Chapter 7269 (Seven Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty-Nine) Buffer

The brown-handed man laughed and said, "Isn't there a buffer period?"

"What buffer?" the gray-handed man asked.

“You only said one word, ‘you’,” said the brown-handed man.

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "Otherwise what? Didn't you tell me to speak frankly? You said to speak frankly just now, but after I finished speaking, you said to take a break."

"Does 'speaking frankly' mean without any beating around the bush? Does having a buffer before speaking not affect speaking frankly?" the brown-handed man asked.

"You say it won't have any impact, so it won't. I've thought back to what happened just now, and there's already been some buffer time," said the gray-handed man.

"Where can I find it?" the brown-handed man asked.

The gray-handed man laughed and said, "I told you before, 'Since that's the case, I'll just say it directly.' Wasn't that a buffer? You continued what I was saying, so I just 'said it directly' afterward. This was done at your request."

"At my request?" the brown-handed man asked.

"What's wrong? Do you have any questions about this?" the gray-handed man asked with a smile.

The brown-handed man replied, "Yes. Explain it clearly and I'll understand what's going on."

“I guess you could say that already. I said that you continued what I was saying, and what you said back then was a request,” said the Gray-Handed Man.

“You could say it’s a request,” the brown-handed man laughed.

"Surely not? No matter what you think, from my perspective, it is a request." The gray-handed man laughed.

The brown-handed man asked, "What do you want?"

“Just say what you want,” the gray-handed man laughed. “You just said, ‘Yes, just say it.’ So I said it directly, very directly, right? After hearing your request, I didn’t even wait before saying ‘you.’”

"Didn't you even pause before saying 'you'?" the brown-handed man asked.

“It was buffered earlier,” the gray-handed man said. “Take the movement for example, the buffer is usually connected to the core movement that is actually going to be performed, right?” the brown-handed man asked.

“That seems to be the general rule,” the gray-handed man said. “But you also said that this is an action, not talking. Actions are continuous; otherwise, would you leave someone suspended in mid-air?”

“For people like us, leaving someone suspended in mid-air is nothing new,” the Brown-Handed Man laughed.

“You know we’re not talking about situations involving special abilities,” Grayhand laughed.

The brown-handed man said, "Hmm, okay, go on. Generally speaking, actions are performed in sequence, and then what?"

“But speaking doesn’t always have to be continuous,” Grayhand said. “Otherwise, why would we have the term ‘interrupting’?”

“There is such a thing as ‘interrupting,’ which means that after interrupting, you can continue the conversation from where you left off,” the brown-handed man said.

“Yes, that’s what I meant,” the gray-handed man laughed. “So, I can take what you said as an ‘interruption’.”

The brown-handed man asked, "Which sentence?"

The gray-handed man replied, "It's what you told me, 'Yes, just say it directly.'"

"Take it as an 'interruption,' and then what?" the brown-handed man asked.

"If you look at the two parts of what I said before and after you 'interrupted' together, as a whole, isn't the buffer in my speech much more obvious?" Grayhand asked.

"And some with a portion removed from the middle?" the brown-handed man asked.

"It's not that I removed it, it's just that I treated your part in the middle as an 'interruption'," the gray-handed man laughed.

“Alright, then I’ll assume you have a very clear way of speaking,” the brown-handed man laughed.

"You sound rather helpless about it," the gray-handed man asked.
