Chapter 1321
Based on the context of their conversation, Yao Guangxiao could roughly deduce that Zhang Hai's use of "Earth" was likely a geographical term.
But what Yao Guangxiao didn't understand was why "ground" was called "ball," and how these two completely unrelated words could be put together.
If Zhang Hai meant the earth was round, Yao Guangxiao could understand, since a circle and a sphere are two different concepts.
But Zhang Hai was talking about a ball, which made Yao Guangxiao suspicious and want to know the answer.
Upon hearing Yao Guangxiao's question, Zhang Hai immediately grinned.
"The Earth is just the Earth!"
Zhang Hai knew exactly what Yao Guangxiao wanted to ask, but he deliberately didn't say it directly, playing a trick on Yao Guangxiao.
Yao Guangxiao was very clever and immediately knew what Zhang Hai was thinking. He was just being played, and he didn't care.
Having understood Zhang Hai's intention, Yao Guangxiao was not angry, and calmly spoke again:
"I asked the wrong question. Let me ask again. Guard Zhang, which area of the earth are you referring to?"
Seeing that Yao Guangxiao was neither angry nor annoyed, Zhang Hai felt as if he had punched cotton.
It has to be said that with his limited skills, he was only able to gain a slight advantage over Yao Guangxiao at the very beginning by taking him by surprise.
Once Yao Guangxiao got serious, he wouldn't gain any advantage at all, which amused Wei Wu watching from the sidelines.
However, he did not stop Zhang Hai from continuing. It wasn't a secret, and there was no need to keep it a secret.
If Yao Guangxiao knew that there were so many countries overseas, he might have had other thoughts.
But Wei Wu didn't care. Now that Yao Guangxiao was in his hands, there was no way he could escape.
Wei Wu will not let the tiger return to the mountain like last time. This time, he will have Zhang Hai and Shen Lin keep a close watch on it.
Once all of Yao Guangxiao's value has been squeezed dry, his death will be imminent, and this time will not exceed one day.
In short, once we return to Zhu Di's side and Yao Guangxiao reveals the information, Wei Wu will take direct action against him.
Even for someone who was destined to die, Wei Wu wouldn't be so harsh as to refuse to let him hear even some news that would broaden his horizons.
As for Zhang Hai, he knew in his heart that Yao Guangxiao had no hope of surviving with his young master.
That's why he dared to speak so recklessly, mainly to satisfy his own vanity.
Although Zhang Hai didn't know much about Yao Guangxiao, unlike Wei Wu who had memories of the future and knew what Yao Guangxiao had accomplished.
But Zhang Hai was clever in one way: he used Wei Wu as a benchmark. Anyone whom Wei Wu approved of must be a very capable person.
Cao Cao had praised Yao Guangxiao for his intelligence on several occasions, so he must have been one of the most intelligent people in the world.
Zhang Hai's vanity lay in saying things to Yao Guangxiao that even this intelligent man couldn't understand.
Therefore, seeing Yao Guangxiao's humble and inquisitive attitude, Zhang Hai immediately smiled.
"Earth does not refer to any particular region, but rather the land beneath your feet, which is itself a sphere."
"The earth, the sea, and the mountains are all part of the planet, which in turn floats in a void called the universe."
Upon hearing Zhang Hai's words, Yao Guangxiao's previously calm expression instantly became much more serious, and his brows furrowed.
He remained skeptical of what Zhang Hai had said, but even though he had doubts, he didn't voice them.
As for what he questioned, it was nothing more than that classic question:
The earth is spherical and floats in the void, so why didn't the person at the bottom of that sphere fall down?
This wasn't the first time Zhang Hai had explained the Earth to someone; he had explained it to his wife at home before.
