Maya replied, "That’s because you’re not interested. Think about what you did when you got the Silencer, then think about what you’re doing to Wai."
"Ha!" How annoying, what did I do to Wai? Didn’t I just use it as a blanket, pillow, and mosquito repellent...
Maya looked at Lin Wu, "But there’s one thing I don’t understand. Why do you like bolt-action rifles but dislike cannons?"
Lin Wu answered, "Fussing around for half a minute just for one shot. Whether it’s aiming, adjusting, or moving the shells, none of it is fun. Bolt-action rifles are different. Aside from the outcome, the mechanical rhythm of the process is very stress-relieving. Most importantly, it’s not tiring."
Maya nodded, understanding that laziness explained the root of human progress and also cleared up her own question.
