Chapter 30: Do you have study groups?
As soon as Levi appeared on the campus of Piltover University, he attracted a lot of attention.
His shabby work clothes, which only Zaun apprentices would wear, were out of tune with the elegant environment here. And this poor boy in plain clothes was holding the hand of an elegant and beautiful pink-haired lady.
Such a wonderful combination with huge differences in painting styles naturally attracted a lot of criticism from passers-by.
But Seraphine completely ignored the noise.
She just held Levi's hand tightly, blending with his soul through her skin, and immersed herself in the dream world of endless beautiful music that Levi created for her:
“Ohhhhhhhhhhh…”
"Screwdriver screwdriver~"
"Thump, thump, thump! thump, thump, thump!"
“… …”
Levi's music library is unfathomable and varied, ranging from classical to rock to rap, as well as many new musical styles unheard of on Runeterra.
There’s even a song that’s said to be from some girl group called KDA… It sounds so fitting for her, it’s almost like she was singing it herself.
Seraphine felt like she had unearthed an inexhaustible treasure trove of music. She couldn't get enough of the music she was listening to, as if she had to hold his hand and listen to it for a lifetime before she would be satisfied.
However, when the two were about to reach the vicinity of the Hextech Institute, Seraphine suddenly stopped.
"Do you want to change the song?" Li Wei asked subconsciously like a smart speaker: "Do you want to replay the previous song, or do you want me to recommend a new one based on the style?"
“No…” Seraphine looked over with concern: “Mr. Levi…”
"You seem nervous."
"Me?" Levi was slightly stunned:
Yes, he was nervous. He didn't even realize it.
Because that was just an instinctive emotion left over from the original owner's memory—
The last time Levi came here for something, when he came to Hextech College to look for his sister, it left him and his sister Lina with a very unpleasant memory.
Why is it not beautiful? It is easy to understand.
No little girl would want a sloppy, ragged, poor brother to appear in front of her and her rich classmates with such a pitiful appearance of a typical Zaun apprentice.
After that incident, Lina ignored him for several days, and only apologized after she grew mature.
And Levi never came to the school to visit his sister again.
"That's all in the past."
"You don't have to worry about me, Seraphine."
"Hmm..." Seraphine hesitated to speak.
"Do you want to continue listening to the song?"
"No." The little music fanatic actually shook his head: "I won't listen to it for now."
"Mr. Levi, I want to talk about what you mentioned before... the method that can really help you and the people of Zaun."
Seraphine suddenly asked very seriously.
Obviously, the deep impression left by the previous experience was not forgotten because of her obsession with music.
"Well..." Levi was a little embarrassed.
Although he taught Seraphine to understand the real world, this only pulled her slightly out of the greenhouse where it was spring all year round.
If you want to know how to change the world, this understanding alone is not enough.
"What do you think we should do now?"
"Well... since my music can't help you, then... I'll go back and persuade my father... to give everyone in Zaun more salary and reduce the workload. This way, Mr. Levi, you and them won't have to work so hard in the future."
Sure enough, it was a kind and innocent answer.
It can help a few people, and it can help for a while, but it can't change anything.
And her father would definitely not agree to this plan. Even if he did agree, the improvement would not be that big, because the market rules are here, whether he likes it or not.
"So what should we do?"
"Uh..." Levi didn't know where to start teaching.
Seraphine has too many lessons to learn.
Because she couldn't go out since she was a child due to her uncontrolled talent, she was unable to receive a systematic and complete education in literature and history.
Although her parents hired many tutors for her, due to their infinite love for their daughter, they only focused on cultivating Seraphine's beloved musical talent.
In other words…
Seraphine is now a pure art student with zero social cognition (this is made up for by reading minds and "experiencing life"), zero foundation in literature and history, no political training, and serious subject bias.
How can we teach such an art student who is only partial to one subject to understand politics?
Should she be listed first?
"Well, let's start from the beginning!" Levi thought for a moment and said, "I'll first give you some basic knowledge about the history of Runeland."
"But before that, let us briefly introduce a concept, that is productivity..."
"Productivity! Productivity is the key to resolving all contradictions!" Such an impassioned voice suddenly came from the teaching building next door.
"Huh?" Levi was slightly stunned.
This is not him talking.
What’s going on…Who is discussing the concept he just wrote about in an article yesterday?
Curious, he followed the sound and found a large classroom on the first floor filled with students. The students sat in groups of three or four, holding handouts in their hands, discussing with each other with red faces. Standing on the podium was a thin but bright-eyed middle-aged teacher. On the blackboard behind the teacher, part of the content of Levi's article was written, as well as the title:
"Zuan, where did it come from?"
"Lina?!" Levi didn't even have time to be shocked before he suddenly realized that he didn't have to wander around the college looking for his sister anymore.
Her sister was standing among those students.
He was standing quite tall, looking excited, and was speaking Zaun dialect to the person he was discussing with. He was extremely conspicuous.
And what these students were discussing was actually his article.
Even the discussion goes deeper and further.
In that article, Levi only mentioned how to understand the world, but did not mention how to change the world.
But these students have skipped the what and why and are now discussing how to do it!
"Fuck!"
What happened?
I just soldered the circuit boards in the factory for one night, and you guys even set up a study group on Jannahism?
"It should be related to your sister and the teacher." Janna poked her head out of his pocket and looked at the podium thoughtfully: "He is the only believer we are looking for now."
"This..." Levi still couldn't figure out how all this happened.
However, no matter what the process was, the result seemed...
It seems that the ideas he wanted to promote have already been promoted.
Levi was very excited looking at the group of young students in front of him who had already started thinking and enthusiastically discussing their future.
He couldn't help but want to hear what answers these college students, who had received higher education and had much more experience than Seraphine, would give:
“Productivity is the key to solving all contradictions!”
"As future scientists, our mission is to create new things and develop productivity! So we don't have to do anything, we just need to work harder to complete our own work and devote ourselves to scientific and technological research and development!"
"As long as we can invent smarter steam robots to completely replace human labor, invent more powerful hex energy to completely replace the old energy, and invent more... then all problems can be solved!"
Levi: “…”
Before he could say anything, another student's voice reached his ears:
"Legend has it that Bandle City, where the Yodel people live, is located in the spiritual realm, where the sun shines brightly, spring and water flow endlessly, every plant will bear abundant fruits, food, energy and daily necessities will grow naturally and endlessly, and the residents will always be happy and joyful without struggle..."
"I think we can ask the Yodels for the magic of traveling between the material and spiritual realms, and then use Hextech to restore this magic. Eventually, we can transform all humans into psychic creatures similar to the Yodels, who can live in the spiritual realm and do not need to consume material resources."
Levi: “…”
Before he could say anything, another student loudly suggested:
"It is becoming increasingly popular in Zaun and Piltover to use alchemical or hextech prosthetics to replace human organs... I think we can go further on this path and try to find a way to use hextech and alchemical technology to completely transform humans into robots."
"As long as everyone becomes a robot, there will be no need to eat or wear clothes, no need to put on makeup or compete with others, no need to reproduce, and no need for family."
“Without a family, there would be no offspring. Without offspring, there would naturally be no accumulation of family wealth from generation to generation… The inherent inequality between people would naturally disappear!”
Levi: “…”
"Seraphini?"
"Huh?" Seraphine looked over stupidly.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called you naive."
"I am too superficial..."
