Big environmental factors?
Hearing this brand new term, Tang Wulin seemed a little confused.
Xia Linyuan explained to her, "Driven by the general environment, under the influence or pressure of the group, most individuals will subconsciously give up their own opinions or go against their own views to keep their speech and behavior consistent with the group. This phenomenon is called 'herd mentality', which is what we usually call 'following the crowd' or 'going with the crowd'."
"When a person finds that his behavior and opinions are inconsistent with the group or disagrees with the majority of the group, he will feel a pressure, which will prompt him to adopt behavior consistent with the group. This is what we call 'herd behavior'."
"Whether it is herd mentality or herd behavior, so far only a small number of people can maintain their independence and not be herdded. Therefore, herd mentality and herd behavior are psychological phenomena common to some individuals."
"The emergence of most herd behavior and herd mentality is caused by people's lack of necessary information when they do not understand the situation and are unable to determine the situation they are currently in. They are not blind obedience."
"In fact, as long as you observe carefully in daily life, you will notice that herd mentality and herd behavior are common."
"Just like the former residents of the Three Kingdoms of the Douluo Continent, they all have a hostile attitude towards the Sun Moon Empire and want to get rid of it quickly. Even if a small number of people feel that it is not necessary, due to the general environment, they dare not express their true opinions at will. In order to obtain a special kind of psychological satisfaction, they will echo those remarks that are contrary to their own ideas, thus gaining a special psychological need from them."
"And in the past few months that I have been studying at Outer Court Soul Guidance Department, I have also seen that many of the younger generations of the Douluo Continent's original Three Kingdoms are just like you, dismissive of Soul Tool, and even think it is a crooked way."
"No one is born to hate something so much, let alone like the same thing at the same time. If you are the only one who hates it, it is normal, but twin brothers hate something at the same time, then it is most likely caused by the long-term living environment."
Although these words sound quite normal, if you think about it carefully, you will find that Xia Linyuan is forcibly kidnapping, and he is using words to forcefully guide Tang Wulin's thoughts towards the group.
After all, as the saying goes, if you don't understand it, it will cause trouble, but Xia Linyuan's words can be regarded as half true and half false.
The original Three Kingdoms of the Douluo Continent were basically influenced by generation after generation, so they felt disgusted with Soul Tool. Even if there are enlightened people who know that they should "learn from the foreigners and develop skills to conquer the foreigners", under the general environment, they basically dare not reveal the slightest idea that is contrary to the public.
Just like he was in Abyss...
They despise him for having a "heart", they reject him for not being a pure Abyss creation, they disdain to walk with him, an alien...
They often whisper in the darkness, unabashedly mocking the lost ones lingering on the edge of Abyss.
"The performance of you and Wang Dong, coupled with what you just said, 'In your impression, your family members rarely use Soul Tool', makes me have to suspect that the reason why you reject Soul Tool so much is because..."
Xia Linyuan pretended to say something but hesitated, as if he couldn't bear to say the next words.
Tang Wulin's mood suddenly hit rock bottom, and he said angrily, "I probably know."
Xia Linyuan comforted, "You don't have to be sad, this kind of situation is very common."
Tang Wulin shook his head, "I'm not sad for my family's stubbornness, I just feel that I have been abandoned by this era."
Hearing this, even Xia Linyuan, who was calm about everything, couldn't help but feel a little surprised at this moment.
Children can be taught.
This is his only comment on Tang Wulin at this time.
Xia Linyuan smiled slightly and said, "The times are indeed constantly changing, and things that are no longer needed are constantly being eliminated, but as long as we work hard to catch up, the times will definitely not abandon us."
Hearing Xia Linyuan's words, Tang Wulin's eyes gradually became firm, "That's right! As long as I abandon the prejudices in my heart and work hard to catch up, the times will never abandon me!"
"Linyuan." Tang Wulin's pink blue eyes seemed to ignite a raging fire, "I want to learn how to make Soul Tool, can you help me?"
Because his back was to the light, Tang Wulin didn't see it. The corners of Xia Linyuan's mouth raised slightly, outlining a strange arc, "I'm extremely happy."
On the side of Dormitory No. 108, Wang Dong looked at Imitation Light Goddess Butterfly on the table with an extremely troubled expression.
"Wang Dong, are you okay?"
The sharp-eyed Huo Yuhao also discovered at the first time that when Xia Linyuan gave his gift, the situation of the twins Wang Dong and Tang Wulin suddenly became something wrong, and there was entanglement in the rejection.
"I-I'm fine."
Unlike Tang Wulin who calmly asked for help from Xia Linyuan, Wang Dong subconsciously chose to avoid the problem.
Huo Yuhao hesitated for a while and asked cautiously, "Don't you like the gift Linyuan gave you?"
Wang Dong's body visibly stiffened, and after struggling for a while, she still did not choose to seek help from Huo Yuhao, "No, I like it very much."
Yes, like her sister Tang Wulin, she really liked this unique gift given to her by Xia Linyuan, but she just didn't know why, when she heard that the gift was Soul Tool, she suddenly felt extremely disgusted with this gift.
There seemed to be another consciousness in her mind that was rejecting Soul Tool. This feeling made her feel a little weird and uncomfortable, but she just couldn't resist that feeling.
Likes and dislikes were like two fighting villains, constantly debating in her ears, making her feel extremely irritable.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao was embarrassed to ask more questions, so he could only try to comfort him, "If you feel something is wrong, you can come to me, I will be a good listener."
Wang Dong nodded with a heavy face.
Looking at the lying Wang Dong, Huo Yuhao sighed secretly.
A few days later.
Xia Linyuan pointed to the forging table in front of him and a series of forging tools, and said, "Learning to forge is an important foundation for making Soul Tool, and it is also the root of Soul Engineer. Only by laying a solid foundation can you become an excellent Soul Engineer."
Although she said that, Xia Linyuan had no intention of teaching Tang Wulin to make Soul Tool. It does not mean that she does not have this talent, but that her talent should be placed in the right place, for example...
Forge!
