That being said, it is still a transaction.

It's just that this "transaction" is more idealistic. After all, between the holy spring and fun, there is no need to discuss which is more important. A normal person would not trade it.

But she is not a normal person. If Lu Li suggests it, she will really change it.

"Apart from the formal answer, are there any other answers?" Vera asked curiously.

"Yes, isn't that what I'm doing now?" Lu Li said.

"What do you mean?" Vera blinked, with a strong sense of anticipation rising in her heart.

"Didn't you say before that as long as I answer, you would allow me to take the holy spring no matter what the answer is?"

Lu Li said: "And you definitely won't make this kind of promise lightly, which means it depends on the person."

"So the answer is simple. I will show my gentlemanly spirit and then do my best and leave the rest to fate."

"Essentially, it's a way for you to 'voluntarily' undermine your own interests."

Hearing this, Vera froze in place.

Compared to the previous answer, delegation.

Now this answer is closer to her thoughts.

In essence, calling it a commission was actually a display of "attitude", and Lu Li directly stated the core.

Of course, having said that, the operation still has to be roundabout, just like Lu Li first proposed the commission and then stated the subsequent content openly.

"You're a lot more interesting than I thought."

After a while, Vera couldn't help but say.

It sounds abstract, but it is actually easier to understand if you use a metaphor.

Vera has the life-saving medicine that Lu Li needs. She doesn't accept requests or deals, and moral blackmail is useless.

At this time, the first thought that comes to most people's minds is to snatch. This is the so-called "command", which is simply a coercive act.

Compulsion is annoying, but Vera wants different answers, so she keeps asking people difficult questions and says she will kill those who give her orders.

As for the difference between entrustment and transaction, it is also very simple.

It was said before that Villa would not accept the trade, but in essence it was a trade. The difference lies in the "gap".

For normal people, how could they accept the difference between a divine weapon and a piece of fun?

But for Vera, this unexpected "gap" is the most important.

And getting Vera to accept this "gap" is conditional. Without this basic condition, it will be a waste.

The condition is Vera's favor. Lu Li has solved the problem of the people of Belden, which has already fulfilled the prerequisite.

Even if he showed the "gentlemanly demeanor", it was not something that could be achieved with a gust of wind, but rather by showing his actions to Vera.

"By the way, since I accepted your question, shouldn't you give me something of equal value in return?"

Lu Li smiled and looked at Vera and said, "After all, you promised me that you could take the Holy Spring as long as you 'answered', but I did answer you an extra question."

Delegation and gentlemanly conduct are two answers.

The former has already solved Vera's problem, while the latter is a new question arising from her curiosity.

"Okay, you're setting me up?!"

Vera was stunned and became furious.

He rushed directly towards Lu Li, grabbing his face and kneading it.

She has a nice figure and this distance is quite enjoyable and a feast for the eyes.

Vera was right, Lu Li had set a trap for her, and that was the word "formal answer".

There are formal answers, and naturally there are informal ones.

Most people might overlook it, but Vera was described in the original work as a god who could "see the big picture from the small details", so it was impossible for him not to notice the other meanings in Lu Li's words.

But she didn't expect that this "other meaning" was a trap, waiting for her here.

Volume 1: Chapter 37: Vera's Shock

"You can choose to refuse."

Lu Li did not resist Vera pinching his face.

Anyway, I'm thick-skinned, so I can just pinch her a couple of times to vent my anger.

"Are you looking down on me?"

Vera snorted and said, "Although I was tricked, it was also due to my incompetence. I accept it."

"Go ahead."

"If you are sitting on a runaway carriage, there are two roads ahead to choose from." Lu Li heard this and smiled, "There are five people tied up on the road ahead. If you choose to continue forward, you will definitely crush them to death."

"There is a second road nearby, but you need to change the direction of the carriage. However, there is a person tied to the ground."

"How do you choose?"

Vera's mouth twitched.

Has this always been my problem?

No, she was not so mean. She had never given anyone the problem of 'both choices would hurt innocent people'.

And no matter which one you choose, you will torture your heart.

This is exactly the classic problem that Lu Li encountered before traveling through time, the trolley problem.

In the original novel, Hedin of Freya's family encountered this kind of dilemma. He chose his companions, so the civilians in the shelter he was protecting were killed in the explosion. It was really disgusting.

"I think you are making things difficult for me."

Vera rolled her eyes, then fell into deep thought.

She was not the kind of person who would argue nonsense. The core problem of the trolley problem was obvious. It would be shameful to find loopholes in it. Therefore, she had to find the answer to the core problem.

Do nothing and let five people die.

It’s better to change the route and sacrifice one person to save five.

Or find other ways to save everyone... Vera fell into thought.

After a long while, she said, "Let's do nothing."

"As expected."

Lu Li nodded, not surprised by the answer.

"You think so too?"

Vera raised an eyebrow and asked, "Or do you have a better answer?"

“There is no formal answer.”

Lu Li shook his head and said, "The first answer is very simple, that is the self-preservation party, the second answer is the utilitarian party."

The carriage losing control was an accident and you can't blame yourself for it.

Another point, not changing the route is an accident, but changing the route is murder.

Because you knew that if you changed the route, that person would die, but you still did it.

If the route had not been changed, five people might have died, but that would not have been murder, but an unavoidable accident.

Therefore, if Lu Li really faces this problem, the answer is the self-preservation party.

The premise is that the first five people are "strangers". If acquaintances, people you care about, and relatives are added, it will become complete torture.

The Utilitarian Party has a serious problem, which is that life cannot be compared, and Kiritsugu Emiya made this serious mistake.

If lives can be compared, a case once told by Teacher Zhang San is likely to become a reality.

That is, there are five people in the hospital waiting for transplants, one has a damaged heart, one has a damaged liver, one has a damaged lung, one has a damaged spleen, and one has a damaged kidney.

These five people are world-class talents and they will benefit the world in the future.

At this time, you who are healthy but have low IQ pass by, and the doctor suggests sacrificing you to benefit millions of people...

How to choose this question?

If it were Emiya Kiritsugu, he would most likely choose to sacrifice that person and create five world-class talents.

But this will lead to lives being compared, and the lives of the poor will no longer be lives. You and I are all people with insufficient IQ, and life will be monopolized by the upper class.

Keeping five and giving up one seems to be the most correct and most beneficial approach, but it is only the approach that best suits "current interests."

He must bear the responsibility for murder, the moral torture, and the responsibility for the future direction of the wind.

Once this idea becomes mainstream, it may lead to even more tragic and sinful consequences.

It’s different for the self-preservation party. Although they killed five people, it was an accident and it only tortured their conscience a little.

"Are you a self-protectionist?"

Vera asked, "By the way, what's the informal answer?"

"I am a self-protectionist." Lu Li nodded and said, "If I face this question in person, it's fine. But if someone asks me this question, I will tie the person who asks the question to the road and run him over first."

"Haha, is that really the case?" Vera laughed heartily, "How interesting."

"It's not fun to torture people about their morals." Lu Li shook his head and said, "I hate this kind of bad taste. As I said before, if someone comes to torture my conscience, I will make him lose his 'heart' first."

What Vera said was interesting was not that torturing other people's morals was interesting, but that she thought Lu Li was interesting.

But she also realized that Lu Li actually understood what she meant, but did not answer. Instead, he hinted that she should stop causing trouble in front of Lu Li.

I've reminded her, if she does it again next time, she might really experience the feeling of being tied up and run over by a carriage.

It was a pity, but she had never intended to continue torturing Lu Li. She was just a little unwilling to be counterattacked twice.

Forget it, just let it go.

Not to mention whether I can beat him, even if I win it will be meaningless.

"You can get the holy spring yourself."

Vera showed a gentle look and said, "But then again, Hephaestus would actually make an exception for you?"

"It's mainly because I'm too unconventional."

Lu Li looked at Vera and asked seriously, "Can I trust you?"

"can."

The light shining in Vera's eyes is the light of divinity.

God makes a promise that He will never break.

So if Vera says yes, then it is 'absolutely' credible.

"Then let me show you my secret."

Lu Li smiled softly and then extended his hand.

Vera grabbed Lu Li's hand, and suddenly her vision turned, and she appeared in an unfamiliar space.

"This...this is...how is it possible?!"

Vera was stunned.

She could feel the world around her changing, and it was obvious that she had moved from one dimension to another.

The essence of this space was not difficult to see through with her ability to see the big picture from the small details.

In particular, she felt that the rules that monitored their use of divine power were gone! !

"Is this a different world?"

Vera looked at Lu Li with an expression of disbelief in her eyes and said, "No, this is a man-made world. Could it be..."

"You guessed it. That's amazing." Lu Li chuckled and said, "As you can see, this world was created by me."

“I plan to place the holy spring in the center and use it as water for the temple, so that everyone who comes to this world can feel the vitality of life.”

"You're the awesome one, right?!" Vera's voice suddenly rose like a groundhog.

In the original novel, knowing Sanjono Haruhime's skills, she became confused.
