Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 346

Chapter 346 Daughter-in-law
The Land of Chaos.

“You’re back?” Mock was sitting in front of the wooden hut, playing with the hot pot. The smell of meat from the pot made Xu You drool.

Xu You used the teleportation portal to return and appeared in an unfamiliar place. He saw a small wooden house in front of him. The house was very frugal. There were some vegetables growing around the house and some poultry. On the right side of the house was a small clear lake. The lake surface was broken by fish jumping out of the water from time to time. It was happy and comfortable.

“Yes, Senior.” Xu You replied respectfully, but his eyes wandered around. This should be where Mok lived. Previously, he had always stayed on the hillside where the test was. He lived as an ascetic monk, so this was Xu You’s first time here.

“This is a farmer, a mountain spring, a paradise with some fields.” Xu You sighed.

“Come sit down. Do you feel anything outside?” Mock asked.

“There are many.” Xu You knew what Mo Ke was asking, so he told Mo Ke about the situation he had encountered recently and asked Mo Ke a few questions. The first was about the battle with Dongxia.

“Are you saying that you’ve entered a state where your heart is as still as water again?” After hearing Xu You’s question, Mock paused for a moment before asking back.

“Probably not. At that time, I didn’t feel like I was in that state.” Xu You shook his head.

“Then how did you manage to block the attack 100% successfully?”

“I don’t know, but I guess it’s because of my emotions.” Xu You replied honestly.

“What emotions?” The corner of Mock’s mouth curled into a smile.

“Anger, anger. This situation happened again.”

“Oh? Tell me.” Mok was quite interested. He didn’t even eat hotpot anymore. He raised his head to look at Xu You, only to find that this fellow was staring at the delicious food in the pot. He couldn’t help but smile and said, “Go in and get the utensils, and talk while eating.”

“Alright!” Xu You said excitedly, waiting for Mock’s words.

After getting the bowls and chopsticks from the house and tasting a piece of shiny chicken, he spoke of the situation he had encountered in the fight with the Corpse Devouring Beast with satisfaction.

“Are you saying that when you are angry, you can successfully block the enemy’s attacks by 100%?” Mock asked with a smile.

“Yes, I’ve already encountered such a situation twice. However, this is obviously different from the state I was in when I was first tested, so I would like to ask Senior to clarify my doubts.” Xu You saw Mok’s smile and wondered if he had guessed wrongly.

However, Moke laughed heartily and patted Xu You’s shoulder, saying, “That’s right, brat, you’re a beginner. If you want to control your heart like still water, you need to control your emotions. However, anger is wrong!”

Hearing Mock’s words, Xu You thought that he had found the right direction, but the last sentence made Xu You frown and ask, “Wrong? But I clearly managed to block it 100%.”

“Yes, you did, but do you think you can control your anger?” Mock smiled faintly and asked Xu You a question.

“This” Xu You was stunned. Can he control his anger? Can a person be angry when they want to be angry? Can I make the right choice when I’m angry?

Xu You quickly turned the big question into a few small questions, but the answer he gave himself was “no”.

‘”Anger is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you can increase your strength. If you don’t use it well, you can easily be used by others. Thinking back to history, how many people have a good ending?” Mock added, “Anger is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you can increase your strength. If you don’t use it well, you can easily be used.”

Xu You didn’t know whether Mock was talking about the history of the game or the real world. However, he understood Mock’s words. Anger was uncontrollable. Even if he could resist attacks 100%, it would still be easily used by his opponents. Therefore, to enter a state where his heart was still like water, it was impossible to rely on anger.

So it’s not anger? What kind of emotion was it? Actually, he knew it from the name “Heart as still as water”.

“Senior” Just as Xu You was about to ask about his emotions, Mok waved his hand and said, “If you want to prove the answer in your heart, you have to experience it yourself. Are you ready?”

“Huh? Oh, okay.” Xu You instantly understood what Mock meant.

“Then go.” Mok waved his hand and Xu You returned to the test area. On a hillside that was 10 meters tall, many more “Xu You” found Xu You to play with.

“Heart as still as water, is that an extremely calm emotion?” Xu You took out his Dragon Fang and muttered to himself as he looked at the avatar in front of him.

Cultivation continued.

…

Time flowed mercilessly like flowing water. Xu You focused all of his attention on practicing battle techniques. He seemed to have found the right path. His guess was correct. His heart was as still as water. It was a state that could only be achieved if he was in a calm mood.

The reason why Xu You succeeded for the first time was because he was physically and mentally exhausted. However, because he was practicing his combat skills with an indifferent attitude, there would be no anxiety or fear. There would also be no anger, nervousness, and other emotions. Therefore, Xu You was very calm at that time. As a result, he entered that miraculous state.

On the contrary, after knowing that he could also practice battle techniques, Xu You was eager to refine this technique. Naturally, he would feel frustrated and anxious in the midst of continuous failures. This was the reason why he had never entered the “Heart of Still Water” again.

After entering the Land of Chaos again, Xu You understood this point. Therefore, he tried his best to maintain a calm state of mind when practicing. As a result, the success rate increased. However, his heart was still far from being touched. Xu You knew that he still needed a lot of practice.

As Xu You worked hard to practice his battle techniques, the players on the Victorious Return Continent also moved forward slowly. The hero instance dungeon of the hero instance dungeon of the Wilderness Opening Realm, the hero instance dungeon of the level Opening Realm, the side business of the level Opening Realm, and the banquet of the banquet …

Of course, those who should earn money must earn money. Unknowingly, a shop called Dreamjewelry appeared in the bustling areas of the six main cities. However, the jewelry sold inside was not much different from the jewelry of other jewelry dealers. The Dreamjewelry shop did not do anything. It seemed to be just an ordinary shop.

But the six major cities opened their stores at the same time, many jewelry industry chambers of commerce are eyeing “Dreamjewelry”, For some reason, this shop gave them a sense of danger. Since this was the case, these big brothers in the jewelry industry would naturally take action. However, the result surprised them and even shocked them. Because with their connections and methods, they were unable to find out the background of Dreamjewelry, and some secret operations ended in failure …

However, the Dream Jewelry Shop was just one side business, It didn’t attract much attention. The most famous things in the recent period were the Bauhinia and Ruo Hua. The Bauhinia naturally succeeded in rebuilding and defeated the other opponents of the Iron Castle to become the strongest guild in the Iron Castle. As for the previous Heaven’s Pain, it had already declined. In an instant, Heaven and Mo Luo disappeared.

In a short week, Ruo Hua had levelled up to LV50, which was comparable to the Holy Light Inscription that had soared to the top of the current leveling list. In February, the newly promoted players’ ranking disappeared, while Ruo Hua had actually reached the original leveling list with LV53, ranking 10th, causing an uproar in the entire Huaxia region.

In addition, Xu You had completely dropped out of the rankings because he stayed in the Land of Chaos. Yue Wuyou’s name had already disappeared from the players’ vision. Although some gossip players had mentioned this matter on the Ao Long Forum, it was normal for old players to not work hard and drop out of the rankings. In the past, too many players were like Yue Wuyou for a flash in the pan, and then fell silently into the players’ waves.

…

One night, at Xu You’s house.

“Xiao You, you seem to have dropped out of the rankings.” Mother Li Yun said to Xu You, who was wolfing down the food.

“Yeah, I’m doing a hidden mission. I don’t have time to level up.” Xu You swallowed all the food in his mouth before answering Li Yun’s question.

“Xiao You, eat slowly. How many times have you said that?” Li Yun looked at his son as if he hadn’t eaten for a few days and couldn’t help but persuade him.

“Mm-hmm.” Xu You just nodded and continued to eat. He was really hungry.

“What quest have you been doing for the past two months? Why are you consuming so much energy?” Li Yun frowned and asked.

“Cultivation mission.”

“Then when will you finish the quest? Then will you be on the ranking list again?” Li Yun asked again.

“Huh?” Xu You was stunned. Since when did mother care about such a problem?

Li Yun also knew that the question he was asking was a little strange. He couldn’t help but explain, “Xiao Ying mentioned the ranking list to me recently. Did you drop out of the ranking list mean that Xiao You’s game level has dropped?”

Hearing that, Xu You couldn’t help but laugh, “Mom, why do you think so? Do you think that I haven’t subsidized my family recently?”

“No, of course not.” Li Yun shook his head, but the expression on his face betrayed her. Xu You also noticed that his father, Xu Sheng, who pretended to be reading the newspaper, also pricked up his ears.

“Mom and Dad, let’s buy a big house after a while. Your son pays for it. Although there’s heating here, it’s still cold to stay in the ecological warehouse at night,” Xu You said.

“Hmm? Buying a house? Is it real?”

“Of course, don’t worry, my dear father and mother. After a while, no one will earn more money in the game than your son. Oh, second brother earns a little more than me.”

“Oh, that’s good. That’s good.” Li Yun and Xu Sheng still didn’t understand, but seeing their son’s confident appearance, they shouldn’t be as “corrupt” as they imagined.

As for Xu You’s words about buying a big house, it wasn’t that the two elders didn’t believe him. It was just that “big house” was impossible. It was good that they could move out of this place that had already been relegated to the old city. The money that their son earned in the game was enough to buy a new small house.

Xu You didn’t know what his parents were thinking, so he asked, “Mom and Dad, are you still playing with cookies?”

“Of course, Little Biscuit is so cute. She is much better than you when you were young. Little Ying is also very beautiful. I like them very much.” The moment Li Yun mentioned the biscuit, his face immediately lit up, causing Xu You to feel all kinds of envy and jealousy.

Father Xu Sheng also said, “Xiao You, Xiao Ying is very good in all aspects. Why don’t you consider it?”

“What aspects are good? What do you mean?”

‘”It’s all aspects of the family. Although Little Biscuit’s body is a little weak, after treatment, she’s much better. Even though she’s still suffering from autism, with the help of your father and me, she’s much better. Little Ying is very grateful to us. I think Little Ying is pretty good at being our daughter-in-law. Little You, think about it.” Li Yun asked expectantly.

“…”
