hands to be considered a winner, things would be complicated.
First of all, the winning criterion for the task cannot be a specific item, otherwise it will be difficult to determine who is the winner during the competition.
Just like the battle between Honglian, An Rumeng was the first to encounter Honglian, then Tang Jie, and then Qi Shaoming. In this process, no one really owned it, so it was impossible to determine the winner. . And it would be too childish to win by being the first to touch the target, so the only condition is that the last owner wins.
The second thing is that killing cannot be the condition for victory.
Similarly, if the no-return mission was conditional on killing the Frost Elf, then in the original battle with the Frost Elf, many students would not fight each other, but attack together. When the time comes, swords are drawn together, spells are thrown randomly, and she is killed in a group blast. Who is the one who kills her?
The basic criteria for assessment are: the judgment conditions must be clear and unambiguous, and the answers must be unique in order to be convincing.
The third is that the task must be existing.
The Xiyue Sect will not specially design a scene for everyone to try out for a true inheritance. The cost is too high. They will only choose from existing tasks to meet the needs of assessment and completion of tasks at the same time.
The fourth is that the task must be able to meet the needs of thousands of students at the same time, and it must be the same goal. If the goals are dispersed, there will inevitably be many unfair situations, which are also unfair assessments.
Finally, the task must be confrontational. The true mission is fought over, so there must be conditions for confrontation between the students. And if there is confrontation, there must be contact. It is precisely because of this that even Nanbaicheng cannot completely separate Tang Jie and Wei Tianchong. They can only disperse them, but they cannot prevent them from gathering.
Various restrictions make it not easy to get the true mission. It's like students are worried about how to deal with every big exam, but they often forget that the examiners who set the test questions are also scratching their heads and racking their brains before the big exam.
Hearing what Nan Baicheng said at this moment, the man in black laughed: "If it is in Wenxin territory, it is indeed not easy to find."
"Huh?" Nan Baicheng was stunned: "You mean..."
"Wind Demon Island."
"Feng Mo Island?" Nan Baicheng's eyes immediately lit up, but then dimmed randomly: "Feng Mo Island is a place that meets the requirements, but it is the territory of Tianya Hai Pavilion."
"Then let's rent it. Feng Qingyu is a good auxiliary material for practicing wind spells. It just so happens that there is a shortage of Feng Qingyu in the sect recently, so I originally planned to buy a batch from Tianya Haige. Feng Qingyu is hard to come by, so we let the students go Collect and calculate the money according to the price. Tianya Haige can save some manpower, which is just what it wants. If the negotiation is good, it may be cheaper. In this way, the students will be assessed, the task will be completed, and some resources will be saved for the faction. Being able to make good friends with Tianya Haige is the best of all three."
"But the winning criterion can no longer be based on Feng Qingyu!"
"That's natural. Taking the Nine Palace Heart Ring as the winning condition, whoever can reach the Nine Palaces first, enter the Tianxin Ring, and touch the Sea Heart Stone will be the winner. As for Feng Qingyu, set another standard. Just calculate the price based on the jade. Those who turn in the most Feng Qingyu can get some extra rewards. With Wei Tianchong's ability, it is impossible for him to be the first to enter the Nine Palaces Heart Ring. If Tang Jie is smart, it is better to Taking the opportunity to find a few more pieces of Feng Qingyu and reaping the real benefits is giving him a chance, and it is also giving us a chance."
"It's difficult to stop it, and it's tempting to lure it...this idea is still possible." Nan Baicheng thought about it carefully, nodded and agreed with the man in black: "But Tang Jie~IndoMTL.com~ I think he has a strong mind and is not someone who can be easily swayed by petty gains. If he is not tempted, he will still be a problem."
"Then please ask the people from Tianyahai Pavilion for some help and do some tricks in the Nine Palaces and Mysterious Sky Formation."
"Good idea!" Nan Baicheng nodded repeatedly: "If I remember correctly, Feng Mo Island is now managed by Ji Wujiu from Tianya Hai Pavilion. I don't have any friendship with this person, but I remember him and Pai Lin Shangyun in the film has had the experience of fighting the enemy together several times, and Lin Shangyun has a good relationship with the third senior brother. It seems that he has to ask the third senior brother to help negotiate... Oh, this **** Tang Jie, just because of him, how much can I ask for? People help us!"
Speaking of this, Nan Baicheng was also very angry.
He admired and resented Tang Jie at the same time, and his mood was extremely complicated.
Thinking about it was not enough, Nan Baicheng said again: "There are too many entrusted relationships, and it is always a little unreliable. This is the last mission, and no more mistakes can be made no matter what. Let's do this, begging for trouble, this time Feng Mo You will also go on the island trip."
"Am I going too?" The man in black was shocked: "Sir, I am not a student. And if I take action, if I am discovered, it will really solidify your reputation of affecting the fairness of the competition!"
Nan Baicheng said solemnly: "I will help you solve the identity matter. In the name of supervision, let Ji Wujiu send you in. As for reputation..."
City Chief Nan Bai took a breath: "As long as you don't disappoint Master, what does a small reputation mean? Even if there are any consequences, I will bear them. Besides... you have to **** Let them find out?"
Speaking of this, Nan Baicheng almost roared.
The man in black was shocked, knowing that Nan Baicheng was risking his life, so he hurriedly bowed and replied: "Yes, I will do my best until I die!"
"I don't want you to die, I just want you to stop Wei Tianchong from being the first to enter the Nine Palaces Heart Ring!"
