"Even with a quantum computer, it still requires some time for calculations. It’s impossible to just take a glance and draw a conclusion."
"If this is true and not just a trick, what exactly is the principle behind it?"
Lawrence Winters: "..."
Whoa! Is this guy actually trying to use science to explain metaphysics?!
Looking at the other person’s deep contemplation, Lawrence suddenly felt an inexplicable guilt. She tried to maintain her posture and said calmly, "Actually, you don’t have to think too much about it. It’s all about probability. Yeah, probability. I’m not always that accurate. Take my uncle, for instance, his accuracy in feng shui has always been stable at fifty percent."
"Yeah!" He suddenly raised his head, laughed, and gave her a thumbs up, "An accuracy of fifty percent is already amazing! If you tell everyone you meet that they’ll have bloodshed, and it comes true for half of them, you’re already a remarkable prophet!"
Lawrence sighed in relief and smiled, "I wouldn’t dare call myself a prophet, but indeed, our school does have many things passed down from The Three Pure Ones. Please forgive me for not being able to disclose everything."
Ian quickly nodded, "Oh, no problem. I understand. In science, this is called Empirical Research, which translates to observational research, but I prefer to call it ’Hereditary Knowledge Accumulation.’"
"It’s about summarizing and inducting numerous observed cases and facts to draw certain conclusions, which are then used to guide similar events under similar circumstances."
Lawrence Winters: "..."
Suddenly, the work that my uncle and I do seems so high and mighty!
Lawrence felt genuinely happy from the bottom of her heart.
After traveling around with her uncle to study feng shui for so many years, even if she had gained a little fame, she knew that their social status in this trade was actually not high at all.
Many people looked down on them. For example, Kenneth Osborne, it wasn’t that he despised them; he just didn’t believe in them at all.
Lawrence realized this early on and got used to not minding, but it was merely a "habit"; in reality, she did care.
Because even she sometimes felt guilty and lacked any "professional pride" in this line of work.
Ian Lothrop was probably the first person who described their trade using scientific language without prejudice.
It felt like the Heavenly Master’s trade was just a job like accountant, doctor, or teacher.
Every profession is equal, with no distinction of high or low dignity.
This point had been clearly demonstrated by Ian’s attitude.
Lawrence was usually very guarded with strangers, but Ian seemed to have some magic power, making her feel like she could say anything to him without being ridiculed or becoming the subject of gossip.
Out of excitement and relaxation, Lawrence couldn’t help but say again, "Actually, if you really have to trace where ’inspiration’ comes from, I think it can be understood from the perspective of the human magnetic field."
Ian suddenly widened his eyes, "Human magnetic field?! Please, do tell, how did you think of the human magnetic field?!"
"It’s what my uncle said. He said everyone has their own human magnetic field, although it’s very weak and requires special instruments to detect. But everyone’s constitution is different."
"For example, some people are allergic to peanuts, some are allergic to paint. Some people feel carsick from the smell of gasoline, but some really like the smell of gasoline, which is a difference in constitution."
"So, similarly, some people have a strong sensitivity to human magnetic fields and can sense things that general people can’t. My uncle said I have a talent in this area."
"The first time I saw you today, I felt your magnetic field was very different from ours, which is why the inspiration came to me."
Lawrence tilted her head and added, "Actually, I’ve never been so accurate with others. Just the first time I saw you, I felt your ’magnetic field’ was quite special."
Ian was struck, "You really feel that way?! That’s amazing!"
Of course, his human magnetic field was different because it was the "reverse" of the people in this world!
Ian screamed internally: Whoa! It’s more powerful than his magnetic resonance instrument! Could this young lady be a natural ’magnetic conductor’?!
But he didn’t show it, merely smiled and said, "Interesting! So interesting!"
As he spoke, he also took out his business card and handed it to Lawrence, saying, "This is my phone number. Save it in your phone. Let’s keep in touch. If you have an emergency and need to reach me, you can call this number or add me on WeChat."
Lawrence blushed a little when she saw his business card.
Ian’s business card was very simple, just a small white paper with a phone number printed on it.
In contrast, hers and her uncle’s business card looked like the flashy ones from a hair salon in the urban-rural fringe areas, labeled Tony or Jenny.
Ian noticed her embarrassment but didn’t intend to comfort her. He stood up and said, "I have something else to do, so I won’t stay for dinner with you today."
Lawrence quickly stood up and said, "Are you really not going to eat a little before you go?"
"No need. I was just passing through. Originally, I didn’t plan to come here." Ian said with a smile, "But today, I met a young friend, so it’s been a worthwhile visit."
He nodded at her, opened the door of the booth, and walked out.
In the corridor outside, Francis Johnson and Kenneth Osborne were smoking and chatting.
Seeing Ian come out, Francis immediately went up to him and said, "I’ve called a car for you. I’ll see you off."
Ian walked briskly outside, and after getting into the car at the door, he suddenly leaned out and whispered, "...Is this young lady also your observation subject?"
