Chapter 178: Fools
Qualitative analysis has always been big, empty, and boring. β
"But since you asked, then it's specific to your question...... If someone asks a stupid question, you can react in two ways, answer or not answer. β
There are also two kinds of answers, serious answers and perfunctory answers. β
"Seriously, you'll lose...... Someone who is generally familiar with stupid questions is most likely an idiot. β
"If you are perfunctory, you may be thought that you can't even answer a stupid question, and naturally you are not as good as a stupid person. β
In the same way, there are two kinds of non-answering. I don't know the answer, and I don't want to deal with silence. The former is the same as above, and if he can't even say the answer to a stupid question, he is naturally a big fool, and the latter is a little smarter, but he is also limited. After all, how smart can a person who sits and chats with a fool be?"
Xiao Xiao's complicated and awkward explanation, Zheng Qingzhi rolled his eyes when he listened. But he finally understood Xiao Xiao's meaning.
"Oh, no matter what I say, I'm a fool?" The young public scholarship student dropped the quill, rolled up the silk drawing on the table, and glared at Xiao Xiao angrily: "If one person is stupid, what does it have to do with others!"
"And what if I give him an even stupider answer?" Fat Xin chewed on the plum on the side, and joined the conversation between the roommates with great interest: "...... In this way, my answer can help him go further down the path of stupidity. β
Zheng Qing glanced at the fat man with an incredulous gaze.
"I thought you were a good person. He said in a shocked tone.
"I'm a good guy for a smart person. The fat man picked up another preserved fruit with his stubby fingers and stuffed it into his mouth: "For fools...... For fools, only fools are good people. I don't want to be a good guy to them. β
This was so reasonable that Zheng Qing couldn't refute it.
When Dr. Xiao heard this, he smiled and said, "There are no fools in this world, and the more people agree with stupid opinions, there will be more fools. So, for the sake of a little less stupid in this world, the next time you hear a stupid person ask a question, or hear someone say something stupid, don't waste your spit and kill things. β
Zheng Qing smacked his lips: "Doctor, you always make sense when you speak." β
"I didn't say that. Xiao Xiao stood up and stretched: "This is what a great wizard of the Shaoxing Zhou clan said, I just made a slight change when quoting it. β
"There's some truth to that change. Fat Xin seemed to remember something, holding a preserved fruit in his hand and hanging it in the air, he didn't put it in his mouth for a long time, and his face was thoughtful: "It's just the sentence just now, 'There are more people who agree with stupid opinions, and there are more fools'...... I think the fish-lipped guys in Linzhong Lake are spreading their stupidity inside and outside the school. It feels like there are more and more idiots in the school. β
"What do you say?" Zheng Qing asked curiouslyβhe had given up discussing his inner confusion with his two companions. In fact, he has also realized that only he can solve the problems that puzzled him before.
"Remember the centaurs who were making trouble outside Fort Alpha the other day?" the fat man grunted as he stuffed the preserved fruit that had been hanging in the air for half a day into his mouth.
"Those guys who want to raise their rents and then get into a conflict with the merchants of Beta?" Zheng Qing nodded.
"Yes, drip. Those fools thought they could get the same support as the fish-men of Linzhong Lake, with Fort Alpha...... I don't see the essence of the matter through the problem at all. How could the wizards of Fort Alpha allow some barbarians to spread wild in their own territory? β
"It's a bit stupid. Zheng Qing somewhat understood the meaning of Xin Fatzi's words: "Those fishmen in Linzhong Lake are very harmful. β
"I'm not done yet. The fat man pulled out a handkerchief, wiped the sugar stains on his fingers, and then took out a handful of dry-fried beans, and squeaked and chewed:
"Sir Friedman lost the upper hand in the battle with Serplano some time ago, and I heard that an internal survey of their club showed that Jazz's approval rating had dropped significantly. So he urgently needs to make a little bit of a political achievement to show his supporters what he is capable of. β
"Luckily, or unfortunately, he used the centaur tribe as a breakthrough. β
Fortunately, he was able to put an end to the riots and present a strong image to his supporters. But unfortunately, his actions put a heavy moral burden on Alpha Castle. It is entirely conceivable that the spokesman of Fort Alpha had just condemned the suppression of the Fish-Man Tribe by the Nine You Academy on the front foot, and then their own people did the same. β
Sir Friedman's short-sighted approach has led more and more of the middle forces to turn to Seprano...... That's why I say stupidity is contagious. β
"In other words, the fish-people passed on their stupidity to the centaur tribe, and then to the students of the Alpha Academy?" Zheng Qing's face was a little subtle: "I always feel that this is a negative feedback." β
In other words, it's a matter of shooting yourself in the foot. Xiao Xiao explained in a more popular way.
"Actually, I would prefer Sir Friedman to be the next Augustus. Fat Xin swallowed the last mouthful of bean dregs, and finally stopped stuffing anything in his mouth - Zheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably - and then watched the fat man pick up the water cup: "Although we said before, you can't sit and chat with fools...... But in real life, it is always easier for a fool to be an opponent than a smart person to be an opponent. β
"Those things are all far away from us, and as I emphasized before, let's not get involved. Zheng Qing reminded the fat man, and suddenly remembered an incident in the cafΓ© earlier, so he asked Xiao Xiao casually:
"Did you forget to buy a gift for Sima?"
"What gift?" Xiao Xiao smiled inexplicably.
"Well, I heard someone ask in the cafΓ© today...... said that Sima didn't even ask you to get up to answer questions in class, thinking that you should have received some gifts before. Zheng Qing scratched his head, and he was also a little confused.
"Oh...... That's right. Xiao Xiao raised her eyebrows, with a thoughtful expression on her face: "I see...... Help me thank you Elena. β
"What do you know? And ...... Who told you it was Elena?!" Zheng Qing's eyes widened suddenly.
"Thank you Jiang Yu for that. Dr. Xiao waved his hand, as if to repel a buzzing mosquito.
Zheng Qing felt like he had eaten a green-headed fly.
"What do you know?" he asked, persistently.
Xiao Xiao sighed, grabbed her hair, and showed an annoyed expression: "That's the one she went on a blind date...... Didn't I say a few days ago that it didn't matter, and the family asked her to see her...... Then she seemed to get angry. β
Lest Zheng Qing still didn't understand, he immediately added: "If she doesn't go to see her, then her family will definitely have a conflict with her." It's just a cutscene anyway, so I don't think it's okay for her to meet her. β
