The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 204 Path Dependency

The blackened and twisted Luo Bo is really not afraid of death.

Especially since there was a series of successful cases at the bottom, he felt that he had already made a lot of money and would not lose any money if he died at any time.

However, as time went by, he inevitably became greedy and wanted more.

To be more specific, when he achieved a series of successes, he realized that dying generously was actually a kind of willfulness. His life was far more valuable than dying vigorously.

As long as he lives, he can become a disguised Sword of Damocles, making some people sleepless at night and trembling with fear.

If he dies, those people can pop the champagne to celebrate, and then everything will continue as usual, or even get worse.

It was precisely because he understood this that he had a clear bias in exploring extraordinary abilities, and began to deepen his skills around how to hypnotize and brainwash others to control others, instead of building himself into a person who could brave the hail of bullets and enter and exit in a killing battle. Will.

The latest demolition incident of the Midtown Building is a work of transformation.

It lets the world know that he is not a lone wolf, but a group of like-minded people. It just needs to be added with the prefix of 'being'.

Most of these like-minded people are not innocent.

Even according to Rob's theory that "no snowflake is innocent in an avalanche", there are far less innocent people in this world than it seems.

It can only be said that his humanity has not yet faded away. Going against the vested interests, the powerful minority and their hawks and dogs among mankind is already his maximum limit. If even the people are pushed to the opposite side, he will become a complete anti-social. , anti-humanity, he will be unable to reconcile himself.

Deep down, he also needs recognition.

Therefore, we can only pull one faction and fight another faction.

Most people are accustomed to siding with the winner and the side that seems to have an easier time winning.

And because he is strong enough, he stands on the side with more people but the weaker side.

He felt that his butt was on this side, and this choice was consistent with his own moral values.

After FOX forcibly broadcast "Maniac Manifesto", a vigorous public opinion storm began, and the powerful people in the Lighthouse Country became worried as never before.

There has never been anyone in history whose personal force was as powerful as Robbo's and was so clearly beyond the scope of ordinary people. What's even more frightening is that such a lawless thug actually has more than one accomplice at the level of a fanatical martyr!

As the saying goes, people are not afraid of death, but why should they be afraid of death? The rulers of the Lighthouse Country instinctively realized that a ruthless and powerful enemy that would not compromise, cannot be bribed, and would not stop fighting was born...

However, just as Luo Bo was complacently trying to further screen out cannon fodder, brainwash and cause trouble, the nightmare copy of God Refining ended quietly. Just after Robo got into the water one day.

After returning his consciousness to his original form and watching this divine refining from a third-person perspective, Luo Bo understood very well why the nightmare refining would terminate the copy at this time.

The core purpose is still the same: the purpose of nightmare refining is to temper the will, strengthen the consciousness and personality, and enhance the spiritual realm, not to make him feel bad.

To be more specific, it can be understood as: path dependence acquisition.

Path dependence, to put it bluntly, is the formation of a habit.

For example, when someone solves a problem, it’s done! Encountered another problem, acted recklessly again, and it happened again! Over and over again, we have developed the habit of dealing with problems and talking about them after doing them.

This is a very typical path dependency.

There are pros and cons to path dependence. The pros and cons are undoubtedly meaningful and valuable in cultivating good personal habits, such as enduring hardship and standing hard work, and being optimistic and positive.

As for the disadvantages, as the saying goes, success is a failure, and failure is a failure. If you rely too much on the old path, cannot get out of the comfort zone of your thinking, and are unwilling to learn and make progress, you may suffer losses due to path dependence, or even be doomed.

The path dependency provided by Nightmare Refining God for Robbo.

The first copy can be understood as the ultimate in perceptual emotions.

From the perspective of an onlooker, what Robbo experienced in the first copy did not seem to be too exciting. But some people are indifferent when their mother dies, and they cry into tears when their cat dies. The joys and sorrows of each person are different. In the first dungeon, Luo Bo was indeed self-motivated and passionate.

The first high point is when you awaken your soul. The second high point was when he risked his life to kill the witch.

Reaching the peak and consolidating the peak are things that Luo Bo has never reached before.

After all, in the real world, Luo Bo had the most precious fish basin close to him after time travel, and he was not forced to use any means, twisting and darkening, or breaking through the limits.

In short, the path that the first copy brought to Luo Bo was the Burning Soul of Extreme Emotions.

The path brought by the second copy is one of perceptual thinking, step by step Qinglian, and developing the power of the soul.

In the real world, Luo Bo often secretly complains that he was born under the red flag and grew up in peace. He has been materialistic and speculative throughout his life for decades. He wants to adapt to the perceptual thinking mode of extraordinary professionals. It is really difficult to change his nature and it is too difficult for himself. .

No, an interchangeable thinking mode has emerged.

In the second nightmare copy, he could only tap into the power of his soul as much as possible, racking his brains to obtain it, while increasing his confidence and motivation through practical verification.

In this way, the road to spiritual development is revealed step by step.

The copy has been monitoring his relative growth rate, and found that he had withdrawn from rapid growth and that his thinking mode had entered a stable period, and immediately terminated the trial.

After all, becoming a dark and twisted personality who relies on superb hypnotic brainwashing techniques to confuse and control mortals, and then carries out terrorist actions, is like the protagonist of "Death Note", who will go further and further down the old silver path of calculation and killing. The Nightmare God Refiner does not deliberately produce 'poisonous fruit'.

After some deliberation, Luo Bo chose to swallow the copy crystal - the memory fruit.

Soon after, he had the ability and habit to develop his own inner universe, and his self-confidence was greatly enhanced.

In addition, the anger has been eliminated in a venting manner.

Looking at the two sides of things, the hostility accumulated in previous lives is precisely the material for the improvement of spiritual realm.

To put it more bluntly, whether it is the pleasure of revenge, the satisfaction of understanding one's thoughts, or the satisfaction of having regrets repaid, before they are properly resolved, they are all part of the hostility. They accumulate in people's hearts and gradually become unstable. Emotional catalysts, and even inner demons in Eastern metaphysics legends.

But conversely, under certain conditions, it can also become a motivation for people to make progress and a resource for improving their mood. The key lies in how to activate and transform it.

With the ultimate emotional release of the first copy and the indulgent success of the second copy, the negative accumulation in the previous life has been basically exhausted, and the remaining leftovers have been lost and cannot be obtained, and are no longer enough. Support the consumption of the next copy.

Of course, it is not impossible to force it open. Anyway, it is to extract the deeper emotional elements in the memory information. There are no negative ones, but there are also positive ones.

But if you do that, you are undoubtedly taking the initiative to commit evil.

This is not what Luo Bo pursues. At least he will not actively sacrifice the positive emotions in human nature for the sake of improving his mood.

More than half a month after the second nightmare, Luo Bo's fishing for treasures was still just particles of laws of the heavens one after another.

It felt to him as if the fire had already started, and refractory bricks were added piece by piece to build a qualified furnace. The composition of his divine fire furnace is also really special. People basically accumulate divinity first, and then ignite it when the conditions are right.

When it is lit, it is like putting kindling into the furnace, and a large amount of firewood has been prepared in the furnace.

These firewood are naturally the power of faith, and the light and heat they produce are equivalent to divine power. If faith and firewood continue, divine power will continue to be produced.

His gameplay is more like that of a primitive god. He first pursues an adaptive, self-closing combustion state, just like smoldering charcoal covered with fire ashes. He burns it first. He does not pursue scale, but pursues stability and longevity. , advance, it can become a raging fire, retreat, it can be maintained with a small amount of fuel.

Such pursuits are extremely technically difficult to achieve in today's era. With the support of Diao Bao, he gradually built a structure similar to a hand stove, achieving the effect of possessing divinity and igniting the divine fire, but in a smoldering state.

In his view, this hand stove made of lawful particles can be called a spiritual version of a nuclear fusion restraint envelope. It uses force against force and energy against energy. It is mysterious and magnificent.

But it is not stable enough now, so the instinctive thirst of his soul is like a traveler walking in the desert who is short of water, completely in a state of not having enough to drink.

The mental power formed by this appeal affects the fish basin, causing it to continuously produce law particles.

However, a new problem inevitably arises, that is, the consumption of fishing areas.

Past experience has proven that the more highly random the fishing area, the lower the consumption of resources, especially the red treasure energy, and a fishing area can be used for a long time.

On the contrary, it quickly becomes resource-poor.

Later, further observation and analysis revealed that the fishing treasures were not dropped from these treasure fishing areas, but from the heavens. The unreachable treasure fishing areas were, to use an inappropriate metaphor, like the nest-making operation before fishing.

As the saying goes, if you want fish to land, you have to trade for food. To put it simply, nesting is to create a small environment with abundant food to attract fish to eat.

The influence of strong appeals can be understood as an operation to catch all the benefits, gimmick hype, premature investment of the most attractive parts, creating short-term prosperity, and the remaining dregs will be difficult to attract the already picky people. , the treasure fish whose appetite has been spoiled again.

So inevitably, empty shots appeared.

Finally, Luo Bo had some foresight. When he went south from the Northland, he passed through some environments that looked good. He walked a few more steps and created usable fishing areas.

This is actually due to the fact that his current range of perception is far greater than before. The time it takes to simply explore a qualified fishing area is only one-fifth of what it was originally.

If not, he might not have been able to circle enough backup fishing areas as he was focused on going south and getting out of the circle of right and wrong.

There are a lot of traps, but they are just unintentional ones. They can't stand the wild rush and make nothing, so it is inevitable that they need to travel around the world again and go to trap fishing areas.

However, building the 'Spiritual Soul Furnace' is not only a matter of the soul, but also requires the cooperation of the body.

To put it simply, it is not suitable for outdoor sports. It is best to retreat into meditation as a Taoist priest and do your best to maintain the operation of "building a stove" to avoid traveling.

So Luo Bo naturally thought of traveling separately.

Gods can create clones, walk around the world, spread beliefs, or perform certain tasks.

And since Luo Bo has already ignited the divine fire, in terms of special abilities, he is almost the same as a god with weak divine power.

The main difference is the priesthood.

The priesthood is not only exclusive extraordinary authority, but also recognition of the laws of heaven.

Although Luo Bo is not as formal as a real god, he is still the Son of Nature.

Soul + Santoku body ≈ quasi-god.

And didn’t he just gain the ability to explore the spiritual universe on his own?

This path dependence can be regarded as the extraordinary practice method he dreams of.

Starting from this perspective, combined with the soul division operation in 'Meditation Universe' + 'Nightmare God Refining', he has technically solved the most critical step in creating clones of gods.

As for the body, the goblins of the Conetus tribe captured a group of human thieves a few days ago.

This group of thieves attempted to steal, not to steal, but to recapture a sacred object.

This sacred object was obtained by the Cone Tooth Tribe when they went out to rob. It is not clear whether they robbed a caravan or attacked a human village.

After all, the sacred object was not eye-catching when it was sealed. If it weren't for the goblin scavenger's habit of looking at everything, this sacred object would probably have been missed by them.

When this group of human thieves took back the mirror artifact, it was being hung on the chest of a small goblin leader as a breastplate.

Originally, the process of recapturing them went smoothly, but some of the human thieves got greedy and stole the goblins' shining treasures. As a result, several of them were caught.

Since humans rarely come to the goblin den to pickpocket, the chief of the Conetooth tribe wants to know the true purpose of their theft. So the shaman asked the totem god for help.

The Totem God remembered the human trafficking agreement with Luo Bo - if there are human beings who meet the requirements, they can exchange the wish fruit from Luo Bo.

The totem god was also cunning. He used the soul-searching technique to defeat the thief, and then traded it with Luo Bo for fruit.

Needless to say, there is actually one that meets the requirements.

So after some wrangling, Luo Bo finally exchanged a wish fruit for four lunatics.

The cost of the wish fruit is not high for Luo Bo, but he doesn't want to spoil the totem god, and he knows he can't.

Afterwards, the souls were transcended and the three bodies were cremated. The remaining ones were stuffed into the third soul-transforming coffin of the new species and kept there.

Now, this body has become the clone's first tool.

This is also a helpless move. In theory, the manufacturing cost of a clone of a god is very high, and its performance is naturally excellent. Once it is destroyed, it will take 1-2 years for the weak god to create another one.

But now Luo Bo doesn't have the skills or financial resources to create his own body at all, so he can only play a game of dividing the soul and seizing the body.

It is not that he has not thought about activating the body of the Night Purifier again, but considering that the Night Purifier has been possessed by Nessus' exclusive brand, it is easy to be locked in position once it appears in the world, so it is better to let it continue to stand up in the Temple of Endenir.

Another reason for using a new body is that the path dependence obtained from the second copy of Nightmare God Refining gave him the ability and experience to transform the body with mental power.

When he is in the dungeon, he can use his mental power to interfere with the body and cause it to undergo extraordinary changes. Then in the real world, he will only do better.

Although this world is dark, it does not lack extraordinary power. The extraordinary factors are everywhere. Combined with the power of the soul, the effect is definitely 1+1>2.
