"The deconstruction of human character is a very important research direction for the spiritual faction."
"Ordinary people and even magicians who have not learned about spiritual knowledge will inevitably 'pre-construct' the personality of strangers they just met, which is commonly known as labeling. Rich but gentle, poor and inferior, strong but domineering, weak but gentle... We will extract the most prominent characteristics of the other person and incorporate them into our own thinking."
"Labeling is a very normal mental activity. It can help us quickly find the most reasonable way to interact. We should be humble when facing a strong enemy and take advantage of the weak. We can even say that labeling is an essential survival skill."
"But for psychics, this kind of labeled 'pre-construction of personality' is often the best time for us to cast spells. We can influence strangers silently through personality deconstruction, usually in two ways."
"The first way is the simplest, catering to deconstruction. Generally speaking, after experiencing close interaction and contact, people will gradually modify their perception of others, from simple labeling to complex labeling. For example, "rich and gentle" will become "rich, stingy to others, gentle, but only as friends", etc. People use limited information to deconstruct a complex individual into an easily understandable concept. "
"To cater to the deconstruction is to reveal the other party's 'expected' characteristics after the psychic has made the first impression on the other party. For example, I dressed up as a rich and humorous middle-aged man to approach someone in a bar, and the other party would think that I have a luxury car, and then I really took out a luxury car key; the other party would think that I live in an upper-class area, and then I inadvertently revealed that I live in Phoenix Garden... Then what do you think of the result of my approach that night?"
"Show the other person a first impression that you like, and then continuously reveal details so that the other person can automatically 'complete' your character, and you can quickly gain the other person's trust. Because 'you' didn't say anything, everything about 'you' is inferred and thought out by the other person - people will unconditionally believe in their own judgment."
"Many victims of romance fraud are deceived by this technique and believe that love really exists in this world. I personally do not recommend you to use this method. Even if you do, don't cheat money. Just have a pleasant night and forget it."
"There are many other ways to use deconstruction, which I won't go into here. Students who are interested can buy my book "108 Practical Personality Templates", which can be purchased and downloaded on the Curtain."
"The second method is the most difficult, reverse deconstruction. You don't need to consider the impression you make on others, you just need to construct the impression others make on you in detail. In simple terms, it is to use techniques such as magic, miracles, and rhetoric to guide others so that they 'fit' your impression of them."
"If you think the other person is kind and generous, then he will become kind and generous in front of you. But you can't simply label him. You have to think about 'why he is kind' and 'why he is generous', and then use various details to strengthen the other person's cognition, so that the other person will unconsciously cater to your 'impression' - even if the other person resists conforming to this impression."
"It's a bit complicated to put it this way, but if you have read The History of Social Change, you will definitely be able to associate it with an ancient social unit - yes, it is the family system that Financier talked about last night."
"In the family system, male and female guardians often use this reverse deconstruction method to shape children into what they consider to be 'good children'. It is said that in ancient times, the easiest way to become a psychic was to raise a perfect child."
"We are not discussing the correctness of Financier's remarks here, but there is no doubt that reverse deconstruction will stifle children's individuality and deprive them of their human rights and freedoms. This is one of the reasons why the family system has been swept into the garbage dump of history. But for us psychics, reverse deconstruction is the direction of our lifelong research and study."
"A powerful psychic is no longer satisfied with reverse deconstructing intelligent creatures, but reverse deconstructing the world - 'the world revolves around me', this is the highest realm of a psychic!"
"This class ends here. get out of class dismissed."
As the bell rang, the students left in a hurry and soon most of the classroom was empty.
Adela, who was next to Freya, slumped on the table and sighed, "If this goes on, when will I be able to summon a psychic spirit to gamble? This elective course really only teaches everything except knowledge."
Freya was wearing a cool tank top with one shoulder strap today and nodded in agreement.
There is no psychology department in comprehensive universities, or rather, there is no psychology department in any university in the entire Blood Moon Kingdom. At most, there are only elective courses on spiritual knowledge, such as the "Psychic Analysis" they chose.
The professor talked a lot, but never explained how to summon a magic spirit. All he talked about over and over again were some interpersonal communication strategies, and he also tempted everyone to buy his book - if Freya was right, the professor had just used magic spirits like "hint" to make students think that the book "108 Practical Personality Templates" contained the method of summoning a magic spirit.
Although the course quality was low and the professor was of poor character, the price was not cheap at all. Just for this class, Freya's total student loan amount increased by a full 5%.
Although everyone can find all knowledge for free behind the curtain these days, knowledge that can make money is not only not free, but also has extremely high thresholds and is strictly guarded.
For example, the Department of Biology. The 17th century was the century of biology, and biological colonizer was currently the highest-paid profession, but if one wanted to learn related knowledge, one could only become an apprentice of a biology professor, and there was basically a ten-year employment contract that could not be escaped.
The only obvious profession in the psychic department is psychotherapist, but everyone knows that real psychics are either criminals or politicians (actually, they are almost the same). It can be said to be high risk and high reward, so it is natural that knowledge of psychic factions is difficult to obtain.
If Freya wasn't a Veela and was likely to be able to summon psionics on her own, she would have wanted to use the money for the lessons to have fun in Nika for a few days.
Adela said, "We're going to have dinner at Salesh tonight?"
"No money." Freya said lazily, "I just went to Frostfall last night."
"It's my treat."
"Did you win money?"
"Hehe." Adela smiled like a cat. "I placed a big bet on Finanxie during the Blood Moon Trial last night and made a lot of money."
“How much did you earn?”
"I can only tell you that if I lose, I will have to work at Cha Ka for the next few months."
