Chapter 348: Favor without profit, is it a favor or a transaction?
"But, we paid the Source Crystal for the Awakening, can this be considered a favor? We are like this, and so are Lin Fei and the others? This is like a business? How can there be any kindness?"
Zhou Lin was dissatisfied, but when facing Luo Shucheng, who had no expression on his face, his tone could not be as forceful as when facing Wu Ze, he was just softly suspicious.
"Business? Do you really think this is a deal? Well, let me ask you, can you exchange a hundred Source Crystals for one Source Crystal that can make people awaken without danger and absolutely perfectly?"
"If you had this perfect awakening source crystal, would you only trade it for a hundred source crystals?"
Luo Shucheng questioned Zhou Lin for the third time.
"this……"
Zhou Lin was silent.
If he were, he would probably maximize his interests, and not just this mere hundred source crystals. With this resource in hand, he will convert it into his capital, giving him the confidence to achieve his ambitions.
"How about it? I believe you can't even do it yourself, right? What about you? If you were given this ability? Can you do it?"
Luo Shucheng looked at everyone, including Tang Tian, Wu Xueruo, Lin Fei and Zhang Hong, and everyone shook their heads subconsciously.
To be honest, none of them could do that. If it were them, they would only do it more ruthlessly!
I am afraid that only if they can become their confidant, they will let go of the Awakening Source Crystal with limited options.
"You can't even do it yourself, so let me ask you, how is this not a favor? One hundred source crystals are exchanged for one person's origin awakening. This is a favor. If he really regarded it as a transaction, how could he stop this mere hundred source crystals? Luo Shucheng said.
After saying that, Luo Shucheng looked at Wu Ze, then gave a slight salute and said: "On behalf of the entire Zhenhai College, I would like to thank you for your help. I was the one who was offended before."
Seeing Luo Shucheng like this, what else could Wu Ze do?
I have to say, they have a good teacher. The coldness in Wu Ze's eyes dissipated, the ice aura dissipated, and a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter, it's just a trivial matter." Wu Ze waved his hand and said calmly.
"No, for the little friend, this is just a trivial matter, but for us, it is a matter of life and death. If the little friend hadn't come here to repel the fourth-order star beasts and the Crimson Tide clan, how could we, Zhenhai Academy, have done it? There are still people who survived.”
"This is the third greatest kindness, and this kindness must be repaid. What I have learned all my life is to tell myself what is the way of a gentleman, to repay kindness with kindness, to repay resentment directly, to understand kindness and righteousness, to be benevolent and trustworthy, to be wise and wise Only by practicing etiquette can you gain a wise heart."
Luo Shucheng shook his head slightly. While objecting to Wu Ze, he also explained what he had learned to everyone present. He also wanted to warn everyone and arouse everyone's original intention.
But unfortunately, there are very few people who understand Luo Shucheng's intentions.
Wu Ze is one of them, Tang Tian is one of them, Lin Fei is one of them, and Zhang Hong is also one of them, but the only difference is that Zhang Hong doesn't quite agree with it.
As for others, including Zhou Lin, only one or two out of ten people can understand.
"Sir, you have worked hard. The boy has been taught a lesson. This matter... is over."
Wu Ze sighed in his heart and bowed in return, intending to settle the matter and make Luoshu City a success.
However, Wu Ze wanted to expose this matter, but someone did not agree.
At this time, Zhou Lin, who had reacted, bowed and asked Luo Shucheng for advice as a student: "Sir, if the student has something that he doesn't understand, please ask him to clarify it."
"Is there anything else you don't understand?" Luo Shucheng asked.
He was dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything else. He was afraid that Lin would cause trouble again this week, and the situation he had finally calmed down would cause another huge wave.
"As the saying goes: if you are great, you can help the world; if you are poor, you can save yourself. Since this Wu Ze has the ability to help us all, why is there a limit of a hundred Origin Crystals? Isn't it good to let all of us become Origin Awakeners?"
"Such merit and virtue can be cultivated. But why does Wu Ze insist on setting the limit of 'hundred source crystals'? Doesn't he know that it is the limit of these hundred source crystals that cuts off our chance to become the awakened ones of the source?" Road!"
Zhou Lin asked loudly. His words were accompanied by the source of power, and his voice spread throughout Zhenhai College, attracting the attention of countless ordinary people.
As soon as these words came out, they were recognized by most ordinary people. There were people coming nearby, and there was a surge of people. There were many ordinary people in Haotian, so they naturally wanted to find an opportunity for themselves.
When Zhou Lin mentioned the opportunity, they didn't want to miss it.
"What do you want?"
Luo Shucheng's eyes were slightly angry, he looked around at the crowd, and couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.
Zhou Lin held up his hand to show that he meant no offense, but then said: "Sir, since you said that awakening the source crystal is not a transaction, but a favor, then the student would like to say that there is no benefit to the favor."
"Wu Ze exchanged one Awakening Source Crystal for hundreds of Source Crystals, but this move was extremely inappropriate. Therefore, the students suggested that since it is a favor, it should be free of charge. Otherwise, it is not a favor. It is just a love between you and me. A willing transaction.”
What Zhou Lin said was so loud and powerful that ordinary people not far away immediately regarded him as a good person in their hearts. With the invisible increase in prestige, Zhou Lin felt like God was helping him, with a clear mind and full confidence!
Don’t you, Wu Ze, want to show mercy?
Then he would like to see whether Wu Ze would give a favor that has no benefit.
He wanted to stop the idea of 'favor' and let everyone know that this was just a transaction without any kindness at all.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Zhou Lin is indeed a talented person in the unified management system. How can he find fault with you?"
"Haha, people from the unified management department will be stationed in the Xinghan Political Pavilion in the future. How can they do it without some means. This guy is really cruel. Now Wu Ze is in trouble."
"Yes, Wu Ze is in trouble. As soon as he said these words, Wu Ze was put on the gridiron. It doesn't mean that he agrees or disagrees. This guy Zhou Lin is indeed not simple."
"..."
In the women's department, whispers were heard, and the students who were also in the management department all saw Zhou Lin's sinister intentions, and couldn't help but secretly feel worried for Wu Ze.
If Wu Ze agrees, he must give the Awakening Source Crystal to all ordinary people for free to show his kindness. But when the time comes, those who remember his kindness will have a place in their hearts for Zhou Lin, because this is what Zhou Lin won for them.
But if Wu Ze disagrees, then the previous theory of kindness will be self-defeating. The saying 'No gain can lead to a favor' was nailed to Wu Ze. If there is no gain, then it is a deal.
Since it was a transaction, Wu Ze was naturally not very noble. In this case, one of the favors mentioned by Luo Shucheng does not exist, and therefore it can naturally be proved that Zhou Lin and others are not wrong.
"Zhou Lin, are you finished yet?" Luo Shucheng said angrily.
Hearing this, Zhou Lin bowed again and said: "Sir, the student just wants to ask for proof whether this is a favor or a transaction, and I would like to ask this Wu Ze for advice."
After saying that, Zhou Lin looked at Wu Ze and pointed the finger at Wu Ze.
Luo Shucheng was his teacher, and he did not dare to disobey his mentor, but Wu Ze was different. They were neither relatives nor friends, and Zhou Lin had no such scruples at all.
But Luo Shucheng was furious at Zhou Lin's words. It was obvious that his student did not understand what he meant at all and was determined to embarrass Wu Ze.
"Zhou Lin..."
Luo Shucheng's voice couldn't help but become louder, but before he could say anything, Zhou Lin bowed to Wu Ze and solemnly asked for advice: "Please give Wu Ze some advice."
Okay, now Luo Shucheng is really blocked by Zhou Lin and has nothing to say.
Asking for advice from others with the courtesy of a student is the way to seek advice. If you are respectful and polite, even Luo Shucheng will not be able to tell you what is wrong.
Seeing this, Wu Ze smiled.
"Are you asking me for advice? Aren't you saying that people like me who couldn't even get into Zhenhai College are not qualified to compare with you?"
"And by doing this, are you admitting that you are inferior to me? It must hurt to slap yourself in the face, right?"
Wu Ze looked at Zhou Lin with a joking look. After finishing his words, Zhou Lin suddenly stood up, with more anger and shame on his face!
"Wu Ze, you are so rude! I sincerely asked you for advice, but you took this opportunity to humiliate me! Isn't this the way to learn!" Zhou Lin angrily yelled.
"Oh? Are you sincere? I didn't see that. I only saw a deliberate attempt to make things difficult. Besides, I'm not a student of your Zhenhai College. What are you talking about about the way to learn?"
Wu Ze glanced at Zhou Lin lightly, his words were a bit disdainful, and his eyes were even more contemptuous.
"you!"
Zhou Lin angrily pointed at Wu Ze.
"What are you doing? Do you want to fight? I'm good at this. Do you want me to give you a hand?" Wu Ze said.
"Shameless!"
Being stared at by Wu Ze with indifferent eyes, Zhou Lin cursed but put down the hand pointing at Wu Ze.
It was impossible to fight, he knew it well, how could he be Wu Ze's opponent on his own.
"Wu Ze! If you can, tell me, is awakening the source crystal a favor or a transaction?" Zhou Lin asked loudly.
"What if it's a favor, so what if it's a transaction? Do you think you can manipulate me based on this?" Wu Ze sneered.
"Hmph! If you don't answer directly, then you are acquiescing. It's a 'grace' that you should help us awaken our origins free of charge. This is a great favor. If this happens, we will all remember your great kindness."
"But if this is just a deal, then you are not qualified to stand here, so get out of Zhenhai College quickly!"
Zhou Lin snorted angrily.
"Haha, is this your reason? Then have you ever heard of the saying, 'There is no free lunch in the world'?"
Wu Ze sneered and said disdainfully: "I'm not a saint, let alone your father or mother, so why should I give it to you for free? You must make mistakes when you think about it. You don't even understand such a simple truth. I think you are more than ten years old. Years of books have been read in vain.”
"That's nonsense!"
Zhou Lin immediately scolded him: "If it's true as you said, every gain must come with a loss, then let me ask you, what did we lose when we studied at Zhenhai College and gained knowledge?"
"Do you need me to answer this too?"
Wu Ze glanced at Zhou Lin and asked.
"Cut the nonsense! If you are talking about money or something, don't embarrass yourself here. Because money is nothing at all, and it is incomparable to the knowledge we have learned."
Zhou Lin raised his head and looked at Wu Ze arrogantly, but little did he know that what he was thinking at this time was not what Wu Ze was thinking.
"Haha, you don't need to remind me about this." Wu Ze sneered and continued: "But since you said so, it means that you really don't realize that what you lost is not something external like money."
"Then tell me, what exactly have we lost?" Zhou Lin asked.
"After gaining knowledge, what you lose is of course ignorance and ignorance. You have not understood such a simple truth. In other words, you have not learned much, otherwise you would not be so ignorant and ignorant."
Wu Ze was too lazy to argue with Zhou Lin anymore and spoke bluntly. As soon as he said this, everyone present was stunned.
Ignorance and ignorance?
To be honest, they didn't expect this. But now they heard it, and they realized that... Wu Ze was saying that Zhou Lin was ignorant!
"Wu Ze! You humiliated me again!"
Zhou Lin reacted and was immediately furious. The breath of origin spread with anger, but was directly suppressed by Luo Shucheng on the side.
"Zhou Lin, have you had enough trouble?" Luo Shucheng asked.
"No!"
Zhou Lin subconsciously replied in anger, but when he realized that he was facing Luo Shucheng, he suppressed the anger in his heart, bowed and said: "Sir, please don't interrupt the students."
After that, he didn't give Luo Shucheng a chance, looked at Wu Ze and asked again: "Wu Ze, aren't you just trying to avoid what I asked before by looking at him like this?"
"You are so reasonable, then why can't you face the question I asked and give me a positive answer."
"Wu Ze, let me ask you, is the matter of awakening the source crystal a favor or a transaction?"
Zhou Lin reiterated his old words, he wanted to win back the situation here, he wanted to brand Wu Ze into the reputation of 'hypocrisy', and make Wu Ze so infamous that he would be unable to stay in Zhenhai College.
"It seems that you really won't give up until you reach the Yellow River, and you won't look back until you hit the south wall. Since you want to know, I'll tell you directly."
Wu Ze lowered his eyes and his expression became a little serious. He looked directly at everyone in front of him and said calmly: "Everyone has a different definition and understanding of whether it is a 'favor' or a 'deal'."
"In your eyes, this may be a favor, or it may be just a transaction, but in my opinion, this is just a transaction, a transaction between you and me."
As soon as he said this, Luo Shucheng became a little anxious.
"Wu Ze, you..."
"Director Luo, the most difficult thing in the world to judge is 'faithfulness', and the hardest thing to repay is 'favor', so I don't want people to owe me anything, and I don't like to owe others either."
"Whether it's a favor or a deal, it doesn't matter to me. I am me and you are you. How can your thoughts influence me?"
Wu Ze interrupted Luo Shucheng. He understood Luo Shucheng's good intentions, but he had his own ideas. Whether Luo Shucheng or Zhou Lin, Wu Ze was an outsider.
Why should he let the opinions of outsiders control his life? He is Wu Ze, his own Wu Ze, not the Wu Ze that others say.
"Alas! I know what my little friend said." Luo Shucheng sighed.
The 'gratitude' he said came from his heart. He didn't care what others thought of Wu Ze, what he said was his truest thoughts.
"Hahaha, everyone has heard it, this is just a transaction, this is just a transaction, and it has no meaning. It is the gentleman who thinks of him too noble."
After listening to what Wu Ze said, Zhou Lin laughed immediately.
The dust had settled with one sentence, and now he wanted to see how much face Wu Ze still had left in Zhenhai College.
