Professor Bai told me the truth and I realized that the Scientific Happiness Conference was not as rich as I thought it would be.
Since they did not swindle money from ordinary members, they only used them as a source of information. Their main income came from wealthy members who paid a 'prediction fee' for performing a 'deep causal prediction' and a 'thank you fee' for a correct prediction. In addition, the Scientific Happiness Conference had to rent classrooms, pay electricity bills, and rent cloud supercomputers, so they did not save a lot of money. They barely made ends meet and the organization was still in its early stages of development.
So, the Scientific Happiness Conference was actually a very poor cult? Although some of the wealthy members were very generous, the cult's operating costs were also very high, so they did not have much cash flow — — I was only running the [Heartbeat Quiz] for fun, so I'm sorry that the Scientific Happiness Conference suffered losses!
What surprised me was that under normal circumstances, the ones who were willing to spend a lot of money to apply for a deep causal prediction were not wealthy people who wanted to do business, but the wives of wealthy people.
"Does my husband have a mistress?" "Who was the woman who had dinner with him the day before yesterday?" "Is my husband secretly transferring his assets in preparation for the divorce?" "Is my husband secretly transferring his assets to prepare for the divorce?"
Questions like these could be solved by a private detective agency, but it would take a certain amount of time. The anxious wives of wealthy people could not wait for even a second. They heard that the Scientific Happiness Conference had a magical causal calculation program that could instantly get an answer as long as they provided some clues, so they flocked over and became one of the main sources of income for the Scientific Happiness Conference.
Damn! What a waste of resources! They used the world's leading technology to determine if their husband had a mistress! No wonder I discovered that there were a lot of female members in the Scientific Happiness Conference. Are they all suspecting their husbands of being unfaithful after their "good man" articles cheated on them!?
Since I had brought Xiao Qin and Gong CaiCai with me today, Professor Bai didn't think it was appropriate to discuss too many secrets with me. He only asked me to collect more information. Otherwise, the causal calculation program wouldn't be able to do anything without rice. In addition, he had also put on his agenda to rope in Professor Yu.
Xiao Qin and Gong CaiCai had been watching the Scientific Happiness Conference's propaganda for a long time in the back row of the multimedia conference room.
In the past, the school would lock us up in the multimedia classroom, force us to watch 'anti-cult propaganda', and wouldn't let us go to the bathroom in between. But today, the famous good girl Gong CaiCai was watching 'cult propaganda' and was enthusiastically explaining it to Xiao Qin. I wonder what the homeroom teacher Yu would think if he saw this.
There was a voice explanation at the end of the promotional video.
"… Although the Americans made a promotional movie about the law of attraction, it did not explain how human thoughts directly affect the universe. Limited to the current level of human technological development, the Scientific Happiness Church can only make the following guess:
The strong desire that appeared in your heart was a "virtual image" that had not yet materialized. Although virtual images did not have a physical body, according to quantum physics, they were essentially a group of waves, just like rocks, plants, and air.
Since there was no essential difference between them, only a difference in quantity, then as long as he strengthened his belief, he could stack the virtual images in his mind into reality, making his dreams come true.
However, thousands of years of human history proved that it was not enough to realize one's wishes only by thinking, one must turn the thought into action. So, was the Law of Attraction wrong?
No, the Law of Attraction is not wrong. Those who think they can succeed by lying in bed and letting their imaginations run wild are gravely mistaken.
As mentioned before, thoughts would produce virtual images, and actions would produce real images. Many virtual images had to be stacked to create a real image. Achieving a wish purely by stacking virtual images was something that only some extremely devout religious believers could do, and their wishes often had nothing to do with self-interest.
For ordinary people, faith can't be compared to religious believers. Therefore, a more scientific approach is to have a good wish, believe that your wish can be achieved, and then take action, using action to create reality. In turn, this will increase your confidence, causing the virtual images in your mind to stack up faster. Adding the two together, you will be able to achieve your wish in the near future. "
"What do you think, it makes sense, right?" After the promotional video finished playing, Gong CaiCai could not contain her excitement and asked Xiao Qin.
No sh * t! Of course it makes sense! It sounds mysterious and almost connected to the Big Bang, but in the end, doesn't it still make everyone work hard with a good goal? This is just a normal motivational speech!
No wonder many people said: Ever since they joined the Scientific Happiness Conference, their waists no longer hurt, their legs no longer hurt, they don't even have to pant when they go up to the fifth floor in one breath. Those who wanted to get a raise had their pockets full, and those who wanted to chase after their goddess succeeded — — because in order to achieve their goals, they separately exercised, asked their boss for a raise, and pestered their goddess.
What does this have to do with the Scientific Happiness Conference! As long as you are brave enough to try something, of course there is a possibility of success! It's not because of the Scientific Happiness Conference that you can achieve your wish, it's because of your own hard work!
But then again, even though I know everyone was tricked, it still feels very motivational! Watching the members tell their own stories in the promotional videos, it was simply like one inspirational Japanese drama after another running towards the sunset! I've never heard of such an inspirational cult!
I summarized it based on the information I received:
For ordinary members, the Scientific Happiness Conference is an inspirational group, encouraging everyone to face life bravely, to speak up if they have any worries, to make good investments if they have spare money, to pursue the person they like, to see a doctor and take medicine if they are sick …
After forming a good reputation among these people, the conference's name will naturally spread to the ears of the rich but insecure. Hence, for questions such as "did my husband have a mistress", "did my wife make me a cuckold", and so on, the rich members joined one after another, taking the initiative to provide information again and again, asking for in-depth predictions of themselves and their spouses — — this is where the Scientific Happiness Conference's income comes from.
It's a classic case of killing the rich to help the poor! Moreover, the rich usually get the correct predictions. If you think about it carefully, the only evil thing Professor Bai and the others did was to collect everyone's privacy through the back door of their mobile phones, then deceive everyone like fools!
In conclusion, the Scientific Happiness Conference seems to be a cult that does relatively little harm to society. The biggest reason is probably because its leader is a psychopath. He does not use all his heaven-defying technological prowess to accumulate wealth, but is more inclined to influence the thinking of others.
It's a bit unexpected! Although the Scientific Happiness Conference is essentially a cult, compared to Ai ShuQiao, it can be called an emissary of justice! If there must be a winner in the war against Ai ShuQiao, I would rather the Scientific Happiness Conference win!
It was already late, so Professor Bai indicated that today's meeting was over. He said he would meet me alone another day, or I could contact him through [Heartbeat Q&A] — — he was at the top of my four "Heartbeat friends" as an administrator.
Xiao Qin was a bit disappointed when she heard the meeting ended so quickly.
"Huh? Is there no initiation ceremony? Don't we need to prove our allegiance? The Taoist priests from the Temple of Heavenly Kings don't have a good relationship with my grandfather, I've long disliked them. As long as you say the word, I'll bring people to beat them up! "
Professor Bai's forehead dripped with sweat, "I know your family's fist technique is pretty powerful, but you don't need it to beat people up. Also, when did I become the Left Protector? If I'm the Left Protector, who's the Right Protector? "
Xiao Qin pointed at me confidently, "Isn't the Right Protector Ye Lin classmate? Ye Lin classmate is an official fanatic, he only decided to join the sect after he heard he could become the Right Protector. Is the leader so petty that he's not willing to give the Right Protector position to Ye Lin classmate? "
While saying that, he gave me a look and I immediately understood.
Xiao Qin was purposely pretending to be stupid and asked Professor Bai to give me a position of a regular member or above! In order to complete the deal between Ai ShuQiao and me, I must enter the core power circle of the Scientific Happiness Conference to have physical access to the storage server of the causality calculation program!
Xiao Qin's words seemed like a joke, but it had an effect on Professor Bai. It might be because he wanted to rope me in.
"Haha, Xiao Qin, that's interesting. If that's the case, I'll train Ye Lin as the Right Protector! But let me reiterate, our conference is not a religion! Before Ye Lin familiarizes himself with the internal affairs, I'll let him be my teaching assistant! Anyway, my previous teaching assistant was arrested by the police for illegal activities, so I need someone to replace him. "
Good job Xiao Qin! If I wasn't in front of Professor Bai, I would have given you a thumbs up! I just joined the Scientific Happiness Conference and haven't done anything yet, but I already obtained the position of teaching assistant. In the future, I will definitely become the Right Protector. At that time, Professor Bai and I will be the 'Left Emissary of Science' and 'Right Emissary of Science' respectively. With our combined scientific abilities, we will be able to kill gods and buddhas. It would not be a problem for us to trigger the second impact of humanity!
Wait … it seems like I got carried away, why was I imagining the Scientific Happiness Conference ruling the world? Is it true that humans are easily brainwashed when they join any organization?
It was already close to 8: 30 when I left the office building. I couldn't help but be glad that I followed Gong CaiCai today and used the excuse of buying a teacher's day gift to go out. Otherwise, Auntie Ren would have already rushed Xiao Qin home.
We haven't eaten dinner yet at 8: 00, so our stomachs were growling. When we passed by a McDonald's, I offered to treat the two girls to a meal. Gong CaiCai immediately declined before Xiao Qin even said anything, as if she would be punished if she accepted a boy's invitation behind her parents' back.
In the end, Gong CaiCai was half-forced into the McDonald's. We sat down after we ordered our food. When Xiao Qin went to the washroom, I looked at Gong CaiCai who couldn't let go of her food. I suddenly remembered the 'Heartbeat Q&A' app that Professor Bai installed on my phone, so I asked her:
"Cai Cai, can I call you Cai Cai?"
Gong CaiCai hurriedly nodded her head and accidentally stung her lips with ketchup.
"Don't be afraid, relax. We're both classmates and friends now. By the way … did any shameless guy ever ask you what your bust size was? "
