Chapter 448: The Shortcomings of Humanity
And once we humans have a first impression of a stranger, we act accordingly based on the first impression. For example, if we think that this person will be a kind person, then we will communicate with him very easily. If we feel that this person is probably not a good person, then we humans will take the initiative to stay away. Sometimes it's really strange that we humans really judge whether this person is a good person because of whether they are smiling or not at first sight when they first meet. As a night clan, do you think this mood of our human race is weird? ”
Cheese thought for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slightly: "That's true." But if that's the case, shouldn't I make a good appearance to meet the mayor? Keep a good first impression. ”
The figure in front of him raised his hand and shook it slightly. Under the light of the elemental lamp, his back now looks very long-
"No, you're wrong. Your first impression wasn't the moment you met Mayor Mare. But much earlier. ”
Cheese: "Earlier?" …… Yesterday? I slept when I came back yesterday, and I wasn't with you when I watched that fight at night, so I couldn't have met him sooner......"
Arrow: "No, no, no, I mean earlier when our mayor was a child, in his childhood, in the stories he had seen, in the rumors he had heard, in the meetings between his friends. Once upon a time, the terrible race of 'vampires' was deeply imprinted in the minds of our Terrans. ”
"The image of a strong monster with sharp fangs, who will pounce on unsuspecting humans in the dark of night to suck their blood out of a thirst for blood, and who wield all sorts of terrible magic, is the first impression of you as a terrible vampire in our mayor's mind. So, no matter how gentle and kind you are today, you will never be able to change our mayor's mind about you just by meeting you once. On the contrary, he will feel that you are very dangerous, and he will think that the gentle attitude you pretend to be must be a disguise to bite him to death and suck his blood behind his back. ”
Cheese's brow furrowed, and he waited until the leader in front of him walked a little farther before he remembered again, and stepped forward to follow: "So, no matter how good I do this time, it's meaningless?" So you're just going to let me pretend to be a thug? ”
The chairman with his hands behind his back walks leisurely, and his walking posture is also very relaxed. Cheese looked at his hands behind his back, the fingernails of these hands revealed a gentle pink, and although the hands were slightly rough, they were still very beautiful.
"Even if I let you pretend to be a gentle gentleman, even if it is a short time, the townspeople will accept you as such a gentle gentleman. So with this arrogant and conceited attitude of your night clan, can you guarantee that you will be able to maintain this gentle temper for the next month, year, or even ten years? Hehe, you can't do it. ”
Cheese had no way to refute it, so he could only nod. And the president in front of him seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and he didn't even look back before continuing-
"Once you can't do it, once you show the fierce side one day, then all the gentle looks you have made before will be broken in an instant. Everyone will think that your previous gentleness is a disguise. Since you can show the fierce side of gentleness, then you must have an even more ferocious side that you haven't shown! You're bound to get worse and more terrible! At that time, the memory of vampire rumors will be irrepressibly awakened in people's hearts, and their attitude towards you will definitely stop treating you as a gentle person, but as a terrible monster. Although this kind of 'ten years of gentleness, one day of fierceness' still seems quite unreasonable to the judgment of our human race as a fierce person, it is a pity that we humans are such a race that likes to replace 'usualness' with 'chance'. ”
Cheese's brow furrowed slightly: "Serendipity? Usualness? What do you mean? ”
The head of the guild in front of him suddenly stopped, and he turned his head with an embarrassed expression on his face. After a moment's hesitation, he exhaled and said as he walked forward, "Let's put it simply...... If we have a lottery box in front of us, we don't know how many tickets are in it or how big the prizes will be. I started to touch this lottery box all the time, and after touching 99 tickets, they all showed that I didn't win. But when I found the hundredth ticket, I suddenly found that it had won a gold coin. ”
"At this time, I have a 99% chance of not winning and a 1% chance of winning. But at this time, we humans don't think that the remaining 99% of the prize box is all no prize, but that there must be a bigger prize in it! Maybe you can find a 100 gold ticket in one go! ”
"But from a rational point of view, the probability of winning is much lower than the probability of not winning, so for this lottery box, not winning is a very common thing, winning is a very accidental thing. We can't always be attached to something that is trivial in our daily lives. It's like I can't be determined not to go down the street because I have a 1% chance that I'll step on dog shit when I'm walking on the road. ”
"The best solution is to do things as much as possible in the case that there is a big chance of something happening, and the accidental situation below 5% should basically be negligible, which is the mathematical application."
"But we human beings often subjectively ignore the usualness, and attach great importance to the accident that occurs with a small probability, and mistakenly regard the event that happens by chance as an event that usually happens. It's like mistakenly believing that the box is actually full of tickets that can be exchanged for a gold coin. ”
"So, once the meekness you are trying to maintain is broken one day, then maintaining a meek persona will certainly be a thankless task, given the principle that most humans misinterpret occasional (harmonious) events as ordinary (harmonious) events."
Cheese looked at Arrow in front of him with a slightly confused expression.
No, it should be said that he is not looking at a simple guild leader now, but looking at the human race to be more correct.
After taking a closer look at the human in front of him, Cheese couldn't help but laugh dryly and said, "You humans, sometimes it's really easy to have inexplicable emotions. ”
The president in front of him turned his head and smiled slightly, and nodded: "Thank you for the compliment." ”
Cheese tossed the cheese in his hand slightly and caught it, and said slowly, "Then what?" Since I can't show gentleness, then the result is the same as before, isn't it? I look so fierce, and it's even more impossible for you humans to get close to me. ”
"So, that's why I don't have to improve your personality in any way." The short man continued to walk forward, saying as he went, "Since we humans are very fond of labeling others, and we are very fond of using the theory of touching prize boxes, why don't we just do it the other way around?" ”
Cheese's footsteps involuntarily stopped again: "Reverse...... Operate? ”
The president walked lightly and said with a grin, "That's right. That's what I've done for you to try to look like a ruffian with no one in your eyes. Next, you'll have to show that bad personality in the minds of the entire town, so that everyone thinks you're a very nasty and rude guy. And I have at least three benefits to molding you into such an outward manifestation. ”
He raised a finger and said as he walked: "First of all, the character of a ruffian like yours does not make people feel that their lives are in danger anytime and anywhere. Fear of a ruffian and fear of a murderer are two completely different fears. ”
Cheese looked at Arrow in front of him with a slightly confused expression.
No, it should be said that he is not looking at a simple guild leader now, but looking at the human race to be more correct.
