The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 372: No one can do everything
Latest website: Annan's voice is childish and light, reminiscent of wind chimes made of ice.
But Fufu just felt a gust of cold wind soaking into his body. The blood on his blood-soaked red robe gradually dried up.
"...No one can do everything."
Kufo took a deep breath.
It wasn't until today that he truly realized and faced up to the enemy Annan Coldong.
...He thought he had paid enough attention to it.
Fufu even regarded Annan as a "god destined for the future", a being of the same level as himself, an eagle that has not yet fully fledged.
But it was not until today that Fufu realized... He had tried his best to overestimate Annan, but he still underestimated him.
He really felt strong pressure from Annan today - it was not just the level of "encountering difficulties", but a sense of fear that was close to despair.
Hundreds of years have passed.
Fu Fu never thought... that he would still feel fear even after becoming a god.
It was just like the pressure he felt when he had a gambling battle with King Gupta, known as the "White Robe King" when he was seven years old.
It seems that every card, every piece, and every word you play will be guessed by the opponent. The middle-aged brown-skinned man wearing a white robe and a big beard was as terrifying as a **** in front of the seven-year-old Fu Fu.
Afraid. fear. despair.
I will never win——
That was the first time Fufu, who was particularly good at games, realized this clearly.
Under intense fear, he cheated for the first time in his life. But his hand was shaking so obviously that it didn't even have any effect and was pulled out directly.
And when he was pressed on the table by the guards, and in extreme fear, he was stabbed with a mark that belonged to the slave.
Fufu, who was only seven years old, heard the deep voice of the white-robed king.
“Not all players will fail, just as not all people born will perish. But even so, those who always win are as rare as those who live forever... because no one can do everything.
"You are very smart, but that's all. You cannot become a victor simply by being smart...Wisdom without courage is like a wingless bird or a hypothermic fire."
The young Fufu couldn't understand those words at all.
Even until now, Fu Fu has not fully understood.
But because of pain, fear and despair, he remembered every word clearly. Fu Fu did not forget these words until King White Robe was murdered by him; even though he personally murdered King White Robe and massacred his heirs, Fu Fu still respected King White Robe and regarded him as his idol.
——It is precisely because of the white-robed king's guidance in the past that he can become a **** now.
Fufu repeated the words of the old white-robed king word for word: "You cannot become a victor only by relying on wisdom. Even if you win today, you will lose one day; even if I lose once, I will never win." One day we will win."
But Annan heard what he said.
But he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth: "Of course I know. If you gamble often, you will often lose. If you gamble less, you will lose less. There is no one who always wins."
The next moment, Fufu's pupils suddenly tightened.
Because by coincidence, Annan casually said similar words to the former white-robed king, and even added an explanation:
"The Girl with the Cup once said, 'Not everyone who is born will perish'. What this means is that the power of the 'cup' can extend the life of flesh and blood. But on the other hand, it means that 'there are no miracles' Mortals will eventually die if they participate'.
"This matter can also be applied to gambling... Indeed, not all players have a day of failure. 'As long as it's good, it's over'. But as long as you walk on this path, you will eventually fail. That day."
The eyes that Annan looked at Fu Fu were no longer filled with anger.
Because what should be vented has been vented, the harsh words that should be said have been said, and the price that should be collected has been collected.
Then Fu Fu is not worthy of Annan continuing to be angry for him.
The way Annan looked at Fufu was as calm as if he were looking at an insect, and as interested as if he were looking at some kind of "treasure".
——Just like the way the white-robed king looked at Fufu in the past.
Fufu couldn't help but start to tremble.
Because of fear. Or maybe it's because of anger. Even because of the sudden realization of the incomprehensible words in the past...
“I don’t think I am a very smart person at all. Because so-called ‘friends’ and ‘partners’ are exactly what mediocre people need... I am just an ordinary person.
"I also need the support of others and the help of friends. Am I smart? I think so, but I will not follow the path of being a single man just because I am smart enough...
“Because wisdom, from the very beginning, is not a sword used to win—but an eye used to raise one’s horizons.”
Annan said so.
He ignored the trembling Fufu and turned back to look at the basement door casually: "You regard cleverness as wisdom and wisdom as strength, but you don't look directly at the fear seen by wisdom. The courage of things is to regard everything in the world as a 'bet' with a winner and a loser, as a game.
"——But I don’t know that if you gamble for a long time, you will lose."
In the confrontation of wisdom, Annan easily understood Fu Fu's personality.
God is not something lofty and untouchable. Since they have personalities, they naturally have personality flaws... And gods mostly seek sublimation and have strong desires, so their flaws are even more obvious.
Annan can read Kaifni's mind and guess her every move.
Of course I can also understand Fufu.
Fu Fu’s mentality is like that of an unscrupulous player.
But the player is not from this world.
No matter how unscrupulous they are, they always know in their hearts that "this is false" and will not transfer their actions in the game to reality intact.
Fufu’s personality went wrong in this link.
The thing he is best at is "gambling" and nothing else.
So it's like he's "cheating" in the game.
Murder others, set traps, apply poison, murder enemies before fighting, and kill those you don't like without restraint. Many bottomless conspiracy methods are adopted, all just for the sake of victory.
The problem is, this isn't a game.
This is a real world, and it is the world where Fu Fu was born.
"I use wisdom as my wings, hovering in the sky. But you... are as humble as an ant."
Annan said leisurely: "Get ready to start the third game... Although it is no longer needed. Because I have already guessed how you induced Bella at that time. I also know what exactly you did in the third game. Hidden something..."
Annan's voice has not yet finished.
"Bella" pushed open the basement door.
"I'm sorry I'm late——"
She made a powerful voice that attracted everyone's attention.
But others quickly turned their attention to Annan.
At this moment, Annan turned around and looked down at Fu Fu, who was still trembling.
It was obviously the youngest son looking at the powerful and invincible god, but Annan's eyes were like the **** looking down at the fool.
"——Let me destroy your sanity and defeat your confidence."
Annan said slowly: "The third game will be played here. I want you to see clearly - even Salvatore, I can let him defeat you easily. Do you believe it?"
"...If you lose this game, what will happen?"
It's like losing your eyes.
Fufu asked in a hoarse voice: "Do you want to raise the bet?"
"Are you sure?"
Annan laughed out loud and asked: "You still dare to raise your bet in front of me?"
As Annan stared at him, Fu Fu fell silent.
"...Then so be it. ~IndoMTL.com~ He responded in a low voice.
On the other hand, "Bella" on the side was a little confused.
"Hey? Is it okay to say it directly? Has the situation developed to this extent?"
He looked at the **** Fufu and made a confused sound: "Huh? This person looks like he is about to die..."
Hearing Salvatore's words, Fu Fu's expression suddenly turned gloomy.
"You and I, let's start the third game."
Fufu took a deep breath and straightened up.
His eyes were cold and emotionless: "In this game, I won't bet on anything.
"I just want to beat you.
"Prove that... no one can do everything."
