Lu Pingping responded, “Still insisting you two haven't had much contact? I saw how she hooked you with her hand just now. You seemed to enjoy it quite a bit, didn't you?”

Yan Fei immediately denied, “There's absolutely no such thing. You must have seen wrong. By the way, you were just about to say what her weakness was, weren't you?”

Seeing Yan Fei change the subject, Lu Pingping laughed a bit and didn't continue with that topic. She said, “Ouyang Shafei's strong mental calculation ability allows her to spot discrepancies in her surroundings in an instant, and she will immediately correct any anomalies. This symptom is a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder. I knew about this issue of hers, so I placed a Number game card on the table and deliberately set one of the answers wrong. If it had been the old her, she would have noticed this mistake right away and corrected the wrong answer inconspicuously. But I just saw her notice the Number game card, yet she didn't move any of the answers.”

Yan Fei said, “Maybe she felt it was inappropriate to touch someone else's stuff in their office!”

Lu Pingping shook her head, “That's because you don't understand the symptoms of someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Once she spots the mistake, even in a strange environment, she would find a way to fix the wrong answer unintentionally.”

Yan Fei was somewhat confused as to why Lu Pingping was fixating on this issue, and he said, “And then?”

Lu Pingping said gravely, “I suspect Ouyang Shafei's superhuman calculation ability has vanished, and she's now just an ordinary person. That's why she didn't even notice the wrong answer on the game card, let alone think to correct it.”

Yan Fei was taken aback and said, “That seems unlikely, doesn't it? Mental calculation is an innate ability that one is born with. How could it just disappear all of a sudden?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Fei immediately thought of another genius classmate from China's Genius Class–Zhuge Liuyun. Zhuge Liuyun was also a famous genius in the Genius Class, with various amazing abilities. But just a few years after graduation, and not seeing him for a while, Zhuge Liuyun's genius abilities had disappeared, and he had completely regressed to an ordinary person.

And it wasn't just Zhuge Liuyun. Even Yang Qi, who could still be considered a super genius, in charge of the entire technological development of Dream Island, having achieved countless high-tech inventions, had diminished in ability compared to his school days.

Realizing this wasn't a unique case, Yan Fei began to believe Lu Pingping's deduction. The trajectory of Zhuge Liuyun's declining genius abilities and Ouyang Shafei's fast-disappearing ones were somewhat similar, both occurring rapidly after graduation. What could be the reason for this?

However, Yan Fei immediately recalled another exception, which was Gu Xiaolan. Gu Xiaolan's genius abilities had not degraded after graduation. On the contrary, they seemed to have been enhanced and became even more formidable. What was the explanation for this?

Unaware of Yan Fei's thoughts, Lu Pingping continued to analyze, “From the conversation Ouyang Shafei had with you just now, it can be noted that she spoke somewhat frivolously, as if without thinking–a behavior unthinkable for someone with strong mental calculation ability. Therefore, from the above analysis, we can almost certainly conclude that Ouyang Shafei has lost her ability to calculate, turning her into a modern-day 'The Pity of Zhongyong'. Although I too cannot understand how a talent can suddenly disappear in such a short time, this is likely the reality.”

Yan Fei sighed, “That's really a pity then. I used to be quite envious of her superhuman mental calculation ability.”

Lu Pingping said, “Is being an ordinary person that bad? I think there's more of a sense of achievement in gaining success through one's own efforts.”

As Yan Fei was about to speak, Lu Pingping murmured, “In the eyes of those old classmates, were we really as close as if we were about to get married?”

Yan Fei felt sweat breaking out on his back and laughed awkwardly, “Haha, maybe…”

Then, without waiting for Lu Pingping to speak, Yan Fei hurriedly said, “I need to check out Yang Qi's laboratory to see how dangerous this virulent virus really is, why it can kill foreign canines. This matter affects all of humanity's dog-raising benefits, and I must give it my full attention.”

Watching Yan Fei hastily leave the room, hitting his head on the glass door and shattering it, Lu Pingping in the room was speechless, with an inexplicable look in her eyes…
