Chapter 350: The One Who Takes Fun in Taking
Zhao Yuxi thought Meng Shangrong took too long to think about it. This was a very simple question. He had definitely thought about it before. He had the answer when he invited and screened people. Now he was asked to give the answer, but he seemed so embarrassed. It must be because his answer was not glorious. Humph! The scenery in the underground paradise was too different. Of course, his answer was not glorious!
Gu Tingzhou sat upright, waiting and watching: the true face of the paradise was about to surface. I want to see if there is any place that Zhao Yuxi and I can't go!
Meng Shangrong racked his brains to twist the facts and confuse right and wrong: "Because Paradise will cause you too much harm, this dangerous task should be handed over to a more suitable person."
This is a true statement that is completely different from the truth! Zhao Yuxi was very unhappy: If I only had the ability to distinguish true from false words, and did not use cellular vision to observe the past, I would be fooled by you! Gu Tingzhou should not believe this sentence, right? Because this statement does not conform to common sense.
Gu Tingzhou was very angry.
People who enter the park do not come for pleasure, but to take risks? If there are really such noble people doing such noble things, why doesn't Meng Shangrong dare to make these people and these things public? Could it be that these people have a hobby of hiding their identities? Could it be that these people like to be unknown heroes?
Impossible! No one would do something that only has risks but no benefits! It is true that there are dangers and harms in the paradise, but there are also huge unknown benefits hidden in the paradise, and these benefits may be accompanied by dangers and harms. Using darker thoughts to speculate, people enter the paradise and gain benefits, and these benefits are based on the dangers and harms of some people.
Meng Shangrong was doing such a terrible thing, but he dared to deceive Zhao Yuxi with high-sounding words. This is unforgivable!
"Can I know what kind of danger even the ancients cannot bear?" This was the third question Zhao Yuxi asked. If Meng Shangrong answered "no", then Gu Tingzhu's fourth question would be a follow-up to this one. She trusted Gu Tingzhu. There was still some tacit understanding between the two.
"No." Before answering the previous question, Meng Shangrong thought for a long time, but when answering this question, he did not think. After he gave the answer, he realized that something was wrong: they had not asked the fourth question! When they asked this question again, could I give the "correct answer"?
Gu Tingzhu asked his question: "What kind of harm exists in Paradise that even the Ancients cannot bear?"
"The mental and emotional damage."
Mental and emotional damage is a very vague term, like mixing up many things and forcibly summing them up with these two words. Zhao Yuxi saw that this sentence was true, and what happened in the paradise also proved that this sentence was true.
Gu Tingzhou does not think that "mental and emotional harm" is effective against the ancients. The ancients can mobilize a large amount of manpower and material resources to find a special asymptote to control the mind and emotions. In front of the asymptote, the love, hate, attachment, and disgust between people are all defined separately, clearly visible, accurately measured, and easily erased.
To put it another way, even if you are hurt, as long as you find someone who can erase your memory and delete the past, the hurt will disappear along with the past, right? Even if there is an "incurable" injury left, it can be solved by finding another powerful asymptote.
In other words, the reasons Meng Shangrong said are objective, but these two reasons are not valid for the Ancients. Meng Shangrong is capable of being foolproof. Under foolproof circumstances, he did not invite me and Zhao Yuxi, not because of these insignificant injuries. The injuries he mentioned must be something darker and more shameful. "Dean Meng Shangrong, let me ask one more question. Will spiritual and emotional injuries change the asymptotes and asymptotic rates of the Ancients?"
The correct answer is "no". If such a thing happened in Paradise, other ancients would definitely not dare to come. But if he answered "no", Zhao Yuxi would continue to ask why she was not invited. If he answered "yes", it would have the same effect as answering "no", because Zhao Yuxi can distinguish between truth and lies. What if he didn't answer? What would Zhao Yuxi think? Is Zhao Yuxi's answer "yes" or "no"?
Meng Shangrong replied with four words: "No comment."
From the beginning, Zhao Yuxi had been asking questions even though she knew the answer. She asked many questions, not to get answers, but to understand Meng Shangrong's bottom line. She had seen Paradise, and just this one glimpse made her want Meng Shangrong to disappear from the world. The next time she saw the person who looked like gold and fire, maybe she could discuss this matter with her.
Gu Tingzhou is speculating on the answer that Meng Shangrong concealed: Is his answer "yes" or "no"? If it is "no", he does have a reason to avoid answering. If he answers "no", I will ask more questions until the next "no comment". If the answer is "yes", he also has a reason to avoid answering. If such a thing happened in the paradise, would there be any ancient people who dare to go there? People can give up some things for pleasure, but giving up their identity and ability as ancient people for pleasure is too stupid and too abnormal.
"No comment, then no comment. Let's not talk about these things anymore. Let's eat." The group turned the turntable and picked up a piece of bear paw, and also picked up a piece of bear paw for Gu Tingzhou. "This kind of rare food is not easy to find in other places. You should eat more."
The heavy topic came to an end, and Meng Shangrong smiled: "President Zhao's eyes are really sharp. I asked someone to process the bear paw into this shape, and you can see it."
Not every ancient person can feel at ease eating a bear paw that looks like a bear paw, but if they are not told that it is a bear paw, or if the bear paw is made to look very different from a bear paw, they usually won't have this concern.
Gu Tingzhu didn't expect Meng Shangrong to treat him with bear paws. How dare he use this forbidden food to treat guests? Moreover, Zhao Yuxi didn't seem to object to this behavior at all?
If she doesn't object, then don't object. The number of ancients is much smaller than that of bears. The ancients can do far more than ordinary people, and they are subject to far fewer restrictions than ordinary people. As long as she likes, it's okay to eat a little more.
After the dinner, Zhao Yuxi took the case away and Meng Shangrong got the rejuvenation drug.
The case that Meng Shangrong prepared for Zhao Yuxi was about two girls. One more. He also provided two very thick files, which detailed the performance of the asymptotic lines of the two girls, as well as the changes in the asymptotic lines and asymptotic rates. The case was real, and the files were also real.
After seeing off the two branch directors, Meng Shangrong couldn't wait to find someone to test the rejuvenation drug, which was also real.
