Chapter 358: Studying Professionally
What surprised Lei Luo, however, was that after the most difficult three or four months, he found that life was not so bad after all.
As soon as he appeared, the children who had been crying were not crying so hard.
Some children began to come to him and tell him who was doing the dirty work.
Although there were still people who wanted to target Lei Luo, it was not quite the same as before anymore.
More exaggeratedly, after half a year.
Lei Luo gradually no longer felt like he was enduring.
He began to completely accept his identity and everything around him.
Now, he was used to the jokes of those children who shed tears and had runny noses.
Crying children who came up to Lei Luo would end up laughing after a while.
And the snot-nosed ones would be embarrassed to wipe their snot away.
Whenever the children had any disputes, they would come to Lei Luo for help.
He had acquired a natural authority.
As for the oldest children, even the most stubborn ones did not provoke Lei Luo anymore.
They began to help Lei Luo manage the whole group of children, and they also took the initiative to do all kinds of physical work.
During their breaks, they would swim together under Lei Luo’s lead in the only lake in the manor.
At night, they would sing and dance around the bonfire, and during this process, Mellie still had not said a single word.
Everything was left to Lei Luo. He was practically free to do whatever he wanted.
Half a year later, Lei Luo finally began to gradually understand the meaning behind Miss Mellie’s request for him to do so.
“Before I received Miss Mellie’s authorization to manage Utopia Manor, all of my imaginations and observations of human nature in this world were inaccurate. Therefore, I had a feeling of contempt for everyone in this world. I also had a high opinion of myself. I believe that even though I’m young now, it won’t be long before I can easily obtain what I want. After all, the most outstanding human beings in the historical records only seem to be so-so. And all my conceit makes it easy for me to fall into all sorts of self-obsessed fantasies and deviate from reality. However, when I was unexpectedly arranged to manage the first manor in my life, my arrogant and ignorant pride was completely shattered. Instead, it was replaced by a more authentic and reliable confidence. I finally understood that in this world, there is something much greater than defeating an enemy, which is to gain friends. And through this, I also discovered the truly great power in myself. Those are tolerance, understanding, and sincerity. I think this is the original intention of Miss Mellie giving me the authority to manage this manor.”
One year later, when Lei Luo was called to the room by Mellie, Lei Luo had already completely integrated into his current life.
“Your first lesson has ended. From now on, I’ve arranged a new learning plan for you.”
As Mellie spoke, she threw a thin piece of paper in front of Lei Luo.
At a loss, Lei Luo simply picked up the paper.
There was a series of detailed learning plans on the paper.
“A year ago, you were very smart, but you lacked a little bit of humanity. Now, you’ve finally completed what you lacked. This is very good. However, that’s all there is to it. There can’t be any more. You’ll overcorrect yourself and become a woman of mercy. From now on, you will enter the second stage of learning. I have divided this stage of learning into seven parts. The first six will be taught by me and Habacark personally. The last one will require you to teach yourself. From now on, you will be completely separated from the work of managing the farm. You will have 15% of your time to rest every day. The remaining 50% will be used to learn from me, 20% will be used to learn from Habacca, and the final 15% will be used to teach yourself.”
Lei Luo nodded, but he did not say anything.
He knew that nothing he said would be of any use.
Mellie was only informing him, not asking for his opinion.
In this world, the knowledge base was extremely vast.
Anyone who idly spent their entire life would not be able to understand everything.
And the cruel reality was that anyone who wanted to find their place in this world would have to do their best to have an irreplaceable role in a certain position.
Therefore, many professions were divided to the extreme.
Mages were divided into various elemental magic.
Warriors were also divided into warriors who specialized in various weapons.
Even archers were divided because of the different use of bows and arrows.
All professions were divided very carefully.
Even those who were in the ruling position knew very little in other aspects besides what they knew.
Most of the world’s top military commanders are no different from civilians in other areas.
This is because those at the top of the world also compete with stronger people.
Just as they don’t excel in their own areas of expertise, they can be killed at any time.
Just as business and war require strategy, no one sees these two strategies as the same ability.
The reason is simple.
Whether you can survive in this world doesn’t matter how many talents you have.
It’s what your strongest talent is.
But under Mellie’s arrangement, Lei Luo did the opposite.
He had to know a little bit about everything.
And Mellie had created an environment for all the knowledge he needed.
He didn’t know where Mellie had collected so many books. They were all hidden in an underground library in a manor.
This library alone was no smaller than a manor.
And the knowledge contained in it could cover all fields.
If it was something Lei Luo wanted to study about, Mellie always found a way to give him the books related to that field he was interested in.
Lei Luo began to learn on his own. He was exposed to all kinds of knowledge, from technology, communication, etiquette, combat, and business.
When he reached a certain level of learning, Lei Luo became more and more aware of why Mellie wanted him to go against the mainstream of society and choose this method of learning.
Because even though the specialization of this world was limited to a narrow degree, it would still bring about high efficiency.
However, it would also bring about a very important flaw.
That was the loss of inspiration.
The best example was that anything could be created through magic.
Only works of art could not.
Mellie believed that no matter what talent one has, as long as one reached a certain level, it would become an art.
It didn’t matter if it was the military or business or something else.
Even mages and warriors could indulge in that field. Their battles would eventually become an art.
What supported the birth of artists was the elusive inspiration.
Mellie believed that any talent, when it reached a certain level, would become an art form.
