My super cowardly system

Chapter 113 If You Don't Try, How Do You Know?
"Master, why are you so nice to me?"

Putting on the new shoes He Xiaofan handed him, Li Xiaofeng rarely asked He Xiaofan a question.

He Xiaofan said expressionlessly: "Don't think too much about it, I'm purely here to let you play on the field without affecting your strength, not just for you. You know, your lady said that this This time I will be responsible for leading the team, and if your Li family wins the championship, the 100 million prize money will belong to me."

"So, I do all this for myself. So do you. Give me a good performance in the competition, try to eliminate a few more people, and create a better space for your young lady to win the championship. Do you understand?"

"Hey." Li Xiaofeng smirked twice, then nodded: "Understood, master."

The two walked on the road, silent all the way.

Just when they were about to reach the meeting point, Li Xiaofeng suddenly stopped in his tracks and asked a very strange question.

"Master, tell me, can hard work make up for the talent gap?"

He Xiaofan froze for a moment, then stopped in his tracks.

Li Xiaofeng suddenly looked up at the sky, as if he had returned to more than ten years ago, he said slowly:
"In the Li Mansion, or the entire martial arts family, those who want to practice martial arts must have a martial arts talent. Those with good talent can easily pass the assessment of the Li Mansion and become an inner disciple. Those with better talent can even You don’t even need to take an exam, just break the rules and enter the Li Mansion directly.”

"But it's a pity that I didn't have that thing since I was a child. As a child picked up by the master, I don't expect him to treat me as his own son, so I have been working hard to become an inner disciple and worship The master is a teacher, I want to hear the master call me a disciple."

"But it's a pity that because my martial arts talent is too poor, I can't even pass the assessment."

He Xiaofan listened silently at the side, looking at Li Xiaofeng now, he was a little strange and yet a little familiar.

"Many senior brothers and sisters in the sect said, Li Xiaofeng, as for your talent in martial arts, why don't you give up? You work so hard, but in the end it has little effect. It's better to give up martial arts and follow literature. Maybe you have talent in that area?"

"I also doubted myself at the time, whether I was really not suitable for this path, whether my talent was too poor and I should give up martial arts and pursue literature, and whether hard work really could not make up for the talent gap."

He Xiaofan looked at him and asked, "So, have you come to a conclusion now?"

Li Xiaofeng shook his head: "Until now, I am still confused."

Looking at his obviously slender but callused hands, Li Xiaofeng asked again: "So, I want to ask Master, what do you think about this problem?
Can hard work really not make up for the gap in talent? "

hard work and talent.

This is a question that people have been discussing since ancient times.

A great man once said that success is one percent talent and 90.00% nine percent sweat.

But is this really the case?
He Xiaofan thinks not.

In other words, he thinks this sentence is not complete enough.

The saying that success is one percent of talent plus 90.00 percent of sweat can only be applied to those who can only show one percent of their talent.

And for those who have 50.00% talent, or even 90.00% nine talent, maybe success only needs one percent effort plus 90.00% nine talent.

Moreover, the success of these people may be even better than those who put in 90.00% of their efforts.

Just like when he was in high school, He Xiaofan would stay up late every day to study the questions. The number of math papers he finished was many times that of his sister. He finally got his wish and got a high score of 120 in the college entrance examination.

However, my sister only spent less than half an hour a day reading books and doing questions, but she got full marks in the college entrance examination mathematics.

Did He Xiaofan succeed?
It was indeed a success.

He used 90.00% of his hard work and 120% of his talent in exchange for the final [-] points.

However, my sister only used 150% of her efforts, but in the end she got [-] points that were even better than He Xiaofan.

Can hard work really make up for the talent gap?
To be honest, no one has come into contact with this issue earlier than He Xiaofan, and no one can feel more clearly than He Xiaofan, the insurmountable gap in front of talent no matter what.

Hard work cannot make up for the gap in talent.

Although this answer is cruel, the reality is like this.

"master?"

He Xiaofan came back to his senses, seeing Li Xiaofeng's expectant expression, he gave a wry smile and turned around.

"I don't know if hard work can make up for the gap in talent."

Li Xiaofeng's eyes drooped slightly.

"But..." He took a deep breath and said calmly: "How can you know if you can't do it without trying? Are you so willing to give up?"

Li Xiaofeng: "..."

"Okay, I'll ask again. Hurry up and leave. If you are late later, it will be your fault." He Xiaofan urged as he walked.

Li Xiaofeng stared blankly at He Xiaofan's back, suddenly smiled, and ran after him.

"Come on!"

The venue of the Martial Dao Conference is a martial arts competition hall selected from the Qin family of the three great families.

Among the martial arts families in Su City, the top three families are Li Family, Qin Family and Zhao Family.

Among them, the Li family has the strongest comprehensive strength, and the Li family boxing is famous for being fast, accurate, and ruthless. Even if they are in the same realm, the Li family's disciples can increase their winning rate by a large amount just by relying on the Li family boxing. .

Moreover, the Li family alone has two small grandmasters, so for a hundred years, the Li family's position in this area of ​​Su City has never been shaken.

Compared with the Li family and the Zhao family, the Qin family's comprehensive strength ranks at the bottom of the three major families, but even so, the Qin family ranks ahead of the Zhao family, ranking second.

The reason is that the Qin family has a great business, and it owns more than ten martial arts halls, and its disciples are more than twice that of the Li family and the Zhao family combined!

This martial arts conference happened to be held in the largest guild hall of the Qin family.

He Xiaofan was looking around all the way in.

This f*cking martial arts club is bigger than their entire community!
This is too exaggerated, right?

He Xiaofan is like Grandma Liu visiting the back garden, looking east and west, feeling very rare.

On the other hand, Li Xiaofeng followed He Xiaofan the whole time as usual, very calm.

"Hiss~ Damn! Isn't this the Qingming Festival?! How could it be here!" Standing in front of a long mural, He Xiaofan said with a horrified expression.

Qingming Riverside Picture is one of the top ten famous paintings handed down from ancient times in Huaguo.It is a folk painting of the Northern Song Dynasty, the only surviving masterpiece of the painter Zhang Mou in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is a national treasure.

Logically speaking, this kind of national treasure should now be hung in a museum in the capital, right?
How could it be in Su City?
Li Xiaofeng just glanced at it, and then said: "Oh, this is a fake master. I heard from the master before that this is a work copied by a master with superb painting skills invited by the head of the Qin family. But although it is a copy It’s a fake, but it seems to be worth tens of millions.”

tens of millions.
The way He Xiaofan looked at the painting in front of him suddenly changed, and at the same time he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
