It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

Pan Ling was stunned. She didn't expect that she still couldn't escape the master's eyes, because she was indeed not as strong as she looked on the surface, and she didn't feel good in her heart. But she was not a really heartless person, so how could she break up so easily?

It's just that the master asked her to comfort her sister, but she couldn't comfort her with this mentality, right? That wouldn't be called comforting, it would be more like sisters crying together.

However, Xu Shi’s words surprised her a little. Her master obviously didn’t get along well with Brother Luo Yu, but he didn’t force her to break off all ties with him?

Is this really the petty-minded master? She knew Xu Shi was a vindictive person.

"Of course, if you must associate with him, you should also consider whether your master will fly into a rage and beat your butt."

She was just wondering when she heard Xu Shi make another patch on what he said. She almost lost her balance and fell on him.

"Master, didn't you just say, let me get comfortable first?"

"That's right, but this is what I want as a teacher. I don't need to consider your feelings first."

Xu Shi popped a peanut into his mouth and said, "This is another lesson I taught you. No matter what you do, you must have enough ability to back it up. In other words, if you crush me in every aspect, then you should be the first to feel happy, not me."

"……Yes."

Pan Ling stood firm and nodded vigorously.

It has to be admitted that Xu Shi did seem very irresponsible, but as long as he was willing to teach, every conversation gave her a lot of inspiration.

Moreover, she felt relieved when her master said this, because this was what he was like... The girl had been following him for a while and had a relatively clear understanding of her master.

Shen Qin, who was standing behind him, felt mixed emotions when he heard this.

How should I put it... I clearly feel that this guy is not a very patient person, but he is surprisingly attentive when teaching his apprentice.

But he also had some personal opinions, and he brought up Luo Yu's matter specifically to pull him down, hiss...

"Brother Xu is in a good mood."

After teaching his apprentice, Cheng Gujian appeared beside him at the right time and recited a sentence with a smile on his face.

"Being idle is also idle."

Xu Shi returned the smile, "Where's Brother Cheng? How do you feel about the recent training?"

"It's still very effective. Miss Yu's training method has found some problems we had in the past."

Cheng Gujian nodded and said, "Of course, these weapons are indeed good and have greatly improved the strength of the Royal Court Knights."

"The royal family's own training methods also have merit in our opinion."

Xu Shi responded politely, "I see that most of the people here are 'God's Chosen Ones', but they are very organized. Brother Cheng, do you have any experience? Let me study it carefully?"

"In short, we suppressed their differences as much as possible, leaving only the similarities."

Cheng Gujian said leisurely, "The abilities of the Chosen Ones vary, and teaching everyone in accordance with their aptitude is not always a good idea, so we have always tried to use their common points to train them in order to maximize their coordination. Of course, there are also detailed rules. If Brother Xu needs them, I will make a copy for you."

"Then it'll be hard work."

Xu Shi nodded. This was indeed a solution. The "Upgraders" in the Night Sin City were relatively scattered. Many of them could not gather together, and there was no systematic way of practicing. The only way to solve the problem was to rely heavily on mechanization and weapons. Now there was one more way.

At least for low-level "promoters", this is a very effective method, but it is unnecessary for high-level ones. For example, do you ask Su Lin and Xia Wuyou to suppress their nature and be consistent with others? Instead, it is putting the cart before the horse.

"As it should be, this is also part of the cooperation."

Cheng Gujian waved his hand and changed the subject, "I heard that the trading points approved for you have already opened?"

"Time waits for no one."

Xu Shi sighed and said that if they wanted to infiltrate, then since everything was ready, the sooner the better.

The person in charge of this matter is Xie Qingyan. Xu Shi also selected a group of people from the fleet to help her. Although they are highly modified, there is no difference to be seen, so the locals will not think that outsiders are monsters.

Xia Ke'an also went with them, which is why the little follower was absent today.

"Yes, time waits for no one."

Cheng Gujian agreed with this statement. "The team to attack Poseidon will set out today. The preparations of the Church are no slower than ours... I know that they seem to have increased their manpower, and even added three more silver knights. Brother Xu is still very powerful."

Xu Shi just smiled. It’s not like you don’t know what’s going on.

But he didn't care. Even if the under-the-table deal was not put on the table, people would think that you might be closer to the royal family. If it was made clear, just go with the flow and it wouldn't have much impact.

But he did not expect that the butler Chen who followed him that day was actually the brother of the current commander of the Royal Court Knights. It was said that he retired due to injuries... My goodness, you are really a grand duke. You have mastered the art of reusing talents.

"Brother Cheng still has more energy."

He said this sincerely.

"Each each other."

Cheng Gujian accepted it calmly, "If I went to your place, I would probably be the one complimenting you."

"No, I'm just an employee. I'll do whatever the Governor tells me to do."

"That's even more mutual. I am just assisting the Queen."

The two of them praised each other for some business, and then it was getting late. The training on the training ground came to an end, and the knights dispersed in twos and threes.

"Want to come to my house for a drink?"

Seeing this, Cheng Gujian invited him, "I feel bad for not hosting you well last time."

"Let's have the celebratory drink when we get back."

Xu Shi smiled and declined, "Or tomorrow? I'm going to the trading post to check out the situation."

"Then tomorrow."

Cheng Gujian didn't force it. After a few pleasantries, he prepared to lead the team away.

"By the way, Brother Cheng, I'm curious about something."

Xu Shi suddenly called him, "When you, the Chosen Ones, practice your abilities, do you only rely on your own training? Or do you also have some auxiliary means?"

"What do you mean specifically?"

Cheng Gujian thought for a moment and replied, "It will be used when it is necessary. The royal family has some medicines to break the shackles, and the church also has means such as baptism. I have experienced it myself."

"Is that so? Then we are almost the same."

Xu Shi nodded slightly, "Let's talk about it when we have time."

"no problem."

The question was asked abruptly, but Pan Ling, who was standing by, knew that the master was asking it directly to her.

Is this a reassurance for taking medicine to improve your strength? After all, his persuasiveness alone may not be enough, but someone like Duke Gu Jian is important enough, right? If he doesn't shy away from it, what are you afraid of?

To put it bluntly, such methods are available everywhere, but she had been staying on the island before and had no access to them.

However, she didn't expect Xu Shi to do this on purpose. She originally thought that the matter would be over after a few words of comfort from him... Although he said he didn't consider it, in fact, Xu Shi always took her feelings into consideration and would not be over until any problem was solved perfectly.

From a human perspective, Pan Ling absolutely could not admit that Xu Shi was a good person.

But judging from these minor details, he is really a good master...

She had long forgotten the idea of switching to Madam Xia, mainly because she herself felt there was no difference.

Because, it seems that Master Xia herself doesn’t have a strong opinion, and she still listens to the master in many matters...

If she really did that, she would definitely get a broken butt.

Ten thousand words, I will do what I say, and I will finish the rest as soon as possible.

By the way, let me explain the issue of lifeboat ethics. I will use the wiki version, which is more intuitive than the textbook version.

In 1974, Garrett Hardin published two articles in Psychology Today and BioScience explaining the lifeboat ethics model.

The maximum number of people on a lifeboat (60) and the current situation at sea (50 on board and 100 in the sea) are set

Harding pointed out that there were three possible solutions for the people on the boat:

1. All 100 people were taken aboard, and the boat began to sink, taking everyone with it to their deaths. Harding called it "complete justice, complete disaster."

2.100. Choose 10 people from the 10 drowning people to get on the boat. Harding believed that reducing the safety factor to the minimum would pay a price sooner or later, and then asked, "Which people should we let on the boat?"

3. Refuse to allow any swimmers to board the boat. “Although you may need to be prepared to resist forced boarding,” this will ensure the safety of those on board.
