Chapter 7457 (Seven Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty-Seven) Beating

"Haha! I know what you're trying to say," the gray-handed man laughed.

The brown-handed man asked, "Do you know what I'm trying to say?"

"Let me put it another way. Instead of saying 'I know,' let me say what I think you're trying to express," the gray-handed man said with a smile.

“Sure,” said the brown-handed man. “Go ahead.”

The gray-handed man chuckled, “There isn’t necessarily a conflict. ‘The implicit meaning you’re thinking’ might very well be consistent with ‘the implicit meaning you think I’m thinking.’ In such a case, confirming whether ‘the implicit meaning you’re thinking’ and ‘the implicit meaning I’m thinking’ are consistent is equivalent to confirming whether ‘the implicit meaning you think I’m thinking’ and ‘the implicit meaning I’m thinking’ are consistent. Although your purpose in taking this step is to confirm whether ‘the implicit meaning you’re thinking’ and ‘the implicit meaning I’m thinking’ are consistent, if ‘the implicit meaning you’re thinking’ and ‘the implicit meaning you think I’m thinking’ are consistent,’ after I say ‘confirm,’ you can simultaneously confirm both—one is whether ‘the implicit meaning you’re thinking’ and ‘the implicit meaning I’m thinking’ are consistent; the other is whether ‘the implicit meaning you think I’m thinking’ and ‘the implicit meaning I’m thinking’ are consistent.”

The brown-handed man laughed and said, "You emphasized those words very much."

"Which words?" the gray-handed man asked.

“It’s those things like ‘the subtle one you’re thinking of,’ ‘the subtle one you think I’m thinking of,’ ‘the subtle one I’m thinking of,’ you say. Every time you bring these up, it’s like you’re pounding on them,” the brown-handed man laughed.

"What are you pounding?" the gray-handed man asked with a smile.

"I don't know what you're pounding, but when you use those words, it gives me the feeling that you're pounding something," the brown-handed man laughed.

"Then just consider it as me hitting you back then," said the gray-handed man.

“Even though you don’t know what you’re pounding, do you?” the brown-handed man asked with a smile.

“That’s right,” the gray-handed man laughed. “There’s a reason why I said it was so heavy.”

"What's the reason?" the brown-handed man asked. "The reason is very obvious, I'm emphasizing it," the gray-handed man laughed. "Don't you think these are a bit convoluted to explain?"

“It is a bit convoluted,” said the brown-handed man.

"So, when it comes to these topics, I emphasize them. I want to stress them out. Also, by emphasizing them, I can clearly distinguish these topics from the content before or after them," the gray-handed man said with a smile.

“It certainly had that effect,” said the brown-handed man.

"You think so too?" Grayhand asked.

“Yes, now that you mention it, I think about it and it’s quite obvious,” the brown-handed man laughed. “I guess the more obvious the distinction, the better?”

"Yue?" the gray-handed man asked.

"What's wrong? Don't you agree with what I said?" the brown-handed man asked.

“I’m thinking about this ‘more’ you mentioned,” said the gray-handed man.

"Are you thinking about whether there's a degree to it, is that right?" the Brown-Handed Man asked.

"I think so," the gray-handed man laughed.

The brown-handed man chuckled, “What I understand is that you’re worried that what I said about ‘the more obvious the better’ isn’t necessarily true.”

The gray-handed man chuckled, “I have indeed thought in that direction. Some things seem to be just right when done to a certain degree; too much is as bad as too little. However, this matter doesn’t seem to be like that.”
