Chapter 450: Jump Jump
Secret Realm Strategy Rule #1: Don't be greedy.
Opportunities often come with risks. In life, there aren't that many loopholes to exploit.
The livelier a place is, the more dangerous it is.
Just like now, everyone is immersed in the joy of picking up treasures, indulging themselves, except for Zhang Chi, who is feeling anxious.
So many pies have fallen, how terrifying must the hooks behind be?
This place seems to be the Buddhist Gate Secret Realm. Zhang Chi doesn't dare to kill easily, afraid of committing taboos. Otherwise, he would have taken the boat directly at the beginning.
Currently, Zhang Chi's state is to prefer doing nothing rather than making mistakes.
Being cowardly may not always be right, but it will definitely not be wrong.
At this moment, Zhang Chi deeply understands how correct the saying "people die for wealth, birds die for food" is.
At the beginning, when they saw the treasures, some people still remained rational and didn't act rashly.
But as others gained more benefits, they couldn't help themselves and joined in the frenzy.
The wind is getting stronger, but those who are focused on grabbing treasures don't notice.
The speed of the boat is also getting faster. In the eyes of the crowd, it's just that the difficulty of grabbing treasures has increased.
They have immersed themselves in this game and have lost a clear perception of the changes in the outside world.
"It's not a good idea to continue following this pirate ship."
At this point, Zhang Chi doesn't dare to follow the ship anymore.
He opens his storage ring and takes out a large boat that is over ten meters long.
This kind of boat is considered large on a river, but it's not worth mentioning in the sea.
However, Zhang Chi doesn't have time to think about it now.
After throwing the boat down, he immediately jumps onto it with Long Yan. This small boat is like a leaf on the sea, but Zhang Chi would rather stay on the small boat than follow the people on the big boat.
Zi Mian and Tang Ruoling naturally follow him. At this moment, Zi Mian doesn't care about disguising anymore.
After Zhang Chi and the others get off the boat, the speed of the escort boat increases.
But Zhang Chi clearly sees that the waterline of the boat is getting higher, as if the things carried on the boat are getting heavier.
Unfortunately, the people on the boat still haven't noticed. They are happily fishing for treasures.
"This boat is done for."
Zhang Chi feels that something is wrong just by looking at the situation.
But the escort boat is fast and soon disappears from their sight. Zhang Chi and the others can't see it anymore.
The places where the escort boat has passed still leave behind some treasures.
However, Zhang Chi doesn't dare to look at those treasures anymore.
"Focus and don't look at those treasures anymore."
With Zhang Chi's reminder, Zi Mian and Tang Ruoling know better and close their eyes, emptying their minds.
Zhang Chi has extremely strong willpower and ignores the temptation of the treasures.
However, amidst the golden light, he sees various beautiful women. They are wearing all kinds of provocative clothes, posing and flirting in the golden light, especially enticing.
Zhang Chi's face darkens instantly.
What? Am I an LSP (lecherous old man)?
Testing an old cadre in this way?
How naive!
Nothing is more important than Naifu's life!
Trivial lust, let's not mention it.
Zhang Chi doesn't dare to think too much or close his eyes.
In this black sea, who knows if there are any hidden dangers? Closing his eyes is no different from seeking death.
He can only rely on his astonishing willpower to remain vigilant and slowly pass by the golden light.
Perhaps because they didn't have anything to hold onto, the speed of the ship was far slower than that of the escort ship.
Moving at such a slow pace, Zhang Chi firmly resisted the temptation of the golden light. He didn't know how much time had passed, but finally, the golden orbs disappeared from his sight.
In their place, there were floating rocks arranged in a row ahead. On one of the floating rocks stood a stone tablet.
Controlling the ship to approach, Zhang Chi saw two lines of text written on the tablet.
"The human heart has three poisons, followed by eight sufferings."
Zhang Chi's eyes lit up instantly. Wasn't this the hint for clearing the level?
This is the Sea of Bitterness, so what are the sufferings?
Zhang Chi was somewhat knowledgeable and naturally knew that the eight sufferings mentioned by the Buddhist Gate were birth, old age, sickness, death, separation from loved ones, encountering enemies, not getting what one desires, and being unable to let go.
As for the three poisons of the human heart mentioned by the Buddhist Gate, they were greed, anger, and ignorance.
Although Zhang Chi hadn't studied Buddhist teachings in depth, fortunately, he had read many novels and had some scattered understanding.
According to the meaning of this stone tablet, it meant that the eight sufferings in life are all caused by the three poisons of the human heart.
If one can avoid the three poisons, they can naturally escape the Sea of Bitterness.
This was the hint from the stone tablet.
And they could be considered to have passed the level named "greed" since they had been tempted by greed but hadn't acted on it.
However, greed was easy to break, but anger wasn't so easy. This row of floating rocks blocking their path was a new level.
After Zhang Chi read the hint, the text on the stone tablet changed.
"The floating rocks are like a forest. Please enter on your own. Step on the rocks and move forward. The first to jump over a hundred will pass, and the others will follow. After nine jumps, success can be achieved. If one person falls into the water, four people will return to their original positions."
This was the new set of rules for the Sea of Bitterness.
Four people had to jump over the floating rocks in order, with the first person jumping a hundred times before the others could proceed. After nine jumps, it would be considered a completion. If someone fell into the water, they would have to start over.
At this moment, Zhang Chi and the others' ship had already stopped in front of the floating rocks. Although these floating rocks were drifting, they perfectly blocked the ship from drifting away.
Looking ahead, all they could see were densely packed floating rocks, truly like a forest, extending into the distance.
The previous level had been easily passed, but the escort ship had disappeared without a trace. Zhang Chi didn't know if it had sunk to the bottom of the sea forever.
Looking at these floating rocks, Zhang Chi understood what the challenge of this level was.
The three poisons, greed, anger, and ignorance.
This level was definitely testing anger.
This game was somewhat similar to the WeChat mini-game "Jump Jump" that he had played before.
The difference was that this was the Perfected Being version and it was a team game.
He would get angry if he fell into a pit while playing a game by himself, so if a teammate fell in, he would definitely be even angrier.
So Zhang Chi quickly reminded the conscious people, "Stay calm later. No matter what happens, keep a calm mind and a pleasant mood, understand?"
"Mm."
Both of them nodded in agreement, but Zhang Chi helplessly looked at Long Yan.
She was the one causing him the most headache. Since she hadn't woken up since she fell unconscious, how could she jump?
"Anyway, I'll go and try first. Take care of her," Zhang Chi handed Long Yan over to Tang Ruoling, then jumped onto one of the floating rocks. As soon as he stepped on it, the rock immediately sank, startling Zhang Chi into jumping again.
He usually paid attention to lightness and agility, so this challenge wasn't particularly difficult for him.
Effortlessly, he jumped over a hundred floating rocks.
Afterward, a brand new stone appeared in front of him, and when he stood on it, it didn't sink.
Now, he had to wait.
Soon after, Tang Ruoling also jumped over. Her skills were not bad either.
Next...
"Zi Mian, use the puppet to carry Long Yan over!"
