Chapter 17: The Beginning of the Assessment
What is it that makes wisdom terrible?
For humans, the greatest advantage over other creatures is intelligence.
Because of wisdom, human beings can explore the unknown, and then increase wisdom through the exploration of the unknown, and transform it into knowledge to pass on to future generations.
It is precisely because of this inherited knowledge that future generations do not have to start from scratch to explore the unknown, but as time goes by, more and more knowledge is passed on, and people can only understand a very small part of it.
The difference between people in wisdom lies in the amount of knowledge they have and the ability to use it.
Suppose that people with the same amount of knowledge are faced with a bowl of rice, and their wisdom plays different roles, and the results obtained are also different.
An ordinary person may add a little water to steam it for half an hour to become a lunch at noon, a person who is a little clever and business-minded may process it and wrap it into zongzi leaves and sell it for greater profits, and a real big businessman may process rice carefully into wine and then sell it, but the same raw materials are much more profitable than small businessmen.
For these three kinds of people, there is not much difference in the amount of knowledge they need to face a bowl of rice, and the reason why there are three completely different results is the difference in the way of thinking between them, that is, the level of wisdom.
Mediocre people look at rice or rice, small businessmen look at rice but rice dumplings, and big businessmen look at rice but wine.
Why is Shi Zixi known as 'absolute wisdom'?
It is precisely because she can think of things that others can't think of in the same situation and maximize the use of the resources in her hands that she is a wise man!
Unfortunately, although wisdom is terrible, its limitations are too great, to put it bluntly, wisdom is a means to achieve the goal, and if you want to be shortcut, you must have available resources to use.
The reason why Shi Zixi feels that she has 'absolute wisdom' is unmatched, because the poet she works for can provide her with all the prerequisites she wants to use!
But what if you don't have these prerequisites?
For example, if a wise man who is powerless encounters a warrior who wants to take his life in an open field, how can a wise man who has no strength to use resist?
Of course, a wise person like Shi Zixi would not put himself in such a situation in the first place, after all, falling into such a situation is a miscalculation in itself, and naturally he cannot be called a wise man.
But what about Yunxiao? He doesn't have Shi Zixi's transcendent wisdom, but his calmness can make up for the lack of wisdom, when a person can keep a completely calm state to think about problems, then the problem can often be solved, because in the case of absolute calm, everything can be counted!
The young and weak Yun Xiao, who had no relatives in the world after the death of his parents, and his sister, who was also young, just fell into such a situation.
What's even more terrifying is that they are young but they have wealth that can be called rich compared to ordinary people, and the wealth at this moment is not a point of strength, but like a spiral nest that makes people fall into hell forever!
If it were someone else, I am afraid that I don't know which horn I would die in under such a spiral nest, but Yun Xiao and his sister are still alive and well, these are Yun Xiao's calmness in play.
Yun Xiao was not hit by the death of his parents, but in the face of the heavy reality, no matter how calm he was, his personality still changed.
Recalling the little kid with a frown back then, Shi Zixi couldn't connect him at that time with the present, it was completely two extremes.
You must know that Shi Zixi took the initiative to talk to Yun Xiao when she saw the wisdom that Yun Xiao had, but the reply she got was still fresh in her memory.
"Sick!"
To this day, Shi Zixi still remembers Yun Xiao's cool expression, and the two words that he spit out almost made her, who had always been unfazed, go berserk.
But then again, whoever is suddenly pulled by someone and says a lot of inexplicable things will be like this, right?
No matter how clever she is, to put it bluntly, Shi Zixi back then was just a little girl who was not much older than Yun Xiao, and it was normal to have a child's heart.
It is precisely because of Yun Xiao's answer that the two really have the opportunity to become friends......
In Yun Xiao's waiting, the time for the martial arts assessment has finally arrived.
Yun Xiao's home is in Jiangxia District, not far from Jiang'an District, and it is precisely because of this that he has heard of the name of the Chen family.
Whether it is Jiang'an District or Jiangxia District, it is an area close to the city wall in the entire Jiangcheng base city, and most of these areas are inhabited without a back. Jing was an ordinary person, while a warrior generally lived in the center of the city.
Yun Xiao lives in a small villa left by him and Yun Yao's parents, you must know that Yun Xiao's parents were general-level martial artists during their lifetimes, and it is difficult to get a villa in the center of the city, but it is relatively easy to buy a villa in this area close to the city wall.
According to the unspoken rules among warriors, no one will make a move on the residence of the orphans of warriors, and this house will be confiscated even if no one lives in it, and no one can get benefits, so Yun Xiao and Yun Yao live well, but unfortunately they once had the experience of living in a villa and eating air.
To say that although Yun Xiao handed over most of the inheritance, the part left behind was enough for him and Yun Yao to be fed and clothed, but unfortunately Yun Yao suffered from the 'Angel of Death', which is a money-burning terminal disease known as the money disease, and Yun Xiao fell to the point where he couldn't eat.
As for making money with wisdom, it is even more impossible, who would trust a small child? And at that time, I don't know how many scheming people are staring at it, and my parents are not without enemies, and if they find out that they are special and dead, they will die in vain.
After all, Yun Xiao doesn't have the wisdom of Shi Zixi, maybe Shi Zixi can live well even if he encounters the same situation as him, right?
Of course, for Shi Zixi, what he is most afraid of is to meet a person like Yun Xiao who is unmoved under any circumstances, the calmer the person, the less likely it is to make mistakes, and for the wise man who is cunning, this kind of person is the most difficult......
The location of the martial arts assessment is in a suburb of the city that is specially circled as the assessment location near the city wall next to Jiangxia District, and the martial arts assessment is different from others, as a martial artist enjoys various privileges at the same time, he has to go out to fight monsters, so if he wants to become a martial artist, he must naturally have the strength to kill monsters.
And the Martial Arts Assessment Office turned out to be within the giant city wall that completely protected the entire Jiangcheng Base City!
Walking to the gate of the martial arts assessment office, there were already many people who had entered it first, and just as Yun Xiao was about to enter, an annoying voice suddenly sounded on the side.
"Cut, why do even little kids like to run to the martial arts assessment office to play now? Hey, boy, your mom told you to go back to dinner! ”
Turning around, a young man about twenty-five years old stared at Yun Xiao with disdain.
The young man's name is Cheng Fan, he is a student of an ordinary academy in Jiangcheng, and he is just twenty-five years old this year and has the physical fitness of a martial artist, which makes him a star-like existence in the school.
You must know that even for Jiangcheng Academy, there are not many people who can have the physical fitness of a martial artist before the age of thirty, let alone other schools, as long as he can pass the martial arts assessment, then he will be admitted to Jiangcheng Academy, after all, there is no such thing as 'grade' in the martial arts department of the current university, and some are just 'age'!
As long as he has the strength of a martial artist, even if he is still a high school student, he will automatically have a university status, for example, if Yun Xiao can pass, then he will be a student of the '16th grade' of the university.
And although this does not mean that the strength is strong, it does represent a terrible talent!
Cheng Fan has been praised by the teachers and students in the school after learning that he has reached the martial arts level physical fitness, how do you know that this is nothing in Jiangcheng Academy, to say that martial artists under the age of 20 are rare, but martial artists over the age of 20 can grab a lot of them.
Glancing at Cheng Fan with flat eyes, Yun Xiao's expression did not fluctuate in the slightest, let alone choose to reply, but turned his head as if he had lost interest and walked towards the martial arts assessment office.
When has Cheng Fan, who was praised in school, been ignored like this? In fact, he didn't have any malicious intent, he just wanted to show off in front of a 'little kid' like Yun Xiao, to put it bluntly, he was just a spoiled big child.
How did he know that Yun Xiao had slaughtered 30 martial artists not long ago, and he couldn't even mention the slightest interest in someone like him who had the physical fitness of a martial artist but was not yet a martial artist?
"Hmph, the front is the place where the martial artist is assessed, it's not something that a little kid like you can go, hurry up and go home to find your mother!"
Yun Xiao's steps towards the martial arts assessment office suddenly stopped, and when Cheng Fan was about to show a disdainful smile and then taunt twice, Yun Xiao suddenly turned his head again.
This time he finally opened his mouth, but unfortunately he made someone angry half to death.
"Idiot."
If there were mood fluctuations in Yun Xiao's words, Cheng Fan would not be so angry, but there was no fluctuation in Yun Xiao's voice, as if he was stating a fact, which was what made Cheng Fan angry.
"Hmph, wait, let's see how the person in charge of the assessment cleans you up."
However, the scene in front of him made his eyes almost pop out......
