Chapter 366 Knowledge should be shared, and so should truth
Yao Luo and Latio looked at each other. Even though Yao Luo raised his voice again and again, Latio remained calm.
"I don't deny that the purpose of my trip is more than this, but I have no obligation to explain it to you."
Beneath Ladio's crimson eyeshadow was a deep determination. This will, engraved in his bones, successfully resisted Yao Luo's mental oppression.
“From the beginning to the end, I have always believed in one idea.”
“Knowledge should be shared, and so should truth.”
"So I want to take this opportunity to do something that is not worth doing, to serve as a wake-up call for them."
Yao Luo knew clearly that the "they" that Latio mentioned were the stubborn and hopeless staff members of the Black Tower Space Station that he had described before.
Latio stretched out a pair of hands, and a ball of deep blue flame danced and swayed in his hands, but it could never escape from his palms.
"Phase Spirit Fire?"
Yao Luo stared for a moment and recognized the real name of the object in Latio's hand.
"That's right. Have you heard of the 'Annihilation Gang'?" Latio raised the Phase Spirit Fire and explained to Yao Luo.
"Heard a little bit."
Yao Luo searched the memories in his mind, but the deepest impression of this organization that Nanook looked down upon came from what the genius "Dr. Original" in the simulated universe said...
"Nanook sees less value in the Annihilation Gang than a baby who intentionally broke a vase, right?"
Latio also said this sentence in sync, and then changed the subject and shared the information with Yao Luo.
"That Duke of Hellfire has recently planned some horrific plans against the space station."
"This ball of phase spirit fire is part of his plan."
Latio stared into the flames, his eyes reflecting the fear, panic, and despair of countless staff members after being enveloped by the flames.
"So, you need to use the plan of the Sheep-Headed Duke to guide the story towards..."
Yao Luo did not say anything else. Although he understood Latio's goal, he still did not know why he did this.
Latio remained silent. Theoretically, his memory had already been analyzed by Yao Luo. He believed that Yao Luo already knew the rest of the words even if he didn't say them.
"How much do you know about the destiny of "intellect"? "
"At least, I don't think I will ever be favored by Master Boshi in my lifetime."
Yao Luo tilted his head. He knew how to dissect the insects of the locust plague in the world in more than a thousand ways. He also knew how to squeeze the strongest power out of every bone and muscle joint of the human body, but he was not a brain person.
He could memorize the vast amount of information in the train think tank in a way that was close to cheating, but he lacked the wisdom to add to the think tank and create even one new theorem.
"That's right. Even though you are as powerful as you are, and can almost break the rules of the game, God has not given you a genius mind."
Latio nodded. He admired the fact that Yao Luo did not consider himself a genius. Even if he had a huge knowledge reserve, he was just a carrier of knowledge and a repeater of other people's theories.
“In this galaxy, the gap between ordinary people and geniuses is like the gap between ants and you.”
Latio stretched out two fingers, leaving a tiny distance between his thumb and index finger.
But Yao Luo seemed to see the "Milky Way" in it. "The path of "intellect" has neither reason nor logic. Geniuses walk among the stars, but mediocre people cannot even reach a single footprint of geniuses. Mediocre people can only learn to walk independently and spend their lives falling and getting up."
Latio's tone became meaningful. At this moment, he was more like a doctor than a scholar, a savior who was trying to cure the stubborn disease called "stupidity".
"A failed life is also a life, and they have the right to taste it to the end."
In the eyes of ordinary people, someone like Latio, who holds doctoral degrees in eight fields and has achieved great depth in each field, can already be called a "polymath," just like Leonardo da Vinci, whom Yao Luo knew well.
In the eyes of Master Boshi, the gap between Latio and the "genius" he selected is probably greater than the gap between Latio and ordinary people.
What the Knowledgeable One wants is the "spark of wisdom" of thought that can shake the laws of the entire universe. Only when it reaches this level will it be qualified for Him to take a peek.
As for the "wisdom" achievements developed and created by all the top scholars and geniuses in all fields in the entire universe so far, to Master Boshi, they are just things that he has known countless years ago.
The gap between them was enough to make people despair. Latio understood the gap and faced it.
How could such a person not deserve Yao Luo's respect?
"Books are like medicine. Good reading can cure ignorance. It is better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish."
"This is a saying from my hometown. It is the most appropriate to describe what you have done, Professor Latio."
Yao Luo bowed slightly. At this moment, he finally understood why Latio was not chosen by Master Boshi.
Latio's ambition is not to seek the ultimate knowledge, but to strive for the right of the general public to receive "education" after seeing the desperate gap between "God" and "mediocrity".
He knows himself and the world. Rather than being a "learned god", it would be better to say that he is an "intellectual man".
Such a person does not need to prove himself by the status of an envoy or a genius.
There are thousands of great ways, and all living beings should seek their own "way" the moment they come into this world.
Undoubtedly, Latio has found his own "path".
"The words you gave me are more valuable to me than your help. If there is a chance in the future, let's play chess together again."
Rarely, Latio did not have too much sarcasm. He just took it calmly and said goodbye to Yao Luo.
The two separated in the underground cabin. Yao Luo put the star behind him in the lounge of the space station and came to the platform alone.
There, an ice beauty had been waiting there.
"How is it, dear assistant?"
Ruan Mei made just the right expression and uttered intimate words, both her words and actions made people feel more moved.
But Yao Luo felt that both Ruan Mei and Latio seemed to be cold people, but if he had to choose between them, he would prefer to get along with someone like Latio.
By creating "infinite space", he also wanted to give people in countless worlds a chance to change their own destiny again. Although Latio's thoughts were different, they gave him a sense of comfort that "I am not alone".
"Nothing, everything is just as you expected, Miss Ruan Mei, the "genius".
Ruan Mei tilted her head slightly. Yao Luo seemed indifferent on the surface, but she felt vaguely...
He seemed...happy?
