I was wrong.
All along, there were never any extra sentences explaining weaknesses at the back of the Beast Index entries. It was just that when I was reading the materials, my mind was working too swiftly, too smoothly, like seeing the problem 1 1=?, and instantly realizing the answer is 2, subconsciously filling in the standard answers for the weaknesses.
The ntal process was so smooth that I ended up with mory gaps, similar to the Mandela effect.
For so beasts that required calculation and reasoning, he didn’t take them too seriously either, because it wasn’t too much trouble to co up with an answer with just a minor ntal pivot.
He overlooked this seemingly insignificant detail.
After this chat, a small doubt in Ren Zhong’s heart was resolved.
That was, why did Zheng Tian and others insist on hoarding money to buy a Thunderbolt Car back then, even though the Beast Database clearly spelled out the standard answers for defeating beasts by clever ans, but refused to spend a hundred bucks to buy a First Level Wrist Watch in the anti.
Why did so many seasoned semi-professional Scavengers in the town prefer to rush in with knives rather than use clever thods?
Why, in the past tiline, even the smart Zheng Tian made great efforts to learn clever ways from him, but only made slight progress, advancing very slowly.
It turns out, what was simple for was beyond the comprehension of these people living in a world where they know what is but not why.
Even Chen Hanyu never established a complete scientific reasoning and logical view, let alone others.
It’s not that they didn’t want to, their eyes were just blindfolded.
The phrase, "a leaf blinds the eyes, not seeing the mountain," applies to everyone.
Back then, Ren Zhong thought for a long ti before slowly saying, "You guys turn off the Wrist Watch first."
"Let teach you two basic thods of analyzing things, one is called the Deductive thod, and the other the Inductive thod. Combine these and many things that seed nebulous to you before will gradually co to light."
After that, the mbers of the squad began a more challenging and extensive journey of learning. The learning atmosphere was quite intense, and the discussion topics were more positive and uplifting.
But things were essentially different with Lin Wang’s group.
These people already possessed unrivaled strength in Starfire Town; in this secluded small town, they hardly had any rivals who could challenge them.
The leap from Fourth Level to Fifth Level was too enormous, so except for Lin Wang, the others in the team had no expectations whatsoever.
They were strong, but lifeless.
As they ascended to this level through their personal efforts, they both actively and passively solidified themselves in this stage.
They had no aspirations for personal strength anymore.
...
After dinner, Ren Zhong bid farewell to Lin Wang and the others, saying he wouldn’t be returning to sleep tonight.
Though Lin Wang didn’t refuse, he said, "Our manor is equipped with a third-generation Iron Curtain automatic defense system. Any Level Four Ruined Beast or Professionals below Third Level that co will be annihilated. The town also has Night Watchn and central monitoring; Level Four Ruined Beasts cannot get near. Sleeping here is much safer than the collective sleeping chambers."
Ren Zhong understood this deeply; during the incident before last, he personally experienced the power of the Third Generation Iron Curtain, almost failing to take down Bei Lihui.
"Thanks for the reminder, Captain, but tonight I really have to..."
Beside him, Bei Lihui chuckled, interrupting Ren Zhong’s words, "Captain, you’re clueless. He’s off to have fun with those two gals, Zheng Tian and Chen Hanyu."
Pan Fenglian feigned shyness, "Actually, I can join too, I want to."
Ren Zhong glanced at Bei Lihui silently, then awkwardly clasped his hands toward Pan Fenglian, "Tonight I have an appointnt with Manager Ju, not going to Zheng Tian’s."
In fact, he and Ju Qingng had no such appointnt.
He had other intentions.
He was going there to wait for two other people.
However, since he was Ju Qingng’s lover in Lin Wang’s eyes, there was nothing to hide.
"Oh oh! Impressive!" Bei Lihui whistled, smiling lewdly.
Pan Fenglian said with disappointnt, "I indeed can’t compare with Manager Ju. Ren Zhong, you’re lucky."
Lin Wang just smiled and shook his head, "So that’s it. Manager Ju is indeed a beauty. But Ren Zhong, you’re still a Professional, only at Second Level, so your career should be your priority, keep it in moderation."
Ren nodded, "I understand."
Suddenly, Bei Lihui stood up, threw an arm around Ren’s shoulder, and said, "I also think you should listen to the captain. But I don’t have to worry, being a Gunsmith, I’m quite fit too, and don’t need to stress paraters. Let’s make a deal? You already have Ju Qingng and are flirting with Ma Xiaoling. Let have so fun with Zheng Tian and Chen Hanyu, you’ve already broken them in anyway."
