Chapter 52 The Underachiever Bear
Electrolux pondered for a moment, and then said, "Think in sections."
"Divided thinking?" The Red King's three heads repeated simultaneously, filled with doubt.
“Exactly,” Electrox explained. “The root of your problem lies in the entanglement between ‘consciousness’ and ‘vessel’.”
Three brains mean three independent thought processes; forcibly unifying them will naturally lead to conflict.
Why not do the opposite? Acknowledge this independence and proactively 'divide' and specialize it.
He further explained: "For example, in calm times, you can try to have a clear division of labor."
One head is specifically responsible for monitoring energy fluctuations in the surrounding environment;
One head is focused on analyzing massive amounts of information in odors;
The other head can conduct in-depth tactical simulations.
This is not a separation, but rather an efficient "parallel processing" of the overall tasks of perception and thinking.
"And when joint decisions are needed," Electrolux continued, "you need to establish a 'core consensus.' Just like an army needs a supreme commander."
When disagreements arise, the outcome is not decided by arguments, but by this "core consensus"—perhaps the will to protect the Star Dou Great Forest, or perhaps the duty to protect Di Qiu—as the basis for the final judgment.
Disputes should be transformed into rapid debates based on "core consensus," and once the "commander" gives an order, all individuals must execute it unconditionally.
Electrolux looked at the Red King, who seemed to understand something, and smiled, "This requires long-term practice, starting with simple tasks and gradually building tacit understanding."
This is not only a way to resolve internal strife, but it may also become a unique talent advantage for your clan.
When the three minds can each perform their respective functions while remaining united under the supreme will, your power and wisdom will far surpass that of ordinary soul beasts.
For the first time, the three heads of the Red King did not immediately refute each other, but instead fell into simultaneous contemplation.
The head in the middle slowly opened its mouth, its tone filled with unprecedented solemnity and hope:
"I understand... Thank you for your guidance!"
This method of "diversified thinking" and "core consensus" may truly solve the problem that has plagued our people for thousands of years.
I must return immediately and work with my people to explore and put these methods into practice!
Watching the Crimson King leave in a hurry with his new ideas, Huo Yutong felt even more admiration for Elder Yi.
Not long after the Red King left, a heavy tremor came from the ground.
Then came the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear King—Bear Lord, whose enormous, mountain-like figure loomed over.
Unlike his usual domineering and fierce demeanor, Xiong Jun now appeared somewhat... dejected.
He carefully held a small jar carved from a thick tree trunk in his huge bear paws and handed it to Huo Yutong, saying in a muffled voice, "Little girl, this is for you, it's sweet."
An extremely rich and intoxicating honey aroma wafted from the jar; it was the rare honey from the Queen Bee, a ten-thousand-year-old monster bee.
Huo Yutong quickly thanked her and accepted the gift.
Xiong Jun then turned to Electrolux, his large, round eyes revealing a mixture of frustration and anticipation typical of a struggling student:
"Electra, you human mages have so many ideas. Old Bear, let me ask you, is there any spell that can directly stuff knowledge into your brain?"
For example, that... multiplication table!
He gestured with a bear paw, his tone filled with grief and indignation: "Yesterday, I, Old Bear, was reciting 'seven times seven equals forty-nine,' but I managed to recite 'seven times seven equals forty-seven.' That bastard Di Tian was so angry that he used his dragon claw to whip me like a spinning top, a full forty-nine times! My brains were almost completely scrambled!"
Huo Yutong couldn't help but chuckle, and quickly lowered her head to hide her laughter.
Tianmeng in the Sea of Spirit was laughing so hard she was rolling around everywhere. Bingdi couldn't help but burst into laughter as well. Crescent Moon gripped her snout tightly with her claws to prevent herself from making a sound.
Electrolux seemed to flicker with emotion, replying with a slightly helpless smile:
"Lord Xiong, there are tricks and shortcuts, but the transmission of knowledge relies on the process of understanding and thinking."
Forcing something into your mouth is like shoving food into your mouth; you can't taste its true flavor, let alone transform it into real power.
"Think? I, Old Bear, have torn apart countless powerful enemies with my claws. Do I need to think about those damn numbers?"
Xiong Jun grumbled in dissatisfaction, but seeing Electrolux's calm gaze, he scratched his massive bear head in frustration.
"...Fine, then tell me, how should one 'think'?"
Electrolux patiently explained: "Thinking begins with observation and connection."
You don't need to rush to memorize "one times seven equals seven, two times seven equals fourteen." Just wait and see…
His illusory figure pointed around, "In this territory you guard, there are seven ancient trees on one side and seven on the other. Looking around, how many are there in total?"
Following the direction, Xiong Jun counted, "One, two... seven on each side, both sides... um, seven plus seven..."
Bear King, clumsily calculating with his enormous paws, exclaimed, "It's fourteen!"
"That's right, this is '274'."
Electrolux praised, "And look at the royal jelly you brought. If one jar weighs seven pounds, how many pounds would three jars weigh?"
"Seven plus seven plus seven... that's twenty-one jin!" Xiong Jun's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped some trick.
"It is exactly 'three times seven equals twenty-one'. You see, this multiplication is not something made up out of thin air; it exists in every aspect of your life."
When you connect numbers with familiar things and understand what they represent, memorization is no longer a chore, but a series of interesting discoveries.
Xiong Jun was stunned. He had never imagined that those numbers that gave him a headache could be connected with the trees he protected and the honey he loved.
For the first time, instead of trying to memorize by brute force, he began to try to "understand" the patterns.
He squatted on the ground, his massive frame resembling a student eager for knowledge, muttering to himself:
"Seven trees on one side is seven, so two sides make two sevens, which is fourteen... One jar of honey weighs seven catties, so three jars make three sevens, which is twenty-one... And what about four sevens? Isn't that right...?"
He began to use the combat grouping method he was most familiar with as an analogy, and although it was slow, he truly began to deduce the logic.
Huo Yutong watched this scene in astonishment. This ferocious beast, who was known for its strength, was now immersed in the wonder of numbers.
Electrolux smiled without saying a word; he knew he had opened a door called "thinking" for this giant bear.
The world behind the door will be far more expansive than mere brute force.
Xiong Jun did not immediately grasp it completely, but when he left, he was no longer as irritable and frustrated as when he arrived, but rather with an unprecedented focused expression, as if he were immersed in thought.
He may not have memorized the entire multiplication table yet, but he has already begun to learn how to "think" about problems.
