Chapter 80: Consultation
The disciples' templates have never been able to be further improved, and they can't be improved when they are stuck at the micro blue level, which has become a heart disease for pandas.
He thought about it for several days, but finally he couldn't help it, and went to the north to find the person who was recognized as the best at cultivating talents among the traversers.
The Demon King of the North, Count Dracula, Locke.
After repeated discussions, Locke finally chose "Dracula" as his title. That is, his current official name is Rock Dracula, or the original Count Dracula, Rock I.
The Trera royal family doesn't have a special opinion about this title - there is no powerful vampire called "Count Dracula" in this world, there is no castlevania, there is no "400 Years of Horror" or "Van Helsing", and there is no big vote to mention that vampires are almost certain to ask the old-timer to come out and run a show. For the Terrera royal family, "Dracula" is just a very normal title, nothing special.
The traversers are generally positive about Locke's becoming Count Dracula, some people think that the name is not right, and now it is justified, and some people simply think that this name is very suitable for him - after all, he is indeed a vampire, and he is not a low-end product like the necromantic system, but a big man of the demon dragon system.
...... This is precisely the positioning of Count Dracula in the "Castlevania" series of games.
For Panda, Locke is his friend, and although they have different views on many issues, their overall outlook on life and values are still about the same, and that's enough.
Locke was delighted by the panda's visit, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he first complained.
"Why did you go so fast last time, at least you should have stayed in the North for a few days!" he said, "Driving out a legendary paladin, at least celebrate." β
"Didn't we just drink wine and barbecue that day?"
"That's not enough! You have to be drunk for at least three days!"
The panda smiled, he knew that the cassava harvest here in the north was good, and he had saved a lot of home-brewed wine. Locke didn't have any need for money, and the North didn't particularly lack anything, so he stored the home-brewing in his underground cellar as a reserve.
In this world, liquor is a good commodity. From the islands of the South China Sea to the snow-capped mountains of the Northland, all cities and villages sell alcohol, which is always in short supply and out of stock.
After all, wine is made from grain, and the world's agriculture is not developed, and the grain production is not high.
Many people who came to the north were shocked by the fact that wine was produced here - according to their imagination, the north should be cold, desolate, and remote, the land was barren, and the people were poor, and they could only barely make ends meet after all year round, and even the lords could not necessarily eat enough every day...... That's pretty much it.
...... Actually, they were right, at least five or six years ago, in the north, it was indeed like this.
However, after several years of construction, the situation in the north has improved considerably. Locke strictly forbade the fighting between the Tarakhanids and the forest barbarians, severely beating the local noble lords and leading the peasants to start farming. With his powerful force, he can be used for ten or twenty people in the construction of water conservancy and soil improvement, and he can use it for ten or twenty people, even if it is a day or two, and accumulate over time, plus other traversers who come to help from time to time, he has completed many projects unconsciously. At present, almost every village in the north has good farmland and water conservancy facilities, and with cassava and beans alone, one mu of land can produce nearly 400 catties of grain a year.
This harvest is definitely a high yield, and it will definitely be shocking to get out. However, the lords were reluctant to ask about the matterβthey preferred not to know anything themselves, and to be at home at ease, and those who knew about it would not spread the word.
The end result is that more and more wine is stored in the underground cellar.
Panda and Locke laughed and chatted for a few words, and then got down to business.
"I have seven apprentices, and they practice hard, and their strength is not bad now, but the character template has always stayed at the point of micro blue, and they can't be improved, why?"
Locke smiled and asked, "Did you give them a culture lesson?"
"Well, they all have basic literacy skills. It may not be possible to write a book or anything, but it is absolutely fine to read and write daily letters or official documents. β
"So, have you given them ideological and political education?"
The panda was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you still need ideological and political education?"
Locke sighed and said, "What do you think is the difference between the different templates?"
"Different talents?" the panda asked tentatively, after a moment's thought.
Locke shook his head: "How can there be a difference in talent for the same person? What's more, many people's template changes are sudden, even if there is a change in talent, it won't be so drastic." β
"Then I don't know. β
"The changes in the template mainly lie in the 'attitude towards life' and 'social positioning'. Locke held up two fingers and explained, "The attitude of life is a person's ideals, and the degree of effort and self-discipline he has." A person who works hard and is self-disciplined, and then has practical strength, then his template will definitely be very advanced, at least also a purple card. Social positioning, on the other hand, is a person's status in society and the comprehensive result of his social influence. A noble-born lord, his social positioning must be relatively high, even if he himself does not seek to be motivated, eats and sleeps every day and lives like Lao Bai, his social influence will also allow him to have a template of no low level. β
Panda nodded: "So the change in the template is mainly the change in life attitude and social status?"
This is generally true, but it is not all so. Let's say a young man who trains himself very hard and wants to be strong. But he can't find a good teacher to teach him, so no matter how hard he tries, it will be very difficult to step into the intermediate level. His template is probably green at the top, and it can't be higher. β
"That's right. β
"But if he finds a good teacher β let's say you. If you are willing to teach him all your skills, and with his own efforts, then he will almost certainly be able to step into the intermediate level, and even have a good chance of stepping into the advanced level. "That way, his stencil is at least blue, isn't it?"
Panda nodded repeatedly: "That's right!
"So here's the problem. Locke laughed, "They've gotten stronger, but do they really understand how to use their 'power'?"
The panda was stunned.
"As a teacher, you taught your disciples martial arts and culture, which is of course good, but you should also teach them something else. Locke smiled and patted the panda on the shoulder, "Teach them how to live in the world, what kind of ideals they should pursue, and what kind of life they should live...... It is not enough for a person to only think about getting stronger. He must truly establish his goals in order to find a place in society. β
