After getting permission, Qinglang immediately went to fetch the shells, while Lin Wu leaned close to Maya's ear and said, "See, I'm actually quite mature."
Maya replied, "That's because you're not interested. Think about what you did when you got the Silencer, then think about what you're doing to Wai."
"Ha!" How annoying, what did I do to Wai? Didn't I just use it as a blanket, pillow, and mosquito repellent...
Maya looked at Lin Wu, "But there's one thing I don't understand. Why do you like bolt-action rifles but dislike cannons?"
Lin Wu answered, "Fussing around for half a minute just for one shot. Whether it's aiming, adjusting, or moving the shells, none of it is fun. Bolt-action rifles are different. Aside from the outcome, the mechanical rhythm of the process is very stress-relieving. Most importantly, it's not tiring."
Maya nodded, understanding that laziness explained the root of human progress and also cleared up her own question.
