Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

Chadwick believed that getting seven geniuses to get along would be ten times more difficult than studying the theory of imaginary numbers!

He didn't understand and was deeply shocked.

Lin Yi said: Hey~ What is a social genius? You just need to make connections, broaden your horizons, visit more people's homes, get involved in more things, and do some projects together that yield great results (like Yiting), and then you'll gradually become familiar with them.

Chadwick: "Time has left no trace on you. Long time no see, Mr. Screw Goom, you're still as charming as ever."

Screw Goom: "Long time no see, Mr. Chadwick. I never imagined our reunion would be like this."

Chadwick sighed, "It's all in the past."

(The genius team is expected to be expanded by one. It would be such a waste if Chadwick really died. He was a genius who specialized in the study of imaginary numbers.)

Chapter 341 Worries about Inequality in Position

Chadwick's gaze swept over the other geniuses, and Louis Fleming, with good manners, stepped back a few paces to allow them to greet him.

Nguyen Mai: "I am Nguyen Mai from #82, specializing in bioengineering research, and I am exploring the proposition of the essence of life."

Chadwick: "Ha, Ms. Ruan Mei... I also visited Ms. Acha, who lives in seclusion in the Mechanical City, but unfortunately I missed you."

Chadwick did go online after he recovered, but not often. He preferred the peace and quiet of being alone, like just now.

Ruan Mei: "Well, geniuses are all busy, but it's not too late to get to know each other properly now."

Ruan Mei nodded calmly, acknowledging this stranger she was meeting for the first time.

Abis guessed that Chadwick might have doubts about his seat, so he preemptively greeted him: "Abis, Abis O. Scissors, #30 of the 'Genius Club,' seats after #29 need to be rotated."

Chadwick: "I didn't expect there to be such a secret. I wonder about the relationship between Ms. Abis and Siskar? Of course... if it involves privacy and I can't answer, you can ignore my curiosity."

Abis didn't care about these things: "It's nothing. I am the continuation of the wisdom of #29 Siskar, but I am also an independent individual. The invitation from the wise one is the best proof of that."

Chadwick: "So, 'The Genius Club' #79... no, according to Ms. Abyss, it should be #80 Calderon Chadwick, greetings."

Yu Qingtu said listlessly, "Yo~ Hello, I'm Yu Qingtu, #56 of the 'Genius Club'."

"We should be considered acquaintances. I still remember that you asked me to give you the memory-blocking drug."

Chadwick: "Thank you for your help, Ms. Yu Qingtu! It's a pity I haven't been able to thank you in person before."

Yu Qingtu was listless because that bastard Lin Yi had actually gone to Yi Ting and brought back a lot of extreme emotions!

How much? Let's put it this way: after being completely 'blended,' the 'hundred flavors of life' could fill a whole cauldron!

When divided up, each person gets more than ten pots!

Is this thing so easy to control? Are they treating people like they're chasing stars?!

Chasing Stars: "*Politeness*"

Yu Qingtu: "No need for thanks. Rather than saying that the blocking drug worked, it's more accurate to say that your personal will played a role."

"Is it more like a placebo than a product of your will? At least the blocking medication won't continue to work after you die."

Chadwick: "..."

Yu Qingtu: "Alright, stop making that weird face. You're looking for medicine instead of wine? Your purpose is so serious, it's not serious at all."

"Here you go~ When in doubt, why not have a drink? I'll treat you to a drink."

Yu Qingtu made full use of the time spent talking with Yi Ting earlier and the short time after arriving at "Pinocchio" to 'blend' a small cup of "the flavors of life".

For those who feel lost, why not experience life from a third-person perspective and firsthand?

Chadwick accepted the wine with some doubt. How could this Ms. Yu Qingtu be so different from the rumored eccentric and difficult-to-get-along-with person?

But he drank it without any hesitation. Could it possibly harm him?

Chadwick closed his eyes, then opened them again after a couple of seconds, this time with a look of relief and clarity in them.

Dragged along by the "hundred flavors of life," his consciousness sank, and he looked back from a third-person perspective—

Every choice, every flutter of the heart.

It seems that after breaking free from the shackles of 'self', the vision has become clearer?

What has happened cannot be undone or changed.

Chadwick suddenly realized that his downfall was a complete waste of time, and if he regretted his past 'mistakes,' he should use his wisdom to make amends instead of isolating himself in guilt.

Chadwick said gratefully, "Thank you very much, Ms. Yu Qingtu."

Chadwick always felt that there were gloating eyes around him when he was drinking, which turned into disappointed looks after he finished drinking.

Is it like... like the disappointment of having one's foolish prank exposed in a tavern, or is it just an illusion?

Stephen: "Stephen Lloyd...it's alright..."

Stephen was fine when he was with these acquaintances.

Now, Stephen's extreme social anxiety has flared up again when facing unfamiliar people...

Black Tower shook his head and stepped in to help Stephen out: "This is Stephen Lloyd, 'The Genius Club' #85, a kid who just recently became a genius—and he's incredibly socially awkward."

"As for me? The #84 of the 'Genius Club,' the Black Tower Lady, possessing both beauty and wisdom. I wonder if you, who have been lost in this world for so long, recognize me, but I've come to know quite a bit about you while researching the mystery of imaginary number overflow."

Chadwick: "It's my honor."

Lin Yi: "Is it my turn? 'Genius Club' #86 Lin Yi, a...social genius~"

"I was invited to join the 'Genius Club' around the same time as Stephen."

Chadwick: "Hello, Mr. Lin Yi."

Lin Yi: "Actually, I know you quite well, and in some ways we are even very similar. We've both worried about not being worthy of our positions."

"At least when I first became a genius, I didn't think my knowledge or wisdom were enough to be called a genius."

"For this reason, I traveled for a long time, both as a hobby and as an escape. As long as I don't do academic research, others will only think I'm eccentric and won't expose my 'false genius'."

Black Tower crossed his arms and circled around Lin Yi, saying, "Holy crap! No wonder you used to ask such stupid questions all the time."

"I thought you were just joking to lighten the mood, but it turns out that's what it was all about."

Black Tower returned to normal: "Alright, just kidding. Your wisdom and inspiration are beyond question, but if what you said is true... then your progress is truly astounding."

Abyss interjected, "The abbreviation is out!"

Lin Yi: "So this is considered opening? Then Stephen opened it too! The Black Tower opened it too, and your predecessor opened it even more outrageously."

Lin Yi blinked and suddenly remembered that Chadwick was still there. He coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment: "In short, because of my past experiences, I can empathize with Mr. Chadwick's past."

"And the results have undoubtedly proven that I am a genius, and you are a genius too."

Chadwick: "Does this count as approval?"

Lin Yi pondered for a moment: "Perhaps it should be considered gratitude? After all, because of you, no one dares to underestimate a seemingly ordinary genius."

Chapter 342 The company exploded with gold coins!

Lin Yi: "It's a pity... After proving ourselves, we went down different paths. Your morality is admirable!"

In other words, this approach is unacceptable.

Of ten geniuses, nine are arrogant and eight are immoral. Among the eighty-odd geniuses in the world, only one such pure and innocent girl with high conscience and morality has emerged, a rare find in a thousand years.

Lil's morals are not as high as Chadwick's.

Screw Gum: "Mr. Chadwick, I have the utmost respect for your achievements and perseverance."

"I deeply regret what happened to you."

"However, you should also know why we've come?"

At this point, Louis Fleming knew that the important matter had arrived.

Chadwick nodded: "I understand. The company's board of directors came earlier."

"I do not wish for this matter to reignite conflict, causing a war between the 'Genius Club' and the 'Interstellar Peace Corporation,' thus harming more innocent people."

"In that case...my mistake...is even bigger..."

"But I also understand that this is no longer a decision I can make alone. Now, the authority of the 'Genius Club' and the pride of geniuses have been challenged."

"Therefore, although I hope to resolve the issue through peaceful talks as much as possible, all I can do at this moment is remain silent."

Louis Fleming felt a chill run down his spine; this wasn't what they had agreed on.

However, this result is not bad, the only problem is that the potential cost may be much higher.

Fortunately, Dr. Chadwick is indeed a man of high moral character.

otherwise...

Fleming considered the mobility and danger of these geniuses, and then considered the defensive capabilities of his own base, "Pierpoint," and felt that his own base was like a target.

Black Tower: Not that hard to beat.

Lin Yi: It's not that small.

Black Tower sighed lightly, feigning a sigh: "Alas, what a pity, there's no more fighting."

Lin Yi chimed in, "When did our Black Tower lady become so ecstatic? Has she unknowingly been infected by Aha's joy?"

Black Tower: "No, that's not it. I just wanted to test the power of my newly acquired 'Guardian Token'. Is there a better testing ground than real combat?"

The Black Tower emphasized the words "Guardian of the Order," conveying a sense of regret, as if lamenting the toy that had slipped through its fingers.

(Louis Fleming: I know, I know! My dear aunt! There's no need to put any more pressure on me.)

Black Tower: "Chadwick's decision not to pursue the matter leaves room for negotiation, but the act of imprisoning a genius is itself a serious provocation against the 'Genius Club.'"

Lin Yi: "The symbol of wealth, Mr. Louis Fleming, the company's lifetime honorary director, since you say that all mistakes can be converted into an equivalent price."

"Then you can start stating the price you, or rather the price the company, has prepared."

"As you've probably seen, if the offer isn't enough to sway Ms. Black Tower, the consequences could be quite severe..."

Louis Fleming glanced at Screw Gumm.

Screw Gum added at the opportune moment: "I have no way of comforting the Black Tower lady who is in a bad mood."

Good things are often bad.

Louis Fleming, on the other hand, remained calm. What storms hadn't he weathered?

Although the waves were indeed extremely large this time...

Louis Fleming: "Is this the border of dreams? Although it is sparsely populated, it is not impossible for idlers to pass by."

Lin Yi tapped the "Phase Walker" in his hand lightly: "I won't change locations. No idlers will accidentally wander in now."

Louis Fleming took out several items that he had prepared in advance from the spatial storage equipment he carried with him.

Louis Fleming: "The Interstellar Peace Corporation is willing to apologize to the Genius Club for the offense. Please believe in our sincerity."

Louis Fleming first presented an egg-shaped object encased in amber, which was as tall as a person.

It's unclear how precious this egg is, but the amber containing the seal alone is enough to serve as the foundation for the ten members of Stoneheart.

Louis Fleming: "This unique embryo was discovered by the Eastern Journey during a lost voyage, before the establishment of the Interstellar Peace Corporation and during the time of the Amber Queen's support team."

"When it was discovered, it was sealed inside an amber embryo. It may sound unbelievable, but tests have shown that this embryo sealed in amber still retains a faint vitality to this day."

Ruan Mei stared intently at the egg, occasionally frowning as if she had seen something she didn't understand and was confused about.

"Over the years, the place where Dongfang Qixing found this egg has been isolated by the giant wall of the Amber King. It can be said that this is a precious item from the world outside the wall."

"The company has always suspected that this is the embryo of the Twilight Beast. In addition, the amber that seals and isolates it has made the company regard this embryo as a top secret. Now we are using it as one of the ways to apologize."

It can only be said that the company truly lives up to its reputation as a dominant force in the world for over 2000 Amber Ages. Its foundation is indeed profound, as evidenced by its possession of such high-quality products.

It's hard to say about others, but it seems like Ruan Mei has been won over.

Before anyone could react, Louis Fleming took out a uniquely shaped cube module, full of mechanical texture.

Louis Fleming: "This is a memory module of an omnic leader..."

A huge piece of equipment that looks like a production line.

"This was once the production line for 'Machine Emperor' Rupert I. It records an unknown fluctuation that was detected by the Interstellar Peace Corporation's detection equipment but was ignored at the time."

"Unfortunately, the company's research yielded no results whatsoever."
