Chapter 1696 - 541: How Can You Do Good Research Following That Horde of Vermin?
Chapter 1696: Chapter 541: How Can You Do Good Research Following That Horde of Vermin?
This decision was the outcome of her absolutely rational thinking.
When Fan Mao proposed it just now, her immediate instinct was to oppose it outright.
But she was never the type to just act on impulse; once she calmed down and thought it through, she realized there was no reason to refuse.
If the issue of stance were excluded, and it was considered purely from a rational perspective.
What she wanted was to continue exploring and following the [Creator], to explore the truth of the world. In this regard, the conditions Fan Mao offered were simply perfect.
As the highest authority of a faction, Fan Mao had already proven his strength in research. From the viewpoint of a believer who knew only study, someone who surpassed her in knowledge was worth following.
And Fan Mao, who had surpassed her in her area of expertise, was precisely the type she admired.
Moreover, Fan Mao had also researched her Divine Arts, confirming that as a Transcendent of the Three Great Civilizations, he was not opposed to faith and Divine Arts but was even involved in it.
As for the research environment and resources, judging by Fan Mao’s demeanor and the occasional information she gathered, resources should not be lacking.
For her, these conditions were simply the dream [Creator] Church!
Looking at Bai Yi, she found him increasingly delightful.
On the contrary, the current Church was a bunch of "Favored" who knew nothing of research and only issued blind commands, with a superior who had abandoned the pursuit of truth and was indulging in power, while her research achievements were subjected to questioning...
If it weren’t for the war demand this time, her research would not receive any support and would have to be conducted in silence.
Other than providing sufficient research resources and an environment where exploring Divine Arts was permitted, how was this a place suitable for exploring truth?
Whether it was the research atmosphere, the knowledge level in Divine Arts, or the degree of support for research, all surpassed what the Church could provide.
How could a non-believer provide an environment more conducive to following faith than the Church itself?
Even this sole advantage was not lacking in Fan Mao’s conditions.
"Moreover, even without it, it does not matter; to follow Fan Mao, a predecessor on the path of knowledge, and to continue exploring the truth unfettered, a little hardship in conditions is not a problem.
The Lord was right, as long as there is a heart to explore truth, research and exploration are possible anywhere...
Following that group of insects, how can research go well!"
As for the most fundamental issue of stance, it now seemed unimportant.
Once she agreed to take refuge with Fan Mao, becoming one of his people and no longer a believer of the Church, the issue of stance would naturally disappear.
As for abandoning faith, it’s beyond discussion, although the Church is inherently representative of faith, is it truly that "Church" now...
The only issue was the Three Great Civilizations she mentioned earlier.
Once everything became clear, the original psychological barrier disappeared instantly.
Her gaze became much more determined, locking onto Fan Mao’s eyes, awaiting his solution.
But seeing this believer’s hopeful yet determined gaze, Bai Yi’s smile froze on his face.
Heaven bears witness, she had honestly just wanted to provoke slightly.
She had been pursuing the Church’s "Sequence Divine Envoy" for days but always missed them, and this time she finally encountered them only to discover the inventor of the "Sequence Divine Envoy."
Moreover, this inventor even wanted to use the Divine Arts, developed by imitating her, to defeat her.
Just in time, she too had been studying these "Sequence Divine Envoys" over the past few days, replicating some of their technology.
She decided to use the same method against him, letting this believer personally experience the feeling of being defeated by what was essentially a knock-off.
For a researcher, that was a significant blow.
Originally, she intended to strike while the iron was hot, and facing a researcher she had just defeated, Bai Yi instinctively extended the invitation.
If it were an ordinary researcher, being defeated in research and invited by the opponent out of charity, anyone would choke on it, regarding it as a provocation.
It would only lead to turning back and working harder, aiming to recover from the setback.
She would thus activate the believer’s enthusiasm for research, accelerating the progress on the "Sequence Divine Envoy," giving her an early opportunity to get hold of the complete technology.
Who would have thought she would encounter someone so absolutely rational, who actually accepted it.
But upon further reflection, wasn’t it a good thing?
Bai Yi’s thoughts paused, suddenly realizing this.
Due to the unexpected nature of this matter, she had subconsciously regarded it as a bad thing.
But in reality, all she wanted was the "Sequence Divine Envoy" technology, not necessarily to torment herself by having to research it from the wreckage personally.
If she could even enlist the inventor of the "Sequence Divine Envoy," not only would she get first-hand information, but she could also oversee the research progress actively.
Moreover, this believer, capable of researching such Divine Arts, was indeed a genius, with no issues expected in researching other areas...
Judging from the unlocked panel after such an extended battle, even excluding those faith-related talents, this believer certainly met her witch recruitment standards; bringing him back was definitely worthwhile.
This was essentially a win-win-win situation!
This believer must be won back!
In an instant, Bai Yi made her decision.
