Chapter 88: Do I look like A Fool To You
With the two sects at war, no one knows what the future holds.
But Li Wei clearly understands that if the Li family wants to protect themselves in this disaster that could last for a hundred years, or even profit from it, strength is still paramount. Otherwise, what qualifications does the Li family have to talk about anything else?
However, the imminent threat of a sharp blade is also a driving force for people to improve.
[Amidst the news of the war between the two sects, your descendants have felt an unknown danger. In order for the family to continue under this disaster, they have begun to cherish every opportunity to strengthen the family's power.]
[Your family has gained the trait: Striving for Progress]
[Before the crisis ends, your family members will experience a 10% increase in both cultivation speed and comprehension. This will make them more adept at identifying opportunities for the family's growth and development. The current generation will carry the memory of this crisis, resulting in a permanent 10% boost to the effectiveness of the 'Striving for Progress' trait.]
A buff!
Li Wei's tense mood began to ease. After resolving the trouble in Tailin Town, the revenge buff had disappeared, and now the Li family had once again acquired a collective trait.
"As expected, no matter what the challenge, there's always an opportunity alongside it?"
It wasn't just the appearance of the game trait.
Even Li Wei had an epiphany!
He suddenly slapped his thigh.
"That's right! If I don't see this as a danger, but instead as an opportunity, everything changes!"
Li Wei immediately fixed his eyes on the screen.
It's true that the war between the two sects will put the Li family in unpredictable danger.
But as Li Yaowen said earlier, in this situation, the two major sects will be busy fighting each other, and they won't have time to deal with other matters. It's also because of this that there will be some opportunistic forces or individuals trying to take advantage of the chaos and gain benefits.
Then...
"Why should the Li family remain prey, waiting to be hunted, when they have the strength and opportunity to become the hunters themselves?"
"Suddenly, everything clicked into place."
Li Wei immediately wanted the Violet Tempest Python to call his descendants.
Just as he was clicking on the Violet Tempest Python's profile picture, intending to bring up the realization he had, He froze.
His descendants had entered the ancestral hall.
After everyone paid their respects as usual, Li Dalong said with a joyful face, "Ancestor, today when Yunbing came out of his cultivation in the Heaven-Piercing Coffin, he said he had been constantly beaten by the zombies on the first level. But later, after he took the initiative to attack, the path towards the end of the first level became much easier."
"So he asked me, 'Why can't our Li family take the initiative in this disaster caused by the two sects' war?'"
"Ancestor, I don't know if this foolish child is speaking sense or not. Please enlighten us!"
"..."
Li Wei's smile slowly faded, and he stared blankly at Li Yunbing on the game screen. It was this very person, with his innocent eyes and a face that practically begged to be tricked, who had uttered such words!
He remained frozen in place for a long while.
Li Dalong in the game also didn't receive any response from Li Wei, and he became somewhat anxious, almost wanting to urge, "Ancestor, please say something."
"I had the same idea as Li Yunbing, who gets tricked every day in the family?"
Li Wei gritted his teeth and clicked on the Violet Tempest Python's profile picture.
[Good.]
After entering the text, the Li family members received a response from the Violet Tempest Python and immediately cheered with joy.
"The Ancestor agrees, hahaha!"
"I told you Yunbing wasn't stupid, he could also come up with useful ideas."
"Grandson, follow me."
Li Wei gritted his teeth, pinching the flesh of his thigh tightly.
Calm down!
Must stay calm, can't smash the keyboard!
Immediately after, looking at the time flow rate on the screen, Li Wei felt relieved.
"It's okay, why should I doubt myself? Several days have passed in the game, and I came up with the idea quickly."
"Yes, that's right. My descendant can think like me, I should be happy. This proves he has grown up."
Just as he finished this thought, his phone rang. Li Wei answered the call, and Manager Qi's delighted voice came through, "Young Master Li, I sold everything and made a huge profit..."
"Manager Qi, do I look like a fool to you?"
"Ah? Why do you ask that so suddenly?" Manager Qi's voice faltered, then he said in a deep voice, "I know my reputation wasn't good before, but Young Master Li, rest assured, I swear on my life that from the moment I started cooperating with you, I would never take kickbacks."
"Hahaha."
Li Wei finally smiled. "It's easy to talk to smart people."
After hanging up the phone, Li Wei was finally relieved.
