Regarding the choice of "eating grapes", Zheng Qing first read in Qian Zhongshu's "The Siege": A plate of grapes has good and bad content. Will you choose to eat good or bad first?
If you eat good food, every grape you encounter will become worse and worse; if you eat bad food, every grape you encounter will become better and better. This demonstrates the positive and negative attitude towards life.
But as we grow older and see more and more knowledge, Zheng Qing gradually discovered that there are no good and bad grapes in this world. Most people only have the difference between "with grapes" and "no grapes" in their lives.
People without grapes will immediately catch them and eat them when they see them.
People with grapes will always choose the freshest, fullest, most beautiful, or most distinctive grapes on the plate to eat. No matter how good or bad other grapes are, they will eventually become decorations on the dining table and eventually fall into the trash can.
To describe it in a very simple sentence, it means that there are too many choices that don’t matter if you choose or not.
Just like the North District Wizard.
Before Ilena became the Great Sage, a large number of North District's magicians were willing to serve as testimonials for formal wizards in order to learn a rough trick. For wizards who were born without "grapes", being able to eat grapes is the greatest luck - even if those grapes are despised by traditional wizards and regarded as heretics - being able to enter the Fringe Academy and become the first formal student of the first university is something they dare not dream of.
On the contrary, those elite children from ancient wizard families do not even need to care about the different qualities between the colleges of the first university, and can choose a college to attend according to their preferences.
But just like the anonymous statement in the last paragraph of the Beta Town Post report, the wizard with "grapes" would rather break the grapes on his plate than give them to those wizards without "grapes".
It is hard to say that this is a manifestation of greed or selfish nature of ‘people with grapes’.
Zheng Qing is more inclined to think that this is the natural choice of wizards with different talents after a long game under the premise that the magic resources of the whole world are limited, that is, resources should be given priority to wizards with higher talents.
“What does it mean to mention in the Post that the Fringe Academy touches the interests of the four major colleges?”
Zheng Qing remembered a sentence in the report just now and couldn't help but look at the newspaper again: "...Can such a thing be said clearly in public reports?"
"Why not?"
Fatty Xin looked at the young assistant teacher strangely, and his fingers flashed slightly, and the quill fell lightly on the report, circled several keywords: "Beta Town was originally built on Alpha Fort and belonged to Alpha's private land, but now the wizards in the North District have begun to use cheap patrols to provide safety and patrol services to Beta Town. Do you think this is considered eroding Alpha's interests? If you think the 'North District Wizards' belongs to the North District of Beta Town, not an outsider... Then what do you say about the promotion of the 'Sage Faith' in places outside the North District? Those religious madmen in Atlas have been tolerated and have not been smashed until now, and they are probably forced to be pressed by the school."
“There are private hunting competitions.”
Zhang Jixin snapped his fingers and added: "Originally, the private hunting competition of the No. 1 university, that is, the hunting competition held by the students themselves in private, was basically monopolized by the Starry Sky Academy. But now the wizards in the North District also plan to organize their hunting competition. The hunting ground is chosen in the Silent Forest, and the horseman, the Taurus, and the Giant Tribe... The Starry Sky Academy has a lot of opinions now, and my brother has been big for several laps because of this."
"Why is the private hunting competition monopolized by the Starry Sky Academy?" Zheng Qing suddenly remembered Jiang Huai, who was with him, who had also invited himself to participate in the private hunting competition organized by the Starry Sky Hunting Team, and asked curiously.
"Why?"
The red-faced wizard's expression slightly sluggish, and he seemed to have never thought about this problem, but immediately, he found several appropriate reasons: "The hunting competition without Starry Sky people is not very interesting, which is probably the main reason... In addition, if a hunting team is organized at the same time, at most one-third of the students in other colleges, and even fewer wizards will participate in the hunting team. Even the students lying in the school hospital will not give up the quota... When most of the participants in private hunting competitions are students of Starry Sky Academy, it is strange that they cannot get the dominance!"
"That's how it's still a little tricky in Jiuyou Academy." Zheng Qing pinched the obsidian in his hand, and always felt that it seemed to have turned into a cat shape today: "At least, there is no open conflict with the edge college..."
"This is actually the worst case."
Xiao Xiao put on his glasses and showed a disagreement on his face: "As the saying goes, 'lost and harvested from the east', the other colleges are more obvious in conflict with the marginal colleges, so when it comes to the allocation of magic resources within the first university, they will gain some advantages..."
hiss!
Zheng Qing took a breath of cold air and interrupted the doctor's analysis.
Several companions looked at him together, with confusion and dissatisfaction in their eyes. But the next second, the dissatisfaction disappeared and all turned into curiosity.
Because Zheng Qing, who was sitting in the seat, suddenly twisted his body in a very strange posture, one hand leaned back to grab it on his back, and the other hand held the edge of the table tightly, and the blue veins on the back of his hand burst out, and a constipation-like expression appeared on his face, as if Bharat's yoga master was doing some difficult practice.
But the problem is that they are now sitting in the classroom preparing for last Monday’s spell class.
Moreover, Zheng Qing doesn’t practice yoga normally.
"Is this cursed? Are Congressman Su's fans?" Fatty Xin took out his quill and notepad with enthusiasm, as if he was planning to write a real-time report.
"No eye contact was found." Zhang Jixin had already stood up and used his eyes to clean the entire classroom, even the corridor and the window, and at the same time began to tighten the buttons on the fist gloves one by one.
"There is no abnormal magic fluctuation," Xiao Xiao stared at the crystal ball in front of him and added.
call!
Zheng Qing let out a long sigh, the ferocious face suddenly disappeared, and he regained his calmness: "It's not a curse, it's not necessarily an accident... It's this little thing that makes trouble again!"
He spread his palms and lay a wooden flea that had been pinched to death by him in his palm.
"This little thing crawled out of nowhere. I just got into my robe... It's so bad." The young assistant teacher reached out to the aisle with disgust, trying to throw away Mu Flea's body.
But Xiao Xiao stopped his move.
"Don't lose it first," the fortune teller of the Yusin Hunting Team raised his eyebrows slightly: "My crystal ball just reddished for a moment... It may be an illusion, but it may also be that bug is not that simple."
Chapter completed!
