On the grass by the lake, there was a white cloth with all kinds of delicious food on it.
The lake water was clear to the bottom, and groups of fat fish were swimming in the water, occasionally splashing up waves. Nowadays, on the island that was almost filled with industrial areas and laboratories, this piece of land with green mountains and clear waters was already very rare.
Usually, this was the most crowded place in the virtual world. There were people everywhere, but now, there was no one except for Luo Yuan and his family. Looking at the scattered guards in the distance, it was obvious that the place had been cordoned off.
Luo Junchao, who was 11 years old, already looked like an adult. He was holding a knife and cutting the cake seriously. He cut a piece and gave it to Luo Yuan.
"Dad, this is for you!" Luo Yuan was silent for a while and nodded.
Luo Yuan was strict with him and he never smiled. He respected his father more than he loved him, so Luo Junchao did not feel anything was wrong.
"Mom, this is for you!"
Chen Xinjie looked at the family of three. It was rare for them to be together. Her eyes turned red and she took the cake. She quickly took a bite and said, "It's delicious!"
"Mom, eat more if you like it!" Luo Junchao immediately said, "When is your birthday? I'll celebrate it for you next time."
"You're the best son, unlike someone who has never celebrated my birthday or given me any gifts," Chen Xinjie said.
Luo Yuan smiled and said, "I thought you wouldn't mind. I'll give you a goat-shaped sculpture next time. It's made of the same material as the gemstone I gave Xiao Chao."
Chen Xinjie did not care about the gift. She just stared at Luo Yuan as if she had seen a ghost. Ever since his ability had mutated, she had not seen any other expression on his face other than coldness. But just now, she saw a smile on his face.
"What's wrong?" Luo Yuan asked.
"No … Nothing!" Chen Xinjie's eyes were slightly wet. She quickly turned her head and said, "The wind seems to be getting stronger."
She hid it very well, but with Luo Yuan's sharp senses, how could he not see it? He sighed in his heart and did not expose her. "The wind is indeed getting stronger."
Then, he waved his hand, and a certain part of the data in the virtual world changed silently.
Chen Xinjie could not help but look at Luo Yuan in shock when she felt that the wind had disappeared. However, when she thought about the meeting in the morning, she understood.
Luo Junchao felt that his father was in a good mood today, so he boldly asked, "Dad, I want the sculpture too!"
"Sure, but I don't have a sheep. Since it's your birthday today, I'll give you a lab rat," Luo Yuan said casually.
Before Luo Junchao could be happy for long, Luo Yuan asked him about his recent studies. Luo Junchao immediately became annoyed and answered nervously.
His academic performance could not be considered good, but it could not be considered bad either. He was in the middle. His peers of the same age were all Homo Evolutis, so there was not much of a difference in their IQ. Academic performance was dependent on one's diligence, and he was clearly not a diligent person.
…
After dinner, Chen Xinjie and Luo Junchao left the virtual world and sent Xiao Chao back to school. Most of the students were born in the orphanage, and the school had a boarding system. Be it Chen Xinjie or Luo Yuan, they did not want him to be an exception.
Half an hour later, Chen Xinjie returned to the virtual world after sending Luo Junchao off.
"Let's walk together!" Chen Xinjie said while holding Luo Yuan's arm.
Luo Yuan nodded and both of them walked along the lake. He could feel that Chen Xinjie was very happy that day, and the depression that she had been feeling was gone.
"Why do I feel that you're different today?" Chen Xinjie suddenly said.
Luo Yuan paused for a while and continued to walk. He knew why Chen Xinjie said that he was different. He did not leave much of his consciousness in the virtual world, and with the influence of this ordinary body, his emotions that were suppressed by his rationality had recovered to a certain extent. However, sometimes the truth was the most hurtful.
Luo Yuan smiled and said, "Really? Maybe I've been in the lab for too long. "
Chen Xinjie tightened her grip on Luo Yuan's arm, as if he would fly away if she let go. She then asked with concern, "Is there any progress in the experiment?"
"There's some progress, but there's still a long way to go before it's successful!" Luo Yuan sighed. His experiment had come to a standstill, and there was no progress for a long time. Other than sheep, he was powerless to do anything bigger than that. In the end, his four-dimensional brain was not high enough, and his Will was not strong enough. He could only rely on years of practice to slowly improve his control, and there was no other way.
At that moment, he saw a lounge chair in front of him, and immediately suggested, "Let's sit there for a while."
"You did well in today's meeting." Although it was only a small part of his consciousness, and he had already entered the virtual world when the meeting was held, it was like a multitasking task. Regardless of memory or thinking, it was the same.
"So, you've been peeking." Chen Xinjie said coquettishly. She felt a strong sense of pride when she thought of Luo Yuan's majestic appearance in the morning.
This was her man!
"Erm …" Luo Yuan realized that he had accidentally let the cat out of the bag. However, the spaceship was small, and his Sense was always covering it, so it was hard for him not to see it.
Fortunately, Chen Xinjie did not intend to pursue the matter. She then asked curiously, "The face here this morning, was it really you?"
She had been wanting to ask this question for a long time.
Luo Yuan hesitated for a moment, and then nodded his head.
Since it had already been indirectly revealed, there was no need to hide it anymore.
Chen Xinjie opened her mouth and looked at him in shock. Although she had already guessed it, she still could not believe it until she confirmed it with his own mouth. According to the information that she had read in the morning, the face only appeared for a second, but in that second, the entire virtual world had shrunk by one-fifth. All the electronic equipment and weapon systems were either destroyed or malfunctioning.
If it was not for the data backup in the virtual world, human technology might have regressed by one or two years. She immediately asked, "How did you do it? This virtual world is built by a super quantum computer! "
"It's simple. As long as I want to do it, I can do it!"
Chen Xinjie wanted to say that he was bragging, but seeing that Luo Yuan did not look like he was joking, she instinctively believed that it was the truth.
She suddenly realized that she did not understand Luo Yuan at all. His ability was far stronger than she had imagined, and it was even beyond her understanding.
She recalled that when she met Luo Yuan in the real world, he always closed his eyes and turned his back to her. He never spoke, but only responded through telepathy. Perhaps, it was not because he was cold to her, but because he was afraid of hurting her.
She felt warm in her heart, and hugged Luo Yuan's arm affectionately. She said gently, "It's late, let's go back to my house."
The night was dark, and it was destined to be a sleepless night!
