The Little God Who Sells the Protagonist
Chapter 824 The Protagonist Was Pressed Out
Chapter 824 The Protagonist Was Pressed Out
While Wang Yichen was sneering there, on Jingyanggang, with a howl, a huge tiger with hanging eyes and a white forehead fell softly to the ground. After fluttering for a few times, it stopped moving. The tiger's head At the vital point, an arrow was inserted deeply.
And Wu Song, who still had a look of horror on his face, stood beside the tiger's body, holding a broken whistle stick in his hand, still in shock.
Wu Erlang didn't know that this tiger should have been bestowed on him by God to achieve his prestige. He was still immersed in the horror of encountering a fierce tiger on his way and did not recover.
And Wang Yichen's opponent, who manipulated his younger brother to shoot the tiger with one arrow, also looked depressed at this time, although shooting this famous "big eye-catching white-fronted tiger" brought her protagonist a lot of achievements in different dimensions .
"Bah, I actually want to do a mission for you bastard!" Wang Yichen's opponent looked like he had eaten a fly.
Just as Wang Yichen expected, his opponent didn't want to let Wang Yichen go so simply.After observing that Wang Yichen did not make any preparations for his main task, she could only help Wang Yichen solve this task, lest Wang Yichen be eliminated prematurely.
Although the ultimate goal is to better deal with Wang Yichen, the process still makes her feel uncomfortable--how dare she actually wipe a bastard's ass, it's disgusting, damn it disgusting--it's disgusting!
But at the same time as being disgusted, Wang Yichen, the opponent, felt a little relieved.Wang Yichen's performance in the past ten minutes and the fact that he couldn't even complete the main mission fully demonstrated that Wang Yichen was indeed just a new player in the arena who didn't know the heights of the sky.
Such a newcomer, I can easily play it to death!Wang Yichen's opponent also sneered, instructing his powerful thug-type younger brother to get close to Wu Song.
——————————————————————————————————————————
However, unlike what Wang Yichen's opponents imagined, after exiting from the protagonist's perspective mode, Wang Yichen's operation level began to rise steadily, and there was no more hectic situation.
However, Wang Yichen's operation method is quite strange. If his opponent can see the content of the script he edited, he will definitely not be able to help asking: "What are you doing?"
Wang Yichen's opponent, including the vast majority of players participating in the plane development battle, will try their best to let these plane natives provide benefits and conveniences for their protagonists when editing the action scripts of the plane natives.However, Wang Yichen ran counter to them. The action scripts he edited for the aborigines in the plane were actually the protagonists who let these aborigines suppress him!
This is very capricious, my dear!
However, what is surprising is that Wang Yichen's seemingly foolish behavior turned out to be surprisingly effective!
In the few days after the story of Wu Song's fight against the tiger, a group of drunkards with some status and wealth came to this small hotel inexplicably, and then they seemed to be reasonable, but in fact they were quite inexplicable about the wine in this small hotel. A person who picks up his nose horizontally and his eyes vertically.
The owner of the hotel was perfunctory, causing the group of people to lose their temper and almost tossed the hotel down.
At the critical moment, the protagonist Xiao Er took out his distilled liquor to try to save the scene.
The rescue process was also full of twists and turns, not only the group of drinkers didn't believe the hairless shop waitress and taunted him, even the hotel owner scolded the shop waiter protagonist, telling him not to be troublesome.
When the atmosphere was extremely tense and the group of drinkers were about to go crazy, the waiter in the store made an unexpected move. He smashed a bottle of high-grade liquor he had made directly on the ground, and the aroma of the wine immediately overflowed. .
The plot immediately took a turn.
The sultry aroma of the wine successfully attracted the attention of the group of drinkers, and the sales of the high-quality baijiu of the main character of the waiter in the store were successful.
Then, not surprisingly, the group of drinkers were completely conquered by the high-grade liquor served by the waiter, and their attitudes took a 180-degree turn.Moreover, the real identity of this group of people is not surprising, they are quite powerful wine merchants.
After this incident, the high-quality baijiu produced by the second protagonist in the shop became an instant hit. Not only did he get his first bucket of gold, he also relied on these wine merchants to connect with some big hotels in Yanggu County and even some noble people.
Then, it was the hotel colleagues in Yanggu County, including the former owner of the shop who was jealous of the performance of the second protagonist of the shop, and suppressed him in various ways.
Unexpectedly, under the pressure of all parties, the protagonist of this store, with all kinds of auspicious people and good fortune, not only did not collapse, on the contrary, he was able to unbelievably resolve the crisis and reap some benefits every time.
The result of being suppressed in this way is that the protagonist of the shop boy has established a firm foothold in Yanggu County in just one or two months, and the business is booming.
This result may surprise many gamers: why do the natives of the plane not help the protagonist, but instead come to cause trouble for the protagonist, and the result is that the protagonist can perform better?
But in fact, this is a hidden attribute of the protagonist's halo, that is, this kind of halo is actually strengthened by external suppression. The stronger the external suppression is, the more beneficial it is for the growth of the protagonist's halo.
The protagonist of Wang Yichen's shop waiter has both the aura of the protagonist and the aura of the traverser. In fact, he is not afraid of suppression at all.On the contrary, it was because of external pressure that activated his protagonist halo and traveler halo, and quickly changed from an otaku to a character.
Turn decay into magic, no matter whether it is reasonable or logical, this is where the protagonist's halo and the traveler's halo are truly powerful, and it is also their essence.
Moreover, the key to pretending to be coercive is actually to suppress.
Wang Yichen, who had written several street novels before time travel, knew very well that in fact, the essence of pretentiousness in YY novels does not lie in how majestic the protagonist is, but in how well the supporting characters suppress the protagonist.
The technique of creating YY points and creating a sense of refreshment is actually the same as playing with a spring. Only by pressing it down hard can it bounce higher.
There is no external pressure, and only the main character shows off his power alone. It is actually a very boring one-man show. Even if you allow the main character to destroy a planet with a snap of his fingers, or collapse a universe with a single fart, it will make people feel dull. tasteless.
But as long as the external pressure is in place, even if the protagonist only releases a little bit of prestige—such as teaching a dude a lesson, plotting against a villain, and saving a little beauty who has suffered from a villain, it will make people feel very refreshed.
Don't feel unhappy, don't abuse or feel uncomfortable.Human nature is cheap, first you have to be happy, first you have to be cruel.This is the best companion for pretending to be Dafa—to pull hatred for Dafa.
Therefore, in order to enhance the YY degree and refreshment of the plot, it is essential to suppress the main character by the supporting role.
However, this kind of suppression must be skillful and rhythmic.Just like the difference between pinching someone and massaging is nothing more than the difference in rhythm and strength of fingers, the difference between abuse and pretense also lies in whether the way of suppressing is skillful and rhythmic.
Wang Yichen understands these principles, but his opponents and most of the gamers don't understand. They still regard competitions such as plane development battles as online games, and only care about upgrading and fighting monsters to get benefits.
But Wang Yichen is arranging this kind of competitive event as a good show. He believes that only in this way can he get the most benefits.
The fact is indeed the case, Wang Yichen's shop assistant protagonist doesn't get too many achievements, but the plane achievements he got are very high, and he has gradually begun to catch up with his opponent's protagonist.
Especially after Wang Yichen took out his first hole card - the professional onlooker boy, the shop boy's journey of pretending to be aggressive is even more powerful, with twice the result with half the effort, and he is about to catch up from behind.
In this regard, Wang Yichen's opponent was shocked and anxious.
But after all, she is a top player who has been battle-tested in the underground arena for a long time, and has a high winning rate of over 90.00%. Shock and anxiety are not enough to make her lose her position, but instead make her fighting spirit rise.
A master is lonely, and any master will inevitably become excited when he meets a real opponent.
At the same time, Wang Yichen's opponent hated Wang Yichen even deeper—she thought Wang Yichen was a rookie before, but now it seems that he is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!
What annoyed Wang Yichen's opponent the most was that his plot also wiped the bastard's ass and helped him complete the main task. This is simply being played by the opponent!
Presumably when he killed the tiger, this bastard must have been hiding aside and laughing at his stupidity, right?This idea made Wang Yichen, an arrogant opponent who had hardly suffered any major setbacks in the underground arena, turn his nose crooked with anger.
Under the dual effects of fighting spirit and anger, Wang Yichen's opponent's strength has also been displayed at a super level.
Although every time her protagonist gets a little bit of achievement, the level of achievements she gets is much less than that of Wang Yichen's second protagonist, but this woman's operation level is too high and her brain turns too fast, and her protagonist's grades are much lower than Wang Yichen's. There are many more protagonists in the second shop, and when the quality is not good, they rely on quantity to top them, and they always overwhelm Wang Yichen in terms of plane achievements.
As time went by, Wang Yichen's operation became more and more proficient-don't forget, he was a master of the game before time-traveling-this also put more and more pressure on his opponent.
But no matter how great the pressure is, Wang Yichen, the opponent, has always gritted his teeth to maintain the advantage of the plane achievement, just like a small boat in the water, no matter how fast the water level rises, she can always stand on the water.
In the end, even Wang Yichen had to admit that his opponent was indeed more than one step better than himself in terms of operation, and he was a more powerful game master than himself.
This discovery made Wang Yichen a little frustrated. Young people these days really care about playing games.
More importantly, Wang Yichen's opponent is also very mentally strong.At this time, five or six months have passed in the plane of time. Because it is in slow-forward mode, it is more than ten hours in real time.
Even playing ordinary online games on the earth plane, playing non-stop for more than ten hours is enough, not to mention the game of plane development battle, which consumes at least ten times and a hundred times more mental energy than playing online games.
At this point, Wang Yichen was a bit overwhelmed, but his opponent was able to grit his teeth and fight Wang Yichen hard, and keep his own advantage. He is indeed a character.
It's no wonder that Ya was able to gain such a great reputation in the underground arena of the Wuye Group's Comprehensive Research Center.
In the competition between Wang Yichen and his opponent, the plot slowly moved forward, and finally reached another critical moment-it was time for Comrade Xiao Pan and Comrade Xiao Qing to look at Mung Dou.
This plot is very important to both Wang Yichen and his opponent, because both of them have main tasks related to the plot. Let them die like the original plot.
If the main plot can be completed, a lot of plane achievements can be obtained, otherwise, a lot of plane achievements will be deducted.This entry and exit was enough to widen the gap between Wang Yichen and his opponent and break the stalemate.
Considering that the current level achievements of the two sides are almost the same, and the strength of the two sides is also almost the same, once this wave of gap is widened, it is estimated that the final victory will be determined.
Therefore, for Wang Yichen and his opponents, this main mission is a matter of winning and never losing.
At this time, the winery of the second protagonist of Wang Yichen's shop has already established a name in Yanggu County, and has accumulated a lot of family assets in a few months, so he can be regarded as a small boss.
In addition, in the experience of being suppressed several times, the protagonist of this store has also got a little relationship with both black and white in Yanggu County, and can mobilize some resources.
The protagonist of Wang Yichen's opponent, on the other hand, has a good relationship with Ximen Qing, and with the help of the introduction of the tiger fighting brother, he also developed a relationship with Wu Song.Although I didn't make much money, I was able to mobilize some resources.
Basically, the quasi-upstarts are on par with the quasi-hooligans.
The two also entered the protagonist's perspective mode at the same time, ready to complete the plot.
At the same time, in the face of this crucial main task that could determine the outcome, the two of them no longer had any reservations, and they took out all the cards in their hands.
Wang Yichen took out his strategist-type master card and transport brigade captain-type dragon set card.
His opponent, on the other hand, took out a white quality, beautiful master-type master card, and a white-quality, sacrifice-to-life protector-type dragon set card.
The three cards chosen by Wang Yichen's opponent are almost all types with considerable combat effectiveness.From this point, it can be seen that this woman is a master who likes to have a hard anus and solve problems with force.
In addition, her protagonist has already established the relationship with Wu Song, the number one military force in this plot, so in terms of force, Wang Yichen's side is considered to be at a disadvantage.
This result made Wang Yichen feel a little unhappy.After all, he is also a violent person who is very keen on frontal hard anus, and now he can only admit that it hurts him.
