In the morning after the typhoon, the weather will get better. The dark clouds that have been covering Gotham have also dispersed. After a night of violent wind and rain, the air is rarely fresh.
Jason, who was standing by the window, stretched and moved his neck, and woke up the little slipper who was still sleeping on the bed. After the little slipper got up, he asked while washing: "Are you going to have breakfast today?"
"
"Of course, the school cafeteria is quite delicious." Jason patted his chest and said, "I'm growing, so I need to eat more."
"I won't go there today. I still don't understand the transmission structure that the teacher talked about yesterday. I will go over there in advance to ask the teacher."
The little slipper took the book and was about to walk out. Jason stopped him and said, "Don't leave yet. How about I bring you one? Do you want a hamburger or a burrito?"
"Bring me a burrito, but no sauce, it's too salty." Little Slippery opened the door and walked out. Jason standing behind him shook his head and said, "He's such a weirdo, and the taste is very weird."
.”
Suddenly, he covered his forehead again and said, "Oh my god, the transmission structure...what did the teacher emphasize yesterday?"
Realizing that it was still early, Jason sat on his bed and said to himself: "Sometimes, I really envy him for being able to find something he likes to do."
He put his hands behind his head and leaned on the pillow and said: "...What do I like? Repairing cars? But I steal tires just to sell them for money. Do I really like playing with those mechanical parts?"
Jason shook his head, as if he felt a little confused. Suddenly, he jumped up, moved his body again, and said, "Jason, you don't have such a good life. You can just do nothing.
Just lie down and count the money and let’s go.”
Soon, Jason came to the cafeteria. Because the class time of the vocational and technical college was earlier than that of our college, most of the people eating in the cafeteria at this time were students of the technical college.
They all knew the two younger children who had just joined, and Jason waved to greet them.
Jason is very popular and he can get along well anywhere, which is due to his experience working at the bottom of Gotham.
You know, in a place like Gotham, becoming the leader of a neighborhood kid gang requires not only IQ and courage, but also high emotional intelligence.
In a sense, children are more difficult to control than adults, and they make more mistakes and spend more energy to help them solve some troubles without making other children who have not made mistakes feel unfair.
The Capricorn Gang led by Jason is well-known on the street because their leader has more leadership than others and can always solve all kinds of troubles that ordinary people can't imagine and protect the lives of his gang members.
safety and profit.
The little slicker would steal the tires of the Batmobile to practice his skills, but Jason was not. He just wanted to make money to support the gang, and later helped the little slicker just because of his loyalty.
When he was actually asked to go to school to study car repair, he was not that interested anymore.
Carrying his food, Jason planned to find a quiet place to eat. Then, he saw a familiar figure in the corner of the cafeteria, that was Schiller.
Originally, the teachers' cafeteria and the student cafeteria were separate, but because the main cafeteria does not open so early, the chefs have not yet gone to work, so Schiller has been eating in the student cafeteria these days.
There was no student near Schiller's seat, but the diagonal line to his seat was crowded with people. Many people were afraid of the professor, worried that he would dislike them and freeze them with umbrellas.
But Jason's idea was very unique. He thought being frozen was quite fun, so he was not afraid of Schiller at all. He happily walked over with the plate and asked: "Professor Schiller, can I sit down?"
Do you want to eat here?」
Schiller looked up at him and said, "Of course, what do you want? A burger? Why is there a burrito?"
"Oh, that one is for Little Slippery," Jason shrugged, put down the plate and said, "He said there was a transmission structure that he didn't understand yesterday, and he wanted to ask the teacher this morning, so
I’m already in the classroom now.”
"He is a good student and is very suitable for learning this industry." Schiller nodded and said, "In the future, he will become an excellent automotive engineer."
"Really? Do you think so too?" After Jason sat down, he picked up the burger and opened the wrapper. After taking a bite, he asked, "What about me? What do you think I will do in the future?"
Schiller smiled and said, "You have to ask yourself, what do you want to do?"
Jason sighed, and Schiller found it very interesting, because Jason was obviously still a child, but he always liked to act like an adult, looking both serious and funny.
"It's because I don't know what I want to do that I want to ask others. The little slick guy said that he wanted to invent a car with me, but in fact, I don't have any additional interest in cars. I went to pry the tires of the Batmobile.
Just to sell it at a high price."
"Do you want to make money?" Schiller asked.
Jason shook his head and said, "Actually, I don't need that much money, but there are many children in the Capricorn Gang who cannot go out to work. I have to make as much money as possible to support the gang."
"But it's much better now." Jason said with a smile: "Older children can go to sell newspapers, sell cigarettes or deliver things, and younger children can also go to the day care center. Not only do they not charge money, but they also provide care.
A meal, otherwise I won’t be able to leave. Those little brats will definitely cause trouble as long as no one keeps an eye on them.”
Seeing that he showed a sad look like an adult again, Schiller found it very interesting. He asked: "So, you want to lead the gang?"
Jason hesitated and said, "I don't know what it means to lead a gang. Is it to develop a gang to the strongest level? But, I..."
Jason paused for a while, as if thinking, and then he said: "I don't know if what the gangsters are doing is right. Everyone does it, so I can only do it, but I don't like robbing.
, I also want to avoid crossfire as much as possible..."
"I don't know if I have the courage to send the children who grew up with me from the Curly Tail Gang to the front line of the war, and let them get hurt and bleed to make money for me."
Schiller looked at him and was a little surprised, not because of this point of view, but because Jason's expressive ability was far beyond what he should have at his current age. He was able to express certain things that should be very ignorant at this age.
The question was expressed clearly.
There are many people who feel a certain emotion in their hearts, but they don’t know where this emotion comes from. There are also many people who know where this emotion comes from, but there is no way to express it clearly through language. There are also many people who know where this emotion comes from, but there is no way to express it clearly through language.
People have the ability to express this emotion clearly in words, but due to personality reasons, they are shy about speaking out.
In the process of feeling and expressing, you have to overcome many difficulties. Generally speaking, you need to improve your ability in this area through the accumulation of understanding of things and experience, but there are also some people who are born with stronger talents.
They are more sensitive to their own and other people's emotions. At the same time, they can express the emotions they experience with very clear logic. The process of expression is very smooth and will not be hindered. This is actually a quite
special abilities.
Schiller cut off a small piece of steak and put it into his mouth, looked at Jason and asked: "In an environment where no one will do good things, are you willing to go against the flow and be the special one?"
"How do you distinguish good things from bad things?" Jason asked again: "I didn't want the kids in my gang to starve, so I stole tires and sold them. I saw it in the newspaper. They said stealing
The stuff is wrong, but I can’t possibly watch the children of the Capuchin Gang not having enough to eat.”
"They will starve. It's because their parents don't raise them, and their parents don't raise them. Maybe it's because they died in the gang wars, or maybe because they were oppressed by the gangs and didn't have time to take care of them.
them."
"So, when I stole tires from gang members, I was just asking them for payment for raising my children. I didn't think it was a bad thing."
Schiller stared at Jason and said, "What about stealing the tires of the Batmobile? You know, Batman is a vigilante who stops crime."
"That's because he
Very rich." Jason said very bluntly: "He lost a tire. The loss may not be enough for him to eat, but if the tire can be sold, the Curly Tail Gang can help him in two months.
You don’t have to worry about food anymore.”
"Do you think rich people deserve to be robbed? Or, it is also a crime. Do you think rich people should be forgiven for their crimes?"
"I don't know," Jason replied. "I always wonder, why are rich people rich?"
"I'm very curious, where does the money in the world come from? The newspaper said that money is printed by banks, so why can't banks print more so that everyone can have money?"
"Why are rich people so rich but unwilling to pay more to their employees?"
"They know clearly in their hearts that for them, just a beautiful piece of jewelry or a sculpture may keep poor people and children fed for several months. They are unwilling to spend the money.
Because they didn’t see it, or because they didn’t care?”
Schiller looked at him with a smile and said, "If you were a rich man, would you be willing to give your money to the poor?"
"That's why I'm confused." Jason shook his head and said, "When I was a poor man, I hoped that those rich people could do more, but when I imagined that I was a rich man, I
What I’m thinking about is buying a big house that I like, or going to the West for an adventure. Is it really normal for me to think like this?”
Jason took another bite of the hamburger and said, "The newspapers never talk about this kind of thing, but the books that Little Slicker showed me didn't tell me either. They only talked about how the motor works."
"But. Can making the motor rotate faster really prevent everyone from going hungry?"
"Do you want no one to starve?" Schiller asked.
"Of course!" Jason raised his voice and stared at Schiller. "No one in the world would think otherwise, right? Everyone would think that if no one goes hungry, everyone can afford to buy the things they like.
, how great would it be? Isn’t it?”
Schiller asked again: "Do you think this is done by stopping bad things or by promoting good things?"
"Can't we do it together?" Jason shrugged and said, "It's all fantasy anyway. I think we can do it together. On the one hand, it will stop criminals from committing crimes again. On the other hand, it will let people who do good things get rewards. This way
They will do more good things.”
"How do you think crime can be stopped?" Schiller asked again.
"I don't know, but I just know that it doesn't seem feasible to put all the criminals who have committed crimes in prison."
Jason pursed his lips and said, "After so many years of arresting criminals in Gotham, there are still criminals. In the past, it could be said that the police did not work well, but since the arrival of the chief named Gordon, the police efficiency is still quite high, but
Gotham is still like this."
After finishing the burger, Jason put his face with one hand and said, "I don't know why, but my intuition tells me that prohibiting bad things and encouraging good things should actually be the same thing, but I don't know what that is.
.”
Schiller's eyes became brighter and brighter, but Jason glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and said: "Oh, my God, it's almost time for class, and I have to study the car transmission system again..."
"I'm leaving now, Professor, we'll talk another day."
"Wait a minute!" Schiller stopped him and said, "I like what you just said very much..."
"What?" Jason asked a little confused.
"If you make the motor spin faster, you can't make everyone go hungry, at least not in a short period of time."
"What can be done?" Jason asked subconsciously.
Schiller showed a smile, looked at him and said:
"If you want to know the answer, I suggest you change your major."
