Chapter 608

The story that Long Wang and Zhen Yi have to tell

(Warrior, no need for more salt!)

The other party's knowledge was very profound. After all, she was the helmsman supported by the power of an organization. Her momentum of quoting classics and talking endlessly made even Li Jingming, a 【Memory】 chosen one, almost bow down.

But Long Wang was not weak either. At least in terms of the breadth of his understanding of the history of the Continent of Hope, he also provided detailed research and sharp comments.

Thus, the two of them tied, and it seemed that they cherished each other because of their respective historical foundations.

But what Long Wang didn't expect was that not long after, the other party changed her face directly. This capricious helmsman of the Historical School refused his joining on the grounds that Long Wang had not won, and ordered that the Historical School would not be allowed to have any dealings with Long Wang from then on.

To be honest, Long Wang, who thought he had found a like-minded person, was confused for a long time by this inexplicable rejection, but he was only confused and didn't feel that he had suffered a loss. After all, compared to the history he shared, what he heard from the helmsman of the Historical School was even more complex and shocking.

No matter how you calculate it, this cannot be considered a losing business.

But unexpectedly, as he learned more about the Continent of Hope later, Long Wang discovered that all the history that the helmsman of the Historical School told him that he didn't know... was fake.

Only then did he realize that he had been deceived, and the person who deceived him was Zhen Yi.

"..." After hearing these things, there was not a trace of mockery or playfulness in Cheng Shi's eyes, only sympathy.

At this moment, the two people who had been played by Zhen Yi empathized with each other.

What bad luck!

However...

This is also called not suffering a loss?

Long Wang, haven't you lost your pants?

If you can count this as not suffering a loss, then when I faced that unlucky thing, it can almost be counted as a small profit!

He looked at the other party with a frown, his eyes peculiar. Li Jingming seemed to see Cheng Shi's doubts and smiled:

"【Memory】 is the appearance of 【Existence】, but what it remembers is not just the appearance."

"In that fake memory exchange, although I failed to record a real history of the Continent of Hope, I recorded a vivid, flesh-and-blood, and... interesting person."

"That was my biggest gain, a gain no less than a wonderful memory."

"..."

Cheng Shi was numb. He didn't understand 【Memory】, but he felt that Long Wang had gained nothing in the confrontation with Zhen Yi. This was purely a spiritual victory method.

At this moment, the halo of Long Wang on Li Jingming gradually faded, and the image of Ah Q slowly merged with the other party.

But putting aside these things, one point Cheng Shi guessed right, and that is that Long Wang is indeed recording others all the time.

I knew it, a dog... 【Memory】 cannot change its memory.

He smiled in his heart, and then looked at Li Jingming with a straight face:

"Long Wang, you are not authentic!"

"Although we are exchanging memories, you are silently remembering me at this moment outside of the transaction. I gave my current image, but did not get a corresponding exchange. If this were put in the past, it would be called an infringement of personal privacy."

"Of course, I don't care much about these, but as a beneficiary of memory exchange, you..."

"Don't you want to show some sincerity?"

"..."

Li Jingming froze. Although that was the case, in the past, no one would think like Cheng Shi. The exchange of memories is only counted in the communication. Being able to remember the other party is obviously because of the innate talent of 【Memory】 followers. How can this be counted as something within the transaction?

However, he also roughly figured out Cheng Shi's temperament. Although this clown who doesn't forgive others with his mouth is greedy enough, it cannot be ruled out that the other party is deliberately distorting and smearing his own image.

【Deception】 is also an appearance, Li Jingming never forgot.

"Okay, then what do you want?"

"I think the part you just had with Zhen Yi wasn't told completely. Otherwise, with Zhen Yi's temperament, if she could win a big step over you, she would have publicized it to everyone. The fact that this matter didn't explode means she really didn't win you."

"As for why, it's definitely not because of your spiritual victory method."

"What did you actually earn from Zhen Yi?"

"Smart, and sharp."

"Cheng Shi, you are very powerful. Many people have convinced themselves after hearing this. It's rare that you still want to get to the bottom of it."

"But the following content is part of Zhen Yi's memory again. What are you going to exchange with me for it?"

Cheng Shi rolled his eyes: "I will clarify the conditions you agreed to at the moment."

"This is the content of the previous round of exchange. Chips cannot be used for repeated payment."

"But I can also speak unclearly, letting you continue to practice your 【Memory】 path with a burden."

"I found out, you are a person who keeps your word. You don't like to default on debts."

"Fortunately, I am not. I am a liar. I have thick skin, and I have no psychological burden to default on debts." Cheng Shi spread his hands, looking like "I'm just playing dirty, what can you do about it."

"..."

Li Jingming's eyelids twitched fiercely, and he stared at the other party for a long while before convincing himself to take this small loss.

"Zhen Yi at that time was too young, and she liked to show off her skills."

"Show off skills?" Cheng Shi was stunned.

"Yes, the history she told was generally correct, but many of the details were wrong, especially the more important the details, the more severely she distorted them. This is what I call showing off skills."

"She was deliberately confusing the key points of real history."

"But the problem is, the truth is the truth after all. When I gradually pieced together these chaotic histories, thanks to her 'guidance', I was able to use this logic to look for the key nodes and core information of history."

"It is precisely because of this that I dug deep into many truths in one memory after another that I had ignored and that only the Historical School had mastered."

"So her showing off skills told me more historical inside stories in disguise."

"It's just that Zhen Yi, who became more shrewd later, knew about this, and naturally became more unhappy with me."

"..."

You two really have a lot of heart. Adding up the brains of the followers of 【War】 and 【Chaos】 probably doesn't compare to you two.

Cheng Shi clicked his tongue with emotion, thinking that Long Wang really doesn't lose to Zhen Yi.

"Okay, I've explained it clearly. What about you, Cheng Shi? What exactly is your condition?"

Hearing Long Wang's urging, Cheng Shi's eyes lit up, and he finally became serious. He looked at the other party, raised a mysterious smile, and then leaned close to the other party and whispered:

"I think you are very suitable for us, so I want to invite you... to join us."

"?" Li Jingming frowned, realizing that this "us" in Cheng Shi's mouth didn't seem as simple as an ordinary organization. "Who are you?"

Cheng Shi took out a mask, covered it on his face, and saluted elegantly:

"The Clown."

"A group of... liars who use absurd art to tell the story of 【Nothingness】 to please the whole world."
