Chapter 43: Causal Balance
Over the years, many people have experienced many worlds and discovered several rules that have not been explained by the rulers, but have always existed in the world. The most important one is balance.
Balance does not mean equality, it is not a balance between strength and weakness, but a balance between cause and effect.
For example, Wu Sheng’s talent for "Soul Chasing and Death" awakened in this world now seems that even if he has not really taken office, he has brought him a lot of benefits. From the perspective of causal balance, he may need to make some contributions to this world to repay it in order to achieve causal balance.
From a small perspective, for example, the things that the Deng family gave him, Wu Sheng must find an opportunity to repay the favor, otherwise it will cause losses equal to or greater than the income.
It is said that the law of balance can even transcend the limitations of the world. For example, if he gives up this world of alienity now, he will return immediately with all the benefits and never come here again in the future. It does not mean that the law of balance will not work.
If Wu Sheng really does this, the most likely result is that he will suffer a big loss in the future, suffer serious damage or even die. The guy who caused him to suffer a big loss is likely to be from this alien world that he gave up!
No one knows how the law of balance works, nor when and where it will take effect, but more and more conscripted people have begun to restrain their words and deeds and consciously pay attention to this issue. It is precisely because of this that the dominant world has not completely become a bloody place for "eating raw human flesh". Most conscripted people attach great importance to the promise and will repay kindness.
This is not because they are so noble, but because everyone feels that there is indeed a "balance rule" such as the Damocles sword hanging high above their heads, forcing them to do some morally noble behaviors.
After coming to this alien world, Wu Sheng felt that there was a force that no one knew to protect the "balance rules". The [Book of Life and Death] in this world is like a guardian of the "balance rules". The evil deeds committed by a person may not be retaliated against by the "balance rules" during his lifetime, and some practitioners can even avoid those backlash after death.
But according to various legends, everyone can avoid the first day of the lunar month and cannot escape the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and will sooner or later be affected by the "balance rules". There are only two ways to avoid being backfired. One is to use strong strength to suppress the time when the backfire comes, and not give the "balance rules" or the [Life and Death Book] any chance; the other is to return to the lost path and repay the previous cause and effect with greater sacrifices and more contributions.
Wu Sheng is now facing a choice whether to accept Zhou Ping's "cause" that seems to be of great value. As long as he accepts it, he will repay the same "cause". Although he has not seen what it looks like to be backfired by the "balance rules", Wu Sheng does not want to try the rules that most of the conscripted people believe in. He must do everything possible to repay the "cause".
After Zhou Ping finished telling, Wu Sheng did not immediately accept the jade box, but instead frowned and thought.
If the gift Zhou Ping gave him was really as she said, it would be much more valuable than all the gifts Deng Chong gave him, so he had to be more cautious because all these would have to be repaid in the future. The more you get, the more you repay.
After some thought, Wu Sheng still took the jade box over.
He is not the only one who is being conscripted in the world. Many of the conscripts came earlier than him and have already taken a huge advantage. If he wants to catch up with the progress of his predecessors, he has to accept most of the help as much as possible.
These help is more like the funds added to him by others in futures investment. If you want to do it quickly and grow, Wu Sheng cannot do without "funds". Only with "funds" can he have capital risen, otherwise there will be no opportunity. As long as he rises fast enough, he can return more of all "funds".
Besides, there is already a "debt" like "Soul Chasing and Death" talent that is forced to be added. If there are too many accounts, you are not afraid of asking for it, and if there are too many mosquitoes, you are not afraid of biting it. Even if Zhou Ping's "cause" is of high value, it is probably not as good as the "Soul Chasing and Death" talent.
After Wu Sheng took the jade box, the serious and formal atmosphere between the two returned to the original relaxed state.
Seeing that Wu Sheng accepted the gift, Zhou Ping also reminded him that once he opened the jade box, it is best to take the elixir immediately, otherwise it will be a little troublesome. Wu Sheng didn't know the reason, but he was not an arrogant person who refused to listen to advice, so he agreed directly.
After this gift was given, the atmosphere returned to the previous one. The two chatted while tasting tea. During the chat, Zhou Ping also tried to ask Wu Sheng’s preferences.
Wu Sheng used to be an ordinary employee, and his personality tended to be introverted, so he prefers to the home-based side. In this world of different degrees, without the Internet, he has almost no activities that he particularly likes. However, it is easier to say directly that people misunderstand it is to keep it confidential, so he told Zhou Ping that he likes to create some small things.
This is not a random fabrication. After being integrated with Dana's memory, coupled with the research atmosphere of the broken world since prehistoric inheritance and has returned to the mainstream, Wu Sheng really likes to study and make some things now.
Research and creation are actually a kind of home-based behavior. Even if you work with many people, as long as it is pure research, you can treat all parts except yourself as machines.
But Zhou Ping still understood Wu Sheng’s meaning wrong, thinking that this was a refusal to conceal her true preferences. She had learned about Wu Sheng’s previous experiences, but the other party had never expressed the same preferences as she said.
No matter how smart a person is, he will inevitably make empirical mistakes, and so does Zhou Ping. What she knows are Wu Sheng’s preferences “before his death” and does not belong to Wu Sheng herself now.
Wu Sheng did not conduct any research some time ago. It was not that he didn't like it, but that he had no conditions at all.
The scholar should look at him with admiration for three days. Everyone understands this principle, but not everyone will always remember it. Wu Sheng also saw that Zhou Ping did not believe his words, but what he said was the truth. I treat him sincerely. If you don’t believe it yourself, you won’t blame me.
Although she didn't believe it, Zhou Ping did not completely abandon this topic and said bluntly that if she had any needs in the future, she could go directly to the Zhou Mansion to find her or her father, Zhou Mansion. If she found something in the future, she would definitely leave it to her for promotion and sale.
Wu Sheng hesitated for a moment, and Zhou Ping used it as a joke, so he could not regard it as a joke. If he agreed at this time, he would hand over part of the rights and interests of the things he would do in the future to Zhou Ping, and Wu Sheng had to consider it carefully.
In the end, Wu Sheng did not agree clearly, and just said that he would talk about it later.
