Zerg: I ​​was picked up by the cold and beautiful Major General at the start of the game.

The comment section under the post refreshed at an astonishing speed:

"Ahhh! I knew it! The Loran couple is real! They won't be defeated!"

"The official statement has been released! The slap in the face came too quickly! Does Carlos's face hurt?"

"Dr. Parks is an authority! If he says there's improvement, there definitely is! We await the Major General's return!"

"Heh, words are no proof. Who knows if this is just a smokescreen to keep your job? Show me the evidence!"

"Is the person upstairs a paid troll hired by Carlos? Can't stand seeing worms do well?"

"If that's true, that's great! The regrets in the movie won't happen again!"

"While I really hope Major General Ailand can wake up, the problem of his mental breakdown isn't something that can be easily resolved, is it?"

"Yes, this is a problem that the Imperial Research Institute hasn't been able to solve for many years. Major General Ailand can solve it?"

"Dr. Parks is very capable, but he can't compare to the bigwigs at the Imperial Academy of Sciences, can he?"

"Yes, I have serious doubts."

……

The Zerg who supported Elander and Linlo were overjoyed, as if they had been given a shot of adrenaline.

The opposing side then began demanding more specific "evidence," and the two sides continued their clash on a new level.

There are even more questions, questioning whether a mental state that has already collapsed can be restored.

Lin Luo's public statement has made the situation even more unpredictable...

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Buzzing..."

"Lin Luo, is what you said on the StarNet true?" Theodore's voice came through eagerly as soon as the call connected.

"Will Ayland really wake up before his job retention period ends?"

Lin Luo shrugged, his tone relaxed: "It's true."

He paused, then continued, "However, it's true that I will wake up, but as for exactly when I will wake up, well..."

"Huh?" Theodore raised his voice on the other end, sounding somewhat speechless.

"Then why were you so certain on the StarNet? 'You'll definitely wake up'?"

"Of course we need to be firm," Lin Luo said matter-of-factly.

"First, I have to believe it myself without a doubt before others can possibly believe it."

"Tch!" Theodore scoffed, but his tone quickly softened.

"But no matter what, Aland has really improved, right? Congratulations, you've finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel."

He spoke sincerely, with a hint of playful teasing.

"Yes, it has indeed improved. Thank you for your congratulations."

Lin Luo accepted with a smile, then changed the subject: "But you don't need to come and celebrate with me this time."

"Hmm? Oh..." Theodore seemed taken aback for a moment, then readily complied.

"Then let's not drink alcohol; a verbal celebration will do."

"Buzz—"

Lin Luo's terminal vibrated again, indicating that a new communication request had been received.

"I have a call coming in, I'll hang up now, Theodore."

"Okay, hang up!"

An elderly man with a solemn expression appeared on the screen; he was Dean Tynes of the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

"Dean?" Lin Luo was somewhat surprised.

"Good day, Your Excellency Lin Luo." Dean Tynes's tone carried a hint of barely perceptible urgency.

"I saw your post on the StarNet about Major General Ailand's mental state showing signs of improvement. Is this accurate?"

Lin Luo met the other person's probing gaze and answered frankly:

"Yes, Dean, Dr. Parks' latest test data shows that Aland's mental sea is indeed more stable than before, and there have been positive changes."

"This...this is unbelievable!"

Dean Tynes' eyes widened slightly behind his glasses, and he immediately made a request.

"Your Excellency, I know this may be somewhat presumptuous, but could you allow the Academy of Sciences to send an expert team to conduct a comprehensive examination of the Major General's condition?"

"I assure you that the entire process will be non-invasive and will not cause any secondary harm to the Major General!"

"We simply hope to obtain firsthand data, which may be of great significance in understanding the mechanisms of mental collapse and repair!"

Lin Luo pondered for a moment.

He understood that the Academy's purpose was not only to care about Eland, but also about the scientific research value that this breakthrough might bring.

But this is also an opportunity for a more authoritative institution to confirm Alande's improvement, which can effectively refute external doubts.

"Yes," Lin Luo nodded. "I hope your tests will find more ways to help Ailand wake up."

Dean Tynes looked grateful:

"Thank you very much for your understanding and support, Your Excellency! We will visit you tomorrow morning, is that alright?"

"Okay, I'll get ready," Lin Luo agreed.

"Alright, then I won't bother you any longer, Your Excellency." Dean Tynes bowed respectfully and then disconnected the communication.

On the other end of the communication line, in the office of the President of the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

"Tains, how credible do you think His Excellency Lin Luo's statement is?"

The one asking the question was Herbert, the Minister of the Imperial Medical Department, whose brow was furrowed.

Dean Tynes turned around, his tone cautious:

"Based on my limited previous interactions with Lord Lin Luo, he impressed me as sincere and resolute."

"I don't think he's the kind of person who would spout nonsense or spread false information."

"But, Tynes," Minister Herbert shook his head, his tone resolute.

"We both know that all existing medical theories and cases demonstrate that no worm can spontaneously regain its vitality after its mental sea has completely collapsed! This defies common sense!"

He paused, his tone carrying a hint of disdain:

"Moreover, I have learned about the so-called 'experimental therapy' that Parks has been insisting on."

"Forgive my bluntness, but in the face of such severe psychological trauma, those superficial methods are theoretically incapable of producing any significant effect!"

Dean Tynes pushed up his glasses, the light and shadow reflecting coldly off his lenses:

"That's why, Herbert, we need to personally confirm whether Major General Eland has truly shown a miraculous improvement, and whether Dr. Parks' efforts have truly found a path we never imagined."

His gaze deepened:

"If this is true... it will overturn our current understanding, and if it is false..." He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was self-evident.

This test will be a crucial verification.

The atmosphere in the Second Prince's study was tense.

The second prince tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingertips, producing a rhythmic, soft sound.

He didn't raise his eyes, but only uttered a question from his throat that carried a sense of pressure:

"Um?"

The subordinate, head bowed in reporting, tensed almost imperceptibly, his voice becoming more cautious:

"Your Highness, we have verified this repeatedly. It is true that Major General Ailand's mental state had completely collapsed. The authoritative appraisal report from the Imperial Medical Department is also clear and accurate."

"Secretary Herbert and his team still have a low opinion of Dr. Parks's insistence on treatment, considering it nothing more than a futile struggle."

The air seemed to grow even heavier.

The second prince finally raised his eyes, his gaze falling on his subordinates. The invisible mental pressure caused fine beads of sweat to seep from their foreheads.

"Then," the second prince's voice was cold and hard,

"Now, how do you explain what Lin Luo said?"
