Weiss was shocked by Lorne's tone. He just did not understand why he had to clean the table, wipe the chairs, and sweep the floor. What did he do to disappoint his teacher?

He hurriedly said with some fear, "I apologize as my aptitude is dull. There are some things that I don't understand. Please don't be angry at me."

Lorne sighed and put on a stern face.

"Forget it. You're young and impetuous. There are too many things you don't understand. That's why you're so ignorant.

"Today, I'm here to talk some sense into you. I'll tell you why you have to start with these trivial things."

Weiss immediately looked at Lorne with full attention. He even gave his most attentive face.

"First of all, you have to understand that profound knowledge comes step by step, and is accumulated bit by bit. No teacher will talk about obscure knowledge to their students at the beginning.

"You have to lay a solid foundation for yourself before you have the ability to comprehend profound knowledge more deeply.

"Otherwise, if you don't lay a solid foundation, no matter how high your pursuit for knowledge is, there will be a day when it will collapse and turn into nothingness!"

Hearing this, Weiss seemed to be deep in thought and nodded repeatedly. What Lorne said made sense. As the saying goes, Rome wasn't built in a day.

It seemed that he did not learn much at home, which led to his misconception today.

Weiss immediately bowed to Lorne and said respectfully, "What you said made sense. I will remember it.

"But I still don't understand. Even if I start from the foundation, what does it have to do with these miscellaneous things?"

Lorne did not expect this little investigator to have a stubborn trait that would not rest until he found the truth.

He could not help but scratch his head, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.

"If you don't sweep a room, how can you sweep the world?

"Don't think that cleaning tables, chairs, and floors looks like a simple thing, but in fact, there is also a lot of work put into it.

"Only those who are able to do well with the tiny details have the right to say that they have the ability to do bigger, greater things.

"The details determine success or failure. If these trivial matters are handled carelessly, then one can imagine that when doing great things, it will not make sense."

Weiss was shocked by the explanation. He could not believe that there was actually such a great principle!

If one did not clean a house, how could one sweep the world? He had heard this saying before, but he did not expect it to be reflected in this place.

When asking the First Prince to do such menial things… Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to somewhat relate to his future. How could he not even be able to clean up a small tavern if he wanted to be a ruler.

What qualifications did he have to possess to be the master of the world in the future and rule over the people?

Weiss could not help but nod his head and quickly memorized these words of wisdom in his mind. Before he could speak, Lorne continued to lecture the other kid. His theoretical knowledge moved one set after another.

"And although you are not the son of a noble family, you are at least from a business family. You have been well educated since you were young and have never done any hard work.

"Now that you've experienced these ordinary physical tasks, these trivial things will give you a deeper understanding of what it means to live a real life.

"Otherwise, in the future, when you take over your father's job and manage such a large business, you might not understand what the ordinary people need. How are you going to make the business bigger and stronger if you have no empathy for your people?"

As soon as he said this, Weiss fell into deep thought again.

According to what his teacher had said, even the children of businessmen would have to experience hardship since they were young. They needed to go through some training to better understand the various aspects of life.

The First Prince of the Lolan Empire had been living a luxurious life since he was young. He had never done any hard work, and he had never understood how the people lived.

In this way, would he be able to be a wise king in the future?

In that case, it was quite necessary to clean up this tavern diligently and conscientiously. This was the first step he needed to take when he came into contact with ordinary folk life and experienced the myriad tastes of life. It was also the way to build the most solid foundation ever!

Weiss instantly felt that he had been enlightened, as if he had understood some shocking truth.

Lorne looked at Weiss, who was immersed in self-realization, and could not help but be secretly delighted. Sure enough, this young man was easier to fool than his father. He would foolishly eat up all the words Lorne spouts out.

Since that was the case, he might as well brainwash him!

Therefore, Lorne immediately continued speaking.

"Also, in my opinion, with this small matter, you will be able to develop several outstanding qualities."

Lorne had just said this when Weiss was rendered speechless.

There was more?

Just how many great principles and knowledge did Lorne have in his mind to be able to trigger that many philosophies of life from a small matter?

Weiss was now filled with admiration. Of course, he did not speak. He just sat there like a good boy, listening attentively to what other qualities he could develop by cleaning the tavern.

Lorne coughed lightly.

"This tavern is only this big. It's not very spacious, but you still need to be meticulous when cleaning it.

"You can clean up each and every corner cleanly, and you must not miss out any detail. You have to take care of everything, top to bottom.

"You have to be persistent from the beginning to the end. You can't give up halfway.

"As long as you can do this thing well, at the very least, your patience, observational skills, and the degree of seriousness and focus will be greatly improved.

"You may not be able to see anything now, but as long as you persevere for years and months, over a long period of time…

"You'll soon realize that your entire person has become different from before. You will be reborn and become even more outstanding!"

"Woah!"

Lorne had just finished speaking when Weiss could not help but gasp.

'Amazing, he really is too amazing!'

To be able to train so many qualities in one go, and they were all excellent qualities that were necessary for the ruler of the world to govern the country.

After carefully summarizing the small matter of cleaning, Lorne had already pointed out two major principles and a bunch of excellent qualities for the First Prince.

From the looks of it, Lorne was the one who had truly practiced the saying of seeing the bigger picture in things in life to the extreme!

Weiss had an epiphany and finally understood the whole point of this.

He must learn this!
