Of course, he was given a cold look without any hesitation, and he didn't even get to talk to me.
This was of course the expected result. The other person's face was so cold, it was obvious that he didn't want to talk to him, but because of this coldness, Li Ming couldn't help but want to tease her.
Of course, Dawn used to not be the type to take the initiative to strike up a conversation, but after his previous transformations, especially the last time he transformed into a female, the pleasure he felt really scared him. He felt that he had to maintain his interest in other beauties and be able to get hard, otherwise, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get hard that day, no, he wouldn't be able to get hard at all.
Suddenly, Liming found that Yana turned around and gave him a cold look, as if telling him that there was already a drag like him, so what was going on with so many more?
Li Ming was helpless too. Well, it was the first time he met her after all, and he went up to her and started chatting her up without any preparation. His approach was somewhat unskillful, which was indeed likely to make people dislike him.
None of the eight people responded. The three people that Verna Vincent had chosen herself looked confident. As for the other five, except for one A-level person who was a little arrogant, the rest lowered their heads and didn't say anything.
People who work around the boss, below A-level, are either chosen by the boss himself, or basically have connections. This is an unwritten rule within the association, and letting A-level heroes do miscellaneous chores is just a waste of upper-level combat power. For this reason, letting some B-level people do miscellaneous tasks is also a way to liberate the upper-level power.
79. Show the situation
Verna Vincent didn't care. She glanced at those people and prepared to enter. Just as she turned around, she suddenly saw someone walking in front of him into the room selected for him by the Advanced Association, and then sat directly on the single chair specially prepared for him. His movements were natural and smooth, without any sense of incongruity, and his expression was extremely calm, which made him stunned and unhappy again.
Verna Vincent's eyes were instantly filled with dissatisfaction. He had endured Liming for a long time! Now he... Never mind. He had to endure it.
It's really just asking for trouble to argue with a guy who doesn't know what another person's face is.
However, Verna Vincent endured it, but some people couldn't.
Yana saw that Liming actually ignored her respected Lord Vincent and took a seat first, grabbing the best seat. This man didn't even take them seriously. Not only was he impolite, he didn't even have the self-awareness that he was a burden!
"How rude! Master Vincent doesn't even have a seat at the entrance, but you're occupying his seat. Please pay attention to the etiquette that comes with your status!"
"Huh?" Liming was sitting there quietly, not thinking too much, but suddenly heard these words and was stunned for a moment.
"Uh, sorry, I'm used to it."
It’s not that Liming has no sense of etiquette, it’s just that when he was running around the hero associations in various cities, he rarely saw anyone sitting in front of her.
Aren't seats meant for one person? Is it okay to choose a comfortable seat?
Of course, there is no such thing as standing up once you sit down.
She’s not Qianqian or my wife, why should I give in to her?
"Habit? Your upbringing is not commendable."
Seeing that Liming still hadn't learned his lesson and had no intention of getting up and giving up his seat, Yana's impression of Liming became worse.
"That's all."
Verna Vincent didn't say much, nor did she intend to argue for a seat, so she walked to the sofa at the side and sat down.
Yana also closed her mouth, glared at Liming with her cold eyes, and then stood behind the sofa where Verna Vincent was sitting, with no intention of sitting down.
When the others saw that Yana had no seat, they also stood aside and waited. Among them, there were a few who looked at Liming with disdain and contempt, especially the two B-level girls and the A-level man who could not hide his arrogance between his sword-like brows.
What the children of power look down upon the most is not the dirty poor people, but the useless people who are also children of power but are still weak despite having more resources and opportunities than ordinary people.
In a world where the strong prey on the weak and power is paramount, strength is the hard standard to judge people by.
Liming said nothing and just waited calmly.
Now, they are all waiting for someone, a manager within the Hero Association. Naturally, they are not looking for warmth or comfort, but intelligence.
Without sufficient knowledge of the city's situation, intelligence on the criminals, and the Hero Association's preparations, any rash actions would be pointless.
With nothing to do, Verna Vincent turned on the top-of-the-line computer in the room and conducted a targeted search for some of the things that had been passed on to his ears.
Soon, a recording was played.
"You self-depraved hero, your corrupt and filthy soul will forever..."
Anger, reluctance, despair and expectation are intertwined in this flower language and preserved in the form of a recording. Not only here, this recording has been reproduced again and again in the ears of one person after another.
At this time, on the streets of Hopeless City, fully armed and military-trained heroes hurriedly walked from time to time, and the whole city was in a state of panic, and every tree and grass seemed to be an enemy.
The explosion that resounded through the sky yesterday was like the first cannon shot of a war. Many citizens began to migrate, either leaving the city or making all preparations to go to the shelter at any time.
However, the flow of population between cities is not so simple and random. The number of people that each city can afford is proportional to the strength of the Hero Association in the city.
Then, when a city faces an overload of people, it will impose irresistible flow restrictions. They will not allow people who pose great safety risks to flood into their city and become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
Of course, there are still many border crossers, and there are also many successful ones. For example, the Hopeless City, which has been closed for a long time, has been infiltrated by countless criminals, resulting in the current situation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we lost a hero yesterday. We are deeply saddened by the brutal loss of his life by unforgivable criminals."
"But our hero has accomplished his mission brilliantly. He died gloriously. We are proud of him! His name will be gloriously recorded in the history of mankind and will be passed down through the ages."
"Now, we have obtained a lot of intelligence about the criminals. We have made all preparations to wipe out all the brutal, arrogant and inhuman villains."
"We are heroes. We will step forward regardless of our own safety and bravely defend our homeland. May you and I be with you!"
The big screens on high-rise buildings, the televisions and computers in every household, the pockets, hands, and headphones of pedestrians rushing back and forth are all playing communications interrupted by people inside the Hero Association. There are also real-time recordings and speeches of countless celebrities being interviewed, which are densely packed and overwhelming.
The tense atmosphere swept through the entire city like a huge marching ant.
After checking the information published on the Internet, Verna Vincent frowned deeply, his mind heavy, as if he was shouldering an extremely great mission, which made him proud but also worried.
Now, the person who was supposed to pick me up hadn't arrived yet, and there was no way to talk about worldly affairs. So what could I do to relieve my worries and sorrows and adjust my mentality? Of course, I would beat someone up.
Verna Vincent turned to look at Dawn and pointed at the content on the computer, with contempt for Dawn in her eyes. Of course, this was intentional because he wanted to get more pleasure from revenge.
"Look, I asked you to come here yesterday, and you made up a bunch of excuses, just to ask me to protect you. Look at what a real hero is like? He was ordered to help me in times of trouble, and you are the only one who is being pretentious!"
After Verna Vincent said this, Yana and the others cast contemptuous glances at Liming.
Liming knew what Verna Vincent was thinking, and he had no intention of arguing with him. However, as the pillar of the Hero family, he had to teach this rookie some things, in case this guy got cheated one day and lost a considerable manpower. Qianqian's friend would also lose her father, which would have a disastrous impact.
"Hengqi? He's a pretty good hero. But the others are another matter. As an S-class hero, you should know how many of those heroes who speak righteously are not acting out of their own conscience, right?"
"No matter how cowardly and incompetent some guys in the Hero Association are, they at least understand that if the nest is destroyed, all the eggs will be intact. This is what they have to do. Also, put away those interview videos that try so hard to show themselves off. At the critical moment, who can you rely on? Use your own eyes to see. Being deceived by these false things will only make you die ugly."
“True heroes are often unknown.”
80. Chess Players and Pieces
Liming spoke calmly, not moved by the nearly ten pairs of indifferent eyes, and his heart remained unshakable despite ignoring the ignorant.
"What did you say!?" The one who spoke before the others was a B-level girl with a delicate appearance, similar to the beauty of assistant Yana. At this moment, she looked at Liming with her beautiful eyes full of anger, and her little face was slightly puffed, as if she might go up and fight with Liming at any time.
"How can a second-generation rich kid like you know the significance of what my uncle and his friends did? They did it all by themselves. You can't do it, and you have no right to criticize others for pursuing fame and fortune! Apologize to my uncle and his friends now!"
"Xiao Li..."
Another girl next to the angry girl reached out and tugged at the corner of her clothes, hinting with her eyes that she should look at Verna Vincent who was sitting in front of her, as if to say that the boss is speaking now and we followers cannot interrupt casually.
The girl named Xiaoli also showed her girlish temper. She puffed her face angrily, glanced away, and snorted softly, but did not dare to speak again.
Liming glanced at the girl without explaining. Although the girl looked very naive and had a very obvious temper like a spoiled young lady, she was also trying to protect the image of the heroes. As the number one hero, the Goddess of Light, it was impossible for her to instigate the girl to doubt the Hero Association.
When Willna Vincent heard what the girl said, she had no intention of stopping her because she wanted to embarrass Liming. If Liming said something wrong when arguing with others, he would have more ways to teach this kid a lesson!
However, seeing Liming's ordinary face, Wilna Vincent was also a little surprised. Why was this person indifferent to other people's attitude? This kind of mindset should not be possessed by people of this age.
However, since the girl failed to make Liming speak, Verna Vincent had already grasped a point from Liming's previous words that could show that he was different from everyone present!
He must let Liming know that he is the big boss of this makeshift team. Of course, he also wants this kid to obey orders in future actions, do more work and talk less.
To this end, he decided to continue to take the initiative.
"Do you think that they are just putting on a show by giving interviews to express their determination to the people, and reporting on their glorious missions or tragic but unyielding battles? Should heroes keep their achievements and fame to themselves?"
Verna Vincent had a stern expression on her face. She was very disgusted with Dawn's attitude and did not agree with it.
"What is your understanding?" Liming didn't care about Verna Vincent's attitude. He also knew that he had frustrated her several times and she would definitely find a chance to find fault with him.
For Liming, now is just the time to educate the newbies, which is a welcome thing.
Verna Vincent's eyes flickered slightly when she saw Dawn was still so casual. Although she couldn't figure out what was on Dawn's mind, he was an S-class hero. If he didn't even have the confidence that his temperament and insights were superior to others, it would be a waste of him having been a big boss for several years.
“Image and pursuit, dream and distance!”
Verna Vincent deliberately turned around and glanced at the people behind her to attract their attention and let them see her solemn eyes. Then she looked at Liming with a fixed gaze.
He is going to exert his strength!
"Humans are simple creatures. We all have lofty ambitions. Being able to stand on the world's stage is an honor and a proof. It is also the due reward for the heroes' brave and fearless efforts. Their glory should be respected."
"Standing on that brilliant stage is also the dream pursued by countless people who look up to the glory of heroes. They admire the heroes' majestic figures and hope that they can also have such a noble life."
“Heroes also have pursuits. Heroes also come from people. Live for this purpose, fight for this purpose, and the direction is the distant place called heroism.”
"The glory of a hero should not be refuted by the ignorant!"
Before Verna Vincent finished speaking, she had already aroused the resonance of the people behind her. Those people looked at Verna Vincent's extremely tall back, and the admiration and enthusiasm in their eyes were self-evident.
"Sir, Yana is honored to be your assistant." Yana placed one hand on her chest and bowed to Verna Vincent.
Behind Yana, those who had connections, especially the two girls, also began to praise Verna Vincent in a low voice.
All of them originally thought that such pursuits, although attractive, were just worldly pursuits of fame and fortune, which made people embarrassed to speak out and dare not show off. However, the S-level bosses had their own insights, and pursued the stage on the road, which was natural, open and aboveboard, and showed their heroic spirit!
"Best regards, sir!"
"We are honored to work under you."
"My lord, that guy is just a troll. He only says nasty things. People like him should be severely punished!"
"That's right, it's okay for you to work under the adults, but you don't thank the adults for their appreciation. You are so rude to the adults. You are such a mean person!"
"..."
Thinking they could speak, the two girls started talking excitedly. Normally in this situation, Yana would give them a cold look and tell them to shut up, but now, she didn't do that because she felt they were right.
Hearing the words of the person behind her, Verna Vincent smiled secretly in her heart, thinking that she had succeeded in her revenge. She was waiting to see Liming's ugly face, and then feel good.
However, all he saw were those calm eyes.
"Limited? So you are still a pawn." Liming frowned slightly. He was a little surprised by what Verna Vincent said. He really had to say that this person was too incompetent. What the hell was he thinking? Shouldn't those followers think this way? You, an S-level hero, also think this way? What's the difference between you and those pawns who know nothing?
Dawn was speechless.
Because Werna Vincent is the father of Qianqian's friend, and both he and she look like parents, Liming subconsciously looks at her straight in the eye. So he always thinks that although she is stupid, she should know the difference between heroes and criminals, which is based on cities as units, the world as a chessboard, and the difference between chess players and chess pieces.
Chess players, those who guide the world, understand the true role and impact of an event, make rules, set traps and various inducements.
Chess pieces are limited to the rules set by the player and cannot move outside the chess squares.
Li Ming felt a little emotional. He didn't expect that calling this guy a rookie was a bit of an overestimation of him!
Li Ming's expression gradually became a little unnatural. It was like this. At first, he thought the other party was an ignorant rookie who could be taught to be smart, just like a nameless person in this city. But what happened? The other party's level was actually a rookie who couldn't understand human language. It was useless to teach him, and he might even get his hand pecked. In the end, he could only say "You are too beautiful."
Now, should we teach this person or not?
……
What is this man thinking?
Verna Vincent saw Liming's expressionless face and had no idea what he was thinking. Wouldn't an average person get angry and upset, or even start to refute and retort, if they were ridiculed by several people like this?
This kid's expression didn't change at all, which is really hard to figure out. What's going on?
No, that's impossible. How could I not see through this kid's mind? There is absolutely nothing I can say, so I'm forcing myself not to say anything!
Suddenly, the sound of dawn rang out.
"Forget it, for the sake of that little blonde girl, let's just consider it as fate."
Li Ming thought of Qianqian's friend, sighed, and looked at Verna Vincent with critical eyes again.
"Of course, these people in the Hero Association are not just showing themselves off meaninglessly. They themselves may be stupid, but the entire Hero Association is not stupid. Many of the things they show in front of the public are indeed showing their strength. This is to make people in the vortex feel that there is hope of being saved and to calm people's hearts.
"At the same time, it allows people, especially young children, to see and understand what responsibility and courage are, and sets an example for those who come after them to look up to. This is a process that gives them hope, confidence, and purpose, and allows them to have the courage to pursue it. It is a step forward in the times. This is..."
What Dawn didn't say was that this was one aspect of a strategic point in the chess game of time that she had set up by summoning the guardians of all the cities.
"Isn't that what the adults just said? You just said the target is those little brats who are still wet behind the ears. And your change is a bit funny. What use are those little brats?"
The girl with average looks whispered a few words at this time. She just noticed that Verna Vincent disliked Liming, and Yana was the same, so she also boldly spoke up for Verna Vincent.
Wilna Vincent frowned. He didn't think like that girl, because when he talked about children, he would think of his daughter. He would never ignore anything about his daughter. For this reason, he chose to remain silent, think, and let Liming continue.
"But you're different. You're an S-class hero. You're the one that many people follow. You can't be as gullible as the average person because it only makes you look ignorant."
"Looking at the news again, why would they openly announce to the world the intelligence they have and the purpose of their various actions? Are their own strength and actions unimportant? They would do this only because the intelligence they have obtained is either unshakable capital or useless information. Judging from the situation, the latter is more likely."
"Whether it is the former or the latter, their purpose is the same: to dampen the enemy's vigilance. The first is to make the unshakable actions public, which will undermine the criminals' morale! The second is to make the intelligence they obtain useless, and the heroes exaggerate and make it public, in order to make the criminals think that the heroes are incompetent and let the enemy down. This is called strategy!"
"What is the meaning of an incident in a chaotic city? It may be simple for you, those behind you, and the criminals, but the truth is not that simple."
