After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 263 Xu Lin's First Trip Abroad: Stunning the West, How to Infiltrate the West

Around 12:00 noon, Ms. Ren said she wanted to go out for lunch.

Xu Lin didn't really want to go out, but he insisted on going along.

So Xu Lin had another meal with the three of them.

Xu Lin didn't know what Ms. Ren and Lin Yajing talked about, and they didn't mention it during the meal; they just ate normally.

After they had eaten their fill, everyone parted ways.

Xu Lin and Ms. Ren walked home together.

At this point, Ms. Ren finally asked him about his relationship with Yu Xinyan.

What's going on between you and Yan Yan?

"What could possibly happen? It's just like this now."

"She likes you, you know that?"

"I definitely know that."

"Then how do you deal with it?"

"How about I marry another one, like Yan Yan?"

"I'll break your legs when the time comes!"

"Then why are you asking me how to handle this?"

Xu Lin was too lazy to pay attention to these topics.

Don't be fooled by Ms. Ren's words that she would break his legs.

However, people are all hypocritical.

Just like when it comes to the issue of using connections and back channels, everyone scorns those who use them, thinking it undermines social fairness and is bad for vulnerable groups. So, they all rise up to attack, waving the banner of morality to criticize this and that, as if they really think they are saints and gentlemen.

However, when it's their turn, they start thinking about using connections and getting others to make things easier for them.

Xu Lin has always believed that the world is composed of a small number of saints and virtuous people, a small number of extremely evil people, and the vast majority of ordinary people who constantly shift between extremes.

Those who talk about grand principles and can put them into practice are extremely rare. If you can truly do what you say, then you will definitely have a place among the saints. When you die, countless people will see you off, erect monuments and write biographies for you, and many years later, people will still remember you.

Similarly, those who are born bad are extremely rare.

What remains are the masses of ordinary people on the street. They can be good, bad, or even inhuman. The humanity that people often talk about is found in these people. Saints and born bad are not included in this discussion.

In fact, Ms. Ren had her own thoughts when Xu Lin said he would marry another woman.

She liked Ning Yuhan and Yu Xinyan, not to mention that she had watched Yu Xinyan grow up.

How wonderful it would be to have two daughters-in-law!

oops?

Am I being too greedy?

How could a person do this?
Ms. Ren didn't realize that she was also a hypocrite and a person with double standards.

Therefore, Xu Lin, who understood human nature, didn't bother with these things.

In his view, you can do whatever you want.

Oh shit.

I'm so busy, how could I possibly have the time or energy to think about these issues?
I'm going to conquer the world now, and romantic love can only occupy a very small place in my life.

After returning home, Xu Lin went straight to his room to continue with his own business.

Xu Lin glanced at the paper he had submitted yesterday; it hadn't been accepted yet.

I don't know how many days I'll have to wait.

"When will that be?"

Xu Lin decided to use some technical means.

Xu Lin felt that his time was very precious, how could he wait that long?
The submission period for TPAMI is up to two months, and the review process is estimated to take a week or even longer. Only if the paper is completely without any problems can it be officially accepted and finally searchable online.

Xu Lin estimated that the entire process would take at least a month.

Could there be problems with Xu Lin's thesis?
Xu Lin felt that if there were any problems with his paper, the reviewers should go back and relearn their professional knowledge.

The wait was very long.

Xu Lin had no choice but to resort to technical means.

What are the technical means?
Hacking into the other party's backend and moving your own emails to the top.

It is so simple and unpretentious.

Xu Lin acted immediately, hacking into the backend of TPAMI.

I was surprised to find that this email address had a whopping four-figure number of unread submissions, and none of them were duplicates.

Xu Lin's emails were originally ranked outside the top two thousand.

If this were the normal review process, it would take forever.

Reviewing academic papers is a technical skill, not something you can just glance at like in a novel. Even an eighty-year-old woman could do that, but if you don't have a doctorate, you're not qualified to review academic papers.

For reviewers of top journals, a doctoral degree is a basic requirement.

Moreover, whether a PhD can serve as a reviewer depends on whether his academic accumulation and professional authority in the field meet the standards.

Therefore, the reviewers are also very strict.

Xu Lin placed his paper at the very beginning so that it wouldn't crowd out submissions from others.

After everything was settled, Xu Lin just waited for notification.

Until 3:47 p.m.

The Moon Goddess sent a notification: Your manuscript has begun the review process.

That's how fast things go when you have the technology!
Xu Lin: How long do you think it will take to get a result?

Moon Goddess: According to the data I obtained, on average within a week.

A week is alright, it's pretty fast.

"I'm going abroad during this free time."

Xu Lin felt he needed to start planning ahead.

Later, once he has perfected all the neural networks he wants, he can directly train artificial intelligence.

But this requires advance planning.

Xu Lin needs to plan ahead.

As for those neural networks, it won't take Xu Lin very long either.

In the afternoon, Xu Lin went out and bought a new suit. It cost more than 30,000 yuan, which was not cheap, but only a high-end suit could make him look good.

"I need to go out of town for a while."

When he got home, Xu Lin told his mother.

"Where to go?"

"Going abroad to Meilika, I have some business to attend to."

"Your business has already reached that point?" Mom asked in surprise.

"of course."

"Okay, Mom has faith in you!"

Ms. Ren is very proud. Her son is becoming more and more outstanding. How could she not be proud?
So, the next day, Xu Lin left the provincial capital.

However, Xu Lin did not go abroad immediately, but instead made a trip to two film sets beforehand.

First, I'll go back to Jiangdu, and then I'll go to Hengdian.

For both locations, Xu Lin took a plane directly, which was much faster.

Xu Lin spent a total of three days
After visiting the film set.

On the third night, Xu Lin took a plane from Jiangdu Airport to Los Angeles.

Because it was a connecting flight, it took Xu Lin sixteen hours to reach his destination.

However, the sixteen-hour flight wasn't too uncomfortable because Xu Lin had bought a first-class ticket, allowing him to sleep comfortably in bed.

The time difference between Jiangdu and Los Angeles is 16 hours; the latter's time is later than Jiangdu's.

When Xu Lin arrived at his destination, it was evening in Los Angeles, while it was already the next day in China.

"I've arrived in Los Angeles. Just letting you know I'm safe."

Xu Lin sent a message to his mother.

Ms. Ren: "Okay, be careful."

Xu Lin sent a "no problem" emoji and then put his phone away.

He was wearing a black suit today, and he was 1.9 meters tall. That height wouldn't be considered short anywhere on Earth.

and.

From the moment Xu Lin stepped onto this land, in addition to having the "Dragon Among Men" buff, another "Awesome and Mighty" buff was automatically triggered.

They really went all out.

Everyone looked at him and thought this Asian man was very powerful, like a king.

People from all over the world come to Los Angeles Airport.

A German female journalist also happened to be coming out of the airport.

This is a very well-known international journalist named Grace.

This type of journalist has a very keen sense for what's on camera or what's trending.

She spotted Xu Lin walking towards her in the crowd at a glance.

That tall, handsome young man of Asian descent had such a powerful aura, like a king who had stepped out of ancient times, with an overbearing and domineering posture.

She quickly turned on the camera hanging around her neck and took a series of photos of Xu Lin.

She also successfully captured a classic moment. The photos she took of Xu Lin were so good that she felt they could even win her a World Press Photo Award.

This is the highest honor in the field of photojournalism!
In the photo, Xu Lin walks towards us with one hand in his pocket, and the people around him are looking at him with surprise, amazement and even admiration.

This young man is very special.

He was even like a god!

My God, how can there be such a person in the world?
People were shocked.

"Hello, dear sir, excuse me!"

She waved to Xu Lin and greeted him in English.

“Hello, beautiful lady!” Xu Lin also said in English.

The female reporter asked, "I just took a set of photos of you. Do you need them?"

"let me see."

"look."

"Great shot! You seem to be an excellent reporter!"

"Thanks for the compliment."

The female reporter asked him, "Are you Chinese?"

How did you figure it out?

"Because you give me the feeling that only a superpower can possess this!"

She emphasized, "This feeling is very strong!"

"You have good taste; I am indeed Chinese."

Abroad, China is actually a superpower, and the country under Xu Lin's feet has repeatedly reiterated this.

You are a superpower.

Grace said, "You are the most special Chinese person I have ever met!"

Xu Lin, of course, didn't stand on ceremony. He chatted with the female reporter for a few minutes, then disappeared into the crowd.

To him, this female reporter was just a fleeting passerby.

The female reporter watched Xu Lin disappear.

She then realized what was happening, and a sense of loss washed over her. Suddenly, something occurred to her, and she quickly took out her notebook and pen, and began to write, as if she were writing in a diary:
"He is a very special young man. He comes from that superpower in the East. He is so special. I studied classical literature in college and my two published books have won awards. I think I have a certain literary foundation, but my knowledge is still not enough to describe his specialness."

He was like a king, like a god. I asked him if he came from that superpower in the East, and he said yes. I thought to myself, of course, how could a superpower possibly produce a man like this? Only a super civilization that has nurtured great figures is qualified to nurture equally great figures!
After he left, I admit I felt a deep sense of loss. I didn't know if I would ever see him again in my life. I forgot to ask his name, only that he came from the East. He gave me a very strong feeling that one day, his name would resound throughout the entire world!

After writing it, she revised it and then posted the text on her Facebook public page, along with six photos of Xu Lin.

She has nearly two million followers on Facebook.

Even if some of the fans are inflated, the number of real fans is definitely not small.

So, shortly after her post was published, many fans came in to see what was going on.

"My God, where does this man come from in that great Eastern country?"

"Such a powerful kingly aura, which great nation does this man truly come from?"

"These photos should be published in Time Magazine; those so-called 100 most attractive men in the world are nothing compared to them!"

"East Asian men have no charm, but this man, I admit, is really charming, like a king!"

“Miss Grace is right. Only a super civilization that has nurtured great figures is qualified to nurture equally great figures! Countries like Rika, China, Germany, Russia, and France have all produced very great figures, and these countries are all powerful nations in the world today and in history!”

"He really gave me the feeling that only a superpower could cultivate such a person. It felt like a superpower was embodied in a man."

Reporter Grace's post quickly became a trending news story and was seen by more people.

Xu Lin quickly gained numerous entries on the Western internet.

A king-like man, a god, a king from a superpower in the East, the most masculine man in East Asia, and so on.

In the internet age, even with firewalls restricting domestic and international networks.

However, the number of people in China who can bypass the Great Firewall to access the internet is no less than five million.

Soon, people in China discovered this trending topic.

Walderfa?
Who is this?
Chinese?
Damn, he's so handsome?

Soon, this trending topic spread back to the domestic internet, especially on short video platforms.

"My god, who is this? He's so handsome! Who took this picture?"

"This was taken by a very famous foreign journalist. I have to say, this journalist is incredibly skilled at taking photos; it feels like it's award-winning!"

"Who is this? He's so handsome! Does our country have men this handsome? Which big star is he?"

"Isn't this Mr. Xu?"

"Holy crap! Is this Mr. Xu? So handsome and tall? He must be at least 1.9 meters tall!"

"He's shown his face several times already, I recognized him immediately. But seriously, this guy is seriously handsome!"

"He's more than just handsome! Look at how foreign internet users describe him: a king-like man, a god, a king from a superpower, damn it, are the evaluations really that exaggerated?"

"Really? Is this just some marketing ploy? How do I access it from outside the internet? I don't know how to bypass the Great Firewall, please teach me!"

The topic sparked heated discussions online in China, and the name "Mr. Xu" once again became a trending topic.

He even caused quite a stir on the internet throughout East and Southeast Asia.

This is the first time the Western world has given such a high level of evaluation to a person of Asian descent.

King!
God!

The most masculine and charismatic superman.

Wait for these.

They didn't even give Xu Lin a negative review.

It is important to know that, among the three major races, the yellow race has always been suppressed in the Western world.

Throughout the entire world of people of Asian descent, it has always been China that has been supporting them.

Coupled with information cocoons, many people in the Western world believe that people of Asian descent, especially Chinese people, are the kind of people who bow and scrape to white people with squinty eyes.

Don't assume that information cocoons don't exist in foreign countries just because they don't have the internet or firewalls.

Information cocoons are ubiquitous.

Western capitalists control almost 90% of the world's media.

What is this concept?
In other words, whatever the Western media says can be taken as fact; it's that exaggerated.

Now, the appearance of a fully-leveled Asian person in the world's view is bound to cause a sensation.

Xu Lin, as the person involved, is currently unaware of what's happening online.

However, when he officially left the airport, reporter Grace had just posted about it on Facebook.

Xu Lin hailed a taxi and asked the driver to take him to the best hotel in the area.

Abroad, you can do whatever makes you comfortable.

He had 200 million RMB in his pocket, which, converted to US dollars...

"Damn it, if you convert that to dollars, I only have less than 28 million?"

Xu Lin realized for the first time that he didn't seem to be rich at all.

He doesn't even have thirty million US dollars!
"Let's see if we can find a way to make money. Otherwise, we won't have enough to cover the costs of training the AI ​​later."

after an hour.

InterContinental Hotel, downtown Los Angeles.

Xu Lin, dressed in a suit, looked like a king. Before he even reached the hotel entrance, the white security guard at the door came out to greet him immediately.

"Sir, this way please."

Xu Lin, with an aloof demeanor, simply hummed in response.

The security guard led him to the elevator.

Xu Lin entered the elevator, and the security guard pressed the 70 button for him.
The hotel lobby is on the 70th floor.

Despite being 70 stories high, it only takes 40 seconds to get there.

Xu Lin stepped out of the elevator.

In the lobby, as soon as he appeared, everyone's eyes were drawn to him.

This man is absolutely top-notch.

No one can help but focus their attention on him!

"Sir, can I help you?"

The white man at the front desk asked politely.

Xu Lin: "Get me one of the top suites here."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." Xu Lin quickly booked the room.

He only brought his mobile phone, bank card, passport, and a USB drive containing a lot of his data on this trip.

You can buy clothes right here.

There's also a computer in the suite.

charger?
Isn't that simple?
Xu Lin always traveled light.

Xu Lin took a quick shower and then asked the hotel butler to bring up the food.

After a quick and easy meal, Xu Lin turned on his computer.

It was already evening in Los Angeles.

How can I infiltrate this country?

Xu Lin began to ponder.

He has arrived in Melika, but don't think that just because you've come to this country you've entered it.

Just like Jiangdu, Jiangdu only becomes Jiangdu if you have money; if you don't have money, Jiangdu has nothing to do with you.

The same goes for Meilika. If you have money, this is your paradise, and you can fully experience what capitalist freedom is all about.

Instructions: How should I infiltrate this country?
Moon Goddess: You may attend a technology dinner.

The Moon Goddess opened a news article.

Xu Lin then saw that there would be a technology investment dinner at a large hotel in Los Angeles the next night.

It was a dinner party for a group of scientists, researchers, and investors.

"This dinner party sounds good. How about tomorrow night?"

Xu Lin didn't do anything tonight either.

He went to bed early, and that night was when his photos went viral online and were later circulated back in China.

Xu Lin didn't pay attention either.

The next day, he saw the message from Ms. Ren and the others and told Xu Lin about it.

He became an internet sensation, both on and off the internet.

Xu Lin didn't feel anything about it.

These things were nothing more than trivial matters to him.

During the day, Xu Lin went to buy a new high-end suit.

He'll be staying here for a while, so he changes his suit every day.

He was also wearing a black suit, a complete set, including his leather shoes.

The time soon came to afternoon.

Xu Lin changed into a new suit and styled his hair into a handsome slicked-back look with hair clay and hairspray.

It's not slicked-back hair, just a simple slicked-back style, but it still shows the forehead.

This way, Xu Lin will appear a little more mature.

He was nineteen years old, and his face still looked a bit childish.

Soon, Xu Lin arrived at the grand hotel.

The entire hotel was also booked out.

There were many cars outside, and the people getting out were all dressed in suits of various colors, while the women were dressed in women's suits or other formal attire.

"It seems like you need an invitation to get in?"

Xu Lin noticed that many people were holding invitations.

How could he get in without an invitation?

Don't worry.

A truly capable man will definitely get in.

Xu Lin was seen embracing a beautiful white lady at the scene.

Hollywood-level beauties.

She had an invitation.

"Didn't you bring an invitation?"

"Obviously, I don't have an invitation, but I think you won't refuse to bring me along."

"of course."

The lady smiled and said, "You are very charming!"

Xu Lin: "You too."

The wealthy woman: "Could we have a pleasant date tonight?"

"Madam, you're being greedy! What if your husband finds out?"

"My husband and I are divorced."

"That's a really regrettable thing."

Xu Lin patted, touched, and scratched.

Her buttocks.

This beautiful lady doesn't wear underwear.

Why aren't you wearing underwear?

"I don't like wearing underwear."

The reason was surprisingly simple and unpretentious.

"You seem to be a beautiful woman with a unique personality!"

He patted the wealthy woman's large buttocks; Xu Lin would not look down on women who don't wear underwear.

He successfully slipped in.

"Could you tell me your name?"

You can call me Young Master Xu!

The name "Xu Gongzi" is pronounced using Chinese pinyin.

"Young Master Xu?"

"Correct."

Xu Lin released her. "Thank you, Madam. I need to see if there's a more beautiful lady here!"

"Go!"

The noblewoman did not reject him.

Xu Lin waved to her with his back turned, and then went somewhere else.

"Baroness, you actually let this strange man violate your buttocks? Good heavens!"

Another noblewoman appeared beside her in surprise.

The wealthy woman smiled and said, "Don't you like this kind of man?"

Another noblewoman said with a gleam in her eyes, "He's like a king. I almost had a physical reaction. I really want to sleep with him!"

"Yes, he is a king, a very special man. I have never seen a man of this caliber before!"

The wealthy woman nodded, watching Xu Lin walk away, "I wonder what kind of woman could possibly have him, even for just one night!"

"What do you call it?"

Xu Lin actually found a foreign woman who was even more stunning than the elegant lady he had just met.

Many men tried to chat her up, but the foreign woman ignored them and just sat there.

This woman has a strong presence; she's the kind of powerful woman who wins in female competition and also triumphs in fierce male competition.

In conclusion: Awesome men would all want to conquer her.

"Tilin Ekaterina!"

The other party replied.

"Should I call you Tilin, or Ekaterina?"

Xu Lin sat down.

Catherine II, also known as Catherine the Great, was a very powerful woman in world history.

"Tilin!"

Tilly asked, "You look very special. What's your name?"

"Young Master Xu!"

"Chinese?"

"Correct."

"You're an investor too?"

"Strictly speaking, I am a scientist."

"A scientist? You don't seem like one. What inventions or creations have you made?"

"My inventions have not yet been made public."

"So what field are you researching?"

"AI."

"This field is too broad. Which specific sub-field are you referring to?"

"Intelligent life!"

"Intelligent life?"

Tilin asked in surprise, "As far as I know, intelligent life is not something that can be achieved in this era, is it?"

"Maybe I can?"

"you can?"

"of course."

Xu Lin said, "Could you extend your hands, palms up?"

Tilin did as she was told.

Xu Lin also stretched out his hands and placed them on the other person's hands. Then, he began to write words on the other person's palms with his two index fingers.

One side writes: Tilin.

On the other side: Ekaterina.

Simultaneously.

Of course, it's all in English.

"Multitasking?"

Tilin was surprised.

"No!"

Xu Lin: "It is to do four things at once, but I only have two hands, so I can't show you how to do four things at once."

"Doing four things at once?"

Tilly was even more surprised and skeptical.

Xu Lin exuded confidence: "Among all living humans, I am probably the smartest person!"

"How can I trust you?"

"Of course, let's be friends first, and then we can get to know each other better."

Xu Lin said he wanted to shake her hand.

Tilin shook hands with him.

Tilin's beautiful eyes sparkled as she said, "You have a very special aura; you are the most unique Asian I have ever seen."

“You are also the most beautiful white woman I have ever seen,” Xu Lin said.

"Thank you for the compliment." Tilin nodded.

She sat there, legs crossed.

She was wearing a white dress with a slit, her long legs were very white and beautiful, and the scene inside was vaguely visible, arousing a desire to peek inside.

She is also very tall, probably at least 1.75 meters.

Of course, she also has a fantastic figure.

She is also a woman of historical and super-star status.

Her face is also very three-dimensional and stunning.

Tilin said, "I'm an investor, and I'm here tonight to see if there are any technological advancements worth investing in."

Xu Lin: "What a coincidence, I'm here to find investors."

Tilly: "How many do you want?"

"US dollars, starting at one billion!"

RMB, starting at seven billion!
This is a very large sum of money, and Xu Lin was just giving a random number without being able to determine the exact amount.

Of course, the more the better.

Training artificial intelligence requires a lot of money, it can be a bottomless pit.

Tilly: "If it works out, I'm willing to invest in you."

"It's not a 'what if,' it's definitely going to happen."

Xu Lin's tone was firm.

"You seem very confident."

Tilin praised, "I like your confidence as a man."

"Thanks for the compliment."

Xu Lin remained quite calm.

He sat there, exuding an aura of supreme power and dominance.

Tilin also has a strong presence.

However, Xu Lin is stronger.

The two sat there, one on each side, like the host and hostess of the hall.

Everyone was looking over, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

I think both of these people are very special, especially the one who is of Asian descent.

Xu Lin picked up a cigar from the table.

Snapped!
Tilin lit it for him; it was a vintage lighter, and she lit it directly by opening the cap. Tilin's movements were smooth and effortless.

"Thanks!"

“You give me the feeling that you’re not a scientist, you even seem like a con artist, but I’m willing to believe you, you’re special,” Tilin said.

"Scientist is just one of my identities."

"What are your other identities?"

Xu Lin thought for a moment and then uttered a sentence:
"Male leader!"

"Male leader? What's that?"

"In primitive society, the greatest reliance of mankind was strength. Only by having a strong physique and corresponding strength could they fight against nature and obtain food. It was similar to the social system of lions, where the strong became the leaders of the tribe. Thus, the strongest man became the leader."

Later, as humanity developed intelligence, it became possible to use tools to hunt larger animals. Strength was no longer the sole criterion for leadership; instead, men with wisdom became leaders. I think you can extrapolate from this.

"I can understand that, but what about you? What do you have?"

Tilin pressed on with great interest.

"Brain, appearance, and the ability to easily acquire money and even power."

Xu Lin said, "As a trinity, I am able to act as a male leader."

"Which of these three factors do you think is the most important?" Tilin continued to ask.

Xu Lin pointed to his brain.

"brain?"

"Humans have been able to stand out from all other animals, even defeat those animals with powerful natural forces, become the dominant species on Earth, and create a brilliant civilization, all thanks to their intelligence. Therefore, the brain is undoubtedly the most important thing, and all of humanity's great power comes from the brain!"

I agree with your point of view.

"Thank you for your recognition."

Xu Lin flicked his cigarette ash.

"let's go."

At that moment, Tilin suddenly said.

"Leaving so soon?"

Xu Lin thought to himself, "I haven't even had a sip of the red wine yet."

"Now that I've met someone who wants to study intelligent life, there's no need to stay at this technology dinner any longer. I have high hopes for you."

"Ok."

Xu Lin didn't say much, casually took a bottle of red wine, and then left the venue with the other party.

Xu Lin followed her to the parking lot.

Tilin is probably 1.8 meters tall, a very tall Western woman.

Moreover, she's a stunningly beautiful foreign woman, probably around twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

"I feel like you have some Eastern ancestry?"

Xu Lin was puzzled. Tilin's appearance had a Chinese feel to it, and she wasn't a completely foreign woman.

“My maternal grandfather’s father was Chinese, an immigrant back then, or as you would call him, an overseas Chinese.”

"I see."

My maternal grandfather's father, if you count it, was probably several decades or even a hundred years ago.

Damn, we're having Western food so early?

Moreover, judging from Tilin's appearance, according to the rules of genetics, her ancestors could not have been ugly, so her maternal grandfather's father most likely ate top-notch Western food!

This truly enhances our national prestige!
When will I be able to enjoy a top-notch Western meal and bring glory to my country?
