No Tech Advantage in Transmigration? No, I Have It!

This is an indescribable world.

Gunpowder was prepared, but when ignited, it produced pixels.

Boiling water produces steam, yet it cannot even lift the pot lid.

Chapter 38 Look at Others

"Gao Wen? Yun Zhao? Why have I never heard of these two people?" Shi Zhen'er asked in confusion.

"Don't ask. I don't know what will happen if I tell these two stories, so I can only talk about their subordinates first. They both have their own intelligence agencies, one called the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the other called the Men in Black. These people are almost omnipotent. One person can lurk in the enemy's capital and turn the tide, and use the enemy's strength to defeat the powerful."

Lin Hai looked up at the sky while speaking. Well, no thunder struck. Fortunately, what he said did not cause any changes in the rules.

"There are such extraordinary people in the world? What kind of great deeds have these extraordinary people done? Brother Lin, why don't you tell us in detail?" Shi Zhen'er glanced at the rockery and raised her voice a little.

"You can tell them, but we can't hear clearly from behind the rockery. Let them come out and listen." Lin Hai said with a smile, "Hide behind the scenes. Be careful not to be mistaken for an assassin by the guards and killed."

Shi Zhen'er smiled and said loudly, "Come out, everyone. I can't hide it for you anymore."

A group of people walked out from behind the rockery in an awkward atmosphere.

"Come, sit down, I'm going to tell you a story today." Lin Hai invited them.

Everyone sat down, and Wang Zuo deliberately sat in the seat closest to Lin Hai. In his words: Today we are talking about the story of intelligence, and I should hear it first.

Lin Hai cleared his throat and said, just like when he was giving them a lecture at night school, "It's a long story, and I won't go into detail. However, some of the content is worth our consideration and reference. But there's a saying that goes, we can't just copy. Other people's stories can inspire our thinking, but they can't become a coil that restricts our thinking.

Well, the story I’m going to tell you today is called ‘The 25th Production Brigade’...”

When Lin Hai finished speaking, it was already dark and everyone looked at each other in silence.

After a long while, Wang Zuo stood up, bowed deeply, and said, "Principal, we were wrong."

Lin Hai didn't look at Wang Zuo, but said to the setting sun, "Do you know where you went wrong?"

"We are too arrogant," Wang Zuo said. "There are so many talented people in the world. They are so quick-witted and meticulous that they can even come up with such a method. And I just locked up the spy I found and thought I did a good job."

"Principal, I think it's our pride that's caused us to become complacent," Ling Yang said. "Qinghe is much stronger now than before, and we all think that as long as no other country attacks us with all their might, we'll be safe. So, we've become complacent, and we've stopped thinking about a lot of things we could have thought of. We're just too lazy to think about them."

Lin Hai patted Ling Yang and Wang Zuo on the shoulders and gestured for them to sit down. "We are far from safe. There are many strange things in this world, and you know some of the details. These things cannot be easily spoken out, but you know what I mean.

From the most basic perspective, we have indeed achieved some results, which is worthy of recognition. However, if the ones attacking tomorrow are not those Khmer or Chen Dynasty soldiers, but something we don’t know what it is, do you know how to respond?

If those weird things come to attack next year, do you know how to prepare?

Actually, I don’t know. We all don’t know. This is why I am always worried.

We must never become complacent just because we have achieved a little success, but we should think carefully about how we can do better.

Why did we develop so quickly in the beginning? It's not just because you quickly widened the gap with others through education and stood out. More importantly, the environment at that time forced us to do everything to the best of our ability. If we didn't, we would probably have breakfast the next day.

We have to maintain this feeling!"

Lin Hai watched Shi Zhen'er try to light a candle, but he waved his hand, signaling that it wasn't necessary. He said, "You are already experienced officials. I don't need to lecture you at length. I only have two requests. Remember them!"

Everyone stood up and bowed, saying, "Principal, please give us your instructions."

"First, it's never your weakness or ignorance that defeats you, but your arrogance."

“Second, when you think you’ve done well, think about the story I just told you and look at other people!”

Everyone saluted and said, "As you command."

Lin Hai waved his sleeves and turned to leave. Just after taking a few steps, everyone heard Lin Hai's voice coming from the darkness: "Old rules, today's story, each person will write a 1,000-word review, due tomorrow!"
