Chapter 387

He still remembers an article he read before: suddenly the power went out in a supermarket in America, and the supermarket was pitch black.

Before long, the supermarket broadcasted: Out of consideration for customer safety,

to avoid stampedes, customers can take away the goods in their hands for free,

which is also compensation for the power outage; please exit in an orderly manner.

Hearing the broadcast, everyone left the checkout counters in an orderly manner.

After the power came back on, the supermarket manager was surprised to find that the checkout counters were filled with money ranging from tens to hundreds of dollars.

It turned out that after the supermarket owner issued the notice, the high-quality Americans

consciously estimated the price of the goods in their hands and silently left the money when they left...

At that time, Zhang Jie sighed that Americans were indeed high-quality,

not willing to take advantage of small gains even when facing such a situation.

The West is at least a hundred years ahead of us in terms of moral quality!

It wasn't until later that he realized the article was too conservative;

in America's 'zero-dollar shopping', you don't even need a power outage to get things for free...

When you see a down-and-out looking black brother with dreadlocks

and dark skin setting up a stall on the street in America selling designer bags

and mobile phones, please don't assume from the start that these things are fake.

Because for the black brother, the cost of fakes is even higher than the real ones...

Of course, one thing to say, the Black Dragon is definitely not a dragon;

the black brothers should just play happily in America and their home in Africa.

Others include: In the Island Nation, plates must be washed seven times, and a Chinese student was fired for washing them two times less.

Foreign tycoons will donate all their money in their later years

to charity, not leaving a penny of property to their own children.

This seems selfless, but in reality, most of it is to avoid inheritance tax.

The actual managers and beneficiaries of those charitable foundations are mostly the tycoons' children;

this is actually just the left hand passing to the right, under a righteous guise.

There is also that foreigners don't look at their phones when taking the subway, but read books,

read newspapers, seize the time to learn, and enrich and improve themselves.

Later, I found out it was because there was no mobile phone signal in the subway...

"Your concerns are very correct, but I still firmly believe that most of Master A's revelations are true."

Water Margin Zhang Jie nodded in approval first, then continued to explain:

"When you have seriously listened to Master A's live broadcasts and heard those things he said,

you will find that many things he said cannot be fake, for a very simple reason—details.

This is like asking someone who has never been in a science and engineering laboratory

and has never done experiments to use their own imagination to fabricate and describe those specific experimental details;

you simply can't make it up, and even if you check the data, you can only make it very pale and general.

There was a segment before where Master A said he especially liked Gundams with tattoos when collecting them,

and the reason was 'the stickers make it convenient to assemble and easy to find the angle';

then you know he has seriously seen and done these things.

Because if you ask someone who has never done it to fabricate rumors out of thin air,

they simply won't consider these detailed problems.

It's just like why in film and television works, when committing suicide with a pistol,

the East tends to shoot at the temple while the West tends to swallow the gun.

Eastern film and television works are all written by screenwriters with no real experience who are just imagining things; whatever is cool,

whatever is beautiful, whatever is shocking, they do it, but Western screenwriters have universal real experience.

Shooting the temple for suicide is more heroic and good-looking, but not practical.

Swallowing the gun has a better effect and is almost certainly fatal.

Because swallowing the gun can directly hit the brainstem, causing the person to instantly lose heartbeat and breathing,

but you must also pay attention to the angle and not miss:

Putting the muzzle into the mouth and shooting towards the palate is a recognized high-success-rate suicide method.

This is because the bullet will directly pass through the brainstem, destroying the central nervous system, leading to instant death.

However, this requires the operator to remain stable; if the muzzle shifts due to nervousness,

recoil, etc., it may not hit the vital point.

If the operation fails, the bullet may only shatter part of the skull or facial bones,

failing to destroy the brainstem, causing the survivor to suffer extremely serious facial trauma,

disfigurement, and long-term pain, and may even become a vegetable.

There are cases showing that some people shot with the muzzle against the chin, resulting in severe facial damage but not death.

Also, the type of firearm has an impact: the power of the pistol or rifle used is different, and the shooting effect is also different.

For example, using a less powerful pistol against the temple

may cause the muzzle to rise due to recoil, failing to guarantee hitting the brainstem.

While using a powerful rifle may directly blow the top of the skull off.

Let me tell you a piece of trivia: people are afraid of death; suicide by shooting the temple often leads to involuntary movement of the muzzle,

resulting in missing, or being seriously injured without dying; those who are truly determined will fire two shots.

But if you are incapacitated after being seriously injured, you will be half-dead and have to suffer until you die.

Swallowing the gun, I feel, mostly doesn't have this problem."

Yitian Zhang Jie continued: "This is how details determine success or failure. Those who believe are normal people;

of course, those who believe everything might have a problem, after all, these words mostly come from his own mouth,

and as long as one is human, there will be omissions; those who don't make mistakes or have omissions are not human,

but gods; but those who don't believe anything at all are very likely to have big problems.

Those who say they don't believe either have other intentions, or they have been misunderstood after the 'kill line' was deconstructed and slashed by those

bad people with ulterior motives.

The kill line doesn't mean you die when you reach it, but that you can't withstand any 'damage' anymore;

encountering problems will have a 'damage increase' effect that will accelerate death.

Many people with problems keep misinterpreting the kill line and keep setting the pace.

The effect of the kill line on people is, to a certain extent, somewhat like HIV (AIDS):

They both directly destroy the human immune system, causing people's resistance to drop severely;

some colds and flu that are usually ignored, with their blessing,

easily develop into major diseases that threaten life.

Just like people 'killed' by the kill line don't die under the kill line's killing,

AIDS patients generally don't die directly from AIDS,

but die from opportunistic infections caused by AIDS, such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, etc., and various tumors."

A complex smile appeared on Consumption Zhang Jie's face:

"The first time I heard the word 'kill line', my first impression was:

In the purest capitalist country, the existence of the kill line is so reasonable and logical.

Later I learned about Master A and knew about his various remarks."

Heavenly Dragon Zhang Jie also nodded slightly in approval: "That's right,

rather than calling it a kill line, it's better to call it the rapid clearing of bad assets;

this is unimaginable at the national level, but very reasonable in company systems.

Without an address, you can't go to work; without work, there is no salary, no source of income,

no money to buy or rent a house; doesn't this become a vicious cycle?"

He inexplicably thought of a famous employment joke from before he transmigrated:

Graduate with a full face of smiles: Hello, I'm here for the interview.

Expressionless interviewer: Do you know our requirements?

We need at least three years of work experience.

Graduate can't smile anymore: But I'm a fresh graduate! Where would I get at least three years of work experience?

Graduate who thought for a moment: How about this, you give me the job, and then I'll have work experience.

Interviewer remains expressionless: This is the company's rigid requirement; I have no right to change it.

Graduate's face is distorted: Without a job, where would I get experience?

It's a classic joke.
