The Fool of the Gods

The masked man couldn't stand it anymore.

He no longer responded to the "barking" from the audience, but stood up straight again with a hearty smile, and said loudly to everyone in the entire venue:

"The splendor of life is just like the present moment. There will always be various unexpected episodes, but no matter how happy these episodes are, most of them are just embellishments, and will not become the main theme of life, let alone the climax of the movement of life, right?

So let's get to the point.

My last name is indeed Gong. If you don't mind, you can call me 'President Gong'. As the convener of the Yongren Club, I think I barely deserve the title of 'President'."

But it is obvious that most of the players are not impressed by his words. The people present have no idea what kind of organization the Yongren Club is. No one would be willing to find a "leader" for themselves right away, especially when this leader is completely unknown.

So after listening to President Gong's words, the venue became lively for a while.

Most of the players were complaining in their hearts, and at most they would just murmur quietly, but there were also some bold players. Someone suddenly howled in the distance of the terraced seats:

"It's so funny. You didn't say anything about what the Yongren Club is. Instead, you were eager to define your identity at the beginning. President Gong, aren't you too greedy?

Are you a [degenerate] believer who embraces the desire for power?

Well, not really. You don't look that fanatical...

You give me the feeling of a nouveau riche who gives alms to beggars on the street. You are not too crazy, but you are a little arrogant.

Eh? Are you a [stupid] idiot?"

"..."

Everyone looked back in astonishment, but saw that the place where the sound came from was actually empty.

It is a very crazy thing to change positions in an instant in front of thousands of people in the entire venue. It is highly likely that so many eyes cannot be hidden, so the questioning voice is likely to be a false voice. Someone is afraid of exposing himself, so he moved the source of the sound.

Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows and felt that things were getting interesting.

Obviously, not all the people present were mediocre. At least some of them were very capable and could be sarcastic.

However, although this old man was questioning President Gong on the stage, his words also showed his disdain for [Filth] and [Foolish].

The followers of [Filth] were easy to deal with. They were addicted to their own desires and would not get angry because of a little quarrel, but [Foolish]...

The followers of [Foolish] would never tolerate him, so as soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of contempt in the venue.

"Don't know what you mean."

"Stupid."

"They are all mediocre."

"Stupid!"

"..."

Cheng Shi wanted to laugh when he heard it. Not only him, but even President Gong, who was scolded, laughed.

He laughed three times on the stage, then pressed his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and patiently explained to everyone:

"This has nothing to do with my faith. It is normal for you to have suspicions and doubts, but what I want to say is that the reason I called you to the meeting is not to elevate myself, nor to grab any benefits from you, but to...

Everyone here!

Don't interrupt me in a hurry. I know that with the development of [Faith Game], everyone may not believe in selfless good people.

But coincidentally, I am one of them.

To be honest, I have participated in too many trials, endured too much suffering, and witnessed enough tragedies.

I know how you climbed up step by step from 1200 points, and I also know that ordinary people in this end of the world where [Gods] come. How difficult it is to survive.

Not everyone has the talent to climb to the front of the audience ladder, and not everyone has the luck to cross the threshold of 2000 points. I really can't bear to let more compatriots disappear in the long river of time, so I have the idea of ​​establishing a mediocre association.

Admit it, everyone, we are all mediocre!

Today, when the gods have descended and the sparks of mankind are gradually extinguished, geniuses can go all the way alone in the wind and snow, but mediocre people can't. We need to keep warm together. Only by gathering together and helping each other can we go further!

Just like the mutual aid associations in various regions, we can only withstand greater wind and snow by holding each other's hands, and climb the highest peak like those geniuses to see the scenery on the other side of the mountain! "

President Gong's story was passionate, but too few people bought into his tricks.

The believers of [Foolishness] directly started the second round of ridicule, and some even said loudly and contemptuously:

"What a waste! Since the mutual aid association can already help each other, why do we need a mediocre association to point fingers?? "

President Gong laughed loudly. He looked at the "idiot" believer standing in the back row and smiled and responded:

"Not all people in the mutual aid association are mediocre. My friend, please use your smart brain to think about it. If you were the one with the highest score in the mutual aid association, would you bother to drag those low-scoring players? "

"? "

Everyone looked back and saw that this [Foolish] believer frowned and didn't say anything.

Obviously he wouldn't.

But after seeing this scene, Cheng Shi's mouth curled up slightly.

This President Gong is a bit interesting.

The question he asked was not very sophisticated, because since it is a mutual aid society, those who join it are naturally willing to lend a hand to others, so this question is simply meaningless.

But!

His level of selecting people to respond is very high.

You must know that the one who questioned him was a [Foolish] believer, who would never join any mutual aid society. His questioning was only based on self-logical reasoning.

From his point of view, mutual aid societies should not exist. He only sees the hypocrisy and affectation in them. This kind of organization is useless except for holding people back.

So, President Gong on the stage actually took a trick. He used a meaningless question in exchange for An inevitable affirmative answer, and by the way, he cleverly choked back the foolish believer with the logic of foolishness.

Although this move was not so brilliant, as long as it was better than the doubter, it was enough to add points to his image in the hearts of the people.

After all, this was a gathering of "mediocrities".

Even though there were many smart people mixed in, smart people never said anything. President Gong probably understood this point, so he used this method to fight back against a foolish believer.

But then again, this foolish believer was probably really a mediocre person...

At least the score would not be too high.

Sure enough, the foolish believer who spoke contemptuously fell silent. He wanted to say something, but he had nothing to say.

President Gong smiled slightly and said again:

"This friend seems to understand that not all people in the mutual aid association are mediocre, but we... are all.

Even if you may not accept it in your heart, you have to say that compared to those high-ranking players, we may be nothing.

All beings are equal below 2000 points, so rather than saying that we are all mediocre, it is better to say that we are all a group of poor people with similar levels.

In this case, poor people should stop scheming and pulling each other. If all friends can work together with the mediocre club, maybe we will have a place on the ranking list in the future. "

As soon as President Gong finished speaking, Chen Shuo, who was stepped on the ground, raised his head and spoke again.

"There are a total of 8 rankings on the ladder of audience. Even if you count the road to becoming a god, there are only a few hundred people with names.

But there are at least a thousand people in this venue. Old Gong, when the mediocre club becomes prosperous, who among us brothers should go first and who should go later?"
