Lawyer: Start with legal retaliation against infidelity!

Chapter 228 Xu De's Thirst! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

"Cooperate?"

"This isn't right."

The rat's face showed a wary look. Having lived in the lower class for a long time, he had long since developed a very useful sixth sense.

He sensed that the person in front of him had ill intentions!

"You're not trying to trick me into going in, then claim I came to the law firm without being properly dressed!?"

The mouse pointed to its feet.

Xu De: ......

"Am I that kind of person?" Xu De was speechless.

How could anyone think of him like that? He figured his reputation was pretty good, wasn't it?

The mouse scoffed, "Heh heh."

"Alright."

Xu De waved his hand, then looked the rat in front of him up and down, raised an eyebrow, and smiled:

"What do you think are the most pressing conflicts in Dongguo right now? I'm referring to those at the grassroots level, not the global political situation."

Upon hearing this...

The mouse was a little suspicious, wondering why the person in front of it was asking it this question.

But after a moment's thought, he finally said, "It's a conflict between men and women."

He paused, then casually said:

"What is its essence?"

Xu De smiled, crossed his arms, and asked.

At that moment, he suddenly understood the meaning of the phrase "unity of knowledge and action" in the skill: "The more you know, the deeper your thinking becomes; the deeper your thinking becomes, the more control you have."

If you know nothing, you are very easily influenced by superficial extreme emotions, thus passively joining the conflict.

Conversely, if you understand the nature of contradiction, the composition of contradiction...

So, if someone tries to influence you with the same old rhetoric now, you'll just think they're an idiot.

"nature?"

"The essence is naturally the result of a combination of factors."

The mouse spoke casually, then paused, and suddenly looked at Xu De in front of him, asking:

What do you think?

Xu De thought for a moment, then brought a chair and sat down by the door.

The mouse also pushed its tricycle to the doorway, sat on the seat, and looked at the other.

After a moment, Xu De slowly said:

"First of all, capital is inherently profit-driven."

"Profits are generated through human productivity."

"Men and women have different physical attributes, which leads to inherent differences in productivity."

First, Xu De thought of the root of the conflict.

Most people might subconsciously think of the saying "one generation cuts down trees, another generation is exposed to the sun," leading to lower employment rates and lower wages.

This is one of the factors.

But what is the essence?

If you remove those factors, the essence is that low productivity leads to even lower profits.

for example.

Two people, with the same education and abilities, are completely equal. One of them can work 10 hours a day, while the other can only work 8 hours.

At this time.

If you were the boss, and both salaries were the same, who would you choose?

This is the pursuit of profit, regardless of gender, only looking at how much profit can be generated!

"However, physiology clearly distinguishes these two people who have the same education and abilities."

After a moment of thought, Xu De slowly spoke.

"To see the big picture from the small details."

"Place it into the overall logic of social capital operation."

"In society as a whole, given the same level of education and ability, capital will almost inevitably choose the side with stronger productivity."

"This reveals a rather distorted phenomenon regarding job competition."

The source of the conflict is not men, but capital.

At the same time, feminism gave rise to feminism, which stigmatized "feminism".

In addition, the people behind them cut down trees and were exposed to the scorching sun.

Having a child immediately upon starting work only exacerbated her already difficult situation.

"Hmm? Interesting."

The mouse raised an eyebrow and sized up the lawyer in front of him.

but.......

Suddenly, a smile appeared on the mouse's face. He laughed heartily, then said:

"A good perspective."

"But what about the plight of men?"

male?

The dilemma of men...

Xu De paused, frowned, and fell into thought.

What are the dilemmas faced by men?

Yes!

First, as mentioned earlier, capital is profit-driven, which is why men are allowed to join the workforce, and men are chosen for equal pay.

But don't forget that profits are generated by productivity, and to gain more profits, you need to invest more productivity.

And so, "exploitation" came into being!

Company exploitation, enterprise exploitation, factory exploitation!

An 8-hour workday is forced upon you, making you work 12 or even 14 hours a day, but the money you're paid is based on the 8-hour workday.

And at this time.

You're exhausted, and then a feminist comes along and accuses you of oppressing women in this way and that way...

What would you think?

I've been exploited to the point of being an idiot, and the other party is still cursing me. Is there any justice in this world?!

"If that's the case, then all that's needed is to strictly enforce labor laws."

"But external factors may lead large countries to need to unleash more productive forces to drive development..."

Xu De suddenly said.

If you want to develop, you have to liberate productivity. If everyone reduces their working hours from 12 hours to 8 hours, then logically, you will lose 4 hours of development resources.

What will happen if it's gone?

If you lose your power, you will be attacked; if you fall behind, you will be attacked. This is an immutable iron law in the world order!

If you can't develop your skills, your life will be much worse than working 12 hours a day.

Several wars that occurred in later generations serve as examples.

Furthermore, time is of the essence!

If nearly half of the production time were suddenly lost... being hit would be almost certain.

So, yet another conflict has arisen.

"If we don't rush to develop, we'll be vulnerable to attack, and everyone will suffer if we are attacked."

"But to develop, we must unleash all of our productive forces."

"If all productive forces are unleashed, then the profit-seeking nature of capital will exploit men."

"And most people are just ordinary people, without critical thinking or the energy to explore the essence of things. As a result, the contradictions are transferred to each other's genders, becoming the so-called gender contradictions."

The mouse slowly opened its mouth, giving a final summary of what Xu De had said.

"Besides that."

"There are also issues with assigning responsibility to both parties."

"The current global mainstream has narrowed down to the family unit, with clear distinction between men and women."

"But men need to bear more financial responsibility, while women need guarantees for reproduction, such as dowry."

In front of the law firm's main entrance.

Xu De suddenly seemed to have a flash of inspiration, his mind filled with many new perspectives. He frowned and pondered again:

"this......"

"It is the legacy of the rules that allowed civilization to survive from the previous two eras that led to this... In essence, it is the incompatibility of existing systems with the modern world."

Matriarchal society.

Why are women becoming decision-makers?

Because private ownership did not exist, fathers could not be found, and everyone appeared on the show "Where Did Dad Go?". The power lay in the identities of "son" and "brother", with women acting as the link in the relationship.

In addition, the main task for the continuation of civilization is gathering, which requires stability, while going out to hunt involves a high degree of uncertainty.

Therefore, matriarchal society was born.

Then.

It is a patriarchal society.

The emergence of private ownership allowed individual greed to take root. The "Where Are We Going, Dad?" program disappeared, the bond between mothers shifted to fathers, and tribes eventually became nations.

The country is experiencing war, plunder, and violence.

At this point, if a civilization wants to continue, gathering is clearly not an option; it needs the strength and violence of men!

Therefore, feudal patriarchal society became the rule for the continuation of civilization.

"But the modern era is the third era, neither the primitive era nor the feudal era."

"But that's just how it is."

"The rules used in modern society are, due to factors of civilizational inheritance, a combination of legacies from the previous two eras..."

Xu De suddenly opened his brow, as if he had figured something out.

Modern civilization continues through intellectual labor.

But the rules are from the previous two eras.

This is like...

In feudal times, when civilization needed to be sustained by violence and force, you asked the entire nation to abandon the use of force and instead engage in harmless gathering.

He understood.

But the rat in front of it was terrified.

"You... Attorney Xu, are you sure you don't have a teacher!?"

The rat stared in shock at Xu De, even getting off the tricycle and limping back and forth, looking at the man in astonishment.

"From small things one can know great things; from one instance one can draw inferences about others; this is just one example..."

He used three positive words in a row.

If Wang Chao were here, the two might have matched successfully and competed to see who had the most vocabulary, but unfortunately, the other person had already left work.

finally.

The mouse looked away, took a deep breath, and said:

"Yes."

"But this is only one factor contributing to the conflict, not the whole story."

Xu De seemed to be deep in thought, his mind constantly pondering.

As for those feminists and feminists who detach themselves from the root of the conflict and merely vent their emotions...

It is itself controlled by public opinion.

Of course, when problems arise, we must also be objectively vigilant, because conflicts are one thing, and social atmosphere is another.

For example, when it comes to staged accidents, one should hesitate and think things through before deciding what to do.

Just then...

In a daze, a pale blue light screen suddenly appeared in front of him.

You engaged in reflection, which broadened your thinking and elevated your perspective.

[Skill: Unity of Knowledge and Action +2]

[Skill: Unity of Knowledge and Action lv1 (2/10)]

In a daze.

Xu De suddenly felt as if he had received a top-notch mental massage, and his mental state was extremely clear.

It's as if I've entered a higher-dimensional perspective, and everything I see now carries a different kind of reflection.

He blinked, and the world before him... seemed to become clearer!

"+2? They really added it!"

Xu De was overjoyed. Looking at the panel in front of him, he felt a surge of excitement and anticipation.

Thinking Enhancement + Data-Driven Enhancement...

This is truly a case of stepping on one's own foot with the left!

"Alright, where's my water bottle?"

The mouse smacked its lips, watching him warily, wanting only to take its water bottle away as quickly as possible.

Xu De came to his senses.

He looked at the mouse in front of him and squinted his eyes.

Good guy.

The homeless man in front of me... definitely has a lot of things stored up in his mind, and these things are definitely not all of them!

"Rat...no, Brother Rat."

Xu De looked at the man in front of him with a smile, his heart filled with restless desire.

"Actually... I still have a few other questions I haven't figured out. How about we discuss them again now?"

at this time.

The mouse, who only wanted to grab the water bottle and leave, was stunned. Then, a chill ran down his spine, and he instinctively took a half step back.

"What...what do you want to do?"

The mouse looked very wary.

"I'm telling you, the recycling center is about to close down, and I still have to go sell things."

"Oh well, never mind if you don't have time."

Xu De shook his head, then stepped aside to make way for him, and pointed to a corner of the law firm's lobby.

"Chaozi packed it up for you before he left work."

"Just take it."

In the corner.

Just then, there was a garbage bag filled with paper cups and mineral water bottles used by customers that day, which the mouse found irresistible.

"You really think I can take it? You're not kidding me, are you?"

"The mouse probed."

"Am I that kind of person?!" Xu De felt his personality had been insulted.

"Then...then I'll take it?"

The mouse hesitated before taking a step forward.

Seeing that the other party did not react, he then walked into the law firm.

But... just as I went in, a voice suddenly came from behind me.

"Clang!"

The mouse turned around and saw Xu De behind it, who had closed the main entrance of the law firm and was now staring at it expressionlessly.

Xu De stretched out his hand, pointed to the floor tiles beneath his feet, and said with dissatisfaction:

"Who let you in?!"

"Didn't I say you can't come in if you're dressed sloppily!"

mouse:?

"you......"

The mouse hadn't finished speaking.

Immediately afterwards, right in front of Lin Yue, who was constantly eating melon seeds in the hall, Xu De grabbed her and instantly refined her.

......

You've given it your time to reflect, and your thoughts have become increasingly profound.

【Unity of Knowledge and Action +1】

......

You ponder once more, your mind drifting into a void, contemplating the mysteries of the entire universe.

【Unity of Knowledge and Action +1】

.......

【Unity of Knowledge and Action +1】

until......

Six o'clock in the afternoon.

Huoju Road, in front of the "Houde Law Firm".

The mouse, clutching the mineral water bottle he had finally obtained, walked out of the law firm looking haggard. Before leaving, he glanced back at the law firm with a terrified look in his eyes.

They lured people into the law firm and then murdered them...

"Does this lawyer have any morals at all? He even scams homeless people!?"

The mouse wanted to curse, but when it opened its mouth, it only felt its mouth was dry.

I glanced down at the bottle.

I wonder if selling these bottles will be enough to buy even one bottle of something to soothe my throat...

finally.

The rat simply hopped on a tricycle and fled from the law firm entrance.

Inside the law firm.

"Sigh, what a pity, he got away."

In the lobby.

Xu De sat on the sofa, gazing in the direction the mouse had left, muttering to himself with lingering satisfaction.

He looked up again and glanced at the panel floating in mid-air in front of him.

[Skill: Unity of Knowledge and Action lv1 (5/10)]

"In just a few hours, it improved by 5 points..."

"These 5 points... I feel like my legal abilities have increased by at least 5 percentage points!"

Xu De murmured, his fists clenched slightly, feeling a surge of power throughout his body.

Five percent doesn't sound like much.

However, when you reach a certain level, every one percent improvement is a leap forward!

Not to mention five percent.

Moreover, this was only an improvement in one afternoon!

and......

"How does this rat have so much information stored in its brain? Just who is it?"

Xu De stroked his chin and put the question back to the rat, but he couldn't come up with an answer no matter how hard he thought about it, so he simply gave up on thinking about it.

He composed himself.

He then looked at Lin Yue, who was watching TV and eating potato chips.

The other person always leaves work with me, and since I didn't leave earlier, she stayed too.

Xu De stepped forward, picked up the remote, and turned off the TV.

"Buzz~!"

The TV screen is black.

Lin Yue was slightly taken aback, and after realizing what was happening, she expressed her strong dissatisfaction to the other party.

"Protest! Protest! I almost saw the male and female leads kiss!"

"Protest invalid."

Xu De said with a stern face:

"It's time to go home."

"Besides, watch less of these saccharine dramas with handsome men and beautiful women; watching too much of them is bad for your brain."

Lin Yue put down the potato chips, sealed them, and placed them in the law firm's refrigerator. She washed her hands briefly before leaving the law firm with the other person, saying as they walked:

"I think my brain works pretty well."

On the way to Baiyun Temple.

Xu De thought for a moment, but couldn't help but laugh, "Hehe, Little Pig True Lord."

Lin Yue, who was walking beside her, was taken aback and was about to retort when she suddenly remembered something.

She remembered that not long ago, in Wutong City, Xu De seemed to... be unable to bear the words of Li Jiahe and other patients.

Thinking of this.

Lin Yue's eyes suddenly lit up. She grasped Xu De's sleeve, pursed her lips, and said:

"Attorney Xu."

"Um?"

The two walked side by side down the street.

Xu De looked puzzled, turned to Lin Yue beside him, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"I think you look so cool when you're in court."

Lin Yue opened her eyes wide, her gaze full of sincerity, and her tone tinged with emotion as she said:

"You didn't need to care about those patients at all, but you still chose to risk everything to get the medication... I've never seen another lawyer do that in my life!"

Xu De: ?

After a few words...

Xu De suddenly straightened his face and said seriously, "You mean those patients in Wutong City?"

"Those sickly guys, I was just afraid they might side with Tianhe Pharmaceutical Company and make careless remarks that could lead to the defendant being sentenced to a heavy prison term."

As they were talking.

He turned his face away and quickened his pace slightly.

Lin Yue pursed her lips, a smile playing on her lips.

"How can someone run away as soon as they're praised?"

Lin Yue saw through the person in front of her.

Simultaneously.

She also possessed strategic nuclear weapons targeting the enemy.

And now, she, the Nine Heavens Flying Dragon Jade Face Thunder Essence Universal Transformation Subduing Demons Longevity True Lord, is about to launch a targeted nuclear strike against the hostile force codenamed "Virtueless"!

Lin Yue, still clutching the other person's sleeve, pursed her lips and said:

"But a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions."

"Attorney Xu, do you think the patients in Wutong City are still praising you?"

Xu De kept his head down and walked quickly without saying a word.

Lin Yue started tugging at his clothes, pulling him to stop him from running away, and said:

"Attorney Xu, do you think they're still thanking you for saving their child's life?"

Xu De fell silent.

He turned and looked at the girl in front of him, whose eyes held a mischievous and lively quality, and suddenly spoke:

"actually."

"True Lord".

"Sometimes I think lighthearted dramas are quite good, how about we go back and watch some lighthearted dramas?"

Lin Yue shook her head, then looked up at Xu De, her face full of sincerity, and said:

"I think the male lead in a saccharine drama isn't as handsome as you, Attorney Xu."

"Attorney Xu is handsome and has high moral character; he's much better looking than the male lead!"

Xu De met the other person's sincere gaze for a long time, but Xu De gave in, looked away, and said:

"I was wrong."

Seeing this, Lin Yue smiled to herself, put her hands behind her back, raised her head slightly, and walked ahead of Xu De with a very cheerful gait.

"Hmph."

Xu De was wrong, but...

He doesn't change.

Almost instinctively, Xu De blurted out, "Still humming, still humming, Little Pig True Lord."

Lin Yue:?

"Keep humming! Humph hum hum hum, I'll hum you to death!"

"Sigh, I can't hit him, Short-Legged True Lord!"

"Fine, I won't hit you anymore... Come here, I'll tell you a secret..."

"Hmm...hey, still missed! Corgi Master!"

"Stop right there!"

"....."

Torch Road.

On one side of the street, the two walked towards Baiyun Temple, playfully bickering as they faced the setting sun.

Days when you don't have to work are happy.

But Xu De is the King of Scrolls.

He believes that self-improvement is the true source of happiness.

After returning to Baiyun Temple.

In the past few days, Xu De has started to engage Lin Yue in intense competition, and no matter where they are, you can always hear the sound of thinking.

The rewards of this thinking are also presented in data form.
