"You know what a zero-trust mechanism means, right?"

Let's assume for now that the news of you becoming a mage will definitely leak out.

However, I also disagree with your second idea, which is to let everyone know.

This method is even less feasible.

After Li Xulin finished speaking, he paused for a moment, as he needed someone to be his straight man.

Knowing her father's personality well, Li Miaomiao immediately replied, "Why?"

She was indeed very curious, because using fame to protect oneself is a common practice in China.

Fame has always been a double-edged sword.

Li Xulin pretended to stroke his non-existent beard and said:

"Because your situation is different from Zheng Li's, you are more likely to be the target of jealousy and criticism."

Zheng Li relies on talent, and people naturally admire geniuses. When a genius reaches a certain level, people will tolerate most of his shortcomings.

Not to mention that Zheng Li's talent is unparalleled; people will envy his luck, not his talent.

First, you acquire the Demon Brain, and you'll definitely have to reveal the source of that acquisition to the public. Once it's revealed, people will only be more jealous of your luck.

With so many people knowing about it, you'll be caught off guard by both public and real-world attacks.

Because they don't have to pay the price, some capable people will fabricate all sorts of dirt on you, maliciously edit what you said, and then impose it on you.

Once such a public opinion atmosphere is formed, it is almost impossible to reverse it.

This is just the negative impact on public opinion; not to mention the potential for extremists to attack you in real life if everyone finds out.

For example, being misled into believing that the killer could obtain the Demon Brain.

Li Miaomiao countered, "I understand the point about negative public opinion."

I've seen many similar comments on Weibo saying that I was just lucky.

These comments were relatively neutral; I was indeed lucky.

Of course, not all comments on Weibo were like that. There were also those who defended Li Miaomiao, after all, her looks speak for her, and many people defended her.

For example, how many people were able to make the decision to give up their studies and start a business with Zheng Li? Even if they were lucky, they made the right choice.

"But I don't quite understand the latter point."

If Chinese authorities leak secrets, people will attack me in the real world just the same way.

There is no guarantee that everyone who knows this news is rational.

Your assumption is a subjective hypothesis.

Li Xulin explained, "It's the price."

Only Zheng Li can protect you.

If everyone knows, then if something happens to you, only the specific individual can be held accountable, and there's no way to trace it further.

If you choose to keep the secret, you can hold the person who leaked the information accountable.

Moreover, those at the bottom have nothing left to lose, so perhaps someone will take a gamble and succeed?

Under conditions of secrecy, those who can still obtain information are definitely not at the bottom level; they don't have the courage to give up everything.

This is equivalent to double protection. In addition, you need to ask Zheng Li to communicate with the Chinese government and make sure they keep it a secret. As long as Zheng Li makes the request, no one outside the country will know about it for at least the next few years.

From what I understand, Zheng Li's standing in the eyes of higher-ups far exceeds what outsiders imagine.

Li Xulin's viewpoint can be summarized in two points:

Barefoot people aren't afraid of those wearing shoes, so try not to let barefoot people know.

The institutions should be held accountable, rather than only holding specific individuals responsible.

Li Miaomiao quickly understood the other party's thoughts: "Okay, I will talk to Zheng Li."

Zheng Li would never refuse something so casual.

Li Xulin nodded and said, "Zheng Li is being unusually kind to you."

I don't really understand it.

Li Miaomiao laughed and said, "Haha, there's nothing I can do, your daughter is just so lovable."

Li Xulin said, "No, that's not it."

I can understand why Zheng Li would give you the "magic brain," but I don't quite understand the timing he chose.

It's worth noting that although Zheng Li studied mathematics in college, the vast majority of his achievements were actually in biology.

Moreover, based on your description and other external accounts, Zheng Li is clearly a research fanatic with an extremely strong curiosity about everything.

Li Miaomiao: "That's right."

Zheng Li's passion for scientific research can only be described as obsessive. According to rumors within the company, sometimes the lights on the floor where Zheng Li works are still on at 1 a.m.

This is what the patrolling security guard said.

He told me that I was his only friend, so it was normal for him to be nice to me.

Li Xulin's mind was racing, and he said as he thought:

"Let me put it this way, Zheng Li's passion for scientific research is far greater than his passion for you, isn't that right?"

Li Miaomiao nodded.

Li Xulin continued, "So it's normal for him to use the Demon Brain after obtaining it, but why didn't he use the second Demon Brain for research, but instead gave it to you to use?"

This is unreasonable.

Unless they give you the third Demon Brain.

Li Xulin also thought of another possibility, but he didn't say it aloud.

He didn't intend to tell anyone, but the more Li Xulin thought about it, the more convinced he became that this might be the truth:

"Zheng Li is Merlin. If you put it that way, most of the issues can be explained."

If Zheng Li were Merlin, he could produce as many magic brains as he wanted, and having mastered the method of making magic brains, he would naturally not need to study it further.

Furthermore, an explanation was provided for Zheng Li's genius.

As for why Zheng Li isn't interested in women, that's even more normal. In the eyes of extraterrestrial beings, height, weight, gender, and age are all the same.
