Reverse thinking
Downstairs in the dormitory building.
Shen Heng stood in an open space where he wouldn't obstruct others from walking, and looked up.
The black snow continued to fall, but it didn't land inside the base. Instead, it seemed to be brushed aside by something, swirling and slowly drifting away from the base.
Although it is lightweight, it can cover the entire base and operates 24 hours a day.
Is the difference in total Origin Power between Fourth Tier and Sixth Tier really that large?
Shen Heng silently watched the snowflakes swirling in the sky.
After a moment, he looked away.
Han Ling had already walked to his side.
The two exchanged a glance, then walked straight towards the hall where the meeting was being held.
The conference hall was already quite crowded.
Shen Heng glanced around, and was about to find a seat at random when he saw Lü Wenrui waving from the middle or back row.
Shen Heng glanced at Han Ling, then walked over there.
"Good morning, Brother Heng Sister Han!" Lü Wenrui greeted them with a smile.
Tang Yuanyang, sitting to the side, also nodded in greeting to the two of them.
Although they had been in the Erosion Zone for quite some time, most people still subconsciously looked for their original teammates when taking action.
"Good morning!" Shen Heng greeted the two of them in return.
Han Ling nodded slightly, then sat down next to Shen Heng.
"By the way, Brother Heng," Lü Wenrui leaned closer and whispered, "I recently found a great way to earn Origin Crystal!"
Upon hearing Lü Wenrui's words, Tang Yuanyang, who was sitting next to him, immediately frowned.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but after hesitating for a moment, he remained silent.
Shen Heng glanced at Tang Yuanyang with slight doubt, then turned his gaze to Lü Wenrui, "What connections?"
"Did you know that someone at the base is planning a sparring match recently?" Lü Wenrui whispered.
Shen Heng nodded slightly.
Because the situation regarding the attacks by the Calamity Beast has eased recently, everyone is no longer as tense as they were when they first arrived.
Therefore, a group of people who possessed power, having nothing better to do, began to spar and challenge each other.
"So, the method you're talking about is to spar with others, and then the loser gives the winner their Origin Crystal?" Shen Heng frowned slightly.
"No, but when people are sparring, someone will set up a betting pool, and then you can bet on who will win!" Lü Wenrui said.
"Isn't this almost the same?" Shen Heng said.
Lü Wenrui frowned and pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded, "If you put it that way, you could say it's about the same."
"So, you're telling me this because you want me to take a gamble too?" Shen Heng asked, looking at Lü Wenrui.
"Yes, that's right. Brother Heng, you must have a lot of Origin Crystal, right? If you win this bet, you'll definitely earn even more!" Lü Wenrui nodded seriously.
"Otherwise, at the current rate, it won't be easy to obtain more Origin Crystal!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Heng looked at Lü Wenrui thoughtfully.
Also because the overall trend of Calamity Beast attacks has eased, in many cases now, they don't even need to be involved in the Calamity Beast attacks. Ordinary soldiers can kill the Calamity Beast with firearms and missiles.
This situation leads to a significant reduction in their efficiency in obtaining Origin Crystal.
Even if we consider Shen Heng's case, it would be the same.
Although more than a month had passed, the value of the Origin Crystal he had obtained in that time was only equivalent to six Fourth Tier Origin Crystal.
Of course, this was also due to subsequent attacks. The Calamity Beast were not as frenzied as the first time, which is why Shen Heng could only kill them one by one while defending against them.
In short, over the past month or so, many people have not been as efficient at acquiring Origin Crystal as they were during the first Beast Tide.
Having experienced the high efficiency of the first time, when the efficiency later declined, I couldn't resist trying to compensate in other areas.
Shen Heng pondered this thoughtfully.
Han Ling, who was standing to the side, didn't seem to care much at first.
But after waiting for a while, they didn't hear Shen Heng refuse.
She frowned, looked at Shen Heng, and said seriously,
"It's best if you don't get involved in this kind of thing!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Heng's gaze involuntarily turned to Han Ling.
This is probably the attitude of the Great Xia towards this type of event.
There's no right or wrong in the incident itself; it's just that once you get involved, most people can't maintain their composure.
If you win, you want to win more; if you lose, you want to recoup your losses.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in that."
Shen Heng spoke calmly, then turned his gaze back to Lü Wenrui.
"You participated?"
"Hmm." Lü Wenrui nodded seriously.
"Looks like we've won!" Shen Heng said.
"Hehe..." Lü Wenrui laughed, "I won a little!"
"You still need to be careful, lest you lose everything," Shen Heng said.
"No, I've been having pretty good luck lately!" Lü Wenrui said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Shen Heng was slightly taken aback.
His gaze swept carefully over Lü Wenrui's face.
"Is it possible that this is your ability coming into play, which means you might encounter bad luck later on?"
Lü Wenrui replied as if he had expected this, "Isn't this fine too!"
fine?
Just as Shen Heng was still feeling somewhat puzzled, Lü Wenrui continued.
"So, if I win, I get more Origin Crystal; if I lose, it means something good might happen to me later."
"..."
Is this what reverse thinking is?
Shen Heng glanced at Lü Wenrui speechlessly, then looked to the side.
Han Ling's lips were slightly parted, and she was probably thinking something similar to what I was thinking.
The only relatively normal one is...
Shen Heng looked at Tang Yuanyang, who was sitting next to Lü Wenrui and whose expression hadn't changed much, and suddenly understood why he had acted that way just now.
Tang Yuanyang had wanted to dissuade him, but because he had previously tried to dissuade Lü Wenrui and was rebuffed by that same statement, he hesitated and didn't speak immediately.
Shen Heng pondered for a moment, then asked:
"Your abilities aren't entirely related to luck, are they?"
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Lü Wenrui nodded and asked.
"In that case, be careful from now on. Don't lose and think it's just bad luck, and then keep betting because you think your skills came into play!" Shen Heng turned his gaze back.
Upon hearing this, Lü Wenrui began to think seriously.
After a moment, he slowly nodded.
"That is indeed something worth noting!"
After saying that, he looked at Shen Heng again.
"By the way, Brother Heng, do you know what we're going to talk about in today's meeting?"
Shen Heng did not reply immediately, but instead looked past Lü Wenrui and at Tang Yuanyang.
What does Brother Tang think?
