"It should be because of the concept and cost, right?" Ma Bin was very interested in this topic, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the store before the store closed in the evening, so the two of them each took a bottle of cold beer and secretly ran to the alley behind the store to chat.

"Ideas? Cost? ”

"Yes!" Ma Bin said with certainty. "Let's start with concepts! Huaxia has always been a farmer and a businessman, and in front of the scholar class, the other three classes are simply scum! In ancient times, agriculture has always been the foundation, but except for a show at the beginning of spring, where have you seen a record of scholars going down to work in the fields? It's all hired hands and servants, right? Monks were supposed to be higher in ancient society than ordinary officials and scholars, so how could they do these things with their own hands? ”

"But they don't have to do it themselves!" Sun Yang said. "It's just to drive away the ghosts, and you don't need them to do it at all!"

"That's pretty much it!" Ma Bin said. "Have you ever seen a factory where the general manager is idle and watches the workers on the production line? It is all the work of the workshop director, section leader, and team leader below. Really worked hard to cultivate for several years or even more than ten years, and got ahead, but in the end, you still have to drive ghosts to do farm work in the field? If it were me, it would be uncomfortable, wouldn't it? ”

"But it's ...... efficient"

"The powerful sect should not have to worry about food and clothing and not have a headache for wealth, for them, what is the point of such a thing as efficiency? Even if something like a ghost is really used to make money, it must be much faster to steal it than to let them do it, right? ”

Sun Yang remembered the Zhiwei he had seen, and the warlocks who really had the ability in them did rarely worry about the problem of livelihood, and when they had no money, they could directly use the method of five ghosts to carry them to the treasury of the rich man or even the government, and few warlocks would use this spell to farm or work.

The only ones with similar records are those immortal hermits who live in seclusion on the mountain, but they themselves don't have much demand for things like food, and even if they drive ghosts and demons to serve themselves, most of them are cultivating spiritual fields used to refine elixir. In some stories, helpful immortals sometimes help to eradicate locust plagues, pray for rain, and even occasionally help farmers harvest their crops before natural disasters, but this rarely becomes the norm.

Is it really a matter of perception?

"If one day." He said to Ma Bin. "Firefighters are no longer humans, but a practitioner who drives ghosts to extinguish fires. Dangerous work at height is not done by people, but by ghosts......"

"Then you'd have to make the streets full of monks, at least like doctors, engineers, programmers, and they can learn in a few years, otherwise it's unlikely. That's the question of cost. Ma Bin took a sip of beer, shook his head and said. It's an interesting idea, but there must be a reason why no one has done it for thousands of years. I understand your thoughts, you want to make practitioners become like ordinary people, and their spells are all converted into civilian ones, so that practitioners and ordinary people can live together naturally and equally. But that's really unrealistic. You may not feel it yourself, but do you know how many people in our bureau have spent their entire lives unable to cultivate a sense of qi? Cultivators themselves are not ordinary people, and talents, good teachers, and opportunities are all indispensable. Your ideal is like, hey, why don't we popularize postdoctoral education? Wouldn't that significantly improve the quality of the people? But not everyone can study postdoc, and if it weren't for the expansion, most people might not even finish high school. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Sun Yang was silent.

"Like you said, it's good to have a monk for the firefighters. However, the cost of training a monk who can cope with this situation may be more difficult than training 10,000 qualified firefighters. You worked so hard to train him, don't you want him to do something more valuable? ”

Sun Yang finally sighed.

Ma Bin's words make a lot of sense, he just can't accept the reality that his ideas are not realistic at all.

Could it be that these aliens really have no way to truly integrate into this world, and can only hide their true abilities and live in other guises?

"Don't think about that." Ma Bin patted him on the shoulder and touched the beer bottle in his hand with him. "If you are not in your position, you are now just a small bookstore owner, a yin and yang warlock who is well-known in the rich circle, so why don't you do your duty? Why bother yourself with questions that shouldn't be on your way to think about it at all? ”

Sun Yang smiled bitterly.

Ma Bin is right, maybe he really thinks too much.

But after all he had been through, how could he do it without thinking about anything?

"You're going to catch ghosts tomorrow?" Ma Bin asked suddenly. "Do you want a helper?"

"You want to go?" Sun Yang asked.

"It's kind of ...... It's really boring to be a data administrator. ”

Sun Yang thought for a few seconds, and then nodded: "Whatever you want, anyway, you have the protection of the talisman, and ordinary ghosts shouldn't be able to hurt you." ”

"I'll go too, I'll go!" Li Li's voice suddenly shouted.

"Li Li, you eighth woman!" Sun Yang was taken aback. "You're eavesdropping on us!"

"Don't blame me!" Li Li said. "Who let you two be sneaky, and who knows if you're out there messing around?"

Sun Yang stretched out his finger and was about to flick it heavily on her head, but when he saw Lu Xiaoling hurriedly running back to the counter, he couldn't help but sigh. "It's up to you, but it might take a night, can you stay up late?"

"When the old lady jumped all night, you were still liquid!" Li Li was immediately excited. "So what are we going to prepare? Give me some of those charms! ”

"Even if I'm willing to give it to you, can you use it?" Sun Yang said angrily.

"It's ...... too," Li Li nodded. Then you are not allowed to do it, and Xiaoling is not allowed to do it! It's going to be boring if you two make a move! You two are only allowed to sweep the formation on the side, and this matter will be left to me and Ma Bin!" ”

She already likes these weird things, otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten into big trouble for playing Disc Fairy a few years ago.

Sun Yang frowned slightly, but Ma Bin and Li Li both had the genuine amulets he gave them, and if anything happened, a genuine defilement talisman could also remove all the ghosts in that house in a few seconds.

So he finally nodded.

"Oh yes!" Li Li exclaimed excitedly.
