Chapter 133 The Most Beautiful Flower
Whether they wanted to or not, everyone walked down the hillside and followed a path that was only half a meter wide in the middle of the green grass.
The censor stood beside the long table, seemingly kindly reminding them: "When you make up your mind, please be decisive, because when the sun sets in the west, those beautiful flowers will fall asleep."
Everyone quickened their pace.
——The most beautiful flowers must be picked when they are in full bloom.
This game doesn't seem difficult at the moment. It's just picking flowers. Anyone with normal aesthetics can distinguish between beautiful and ugly. It should be easy to pick a beautiful flower.
However, it is such a seemingly easy game, but it has an elimination rate of nearly 50%.
Out of 18 people, only 10 will be left.
“In the story of Socrates, the ending is that no one picks an apple that satisfies them.”
Shen Mo pushed Bai Youwei's wheelchair and walked steadily among the grass, his voice as calm as his steps.
"Some students encountered a good apple and wanted to find a better one, so they continued to move forward. As a result, when they reached the end of the orchard, they realized that the apple they saw for the first time was the best. Some students picked it early. They bought what they thought was the best apple, only to find a better one along the way, and felt regretful. They asked Socrates to make another choice, and Socrates told them that life is a choice that cannot be turned back."
They walked into the woods. The dense branches and leaves blocked the sunlight, and the vision suddenly darkened, while the fragrance of flowers gradually became stronger in the air.
Shen Mo asked Bai Youwei: "What do you think it means when it mentions Socrates?"
"What's the intention..." Bai Youwei held her chin and thought for a while, "There are actually many versions of this little story. There are those who choose apples, those who choose wheat ears, and those who choose trees. In the final analysis, they teach people to be cautious when choosing. However, I don’t think the inspector would be so kind as to give us a philosophy lesson.”
"Yeah." Shen Mo nodded lightly, "Maybe he wants to mislead us. After all, the way to choose apples is completely different from the way to choose flowers."
Choose a big and good apple, the criteria are very clear.
But to choose the most beautiful flower, the word "beautiful" itself is subjective.
Bai Youwei recalled the appearance of the inspector with blond hair, blue eyes and long arms and legs, and felt uncomfortable all over, "That guy must have terrible aesthetics."
Shen Mo: "...Okay, now is not the time to talk about this."
…
The group of people walked in the woods for about a quarter of an hour, and suddenly the front opened up, and the fragrance of flowers hit their faces.
It is a vast valley.
A long depression is naturally formed between the two mountains. A straight path leads into the depths with no end in sight, and both sides are covered with flowers of all colors!
Regardless of season, region, or type of habit, they all bloom in this valley!
——Whether it is the snowdrops in extremely cold areas or the cactus growing in the tropics; whether it is the magnolia blooming on the tree or the water lily growing in the water; whether it is the spring in March or the osmanthus in August! They're all here! There is no scientific reason at all!
Everyone was shocked by the spectacle in front of them.
The endless sea of flowers as far as the eye could see shocked everyone!
"These... so many flowers..." Wu Lili looked at it blankly. There happened to be a violet beside her, and she couldn't help but stretched out her hand, "Are these flowers real..."
"You can only choose once!" Zhang Qi frowned and reminded her.
Wu Lili paused, turned around and smiled, "I know, I just want to touch it, I can't believe these are real flowers..."
Zhang Qi was still worried about her pretending to break her leg, so he ignored her with a cold face and continued walking forward.
Everyone walked slowly, worried about missing the most beautiful flowers.
As they walked, they discussed:
"There are so many flowers... I have to choose the 10 most beautiful flowers. How do I choose..."
