Of course, Arthur's answer made the audience freeze again.
They were speechless because the answer made so much sense. Do not want to be used by others? Then you just have to be so useless that there isn't even the slightest benefit to be gained from using you.
Harry who asked the question cleared his throat, slightly embarrassed.
Basically, Arthur replied that there was no way at all.
Isla who was the moderator of the event was silent for a long time and when her finger moved to tap the microphone in her hand, she smiled slightly.
"Everything you say adds to my insight," she said. "Maybe this is very difficult to implement, but maybe it can be done in the next generation. I believe this world will be a better place when everyone can make the most of at least themselves, live without depending on others."
After saying that, she looked up at Cale. "What do you think?" she asked him.
The man had unfortunately lost the will to talk about the things he wanted to talk about before and he didn't know how to give Arthur's opinion either. Suddenly, he felt like he had discovered something new, something he had a very hard time understanding with his current brain power.
"It seems we will end this discussion here," said Isla seeing the young man was silent.
Arthur smiled. Without saying anything else, he stepped off the stage, leaving Cale who still looked frozen.
He received many stares, the young ones were amazed by his thoughts. They feel enlightened about how the world works. Even the teachers started contemplating, thinking about things that might cause them to only work here while they are among those who excel in education. That is, many are not as smart as they are but become officials in the ministry of education.
As Arthur arrived in front of Carla and Bella, the two girls looked like they wanted to stand up but ended up canceling it because the boy had already sat down first.
"Arthur!" Bella called Arthur's name. "Where did you learn about that?" She asked.
However, right after she asked that, she rolled her eyes, remembering that he wasn't even an ordinary human.
As for Carla, it looked like she was imagining Arthur's life in another world. Maybe such a concept wasn't something some people wouldn't think of, but of course, they didn't think about it when they were Arthur's age.
"Do you know, the live stream was commented on by many people," Bella said, changing the topic.
Hearing that, Arthur glanced at the cell phone in the girl's hand.
In this all-online era, this kind of event is naturally broadcast live on the internet. It is often a spectacle for alumni, most of whom are currently working.
While nothing has really gone viral so far, things are different if there are too many comments.
Arthur read their comments.
(I'm sick of being a corporate slave, my skills are amazing, but I dare not stop working because I'm not sure about my future. Damn, I guess I'm a victim of the current world system. My brain is designed to serve capitalists.)
(Agreed! I also have the same problem, I'm an expert in international trade, a master's degree from Oxford, but I don't even dare to trade myself, I can only help companies trade!)
(Who is the mastermind behind all this, is it the global elite? To hell with them!)

"Fuck, I'm also the victim," said an Asian woman while hitting her table.
This is Lin, Amanda's assistant.
When she was young, she traveled to Europe to study in hopes of returning to China and starting a business. With the knowledge she has in finance and management, it shouldn't be difficult. But then, she finds she can only work for other people.
She had actually been feeling uncomfortable about this for a while, but she didn't take it too seriously.
Unfortunately, Arthur's video made her reconsider.
"What made you angry?" Asked Kaiya who had just arrived with a tray in her hand.
"Look at this," Lin answered while showing Kaiya her laptop screen.
Both of them have similar dreams, they just have different places of origin. Lin was sure that Kaiya would feel the same way after seeing Arthur's video.
When the black woman saw that it was Arthur who had appeared in the video, she couldn't help but be shocked.
"This is a school discussion, right?" She said in a low voice.
She continued to watch, listening to what was being said.
It didn't take long before she frowned at the word slave spoken by Arthur. For her, it was more sensitive because of her ancestral background.
Over time, her expression became more and more strange. When the video finally reached the end, she looked at Lin and shook her head.
"Knowing and being able to do it are two different things. I was taught this way from the start. Trying to change that now would be very difficult." She said with a sigh, looking like she'd rather be realistic.
A mentality that has been formed for a long time is not something that can be changed easily. And with their age it's hard to do new things because they can't take the risks, there are too many people they need to feed.
Kaiya herself has several younger siblings who are still at school. At this time, she could afford to send them to a good school. However, if her income stops, they may have to stop attending that school, which is also bad for them mentally if they have to transfer to a worse school.
Hearing Kaiya's words, Lin opened her mouth but no words came out. In the end, she also shook her head.
"Well, I don't have to worry too much about that, however, I'm not an ordinary exploited worker," she said as she closed the video.
"However, I think the boss needs to take a look," she added.
She was a little worried that the video would spread among the employees and they started making some complaints.
While this was a good company and employees were treated fairly well, she couldn't argue that there was some exploitation here as well.
The complaint that they lived only to enrich Amanda was always there. If it gets big, there might be some problems.
