The Spirit World

Chapter 712: Being a Hero

"Are you sure you can be number one?"

Shor became interested. He didn't know Jack's identity, he only knew that Lili Marlene knew him. Now that he heard the words out loud, he felt quite confused, and even more so, he had a strange feeling of being fearless like a newborn calf.

Well, actually they didn't know how strong Lin'er was, but with her magnificent spiritual power, it was reasonable to assume that she was very strong. If we must say that the principality emphasizes talent, it would be better to say that magic emphasizes talent. People who don't know magic may never learn any magic in their entire lives.

He and Freddy looked at each other and leaned back, naturally with some contempt in their hearts. The Lin they had just learned about was a genius, already at level 68 at a young age. Although she was only so good today, no matter whether she had the ability or not, the words had been put out, and that was what she should have.

They had never heard of another genius who ranked first in the impact swordsman group.

"Children are free to speak without restraint." Lili Marlene tried to smooth things over with the child selling souvenirs. She seemed to have noticed Chang Yufeng's unusual calmness, so she slowly stopped halfway through her speech.

"Do you know who the person who just came on stage is?" Freddy put his hand on Chang Yufeng's shoulder, smiled and chuckled: "It is obvious that this kid is not talking nonsense, at least that's what I think."

Although they will not participate in the Dragon Tournament, as far as this opponent is concerned, they will not suddenly say that they will be the first.

Because the level of the principality is determined by the level of the monsters that can be killed. The monsters themselves have no levels, but the more difficult the monsters are to deal with, the higher the level. If the girl named Lin can be advertised as level 68, then her strength should not be underestimated, and they would not say that they can easily defeat Lin.

"I know who she is. She wouldn't say anything nonsense." Chang Yufeng saw that Lilia couldn't eat the food and looked at him in confusion, wondering why he could eat it.

However, the food on this table consisted of various precious meats, which were basically unavailable to Chang Yufeng. Chang Yufeng ate them with great novelty and did not understand why Lilia was so confused.

All of Lilia's delicacies were prepared by a private chef, who only cooked the flavors she liked, so naturally they didn't taste right. Chang Yufeng put down his bowl and stopped eating.

He wiped his mouth with paper.

"But I can get first place in the Dragon Tournament, that's it. For me, that's not a difficult thing."

Chang Yufeng's call once again made Shor and Freddy stare at him. Their eyes were no longer polite as they would show to an ignorant child, but rather a look of disdain for Chang Yufeng, a arrogant child.

The two looked at each other and said nothing more, but motioned for Lili Marlene to move her ear closer. Lili Marlene rubbed her nose and moved her ear closer.

"Whose son is this little boy?"

Freddy asked, Lilimaren looked at Chang Yufeng who was staring at Lilia, and clearly sat up straight with her head held high.

"Jack, please introduce yourself to these two gentlemen... I don't need to introduce you." Lili Marlene didn't know much about Jack, so naturally she couldn't say it. But Freddy and Shor thought that Jack's big talk was really inappropriate, and she felt the same way. Therefore, she was not optimistic about Jack in this matter.

Chang Yufeng didn't know why Lilia suddenly stopped eating. He had taken care of Lilia before, so he suspected that Lilia was choked. He naturally patted Lilia's back, gently patting her once or twice, making Lilimaren think that Lilia was choked, so she also patted Lilia's back to make her feel less uncomfortable.

Lilia was gently stroked on the back, saying nothing, just looking at him. He was so special in her eyes that everything he did seemed so strange.

Chang Yufeng gently asked her if she was choking. She didn't know why, but just nodded gently. Then she felt that this was not good, and shook her head quickly, making Chang Yufeng dizzy.

Freddy and Shor saw his behavior as if he had been with Lilia for a long time, as if they were friends who had known each other for a long time, so they both drank some wine in silence.

This kind of relationship is really strange. The strange thing is that the little boy named Jack is too confident, or in other words, he gets along with strangers very naturally. He eats and drinks as usual, and cares about others like a little adult.

He seemed to be very gentle and elegant, as if he had received a very good education.

"My name is Jack Niemann, and I'm the eldest son of Rajel Niemann's family in the south of the city."

Chang Yufeng said it, but it was beyond their expectations, because Nieman is not the surname of any family here, big or small, that is to say, Jack Nieman does not belong to any related family.

To put it bluntly, he is just a child from an ordinary family.

Then what he said would be even less credible.

"Lorcan's daughter has a higher level of magic than our adults... If you are just bragging, then that is really wrong." Shaw straightened himself, pulled his suit, coughed, and drank the wine: "Children still need to be humble."

"Be humble. Yes, you should."

Lili Marlene also agreed, saying that Chang Yufeng was too confident, which was not a good thing.

"Hey... boys should be more confident..." Freddy looked at Chang Yufeng's face carefully. From his gestures, he could tell that his face was delicate enough and his small body was well-proportioned.

"Little Jack, you have the confidence to beat that little girl just now, so there must be a special method. In the end, it's still you who should deal with it, right? We can't worry about your class."

"Lin, the magic power she displayed is very strong, and may have reached more than sixty levels. No one in this Dragon Conference will be her opponent." Chang Yufeng looked at Freddy. Freddy sounded like a playboy, and so did his voice.

"If you don't have any chance of winning, you probably wouldn't say this so easily. To us, wanting to win the first place in the Dragon Conference is just a child's fight, but for people of your age, it is definitely not a joke." Freddy turned sideways, leaned back in his chair, he didn't mind anyone telling lies, so he didn't have any thoughts, but just spoke more softly.

"I have a chance of winning. I will definitely beat all my peers because my goal is to be number one in this world. Not only the principality, the empire, but even the entire spiritual world, I want to be number one. I want to be number one in the world." Chang Yufeng straightened his back and said this clearly.

"What do you want?" Shaw and Freddy looked at each other, as if they had some tinnitus.

"You heard me right. I want to be the best in the world."

"Hahahahahaha..." Freddy didn't find it strange. He didn't look at Lilimaren and Shor, but laughed out loud. Although he laughed, it was not very loud because the tables of their four major families were placed in relatively important positions and they couldn't laugh too loudly.

People from other families were drinking and talking about business, so they didn't pay much attention to the fact that there was one more person here.

"This is not called self-confidence, this is called ambition~" Lili Marlene shook her head. She didn't know why she laughed. It might be because what Jack said was too ambitious, or because she didn't know Jack well, or maybe she also began to think that Jack was very special.

In particular, she felt that he would definitely be able to achieve this goal. "If you can beat Lin, you will be the first in the Dragon Conference, I think it is not impossible." Xiao Er did not laugh at Chang Yufeng, but saw the sincerity in Chang Yufeng's eyes. A little boy sincerely said what he wanted to do, which made him see the shadow of his younger brother Hall.

Because Hall also said that he wanted to get the first place in the Dragon Conference. The reason he didn't come this time was because Lin K. Locke showed up halfway.

"That's right... If Jack can defeat Lin, he will be the first in the Dragon Tournament. It is not impossible for him to be the best in the world."

There is no need for them to ridicule a small child with a goal, but for others, that may not be the case.

"Oh? Who wants to be the best in the world?" Locke's voice came from the side. Locke was holding a glass of wine and standing behind Lilimaren, attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone looked at him, and he raised his glass. Freddy and Shor raised their glasses in response, and Lili Marlene looked at them quietly.

"Is the food okay?" Locke laughed.

"Not very appetizing." Freddy shook his head. "But it's still worth mentioning."

"That's good, that's good. I specifically told the chef to cook it well, otherwise it would have to be thrown into the river to feed the fish." Behind Locke, there was Lin'er. Lin'er stood quietly, as if she needed to follow Locke to toast.

"That's not necessary. Thank you for your concern." Lilimarlene also spoke up. She couldn't see Locke's face but turned her head to look. She saw Lin'er standing in front of her. Lin'er looked a little sad. She also stared at Chang Yufeng, but under this sadness, there was more calmness.

Chang Yufeng looked at Lin'er, and Lin'er also looked at Chang Yufeng. Both of them understood everything clearly in their eyes.

Chang Yufeng knew that Lin'er was forced, so he naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He just felt it was a pity. When this "good show" was mentioned, he thought it was a good show. The current situation could not be called his "good show", which was very sad.

Victoria did not make it clear because she had no stance. She did not care who won because she felt that such disputes were too normal. Justice and evil were not important to her because they were all for the sake of interests. The interests of the righteous were interests, and the interests of the evil were interests as well. They were just expressed in the form of disgust and likes. To her, it did not matter who won.

She is not from any camp, so there is nothing wrong with that, but for Chang Yufeng, he still hopes to get help.

Chang Yufeng had told Lin'er that Locke was not a good person, so as far as both of them were concerned, they knew what had happened. It was nothing more than a matter of coercion and being coerced.

It is extremely difficult for Chang Yufeng personally to defeat Loken. If Loken was really that easy to be defeated, he would have been defeated long ago, and it would not be his turn to do such a heroic thing.

He felt that he had no way to save anyone. There were many little boys who wanted to save the world, but because there were bad people in this world, there must be a strong good person to protect them.

But why are works like this made for children? Why do more and more adults feel less and less that the world needs a pure and kind person to save it, or in other words, they believe less and less that there is a pure and kind person in this world?

Or maybe they are just willing to believe that people need to be viewed dialectically?

Why is it that when talking about memory, some people always have to say this: people are selfish.

Is it because he is also selfish that he needs to start his speech by saying, "Everyone is selfish, so I am also justified in being selfish"? Isn't this kind of logic something that ordinary people can do?

Whoever you save doesn’t matter. There are too many people in this world who need saving. Not saving their lives, but saving their wallets.

There are too many people in this world whose wallets need saving. Most of them won’t need saving if you just give them money.

There is a very terrible disease in this world, and that is poverty. This disease is very deadly. No one wants to get it, and is even afraid of getting even a little bit of it.

If the people in Honghua District were given a handful of money, perhaps they would also oppose Locke, because they are in this line of work for the money. Apart from those who are truly profit-driven, how many people are troubled by poverty?

There are too many to save.

They don't really need someone to save them, they just need someone to give them wealth.

If they were given wealth, most people would not need to be saved, and it is not impossible that they would instead become oppressors.

The world does not need any heroes. What it needs are heroes who rob the rich to help the poor. That hero also needs to be poor. Otherwise, even if he robs the rich to help the poor, those he saves will mistakenly think that he is enriching himself.

Therefore, the children of the underworld always rob the rich to help the poor, and then go far away, instead of staying and settling down with everyone.

Because human nature, a topic that has been discussed for thousands of years, has no definitive conclusion...

People will still lose miserably.

So, he won't be everyone's hero.

Chang Yufeng is not a person who is born to be a hero. In front of him, everything he has needs to be re-examined.

That's what he said, but in front of Lin'er, he couldn't be a hero for others. He could only be a hero for Lin'er.

Although he didn't do it very well before... and he didn't do it well at all, and he didn't realize this problem...

Now, he is no longer a child.

He has things he wants to protect.

This was not due to his selfish motives.

But it was his obsession with Lin'er.
