“Who knows… Anyway, it was like this when I arrived.” Kent shrugged.
Mark also looked dumbfounded. It seems being a local, he had long been used to the existence of gangs and had never considered this issue.
Fars shook his head slightly and clicked his tongue:
“Make you study well, but you just don’t. Now you don’t know, do you? This part has been mentioned in the books.”
Fars waggled his fingers as he boasted:
“We Alchemists value One Qi, Two Directions, Three States, and Four Elements.
“One Qi represents the Qi of nature, meaning all alchemy materials, alchemy runes, and alchemy formulas can ultimately be traced back to nature.
“Two Directions refer to the movements of ascent and descent. Approaching chaos is rising, and returning to order is falling.”
“Three States represent the ascending state, stable state, and descending state, symbolizing the state of things.
“Four Elements is self-explanatory, nothing more than fire, wind, earth, and water – the four basic elements.”
“Your security company corresponds to the descending state of returning to order, while gangs represent the ascending state pursuing chaos. If both of you are considered as a whole, your antagonistic relationship would be the stable state.”
“Of course, the sages in the Alchemy Cathedral know that gangs are not a good thing. But you see, they value these principles. They believe that the coexistence of the three states is the most perfect state.”
“That’s why there’s a situation where you guys and the gangs are opposed to each other, and neither can really do anything about the other. Think about it, every time things get really bad between you, isn’t it the Alchemy Cathedral that sends people to mediate?”
Kent sneered at the boastful Fars:
“Where are you showing off again? What’s the use of all this dry theory? In the end, you still need me to help you out.”
Mark on the side, clutching his head with furrowed brows, looked like he was trying to grow a brain:
“Ah… it’s so complicated. It seems I’m not cut out for studying. I might as well try my luck in the ruins of the ancient dynasty. Boss, please take me with you next time you enter the ruins.”
Noland Lee glanced around at the other team members, and they all looked as if they were listening to a heavenly book, gazing blankly at Fars…
As expected, the Federation’s high literacy rate doesn’t mean that ordinary people have a high level of scholarship.
Locals in the Federation may be able to read and write, but understanding the profound alchemy theories is not as fun as pulling a trigger or fighting with others.
Fars pretended not to hear Kent’s mockery, shook his head, and said with self-indulgence:
“Say what you want about me, Kent. Anywvay, after the Spray Powder Day ends this time, don’t expect me to come out of the lab. Even if you beg me to help you identify things, I won’t bother.”
“Then don’t expect me to help you fight next time…”
“Help or don’t help-
