Don't call me evil god

Chapter 428: Genius with Negative EQ

Perhaps the legendary creator god really is an extremely fair being.

When He grants a mortal genius intelligence, in return, He will completely take away his or her emotional intelligence.

This is how Reina feels now.

If we simply compare their talents in architecture, Ray Wayne is indeed a talented and brilliant architect.

Many of the ideas he put forward can be described as wild and imaginative.

Modular design, structures that do not exist in physics.

The combination of the two makes the buildings designed by Ray Wayne have a very unique aesthetic while ensuring practicality.

In the territories of the three Churches of Knowledge alone, more than 7% of the architectural designs were created by Ray Wayne.

And it can also achieve a balance in terms of cost.

If the budget is high, there will be a high-budget plan. If the budget is low, he can immediately provide the employer with a low-end plan.

But when it comes to emotional intelligence...

Lena felt that architect Wayne’s emotional intelligence was probably, no, definitely negative.

You could say he has the arrogance of a genius or he is stubborn, but his thinking easily gets stuck in a rut and he gets himself into a dead end.

Ever since the then-Ceylon City expansion plan went wrong, Ray Wayne has focused his attention on his design plan.

He has been trying to prove that his thinking is correct.

But I never found this opportunity.

Because whenever there was an opportunity to build a new building near Ceylon City, no one would be willing to hire Ray Wayne, even if he took the initiative to recommend himself and only charged a small amount of compensation far below the market price.

The more he was called a "fraudulent architect", the more Ray Wayne persisted in proving himself.

Completely stuck in a vicious circle.

He was a foreigner who had no relatives or friends in Ceylon and had spent all his savings. He did not want to leave in disgrace, so he moved to the refugee camp, where the cost of living was the lowest, and he could occasionally find some work building huts or using magic to repair and reinforce them, which allowed him to barely make a living.

The beholder is clear.

As soon as Lena saw Johnson's reaction, she understood something.

What happened back then was probably not a technical issue at all!

……

The only thing left in Ray Wayne's mind was "We didn't say it wasn't feasible."

Life over the years has also polished some of his edge, making him less youthful and aggressive than before and not willing to submit to anyone.

He frowned and asked:

"What do you mean?"

"You also thought my plan was feasible?"

"Then why do you say there is a problem with it!"

Johnson let out a long sigh.

He really didn't expect that this guy would think of asking this most crucial question after several years.

Recalling the scene of that year, Johnson felt helpless.

Every day he would rush into the Architects' Guild, waving the drawings he had worked up late to revise, and do nothing else but argue with everyone he met.

"What's wrong with my drawings?"

“Where is there an unfeasible design?”

"If you can tell me, I will follow your last name from now on!"

And so on.

The entire architectural guild was in turmoil.

Everyone was obviously trying to hint at him.

"If there's a problem, don't get involved."

"Your idea is problematic, give it up."

"You are still young, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Don't fight for this, you can't afford it."

But Ray Wayne wouldn't listen to any of this.

The Ceylon City Extension scheme was the first major commission he received after earning his architect’s badge.

Before this, Ray Wayne only took on small orders, such as helping people design houses and reinforcing them with magic.

All he could think about was this: this was his first big order, and also his first battle to make a name for himself, so he had to complete it beautifully.

He could not accept failure at all. "We actually hinted at you at that time."

"Your plan is great, but sometimes... in the architectural profession, technical issues are irrelevant."

Perhaps because a long time had passed, Johnson reluctantly revealed some information.

“The battles that happen where you can’t see them are what’s affecting the problem.”

Ray Wayne stared straight into Johnson's eyes, his voice as cold as ice:

"What do you mean by a place I can't see?"

"What do you know that I don't?"

Johnson's expression was bitter, and he shook his head helplessly:
"I dare not say."

"Wayne, please."

"Please spare me. I have a family and I need to earn money to support them."

"I'm already taking a risk by telling you this!"

Looking at Wayne's attitude, Johnson had no doubt that if he knew the identity of the "real murderer", he would definitely rush over and fight with him immediately.

That would be no different than sending Ray Wayne to his death.

And Johnson really didn't dare to say it.

He was able to live a comfortable life as a respectable man thanks to his craftsmanship as an architect. If Ray Wayne is exposed and the matter is investigated afterwards, he will definitely be involved and will definitely be implicated and doomed together.

……

Seeing that Ray Wayne was about to get into another dead end, his emotions were about to explode.

Lena knew that she could no longer rely on this guy with negative emotional intelligence to recruit an architect.

Clear the [Stealth] state cleanly.

Johnson was startled by the girl who suddenly appeared in the room.

"Ho!"

It's normal to be afraid.

Being targeted by a stalker without knowing it is a terrifying experience for anyone.

Reina bowed slightly.

"Don't be nervous. I am Mr. Wayne's friend and have been protecting him secretly."

"Please rest assured. I can assure you that the conversation that took place here today will not be known to a fourth person."

Johnson finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked at Ray Wayne in surprise.

How lucky is this guy to have a stalker friend protecting him in the dark all the time?
In just a few seconds, many thoughts flashed through Johnson's mind.

In a sense.

Recruiting an architect and untying Ray Wayne's knot are two things that can actually be combined into one thing.

We have to help Johnson relieve his worries first before we can pry open his mouth.

Reina decisively interrupted the conversation.

"Mr. Johnson."

"Let's put Wayne's matter aside for now."

"Here is a commission for an architectural design, it's very large, are you interested?"

She put particular emphasis on the word "very large".

Johnson was stunned when he heard Reina's words.

He looked at Reina with a slightly puzzled look.

"What commission? How big is it?"

Reina smiled slightly and threw out the bait:
“A brand new city that is expected to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people is being planned and built almost from scratch.”

“We need a lot of professional architects now!”

"The reward will definitely satisfy you!"
