Chapter 40: The Wisdom of Puppies
Russell shook his head slightly and sighed.
Miss Ringo is still too young.
In other words, her talent is indeed lacking, and her social experience is also lacking......
- so much so that he did not perceive the true intention of the "Professor Chen" from this extremely obvious and deliberate arrangement.
She does know a lot of things, she is a little smart, and she is very determined.
But she didn't have anything she wanted to do, and she didn't have a clear plan for her life - that sense of confusion that went deep into the bone marrow, just like Russell when he first came to Happiness Island. Walking on the clouds with vague steps, stumbling forward in the fog.
It is precisely because the two are very similar on all levels...... Russell didn't even need to rub Ringo's mind to guess what she was thinking.
Ringo and Russell are really similar.
In other words, they are actually the same kind of people in their bones.
They are also outcasts - you know, Russell was also disliked by his parents in his previous life, and he also has such fears and shadows in his heart. And now they also have strong hearts and can follow the path they have decided without hesitation.
Moreover, they all decided to disguise themselves and make themselves look more likable after they were traumatized at a young age......
The difference is that Russell is slightly stronger than Ringo in every way.
Russell wasn't just likable. He is not always in the position of a weak, follower, but is able to gradually acquire the characteristics and talents of the other party through imitation and learning, and then take away the position of the other person in the social circle.
But Lin Yi can only be a follower and a pet.
On the other hand, Russell was able to rely on his talents to be valued by the elf directors, graduated with the highest grades at the highest school, and now has become a big man...... Ringo, on the other hand, can only survive cautiously in the execution department, being used as a consumable and used as a pawn.
Russell and Ringo had the same laziness and similar arrogance in the depths of their hearts—the blood of their kind was not hot, but warm, like wine warmed by a fire.
When they deceive some big people through their own plays, and after they have a good relationship with them, a shadow called "arrogance" will be born in the depths of their hearts. They will mistakenly think that their status has also been promoted, as if they have really become some great person.
Russell had the memory of being reincarnated in order to break free from this illusion. Ringo, on the other hand, lacks this introspection – so she is truly lazy, choosing to use her gifts to escape the sublimation that is destined for pain.
She obviously has a talent of her own—the talent for perceiving desires and demagoguery. She originally had the same qualifications as a demagogic "witch" like ale, but because of her inferiority and laziness, she was willing to fall and was not perfectly developed.
If a person like her has experienced some intense pain and extremely strong stimulation, she can be dragged out of the safe area. Forcing her to face up to her talents, she painfully tries to break out of the cocoon.
The commonly known blackening is three times stronger, and this is the truth. Not everyone has a chance to be three times stronger after blackening, and even if elementary school students are blackened, they can only add a netherworld filter to themselves...... A person who has no talent at all, no matter how painful and crazy he is, can only be called impotent rage.
Thinking of this, Russell shook his head and decided to help a little.
It's up to the two of them to be of the same kind...... And for the sake of the stories she told.
Even if Russell only stopped at Sun Island for one night, now by replicating Lin Ye's personality and listening to Lin Ye's story, he has already gained an understanding of Sun Island. This saved Russell a lot of time, so he didn't have to stay in Sun Island on his way back to conduct another round of observations.
"What do you think...... That Professor Chen, will you not know what you think? ”
Russell sighed and looked into Lin Ao's somewhat stunned eyes: "Let's put it this way, Miss Lin Io.
"When a big man for you asks you for an ambiguous task - he says something like 'it can be successful or not', then his expectations are actually unsuccessful.
"It's not that he doesn't have faith in you. On the contrary, he has a lot of faith in you...... Confidence to mess things up. Instead of expecting your success and being mentally prepared for your failure. ”
“…… What? ”
No matter what he thinks in his heart...... As long as he expects a successful result, he will be strict with you. Rather, the more Professor Chen thinks that something will be wrong with you, the more severe he will be on you, and even directly threaten you, so that you can get the best possible result. And in the case that you can't meet the demands of the job, when you go back, take the opportunity to spur and beat you more, or choose to forgive you to gain your gratitude, that is his choice.
"There's an old saying in Taoyuan Island. It's called 'taking the law from the top, only being in the middle; Take the law in the middle, so it is under it'. It's like when you take an exam, you rush to 90 points to take the test, and you run to the first place in the class, and you may only be able to take the eighth place; And if you think that you can get into the top five, it's almost enough, and if you can't pass the test, maybe you won't even be able to get into the top ten; Even passing can be dangerous when you're just trying to pass.
This is the kind of thing that even a dull student can understand. Do you think that 'Professor Chen' will not understand? ”
Looking at Lin Ye, who was stunned and thoughtful, Russell also stood up.
He walked up to Lin and reached out to touch her soft, slightly curly hair. Freshly showered hair still has a little moist and cold moisture, and it doesn't feel frizzy to the touch.
Russell looked straight into Ringo's eyes until she looked away slightly.
"Let's think about it backwards......"
Russell's voice is gentle and clear, with a slight laziness that belongs to a teenager.
But in terms of real voice, Ringo, who is younger than Russell, sounds more like an older sister.
"If nothing happens to the airship, the 'captain' you have a crush on will accompany us. Presumably you will be more entangled and hesitant...... Although your captain and your senior sister are lovers, they are not married, are they? ”
"Yes......"
"And I, on the other hand, will easily see your hesitation...... Because your acting skills to hide your worries are really not strong. Then even if I don't feel 'pity', I will feel 'disappointed' or even 'unhappy'. Naturally, your dedication will not be able to be talked about, and it may even break down the relationship and make the two of us cold.
"Even to Sun Island, someone like you who isn't even a doctor is of little value—but I'm different."
Russell smiled gently: "I'm not a doctor, it's just because I don't want to take the exam, not because I can't pass the exam." Sun Island, who respects the wise man, naturally won't come over and make a special trip to disgust me. ”
“…… But in this case, what can Professor Chen get? I didn't do anything at all......"
"No, you did. Just like now. ”
"What?"
"Let me know his name and remember this man deeply. And let me know, I'll find him if I go to you. ”
Russell looked at Lin Ye and couldn't help but sigh.
Indeed, just a puppy.
Even if she understood things very early because of her excellent qualifications and loneliness in her early years, if no one continued to educate her, all she could master was the wisdom of baring her teeth and fighting for food.
Seeing that she still didn't seem to understand, Russell simply explained: "I was able to inherit my mother's spiritual energy because my mother died before I awakened.
"Even if we have a child between us, how can we verify that Professor Chen's theory is correct? You should know that psionic energy is unique. ”
Hearing this, Lin Yi's eyes widened suddenly.
It doesn't seem too stupid. I finally got it.
Russell breathed a sigh of relief.
"You say, when I die, our children will inherit my spiritual powers. Maybe that's true, but you have to know...... I am the deputy director of the special executive department of Happiness Island and the deputy director of Shenzhi Heavy Industries Branch in Happiness Island, and I am only 26 years old this year. The likelihood that I would fall into a demon is greater than that of a sudden death or being killed. If I don't die, how can you, as a 'lone sample', prove Professor Chen's theory? ”
He felt a little helpless about Lin Yi's naivety: "You can think about it yourself a little bit. My life and death were uncontrollable to him, and that was not something that an experimenter would do. So what is the real and only controllable thing for him? ”
“…… Be...... It's me? ”
"-You, of course."
Russell's voice was like a demon's whisper: "I won't necessarily die if he dies." Compared to me, you are still in his hands. As the person in charge of managing your prosthetic modifications...... It should be very simple for you to die unconsciously, right?
"In that case, how can I promise you a child?
"It not only robbed you of your purity, but also your life."
