Chapter 3 Chapter Two

So I immediately gave him a wolf stare.Qi Bai didn't dare to make eye contact with me at first, and then he begged with a look of anxiety and worry in his eyes, which made me know that the matter was definitely more serious than I imagined. But under the circumstances at the time, I really couldn't ask him for details.And I couldn't refuse his request either—not only are we old friends, but I haven't seen him look like this since we got to know each other, so it must be something serious. Then I just had to do as he told me. At this time, I was only a few steps away from Tianjiatu King, and Tianjiatu King also saw me walking towards him. Given his status, he stood up naturally.

Originally, his actions were ordinary social manners, but when it happened to him, it was not easy. He just stood up, and there were several people beside him, who were standing upright at first, and immediately bowed to him . I heard Qi Bai beside me take a breath, obviously he saw that the earth king respected me very much, which meant that he had hope for the earth king's request. The king of earth came forward to greet me, first extended his hand to me, and we shook hands warmly──I am very self-aware, knowing that the other party's attitude is purely for the sake of obtaining the life quota, and has nothing to do with me.

I don't know what Qi Bai wants to discuss with the king of earth, but I think it must not be as important as the life quota requested by the king of earth, so I think my introduction will definitely get the attention of the king of earth. I also knew that King Tu was highly educated in a famous Western institution and had a considerable degree of Western style, so I cut straight to the point, stretched out my hand and pulled Qi Bai over, and said to King Tu: "This is Mr. Qi Bai, he is A strange man—" Then it took me less than a minute to introduce Qi Bai's great achievements to the King of Earth, and then said: "He has something to discuss with you, you can talk about it first."

The earth king looked a little disappointed—he obviously wanted to talk to me, but my words clearly meant that I would talk to him after he and Qi Bai had finished discussing, so he reluctantly nodded and looked at Qi Bai . Qi Bai's reaction was far beyond my expectation - he made a very respectful gift to the King of Earth.This guy is usually very proud. His behavior makes me sure that he must have something to ask for from the earth king, and what he wants must be very difficult! Seeing Tu Wang's reaction, Qi Bai was very polite and leaned over to help him up.At this time, Tycoon, Tao Qiquan and two other people came to my side, and honestly pulled me away.And all of a sudden there were people around me, so I couldn't know what Tu Wang and Qi Bai had discussed, and I didn't know what their situation was like.

Wait until I finish announcing to everyone, there are two tall.The big man in strange clothes lined up in front of the crowd, and immediately bowed to me and knelt down on the ground. I was greatly astonished, and took a step back, only to see Liu Xu accompanied by an elderly man, who was also dressed strangely, passed the two big men, and came forward.The old man bowed deeply to me, with an extremely respectful attitude, and said: "Our king would like to say a few words to your Excellency, please accept your request." In this conference, the rich and powerful gathered in the world, and there were at least ten "kings" alone, the current ones and those who had already abdicated.

For a while, I didn't know which country's monarch the old man was talking about.At this moment, Liu Xu whispered to me, "It's Tianjiatu King—he insisted on meeting you alone." I frowned, and originally wanted to say that if it was for the life quota, then there is no need, because I have nothing to add. But I changed my mind because I couldn’t get out of my life—it’s definitely not because I was following others, because Tianjia Tuwang was so rich, but because I never saw Qi Bai again. I don’t know what Qi Bai and Tuwang discussed. What was the result.I want to ask the earth king to find out what happened.

At that time, all I thought was that Qi Bai might need my help, and I was embarrassed to ask. As a good friend, I should take the initiative to understand his needs, and I didn't think of anything else. Things developed from this meeting later, and many things happened, which of course were not expected at that time. But then I changed my mind, nodded, and said to Liu Xu: "Okay, I can borrow your study." When the old man heard this, he was so overjoyed that he danced and danced.Liu Xu smiled and said, "Great, he is waiting in my study." She summoned a little robot to lead the way, and the old man and two big men followed respectfully.After going up a very curved staircase, at the end of the corridor, there are two large mahogany doors with many reliefs, which look extremely quaint.

The little robot stopped outside the door and said at the same time: "Here we are, please come in." I looked at the old man, and the old man shook his head immediately: "Your Majesty and Your Excellency will meet alone, and we will wait outside." I thought about it quickly, and I couldn't think of any confidential matters that could be discussed between me and Tianjia Tuwang. I judged that Tuwang was so nervous, coming and going, and it was not because of the life quota! So I didn't take it seriously, I didn't even knock on the door, I just pushed the door and walked in.

The study room was huge, and the light was dim, so that I couldn't see where the earth king was for a while.After I collected myself, I heard Tu Wang's voice coming from the right: "Thank you for coming to see us──Please close the door." In his position, he was extremely polite to me.I closed the door and saw him sitting on a chair, so I walked over to him. I have a strong feeling that the closer I get to him, the more I feel his unhappiness.His whole body exudes an aura of unhappiness, although it is invisible and intangible, but it is easy to feel. It's unforgivable to be unhappy in a position like his!

So I just cut to the chase and said, "You look very unhappy!" The Earth King didn't sigh, but was silent for a while, and then said: "Your sense is very keen—no one else can see it." I refrained from laughing--because I felt so pitiful for him.I sat down next to him and told him sincerely: "It's not that others can't see it, but they didn't tell you!" He reached out and touched his face a few times, as if he was very tired. I don't know what's on his mind—if a person achieves his status, there are still difficulties that cannot be solved, and the only possibility is life and death.But he is in his prime, and his body is very healthy. If he starts to worry about death now, it is really "self-inflicted, and he cannot live".

So I didn't sympathize, just looked at him coldly.After a while, he didn't speak.Feeling impatient, I urged him: "Please speak up if you have something to say!" His eyes flickered, but he remained silent. I yawned loudly: "If you want to get the transfer of life quota, I have made it very clear just now, and there is really nothing you can do." He nodded slightly, accepting my words. I spread my hands and said that since this is the case, there is no need for our conversation to continue. At this moment, he suddenly said a word: "I am fifty years old this year!" I said, "There is no doubt—the whole world knows." It is not an exaggeration for me to say this—not long ago, on his fiftieth birthday, he had a grand banquet for relatives and friends in his great palace, surrounded by crowns and crowns.It was the most sensational lace news at that time. He was very moved by my words, and just repeated in a murmur: "I am fifty years old this year!" I was angry and funny—fifty years old, that is the prime of life for a person, but he is already so afraid of the coming of death, this situation cannot be said to be normal anyway. So I said sarcastically, "I feel like you're talking to me, it doesn't work—you should go to a psychiatrist!" He was not slow to react, and his face suddenly became angry. I said again: "You want to buy a life quota, but I can't do anything—really, there's nothing I can do!" His scowl was even worse, and he sneered: "Your life quota theory is not worth mentioning at all—it doesn't make sense at all logically, it's just your delusion, and you can't even justify yourself!" I thought with all my heart that he was talking to me for the life quota, but unexpectedly he said these words suddenly, which of course made me very surprised. I waved my hand and declared: "I didn't come up with the theory about life quota. It came from Leman Hospital. You know what Leman Hospital is like!" King Tianjiatu still sneered: "If it doesn't work, it doesn't work, no matter where it comes from, it still doesn't work!" His series of "unreasonable" words made me a little angry, and I didn't ask him why he came to the castle in person since he thought it was unreasonable. I just said coldly: "I want to ask for advice." He waved his hand: "The theoretical basis of the so-called life quota is to assume that everything about life has already been set. According to this principle, whether a person has a quota to accept other people's life quota has already been set-if a person There is no quota for accepting other people's life quotas at all, even if the transfer of life quotas becomes a fact, it is useless to him at all. And whether a person has a quota for accepting other people's life quotas is impossible to know for sure. Therefore, life quotas In the end, it’s just a vain delusion!" It was hard to understand what he said. Seeing my doubtful expression, he immediately repeated it word by word, and he spoke it fluently. It can be seen that he had thought carefully about what he said. . I thought about his words carefully, and then said: "You are right—so if a person has the quota to accept other people's life quota, the transfer of life quota can finally become a reality." He asked sharply, "How do you know this?" I shook my head: "I don't know, I'm researching, so I can't provide any help, please forgive me." Since his status is very special after all, I have tried my best to be polite to him.With a bitter expression, he shook his head and said, "You're mistaken, I don't believe that the transfer of life quota will become a reality!" I was baffled: "Then you sent a representative to come last time, and this time you sent your own representative, why?" He took a breath and looked directly at me: "I need your help with something." I was even more surprised: "As the king of a country and a world-renowned rich man, is there anything that you can't do that requires you to ask someone in person?" He was still looking at me, his eyes full of expectation, but when he told me the reason, I couldn't help laughing out loud. He said: "I need someone who is extremely brave and extremely resourceful to help me, and you are such a person." I smiled and waved my hand and said: "You are completely wrong! I am not brave at all, and I am stupid as hell. You don't understand me. It is a misunderstanding." He shook his head: "I knew it was not easy to beg you, but you don't have to refuse outright. Can you listen to me and explain what I need your help for?" I have a weakness - too much curiosity.Under such circumstances, it is really impossible to resist the temptation of curiosity. So I nodded immediately: "Yes, please." The words he said at the beginning made my head smoke, and I almost couldn't help giving him a punch.He even repeated: "I am fifty years old this year!" Although I didn't take any action, my face was of course extremely ugly.He smiled bitterly: "You obviously don't know much about the history of our country." I admit: "Yes, I don't know anything - I don't know what your country has contributed to human civilization, science and technology, but I know that your country has made a lot of achievements in extravagance and extravagance!" As soon as my words came out of my mouth, he suddenly stood up and strode towards the door.Looks like he's ready to walk away. When I said such obvious contempt for him and his country, I already expected him to react violently, so I was not surprised by his actions, but just sneered a few times. At this time, I thought that he would never look back, and from then on, it was impossible to see him again.Because his country is not worth mentioning in the history of human evolution, but he is the king of a country after all, and he is used to flattery, so he has never been ridiculed like this before. However, unexpectedly, he rushed to the door and stopped.He stopped for a full minute, and from his back, one could see that his body was shaking slightly, which showed that he was really extremely angry. But after he stopped for a minute, he turned around slowly, his face was still ashen, but it could be seen that he was trying his best to restrain his anger. I admire him for being able to control his emotions so much. So I didn't say anything further, and after a while, he let out a long breath, walked back, and said seriously in front of me: "You can insult me, but you can't insult my country!" I took a breath and replied very seriously: "I don't feel that I have insulted your country. If I didn't understand what I said and gave you this feeling, I can apologize to your country!" This clearly means that if I have insulted him, I will not apologize. He didn't get angry any further, but just said coldly: "It's not the behavior of a gentleman to have such an attitude towards the person I want." I spread my hands: "That's because Your Excellency has never asked for help. There is a saying: It is easy to go up the mountain to fight tigers, but it is difficult to ask for help. I think you have never heard of it." He was silent for a while before he said, "Are you willing to listen to me tell you the details?" I said: "Yes. But please don't repeat your age and the history of your country. I have no interest in these two points." The Earth King resented: "But the matter must start from these two points!" I sighed and waved my hand, indicating that I would no longer insist. Tu Wang took a few deep breaths before speaking again, and when he opened his mouth, he still said the same sentence: "I am fifty years old this year." This time I didn't hit him again, and let him go on. He paused: "Every generation of king, when he turns fifty, within half a year after his birthday, he has to do one thing to prove that he is a king suitable to reign. If he If it cannot be proved, the royal family has the right to abolish his throne." These words made me feel the seriousness of the matter to him—although no matter who becomes the king of this country, it has no influence on the whole world, but to him, it is the top priority. If he is dethroned, he doesn't know what's left. He is willing to beg me in such a low voice, of course there is a reason! It is also conceivable that it must be very difficult for the fifty-year-old king to do it. At least he must be brave and wise to do it. Judging from the fact that there is such a tradition, I am in awe of this nation—this is an excellent tradition, a system of Qiran retreat without democracy.When a person gets old, he tends to become fatuous, and if he acts outrageously, it will be a catastrophe for the country and the nation. Asking the ruler to accept a severe test at the age of fifty is of course a good way to weed out the rotten old man. Don't look at this nation in many ways.It is not among the advanced civilizations, but this tradition is excellent—if a country with thousands of years of culture also has such a tradition, and can weed out the rotten old people, how many disasters can be avoided! So I gave a heartfelt applause: "Good!" The earth king seemed to know why I applauded. He smiled wryly, paused for a while, and then said: "In history, there are three kings who have accepted this traditional test." I feel very strange: "The history of your country should not be so short." The Earth King nodded: "Yes—the other kings chose to give up the throne when it was time to accept the test." I laughed and said, "This is tantamount to forced retirement—how are you going to choose?" When I asked this, my look and tone were full of sarcasm, because I saw that he wanted neither to be tested nor to abdicate. The King of Earth saw through my thoughts, and he pointed at me: "You are wrong, I choose to accept the test!" What he said was quite unexpected to me—and I didn't understand, since he had made such a decision, why did he come to me? I raise my eyebrows, shrug my shoulders, spread my hands, and ask questions with my body language. The earth king was silent for a moment, before saying: "In history, three kings chose to accept the test..." I said, "You just said that." The earth king was silent for a while, and then he paused and said: "None of these three kings came back—they haven't come back since then!" I was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant by that. Before I asked the question, the earth king had already explained: "This test is to go to a place to get something back. They—the three kings, once they left, they never came back." I still had no superficial reaction, but I was thinking in my heart: This situation is very common among many barbaric peoples. Wen Baoyu was once asked by the Miao people in Miaojiang to "walk the ladder" to show that he is a warrior. This so-called test, in most cases, has unimaginable plots. In more cases, the process of the test is not capable of human beings at all, but depends on the help of "God's will". The situation is very ridiculous and belongs to the barbaric One of national ignorance. When I thought of this, I couldn't help but said, "It seems that the god you worship doesn't bless those three kings." The earth king's face was gloomy, and he didn't make a sound. I thought to myself that it's better not to make jokes about the gods believed by others, so I turned around and said: "That is to say, in the history of your country, there has never been a king who can pass the traditional test." .” He nodded: "Yes—" After saying a word, he suddenly became excited and raised his voice: "So, if I can pass the test, I will become the first successful king in history, and my people's support for me will also be unprecedented." In a flash of inspiration, I suddenly thought of something, and blurted out: "Is your throne in crisis now?" The Earth King was shocked at first, and then smiled wryly: "It's obvious——If I give up the test, I will definitely give up the throne. There are many people who covet the throne, so there must be a crisis." I took a breath: "What if you accept the test and never come back?" The earth king said: "I have twenty-six days, counting from the beginning of my trial to the last day, if I haven't appeared yet, the royal family will support a new king within three days." I nodded to show that I understood his situation──At this time, my expression was also very serious.I thought for a while, and then said: "Because there is no successful example before, the battle for Wang Wei will start on the first day you leave!" The earth king looked at me with a strange look, and then sighed: "You are too optimistic—the competition for the earth position has already started ten years ago!" As soon as Shang Wang’s words came out of my mouth, I let out an “ah” and at the same time reached out and hit myself on the head──I’m really too slow!The position of Earth King is a big piece of fat, and those who want to snatch this position have already started their activities.And according to the examples throughout the ages, this kind of activity must be a collection of despicable and indecent, which is the inevitable law of human beings' struggle for power and position. It can be seen from this that the status of King Tianjiatu is very insecure. If he cannot pass the traditional test, he must step down. Although after he steps down, his life will still be many times better than that of ordinary people, but after he has been in power for a long time and suddenly falls down, it is like going from heaven to hell. I don't think he can adapt. So for him, this crisis is tantamount to life and death. This is probably also the reason why he has no interest in buying life quotas──The life and death crisis he faces cannot be solved by increasing life quotas! If this is the case, then why did he come to me? Thinking of this, I already knew it, so before he said anything, I shook my head. The earth king's expression was extremely frustrated, he struggled and said: "Don't shake your head first, can you listen to me before expressing your opinion?" I spread my hands: "You like to waste time, I can accompany you-but the result is the same." The earth king was angry and helpless.After a while he said: "Tradition stipulates that to pass this test, the reigning king can take it with a companion." Since I already expected what he was thinking, I didn't react at all to his words, not even blinking my eyes. Sure enough, he swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and said with great difficulty: "I have studied the people who are qualified to work with me in the whole world, and I think you are the most suitable, so I want to ask you to be my assistant..." Before he finished speaking, I couldn't stop shaking my head. He paused for a moment and raised his voice: "If you agree, what conditions do you want? Just say it. As long as I can do it, there is no problem." I originally wanted to joke with him, saying that my condition was that he let me sit on the throne of the earth king.But I saw that his expression was extremely anxious, with sweat dripping from his forehead, he was very pitiful.At this time, if you play this kind of joke with him again, I'm afraid he will have a nervous breakdown! So I refrained from saying anything, but told him honestly: "No matter what conditions you can offer, I will not do such boring things with you──For me, in fact, for the whole world , whoever will be the leader of the tribe is the same!" The earth king's face turned red, and he said sharply, "We are a country, not a tribe!" I said coldly, "What is the population of your country?" The earth king responded, "Three hundred thousand! It doesn't matter how many people there are—15,000 people is still a country!" Having said that, I had already stood up, and the earth king suddenly stood up, the atmosphere was stiff, and I walked towards the door, ready to ignore him and leave on my own. Earth King shouted behind me: "Wait a minute, you don't want to know the specific situation?" I didn't even bother to shake my head, I opened the door and walked out. The earth king called again: "If I agree to your friend's request, can you consider my request?" For a moment, I couldn't figure out what he meant by that, so I kept walking.After taking two steps, it suddenly occurred to him that the "my friend" he mentioned was Qi Bai.Qi Bai once asked him for something, but he seemed to have rejected him, so he proposed it now as an exchange. I don't know what Qi Bai asked him to do──In fact, Qi Bai appeared in the world again, which was already quite unexpected. Something very incredible happened to this strange person. Due to his abnormal experience, he He went to another space at all, where he enjoyed his extraordinary love.
