[Quest: Make Chen Yunxuan the village chief. Upon completion, your prestige will increase by 5, and Chen Yunxuan's character will increase by 5.]
Chen Yunxuan saw the pop-up window appearing in front of him and immediately understood what Lin Tongxi meant.
Just as he was about to speak, he was pulled out by Lin Tongxi. Before leaving, he said to everyone, "Wait a minute! I want to talk to Brother Chenxuan!"
"Brother Tongxi, what are you doing?" Chen Yunxuan asked in confusion. Although he was willing to help the village, he had never thought of becoming the village chief.
"Have you forgotten what we said? You are the chosen one, and I will help you to save the troubled times." Lin Tongxi patted Chen Yunxuan's shoulder.
Then, he continued to persuade Chen Yunxuan: "If you can't even manage a village properly, how can you help the troubled times in the future?"
"You must know that if you want to end the strife in Shenzhou, you must have your own territory, your own army, and your own people!"
"It's a rare opportunity to practice. If you take on this role, you'll be able to manage other places with ease in the future."
"Let's put it another way. Imagine the head of your academy sets a test for you, asking you to manage the academy. If you manage well, you can go back."
"But you refused because you had no management experience, or you didn't manage it well and didn't get to go back."
"And this—could have been avoided!"
"Although I believe you are the child of destiny, the child of destiny also needs to go through some training, understand?"
After Lin Tongxi's verbal attack, Chen Yunxuan finally changed his mind.
Of course, it’s not that Lin Tongxi’s rhetoric is so powerful, but that he doesn’t want to let Lin Tongxi down.
He was just an abandoned disciple, and no matter how he defended himself, he was ruthlessly expelled from Chengtian Academy.
In fact, he was supposed to die on the mountain.
If it weren't for Lin Tongxi, Chen Yunxuan would have died with a bad reputation.
How will I face Master then?
…
"Yunxuan, how do you think this chaotic world will end?" Chen Yunxuan's master, Elder Fuchen, turned around and looked at Chen Yunxuan.
"My disciple believes that we should wield three-foot swords to slay the wicked, eliminate evil, and uphold justice, so that the country can be clear." Chen Yunxuan pondered for a moment, then continued his previous answer: "Of course, we must also promote education, so that the people will respect the truth and value virtue, so that China can remain forever pure."
"That's right." Elder Fuchen stroked his beard, but at the same time asked another question: "Then let me ask you, what is evil? What is virtue? And who should define these?"
Chen Yunxuan then recited what he had learned in his usual classes, but he could not give an answer to the last question for the time being.
"Chenxuan, these are defined by people."
"Chengtian Academy considers this a virtue, but others might consider it a vice."
"What Chengtian Academy considers evil may be considered virtue by others."
After hearing this, Chen Yunxuan was stunned, and then asked, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be a mess... I don't understand, Master, please enlighten me."
"The great truth is simple, yet also complex... If you have the chance, go down and experience it... and you'll slowly comprehend it."
…
"Hey! Don't ignore me, Brother Chenxuan, give me a reply!" Lin Tongxi urged.
Chen Yunxuan nodded and agreed to Lin Tongxi's request: "Well, since Brother Tongxi has said so... I will definitely work hard to be a good village chief of Qingshi Village."
Who defines morality and evil? It is defined by people. Everyone has his or her own moral values.
Zhang San said that everyone is a collective and the chickens in the village should be shared. Li Si said that the chickens were fed by him with his own food, so how could they belong to everyone.
Both seem to be correct, but in the view of Chengtian Academy, Li Si is evil and too selfish.
But in reality, if this set of ideas were used to manage Qingshi Village, the villagers would probably drive them out.
“…” Chen Yunxuan returned to the house, his eyes lit up, as if he had understood something.
[Host Chen Yunxuan successfully comprehended, character +5, activated the talent "Concentration"]
[Concentration: Every time you improve your mind by 10 points, your concentration will become stronger.]
[The higher your concentration, the higher the chance of a critical hit when attacking, and the easier it is to make orders and decisions when managing government affairs.]
When Lin Tongxi saw the pop-up window, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
As expected, he is the protagonist. He can comprehend it anytime and anywhere! After comprehending, he can also activate his talents!
This talent is pretty good, he is good at both literature and martial arts. His host Chen Yunxuan is indeed a man of all trades and talents.
"Young Master Tongxi... who exactly is the candidate you are talking about...?" Although the old village chief Li Changhe had already guessed who the other party would recommend, he still needed to wait for Lin Tongxi to speak.
Lin Tongxi raised the corner of his mouth and started talking nonsense again.
"Village Chief, the person I want to recommend is naturally Lin Chenxuan!"
"Brother Chenxuan has been practicing martial arts since he was young. In terms of single combat, he is unbeatable in the village. If he is surrounded and attacked, he can fight his way out with his ability."
"Shopkeeper Sun can attest to this."
"Of course, this alone isn't enough to be village chief, but with my martial arts prowess, I can at least stand up and protect the villagers!"
"During these days, everyone should have seen Brother Chenxuan's character."
"Destroy the Tiger Roaring Village...handle the dispute between the Li and Zhao families fairly...carefully investigate and punish the real culprit in the Li case..."
"Brother Chenxuan has made great contributions to all of this!"
After Lin Tongxi finished speaking, he looked at everyone.
In fact, he also wanted to say that Chen Yunxuan was a god.
Just before that, he had asked Chen Yunxuan to use a gun to intimidate the villagers.
Who would have thought that this kid was so honest and said that the sound was caused by weapons, not his "divine miracle".
