225. Chapter 223: Not Worrying About Scarcity, But About Inequality
……
"Are you sure you're only doing what you said?"
After questioning Poseidon, Bo Saixi sought out Bibi Dong once more.
"What else do you want me to do?" Nan Feng asked, puzzled.
"Overthrow the God Realm? I have no interest in that."
"But, you've become like this..." Bo Saixi trailed off, leaving her words unfinished.
"Do you think I'm fooling you, waiting until the plan succeeds to go back and seek revenge on those God Kings?" Nan Feng said.
"Do I look that childish to you?"
"Ah?" Bo Saixi was stunned.
"I've said this many times already; I'm tired of it. You tell her." Nan Feng drifted away directly.
Since Poseidon hadn't called Xiuluo down directly, and Bo Saixi's attitude was roughly determined, this Sea God Island held no danger for him anymore.
"He doesn't care," Bibi Dong said.
"Doesn't care?" Bo Saixi didn't quite understand.
"Do you think he's thinking about revenge?" Bibi Dong asked.
"Wouldn't he...?" Bo Saixi said.
"You're overthinking it; he has no interest in that." Bibi Dong sat down.
"He only does what is necessary. For things without a compelling reason, he wouldn't even bother to glance at them."
"If I hadn't forcibly kept him here, he wouldn't even have the interest to go on living."
"Even everything he is doing now is merely to complete a promise he made to certain people."
"If you must put it a certain way, he is simply fulfilling his own commitment."
"But..." Bo Saixi paused.
"I don't see him as such a magnanimous person either."
"I said he doesn't care, not that he is magnanimous," Bibi Dong said.
"Those are two different things."
"Xiuluo wants to kill him; the reason is sufficient, reasonable, and logical. He knows this himself and understands everything Xiuluo has done, so he doesn't mind that Xiuluo is killing him, because that is Xiuluo's duty."
"Ah?" Bo Saixi looked bewildered.
"How should I explain this to you..." Bibi Dong thought silently for a moment.
"Simply put, it's a matter of rules."
"Nan Feng's logical thinking is extremely rational. For things that happen within the rules, no matter how disgusting, he doesn't care; it's all the same to him."
"Xiuluo's reason for wanting to kill Nan Feng is very clear: it's because he got mixed up with the Dragon Kings. This is Xiuluo's duty as a Law Enforcer God. No matter who did this, Xiuluo would kill that person; it's not because Nan Feng did it that Xiuluo wants to kill him."
"In short, it's the difference between targeting the act versus targeting the person."
"A rule is set there; someone touches it and is punished by the administrator—that is targeting the act, not the person."
"But if this person didn't touch the rule, yet the administrator insists on getting them due to personal emotions, that is targeting the person, not the act."
"In the former case, no matter what malice he suffers, Nan Feng doesn't care, because he feels it is only natural."
"In the latter case, no matter how small the matter, Nan Feng will hold a grudge forever! He won't stop until he gets revenge!"
"And in this matter, the God Realm took action against Nan Feng because he got mixed up with the Dragon Kings. This is a risk he knew about long ago, so even if he died, he would have no resentment; he feels it is normal."
"Therefore, the revenge you are worried about will not happen at all."
"..."
"Don't believe it?" Bibi Dong looked at the dazed Bo Saixi.
"Still can't understand?"
Bo Saixi's expression was somewhat unnatural. "I just didn't expect there to be such... rational people." "I don't believe it either," Bibi Dong shrugged.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it even if I were beaten to death."
"But if you change your perspective just a little, you will find that his logical thinking is actually very easy to understand."
Bo Saixi was startled. "What perspective?"
"Not worrying about scarcity, but about inequality," Bibi Dong said.
"If everyone is the same, then it doesn't matter, but if it is targeted solely at him, then it's a matter of life and death."
"You feel his logical thinking is unrealistic because your own logical thinking is unsound, just like those so-called fence-sitters who sway with the wind."
"To put it bluntly, it's double standards: I can kill you, but you cannot kill me; I do things this way because it's natural, but you doing it is rebellious."
"Everyone uses double standards, lenient with themselves and strict with others. When their own interests are damaged, they feel it's no big deal, but when they see others doing the same thing, even if it's the smallest matter, they want to kill them."
"But Nan Feng, he uses the same set of standards for himself and for others."

"He acts according to one set of logic, so among a crowd of people with double standards, he appears particularly abrupt, even appearing somewhat hypocritical."
"To be honest, if I hadn't witnessed his change from madness to calmness, I wouldn't believe it either."
"His thought logic is already sound; the world in his eyes is incomparably transparent. His actions will not have the slightest contradiction, so no one can stop him."
"He has already achieved his own balance."
"Don't look at him as just a lecherous idiot right now; his level of thought is much higher than yours."
Nan Feng has already walked the path of ideological development he spoke of before; he has completed the construction of his own thought logic and will no longer be influenced by the outside world.
"Then what was he like before?" Bo Saixi asked curiously.
"Before?" Bibi Dong sighed.
"He was erratic all day long, normal one moment, crazy the next, thinking today about saving the world, bringing love and peace."
"The next morning, 'I, damn it, want to destroy the world!'"
"'Idiots, all idiots, this world is just one big idiot, giving birth to countless little idiots.'"
"'A stupid world with only idiots has no value in existing.'"
"'Wait a couple of days, walk two steps on the street, see a pretty little loli, she calls him big brother, kisses him once, eh, he feels the world is bright again, he's going to save the world.'"
"Repeating in cycles."
Bo Saixi's expression was strange. "Then he is now..."
"Now he is just a pure old lecher," Bibi Dong said.
"He has returned to simplicity."
"If it weren't for the fact that he promised to complete this matter before, now..."
Bibi Dong looked up at the big sun.
"He should be indulging in debauchery in broad daylight."
"Ah?" Bo Saixi looked bewildered.
Such a large span?
Bibi Dong raised her eyebrows. "Why do you think he insisted on choosing you?"
"Really just because you are closest to the God Realm? The most trouble-free?"
"I don't deny that is one reason, but at the same time, that old lecher has taken a fancy to you; you can't run."
"I..." Bo Saixi's expression was somewhat unnatural.
"Rest assured, he won't come at you hard; he's not that vulgar." Bibi Dong stood up.
"However, it is also impossible for you to run." (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 226 =====
