Chapter 16 - 016 The Fox Borrows the Tiger’s Ferocity
There is an art to collecting emotions.
Provoking people can be done indiscriminately, as long as you can beat them or aren’t afraid of getting beaten up.
But you can’t just go around serving toxic chicken soup to anyone; not everyone reacts to it the same way.
Serving chicken soup to a server might inspire hope in his life, even if only temporarily.
Offer the same chicken soup to the Shopkeeper, however, and he might just assume you’re trying to dodge your rent payment...
A Copper Coin given to a server will make his day.
On the other hand, hand the same coin to a beggar on the street, and he’ll take it as a matter of course. Even the smile he offers in return and the flattering words he murmurs will carry no genuine emotion, only a cheap, hypocritical professionalism...
Therefore, even when collecting emotions, you must select your target carefully to avoid wasting effort.
Keep summarizing. Keep learning.
This is Lin Bai’s secret to success.
