Chapter 1838 So That’s How It Is
The Dunning-Kruger syndrome is a psychological term that refers to a person's false sense of self. It affects virtually all humans.
In reality, there are often people who are self-centered and super narcissistic. Some people think that they are stupid and ridiculous, but in fact, it is not the case. They really think that "I am the only one in the world" and they think they are the most perfect.
This cognitive error is called the Dunning-Kruger syndrome. Those with megalomania are essentially severe cases of the Dunning-Kruger syndrome.
Some people think this is a simple symptom that should be easily resolved. But is it true? This is a very troublesome symptom. Severe "Dunning-Kruger syndrome" is basically an incurable disease.
Why do I say this? The solution to this problem is actually quite simple: only by improving your knowledge and skills can you truly understand your true level. However, those with severe Dunning-Kruger syndrome believe they are perfect and don't need to improve. How can they learn? How can they improve themselves?
This is an unsolvable paradox.
Basically, only after being beaten by society can you see your true self.
Logically speaking, Xiao Peng shouldn't have made such a mistake, but he has now fallen into a cognitive blind spot: he thinks he has hidden his identity very well, and that these people approach him because of his personal charm, but he doesn't know that others have almost guessed his identity.
Speaking of which, Xiao Peng also entered the state of "why not eat meat porridge?". He thought that flying an ordinary small plane and wearing a parka produced by Zhao Shanhe's company was the behavior of an ordinary person. Little did he know that his every move had exceeded the scope of "ordinary people" - who would fly a plane to travel for no reason?
To put it bluntly, he was deceiving himself and others by covering his ears and stealing the bell. He himself hadn't realized it yet and only felt that he was infinitely charming.
Men are animals that are good at deceiving themselves.
But he soon realized how stupid he was.
He was woken up the next morning by the noise.
"What the hell is that sound?" Xiao Peng opened his eyes and pulled out his arm that was numb from being pressed by Rosa, then pushed away Vera who was pressing on him on the other side.
Why is there such a loud engine noise? It sounds like a helicopter!
The snow has indeed subsided, but helicopter flying is still unsafe. And how did this helicopter land on the school campus?
"Xiao, what's going on?" Vera asked from the side.
Xiao Peng shook his head: "I was just about to ask you, what's going on here? How did a helicopter land in the school?"
Vera shook her head and said, "I don't know. There has never been such a situation before!"
Rosa was also very angry: "Who is this? What's the matter with this plane? Can't we rest?"
Xiao Peng put on his thermal underwear and got out of bed. He picked up the cigarette on the table, lit it, and went to the window to see who was so uncivilized as to not let him sleep so early in the morning.
When he walked to the window, he saw several people getting off the helicopter. When he saw the first person clearly, he covered his face with his hands.
What the hell is that personal charm? It seems like his identity has been leaked!
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Bruch and Kasim are here!
Desarev also got off the plane with him!
Well, Xiao Peng originally thought that he was charming and that he could catch fugitives wherever he went. Now he understood clearly, what was catching fugitives? It was obvious that they recognized who he was and received orders from above!
He looked at Rosa and Vera and felt that they were not so fragrant...
"Honey, what happened? You don't look very happy!" Vera asked while hugging Xiao Peng from behind.
Xiao Peng didn't know how to explain this topic.
At this moment there was a knock at the door, followed by Denisov's voice.
Rosa got dressed and opened the door for Denisov, who ran in excitedly. "Xiao, did you see that? The military is here. Look at the plane number. It's not our state's number. It's the Ministry of Defense's number!"
Xiao Peng's face was filled with black lines: "What does this mean?"
Denisov said, "I'm afraid our school has produced some great talent. Do you know why I left school and gave up my military service? It's because even if we leave here, we end up in Siberia and can't leave this damn place! It's better to hope to become a world champion than to become a soldier."
After hearing this, Rosa said, "Denisov, with your skills, can't you make money by working hard in a big city?"
Denisov shook his head and said, "Rosa, you think too simply. Don't you know that so many people left here for big cities, only to return here in disgrace? Making it in the outside world isn't as easy as you think. You can ask Xiao about this."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said, "They say big cities offer more opportunities, but they also offer more competition. There's a phenomenon called the 'bottom-up cycle,' where people at the bottom of society often find themselves trapped in a situation where the harder they work, the more they sink. After all, their knowledge, perspective, resources, connections, and so on are all limited. Their energy and time are often confined to simply filling their stomachs. Where do they find time to think? Where do they find time to change their lives? And there's another point: if you want to fight in a big city, what advantages do you have over others? How can you stand out from the competition? Without such advantages, the result is likely to be just like Denisov said, and you'll end up returning here in disgrace."
Several people in the room fell silent.
At this time, Vera suddenly spoke: "Xiao, can you take us away from here?"
"Ah?" Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this.
Damn, this is the reason why they are with me!
"Vera, you have to know that I'm just a crew member. I usually live on the sea. What can you do if I take you away from here? All the years of synchronized swimming you practiced will be in vain?" Xiao Peng quickly refused.
Damn, can't you just ask for some money? And you're planning to follow me? That's way too ambitious!
Then Denisov spoke up: "Can I go aboard with you? I'm strong enough to work!"
Xiao Peng looked at Denisov and the others with a frown on his face. No wonder you were so active, so this was your plan.
"Denisov is easy to deal with," Xiao Peng said. "After all, he's no longer a member of this school. But you two are both in the military. I'm going to take you two away? Kidnapping active-duty soldiers? Are you planning to kill me?"
Vera and Rosa exchanged a glance and were about to speak when Kasin's voice came from outside the door: "Boss, you're getting more and more sophisticated now. You're even starting to kidnap active-duty soldiers?"
