Bamboo Pole was a true erudite. He wasn't like Zhang Yingying, who did as she pleased. She fabricated things at will, and the words she quoted all had their origins. He laughed as he explained, "The original words are from the Book of Lord Shang. The virtuous do not conform to the common customs. Those who achieve great things do not conspire with the masses. The meaning is that those who achieve great things do not discuss with others too much. This is because foolish people do not understand what is going on after they accomplish something. Wise people can make accurate predictions in advance. If the wise and the foolish conspire together, they will often sink into excessive debate. It will affect their own judgment. "
Zhang Yingying grunted, "Where's the political correctness!?"
"Uh, it actually makes a bit of sense." Luo Nan quite agreed with this theory in his heart. He tried to use his own logic to participate in the discussion. "The mental turbid flow is indeed hard to control. The emotions and thoughts of the upper levels are far less solid and stable than the desires of the lower levels. It is extremely easy to be disturbed by external conditions. "
Zhang Yingying rolled her eyes at him. "Are you giving theoretical support to those bureaucrats?"
"Quite the opposite." Bamboo Pole and Luo Nan formed the same camp, but they seemed to be selling private goods. "I feel that the President, Her Majesty Empress Wu, Secretary He, and Boss Luo should refer to these words. They should cast off certain burdens and make more wise and farsighted choices."
"Hey, my boss and the President are also participating in the meeting over there."
Bamboo Pole chuckled twice. "Have you seen the minutes of the meeting? Are the opinions of the President and Her Majesty Empress Wu in there? "
Zhang Yingying was a bit startled, but she saw Bamboo Pole suddenly stop and stand still. His eyes stared straight at her. "No, definitely not! Because they won't participate in this sort of low-end, meaningless discussion and schemes. Every word said here is a compromise between right and wrong. This is how human society is. They just don't pay attention to it. On the other hand, Secretary He should be in quite a bit of pain right now. "
The group of people stopped because of Bamboo Pole. They listened to his speech. "The branch, the military, and the government. These three partners each have their own standpoint. They each have their own way of doing things. If you subdivide them further, you can divide them further. They interfere with each other, affect each other, and even conflict with each other. Therefore, right now, his butt was replacing his brain to think. At this time, asking Elder You to burn the tortoise shell, asking Gao Tianshi to take possession of it, or asking Mister Bai to enter his dream would be more reliable. Of course, now that we have Teacher Luo, things are actually easier to do — the ways of the world have changed, if you want to get things done and bypass certain established rules, it is actually unbelievably easy. "
Zhang Yingying was a little surprised. She clicked her tongue and said, "Bamboo Brother, I always thought that you were a 'hermit'. I didn't expect you to be a 'push-down', and a very radical one at that."
"I'm an educator." "I believe that the progress, dissemination, rigidity, and substitution of cognition are the key forces that dominate the course of the world."
Luo Nan blinked his eyes. He finally recalled the existence of the inner world. They wanted ability users to stand in the light and lead the world. They were the Push the Wall Faction. They wanted ability users to stand in the light and dominate the world. There was also the Hermit Faction. They were willing to maintain the status quo and even pull the distance a bit further. There was also the Supremacy Faction.
Bamboo Pole's self-described "education faction" sounded like a "push-down faction". Luo Nan didn't understand the specifics. He didn't quite understand, and he wasn't willing to go deeper. This sort of political attribute had never entered his logical cognitive system.
His experience in the misty maze of the clouds had taught him how dangerous it was to easily step foot into an unfamiliar system. It was the rejection of the rules and laws. According to the Virtual Brain's user manual, it could even turn an omnipotent god into a weak and powerless infant.
It was enough for him to court disaster in one place. Rather than thinking about those chaotic and unknown domains, it would be better to dig and eat in the one acre of land that he was more adept at.
The problem was that Luo Nan wanted to stay out of this matter, but Bamboo Pole had his eyes on him. He turned and said, "Boss, there's a term that I really like in your class."
"Huh?"
"It's the term that you passed on to Gym Master Xiu."
Luo Nan thought for a moment. "Stealing the Heavenly Flame?"
"That's right. Ever since the birth of humanity, we have faced a vast expanse of the unknown. There have always been genius-type heroes in history, helping ordinary people point out the path forward. Perhaps it was Prometheus, Suiren. Perhaps it was Newton. Perhaps it was Einstein. Perhaps it was the great savior of politics. They were navigators. When the human fleet sailed into and conquered the Blue Sea, some of these heroes became the overlords of the academic community. Some were sacrificed on the high platform. But it doesn't matter. To lead humanity, or at least a portion of humanity, to defy the heavens and change their fate, to step into a new domain, a new era, is an indelible achievement … Boss, as a genius, you have more of this possibility than the vast majority of people in this world. "
Luo Nan went, "Uh." He didn't know how to respond.
Though Zhang Yingying was secretly pleased to see Luo Nan being praised, she was afraid of blowing him up to the heavens and increasing the pressure. She pushed Bamboo Pole. "Hey, listening to your thoughts, you want to sacrifice Teacher Luo?"
"I'm just saying that when it comes to touching the unknown, Teacher Luo is ahead of the vast majority of people. If we don't rely on him at a time like this, are we supposed to rely on those dregs who don't even know where the danger lies? "
"Heh, so you're saying …. Hello, Bamboo Pole Dregs."
"Hello, Zhang Dregs."
Zhang Yingying and Bamboo Pole were both giggling. The two looked like they were arguing, but they weren't really angry. In terms of their standpoints, there was no essential difference between them.
Bamboo Pole stopped laughing, but he still persisted in his opinion. "I don't think that a BOSS who purely pursues law and logic, who doesn't hesitate to drive the turbid flow of people's hearts, will be the final target to be sacrificed."
"But he doesn't know how to navigate … …"
Halfway through her words, Zhang Yingying suddenly thought of the nickname 'Teacher Luo'. She choked on the second half of her words. Just the matter of the Blood-Intent Ring Fortress had opened up a new situation for the mental side, let alone anything else. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that such a method was' navigating ', right?
She never expected Bamboo Pole to actually express his approval. "Even if the BOSS can see one step, two steps, or even five steps, or ten steps more than a normal person, there's no guarantee that after ten steps, it'll be a golden path or a bottomless abyss. Of course, no one in this world can guarantee this. Even if all the Extraordinaries are tied together, it still wouldn't be enough. "
Luo Nan was helpless as he listened to the discussion revolving around him. He himself was unable to get a word in. He didn't understand whether Bamboo Pole's words were praise or advice.
Bamboo Pole's words took a turn at this time. "But from another perspective, the vast majority of people in this world don't really need others to teach them what to do. What they need is a reliance that comes from their instincts and inertia. It doesn't matter even if they are taught the wrong way."
"The sea of bitterness is boundless. The road ahead is long. How many people possess the courage and willpower to carve out a path within the boundless unknown? Therefore, the weak follow the old ways, the cowardly seek the gods and Buddha, and the excited pursue fame and fortune. In the end, they are just struggling within the circle drawn by the great men of the Thieving Heavenly Flame. "
"Finally, this circle is still expanding. It's rolling forward. It's going up, down, forward, and backward. The giant wheel of history is nothing more than this. The truly troublesome part is that there are only one or two people who are able to steer it forward all the way and make few mistakes every hundred or thousand years. "
Luo Nan finally understood why Bamboo Pole liked to delve into the matters of secret orders after listening to Bamboo Pole's unceasing discourse.
Little did he know that Bamboo Pole was waiting for him. "Boss, are you interested in going to the Thieving Heavenly Flame?"
The corner of Luo Nan's lips twitched. He didn't respond.
Bamboo Pole laughed. "It must be said that the wheel of history is rolling at a relatively slow speed. Even if one or two steps are wrong, there is always a chance to correct it. But with the current speed, perhaps one wrong step and everything will be over … … But the problem is, so what if everything is over? After the Age of Distortion, how many opportunities do humans, the insignificant insects that lie on the body of the Earth, have to realize self-advancement? I'm not afraid of trying. I'm just afraid of being like a headless fly with nowhere to try. "
Zhang Yingying finally couldn't stand this pessimistic argument. She gasped for breath and moved her mouth and hands. "Get the hell out of the way with severe depression. Don't lead this child astray."
Bamboo Pole spread his hands, and Zhang Yingying pulled Luo Nan away.
Luo Nan didn't say anything, but his thoughts had long since drifted far away.
He didn't stay idle while Bamboo Pole was giving his high opinion. Some of Bamboo Pole's words went against Luo Nan's common sense, but many of them coincided with Luo Nan's thoughts.
For example, Luo Nan didn't really think much of the military and political departments' actions. According to the results of his observations, every minute and second of delay would cause the primordial infected to slip a step closer to the third stage of infection. Making a move early might not be able to save these people from the threat of the Distortion, but it would be able to control them at the lowest cost.
Then again, Luo Nan didn't report the latest observation data to all parties, including the Xia City branch. Admittedly, there was a selfish desire to protect himself in this, but from another perspective, there was also a very subtle boastful mentality:
It's really, really easy to control the situation. I can handle it all by myself.
Yes, there are many ways to solve it.
The simplest way is also the most crude. It doesn't require any technique at all. Just use a round of Siege Hammer to knock out and kill the ball … … Such a crude method made Luo Nan feel a bit embarrassed just thinking about it.
He had considered the more technical ideas, but Bamboo Pole's high opinion, which concerned the psychology of the common people, gave him a new inspiration.
He had seen similar discussions in the materials at hand, and he also had a blueprint for a corresponding configuration.
