Chapter 475: The Mystery of the Lord of the Armor - Greek Philosophy
[Testing completed]
[This simulation closely involves the powerful life forms of the Jiugong level. In view of the quality issues of the energy that has been recovered by the Heart of Time and Space, the error rate of this simulation is - 62.3%]
[Current number of simulations remaining: 9 times]
"62.3%, more than half of the error rate. This is too high. No wonder it simulates me as a fool who won't run away when the situation is bad... By the way, dealing with the Jiugong level will have such a serious impact on the simulation.
."
Li Guanqi looked helpless.
As for Tokugawa Shinji’s murder and silence?
Killing people and silencing them after seizing the treasure was a routine operation. He didn't feel any surprise or anger. It was normal and something he had already guessed.
"I have to think about whether there is any turning point. If not...then I have to give up this mission and run to the Tulip Empire. I beg Her Majesty the Queen to protect me."
Li Guanqi fell into deep thought.
"Even if Tokugawa Shinji finally finds me, is it possible that he can still kill me when facing Her Majesty the Queen?"
"Probably not. For the sake of Master, Her Majesty the Queen will not just sit idly by and ignore it."
"But the question is... is there any way this matter can turn around?"
Li Guanqi looked at the light screen panel from beginning to end and found that there seemed to be nothing that could be changed.
Facing the Jiugong-level Tokugawa Shinji, it is a completely unsolvable situation.
In fact, if there was no simulator, he would not even consider this matter, and would not take up the task at all. He would immediately go to the Tulip Empire to find the Queen to hug him.
After all, he is Tokugawa Shinji of Jiugong level.
It's too dangerous to hang out with Jiugong level.
On his last trip to the strange world, there was no simulator, so Li Guanqi, who started to seek stability in everything, could hide as far as he could from this situation.
Facing the Jiugong level and seeking skin from a tiger, he had to rely on a simulator to dare to do it.
"Wait, puzzle?"
Li Guanqi looked at the simulated information on the light screen panel and suddenly raised his eyebrows.
It seems that the only thing that can make a fuss about this whole process is the Greek puzzles.
The problem is that the simulator does not display the puzzle content.
"Hey, time and space brother."
Thinking of this, Li Guanqi couldn't help but look at the light screen panel and asked: "Can't you show the content of those puzzles? I want to see the specific content."
[This is extremely detailed simulation content. It will simulate specific character actions and character dialogue details. It will also greatly improve the simulation accuracy as I just said, but at the same time, it will also consume more energy. Simulation 1
times, it will consume 1.5 simulation times, are you sure?】
"Sure."
Li Guanqi nodded.
The simulation times are just for use, there is no point in saving them.
At worst, after the number of simulations is used up, he will change his behavior to the same as last time, seeking stability in everything and running away when he encounters someone stronger than him.
But now the simulator still has times, so you have to rely on the simulator!
【Simulation reset.】
[(…)Duplicate content skipped]
[There are traces of Greek writing everywhere in the ruins of the castle. In the deepest part of the ruins, you encounter the first stone slab engraved with a Greek puzzle. 】
[You start to translate the slate puzzle, translating the Greek words engraved on it into Chinese.]
[The puzzle is as follows.]
[Q: How many genders are there in the world? 】
[Red answer: Two kinds.]
[Green answer: three types.]
[Blue answer: five kinds.]
[Yellow answer: I don’t know, I’m new here.]
"???"
Li Guanqi looked confused.
"What the hell kind of puzzle is this?!"
【Shinji Tokugawa begins to hypnotize you to translate.】
Li Guanqi was still confused, but the simulation process of the simulator continued, and black boxes appeared one after another.
[After some thought, Tokugawa Shinji said: "Old gods are also human beings, and the conventional genders of humans are only male and female. Counting the rare intersex people, there are three types, but if you include more others
There are far more than five psychologically defined genders, so the red, green, and blue answers are not entirely correct...]
When Li Guanqi saw this, he seemed to understand something all of a sudden.
Shunkong said that the first owner of this armor was a Western god.
Well, from the West…
They seem to be very particular about gender over there...
["It should be the yellow answer - I don't know, I'm new here!" Shinji Tokugawa said firmly. 】
[After saying that, Tokugawa Shinji hit the yellow stone tablet next to the puzzle stone with one palm.]
[The puzzle slate glows with golden light.]
[A space portal appears, and Tokugawa Shinji successfully solves the puzzle.]
"Tokugawa, you are such a fucking talent..."
Li Guanqi was speechless for a moment.
The puzzle set by the master of the battle armor is not a serious puzzle at all. It is clearly a joke.
As for Tokugawa Shinji, a human from the New Age era, although he basically adopted the elimination method, in the end he was connected to this person from the previous era... No.
If the 21st century is an era, the end of the world is an era, and the age of gods is an era, then this meme should belong to the previous era.
This guy is really talented.
[Just as we entered, a powerful demon species of Bagua level came towards us, but it was slapped to death by Tokugawa Shinji of Jiugong level. He didn’t even bother to deal with the body. He turned around and walked forward. 】
[You look at the flesh, flesh and soul of that powerful demon species with great covetousness.]
[But obviously your plundering technique cannot be exposed, so I have to ask Shinji Tokugawa to give you a Bagua-level corpse.]
[You said to Tokugawa Shinji's back as he advanced: "Senior Tokugawa, I wonder if you can give the body of this Bagua-level demon species to this junior? After all, the flesh and blood of the Bagua-level demon species may not matter to you, but to me
Very valuable.”]
[Hearing your request, Tokugawa Shinji thought for a moment, then nodded, walked to the body of the demon species, and put it into the space necklace, not bothering to talk to you from beginning to end. ]
【You are a little depressed.】
【But at the same time, your mood is getting heavier.】
[Shinji Tokugawa even refused to give you the corpse that he was too lazy to take, so can the reward he promised still count? 】
[Furthermore, can he really let you leave alive? 】
【Worry is spreading in your heart.】
【You start thinking about ways to escape.】
[While thinking, you and Tokugawa Shinji continue to explore and move forward here. 】
[This space is a folded hidden space. There are many powerful demon species guarding the road. The lowest is a group of seven-star demon species. There are also many Bagua-level ones. In the end, a terrifying Nine Palace-level one rushed out.
Curse Spirit.]
[Shinji Tokugawa successfully killed this Jiugong-level cursed spirit after a lot of fighting.]
【You have come to the end of this space.】
【You saw an ancient stone slab.】
[On the stone slab, there is a puzzle engraved in Greek. 】
[The puzzle is as follows]
【Q:What is the meaning of life?】
[Red answer: It’s meaningless, just die. 】
[Green answer: Become the strongest. 】
[Blue answer: It’s meaningless, but if you keep living, you may be able to find it. 】
[Yellow answer: Eat, drink, have fun, enjoy life, get the most wealth, play with the most luxurious gadgets, and sleep with the most beautiful women.]
[Shinji Tokugawa continues to hypnotize you and ask you to translate the puzzle, and then he stands nearby, lost in thought, seeming to be thinking about the answer to the puzzle. 】
"...Stop playing tricks with puzzles and start thinking about philosophy?"
Li Guanqi looked strange.
This is quite "Greek".
So, back to the puzzle.
What is the meaning of life?
This kind of question shouldn't have an answer.
Even if there are, they are all subjective answers.
Even experts and philosophers cannot give a single answer to this question.
Because...it doesn't matter if you think the meaning of life is like this, but why do you think that the meaning of my life is also what you think it is?
Therefore, the key to this puzzle should not lie in philosophy, but in...guessing the mind.
Whoever can correctly guess the thoughts of the armor owner can answer this riddle correctly.
"Um?"
Li Guanqi was stunned.
Only then did he realize that the light curtain panel had not refreshed new simulation information for more than ten seconds.
The Heart of Time and Space has yet to simulate the next message.
Li Guanqi did not urge him, but looked at the light screen panel and began to think.
What is the meaning of life?
Not at all?
Become the strongest?
Although there isn't one, if you keep living, you might be able to find it?
Eat, drink and be merry?
None of the four options given by the armor master seemed wrong, but they all seemed right.
——Life is meaningless at all?
Some people feel that life is meaningless, because their lives are a mess of gray, and they have lived in misery and tragedy since childhood. For them, living is torture, and death is not as good as relief.
Can you say they were wrong?
But the life they encountered led them to draw such a conclusion.
Can't tell right or wrong.
——Become the strongest?
Indeed, Li Guanqi's goal has always been to become the strongest.
But this does not mean that he thinks these four words are the meaning of life.
The reason why he wants to be the strongest is because after traveling to the New Era, all the things he experienced and the various characters he met made him understand one truth - the weak cannot decide their own destiny, they can only be the ones who control it.
Marionette.
He doesn't want this.
That's why he wants to be the strongest, have the ability to "do whatever he wants", be able to protect his lover and parents, and be able to stick to his free heart.
Therefore, becoming the strongest is a goal, but in fact, it is essentially a need. He needs to become the strongest to accomplish something, rather than becoming stronger purely for the sake of "becoming the strongest."
Becoming the strongest is not the meaning of his life.
——Although I don’t have it, maybe I can find it if I survive?
This answer is a bit strange.
Isn't this a mentality similar to showing off?
Although I don’t know what the meaning of life is, it’s better to live than to die. Just live anyway. Maybe one day I will find the meaning of life.
Well, Li Guanqi feels that although this answer is a bit shabby, in real terms, this answer may be a little more "correct" than the previous two answers.
——Eating, drinking and having fun?
Get the most wealth, play with the most luxurious gadgets, sleep with the most beautiful women, and enjoy life to the fullest.
Is this the meaning of life?
Li Guanqi really wants to "enjoy life to the fullest", but for him, to achieve this goal, it is definitely not about getting the most money, playing the most luxurious things, and sleeping with the most beautiful women. This is not considered enjoying life to the fullest.
.
Because of this, this answer seemed to him to be the option closest to the correct answer, but also the option least close to the correct answer.
Um, wait?
"But where is the 'correct answer' to this question about the meaning of life?"
Li Guanqi frowned slightly.
Philosophical issues are really not suitable for detailed study. If you study them carefully, you will easily get into trouble.
"Shinji Tokugawa...you old man, how did you choose the correct answer?"
"Dude Time and Space?"
After thinking for a long time, Li Guanqi finally looked at the light curtain panel and asked in surprise: "Are you stuck? Why has there been no movement for a long time?"
[(I just think this philosophical question is really interesting. Creatures like humans always come up with some problems that trouble themselves, but I have to say that it is really interesting, so I temporarily stopped the simulation and wanted to wait.
Wait and see what your answer is)]
"My answer..."
Li Guanqi smiled and said, "It may be a bit cheesy to say it, but for me, the meaning of my life, Li Guanqi, is to see all the wonderful things in the world, be filial to my parents, find a beloved woman, and have two children, a boy and a girl.
Big fat baby, and then end my life in a house full of happy children and grandchildren, it’s that simple, there is no big pursuit.”
[(Ordinary and beautiful, there is no right answer to the meaning of life, and there is no distinction between high and low. I think as a human being, this kind of life is very good)]
[(So, the answer to the puzzle you chose is yellow - eat, drink and have fun? After all, among the four options, this seems to be the one closest to your idea.)]
"No."
Li Guanqi shook his head, "If I had to choose the answer to the puzzle, I would not choose the yellow answer."
【(Oh? What is your choice?)】
"Puzzle, what is a puzzle?"
Li Guanqi smiled and said, "Since the puzzle has been revealed, it must have an answer. Otherwise, it would not be called a question, but would just be called an unsolved mystery. In other words, if there is a correct answer, it is a puzzle.
But there is no so-called correct answer to the question of ‘the meaning of life’.
So this puzzle slate... If I were asked to choose, I would not choose any of the four colors of red, green, blue, and yellow stone tablets. Instead, I would rush up and smash the slate with the puzzle written on it.
Because, since there is no answer, the puzzle is invalid and should not exist as a puzzle slate and should be erased.
This is one aspect I consider.
On the other hand, it is based on speculation about the mind of the person who asked the question.
From the previous gender riddle, I suspect that the question maker likes to ‘joke’, so perhaps there is no serious answer to his philosophical riddle either.
So, if I were to choose, I would smash the question slate and it would be the correct option for this question!"
【(...)】
[(Interesting, let’s see how Tokugawa Shinji, who chose the correct option, answered this question.)]
【(Simulation continues)】
[After Tokugawa Shinji thought for more than ten minutes, he walked past the four red, green, blue and yellow stone tablets one by one, but finally came to the question stone slab. He raised his hand, without using any force at all, and just gave it a gentle push.】
【"boom!"】
[The stone slab fell down in response, golden light erupted, and the whole space began to shake violently!]
[A space portal slowly opens.]
【He succeeded.】
[Regardless of the four answer tablets, overturning the puzzle tablet is the correct answer to this philosophical puzzle.]
"It seems I guessed it right."
Li Guanqi nodded lightly.
Of course, that old guy Tokugawa Shinji also guessed it right.
[Shinji Tokugawa takes you into the space passage, and in the vast white field, you see the artifact suspended in mid-air - the armor belonging to the gods of the old era! 】
[In the divine armor, a shadow of a tall young man emerged. It called itself 'Ares', which was the consciousness of this divine armor. The three words 'Ares' were his first master.
The name given to him is exactly the same as the ancient Greek god of war, which symbolizes that the owner of this divine armor will be invincible.】
["The strongest one, you are at the Jiugong level, and you have also passed the test set by the master, and you are qualified to be recognized as the master by me." Ares said. 】
【Shinji Tokugawa smiled very happily.】
[He took away the armor and took you away. 】
[Halfway through, you called Shunkong to use the "teleportation space" ability and fled to the border area of the Ayabel Prairie, because you felt that after Tokugawa Shinji got the artifact, he would never leave you alive. Once
Leaving the ruins of the castle is the day you die.】
[With the power of Shunkong's artifact, you escaped from Tokugawa Shinji's clutches and made it impossible for the other party to track you. ]
[You successfully helped Tokugawa Shinji get the artifact, but your work was in vain.]
[On the second day, you went to a city in the grassland. You didn't dare to go back to the Sakura Shogunate. You didn't even look for Sophia. You just wanted to take the teleportation array to the Tulip Empire to find Her Majesty the Queen and seek asylum. 】
[Since Shunkong has never been to the Tulip Empire and doesn’t know the spatial coordinates, you can’t ask Shunkong to take you there directly. 】
[And there is a shortage of tickets in the city. There is no teleportation array to the Tulip Empire. There is not even a universal teleportation array here. 】
[You spent nine days leisurely in this prairie city. Apart from experiencing the local customs, you encountered almost nothing worth mentioning. 】
[Current number of simulations remaining: 7.5 times]
[Simulation error rate detection...]
[Testing completed]
[This simulation is closely related to the powerful life forms of the Jiugong level. In view of the quality issues of the energy that has been recovered by the Heart of Time and Space, this simulation has increased the energy consumption to improve the accuracy, so the error rate of this simulation is——
0.01%]
[In other words, the accuracy of this simulation is as high as 99.9%, which can be trusted. 】
"Let me just say, under normal circumstances, it's impossible for me not to run away in advance, although I think it's still a little late."
Seeing this, Li Guanqi couldn't help but nodded slightly.
[Both simulations have ended, and the second simulation is still a super-detailed simulation, so what? Have you found any way to break the situation? Or... you have to give up on this matter, don’t go to Tokugawa Shinji, and go directly to Tulip
The empire is looking for the queen to hold its thigh?]
"How is that possible?"
Li Guanqi grinned, "In both simulations, Tokugawa Shinji chose the correct answer, but we still don't know what the result would be if he chose the wrong answer."
【oh?】
[But when you were translating the Greek puzzle, you were forcibly hypnotized. There was no way to mistranslate him to mislead him. How did you make Tokugawa Shinji choose the wrong answer? 】
[After all, Tokugawa Shinji solves mysteries by himself, except for you being the translator. 】
"Then just let me make translation errors when I'm hypnotized, right?"
Li Guanqi smiled, turned and left.
"Wait for me, time and space brother, I'll be back as soon as I go, I still have to do the third simulation."
