Genius Club
Chapter 1138 - 28 Closing In (Added for alliance leader 6+545456!)_2

Speaking of fairness, Lin Xian thought of Turing and Gauss.

There’s no need to discuss Turing; his so-called fairness is completely twisted, sheer nonsense.

As for Gauss...

The questions he posed to Einstein mostly revolved around genetic enhancement, human health, immunity, and brain enhancement.

Could it be that the [equality] he pursued is the ultimate concept of "regression towards the mean," using technology to grant every human being the ultimate in health, physique, intelligence quotient, immunity, genetic enhancement?

That is to say, if it’s impossible to raise everyone’s shortcomings to the average level, then simply enhance every single person into a superhuman.

When everyone in this world possesses a superhuman physique, a brain as brilliant as Einstein’s, a constitution unassailable by any toxin... does this signify equality?

Lin Xian couldn’t fathom it.

Among the current members of the Genius Club, Lin Xian has absolutely no clue, not even the slightest inkling, about the future plans of Newton and Gauss.

These two are indeed at two extremes.

Newton asks about nothing, while Gauss asks utterly random questions... indeed, there’s only a fine line between a madman and a genius.

Having heard Lin Xian’s explanation, Xu Yiyi suddenly understood:

"So that’s how it is. In that case, it makes sense that Chen Heping could give birth to Big Face Cat. Who knows, perhaps the child of Big Face Cat will turn out a genius!"

"Um..."

Lin Xian found it difficult to speak.

Thinking about the other dreams, with the daughter of Big Face Cat resembling a tomboy and the little Big Face Cat as wise as Big Face itself, it seems like Chen Heping’s good genes... might truly be gone for good.

"Maybe."

He responded perfunctorily:

"But each person’s value is reflected differently, and we can’t judge by common standards."

"What about you?"

Lee Ningning blinked, looking at Lin Xian:

"What kind of girl do you hope your daughter will be?"

Upon hearing this question.

The first image that popped into Lin Xian’s mind was Lin Yuxi.

Constrained by thought, unable to extend or fantasize in any other direction... whenever he thought of his daughter, Lin Yuxi came to mind.

"I hope she is just healthy and happy."

"Hmph."

Xu Yiyi snorted disdainfully:

"Every parent starts off saying that, but it’s bound to change later on, so hypocritical."

"But that’s really what I think."

Lin Xian replied somewhat innocently:

"The future is indeed unpredictable, but every parent’s love for their child definitely starts with that thought."

"Then you should spend more time with her, stop running around."

Xu Yiyi curled up her legs, perched on a discarded tire, clutching her knees, and spoke somberly:

"[The best love a parent can give to a child is their presence... Being there for her childhood, watching her grow bit by bit, is stronger than anything else.]"

Lin Xian looked at the somewhat melancholic Xu Yiyi, really wanting to pat her head on behalf of Professor Xu Yun to comfort her.

But...

Xu Yiyi is very strong-willed, perhaps using stubbornness to shield a fragile heart, which is why she, like a hedgehog, refuses all tenderness.

"I will."

Lin Xian said softly.

The regret of Huang Que, as well as Huang Que’s own regret in that timeline, was leaving Yu Xi, because it led Copernicus to take advantage and train her as a spy.

This time, how could he repeat the same mistake and leave Yu Xi again?

Next to him, Lee Ningning who had been munching on melon seeds, chimed in:

"I think whether you can live a healthy and happy life depends on the state of the world."

She spread her hands and looked around the City of Sin:

"Just like in this world right now, how can we ensure that children live a healthy and happy life? Either endure the filth and disorder of the City of Sin, or suffer oppression in Donghai City... we really have no other choices."

"[If you want your child to grow up happy, you first have to make this world into a place where she can be happy. Only a wonderful world can bring a beautiful life... anything else, like making the best out of a bad situation, is just forced self-deception.]"

Lin Xian nodded in agreement.

A faint smile:

"I really didn’t see this coming, one day you two would be able to teach me a lesson."

"But what you’ve both said is correct, I’ve taken note. And... it’s not just my daughter, it includes you too."

He looked at Lee Ningning, then at Xu Yiyi:

"[Don’t worry, I will take back the best future for you.]"

...

The next day, at Rhein Company, Lin Xian was greeted by an unexpected visitor.

"Angelica?"

Lin Xian looked up from behind his desk, his gaze landing on the Hollywood actress known as The Chameleon Witch.

He furrowed his brow:

"Is it safe?"

"Don’t worry Lin Xian, I’ve handled this very cleanly."

Angelica took off her sunglasses and walked slowly towards Lin Xian in her high heels:

"We haven’t contacted you for so many days because we haven’t found the right opportunity... We are very well hidden now, Copernicus has no suspicion of us. He still thinks he killed Jask, and that the person now taking Jask’s place is a body double, while that female secretary has been playing his puppet all along."

Listening to Angelica, Lin Xian understood:

"So, your plan with Jask is even more intricate than I imagined. I originally thought Jask summoned you to make up and disguise a double in his place to deceive the undercover agent lying in wait."

"I didn’t expect you to go even more extreme, directly eliminating the undercover along with everyone else, meaning... the undercover close to Jask, was that much-trusted secretary he regarded as his own?"
