Chapter 16 Section fifteen

The interior decoration is based on yellow, there are not too many customers, and the noise of chatter is chaotic. On the way home from Shihe, we planned to negotiate again, so for the time being, the two of us walked into a random coffee shop we saw. Tendo was across from me, crossing his arms with a displeased face. "I always feel that you are not motivated." When I said that, Tendo didn't answer right away. Thinking about it carefully, he usually has this expression, but due to working together in the past few months, I can already see his mood at that time from the subtle changes on his face.

It can be seen from his current face that he is dissatisfied with something, and it should not be because he was excluded from this plan, but it seems that he is resentful at the task entrusted by Shuichi Shin, which is to find someone to make Kaori pregnant. "I was treated as a prop." He said every word.I didn't understand what he meant, so I tilted my head and urged him to continue. "Perhaps it's not for me to say that. I know a lot, and I can do a lot if I want to. I've been a smart person since I was a child, and my ability to store knowledge and apply it when necessary is outstanding. At least in my previous life, I have never seen anyone surpass me in this area.

"Using knowledge, that's what it sounds like, but it's the most powerful weapon in life. Others look like a bunch of idiots to me, and I always wonder why they don't even take this for granted. have no idea. “What I mean by being smart is not the same as being smart and getting high grades in school. Learning in school feels like physics is physics, math is math, all packaged and fed into the mouths of students. Just remember these single Knowledge is something that everyone can do. What I mean by smart is not the same thing. Real knowledge is to extract the key content from these single pieces of knowledge, and then link them together in a way that is convenient for you to recreate. Only through combination can we finally reach the state of using these true knowledge. Only those who build their own database and use true knowledge in this way are truly smart guys.

"For example, to predict how the majority of the world will behave, it is necessary to use the so-called group psychology, but it is by no means using the packaged knowledge base of group psychology alone. The group psychology is only obtained from the individual The statistical results of psychological activities, so analysts must first master the basic psychology of the individual as the goal, in other words, what kind of activities the crowd will take is just repeated individual experiments to obtain data. When using these data, in order to Analyzing data requires knowledge of social statistics. In order to learn such a science, one also needs to understand the basic theory of mathematical statistics in mathematics. If these data come from experiments carried out in foreign countries, you may also need ethnology and religion. knowledge. For example, the data were collected from Christian countries, and it would be unreasonable to impose them on the Japanese. Therefore, the data must be corrected on the basis of estimating how much the difference in basic consciousness between countries and ethnic groups affects the data. use it later.

"So, in order to solve a problem, you need a variety of knowledge. This is how knowledge is applied. Those who are ridiculed as professional idiots generally lack the ability to apply it. The division of majors is the classification of knowledge—— That is to say, the packaging I mentioned is just for the convenience of teaching. The school stands on the standpoint of the teacher and teaches the packaged individual subjects from the teacher to the students. However, if the receiver just absorbs it as it is, it will be used separately. The knowledge that is still in the package is in the brain, and it will not play any role. It must be in a state that can be used flexibly. The database in my head is probably the highest level in terms of richness of content and ease of use. Well, that's not ego at all."

His tone was flat, but I was petrified when he said these words, and the meaning in them seemed reasonable.His self-analysis is not contradictory to what I generally feel in the interaction with Tiantong, which is his fundamental thing. On the contrary, through his language, the image of Tiantong in my heart can be focused. At that time, I even felt A rush of pleasure that comes with understanding. He took a deep breath and continued. "But I'm missing one important thing, self-awareness, or sense of purpose... in short, what I want to do, what I want to do. I'm missing this awareness, that's the only part that's missing. There's nothing A sense of purpose, and the will to do something. In order to survive, to meet the needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation, I must find a job... I only have this basic, and it should be a purpose in the original sense. But I consider more than This level should be something more... Only I who have the kind of database I just mentioned can do it. I should have this level of purpose. But I don’t. It’s like holding a pistol without thinking Killing people, in this case, there is no point in holding a pistol. When a person wants to kill another person, he only needs to borrow it from me, and I am of no value.

"In the end, I am just this kind of person, a human being who is the most advanced tool. I can only support other people's sense of purpose, but I have no sense of purpose. This is often the case, and this game plan is the same, Tatsumi, your original work has shortcomings, but You have the will to create a world based on the original work. In contrast to the work I have done, I just accurately read your will and helped you complete the construction of the world, that's all. "The work I have done so far is generally like this. Original game adaptations, ghostwriters... I have also co-authored novels with my friends. Of course, the original idea was proposed by a friend, and I just wrote it down in detail and organized it into a document. , absorb his ideas and output. Although it is a joint creation, but my work is only these. The novel sold well, but I had a quarrel with my friend and soon broke up.

"After that, because I did most of the writing, I thought I could write by myself. But when I faced the manuscript paper, I couldn't write anything. There was nothing in my head, only I had the idea to write about it. It was then that I first realized the problem with myself that I just mentioned.” This is the first time I have heard that he has participated in this industry in such a form. "I'm also very good at seeing through other people's sense of purpose. I can even see some things that others don't realize and want to do, and then I will carefully tell the other party what you want to do In this way, the other party will wake up to the fact that they want to do this. In fact, this is not bad, I will continue to support others. In the end, I can only work like this, fundamentally speaking.”

A self-deprecating expression appeared on Tiantong's face. "Thinking about it, detectives do this kind of work. I don't have any purpose. I just accept the entrustment of others and act as a simple prop. The content of the job is to investigate around according to someone's will. For me who is good at seeing through the will of others , maybe it's my vocation. I don't know how, but I ended up doing this kind of work. "Maybe I don't like it, and it's not worth being happy to reveal a secret. But looking back, aren't we having a meeting about it now. Maybe this has become my karma."

After Tiantong confided his inner difficulties, he looked into the distance as usual.
