He lives on another planet and is majoring in Earth Science.

Chapter 392: The philosophy professor explains the exhibits, and everyone has an epiphany.

The voices of the opponents quickly drowned out the voices of Mang Ershao and a few other supporters.

People protested.

"This is a betrayal of our feelings! We need that liar to come here and explain himself!"

"They've completely fooled us; we need an explanation!"

"Yes! My unborn child also needs an explanation!"

Everyone turned to look at the hippopotamus man with the booming voice.

It was enormous, with short, thick limbs, and its bulky body was about to burst out of the silver bodysuit.

A giant head with a huge mouth, which, when opened, seems capable of swallowing everyone whole.

Huo Shao was filled with righteous indignation: "This swindler is absolutely despicable! It's one thing to play with us, but he even went so far as to play with such an elegant lady!"

“I’m not a lady, I’m a man, I’m a sac hippopotamus man, and he tricked the child in my belly into digging in the sea mud for an hour.”

The big hippo lifted the little curtain on its belly, and a little hippo's head poked out, grinning foolishly, "Digging in the mud is so much fun."

Huo Shao was furious: "Look what they've done to the kids! Today, we have to make this liar give us an explanation!"

The angry guests surrounded Little Flower the cat.

A dog barked from outside the crowd.

The female teddy bear craned her neck, excitedly peering into the crowd: "Honey, look! So many people, it's so lively! Everyone's admiring this masterpiece, hurry up!"

"Honey, are you sure you're admiring this? I feel like we're arguing."

The Thai couple made their way through the crowd to the front.

When Huo Shao saw him arrive, he quickly went to greet him.

"Teacher, you've come at the right time. You're a renowned scholar; can you be the judge and tell us whether they're right or wrong in this matter?"

Tai Nan frowned, his previous timidity vanishing, replaced by an air of authority: "How many times have I told you not to be so loud and boisterous? You're a person of status, what kind of behavior is this, shouting like this everywhere?"

Huo Shao said timidly, "My family isn't a nouveau riche family."

Tainan said seriously, "What is a nouveau riche? Your father started from scratch, showing his true colors. But you are a highly educated, up-and-coming intellectual, and you should abandon this mercenary attitude."

Huo Shao muttered under his breath, "I dropped out of elementary school six times, what kind of intellectual am I?"

"What did you say?"

“I said I would definitely reform myself and start a new life.”

"I've told you so many times, get rid of the habits you had in the juvenile detention center."

"I'm sorry, teacher, it's just a conditioned reflex. After all, I spent most of my life there. Thinking about it now, it all feels wonderful."

Tainan glared at him, and he quickly shut up.

"Teacher, I really didn't do anything silly today. That jelly man—"

"Wang!"

Huo Shao corrected, "Barbara aliens."

"They're Barbaraduans! You've forgotten all your astronomical knowledge!"

"You don't teach astronomy either."

"I'm not talking about me, the teacher!"

"I'm sorry. I'll continue. It was that alien from another planet who tricked us. He made us search for clues for so long, only to throw the person into the sea and show us a broken glass case. It was completely empty!"

Tai Nan looked closely at the broken glass case in the middle of the crowd. The cracks on it were clearly visible. Seawater filled the case, and many small fish and shrimp swam inside.

The female teddy bear, clinging to his arm, looked regretful: "There's nothing here. I thought there was something special. How am I going to show this off to my friends? Honey, think of something." "Don't talk to me."

Tainan stared intently at the broken glass case, as if he were mesmerized. He murmured, "A vague feeling is in my mind. I want to experience this exhibit up close."

Tainan released his wife's hand and slowly walked towards the broken glass cabinet.

The crowd fell silent and watched quietly.

Does anyone know what we're looking at?

"Look at the dog."

“If you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense, okay? Professor Tainan is a renowned philosophy professor and a leading figure in contemporary philosophy. It’s a rare opportunity to see him quietly thinking.”

"Could there really be something special about this exhibit?"

"It seems that's true. Exhibits that can make Professor Tainan think must be extraordinary."

Professor Tainan sat like a dog at the bottom of the water, quietly looking at the broken glass cabinet in front of him, his mind constantly thinking.

Suddenly, he sprang up, surrounded by bubbles.

"I understand! I now grasp the profound philosophical meaning behind this exhibit."

Huo Shao was shocked: "Is there really philosophical insight involved?"

Young Master Mang said excitedly, "I told you long ago, you didn't believe me."

Cat Flower was even more confused: "What, there's a philosophical cat?"

Everyone fell silent, waiting for Professor Tainan's guidance.

Professor Tainan stood with his hands behind his back, looking like he was giving a lecture.

"This exhibit showcases the bewilderment of nihilism. Nihilism is a philosophical phenomenon that was prevalent in the early stages of primitive civilizations, aiming to fundamentally doubt the meaning of the world and life. In short, it is the belief that the world and one's own life have no meaning."

"This psychological phenomenon was prevalent after the Industrial Revolution, when productivity soared and humanity basically solved the problem of food and clothing. In our academic circles today, we have a distinct term for similar issues—'having nothing to do when you're full.'"

“Nihilism is not only found in primitive civilizations. Recent social studies have shown that such a trend of thought also exists in the Interstellar Alliance. Many young people believe that no effort they make will have any impact on this vast universe. Rather than working hard, they might as well lie down and even end their lives early. In any case, the end result is to sell their organs to pay off debts.”

"I'm sure everyone is very familiar with this kind of psychology."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Absolutely not."

"My efforts have the power to change the world. With just a few simple stock manipulations, tens of thousands of families have gone bankrupt. I am incredibly valuable."

"Isn't the normal outcome for most people to inherit a fortune?"

"Professor, I think the phenomenon you described is still too niche."

Tai Nan suppressed a twitching smile; it was just too difficult to get these rich kids to empathize with ordinary people.

"This exhibit perfectly illustrates this point. Nothingness, emptiness, nothing at all, is like the empty hearts of countless people. Since it is meaningless to exert all one's strength, it is better to do nothing. This is the profound philosophy revealed by this exhibit."

After listening to Professor Tainan's speech, everyone was full of praise.

"How philosophical! If I hadn't seen this exhibit, I would never have known that there are people who can't change the world."

“I’ve fallen into nihilism. I feel that life is meaningless. What’s the point of working hard? It’s just a difference between 100 billion and 10 billion. But money is just a number. I’ve earned so much money, but I still can’t find the meaning of life.”

Cat Xiaohua crouched in the corner, feeling a chill run down her spine as she listened.

"I'm so confused, meow. Can you explain what's going on, meow?"

Suddenly someone shoved a communicator into her hand.

"Hey, take a picture for me. This is such a rare exhibit, I definitely need to take a good picture to remember it."
