Godslayer: I, the agent of the God of Drama, am here to begin the show.

As the saying goes, "Those who offer unsolicited favors are either treacherous or thieves."

Yuan Gang didn't believe Lin Ze would be so kind as to offer him advice for free.

He must have come with his own purpose in saying that.

Since he can guarantee the safety of the personnel, letting them experience despair is indeed a pretty good experience.

only.....

He was wondering how much compensation Lin Ze needed.

Or rather, how many benefits would it take to motivate it?

"Stop keeping me in suspense, kid."

"Tell me, what are your conditions this time?"

Yuan Gang already knew Lin Ze very well.

Lin Ze chuckled, "You're being too formal by saying that."

"Helping everyone is my responsibility and my duty. How could I possibly ask for anything in return?"

Yuan Gang was not surprised by this.

Because he knew that this was just Lin Ze being polite.

No matter what, this kid won't shortchange me a single penny.

As he expected, Lin Ze then changed the subject.

"But then again..."

"A little compensation for your trouble would be acceptable."

"Then hurry up and tell me how much you want as compensation for your hard work this time."

"Next time, just say it directly and don't beat around the bush. Everyone's busy."

Yuan Gang said somewhat impatiently.

Lin Ze's eyes flickered, and he whispered something in Yuan Gang's ear.

"What?!"

"You're really asking for the moon, aren't you?"

"By the way, why did you change your gender this time? This isn't like you."

From Yuan Gang's shocked tone, it was clear that Lin Ze had quite an appetite this time.

"Don't worry about that."

"Just tell me if you can agree or not."

"It's possible, but..."

Having been tricked by Lin Ze so many times, Yuan Gang has matured.

He decided to try and get something out of Lin Ze.

To be precise, we should discuss terms with him.

And so, the two talked in the office for almost an hour.

Finally, a consensus was reached between the two parties.

This time, Yuan Gang did not show any sign of distress.

Instead, they looked relaxed, as if something good had happened.

Lin Ze also gained his own benefits.

Overall, this is a win-win situation.

After this conversation, their previous agreement was slightly modified.

The original policy of barring Lin Ze and Lin Qiye from participating has been changed to allow them to participate.

However, there are some limitations.

"Lin Ze, you just wait."

"I will definitely cherish this opportunity!"

Yuan Gang said through gritted teeth.

It's unclear what they discussed that could have stirred Yuan Gang's emotions so intensely.

........

At this moment, the school bell rang.

Everyone returned to their respective classrooms to prepare for class.

Lin Ze was the only one who took the day off and didn't come.

In class, the instructor looked at Lin Ze's seat and asked, "Hey, what brings you here?"

"Why didn't Lin Ze come today?"

Cao Yuan, sitting in Lin Ze's seat, said, "Teacher, he asked for leave today."

"There happened to be an empty seat, so I sat down here."

After Lin Ze asked for leave, Cao Yuan, who was sitting in the corridor, could come in.

The instructor on the platform nodded and did not pursue the matter further.

Follow-up question?

He was overjoyed!

It's good that you asked for leave, otherwise this kid won't learn anything in class and I won't be able to control him.

Moreover, it's one thing if he doesn't learn it himself, but he also takes Lin Qiye with him.

It's better if they don't come.

People like Lin Ze are actually best suited to being left to their own devices.

"Alright, let's continue with what we just learned in the last lesson."

"The impact of the battlefield on the forbidden ruins."

"......."

On the stage, the teacher was giving earnest advice to the students below.

The audience below the stage, however, was drowsy and half asleep.

At this moment, Lin Qiye's thoughts had already drifted far away.

He wondered why Lin Ze hadn't come to class.

He told himself he needed to take a day off, without saying what he was going to do.

Could he have been assigned a specific task by the instructors?

Or is he resting in his dorm right now?

Why is he resting? Could it be that he hasn't fully recovered since his last visit?

Did it leave any hidden injuries?

Normally, as long as Lin Ze doesn't bother him.

Lin Qiye is a child who loves learning very much.

Especially learning things that can increase one's chances of survival in the future.

But this time, he couldn't hear a word the teacher said.

His mind was entirely focused on Lin Ze.

All he wanted to do right now was to go back to the dormitory and check on Lin Ze after the morning classes were over.

Just as he guessed, Lin Ze was indeed in the dormitory.

But it's not a time to rest.

At that moment, he was studying those philosophy books carefully on the stage of the opera god.

"The reality of the world depends on whether matter is real; this is a dialectical view from a materialist perspective."

"In this view, matter is primary, and consciousness is secondary."

"But the argument from a skeptical perspective is that sometimes matter can deceive us, just like a mirage."

"What he said makes sense; sometimes what you see isn't necessarily the truth."

"In that case, graduation certificates such as materialism have already been overturned."

"How the hell am I supposed to explain this?!"

In just a few hours, Lin Ze had already learned almost all the ideas of various schools of thought.

It is precisely because I learned too much and too many different things.

This has prevented him from giving a precise answer.

Because under the theories of different schools of thought, they can both refute and support each other.

It's like someone telling you...

Strike first and you'll have the upper hand; strike later and you'll suffer the consequences.

Someone else is talking to you.

The nail that sticks out gets hammered down.

This will leave you quite confused, as you won't understand which one of them is right.

But if you look at them separately, both are correct.

However, if we put them together, none of them make sense.

This is what philosophy is like.

You can learn from one school of thought, but you can only learn from one school.

Otherwise you will end up in a situation like Lin Ze's.

He had no other choice; if he only studied one school of thought, it would be easily overthrown by Merlin.

This won't help Lin Qiye at all.

Therefore, he must find an impeccable theory.

But it seems that this does not exist.

Gradually, Lin Ze's mental state also began to deteriorate.

"Hehehehe..."

"This world doesn't exist at all."

"Everything is fake, everything is fake!"

"Yes, that's the truth!"

"I understand, I understand everything!"

"It's done!"

"I've succeeded, Daoist Master!!!"

Just as Lin Ze felt himself drifting away from his own world, a familiar hand suddenly pulled him back.

He even slapped himself in the face.

"Lin Ze, what's wrong?"

"Did you have a nightmare?"

"Wake up! Wake up!"

Lin Ze opened his eyes somewhat dazedly and saw Lin Qiye anxiously shaking his shoulders.

His eyes were full of worry.

"What kind of nightmare did you have?"

"No, it seems I have to slap him again."

Then, Lin Ze saw Lin Qiye slowly raise his palm once again.

Lin Ze: "Huh?"

"No, wait a minute."
