Genshin Impact simulation, the Shura field is endless
Chapter 63: So-called Knowledge
"You, hello!"
Ender held out his hands tremblingly for a handshake.
"No need to be so nervous."
Yu Xiuwen smiled slightly, and his smile was like a warm spring breeze, calming Ande's panic.
Just like an ordinary person, if you ignore the powerful aura emanating from him, Ander thought.
"Hello, Master Xiuwen. My name is Ande, and I'm the sage of the Shenglun School of the Imperial Academy, the leader of this school."
Exhaling, Ander calmed himself down, regained his usual composure, and introduced himself.
"The wise men of the School of the Imperial Academy..."
Yu Xiuwen repeated it, feeling that the name was familiar, even though it was the first time he met this person.
"Forget it, I won't bother you anymore. If you have anything to say, go find Buyer."
Yu Xiuwen waved his hand.
"Ah, yes."
Ander was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and bowed slightly, then ran to the side of the Great Compassion Tree King and handed over the report.
Buyer took the document, and a light green light flashed in his hand. Several chairs made of vines emerged from the ground, and then he gestured for everyone to sit down.
"Do you mind if I listen here?"
Yu Xiuwen pointed at himself.
"Of course, if you don't find it boring."
Boyer said with a smile, then began to listen to Ender's report and questions.
Yu Xiuwen listened from beginning to end.
The main topic was recent research on rainforest ecology and its impact on scholars, including new species, the habits and characteristics of certain creatures, and changes in forest vegetation. The questions revolved around these topics, and Boyer answered them easily, leaving Ander with a profound revelation.
"Thank you, Lord Tree King. If it weren't for you, I don't know when these problems would be solved."
Ender bowed gratefully.
Buyer frowned slightly, feeling that there was something wrong with what he said, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
If it weren't for me...?
"But it can be solved, right?"
Yu Xiuwen, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.
"Uh, Master Xiuwen?"
Ander was stunned, not quite understanding what he meant.
"He probably meant that even if you rely on yourselves, these problems may not be as difficult as you say."
Lanmuhu Kunda said.
"Eh?"
Ender was stunned.
Although Lan Muhu Kunda is also a Lanna Luo, his knowledge and insights are admired even by great sages, who feel inferior to him, so Ander also respects him in the same way.
The other party's words made him a little confused.
"Excuse me, Lan Muhu Kunda, Master Xiu Wen, we have been studying these issues for several days but have made no progress. So if it weren't for Master Tree King, solving these problems would indeed take a long time, or even be impossible..."
Ender said, looking down.
"Perhaps so," Yu Xiuwen smiled. He wasn't sure why he suddenly spoke up; he simply felt their thinking was a little off. "But what did you get from Buyer? The answers to your questions? Beyond that, what else? You don't know how to figure out these answers on your own. You're seeking knowledge, not discovering it."
"...But as long as the Tree King is here, even if..."
"It doesn't matter if you only know the answer but not the process of solving it?"
"... "
Ander remained silent, which was considered as an admission.
"Is that so... Has your dependence reached this point?"
Buyer suddenly realized and sighed softly.
"Ander, what if I'm not here, or you can't find me?"
"How could it be, Lord Tree King, you..."
Ander suddenly became anxious.
"I mean if."
"...If we really can't find you..." Ander's eyes revealed a bit of confusion. After a moment of silence, he shook his head. "Sorry, I don't know, Lord Tree King, but I think everyone in the Order will be in a panic, right?"
"That's the problem," Yu Xiuwen suddenly stood up. "Admittedly, Buyer can save you time, speed up your knowledge exploration, and rapidly improve. But you shouldn't become overly dependent on him. Just like you have students and teachers in the Order Academy, right? Teachers only teach students for a few years, and once students graduate, they can't always ask Buyer questions. Does that mean the students will stop making progress?"
"no."
"Yes, of course not. Students will study and discover things on their own. If they don't understand something, they'll work with their friends to figure it out. Ender, do you understand me?"
Yu Xiuwen stood in front of Ander, like a solid mountain, bringing a sense of oppression.
Ander's body trembled, as if he was back in his school days when he was scolded by his teacher. At that time, he seemed to have been told that if he could figure it out himself, he shouldn't keep asking him.
"Understood, Master Xiuwen!"
The confusion in his eyes dissipated a little.
"That's good," Yu Xiuwen breathed a sigh of relief. "What do you think knowledge means to you?"
“Knowledge is my lifelong pursuit…”
Ander blurted out, but was slapped on the head by Yu Xiuwen.
"idiot!"
"Eh?"
Ander was stunned, his head a little confused.
Something's wrong again?
Yu Xiuwen's face turned stern as he continued, "Knowledge is what you pursue? Are you saying that knowledge is your goal?"
"Should, should it?"
Ender was cautious and was patted again.
"You're the end, and you're a sage? If you were a sage, all the students would grow up crooked. Knowledge is not an end, it's a means. The very word 'knowledge' was created to enable you to live a better life. You're a life theorist, right? You study the habits of living things. What benefits do you think this brings to your survival?"
"Well... for example, by studying vegetation changes, we can learn about recent climate conditions, improve our lives, determine which locations are suitable for building houses, and decide whether to expand the city-state. And..."
As Ander spoke, he stared at Yu Xiuwen's expression.
Just as he raised his hand again, Ender stopped talking and closed his eyes, waiting for him to smack his head again.
But this time, Yu Xiuwen simply placed his hand gently on his head. "That's right. This is the meaning of knowledge. Everything is for your own benefit. Ask the gods without craving them. Only by exploring independently can you develop better. If you blindly rely on them, you will lose the ability to discover knowledge on your own."
Compared to his previous harshness, Yu Xiuwen now seems like a kind and amiable elder, a gentle teacher, patiently teaching his student who does not yet know the truth.
Knowledge is a means, not an end. Shouldn't we be overly dependent on the Tree King?
"I understand, Master Xiu Wen, Lan Mu Hu Kun Da, and Master Shu Wang. From now on, unless we really hit a bottleneck, academic problems—at least within our school—we will find ways to solve them on our own. With so many scholars working together, there will always be a solution."
Ander bowed deeply and performed the courtesy of a student to his teacher to Yu Xiuwen.
Now that I think about it, Lord Tree King once said something similar, but no one took it seriously at the time.
Now that I think about it, it was our negligence.
------
Personally, I plan to make the simulation of the Tree King more daily. After all, there has been no conflict in the rainforest for quite a long time, so let the two of them slowly develop their feelings.
To be honest, it’s really hard to write about the Tree King. I always feel that she is the kind of person who has no interest in love and is only concerned about her people.
What's more, when the Red King fell in love with the Flower Goddess, the Flower Goddess didn't love the Red King. The Tree King was the most insightful person and could see the emotions clearly, which made it very difficult to deal with.
