The people living in this world heard a piece of news.
Lin Zhen, the hero who saved humanity, the greatest scientist, and the creator of the mechanical body, announced a decision.
He will not be able to enjoy the benefits of a mechanical body and will leave this world after 100 years.
The people were puzzled. They gathered together and started petitioning for Lin Zhen to have an immortal mechanical body.
Even the leaders of the base cities and countries came to ask Lin Zhen to transplant his brain into a mechanical body.
But Lin Zhen rejected all these requests.
Lin Zhen had a good reason to reject all these requests. He could develop a mechanical body based on anyone's brain, but he could not develop his own.
It was just like how fortune-tellers could only predict people's fate but not their own.
Lin Zhen was the creator of the mechanical body, and his words were the truth. No one could refute him.
The people could only cry and wait for Lin Zhen's death.
Lin Zhen had said a few days ago that he had overextended his brain and could only live for 100 years. After 100 years, he would die of old age.
And that day had finally arrived.
*****
Lin Zhen was 99 years, 11 months, and 30 days old.
This was the last day.
In the hospital of Bing City Base City, Lin Zhen was lying on the bed, and the people around him were changing shifts.
The leaders of various countries had arrived to express their condolences for Lin Zhen.
After Lin Zhen's death, the whole world would have a month of bathing and fasting to remember him.
Lin Zhen smiled as he dealt with these officials. His body was in bad shape, and he had to force himself to carry on.
After these irrelevant people left, only his family was left.
A staff member brought in some documents, and Lin Zhen signed them one by one. He left two mechanical bodies for his parents.
After that, he signed another document and left one mechanical body for An Ning.
In the video, An Ning and Lin Zhen had their first long-distance conversation.
"Lin Zhen, in my heart, you have always been an outstanding person. However, I didn't expect you to do this and give me a mechanical body. I am very grateful to you. I wish you all the best. I will live well and miss you."
After watching An Ning's video with a smile, she turned off the television.
His parents were by Lin Zhen's side. Although they were sad about Lin Zhen's departure, they had already calmed down.
After all, he was mentally prepared and could accept it. After all, it was rare for an ordinary person to live to a hundred years old.
His parents were proud of their son and Lin Zhen.
After chatting with his parents for a while, Lin Zhen felt that it was about time. He said to his parents, "Dad, Mom, I'm tired. Can you go out for a while? I want to talk to Master."
His parents knew that Lin Zhen and Elder Chen had a deep relationship. Most of the time, Lin Zhen was with Elder Chen. He even spent more time with Elder Chen than with his parents.
Perhaps it was because their son wanted to say goodbye to Master. His parents got up and left the ward, closing the door.
Only Lin Zhen and Elder Chen were left in the ward.
Elder Chen sat in front of Lin Zhen's bed and looked at him with a slightly sad expression.
"Master …"
Lin Zhen's voice was slightly hoarse.
"My disciple, if you have something to say, just say it. I know that there must be something in your heart that you haven't said. Master is listening."
"First of all, I would like to thank Master for his careful teaching and cultivation. Without Master's years of teaching, I wouldn't have been able to experience such a wonderful and fulfilling life."
With that, Lin Zhen sat up and bowed to Elder Chen.
Elder Chen accepted it with a smile, but there was a trace of unconcealable surprise in his eyes.
"To tell you the truth, Master, I really haven't experienced such a mortal life. This is my flaw, and it is also a step that I must complete. If I don't take this step, my life can't be considered complete."
Elder Chen pondered for a moment. "Then, my disciple, do you feel that you are complete now? Don't you have unfulfilled wishes? "
Lin Zhen smiled. "What are you referring to, Master?"
Elder Chen immediately said, "I heard from your mother that before you learned mechanical technology from me, your dream was to become a Martial Artist. Now, do you still have this dream?"
"A Martial Artist …"
A trace of longing appeared in Lin Zhen's eyes, and then he said slowly, "I do have such a dream, but for so many years, there have been almost no Martial Artists around me, except for those two wooden bodyguards. And to tell you the truth, Master, looking at these two people, I feel that they are two pitiful creatures."
Elder Chen's face revealed a satisfied expression. "That's right, what's so good about Martial Artists? They are nothing more than brutes who fight and kill. What can they contribute to humanity? How can they be compared to us? "
Lin Zhen shook his head. "I'm not talking about that. I feel that they are pitiful because they are frogs in a well. Do they think that they are amazing just because they have cultivated to the War God Realm? They don't know what kind of concepts are above the War God Realm, Immortal Realm, God Transformation, God, Ruler, and so on. "
Elder Chen's expression changed. "What is my disciple talking about? I don't really understand. "
"Hehe! Master, we have already reached this point, why are you still hiding it from me? You don't understand? Then in this world, I'm afraid that there is no one who understands more. "
With that, Lin Zhen, who was on the verge of death, suddenly sat up straight.
"Master, why do I feel calm when I am by your side? Don't you think of practicing martial arts? Can you give me an explanation? "
Elder Chen's expression was calm. "Because my cultivation and state of mind have affected you."
"I'm afraid not. I think Master has the ability to affect people's thinking."
"Lin Zhen, the more you speak, the more confusing it is. I don't understand. I just want to ask you, do you still want to practice martial arts?"
"Hehe! Master, why are you so anxious? You have been acting for a hundred years, why can't you hold it in now? But since you want to know so much, then I will tell your father … "
Lin Zhen's eyes suddenly shone with a divine light!
"I ~ want ~ to ~ learn ~ martial arts! This thought has never changed! "
His words were sonorous and loud!
Following Lin Zhen's words, the surrounding illusion changed abruptly!
Everything began to fade and disappear, except for Elder Chen in front of him!
Elder Chen's face was also somewhat distorted. His tone instantly turned as cold as ice, no longer as gentle as before.
"How did you see through it! This shouldn't be. It's been a hundred years, why haven't you done anything? "
"Hehe! It seems that you have been acting for too long. But you don't know that after acting for so long, there will be a time when the cat is out of the bag … "
Lin Zhen's expression gradually returned to normal, and a vigorous aura emanated from his body.
"Your acting is very good, and it has indeed affected me. It may even have blinded me for the rest of my life. But let me ask you, when we talked about An Ning, how did you tell me that I would not have any regrets? At that time, I had not announced that I would die in a hundred years. Could it be that Master can really predict the future? "
The corner of his mouth curved into a cold smile. "Master … my mind is a little messy, but I am not an idiot, especially when it comes to the topic of my lover. You should also know that a man's psychological taboo is his own woman. When I talked about An Ning, my thoughts were the most active. It was also at that time that I knew …"
