Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Lin Zichen also swayed his little finger, smiling as he said, “Agreed, we’ll get married after university graduation.”

“Pinky promise…”

“Hang it on a hook…”

“For a hundred years, no changing allowed!”

At this moment, the two of them made a promise, just like they did when they were children.

A bit childish, but very meaningful.

In the evening.

After taking a shower and having dinner, Lin Zichen watched TV in the living room with his parents, occasionally chatting, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

“The genius from Kyoto University has successfully integrated the Black Flame Serpent gene, breaking the record for the youngest four-time Genetic Integrator in the university’s history, and at the same time, has evolved into a high-level Genetic Integrator, breaking the record for the youngest high-level Genetic Integrator at Kyoto University!”

“Machine God Corporation declares that it has initiated the Ascension Plan for the mechanical genius girl, aiming to create a Steel Valkyrie within ten years, with strength comparable to a Rare-level Fighter!”

The evening news was broadcasting, and it came to the stories about the geniuses from Capital City and the mechanical genius girl.

Ever since the mechanical genius girl was successfully treated by Machine God Corporation and became even stronger.

The major media outlets like to bind her and the genius from Capital City together, branding them as the ‘unparalleled duo’ to create a buzz.

Whenever there’s news about one of them, it invariably includes the other for comparison, steering the topic towards a mighty confrontation, spurring debates in the comments section over who is stronger.

“This genius from Kyoto is something else, huh? Just turned twenty and is already a four-time Genetic Integrator and a high-level fighter. Looks like he’s going to rewrite all the records of Kyoto University.”

“And this mechanical genius girl, seems to be only half a year younger than the Kyoto genius, and now they’re claiming that within ten years, they will turn her into a Rare-level Mechanically Modified Human, that is, a Rare-level Mechanically Modified Human before the age of thirty. This is more exaggerated than the other.”

Lin Yansheng commented while watching the news on TV.

Zhang Wanxin gave him a glance: “Don’t know what you’re sighing about, our son and Han Han are also very impressive, why don’t I see you sighing about them?”

After saying that, she continued: “Our son and Han Han are Nanjiang Province’s second-best and top scholar, who knows, once they get to university, they might perform even better than these two, maybe even successfully go through Genetic Fusion five times before they’re twenty, directly breaking the world record!”

Lin Yansheng replied somewhat helplessly: “Wanxin, you’re really exaggerating, there’s no need to be so competitive to the point of disregarding science.”

“So what if it’s not scientific, does that mean it’ll definitely not happen?”

No sooner had she finished speaking than Zhang Wanxin pressed on: “Before the college entrance exams, could you have imagined that Han Han would become the top scholar in Nanjiang Province?”

“Certainly not, right?”

Zhang Wanxin pressed him aggressively: “Stop always talking about what’s scientific and what’s not. This world has many miracles that can’t be explained by science, and I believe miracles will happen to our son and Han Han, is that not allowed?”

Lin Yansheng was left speechless by her rebuttal.

After so many years of marriage, the rational him had never won an argument against the emotional Zhang Wanxin.

Listening to his parents’ argument, Lin Zichen suddenly realized he hadn’t yet told them that he had joined the Tianren Pavilion and was going to pursue the Pureblood Human Path.

Just as he was considering how to broach the subject…

The doorbell at their home rang.

“Ding-dong!”

“Coming!”

Lin Yansheng, who was closest to the door, responded and then stood up to open the door for the visitor outside.

Soon, a series of conversational voices came from outside the door.

“President Ma, what brings you here?”

“I apologize for the disturbance so late in the evening. I came because I wanted to have a talk with Zi Chen about the choice of college.”

President Ma had purposely come late in the evening.

Because people are more emotional at night and more likely to make decisions.

Tonight, he was determined to win Lin Zichen back from Liu Chuanwu.

“Choice of college?”

Lin Yansheng was a bit confused. Hadn’t the college already been chosen quite some time ago? Why would President Ma need to come over to discuss this late at night?

“By the way, here are two Ice Crystal Fish; their taste is exceptionally fresh. They have calming, brain-stimulating, beautifying, and health-preserving effects. They were gifts from one of my graduated students who gave me a lot. I brought two over for you to try.”

President Ma passed over the bag he was carrying to Lin Yansheng, which contained two transparent, frozen fish that looked like ice blocks.

Lin Yansheng received the bag, smiling and saying, “You’re too kind, President Ma.”

“Not at all, it’s just a small token of appreciation.”

“President Ma, Xiao Chen is right here in the living room. Let’s go sit down and chat.”

“Then I’ll be imposing.”

After a brief chat, the two went to sit in the living room.

Noticing that a guest had arrived, Zhang Wanxin, who had just been arguing with Lin Yansheng, seamlessly switched into the role of a wise and virtuous wife.

She expertly brewed tea.

Giving her husband plenty of respect in front of their guest.

Once President Ma was seated, he didn’t rush to discuss college choices with Lin Zichen but began with small talk with the couple.

Finding the atmosphere right, he then turned the conversation to Lin Zichen, with a look of regret: “Zi Chen’s Genetic Fusion compatibility rate is as high as 15%, which indicates an immeasurable future if he follows the Genetic Fusion Path. There’s really no need to go down the Pureblood Human Path, which would be a waste of talent.”

“Tianren Pavilion has good intentions, but their theory about Pure Blood Humans hasn’t shown any substantial progress—it’s a huge pitfall. Zi Chen, if you jump into this pit, it will only harm you,” he continued, looking at Lin Zichen. “Being passionate is a good thing, Zi Chen, but being too hot-headed is not. Listen to my advice, don’t go down the Pureblood Human Path; it will only lead to mediocrity. Better to choose Evolution College instead.”
