Chapter 2239 Happy Dragon Boat Festival!!! Please give me a monthly ticket!!!

Now Nar can't interfere with Gel, but the influence of the previous interference has not subsided. Gel still follows the influence of the Black Death Sword and intends to continue the so-called plan... that is, using the Rainbow Bridge to go to the altar!

In fact, it’s not that Gel didn’t think of other ways... But don’t forget that Gel himself is just an ordinary person who knows nothing. He knows very little about the secrets of the universe and has no so-called overall view. If you ask him to think about the future path, he can’t figure it out.

He thought about continuing to hunt the gods.

However, he soon gave up.

Honestly speaking, simply hunting down gods to satisfy the desire for revenge is already bland and boring.

At first, Gel felt very refreshed about being able to kill the gods.

Psychologist Freud said a long time ago that aggression can make people happy. Research results also show that we want revenge because we expect to feel pleasure and pleasure after revenge. But revenge will make you keep thinking about the pain you have experienced in the past, so in the long run it will make you unhappy.

How do you talk about revenge?

Sometimes, it’s not as good as we imagine.

David Chester, assistant professor of psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University, said that we choose revenge because we think it will make us feel better. In an experiment, researchers invited 167 subjects to play video games and secretly arranged for several players to deliberately ignore some of the subjects. Afterwards, the researchers told the ignored subjects that they could choose to turn up the volume of other players' headphones to "teach them a lesson." But before they made their choice, some of the ignored subjects were given cognitive enhancer drugs that were actually placebos, and claimed that the drug had a 60-minute mood stabilizing effect. The results showed that most of the ignored subjects would turn up the volume of other players' headphones; while the subjects who took the placebo were less likely to do so. This shows that as long as the mood is calm, we are less likely to seek revenge. From the above experiment, we can see that repelling bad mood is one of the reasons why humans take revenge. Other studies have also pointed out that revenge may enhance positive emotions, but the effect does not last long. Chester explained that revenge made the subjects happy at the moment, but when they were followed up 5, 10, and 45 minutes later, they found that the subjects' mood was even lower than before revenge.

Research by Timothy Wilson, a psychology professor at the University of Virginia, shows that participants who had taken revenge expected to feel good after taking revenge, but they were actually in a worse mood than those who had not taken revenge, and it was more difficult for them to get out of negative emotions. Research by Kevin Carlsmith, a psychology professor at Colgate University, shows that revenge can intensify our anger. This is because repeatedly thinking about how to take revenge, recalling the other party's evil deeds, etc., will disrupt our emotional health. On the other hand, participants who did not choose to retaliate were able to downplay everything with an attitude of making a big deal out of a small matter, and telling themselves that it was okay not to take revenge, so they were more likely to let go of the past and get out of negative emotions.

Revenge only brings a momentary psychological pleasure, but this feeling will soon fade away.

Moreover, the threshold for psychological pleasure will only get higher and higher!

Have you ever seen a child? They seem to have an eternal curiosity about the world, sounds, colors, animals, people, even a button, a handful of sand, everything, every existence, they seem to be very interested. I remember that when my little nephew was a little over one year old, he used to stand with his hand on the table leg next to him, holding a small building block in his hand, lifting it up and then letting it go, watching it fall with interest. The building block fell to the ground with a clapping sound, and he just laughed there. Then he bent down and picked it up, repeating this process over and over again until he was tired of playing.

Humans are really interesting when they are young. Everything around them seems to attract their attention and arouse their strong interest. This may be one of the reasons why children can be so easy to be happy. For them, the world is a new, flowing feast. When we grow up, we quickly get used to everything in the world and are no longer surprised by almost anything.

No matter how good something is, it is afraid of repeated stimulation. Continuous and repeated stimulation will raise your threshold. When we face repeated stimulation, we will automatically turn on the "do not disturb mode".

Let's take a slightly easier to understand example, let's take habits. Why do we gradually adapt to certain thoughts or behaviors and form a habit after long-term inhumane persistence and adaptation? In fact, this is related to the threshold, because we have slowly adapted to certain attributes of this activity in the constant stimulation, and the threshold for the stimulation of this activity will continue to rise in the adaptation, and people are very adaptable. Once a certain adaptation, that is, a habit, is formed, it will be difficult to change. In fact, this is a necessary survival mechanism. If the brain is always in the initial passive acceptance state, how much energy and resources will be wasted. I eat too much of my favorite food and get tired of it. I play my favorite songs on repeat too much and get tired of it. Decades ago, our ancestors were very happy to eat a steamed bun. Do you look down on a steamed bun now? For you, buying a house in Beijing or Shanghai may make you very happy. What about Wang Sicong? Maybe it's a little different.

This is called "diminishing marginal returns" in economics. Only when you try it for the first time can it be called amazing; each time you increase the supply of the same amount, the reward you get is gradually reduced. This is true physiologically and even more so psychologically: poor, rich, happy, sad, in any situation for a period of time, you will gradually adapt and lose the initial panic or elation.

Rich people may have a very high actual standard of living, but if they have expectations of it and take it for granted, then no matter how high their standard of living is, it will not satisfy them.

When something is repeated many times, your pleasure value will also decrease. The novelty we want is actually a kind of internal satisfaction.

And to put it bluntly, revenge is essentially about making oneself feel satisfied and heal one's inner wounds.

But the problem is, everything has already happened, and many things cannot be returned to the way they were before just by retaliating.

At least not here in Ger.

The suffering he endured still torments him, and his loved ones have long since left him.

So when the pleasure brought by hunting gods began to become increasingly weak as the psychological threshold became higher, the inner emptiness began to expand uncontrollably.

When the Black Death Sword was still affecting him, he couldn't really notice it... Or rather, even if he noticed it, he didn't have time to think about it. Because the Black Death Sword was always urging him to move on to the next step... His schedule was too full!

It was as if he did think about resurrecting his daughter, but soon his mind was distorted and he went to Earth to cause trouble.

He himself did not have a clear understanding of this.

Now that the influence of the Black Death Sword has faded, Gol's self-awareness has risen.

He began to think about this matter seriously.

What will he do next?

To continue hunting gods... He was not opposed to it, but he was not as enthusiastic as before.

Overthrow the gods?

He wanted to do it...but he didn't know how.

In fact, Ger is just like most of us ordinary people.

When faced with oppression, most people will think of resistance, but what next?

What should they do?

How to break the oppression?

I don’t know, I don’t understand, and I don’t have the courage.

Strength is not the most important determining factor here.

Just like the revolutionary martyrs in history, they chose to resist in the face of oppression and remained committed.

But can you say that they are all born saints and know what to do from birth?

No, that is historical nihilism.

No one is born knowing it, it’s just that people have different courage.

When faced with despair, the greatest resistance we ordinary people can offer is to splatter blood all over the place. This is basically the limit. We use our lives to make the most intense resistance, and then it will dissipate.

But those revolutionary martyrs were different. While they were resisting, they would unite more people, and then summarize the action route and action program, leading more people to stand up, forming an unstoppable tide!

But these things are easier said than done.

This requires great perseverance and courage!

Gel is just an ordinary person like me. Although he has power, he doesn’t know how to unite others, let alone how to lead everyone. He is not a leader, he is just an ordinary man!

Therefore, without the assistance of the Black Death Sword, he lacked an action plan.

He didn't know what to do.

So he instinctively continued along the path that the Black Death Sword had once given him.

How to do it?

Keep searching for the Rainbow Bridge!

To the altar!

But if you say that he didn't think about anything, that would be wrong.

He now has his own quest.

He no longer wants to destroy all the gods... He is just an ordinary person like you and me, he doesn't have any great ambitions, nor does he have any great pursuits. He only thinks about himself... This is not something to be ashamed of, after all, most people are selfish, it's okay, after all, we don't have the heart for grand narratives, we always care about the little things around us.

Food, clothing, housing, transportation, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

School, work, children, the elderly and this month's salary.

Everyone is the same.

So does Gel. He knows that the Pantheon is a cancer, but so what?

He might have felt sympathy for the millions of other mortals like him who were also oppressed.

But... after all, he is just an ordinary person, a pitiful ordinary person who has been tortured beyond recognition by despair and suffering!

He could not see the lights of thousands of homes, and could only focus on his own three acres of land.

Very humble, but very realistic.

……

Without the extreme operation of the Black Death Sword, Gel could only rely on his own brain to find a solution.

First of all, he knew one thing very clearly, that is, he couldn't kill his way into Asgard alone... In fact, he didn't have any extreme reaction to this matter.

You know, when he first gained power, he was determined to kill all those insects in the Pantheon.

But the reality is... He could indeed cause great damage to the Pantheon, but he couldn't break into the Pantheon alone and kill all those people. It can even be said that if it weren't for the Pantheon's group of insects, Gir himself would not have been able to cause such a big impact.

This thing is a bit like the early Qing Dynasty or the Jurchens in the Later Jin Dynasty. At that time, they never thought that they would be able to rule the Central Plains!

Opening various novels, movies and TV shows, we can easily see that Nurhaci, Huang Taiji and other former Qing leaders are ambitious and ambitious, as if the world is within their reach. They always ask others for advice on how to move into the Central Plains, as if they can enter the colorful world of the Central Plains tomorrow and command the four directions.

In fact, they wanted to establish their own local government in the northeast. In the battles with the Ming army, they won nine out of ten battles and were invincible. However, after each victory, the leaders of the Later Jin Dynasty thought it was a good time to make peace with the Ming Dynasty. However, due to the pressure and humiliation of losing territory, the Ming Dynasty never agreed to this request. So why did the Qing Dynasty keep making peace? The reason is very simple. They did not have the ambition to annex the world at that time. At least not at that time.

The Ming Dynasty was too large. Although the Qing Dynasty won many battles, killed generals and captured cities, the Ming Dynasty had a population of nearly 100 million, so this loss was almost insignificant. On the other hand, the population of the Later Jin Jurchens was pitifully small, and their territory was only a corner of Liaodong. At that time, Liaodong was far less than today's Northeast, with a population of only about one million. For the Qing Dynasty, they could not afford even one major defeat, which would shake their rule. Therefore, the Later Jin Jurchens actually had no confidence in defeating the Ming Dynasty, and therefore kept seeking peace after the war.

But they really didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would be so bad!

They were allowed to take over the world without knowing what was happening!

The Pantheon that Gel faced was very much like the late Ming Dynasty.

In fact, the Pantheon is very powerful, but the problem is that everyone has their own little thoughts, and no one is willing to fight for their life, and everyone wants others to fight for their life.

So all kinds of mysterious operations came about.

For example, when seeing friendly forces being attacked, instead of thinking about rescuing them, they run faster than anyone else.

For example, for selfish reasons, they would even let Ger go, or even personally backstab their allies... Many of the actions of the National Army have been done by the Pantheon...

Abstract mess 1

Such a good situation could be broken into this state, it's incredible... As I just said, the Later Jin Dynasty was weaker than the Ming Dynasty in every aspect, and it had no advantages at all except poverty. However, the Ming Dynasty court made all kinds of outrageous moves, which made people's scalps numb.

The Pantheon is much the same.

There are many contradictions between the various pantheons. After all, the structure of the Pantheon has not changed at all in the past ten thousand years. Many small pantheons have been suppressed by the big pantheons and have long wanted to turn the tables. There are also many contradictions within the big pantheons. For example, in the Olympian pantheon, Zeus and Hera split into two factions. This is not bad. The main thing is that even within the two factions, the main gods have their own little thoughts, just like a college girl dormitory, six people in seven groups... How can this be played!

This is still the Pantheon. Even in such a mess, Gur still can't get in.

What about Asgard?

Asgard is not the Pantheon, others are so united!

There is even less hope for Ger.

So Gel had no choice but to resort to despicable means!
