Chapter 298: A Discussion on Long-lived and Short-lived Species[Ode to the Daylight]: What's going on?[Lemon Tree Lemon Fruit]: Is there still a risk of the wandering merchant being hunted down?[Wishing you prosperity]: Please DM me @落花雨花香弥Pei Hening naturally grabbed Chu Xuange's hair and played with it. After finding no useful messages in the public chat channel, she switched to the school channel.[Princess Doris]: @Winifred, I have news about what you asked me about last time.[Prince Ivan]: You guys actually have shady dealings? @Princess Doris @Winifred[Find me just to learn English]: What news? What news? You two are so mysterious.[As helpless as a dog]: A kitten eavesdropping.jpg[Tomorrow's Little Fish]: @Dog-like Helplessness, where did you get this kitten emoji pack? I'm hooked.[Barbara]: What a regional joke. @TomorrowLittleFish[Winifred]: My teacher said that Chang Zhuo recently appeared in the section where @PrinceDoris is, so I asked her to inquire about it.[DibiDibi]: Who is Chang Zhuo? @Winifred[A Poisonous Mushroom]: Geology enthusiast and mining expert @dibidibi[Winifred]: Yes, my teacher said that Chang Zhuo has the minerals I need and asked me to contact him.[In good mental condition]: Go and contact Chang Zhuo? Are you planning to transfer to another region?[Winifred]: That's the idea.[Barbara]: @You're in good spirits, are you alright?[Elisa]: What's going on today? Why haven't I seen [Falcon] and the others?[HXWHKL]: They have indeed been appearing very infrequently these past few days.[Tatsuko Makino]: Why are you so concerned about them? @HXWHKL[Princess Doris]: Have you forgotten that he wanted to join the China division? @Makino Tatsuko[HXWHKL]: You really got lucky, kid. @Megsiri[A Poisonous Mushroom]: They are very busy with the monthly summary and the planning for the next map.[Vina]: Has anyone figured out the rules for merging servers? My server is going to be merged into another server, and the server ID won't be kept.[Fire the Boss]: I don't know. My section was merged from another section, so I can't make a guide for now.[In good spirits]: What could possibly be wrong with me? @Barbara[As helpless as a dog]: Kitten tilting its head.jpg"A new person has appeared in the school chat channel, named Chang Zhuo. Has Lu En mentioned this person to you?"Pei Hening turned her head to look at Chu Xuange's fluffy head.He looked up, noticed Pei Hening's serious expression, leaned over and kissed her before saying, "No, but I know who [Winifred]'s teacher is."Pei Hening touched her cheek where she had been kissed and asked in confusion, "Who was it?""Wen Ci"."Never heard of it, is it famous?"Chu Xuange nodded, holding her hand: "He's quite famous. He designed and built the second knowledge tower in the main city of Wanderers."Pei Hening blinked and tentatively asked, "Then he must be quite old, right?"Chu Xuange took out nail clippers and trimmed her rather long nails, saying, "On the contrary, he is only a little over a hundred years old this year. The second knowledge tower in the wandering main city was his work when he was seventy years old."Pei Hening was shocked. "Does that mean the second Knowledge Tower was only built a little over thirty years ago?""Yes, Wen Ci is a genius."Seeing that he had finished clipping his nails, Pei Hening placed her other hand in his palm: "This is no ordinary genius. He's only a little over a hundred years old. The difference in lifespan will bring about completely different results.""Take long-lived and short-lived species for example. Long-lived species have hundreds or even thousands of years to refine their magic and fighting skills, bringing these skills to a level that short-lived species can hardly reach. Furthermore, in terms of the accumulation of resources and wealth, long-lived species can accumulate a large amount of wealth through compound interest, long-term investment, and generational inheritance. The assets created by short-lived species in their entire lives are probably not even a fraction of those of long-lived species.""The advantage of short-lived species is probably the frequent generational changes in society, which gives them an advantage in terms of social vitality and technological innovation, but they are also prone to generational gaps and repeated mistakes."Pei Hening looked at Chu Xuange's neatly trimmed and polished nails and added, "Like Blue Star, there's a widely circulated saying—'There are no powerful countries in the tropics.' One reason is that it's hot and humid all year round, mosquitoes breed endlessly, and various infectious diseases run rampant. In modern times, the average life expectancy was less than thirty-five."Seeing her interest, Chu Xuange took the initiative to join the discussion: "This is a test that nature has given to humans at different latitudes, only the content of the test is different. There are tests in the tropics and there are tests in the temperate zones."They had countless similar discussions, but rarely argued.They are both willing to humbly learn about and understand each other's interests, and are willing to offer each other different perspectives. They both maintain a strong curiosity about each other, accepting not only the present but also anticipating and being interested in future growth and changes.Love has always been an equal, growth-oriented relationship that helps both parties become better versions of themselves.——March 6, 8675 (Road Calendar), 69 days of survival on the road, 29 days on the Blizzard map, one day countdown to the end of the Blizzard map.Pei Hening's life did not change because of the merger of districts. She got up as usual, washed up, ate breakfast, and went to observe the branch that Xiaoya and the red-bellied bird had given her when they first came to the clinic in [Please Don't Die!].She watered the buds with nutrient solution and gently removed the soil under the branches."Has it grown roots?"Chu Xuange carried an empty flowerpot to her side and filled it with soil."It's grown too long, will it be able to adapt if we transplant it now?"Chu Xuange took over the work from her hands: "It's okay, baby, I'll do it. You pick some vegetables and take them downstairs. There aren't many vegetables left in the refrigerator."By the time Pei Hening finished picking the vegetables, Chu Xuange had already transplanted them."Let's go, let's go down first."——Zhao Tiantian chewed on her bubble gum, lazily glancing at the gray family car blocking her way.Seeing that Zhao Tiantian didn't get out of the car, the gray family car honked its horn repeatedly, rolled down the window, threw out a small megaphone with a rope attached, and then hurriedly closed the window.The little megaphone started running, and broken Chinese came through."Everyone in the car, get off! You're surrounded!""Hand over all your supplies and I'll spare your life! Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!""My patience is limited, so don't test it. Hand over the supplies while I'm in a good mood, or don't blame me for being impolite."The little white cat on Zhao Tiantian's wrist was disturbed. It looked up and crawled into her sleeve.She casually blew bubbles, released the handbrake, and decisively stepped on the gas!
