Chapter 186 Zhou Zeshen invites a fight
Ning Xiangqian's life hanging by a thread is normal, but Ning Xiangguo's life hanging by a thread is the tiniest and most transparent.
According to Ning Zhuo's understanding of this magical power, he speculated that Ning Xiangguo either hid many secrets, or that he had someone else in mind and was not really relying on Ning Zhuo.
Considering the City Lord's Palace's penetration of the three major families and its obvious intelligence advantage, Ning Zhuo made a preliminary judgment: Ning Xiangguo was probably the spy developed by the City Lord's Palace!
Supernatural power - human life hangs on a thread.
As Ning Zhuo used it, he felt more and more its magical effects.
When Ning Zhuo activates, he can use the thread of human life to forcibly control the movements of others. As for the specific movements, the magnitude of the movements, etc., it will be determined based on the strength of both parties.
What Ning Zhuo tried was to extract the spirit of Yuan Dasheng and the soul of Sun Lingtong. But this was based on the willingness and cooperation of the latter two. For others, under the premise of resistance or ignorance,
Ning Zhuo was unable to do this.
At least that's the case for now.
"After the thread of life has been laid out, it has been there so far, and I have not been asked to add anything to it."
"Even if the life thread is not activated, I can still infer the target's hidden secrets and true thoughts through the state of the thread."
This means that Ning Zhuo can detect the "loyalty" of his subordinates to a certain extent.
This is already quite impressive!
Not to mention, there are other magical uses of power.
"In addition, after planting the thread of life, the Qi numbers can be gathered together and added up completely."
"No matter how you look at it, this magical power is a supreme weapon for business forces!"
"I wonder what it will be like when the lotus blooms and reaches the magical power of the final transformation."
Ning Zhuo became more and more curious about the answer to this question.
Regarding Ning Xiangguo, Ning Zhuo just pretended that he didn't know anything about it and still entrusted him with important responsibilities.
It has to be said that among all the foundation-building monks, Ning Xiangguo is the one who has high vision and handles things carefully. It is easy to put people at ease when entrusting the task to him.
In comparison, although Ning Xiangqian ranks first in combat power and was once the deacon of the family war hall, he is still not as reliable as Ning Xiangguo.
After Ning Zhuo dealt with the black market affairs, he entered the house again to practice hard.
He keeps outings to a minimum.
The spell exchange that used to happen once every three days has been changed to once every five days.
The content of communication has also changed.
In the past, it was just a matter of discussing and exchanging spellcasting ideas and experiences. Now, there is an additional link of commenting on the creations of the agency.
These classmates of Ning Zhuo would take out the explosive monkeys they made in Chen Cha's workshop and hand them over to Ning Zhuo.
After Ning Zhuo checked it, he commented on the hot monkey one by one.
Every time he pointed out the shortcomings, he could make it simple and easy to understand, making the makers suddenly realize it. Ning Zhuo would also tell them how to make the mechanism better and faster.
This behavior greatly benefited his classmates in the modification team.
Therefore, Ning Zhuo's authority in everyone's minds was completely consolidated.
When Ning Zhuo encountered an artifact that met the standard, he took out the spirit stone in public and purchased it on the spot at the market price.
Seeing that their agency creations were fortunate enough to be acquired by Ning Zhuo, all the parties concerned held their heads high.
If there are any innovative gadgets, Ning Zhuo will also offer pills or spiritual food in exchange. This is a higher level of recognition, and the young monks who receive such treatment are all very happy.
Zhou Zeshen was sitting in a corner, watching this heated scene with a sparkle in his eyes.
"The stars are shining over the moon, Ning Zhuo has completely taken control of this team."
"As for the Ning family's renovation team, the Ning family's main lineage has very few people, and the branches are the mainstream. In other words, Ning Zhuo has basically become the actual person in control of the Ning family's renovation team."
Ever since Zhou Zeshen was summoned by the head of the Zhou family and ordered to build a good relationship with Ning Zhuo, he has been actively inviting Ning Zhuo to him in an attempt to increase the frequency of meetings and promote cooperation between the two parties.
As a result, Ning Zhuo had been studying hard these days and declined all invitations from Zhou Zeshen.
Zhou Zeshen was very persistent, and Ning Zhuojian always refused. He told Zhou Zeshen that he would organize an exchange meeting for the modification team every five days. If Zhou Zeshen was interested, he might as well come and talk. Otherwise, he would have to wait until
Seven days later, Ning Zhuo had the opportunity to travel and finance a visit to the Salesian Kindergarten.
Zhou Zeshen participated decisively and found a corner in the courtyard to sit down.
He watched with cold eyes and soon discovered that among the Ning family, there was one person who was out of tune with the warm atmosphere.
"It's Ning Ji, Ning Zhuo's cousin."
Zhou Zeshen would not pay special attention to a small person like Ning Ji.
But Zhou Ze remembered all the information about Ning Zhuo, and therefore knew about Ning Ji.
"This guy once took the initiative to ask Ning Zhuo for a piece of the pie when he was highly rewarded by his master. He wanted to borrow Ning Zhuo's magic weapon to practice."
"In the end, he was severely rejected by Ning Zhuo."
Zhou Zeshen looked at Ning Zhuo again, admiring in his heart.
So far, Ning Zhuo has handled it perfectly!
Once Ning Zhuo let go, he would undoubtedly fall into a pit.
Such unconditional help will only encourage others' greed and lead to ghosts.
How can a person like Ning Ji ever be satisfied?
In the same way, it will also inspire more similar people to swarm up and cling to Ning Zhuo.
Over time, no matter how large a family fortune is, it will suffer heavy losses.
On the surface, it seems to be popular and full of flowers, but in fact it is all an illusion!
Once Ning Zhuo stops helping, the expectations of others who have benefited will be disappointed, and resentment and even hatred will arise.
Therefore, Ning Zhuo refused verbally from the beginning, which seemed very clean and tidy.
Next, his actions are the focus!
Ning Zhuo directed many classmates to participate in the creation of the popular monkey organization.
As for the machine monkeys produced, Ning Zhuo will inspect and evaluate them. Then he will use spiritual stones to purchase most of them. Individual outstanding ones will also receive other rewards.
After such a move, although Ning Zhuo still gave away resources, it was not free, nor was it given to those who just stretched out their hands and wanted to get something for nothing.
This forms a positive cycle, and more importantly, determines the background of the team——
Fair and fair!
Every comment made by Ning Zhuo was open and clear, which resulted in clear rewards and punishments, openness and transparency. He put an end to personal corruption, created a positive atmosphere, and won more people's hearts.
Zhou Zeshen looked at Ning Zhuo, who was talking freely and smiling in front of him. It was hard for him to imagine that Ning Zhuo was once a marginal figure from a branch background!
"Shouldn't such a person be cultivated by the family from an early age and taught face to face by the elders?"
"This is the knowledge and means that only monks who have been trained as heirs since childhood have."
Who would have thought that Ning Zhuo would have such skills?
Zhou Ze thought to himself: "Ning Zhuo is very good at hiding his edge. He hides it very well!"
"It was because we didn't expect him to be such a person, so the main line of the Ning family suffered a big loss this time."
Understandable.
A normal sixteen-year-old young monk spends most of his life in school. What does he know?
Especially Ning Zhuo, whose parents died when he was young and was adopted by his uncle. He has been harshly criticized and treated poorly since he was a child.
"How could he have such knowledge, such vision, and such skill?"
Zhou Ze couldn't figure it out.
He believed that the main reason for the Ning family's main line being defeated was that he underestimated the enemy, thinking that he could easily defeat Ning Zhuo by using this strategy.
As a result, Ning Zhuo resolved it easily.
Ning Zhuo avoided the trap, organized his classmates, and then used his tricks to intervene in the black market, allowing the main line of the Ning family to steal the chicken but lose the rice!
Now Ning Zhuo has become the master of the black market.
Sixteen years old, the master of the black market on the third level of Qi Refining!
He also commands nearly twenty foundation-building monks, and these foundation-building monks are not ordinary and can be regarded as elites in foundation-building.
This series of actions by Ning Zhuo made Zhou Zeshen marvel in his heart and exclaimed that it was wonderful.
Zhou Zeshen is good at strategy and likes this kind of confrontation of wits and strategies very much.
In his opinion, the game of righteousness is far more interesting, deeper, more connotative, and more worth savoring than fighting with real swords and guns!
"Among the four major Qi-refining geniuses in Fire Persimmon City, only Ning Zhuo is like me. We are the same type of people!" Zhou Zeshen's favorable impression of Ning Zhuo increased significantly.
He admired Ning Zhuo and was quite envious at the same time.
"What is the difference between Ning Zhuo's current power and that of his elders?"
"Although I have talent, I am restricted in every aspect of my family. Even though I am the son of the elder, I am still like this and not very free."
"How can there be such scenery as Ning Zhuo?"
“What’s more important is the profits!”
"What Ning Zhuo is getting now is the income from the black market."
"Oh, yes. These members of the renovation team also follow Ning Zhuo's lead. These are his manpower, for his use!"
After Ning Zhuo finished commenting on all the mechanical creations, he began to exchange his magic experiences.
Zhou Zeshen listened quietly, and became more and more surprised in his heart - it turned out that Ning Zhuo's talent was not only in mechanical skills, but also had a terrifying understanding of traditional magic.
The five rankings are all people from the City Lord's Mansion.
The Zhou family and the Zheng family still know nothing about the rewards from the rankings.
The more Zhou Zeshen listened, the more entranced he became, and a look of obsession gradually appeared on his face. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he couldn't help but feel that this listening session had such huge benefits.
When it came to the question and answer session, Zhou Zeshen also participated and asked a few questions aloud.
Ning Zhuo thought carefully before giving a detailed answer.
Zhou Ze was deeply touched and gained a lot, and sincerely thanked him.
This made the other Ning family monks feel quite proud, feeling that Ning Zhuo had "impressed" the Zhou family genius with his personal talents.
Zhou Zeshen did not just ask for anything. He knew very well that he was here to show off and build a relationship with Ning Zhuo.
During the exchange, he also elaborated on his experience in casting spells, and took the initiative to invite Ning Zhuo to an open mechanism showdown for everyone present.
Ning Chen, Ning Yong and others all had their eyes shining with anticipation.
Ning Zhuo only thought about it for a moment and then decisively agreed: "Then please give me some advice from Brother Zhou."
He has always wanted to compete with Zhou Zeshen and Zhou Zhu to experience the Mudflow Sect's mechanisms.
Now, Zhou Zeshen took the initiative to bring it up, which was simply touching Ning Zhuo's heart.
How could Ning Zhuo not agree?
