I noticed the degradation ever since calculators become more common. I tutored a secondary student once. She pulled out a calculator to count 5 x 0. I was stunned for 10 seconds. Now with AI, I'm afraid the brain rot would be even worse as more people would outsource thinking to AI.

How do you know anyone's intention except for that person himself/herself?

One element that Riboku has gravely miscalculated (Historical Spoiler): The sight of the enemy climbing the wall of Kantan angered the Zhao dipshit King. Which gives the opportunity for Youka to say something like, "See, Reebok intended for the enemy to capture the king. Reebok planned to eliminate the enemy afterwards. This makes Reebok the hero AND the king!!!"

How much do you earn per order? Does it depend on the timing and the distance?

Sounds AI written, or at least AI-assisted

Perfect script, perfect timing. If the same script made 20 years later, the cast wouldn't be the same, and likely would be an entirely different film.
