Chapter 226 [0224] Big Muscles Mean Big Wisdom

Even if there are doubts in the heart, life still goes on.

The next day, Caitlin still came to the laboratory early - although the joint cooperation experiment in Piltover needs to be suspended for a while and the laboratory needs to be repaired, Caitlin still has to keep an eye on it.

However, unlike her previous energetic appearance, Caitlin, who was confused, was somewhat numb.

In the past, she could think that her job was to pursue the truth and punish evil and promote good, but after being "educated" by her mother, she finally had to admit that it seemed that the position of law enforcement officer was not what she had longed for and thought since its birth.

Losing faith, plus not having a good rest last night, Caitlin looked very ugly today, both in terms of complexion and mental state.

In contrast to Caitlin, Wei in Zaun was in high spirits.

Because the laboratory in Piltover temporarily stopped working, a lot of information was transferred to the Zaun laboratory, so Wei brought people to the periphery of the Piltover laboratory early to wait.

Although the people of Piltover looked at her unfriendly, Vi was very proud with her head held high - on her chest, a large medal was shining in the sun.

This was the [Level 3 Contribution Medal] awarded to her by Zaun for her heroic performance in yesterday's explosion.

In fact, just when the Piltover Evening News yesterday blamed Zaun, the Zaun Evening News also quickly published the news of the Piltover explosion.

Although the criminals were taken back to Piltover, Vi's experience alone was enough to explain many problems.

The Zaun Evening News reported the whole incident objectively with Vi's interview as the main content, and put forward the speculation that "the explosion was led by Noxians".

As the person in charge of the joint cooperation experimental project Zaun regional security, after discovering the explosion, Vi asked the Zaun law enforcement officers to be more vigilant, acted quickly, and took the initiative to provide support. On the basis of ensuring her job, she demonstrated Zaun's humanistic care and professionalism - therefore, she received this medal.

The third-level medal is not too rare in Zaun, but for Wei, it is obviously an honor worth boasting about.

Moreover, considering that this is a medal obtained "for helping Lady Piltover", she naturally has a reason to wear it to work.

(She even had to be deducted from her salary for violating the dress code...)

Unfortunately, the people of Piltover don't seem to be very "knowledgeable". They didn't express much to Wei who was showing off her medal subconsciously with her chest and belly puffed out.

Only Caitlyn's expression changed slightly when she looked at her, and there was a hint of curiosity in her numbness.

"Ahem cough--"

Finding that someone noticed her medal, Wei quickly cleared her throat, raised her head slightly, and erected her neck, while looking around, "as if unconsciously" doing chest expansion exercises.

"Wei." After hesitating for a moment, Caitlin finally approached her and whispered, "What does this world look like?"

"This medal--" Wei, who had prepared a long list of introductions, just started to speak, and realized that Caitlin's question seemed a little wrong, "Ahem, what did you say?"

"I said, what should this world look like?" Caitlin repeated her words in a low voice, "Is it black and white, or a touch of exquisite gray?"

"Exquisite gray?" Wei looked at Caitlin as if she was looking at a fool, "What's so exquisite about gray?"

"...That's not what I meant." Caitlin was stunned for a moment, and then She realized that her statement seemed a bit complicated to Wei, "I mean, is this world black and white, or neither black nor white?"

"Colorful?" Wei thought about it and gave an answer that made Caitlin hold her forehead, "How can it be black and white? Zaun is so red, there are deep red and light red!"

This kind of irrelevant conversation made Caitlin a little tired. She shook her head helplessly, then smiled bitterly at herself. She was also confused, so she ran over to ask Wei...

Wei herself may be black and white, but that may be because she doesn't even know what gray is?

"You're so weird today." Looking at Caitlyn's state and expression, Wei couldn't help shaking her head, "Why, the Piltover Council didn't reward you? Were you pushed to the bottom?"

"No." Caitlyn shook her head, "It has nothing to do with rewards or punishments, I just found something... different from what I thought."

"Different from what you thought?" Wei looked at Caitlyn, who had the tendency of a riddle man, and after thinking for a moment, she showed a sympathetic expression, "Ha, I understand this, it's just that you found that the world is not what you thought, so you feel very sad, right?"

Although she envied Wei's openness and ease deep in her heart, Caitlyn, who was sympathized with, still felt an unusual irritability.

"It's not as simple as you say!"

"It's almost like that!" Wei spread her hands and opened and closed her new gloves. "When I was a kid, I always had some self-righteous fantasies. I thought some things were cool, but unfortunately, they were a bit stupid in the eyes of others..."

Objectively speaking, this sentence was Wei's heartfelt words, and even involved some of her personal black history, but to Caitlin, this kind of words seemed to simply classify the impact of her worldview as "children's fantasy."

Caitlin, who was already a little sensitive because of her bad mood, finally couldn't help it this time.

"Not everyone's world can be classified as simply as yours!" She raised her tone, "I'm so confused that I would ask you this question!"

"My world cannot be simply classified." Wei was not angry because of Caitlin's words. "If you just suddenly discover that the world is bigger, broader, and more complicated than you thought... then it at most proves that you grown up."

"What the hell." Caitlin, who has always been civilized, couldn't help but swear, "I'm not here to talk about growing up with you. I want to know if there is anything right or wrong in this world!"

"Of course." This time, Wei answered without hesitation, "Do you even need to ask?"

"But, there is no right or wrong in some things!" Caitlin looked down at Vi, her eyes widening, "Not everything is black and white!"

"Maybe." Wei was startled, took a step back slightly, and then shrugged helplessly, "So, you want to say that there is no black and white, only gray mixed with black and white?"

"..."

Caitlin didn't speak, just nodded silently.

"But, there is always black and white?" Wei blinked, "Is it white... to kill, set fire, and cause pain without any scruples?"

"But those are only a few." Caitlin calmed down a little and said tiredly, "Except for a few black and white, the rest are endless gray."

"Then let's make the range of black and white as wide as possible." Wei used an understatement and said something that stunned Caitlin, "And, according to you, this world should at least go from pitch black to light black, and then to Dark grey, light grey, milky white, white?”

"..."

"Even if it's really just gray...you can look over there!" As if to prove his statement, Wei pointed at the Zaun Administration Building in the distance, "That building was also gray at first, and painted with red paint. It’s not very uniform, but at least it’s all red, whether it’s deep red, light red, bright red or pink.”

Kalya’s Little Classroom·Zuan’s Medal:

Zu An's medal is currently at four levels - the names are very simple, namely special level, first level, second level, and third level.

However, the Zaun people were still very thoughtful in the design of the medal.

The special-level medal is the Star Dome, the first-level medal is a miniature version of the currently known map of Runeterra, the second-level medal is a miniature version of the Shurima continent, and the third-level medal is a miniature version of the city of Zaun.
