Chapter 184 The Opportunity to Thoroughly Digest the Potion
Chapter 184 The opportunity to completely digest the magic potion
The previous use of interests, power, and emotions to "corrupt" Isla and Basel respectively has already digested a lot of the "Corruption Baron" potion that Gray Lint just took. But the digestion of the potion requires a certain amount of time.
process, and he has only summarized two rules for playing the "Corrupted Baron" so far, so there are still a lot of potions that need to be digested slowly.
The two role-playing rules are:
Use various methods including but not limited to interests, power, emotion, beauty and power to make others break the rules they originally abide by in order to achieve the purpose of benefiting themselves.
The difference between this and the "briber" stage is that Darnell takes the initiative to "ask for a bribe" like before, and can also help Graylingt play. But in the "corruption baron" stage, the process of "corruption" must be reflected.
Let the goal change from "obeying the rules to breaking the rules".
This is also the reason why the feedback Gralint received from his performance in Basel was not exaggerated. In fact, his inner principles were not broken much, only a few changes were made.
The current effect is only because the level gap between the two sides is large enough.
The second rule of acting is to seize the weaknesses of people's hearts and "corrupt" them based on their weaknesses.
Graylint was inspired by the extraordinary ability of "distortion".
The interesting thing about the extraordinary ability of "distortion" is that the method of use is very flexible, but the effect of distortion cannot be too exaggerated and can only be distorted within a certain limit. If you try too exaggerated distortion, it will either fail or lead to
Mutation. The same goes for the corruption of human nature. Human nature has various weaknesses, so you can use various methods of corruption, but only by "prescribing the right medicine" can you achieve the goal of "corruption" at the minimum cost.
For example, if the target you intend to corrupt likes money, but what you give him is not banknotes or gold, but the power to control a certain organization, it will be difficult to achieve good results.
Maybe you think, isn’t it very easy to make money after taking power?
Indeed, this idea is correct, but for a person who likes money, such "corruption" is far less exciting than the shining gold and ink-smelling banknotes.
Then you may have to spend more money to achieve your goals, or even have the opposite effect.
In addition to these two points of role-playing rules, Gray Lint also guessed that if you want to completely digest the "Corrupted Baron" potion, you may be corrupted. In addition to others, you must change your own rules, but you must also practice it yourself.
The process of "corruption".
"What about my own rules?"
"Hey, this seems to be similar to the Sequence 6 'Faceless Man' of the 'Soothsayer' path? You have to truly examine your own heart... But the 'Faceless Man' requires you to always 'be yourself', and
The requirement of 'Corruption Baron' is to 'corrupt' oneself and truly feel the change in inner principles.
However, just as the interpretation of Tarot cards has upright and reverse positions, the interpretation of magic potions also has good and evil directions.
The core element of "corruption" I am talking about here should be just "changes in inner principles due to external reasons." It doesn't matter whether this change is good or bad.
But this process of 'changing one's own code of conduct in order to fit the potion' seems to conflict with 'acting can only be acting, and you can only be yourself'?"
While Gray Linte was thinking, he unconsciously held an unfilled pen and slid it casually across the paper.
Gradually, he came up with some more accurate ideas.
"Well, it seems that there can be such a process. I am affected by certain external factors, and then I am 'corrupted', changing my inner persistence and original principles, and then I look at this from the perspective of a bystander.
process, and realize that this is the result of being corrupted, and not from the original thoughts in my heart."
"Yes, that should be it. This way, you can actually experience the 'corruption', but you won't be affected by the potion and become its slave."
“One question that cannot be avoided no matter what is:
What kind of person am I? What kind of logic and code of conduct do I have?"
He actually has a very clear grasp on this issue.
"The essence of my soul is that of an alien god, a 'son of chaos' from the past, but my personality is not. The formation of personality depends on memory, and my memory is that of the 'traveler' Zhong Jianshu."
And "Zhong Jianshu" accepted the teleological and result-oriented education of the 21st century. His experience was that his parents were divorced and he was raised by his grandmother. Moreover, thanks to the convenience of the Internet age, he has heard and seen.
I have also truly experienced the warmth and warmth of many human relationships. That’s why I use layers of social circles to close myself in. I don’t want to hurt others or hinder others, but I am also afraid of being hurt by others.
This kind of mentality, at best, is called "I will not offend others unless they offend me"; at worst, it is actually egoism. When something unjust happens in front of him, he may not be able to do it because of the "evil"
It hinders oneself and chooses to ignore it.
"This is Klein's personality charm and the reason why I admire him.
And myself, huh..."
After thinking about it, he realized himself clearly step by step. He dipped his pen in some ink and wrote three lines of self-understanding:
"For an egoist, one's own life and interests are the first priority."
"A person who is too utilitarian is more willing to choose 'beneficial' rather than 'right'."
"A person who hopes to live and live better, but actually has nothing he really cares about and can give up anything."
Looking at these three lines of self-evaluation over and over again, Gray Linte frowned. The knuckles of his right hand holding the pen turned white, and the hard pen was completely deformed by pinching. The more he looked at it, the more dissatisfied he became and wanted to tear it up.
page of white paper, grind it into powder, and burn it to ashes.
He hates himself for being like this, but he clearly realizes that this is the fact, and it cannot be changed by venting.
After a long time, he sighed and added another sentence:
"A lost man, he has lost something and he is looking for it."
After finishing the last stroke, he threw the completely deformed pen into the trash can. At the same time, a rusty red mantis emerged from his sleeve, and a fire flashed in his compound eyes, erasing the page with only four lines of words.
White Paper - This is not the extraordinary ability of the "Pyromancer", but is given to it by Gray Lint through the "Spirit Worm", derived from the ignition ability of the "Magician".
When Marionette Morgan was killed by the "Iron-Blooded Knight" the day before yesterday, Gray Lint didn't react at all, let alone had time to recover the "Spirit Worm" inside, causing it to be burned directly by the demigod-level flames.
, and the "spiritual insects" in the "Chain of Artifices" cannot regenerate after they die, so now there are only 16 spiritual insects left in the "Chain of Artifices".
When these 16 "Spirit Insects" are used up, the "Chain of Artifacts" can only be used to control marionettes.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
"Looking back, we can actually catch a few more monsters to make marionettes."
In fact, he has the "imprisonment" at the level of the King of Angels. It is relatively simple to capture a relatively small medium-sequence monster to make a marionette. It's just that he is using the "chain of trickery" to control the thread of the spirit body and try to turn the target into a marionette.
At that time, there is not much energy that can be allocated. Using the "Chain of Secrets" to release extraordinary abilities will be inaccurate. You must have a trustworthy friend to assist you.
"Let's wait until Jim comes back or until Carol contacts me."
