Janna's Chosen (Seeking Recommendations~)

This is actually quite similar to selling insurance.

First, sell insurance to acquaintances and fellow villagers.

Once enough people buy insurance and enough funds are accumulated, you can return to your hometown of Zaun to start a business.

And this insurance doesn't even require customers to invest money, only to believe.

Li Wei doesn't need these students to charge into battle, shedding blood and losing their heads. He only needs them to help with promotion and outreach.

He and Janna are enough for the real bloodshed.

"I... I understand."

"I'll go back today and share the Janna ideology you taught us with the tenants in our apartment building!"

"Those who rent there are Zaunites like us, and they will definitely be interested in your theories!"

One student had already stood up from his seat incoherently, seemingly wanting to go out and fight immediately, to work hard for this great cause.

However, Li Wei stopped him with a smile: "This classmate, please sit back down. We still have something to resolve."

The ultimate goal and short-term goals have been determined, the feasibility analysis has passed, and the direction of work has been decided.

What else is there?

"Of course, there is." Li Wei looked at these future scientists and used an analogy: "Even when doing a research project, you need overall planning, division of labor, and cooperation. You must first establish a project team."

"So, before starting work..."

"We must have organization and discipline."

"This..." The students quickly reacted:

Yes, what they were about to do was a world-shaking event.

Even Vander knew to form a gang to organize people before taking action against the rulers of Piltover.

They were going to do great things, so how could they not have an organization?

But how should this organization be formed?

"Who should be chosen to manage this organization?"

"And how should they be chosen?"

Everyone present, especially Viktor, who was older and more experienced, gradually became serious.

Although he was a scholar of science and engineering, he could also see that:

This was a question of how to select and employ people.

To put it bluntly, it was a question of how to distribute power.

This question was very important.

Demacia allocated power based on noble bloodlines, Noxus used a meritocratic system based on military achievements, Ionia allocated power based on clan status, and Piltover answered this question with a merchant council...

Which of these methods was suitable for the future of Zaun?

Even the exceptionally intelligent Viktor couldn't figure out this question for a moment.

"Because this question also has no standard answer." Li Wei answered as everyone was confused.

"I ask you—"

"Do you think Piltover's merchant council is good?"

Good, of course, it's good.

This was the students' first reaction.

Piltover was so civilized and progressive, how could their method not be good?

Many of them had actually fantasized that if they could sweep away the Chem-Barons ruling Zaun in one fell swoop and then imitate Piltover by building a merchant-led council in Zaun, Zaun could become as civilized and prosperous as Piltover.

"But I have to tell you—"

"When the Twin Cities first split, there were actually no Chem-Barons in Zaun."

"Zaun itself was Piltover's 'twin', its 'copy'. All the systems were copied from across the canal. More than 200 years ago, we also had a merchant council and community self-governance at the beginning."

"But why did this council disappear as it met, why did the proper merchants run away, and why did the power of Zaun ultimately fall into the hands of those gang leaders, those Chem-Barons?"

Li Wei's words awakened the students.

And he told them that not only was this the case in Zaun more than 200 years ago, but even now, on the continents of Shurima and Valoran, there were many countries with systems similar to Piltover.

But none of these countries were as prosperous and wealthy as Piltover. Not only were they not wealthy, but they were also poorer and more chaotic than each other.

And every now and then, a large number of people would die due to colonial invasions, warlord civil wars, racial conflicts, and so on.

"But most people can only see Piltover's success and not the failures of those poor and weak countries."

"And few people will think about why the same method simply doesn't work, can't be implemented, and completely malfunctions in other places."

"Blindly worshiping a method in this way, regarding it as the key to solving all problems, is actually taking a seemingly correct extreme, just like the theory of productive forces."

"So—"

"We can't blindly learn from others now. We have to choose the method that suits us best."

Li Wei's words were approved by everyone.

But what is the most suitable method for Runeterra, the most suitable method for Zaun?

Can Li Wei provide such a method?

If it were before, he really couldn't.

But now, in this world where transcendent power exists, he can barely come up with an answer.

This answer has no practical significance. It's an answer that can only work in Runeterra.

And Li Wei's answer is: "God-chosen—"

"First, Janna screens out the members who are qualified to join, and then the members internally elect our managers."

"Huh?" The students were dumbfounded:

What the heck is God-chosen?

Isn't that the primitive method used by the three-god believers of Freljord and the sea monster cult of Bilgewater thousands of years ago?

"Wait..." Some students noticed Li Wei's words that followed: "First, Janna screens out 'qualified' members. Teacher Li Wei, what kind of people are considered qualified?"

"People who are qualified to join must, of course, be true believers of Janna."

"They must cherish the ideal of Great Harmony, be willing to fight for the ideal for the rest of their lives... always put the masses first, serve the masses wholeheartedly, step forward in times of difficulty, take the benefits last, and be willing to sacrifice everything for our struggle, including life!"

Li Wei looked solemn, as if reciting an oath.

Some students couldn't understand: "Teacher Li Wei, you... what you're saying is practically a saint, a pure idealist."

"That's right! What I want are pure idealists!"

"But how can there be so many pure people in the world?"

"There are, there are many, even among you—"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Azure Finch on Li Wei's shoulder slowly flapped its wings.

Then, in the next instant, Lina, Viktor, Seraphine... everyone present saw a strange scene:

They saw strands of faint white "thin lines" extending from the bodies of some people among them.

These thin lines rose into the air, united as one, and converged into the Azure Finch's body like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.

"Lines" were drawn from both Lina and Viktor.

Seraphine didn't have any yet.

"This... this is..."

"This is your 'Faith', and this bird is the embodiment of Janna's will." Li Wei saved Janna some face and called this useless bird her avatar.

"And as everyone can see—"

"Janna can 'see' Faith."

Those white lines were thick and thin, bright and dim.

The thickness represents the strength of Faith, which can also be regarded as the strength of the believer's mental power.

The brightness of the "lines" represents the degree of their faith.

Yes.

In this world where supernatural power exists, Li Wei is now like playing a strategy game. He can see the "loyalty of generals."

Who is an idealist and who is not is clear at a glance.

This is his biggest cheat.

And even if Li Wei dies, Janna will never die.

This eternally pure and selfless goddess will forever guide humanity forward.

"This is what I found—"

"The most suitable method for Runeterra!"
