Chapter 1565 The Ultimate Game is Thinking
Lei Zhen didn't apologize, and Shu Jin didn't blame him.
No one wants this to happen, but once it happens, you have to share the responsibility. It's not just a matter of your relationship, but also your common home.
Husband and wife are birds of a feather, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes. This saying does not exist for them. They just work together to withstand risks.
If you win, you can return to your family; if you lose, you can still be together.
"Wife, I didn't expect it to turn out like this, putting you in danger." Lei Zhen laughed and said, "Maybe I was going too smoothly, so..."
Not apologizing doesn't mean I don't blame myself, but this reason is a bit far-fetched.
It’s not a question of going too smoothly, but that when you reach a certain level, you will inevitably face pressure from above and you will not be able to retreat.
Being content with a small fortune refers to a comfortable life. No one will care about those few things. However, being extremely rich and powerful will be coveted by others, and thus fall into the rapids.
Either you try your best to paddle across, or you are overturned by the waves and destroyed. The best outcome is to return to poverty.
So there is no turning back. Even if you don't want to, you have to move forward. It's like a lie. You have to use another lie to explain the previous lie.
All the bad things that were done during the climb had to be diverted by new conflicts.
"It's normal. I don't blame you." Shu Jin said softly, "Although I would rather enjoy an ordinary life, it's just wishful thinking after all. Regardless of my family's situation or following you, if you didn't work hard enough, we would have been shattered long ago."
The two stopped, smiled at each other, and interlocked their fingers.
There is no need to say too much or explain too much, everyone knows that they will have to face huge waves.
…
The ceremony was held.
Princess Lei was identified as the sole candidate for the next Prophet, also known as the Seer.
The child knew nothing and was only concerned with the beautiful clothes and the dazzling crown. She ran around playing with her face flushed red, and was always accompanied by eight maids.
This was designated by the prophet and it was very logical.
Of course Shu Jin never left their side, and Wu Mei was responsible for the safety of the mother and daughter. All food and drink expenses had to go through her hands to ensure that there would be no problems.
At the same time, she also started poisoning.
No one knows what kind of poison was used, nor how it was administered, but anyone on the island who used fresh water would be poisoned.
Including Shu Jin and the children.
In the next few days, many more people came to the island, including a chef team, medical team, teachers, etc. specially assigned to Shu Jin.
None of these people are simple, such as Di Ji who is in charge of the medical team, and Mr. Ying, the old teacher who specializes in teaching children poetry and songs - he is the teacher who taught Lei Zhen kung fu, and he is also the elder of the Ying family who taught Ying Xian kung fu.
In order to deal with possible situations, people are directly recruited from famous families, and all of them are of the top specifications. Even the chefs are super masters of the ghost clan who are known as the butchers who can cut up an ox like a butcher.
It doesn’t matter whether the prophet knows the identities of these people or not. What matters is that Lei Zhen can do the job.
Conquer the world, everything else is trivial!
This is what the prophet needs. Perhaps being the true master of one day is enough for him. As for what happens next, it has little to do with him.
"Lei Zhen, I have fulfilled all your requests."
The prophet smiled and looked at Lei Zhen with anticipation.
"As long as my wife and daughter are safe, I'll work for you. It's a simple deal." Lei Zhen nodded and said, "But I'd like to be more cautious. Why do you have to conquer the world?"
These seemingly random questions actually contain wisdom and temptation.
First of all, conquering the world is an obvious reason, but often the obvious reasons are not the ultimate goal, but just means and processes.
The second thing is to make sure, because although it is easy to say "conquer the world", there are so many things behind it.
For example, personal will, group will, cultural will, etc.
This temptation is to confirm what the prophet's thinking is like and whether it is typical Western thinking, which can be distinguished by the four words "conquer the world".
The main idea of Western thinking is conquest, while the main idea of Eastern thinking is inclusiveness, openness to all, seeking common ground while reserving differences. The two ways of thinking are completely different.
Therefore, the East has always been dominated by unified dynasties, but the West, starting from ancient Rome, has been dominated by various conquests, especially after the beginning of the Age of Exploration.
"Why do so many people climb Mount Everest? Because it's the highest point in the world. When you stand there, you feel like the whole world is at your feet. Nothing can obstruct your view, and you have no regrets." The prophet stared into his eyes and asked, "Would you stop one meter from the summit?"
Lei Zhen shook his head, of course not.
It's so close, I have to climb up no matter what, even if it means dying.
"This is my current situation, and it reflects everyone's inner thoughts. Conquering the world isn't the ultimate goal, but looking down on it is."
The prophet showed an obsessed look, which was a yearning for the peak and even more a fascination with the top of the planet.
It can even be said that it is a child's obsession with being number one. He wants to be number one in eating, running, and everything he does.
"Prophet, can't we just coexist peacefully? The four of you are each responsible for your own area, and no one is higher than you." Lei Zhen said with a wry smile, "We're already standing on Mount Everest, so why force it? We in the East believe in seeking common ground while reserving differences, and Taoist philosophy particularly emphasizes governing by inaction."
Test, keep testing.
At this level of game, it has long since moved away from specific behaviors such as digging holes and tactics, and has reached the depth of thought and thinking.
The differences between the East and the West are so great that they will not change even in the next few decades. Even though the West has been studying the thinking of Orientals and has mastered some methods, its style of doing things has never changed.
Different environments have different cultural influences. Understanding does not mean agreement, agreement does not mean being able to do it, and being able to do it does not mean mastery.
Apart from anything else, the methods of palace fighting alone are enough for foreigners to learn for several lifetimes.
Of course, Eastern thinking also has great drawbacks. It always wants to solve problems properly, which eventually leads to endless internal friction. In contrast, Western thinking of conquest never wants to solve problems effectively, so whenever a problem arises, it uses aggression to divert conflicts.
"Eastern thinking is great, but too cowardly." The prophet shook his head and said, "Survival of the fittest. Whether it's humans or animals, the strong always become stronger."
After hearing this, Lei Zhen felt relieved.
He just wanted to say, "You're such a coward! Our history in the East has been a history of war for thousands of years. We are civilized because we leave room for maneuver when doing things."
The greatest advantage of you barbarians is killing. If you can wipe out a clan, you will definitely wipe it out completely. If you cannot rule well, just kill them all.
It is true that only the fittest survive in the natural selection, but there is also the law of nature above all else. Every living creature has its own way of survival and plays an extremely important role in this world.
There were differences in ideas, and even though the prophet had in-depth research on the East, they could not be integrated at all.
Not to mention living to be over a hundred years old, even if you live another hundred years it will be useless. As the saying goes, it is difficult to change one's nature, which is shaped by the environment.
