07072-Caring service

The furball pad patted the ground.

Spots immediately changed his words: "We have found a good boss. We don't need to please humans, we don't need to be pets, we just need to be good younger brothers for the boss, and we can eat and drink well."

Mao Qiu nodded: "You guys are still too weak as little brothers. Although you are mortal beasts, under my teaching, you should at least have the strength to 'choose any neighborhood and immediately dominate the wild cats in the whole district'. Fight But spirit beasts, I don’t force you, but it’s unreasonable to eat so much food that is worth more than you and can’t beat mortal beasts, cats and dogs, right?”

Rhubarb: "Boss Fuqiu, which neighborhood are you going to dominate?"

Maoqiu: "Isn't this going to open a cat chain store? All the neighborhoods near the store are our territory. We must manage the territory well and provide my people with a comfortable business environment. Which cat dares to kill my people?" You have to let it regret it.”

Maoqiu: "Time is tight, and I don't ask you to single-handedly win. You can fight in circles. I will teach you a few formations that are easier to learn. You must learn them well before opening the business. If you can't learn it again, you will fight, and if you continue to learn, you will be expelled from this space."

Pei Kong: "... What is the relationship between conquering wild cats and selling cat supplies? Cat supply chain stores include wild cats among their customers? Isn't this store just killing humans? They sell things that humans want for cats, not cats. Something you want to use, right?"

I relayed the ambition of cats to the big brother, and the big brother replied to me: "If cat chain stores want to advertise, cats are the most suitable. You can hire a group of cat employees in each store to demonstrate the correct use of various products to humans. , you can also sell a cat language translator."

Me: "The mortal world already has a cat language translator."

Big brother: "But those translators rarely translate large sentences."

Me: "In addition to the problem of the translator, there is also the problem of cats. Many cats are too lazy to talk to humans. It is good to be able to translate short sentences with one or two meows at a time, but cannot make up long sentences. But if the owner is particularly verbose Yes, cats can chatter too."

In an era when people are generally affluent, sales of pet products are good and profits are high, and some merchants try to provide caring services as much as possible in order to make money.

Ordinary mortals can't understand pet language?It doesn't matter, monk beast masters specialize in this, and then everyone will cooperate.The animal master produces the translation, and the mortal merchant produces the product assembly line, and the money earned is shared proportionally by both parties.The cost of popular pet translators is allocated low, and the price of each one can be relatively cheap; while the niche pet translators are almost customized, and the expensive ones are special.

07073-Know yourself first

Objectively speaking, the pet language translated by the mass-produced mortal world pet translator is indeed much simpler than the pet language that the beast master can understand directly.Basically, it only translates a broad category of meanings, with a serious lack of details.

For example, it is possible to translate 'I want to eat fish tomorrow', but it is basically impossible to translate it into 'I want to eat a fish sold by Uncle Wang's shop on the next street when I finish basking in the sun tomorrow and my hair is warm all over my body.You have to buy fresh ones, not half-dead ones for cheap.After buying it, remove the scales and steam it without adding seasoning.I start steaming at noon, and after steaming, I hang it on the balcony, so that when I finish basking in the sun, the temperature of the fish will be almost just right.'

In fact, there is a detailed version in the translation provided by the beast master, but this kind of detailed version needs to be supplemented by spiritual power to understand it properly.Why do humans need spiritual power to understand the language of mortal beasts and cats in detail?Because it's interracial.

Not to mention the distance between cat language and human language, even if it is a different branch of human language, the dialect of A and the dialect of B, when the people of A understand the people of B, because they do not fully understand the customs and history of B , Emotional accumulation, so even if you learn Yidi, you can only understand the superficial meaning.If you want to understand deeply and understand why a place name makes people in B suddenly cry, then you usually need to live in B for a long time to let your emotions converge with the people in B, that is, to find some people who are in B. local feeling.

In this process of translation, Lingli skips the explicit language and directly substitutes itself into the other party's feelings. "I feel that this place name reminds you of a difficult but united time. I know that your tears are not all sad, but also excited about the miracle that people can create when they work together." If there is no understanding of the meaning of words, there will be basically no understanding deviations or omissions.

This kind of translation technique itself should be regarded as a low difficulty in the cultivation world, and it can be done during the Qi training period.If there are some mistakes in interpreting other people's emotions during the Qi training period, it is often not a problem with the interpretation technique, but because there is too little experience in this Qi training period, even if you read the feelings, you don't understand what the feelings are.

For example, a person who has been successful since he was a child and has no setbacks at all can’t understand what it means to say “I want to but I can only give up, and I feel uncomfortable after giving up but I still force myself to smile beautifully”. This is understood as teasing.

If the basis for understanding the language used in explicit communication is to remember the meaning of words, word meanings, sentence structures, punctuation marks, etc., then the basis for understanding other people's feelings is that you have had the same or at least the same kind of feelings.

07074 - Incomplete Artifact

There is no dictionary to memorize feelings. In other words, even if you memorize someone else's answer, you still can't understand it as long as you haven't experienced it yourself.What is distraught, what is a glimmer of hope, what is indifference, what is weeping with joy.It is of course okay to directly explain the meaning of words to fool outsiders, but when you use spiritual power to interpret other people's feelings for yourself, if you don't understand it, you don't understand it. It is often difficult and worthless to deceive yourself.

It is precisely because emotional understanding is so subtle and requires a sense of substitution, so even if spiritual translation can be achieved during the Qi training period, it is difficult to refine a translation instrument with the same function, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to measure. Produce.Therefore, the translation levels of the popular pet translators in the mortal world are very simple, and they can only do large-scale translations. It is guaranteed that anger will not be translated into elation. You can also distinguish between extreme anger, very angry, general anger, a little anger, and fake anger. , is a good product.

If I want to sell a translator that is better than the ordinary ones in the mortal world, and the price is not too high, then I still need to start with the magic circle.Put in more emotional category modules, refine the cat language vocabulary, adapt to the accent and environment of different cats, and so on.

In essence, this is the same as the general-purpose translator. It is still not that the translator empathizes with the cat, but compares the sound and emotion of the cat with the pre-stored categories in the translator, and then finds the closest similar , and finally said this kind of thing as what the cat wanted to express at the moment.

I can do better than ordinary mortal-level pet translators only because I have more and more detailed pre-stored categories, and the comparison and classification are faster and more accurate.

Reluctantly speaking, these utensils I made should all be classified as magic tools, even if ordinary people can only consider charging when using them, but when I made them, a spiritual power cycle was built in the utensils.The spirit beads are used as the energy-supplying battery for the spirit power, and at the same time, it is equipped with a magic circle that absorbs spirit energy from the environment and stores them in the spirit beads.In other words, these spirit beads provide energy for the operation of the magic weapon, and absorb energy from the environment at the same time, achieving a balance of internal spiritual power.

The magic circle that absorbs spiritual energy from the environment and fills the spirit beads needs to be driven by electric energy. This technology has been widely used in the production of spirit beads in the mortal world. Other magic circles are nested together to further optimize the utilization rate of electric energy, and to ensure that the lifespan of the magic weapon is close to the life of a mortal as far as possible without sufficient spiritual nourishment.

If it is a magic weapon with a complete meaning, then it should have its own attributes that use the spiritual power to drive the function of the magic weapon to nourish itself, but my batch of cat supplies strictly restricts the flow path of the spiritual power of the beads, so the nourishment attribute is eliminated. Substantially weakened, that is, almost no self-healing ability.It can be said that the service life of the product is exchanged for the reduction of the cost and the threshold of use.

Therefore, even if spirit beads are used in it and spiritual power circulation is involved, the instrument repair may not recognize their magic weapon attributes, but mortals probably will not recognize that they belong to mortal level.Classification is a bit embarrassing, but fortunately, I am just going to sell things, not to rate.

07075-Cost Algorithms

I curiously asked Qi Zong Ping Youping what she thinks about this kind of utensils that are not too big or small, and Ping Youping replied: "Can I participate in making that serving robot?"

Me: "Do you think it's a puppet?"

Ping Youping: "It can't last forever, the internal circulation is too restrictive, and there is no possibility of developing self-awareness. I don't think it can be regarded as a puppet, at least it is definitely not the kind of puppet I want. But it has something similar to a puppet. There seems to be no connection, of course, the refining of any utensil can be said to have a deep or shallow relationship with the refining of puppets, anyway, it is quite interesting. Can I participate?"

Me: "You can participate. But because this is a product that will be sold, you must follow certain procedures and meet certain standards, and you cannot play casually. Customers who bought my product may not like certain functions of the product, or I think some functions are flashy, but I hope they can recognize that things are worth the price. Regardless of whether they are based on function, appearance or promotional fees, anyway, I hope they will feel that they have been taken advantage of and not cheated after buying my things. By."

Ping Youping: "It seems that being taken advantage of has the meaning of being cheated?"

Me: "If you can't understand the meaning of my words, maybe you are not suitable to be my assistant."

Ping Youping: "Oh... then I'll figure it out for a few more days. I hope I can figure it out before you officially open the store."

Me: "Don't worry, I haven't even started choosing a store location yet."

Ping Youping: "If you are not picky about the location of the store, and you don't mind the cost of buying the store, you can choose it on the opening day. You don't need to stick to the process of decoration and delivery to each store. The things you make and make belong to For yourself, others can only see and touch it, and cannot take it away or damage it, which is equivalent to keeping the cost of making this part of things in your own hands, without really spending it, that is, there is no cost.”

Me: "Your algorithm suits my taste."

Ping Youping: "Yes, I also think this algorithm is very good. Make the materials in your own hands into products in your own hands, let others look at the products or borrow them a little bit, and although the other party does not directly pay the borrowing fee when borrowing , but will give me more money when buying my other products, this is a no-cost transaction.”
