Chapter 69. Useless thoughts (Thanks to Brother Holy Light and the leaders of Sabo Kayako for their support!)
Global Elite Sports Center, near the energy-absorbing barrier of the football field.
Liang De and Sun Xunqiao led four work-study students back to the Coward Savior Grocery Store. The four people had different ideas, but they chose the same strategy - hiding their true thoughts and playing the role of well-behaved juniors.
Except for Huang Yi Da Jian, whose acting skills were not up to par overnight, the other three people all pretended to be pretty good, at least in Mr. Liang's eyes.
He suddenly felt extremely bored.
These four work-study students, no matter what thoughts they had before, now tried their best to put on a posture to face their teachers.
Because they have seen the power and resources at their disposal.
He was respectful and frightened, as if he was an instrument at the mercy of his elders.
If jade is not cut, it cannot be turned into a weapon. What is a tool? Who will cut it?
At this time, Mr. Liang was undoubtedly a respectable teacher, but he felt very uncomfortable.
He couldn't play the role that suited him well.
This character is called "Elder".
The civilization of the Pan-Eastern Kingdom has always been based on the elders. No matter how knowledgeable you are, what your abilities are, or what your conduct is, as long as you are born a few years earlier, you will always have some natural authority and status.
When it comes to direct descendants, age and seniority are your natural achievements.
Even if you don’t have your own direct descendants, as long as your brothers, uncles or aunts and uncles have completed their tasks, as long as they have created new heirs for the clan, you can enjoy the power of your elders together and compete with those who are older than you.
Short young people transmit values.
You can freely display your desire for dominance, and you can pour your own prejudice and anger on the younger generation.
Maybe as an elder, your life is not successful, or even a failure, but you are an elder after all, and you have valuable life experience!
Even if it is a failure, you can dress it up as tragic and tragic.
You are just unlucky! What is there to reflect on? Who knows what you were thinking and what you did.
As long as what you say is high-sounding enough, who can expose you?
Say it, say it, like that poem called "Dead Waters."
Sprinkle your leftovers, let the grease weave a layer of silk, let the mold steam a layer of clouds, let the broken patina turn into emerald, let the rust of the ironware turn into peach blossoms.
They are still young and they don't understand. When they grow up, mature, understand, and decay... they will become you when they grow up listening to your teachings.
You are always right, what's wrong? Your starting point is always good. You are an elder. In front of younger generations, just be yourself and be the person who was shaped by your elders.
Isn’t that pretty good?
Liang De felt a little disgusted. He looked at the respect and fear on the young faces, and remembered the mask he wore in front of Ji Shen and other great masters like Qing Jie.
Yes, he can say that it is just a mask and that it is not his true self, but isn't that a mask he made for himself?
In the past his answer was "it doesn't matter".
Later, the answer he gave himself was "men's romance."
He performed outrageously on a stage he could control.
He considers himself an ordinary person, but he often ignores the social etiquette of the world, talks nonsense, and acts wantonly.
The huge computing power of the quad-core soul allows him to stay rational at all times. In many cases, the so-called "romance" is just a performance.
He still does whatever he wants, doing something and not doing something, but isn't that really weighing the pros and cons?
For example, different choices when facing the strong and the weak.
He sometimes "persecutes" Ayun, but he also knows that Wumingshi is a powerful Jie Yuan practitioner and an excellent weapon refiner, so he will always use discretion and show kindness when necessary.
But what about the weak.
He was on the other side of No. 415 World Blue Star to grab a lot of cigarettes, undermine him, and make him and his girlfriend unhappy. He was picking Qin Xiao's wool at Yingxuetang Xiangbei Branch to find his happiness...
He has done many good things in line with universal values, but most of the time he behaves like a weirdo, cynical and going his own way. Such performances are interesting, but are they really interesting to Datou and Qin Xiao?
Does he perform the same thing in front of people who are stronger than him?
So what should he do?
Make a smelly, hard rock?
Be a flawless Virgin?
Liang De thought about and laughed at his own nausea for 331 milliseconds, pushing that sickening feeling into the deepest part of his heart.
There wasn't even a crack on his mask.
It's just distracting thoughts.
In his high-speed thinking that occurs all the time, it is not uncommon to draw countless random thoughts from a black dot.
Every distracting thought may make him become a completely different person, if he is just an ordinary person.
But Liang De has become accustomed to using his external self as a tool.
A tool to help you return to your hometown on the oldest blue star.
Tools don’t need to be too complex, they just need to be easy to use.
As long as you stay in this state and you won't collapse easily, and as long as you can face and solve the problems that need to be solved, then let's stay like this for now.
For tools, stability and reliability are the most important thing.
Let's do this first.
Liang De asked four work-study students to stand in a row against the wall. He detected the spiritual sense of a specific frequency, flexibly circled a leg of the Eight Immortals table in the grocery store, and groped for the formation node that unlocked the restriction.
The ancient Eight Immortals Table shattered into pieces with a crash, and each piece was a key connected to the "keyhole" hidden on the floor.
There was a sound on the floor, dust filled my nose, and the cave inside the room suddenly opened.
There was only a black hole left in the area originally covered by the Eight Immortals Table, and the fragments of the wooden table fell downwards, forming a wooden ladder leading to the ground.
A road sign was erected at the beginning of the stairs without handrails and guardrails. In front of it was the underground training center of the Dongguo Ancient Boxing Department.
Liang De took back the warrior spirit and said:
"You guys go down first, senior brother, and you take them to understand the history of our sect. I have something else to do, so I'll come down later."
"Okay, see you later."
Sun Xunqiao led four work-study students down the wooden stairs. When the back of the last person disappeared into the black hole, a message from the soul floated out from the ground.
"Your expression is confused."
"I know it myself."
"I brought a few relics. The stewed ones are ready to eat after opening the bag. You can also break them into pieces to make rice. It's very quick to make."
"Senior brother, I can't tell you until I can't do it myself. Is it spicy or not?"
Sun Xunqiao didn't reply to him.
Liang De was the only one left in the grocery store.
He took a few packs of spicy strips from the shelf, pulled up a bench and sat down, took out his cell phone and sent the person a message on Tongxu.
"Has the time for the Sandpiper Hunter press conference been set? I don't know when my next business trip will be. It'd be better if it could be earlier.
You have to cooperate with my time. After all, I am also one of the chief designers of Sandpiper Hunter. What if I don’t come?"
