the next day.

Xu Lin and Fernandi arrived at a hotel on the Isle of Man to attend a high-end party.

Xu Lin was dressed casually today, but it still couldn't diminish his aura.

After going abroad, his buffs will automatically be maxed out.

Actually, this buff has already begun to assimilate with Xu Lin, but it hasn't reached its maximum yet.

However, if you're going abroad, then it's all set to the maximum.

Standing there, he exudes an aura of grandeur and majesty.

Therefore, even before he spoke, everyone felt that this man was very powerful.

It's not because he's Young Master Xu.

Simply because people felt that this person was very powerful, both as a man and as a biological being, and that he was not on the same level as them.

Note that it is "human beings," not "person," as the former refers to a species.

"Let me introduce you all. This gentleman next to me is none other than Mr. Xu, a world-renowned artificial intelligence scientist!"

Fernandi introduced himself to everyone in English.

At this moment, the group of men and women that Xu Lin saw were wealthy and influential people from Europe.

However, they are not on the rich list.

People like Fernandinho, who do business in the gray area, won't appear on the so-called rich list, but he is richer and more powerful than many of the wealthy.

"Young Master Xu, seeing is believing!"

A man was the first to offer a handshake.

Xu Lin: "Hello."

Then, everyone shook hands with him.

If someone is just a scientist, these wealthy people won't think much of it. They simply see him as someone of value who can help them make money. For example, if Xu Lin were just a simple scientist, these wealthy people would invest in him and he would simply become their money-making tool.

Businessmen are driven by profit; they go wherever there is money to be made, and they don't even have a concept of nationality, let alone a foreign scientist like you.

Science may sound lofty and sophisticated, capable of driving national development and even advancing human civilization, but many research projects die before they even begin without investment. It's impossible for all projects to be funded by the government; in fact, a large number of projects come from the private sector.

It's that simple.

But Xu Lin is different. With him sitting here, who would dare to look down on him?

Everyone felt that this scientist was extraordinary; he didn't seem like a typical scientist.

Xu Lin laughed and said, "I heard from Fernandin that you have a betting game here?"

"Yes, Young Master Xu."

A female tycoon said, "Our prize pool is $100 million. Everyone can bet on a car fleet. Whoever bets correctly wins the $100 million."

She paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "We're just having fun."

"Young Master Xu, have a drink."

A wealthy man personally poured him wine.

"Ok, thanks."

Xu Lin picked up his wine glass, made a toasting gesture to everyone, and then took two sips.

"Young Master Xu, how about we take a gamble?"

Someone spoke.

Xu Lin countered, "How do I participate?"

"Invest ten million US dollars."

Fernandi said, "With ten of us, the prize pool is a hundred million dollars."

The other person said, "Whoever wins takes all the money."

Xu Lin: "How many drivers are there in total?"

"Thirty people, divided into groups of three. If one person in a group arrives at the finish line first and bets on the correct group, they can take all the money."

"If I get involved, won't we not have enough people?"

Xu Lin stated.

“Young Master Xu, there are many excellent drivers on the Isle of Man. You can find someone anytime.”

"I see." Xu Lin said, suddenly realizing.

He swirled his wine glass and began to ponder.

His initial idea was to find three drivers to participate in races and win money for him.

But Xu Lin thought about it and felt it was unreliable.

Because he couldn't guarantee that one of the three drivers would come in first place and ultimately win him money.

This isn't a good deal.

Then, Xu Lin thought of himself.

Why don't he do it himself?
Anyone with even a slight knowledge of the Isle of Man TT has probably heard that this competition is a life-or-death affair.

At such high speeds, even with full equipment and all kinds of protection, if something goes wrong, the worst that can happen is losing an arm or a leg, the worst is ending up in the ICU, and the most serious is sacrificing oneself for one's dream. Here, it's not uncommon for people to die from playing games.

Xu Lin, however, thought of himself.

First, he has excellent physical fitness.

Secondly, and most importantly, he has a very, very strong brain.

The biggest difference between humans and other animals is that humans have a powerful brain; otherwise, they would not have been able to prevail in nature.

Every animal has its own talent, and for humans, that talent is the brain.

What if a person had an extremely powerful brain?
Therefore, he can rely on his brain's computing power and reaction speed, among other talents, to avoid all dangers in advance or in time.

For example, at extremely high speeds, a Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse comes charging straight at you.

For a normal person encountering this situation, there is only one outcome: to go directly to meet their ancestors.

But this person with an extremely powerful brain is different. He can react in less than 0.5 seconds, extricate himself at the last second, complete a perfect dodge, and maintain complete control.

Q: Do such people exist?

Of course it exists.

He is Xu Lin!
Therefore, Xu Lin already had his own ideas after thinking about this.

He wants to participate in the competition in person.

After having this idea, Xu Lin felt that winning money was no longer the main thing; the main thing was that he wanted to challenge himself.

So Xu Lin said, "Isn't ten million US dollars too little? How about we take a big gamble and each of us take fifty million dollars?"

"Fifty million US dollars?"

"Yes, what do you all think?"

Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.

Fernandi spoke first: "I think it's okay, ten million dollars is indeed not a lot."

"Alright, fifty million dollars!"

Everyone responded.

Gambling in moderation is harmless, excessive gambling is detrimental to health, and reckless gambling leads to ruin.

Fifty million dollars, let's put it somewhere between small and large.

Fernandi then looked at Xu Lin: "Xu, would you like me to introduce you to some drivers?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Lin said something surprising: "No need, I'll do it myself."

"You'll do it yourself?" Fernandi thought he had misheard.

"Young Master Xu, are you going to do it yourself?"

"This is amazing, Young Master Xu, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

“These kinds of motorcycle races are prone to accidents; we’re just playing around.”

Everyone expressed their opinions.

Xu Lin said calmly, "It's nothing. I also enjoy riding motorcycles. Don't think I'm just a scientist, everyone."

"Hey!"

“Young Master Xu, if something were to happen to someone like you, it would be a very serious loss for your country, and even a huge loss for the entire scientific community.”

someone said.

"I'll be fine," Xu Lin said confidently.

"Come on, everyone, let's drink!"

Xu Lin raised his glass, indicating that he wanted to clink glasses with everyone.

So everyone toasted.

The drinking session lasted for more than two hours.

Xu Lin wasn't just drinking; these wealthy people also discussed business matters.

For example, investing in gene research and organ transplantation.

Xu Lin remained unmoved.

These two fields are currently still a gray area in the scientific community, especially genetics.

While organ transplantation is subject to legal concerns on the surface, many problems arise behind the scenes.

Because many old things that don't want to die are waiting to have their parts replaced.

For example, organ trafficking is most prevalent in places like Southeast Asia and the Americas.

Privately, these businesses naturally involve investments, given the market demand.

Xu Lin was not interested in this.

He's not a profit-driven businessman without any moral compass.

"If I have the chance, I might study genes in the future." Xu Lin felt that his brain was powerful enough, and perhaps he would study it in a few years.

In addition, during the dinner, everyone asked Xu Lin if they could invest in his artificial intelligence business.

Actually, compared to investing in genes or organs, the most valuable investment in the world right now is to live a life of luxury with Mr. Xu. These rich people are very shrewd.

But Xu Lin refused.

What projects can he invest in?
Starting a company next year?

Xu Lin wouldn't let anyone invest; he had his own money and didn't need outsiders to get involved.

After eating and drinking their fill, Xu Lin and Fernandi left.

With only the two of them left, Fernandi couldn't help but advise, "Xu, participating in such a high-risk motorcycle race is too dangerous for you. You might end up in the intensive care unit."

"It doesn't matter."

“Fernandi, don’t underestimate me. I’m not an ordinary person. But you might not understand what I mean. I mean, from a biological point of view, I’m not an ordinary person.”

Xu Lin couldn't very well say that his brain was exceptionally powerful.

Fernandi most likely cannot understand these words.

Without experiencing the immense power of the brain, humans cannot comprehend how a human brain, when powerful enough, can avert all dangers at the last minute.

In terms of time scale, it takes less than a second, or even less than half a second.

Humans can only reach this speed, even slightly, under the influence of adrenaline in extremely dangerous situations.

For example, if a large truck were to run over you, in such an extremely dangerous situation, a person might be controlled by adrenaline, and their nervous system would automatically make a rapid reaction to dodge. After escaping danger, the person might not even understand how they did it; they would only feel lingering fear and think they were lucky to be alive.

But Xu Lin uses them freely.

Therefore, Xu Lin wanted to challenge himself and give his life some exciting experiences.

“Xu, I can’t see through you.” Fernandi gave Xu Lin a deep look.

In the afternoon, Xu Lin returned to the hotel.

There is a time difference between Berlin and Jiangdu.

It was already evening back home.

Xu Lin chatted with the older sister, mainly to let her know he was safe.

It’s different in the past.

Xu Lin needs to be careful when going abroad now. There might be a sniper on a rooftop near where Xu Lin lives.

Chi Linyue was worried about this.

Xu Lin reassured her: "Calm down, I won't get into any trouble. If I were to get into trouble, it wouldn't be abroad; I would have gotten into trouble even in China."

“My dad said that you have to be careful when you use the toilet outside, because someone might take your excrement to study it.”

"It can't be that outrageous, can it?"

Xu Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This claim is not entirely unfounded.

Chi Linyue explained to him in detail that some intelligence agencies would try to collect the excrement of important figures, such as feces, in order to analyze the person's physical condition, including whether he was sick, how many years he had left to live, or even to research genetic weapons specifically designed to target him.

Therefore, when some big shots go abroad, their excrement is brought back to China by designated personnel.

Xu Lin: "I was so scared that I immediately flushed the toilet several times as soon as I got in."

Chi Linyue: "Anyway, be careful."

"Ok."

"Where are you now?"

"Isle of Man, let's watch someone else's motorcycle race tomorrow."

Are motorcycle races exciting?

"I don't know, I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard it's pretty exciting."

Xu Lin chatted with her for more than ten minutes about the Isle of Man TT, and then talked about other things for another half hour.

Then it was time for Chi Linyue to go to bed, and the two ended their chat.

the next day.

Xu Lin and Fernandi arrived at the starting point of the race.

Their motorcycle races are not the official Isle of Man TT.

The more formal Isle of Man TT has categories such as Superbike and Supersport, and usually involves more than a hundred participants.

Xu Lin's team only had about thirty people.

But quite a few people came to watch.

In the Isle of Man, motorcyclists come here every day to work up a sweat.

Besides, there aren't that many places in the world where they can drive at full speed without any scruples.

The Isle of Man is one example.

Because the competition was so exciting, quite a few people came to watch.

"Xu, which car do you want?"

Fernandi, come here.

Xu Lin and his team were competing in the Superbike category, one of the two most prestigious events in the Isle of Man TT.

The reason it's called the Superbike category is that the vehicles must weigh at least 165 kilograms and allow for maximum vehicle modifications. The competition rules require participants to complete six laps around the Isle of Man.

In addition, a lap is 60.7 kilometers long and usually takes 17 to 20 minutes to complete.

Xu Lin glanced at the motorcycles; he knew nothing about them.

But Xu Lin saw the BMW M1000RR.

He owns one of these motorcycles.

However, this one has been modified for the Superbike category.

Simply put, this car is more powerful than the one Xu Lin owns.

"Let's take this one!"

Xu Lin sat down directly, placing his hands on the handles, feeling the familiar sensation.

He twisted the handlebars and spun around three times, the bike making a piercing, rumbling noise and leaving obvious marks on the ground.

This car has been modified, so it's very powerful.

People with insufficient arm strength really can't hold on, let alone drive it out. At high speeds, it might even throw a person off when turning a corner.

"Xu, how are you feeling?" Fernandi asked.

"very good."

Xu Lin nodded.

At the same time, the staff brought Xu Lin a cycling outfit.

This cycling outfit wasn't custom-made. After all, Xu Lin was competing halfway through the season, so two custom-made outfits wouldn't have been enough. He had to find something that was about right.

The set that the staff brought was worth more than 500,000 yuan and could provide excellent protection for the driver.

But Xu Lin said, "Thanks, but I don't need this kind of clothing for protection."

what?
The staff was stunned for a moment.

"Sir, if you don't wear these clothes, the probability of injury or death during the competition will increase, and even the lightest injury will be serious," the staff member hurriedly said.

"Xu, don't you want these clothes?"

Fernandi thought he had misheard.

"Correct."

Xu Lin remained calm.

"Xu, this kind of competition is very dangerous."

Fernandi reiterated, "Not taking precautions is tantamount to gambling with God's life!"

"Don't panic."

Xu Lin does not need special cycling clothing for protection.

He didn't even need to wear a helmet.

So when he appeared at the starting line of the track in a modified BMW M1000RR, both the spectators and the riders thought he was crazy.

Some even wondered if the man was an idiot.

At the speed of the Isle of Man TT race, if you can finish a lap in eighteen minutes, then you can run about ten kilometers in three minutes. At that speed, would Xu Lin survive for three minutes?
Xu Lin didn't care about the gazes of these people; his expression remained as calm as ever.

He knew that, theoretically, this kind of competition was no problem for his super brain.

He wanted to challenge himself.

Without any protection.

But assuming he falls without any protection, could he die or be seriously injured?
Xu Lin felt that, given his physical condition, he was unlikely to be seriously injured, but minor injuries were still possible.

Since it's a minor injury...

That's nothing.

Following a gunshot.

Thirty-one motorcycles suddenly shot off.

Including Xu Lin's.

"My God, this Chinese man is insane!"

"He might die here!"

"That's incredibly reckless! The key is that he's incredibly daring!"

May God bless him!
