I am weak and friendly

Chapter 349 The Truth Behind Lux's "Great Healing"
Tang Yiping frowned in confusion as he looked at Lux.

What do you mean?
Aren't you Wisdom Trees most fond of capturing, killing, devouring, and healing?

What does it mean that they are healing themselves?

“Mr. Li Ke Boren, do you believe in ‘sincerity brings results’?” Lux asked.

This question stumped Tang Yiping.

As an atheist, he knew that everything in this world is not subject to consciousness, but rather follows the laws of physics.

After all, if sincerity is the key to healing, then Master Tang and Master Mu, who had been losing sleep over his illness, as well as his fellow patients who were also sick, would no longer be suffering day and night.

But now, Tang Yiping has actually encountered a few instances where "sincerity brings results".

The most typical example is his little radish, which has provided guidance for many people.

These people were only guided by the little radishes when they encountered difficulties; those who did not encounter difficulties did not experience good results from using the little radishes.

However, after careful consideration, Tang Yiping realized that this guidance was actually at the information level and did not involve the specific physical level.

Therefore, after thinking for a moment, Tang Yiping shook his head and said, "I don't believe that the matter in this world is not subject to will."

“Yes,” Lux said. “There is no such law in this world… but under the canopy of our Tree of Wisdom, ‘sincerity brings results’ can be achieved.”

Tang Yiping stared wide-eyed at Lux.

In that instant, he recalled the towering tree he had just seen in that half-dreaming, half-awake state, its canopy seemingly even larger than the [Sheep of the Crossroads] and the [Mother Tree of Primordial Dust], and its trunk resembling a goddess statue.

All users in "The Survival Guide for the Weak" are gradually being weakened, especially some particularly powerful beings. Their ultimate target for weakening is a specific "weak person," or rather, a certain underlying law that can participate in the operation of the world itself.

Could it be that the ultimate target of the "Wisdom Tree" is the "weak" such as "sincerity brings results"?
The reason why there is no such thing as "sincerity brings results" in this world is because they have not been weakened yet. Therefore, these things are not the underlying laws of the world, but rather the special talents of their race.

“Under the canopy of the Tree of Wisdom, belief will lead to this. In fact, the reason those people’s relatives received treatment is because they were the most sincere people in this hospital,” Lux said.

"Believe and it will happen" reminded Tang Yiping of the "possibility and certainty" in "The Sheep on the Wrong Path" and the "wrong path".

So, the Wisdom Tree is indeed very powerful!

"Of course, the Wisdom Tree's 'Sincerity brings results' is not a panacea. Do you remember? I once said that we, the Wisdom Tree, are best at four things."

Tang Yiping remembered very clearly that Lux once said that their Wisdom Tree was best at "capturing, killing, devouring, and healing," because these four directions seemed too disjointed, which is why Tang Yiping remembered them so vividly.

“In fact, we Wisdom Trees cannot be the best in every field. Most Wisdom Trees choose a direction during their growth period to continuously strengthen their power, and I chose healing,” Lux said.

Understood.

But there's still one thing I can't explain.

"Then... what's the point of drinking blood?" Tang Yiping asked. "Does this 'sincerity brings results' method require a lot of energy?"

“It’s true that wielding power requires a lot of resources,” Lux said. “But I can afford this level of treatment. The blood-drinking is actually for the sake of sincerity.” As Lux spoke, her eyes suddenly became somewhat vacant. She looked at Tang Yiping, yet it was as if she wasn’t looking at anything at all, her gaze blankly fixed on the distance, a look of confusion and bewilderment on her face: “Mr. Li Ke Boren, as a pioneer, have you noticed that the native inhabitants of this world are all very peculiar creatures? They are truly difficult to understand.”

No, absolutely not. To the native inhabitants of this world, you are the strange creatures, the ones who are harder to understand.

“Did you notice? They have to sacrifice something to strengthen their resolve and prove their sincerity,” Lux said. “Actually, it’s not up to me to decide how much blood to draw; it’s their own feeling that they need to give me so much blood in exchange for this kind of treatment. They feel they have to put themselves in grave danger to receive this insignificant treatment…”

“It’s like…” Lux pondered, trying to find the right words.

“A sacrifice,” Tang Yiping said.

Yes, that's right, humans are such creatures.

They must pay a price to solidify their resolve.

Sometimes, in order to strengthen your resolve, you have to be willing to pay the price.

Throughout history, there have been countless stories like this, and similar events continue to occur around Tang Yiping.

This applies to both theists and atheists.

Tongtong's mother, Sister Gao, felt that she had to weaken herself to the point of being almost unable to get out of bed in order for Tongtong to recover; while Chenchen's mother was willing to trade her life for another's.

“I’m sorry, Li Ke Boren.” Lux lowered her head. “I can’t control this process. This is how the power of our Wisdom Tree works… I… am still too weak.”

Then she looked up again, a rare hint of playfulness in her eyes, "Of course, I chose to drink blood... because I need to complete my blood-drinking mission..."

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you," Tang Yiping said.

“It’s okay, if it’s Mr. Rick Boren, he can do whatever he wants to me!” Lux said, and then her hair automatically turned into a heart shape again.

Stop it! Lux, control your partner! You're letting it affect you!

You are a steadfast tree, a goddess who listens to prayers! Don't be as foolish as Lola!
However, Tang Yiping felt that something was still wrong. He pondered for a moment and then asked, "Lux, if your power is that sincerity brings results, then why was I healed before?"

Lux had cast the [Great Healing] spell on Tang Yiping more than once before, and each time she felt healed, her body and mind were refreshed, and even the various injuries on her body were greatly relieved.

“Because of Mr. Li Ke Boren, you felt very comfortable and much better at the time, so you were treated! This is also a case of sincerity working together!” Lux said.

Tang Yiping's eyes widened. "Is that so?"
Is this what's known as the placebo effect?
Do you feel healed, and therefore you are healed?

Ah, how shallow I am!

As long as you have brainwave stimulation, you'll feel like life is amazing and you can be treated.

Sure enough, this powerful healing technique is perfect for me!
Rather than...

"Lux, how many more times do you need to drain blood?" Tang Yiping asked. "How about trying the capture, killing, and gradual consumption route?"

“Mr. Rick Boren, are you going hunting again?” Lux smiled. “Then, count me in!”
