My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 259: Gentle, Beautiful, Kind-hearted, Xia Lin Sacrifices for Others

Xia Lin’s actual hiding place in the Cinder District is a relatively ordinary house.

I was inconspicuous to begin with, and I don't know how this woman got here.

He invited the woman into the house, and only sat down opposite her after she sat down.

"The conditions are simple, and there are no drinks or pastries. I hope you can forgive me."

Xia Lin said politely, smiling gently without saying anything, just silently looking at the man in front of him.

Young, tall, thin and handsome.

He has a good appearance and bright eyes, and seems to be very smart and clever.

It’s a pity that we can only know a person’s face but not his heart.

Just looking at the appearance, gentleness cannot reveal a person's character and background.

Especially in this ashes area, you cannot take action or use skills.

Thinking of this, Wen Rou said, "My name is Wen Rou, human sequence 92."

She revealed her identity, and Xia Lin nodded in understanding.

"So it's from the human race... I'm Xia Lin, an unknown person."

After a brief self-introduction, Xia Lin breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wenrou with a happy face.

"It seems that this time, we will have to rely on Ms. Wenrou for the Ashes District."

There is an unwritten rule among strangers in the Ash Zone.

If there is a tendency to cooperate, the strongest person will naturally become the leader and make decisions and judgments.

Now that Xia Lin had said this, it not only meant that he was inclined to cooperate, but also meant that he thought he was not strong enough and gave up the initiative in the cooperation.

Wenrou immediately stood up after hearing this and bowed slightly to Xia Lin: "Thank you in advance for your trust."

Xia Lin also stood up and bowed.

"Trust is a must, and it is the prerequisite for cooperation."

"Not to mention that Ms. Wenrou and I should have the same goal."

Having said this, Xia Lin sighed slightly, revealing an expression of compassion.

"I don't care about soul light or anything like that, but once this ember area explodes, it will cause a foundation-level disaster. This concerns the safety of my main planet, so I have to pay attention to this."

Breathe a gentle sigh of relief.

"My purpose is the same."

"To be honest, I once solved a foundation-level disaster. After that experience, I don't want to encounter a foundation-level disaster again."

When she said this, Wenrou's eyes revealed a look of heartache and complexity. It was obvious that her main star had suffered severe damage in that foundation-level disaster.

For a moment, the man and woman sitting opposite each other showed similar expressions.

It is hatred for the disaster and pity for the casualties.

Two saints?
I can only say, one is true and the other is false...

The gentle look was clearly visible from the corner of my eye.

Xia Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, from the gentle behavior of visiting the house, we can see that this woman’s character is most likely kind.

The human race sequence, noble status, powerful strength.

Being of this level and still polite when visiting someone is what is commonly known as a gentleman.

Thinking of this, Xia Lin smiled bitterly.

"I was alone and weak. Even if I used a trick and became the first dream escaper, I still couldn't find a way to crack this ember zone."

"What's more, I encountered a Cinder Walker. That Cinder Walker is powerful, but has a violent personality. He has become my mortal enemy..."

She smiled gently, "Is it Asgard? The giant dragon of the mythical beast?"

Xia Lin looked surprised: "Do you know him?"

He nodded gently: "He is a genius of the Orcs. His strength is close to the top 100 of the Orcs. He is well-known in the Ashes. Even if I were to face Asgard, I might not be able to win."

The beast tribe covers too many areas.

There are half-beast species, pure beast species, and divine beast species.

Multiple races are included in the two words "Orcs", resulting in the Orc sequence being stronger than the Human sequence.

Wenrou is the 92nd in the human sequence. In terms of hard power, she may be similar to Asgard, who is not in the top of the orc sequence.

Xia Lin didn't need to say anything else, Wenrou had already said it.

"It wouldn't be surprising if you messed with that guy. Asgard is a cruel and bloodthirsty person, and normal people can't get along with him."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this guy's problem for now, let's get back to the problem of this Ashes District."

"To show my sincerity, let me first tell you a situation I observed."

"That guy named Lucifer has a big problem."

……

Xia Lin has never met Lucifer.

But Wenrou saw it.

Before, Lucifer took the initiative to find Wenrou, and the two fought in a dream.

"This person's strength is not inferior to mine... No, I should say, he is even stronger than me."

But it didn't seem to be too strong. After several hours of fierce fighting, Wenrou was still intact.

"The problem is not with this person's strength, but with this person's state."

"Based on my observations, this Lucifer doesn't look like a strong man who is about to achieve level 11. His mind is sometimes clear, sometimes confused, and sometimes dull. Compared to other natives in the dream, he is more like a fake person or a symbol."

"It is precisely because of this observation, combined with the name of the Ashes Zone, January Dream Robbery, that I suddenly came up with this conjecture: Is this Ashes Zone a huge dream?"

And it just so happened that Wenrou had accumulated more than 10,000 points of wish power at that time.

When Xia Lin took the initiative to wake up from the dream, Wenrou's willpower spontaneously became active. With Xia Lin's operation, 1 willpower was consumed and she escaped from the dream and came into reality.

Xia Lin suddenly realized.

It is not the case that just having 1 points of wish power will automatically get rid of the dream.

One must also be vaguely aware of the existence of the dreams of all living beings.

For those who are not in the know, this is another cognitive barrier that prevents them from seeing the truth.

For a moment, Xia Lin's expression became a little complicated.

Normally, it is extremely difficult to wake up from a dream for the first time.

There is 1 willpower in the front and cognitive impairment in the back.

In the process, there was also Xia Lin, a damaged item.

Gentleness can make people escape from dreams, it is purely a coincidence.

Wenrou, however, thought that Xia Lin was just expressing his gratitude for finally finding someone who shared the same interests with him.

She continued: "And when I woke up from the dream, I finally understood the underlying logic of this Ash Zone."

“This made me think about a few questions.”

"What is the cause of this dream of all living beings? What is the purpose?"

Xia Lin followed Wenrou's thoughts and slowly said, "The cause of the dream of all living beings is that Lucifer failed to ascend to godhood, which triggered an unknown change."

Wenrou shook her head: "This is too general."

Xia Lin smiled bitterly and said, "But that's all I know..."

He smiled gently and said, "What's the purpose then?"

Xia Lin spoke again: "At present, it seems that the purpose of this dream of all living beings is to collect vows."

At this point, his thoughts suddenly came to him and he thought of Goode and Asgard.

"Before I woke up from the dream, I experienced a dream reflux. This dream reflux might have been caused by that evil-looking Ash Walker."

Wenrou added: "Goode, his name is Goode, he is a master who is qualified to compete for the human race sequence. He belongs to the original dark side."

Xia Lin nodded in understanding: "That's not surprising. The way he triggered the first dream backflow was probably because he couldn't control his desire to kill, and he attacked recklessly, causing the dream to backfire."

"But what puzzled me before was that Asgard destroyed the million-strong army of the Kingdom of Shina on his own. Why didn't this level of killing trigger the reflux of dreams?"

"I couldn't figure out the logic behind it before, but now I have a vague guess."

Wenrou looked at Xia Lin, and heard Xia Lin say: "The key is still the power of will."

"Asgard's actions are a process of collecting willpower. No matter how much killing he has done and how much destruction he has brought in the process, he is ultimately responding to the wishes of the natives in the dream."

"And Goode's actions were most likely just pure killing and destruction."

Wenrou thought about Xia Lin's conclusion and nodded quickly: "This guess makes sense."

"Now, you and I both know that willpower is the purpose of this dream of all living beings. Willpower is also the universal currency in dreams. With sufficient willpower, you can do whatever you want in dreams."

Wenrou had tried to enter dreams actively before, and also learned how to use the power of will.

In short, the power of vows is omnipotent in dreams.

"So, the meaning of the existence of this dream of all living beings is to collect the power of will."

"The willpower you and I used to escape from the dream, and the willpower consumed by others to resist the return of the dream, did not disappear into thin air, but was traded to the Dream of All Beings like chips."

Xia Lin nodded: "That should be the case."

All the wishes collected by the Ash Walkers belong to themselves at the beginning.

When the willpower is spent, it disappears. The walker in the Ashes uses the willpower to achieve a certain purpose, which is what Wenrou mentioned as the transaction.

In this process, the power of will is generated by the Ash Walker satisfying the wishes of the natives in the dream, and is spent by the Ash Walker to purchase corresponding permissions, and finally flows into the hands of the Dream GM.

A very simple consumption cycle.

"And this process actually conflicts with the Soul Light Competition Mission." Wenrou said so.

This sentence made Xia Lin look up at Wenrou.

He hadn't thought of this before, but this woman had...

Okay, Xia Lin admitted that his brain was just at the level of an ordinary person, but this gentle brain seemed to be superior to that of ordinary people.

Facing Xia Lin's gaze, she continued gently, "The outcome of the fight for the soul light depends on how much willpower the Cinder Walker retains. But if you want to solve the puzzle of the dream of all living beings, you have to consume willpower."

Breaking away from dreams and reflowing are both ways of consuming the power of will.

If you expend your willpower here, it will be wasted and will no longer exist, which will put you at a disadvantage in the battle for soul light.

Before Xia Lin could speak, Wen Rou changed the subject: "The question we discussed before was: the purpose of this dream of all living beings."

"We now have a consensus that this Dream of the Ashes is collecting willpower."

“But collecting the power of will is a process, it is the meaning of the existence of the dream of all living beings, but it is not the result.”

“So I’m wondering, when the willpower is gathered enough to satisfy the dreams of all living beings, what changes will happen to this Ash Zone?”

Xia Lin acted as if he had realized something. "Considering that the Soul Light Fighting Quest conflicts with the main storyline of the Cinders, do you think that after the collection of the Willpower is completed, there will be some changes that are unfavorable to us?"

Nodding gently: "Yes, I do think so."

Gentle thoughts are based on facts and are not fanciful.

"And this change is the purpose of the dream of all living beings."

……

Xia Lin fell into deep thought.

But after thinking about it, I felt that it didn’t matter.

His fundamental goal was to clear the Ashen Zone, and Xia Lin had not forgotten this.

This matter concerns life and death, and its importance is even greater than brushing attributes.

But the problem is that Xia Lin doesn't need to pay to get rid of his dream, and the willpower consumed by actively returning dreams is too little.

To put it bluntly, the value of his vows that he offered to this dream of all living beings was insignificant.

Even if things are really as Wenrou said, after collecting enough willpower, some bad things will happen in this Cinders area, Xia Lin still has plenty of time to benefit himself.

But when it comes to your mouth, you can’t say that anymore.

When facing Wenrou, Xia Lin took the initiative to change his personality - a personality that cannot be called a saint, but is indeed a good person.

He sighed softly and took the initiative to bow to Wenrou.

"Ms. Wenrou's words enlightened me."

After saying this, he took a deep breath, as if he had made some decision.

"Since we have come to this point, I will also be honest with you, Ms. Wenrou."

"I, the first dreamer, used a trick." "I have a method that allows me to carry out the dream-breaking process without loss. It is because of this method that I became the first dreamer."

When saying this, Xia Lin stared at Wenrou's gentle eyes seriously.

When he saw that there was no greed or covetousness in Wenrou's eyes, but instead a look of joy, Xia Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

confirmed.

This sister is such a good person.

At this moment, Xia Lin made up this half-true and half-false statement not because he was sincere and honest and took the initiative to reveal his cards, but because he had already made a decision in the conversation just now.

It is indeed possible to cooperate with gentleness to a certain extent.

It also tests your gentle character.

If Wenrou is a bad person and was just pretending to be a good person, then she could just have a dream reflux and clear all her memories - Wenrou spent 1 points of willpower to get out of the dream on her own initiative, and Xia Lin didn't believe how much willpower she had left.

The current situation is the best possible scenario.

"really?"

Wenrou asked with a happy face, Xia Lin nodded heavily: "Of course it's true, I won't lie to you with such words."

A gentle look flashed in her eyes: "In this case, we have a lot of room for maneuver."

Xia Lin had a lot of thoughts and a series of ideas quickly came up.

Soon he added: "But I must actively reflow my dreams to cleanse Asgard's memory... Otherwise, the giant lizard will come to seek revenge on me as soon as it enters the arena. I am no match for it."

Wenrou wanted to say that she could withstand the threat from Asgard. Xia Lin's initiative to reflux dreams would provide power for the dreams of all living beings, which was not perfect.

Xia Lin dispelled Wenrou's concerns with one sentence.

"It doesn't consume much willpower."

"Besides, I, Xia Lin, am a man of integrity. How can I hide behind a woman?"

A gentle joy.

This guy is a bit chauvinistic.

Don't tell me, it's quite cute.

……

The cooperation has been achieved at this point.

All that’s left is to make a plan.

Wenrou, as Human Sequence 92, naturally took the lead in the cooperation under Xia Lin's humility.

The plan was also made by her.

"Since you can perform active dream reflow without loss, we should arrange the plan in this way."

"The key is observation and exploration. I must first watch the complete development of this month in the dream, without the interference of the Ash Walker."

Wenrou said this, and Xia Lin nodded quickly.

“This is the most important thing we should do.”

Why do dreams of all living beings arise?

What happened during Lucifer's achievement of level eleven that caused the reality of the Amber Zone to become what it is now?
These questions still have no answers.

In short, only by going through the complete process of this dream can many doubts be solved.

Xia Lin also wanted to do this before, but unfortunately it was disrupted by this group of Ash Walkers.

The six local pillars are too weak, and people like Wenrou are too strong, which makes it difficult for the situation to evolve smoothly according to the facts that have happened in the past.

And this time, Wenrou was ready to take action.

"I will contact other Ashland Walkers and try to see if I can get them to put aside their disputes and watch the changes in the dream."

Xia Lin shook his head: "This is difficult."

The walkers in the Cinders have different personalities, and the competition for soul light leads to natural conflicts in their positions.

Xia Lin is gentle, beautiful and kind-hearted. She doesn't care about Hun Guang. That's why the two of them can successfully reach a cooperation. Others might not be so easy to talk to.

Wenrou also realized the difficulty. She sighed and said, "But no matter what, we have to see what happened in the past month. If other Ash Walkers don't cooperate, I think I can only use some rough methods..."

Being beautiful and kind doesn't mean you are easy to mess with.

Wenrou can sit at the 92nd position in the human race sequence, so naturally she has no shortage of thundering methods.

At this point, Xia Lin suddenly spoke.

“In fact, we can change our thinking.”

"For example, we use our willpower to purchase identities and actively cooperate with the local six pillars to complete their plans. In this way, we can also reduce the interference of other Cinder Walkers on the plot and successfully spy on the facts that have already happened."

He opened his mouth tenderly, but hesitated to speak.

She thought that it was really hard to obtain the power of vows.

Her 10,000 points of wish power were obtained by helping Dongfang Ningwei fulfill his wish to become emperor - this was actually quite difficult, and it took Wenrou's great ability to accomplish this within five days.

Xia Lin saw Wenrou's difficulty and smiled gently, "I have a way."

Seeing Wenrou looking up, Xia Lin said solemnly, "I know that I am not strong enough and my brain is not very smart. The hope of passing this Ash Zone does not lie with me, but with you."

"So this is what I was thinking. Can I use my current identity as a stepping stone to help you quickly gain power and get a high-ranking identity in your dream as soon as possible?"

"By then, with our identities and your strength, it will probably be much easier for us to promote the smooth development of the plot in the dream."

Wen Wen was stunned.

Willpower is a good thing.

Now, you said you would take the initiative to help me build a ladder and gain the power of will...

What does this highlight?
This is Xia Lin’s excellent character of sacrificing himself for his teammate!

"What are you going to do?"

Facing Wen Rou's question, Xia Lin smiled and said, "This is what I think..."

……

Brewing sleepiness and entering a dream.

After countless dreams returned, Xia Lin guessed that his memory of Asgard had probably been washed away, so he chose to officially start a new round of dreams.

In the bedroom of Yushina XIII, Xia Lin slowly opened his eyes.

He casually took out a mobile phone from his personal space, sat at the bedside and waited for a moment, and the phone rang.

After the call was connected, a gentle voice came from inside.

"it's me."

"I sensed Asgard's location, and it didn't go looking for you."

The first step went very successfully.

Except for Xia Lin and Wen Rou, all other walkers in the Ash Zone had their memories wiped clean.

"Then let's start the second step."

Xia Lin said this with a smile, then stood up and left the bedroom.

……

At this moment, Wenrou, who was far away in the Eastern Kingdom, also took a step forward.

In the flash of light and shadow, Wenrou appeared in front of the king of the Eastern Kingdom, Dongfang Su, in just ten minutes.

Dongfang Su was startled by the sudden appearance of the woman in front of him.

But what surprised him even more was yet to come.

"I have a way to help you get the entire Xina Kingdom."

Dongfang Su slowly opened his mouth.

Wenrou continued: "The only question is, is it your wish to annex the Kingdom of Xina?"

A white light flashed in Wenrou's eyes.

Clearly saw the traces of nightmare fiction on Dongfang Su's body.

But at this moment, Wenrou was too lazy to pay attention to the existence of the nightmare creation technique and just asked this.

The spell of Nightmare Creation will not distort the personality of the recipient, but will only affect the recipient's judgment at critical moments.

Oriental Sculpture is still the same Oriental Sculpture.

As the lord of the Eastern Kingdom, Dongfang Su's wish is to expand the kingdom's territory and enhance its strength.

Wenrou's words obviously hit the mark.

Dongfang Su nodded blankly, and then heard the gentle voice again.

"Then you have to do this..."

Ten minutes later, Dongfang Plastics issued the following announcement.

[From a legal perspective, the Kingdom of Shina has been an inseparable part of the Eastern Kingdom since ancient times. ]

Attached below is a document that I don’t know where it came from and may have been fabricated.

The news shocked the whole world.

Without waiting for the six local pillars to react, Xia Lin also responded to this announcement at the subsequent kingdom meeting.

But it's not a declaration of war...

【What the Eastern Lord said is true.】

[Now, King Sina XIII is willing to dedicate the entire Sina Kingdom to the Eastern Kingdom and become a vassal of the Eastern Kingdom forever. ]

Just a few minutes later, the declaration was delivered to Dongfang Su by the mages.

Looking at the declaration of Sina XIII on the table, Dongfang Su felt as if he was in a dream.

He turned his head to look at the white-haired woman in white clothes beside him.

But I found that this woman also had a complicated expression.

In order to help her obtain the power of wish, Xia Lin voluntarily sold the entire Xina Kingdom.

Although the two have reached an agreement to form a team.

Although Xia Lin can perform lossless dream reflux.

However, Xia Lin's selfless dedication still made those who were used to the gentle nature of the Ash Walkers feel a warm feeling.

Just then a message came from her cell phone and she looked down.

"Have the wish power points arrived? If they have, I will start the dream reflux..."

While replying to Xia Lin's message, Wenrou sighed softly.

There are not many good teammates like Xia Lin in the entire Jhin area.

……

Wenrou didn't know that Xia Lin, who was far away in the Xina Kingdom, was about to take off into the sky.

[You backstabbed the faction you belonged to: the Kingdom of Shina.]

[Backstab effect assessment: devastating. ]

[You have destroyed the legal basis for the existence of the Kingdom of Shina.]

【You have gained 2 points of all attributes. 】

Offering the country is naturally the biggest stab in the back!

But Xia Lin couldn't do this before, because the logic was: Xia Lin wanted to offer his country, so someone had to take it over. With the six local pillars, Xia Lin couldn't contact Dongfangsu or the five major families of the Rus Kingdom. If others wanted to take over the entire Xina Kingdom, their status and position were not high enough.

Changing the ruler is not called backstabbing. Even if Sina XIII is replaced, the Sina Kingdom is still the Sina Kingdom. At most, the name has changed, but the essence remains unchanged.

Selling out the entire country like you are doing now is called a stab in the back!

Before, when Xia Lin wanted to offer his country, he had to spend too much energy and time to prepare.

We also have to face obstruction from the six local pillars, so it is highly likely that we will not succeed.

But now with gentle cooperation, everything has become simple and direct.

Looking at the 2 points of all attributes that he had harvested, Xia Lin's smile gradually became perverted...

The entire process only takes less than half an hour!

Asgard?

Who is Asgard?

I'm sorry, Xia Lin only recognizes gentleness now.

She is beautiful and kind-hearted, a good person.
