Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately. The applause grew even more fervent... (The protagonist, possessed by a devil, travels through 19th-century Britain in a world without magic)

The threshold of life
In Life's Gate, battles were no different from normal RPGs. The main features were the companion and bloodline system.

The threshold of foreign literature
'The Door' was a long novel written by Blunt from England and published in 1886. The novel told the story of a young woman named Lily. She was forced to study in an aristocratic school because of her poor family. However, the rules of this school were very strict. Not only did the students have excellent academic performance, but they also had excellent appearance and social skills. Lily encountered all kinds of difficulties and discrimination in this school, but through her own efforts and persistence, she gradually gained the recognition and respect of the people around her. Lily's experiences were the main theme of the novel, with some descriptions of the aristocratic school system and social problems, reflecting the social class division and class opposition in British society at that time. At the same time, the novel also shows Lily's kindness, courage and perseverance, which makes the readers feel a deep human concern. "The Door" is considered one of Blunt's representative works and one of the important works in the history of English literature. It has been translated into many languages and has a wide readership worldwide.

Above and below the threshold
Among the stimulus-related concepts, there were the concepts of superliminal stimulation and subliminal stimulation. The threshold referred to the minimum stimulation intensity that could cause a reaction in the tissue. A stimulus with an intensity equal to the threshold was called a threshold stimulus, a stimulus with an intensity greater than the threshold was called a superthreshold stimulus, and a stimulus with an intensity less than the threshold was called a subthreshold stimulus. Before the membrane produced an action potential, subthreshold stimulation could not make the membrane produce an action potential. Only threshold stimulation or threshold stimulation could make the membrane produce an action potential. In terms of excitability, the threshold and excitability had an inverse relationship. For example, in the process of tissue excitement and its recovery, there is a different relationship between excitement and stimulation in different periods: the excitancy in the absolute responsive period is 0, and no stimulation can excite it.(Na+ channel is in an inactive state); the relative irritability is lower than normal, and the stimulation above the threshold can only be excited (the Na+ channel is gradually revived); the excitability in the supernormal period is higher than normal, and the stimulation below the threshold can be excited (the Na+ channel is basically revived); the excitability in the hyponormal period is lower than normal, and the stimulation above the threshold can be excited (the membrane potential is in a state of saturation). In addition, the threshold potential referred to the action potential that would be triggered when the potential on the membrane reached a certain critical value. This critical value was called the threshold potential. When the potential on the membrane rose to this critical value, the membrane's Na channel would open in large numbers, and a large amount of Na ions would flow in and trigger an action potential. The stimulation of this threshold potential was also called threshold stimulation.

The threshold of being a star
In terms of culture, the threshold to becoming a celebrity was relatively low. It was about the level of a primary school student. There were many phenomena of low cultural standards in the entertainment industry. For example, some celebrities exposed their lack of cultural literacy in public, such as Wang Yibo's inappropriate answers to questions related to the role during the road show, and Zhao Lusi forgetting the character's background. From the perspective of academic qualifications, many celebrities could develop in the entertainment industry even if they did not have high academic qualifications. For example, Yi Nengjing graduated from Guandong Women's College, Bai Lu graduated from Changzhou Higher Professional and Technical School of Travel and Commerce, Zhou Xun graduated from Zhejiang Art School (technical secondary school), Sun Li graduated from Oriental Culture College (junior college), Zhao Liying graduated from technical secondary school, etc. It could be seen that academic qualifications were not a high threshold to become a star. In terms of ways to acquire acting skills, many celebrities did not receive systematic cultural education and entered the entertainment industry through training courses and crash courses. This also reflected that the early education threshold for becoming a celebrity was relatively low. In addition, in the current competitive environment of the film and television industry, some celebrities sacrificed their looks in exchange for roles, obtained resources by relying on their backgrounds, and gained popularity through talent shows or great exposure. This also showed that the threshold to become a star in other aspects was not very high. However, this low threshold also brought many problems, such as the lack of cultural accomplishment of celebrities affecting their personal image and the overall image of the entertainment industry.

The lowest threshold for a rapper
In terms of equipment, the threshold for rappers included microphones, sound cards, computers, monitors, headphones, etc. The average value of equipment was more than 15,000 yuan (there was no upper limit). From a creative point of view, regardless of the external style (vibe), the song must have at least one Beat (rhythm) and the lyrics written by oneself. When you first started to rap, Beat was usually free or bought on some websites. In the era of AI, with the help of tools like Suno, it seemed that the threshold of creation was lowered. Even laymen who couldn't do Beat or remix could write rap songs that could make their single loop for a while. All in all, this showed that the barrier to entry for rappers was relatively low. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Rappers have no threshold
From many aspects, rappers seemed to have a lower threshold. In terms of equipment, the equipment required for rap, such as microphones, sound cards, computers, monitors, headphones, etc., although there was a certain cost investment, it was not unattainable from a creative point of view (an average of more than 15,000 yuan and there was no cap). In terms of creative ability, with the development of AI technology and the emergence of tools such as Suno, even if they lacked music theory knowledge and did not understand musical instruments, they could create a rap song with just a Beat and their own lyrics. This allowed ordinary people to create rap songs, which lowered the threshold of creation to a certain extent. From the perspective of public perception, compared to other types of music, there was a view that rappers had a lower threshold. For example, folk singers might be called singers if they could play the guitar and sing a little, but now rappers were considered to have a lower threshold than folk singers and become "music creators." However, this so-called "no threshold" was only a relative concept. In fact, if rappers wanted to gain recognition and long-term development in the industry, they also faced many high requirements. In terms of artistic accomplishment, rappers couldn't rely on outrageous behavior and vulgar content to show their so-called "charm." They had to abide by social order, good customs, laws and regulations, and have a bottom line for artistic creation. In terms of singing ability, if a rapper on the stage of Singer 2024 did not have good singing ability and was not accepted by the public, even if he was at the top of the rap industry, he might not be looked up to on the mainstream stage. Moreover, in terms of public image, the bad behavior of individual rappers would deepen the public's prejudice against the entire group. This also meant that rappers should pay attention to improving their own quality and have a positive and healthy image. Therefore, it was not without a threshold for rappers to gain widespread recognition and success. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
