#729 - Chapter 729: Love and Non-aggression
"Who's up there?" Nata asked.
"Headquarters, haven't you even heard of that?" the old man retorted.
"What's with the attitude? Looking for a beating?" Mongka lightly kicked him.
"Ouch! I-I'm sorry!" the old man hurriedly apologized.
Nata didn't pay any attention to them, already lost in confusion.
He didn't understand. He wasn't trying to harm anyone, but others were trying to harm him. How could he solve this?
Did he have to take action and eliminate those who wanted to hurt him?
If he did that, what difference would there be between him and those bad guys?
But if he didn't, these bad guys would harm even more people.
Humans have no intention of harming tigers, but tigers have the heart to harm humans.
"Draw a map," Nata ordered.
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll draw it right away." The old man stood up, found paper and pen, and drew a very crude map.
However, by asking questions, Nata roughly understood the location of the Mercenary Guild.
"Sis, let's go," Nata said, having memorized the route and throwing the paper on the table.
"What about him?"
"Just knock him out."
"Alright." Mongka didn't say much more.
The cruelty of reality could only be truly understood through personal experience.
This was the purpose of Dongfang Chen sending him out.
Not long after the two of them left, a group of Monee people surrounded them.
They returned to the destroyed elevator shaft and climbed up the tracks to the uppermost living area.
The elevator exit was already crowded with people.
The two of them stubbornly squeezed through.
These ordinary people had limited attack power and couldn't do much to them.
After spending two hours, they finally arrived near the Mercenary Guild.
However, the situation here had changed.
Those ordinary Monee people no longer chased after them, as if avoiding something.
Nata looked at the two people standing quietly not far away, and a sense of crisis washed over him.
They were very likely cultivators.
"Whoosh~"
Without a word, the two of them took the initiative to attack.
One attacked each of them.
"Bang~"
"Bang~"
Nata and Mongka lacked combat experience and were directly blown away.
However, their bodies were still very strong and were not damaged.
Moreover, the energy density of Zhen Crystal was many orders of magnitude higher than that of crystal cores, so these cultivators without battle armor were not completely unmanageable for them.
"Are you okay?" Nata asked, getting up.
"Take care of yourself!" Mongka said, and rushed out directly.
She wanted to fight back.
"Ya~"
Mongka threw a punch, colliding with the cultivator's fist.
"Bang~"
After the fierce impact, Mongka was blasted away by the airflow.
At the same time, the cultivator also slid backwards for more than ten meters before stabilizing his body using the reaction force.
This impact left a deep impression on Nata.
At this moment, it was as if something had shattered in his heart. A feeling of enlightenment swept through his body.
Dongfang Chen keenly captured this point and immediately observed the data changes in the intelligent brain.
Currently, the northern lateral method brain was extremely active, and the amount of data in the neural link was increasing rapidly at a visible rate.
Dongfang Chen also understood something at this moment.
The intellectual growth of super artificial intelligence has many similarities with the growth of humans.
Intellectual growth is often not a linear, steady increase, but rather has a process similar to enlightenment.
Before enlightenment, many neural links are chaotic, disordered, and may even face being cleared.
But under some external stimulus, after suddenly becoming enlightened, these chaotic neural links will reconnect in an incredible form and speed, and demonstrate powerful creativity.
At this moment, Dongfang Chen confirmed that this was the super intelligence he needed.
Mongka being blown away had a very big impact on Nata.
On the one hand, his sister being hit aroused his strong desire to protect her.
On the other hand, Mongka's firm fighting will and indomitable fighting spirit deeply infected him.
At this moment, he found his first combat goal for himself, which was to protect the people he cared about.
At this moment, he was revising his outlook on life and values by independently improving the strategy set of the method brain.
It must be said that the advancement of the intelligent brain was fully reflected at this moment.
He only summarized an idea similar to the ancient Mohist school's advocacy through observing Mongka's battle: universal love and non-aggression.
And through the Confucian theory he had mastered, he quickly constructed and improved this idea.
This process is like Newton observing an apple falling to the ground and being inspired to create the law of universal gravitation.
The method brain uses known theories to form a self-consistent new theory through recombination and innovation, which is the essence of invention and creation.
This process seems long, but it actually only takes a moment.
In just a few breaths, Nata's "universal love and non-aggression"-style new theory took shape.
He summarized it in one sentence: Do not actively initiate disputes, but do not fear disputes. When oneself and the people one cares about are harmed, one should fight bravely.
