My distrust of you is not a problem at all.

The problem is that you don't trust me.

On the way back to the Juxia, Lianfeng couldn't help but think of Wang Ji's two sentences, his young face, and his calm expression.

She knew they were indeed making some assumptions.

Because of his youth, because of the "naivety" of his ambition, and because of his recent actions that seem to liberate his nature, they have forgotten what kind of mind it takes for a boy who was forced to become independent at the age of nine to grow into what he is today.

He may be lonely, suspicious, or pitiful, but he is definitely mature.

He was more mature than almost all the other children in the Super Soldier Corps, even though he was the youngest.

He must have always known what he was doing; his abilities and desires shouldn't have been able to break his spirit so quickly.

He clearly understands that his own doubts and the degree of doubt he displays will elicit the feedback he desires, and from that feedback, he will obtain the information he needs.

Moreover, he grew faster than Lianfeng had anticipated.

He seemed to have truly grasped a lot of knowledge that he shouldn't have understood so quickly, and he also took the significance of these people very seriously.

He understood that his super gene came from a different source than others, and he also understood the potential risks of hidden genetic permissions—a super gene of unknown origin might have been left with a backdoor by the god at its source, granting him the authority to control the super soldier gene system itself at any time.

It's hard to say whether Wang Ji's existence will expose important information about the Super Soldier Squad, or whether he will be manipulated and turn against them at a crucial moment.

Wang Ji's behavior suggests that he truly understands these things.

This reminded Lianfeng of the information from the Super God Academy about how he borrowed a large number of books every day. Although he seemed to be able to read ten lines at a glance, the demeanor he exuded at this moment made Lianfeng wonder if he was just skimming through the books.

If he didn't truly know a lot, he wouldn't be able to deliver such witty and fluent responses in his conversations with her.

It involves some professional knowledge; if you don't understand it, you simply don't understand it, and you can't pretend otherwise.

The library of the Super God Academy may not contain advanced knowledge and technology, but it certainly has all kinds of introductory knowledge and most common sense.

He knew that others were worried about him and wanted to get him tested, and he understood that there might indeed be risks involved.

Although they believe they have nothing to hide, only a ghost can completely trust others.

Just like that local deity, it took thousands of years and countless events to finally gain some trust in them.

However, it is still necessary to maintain a proper distance; even General Ducao would voluntarily keep his distance from that person.

What can they possibly ask of a child? If he is ignorant and unaware, then there is some possibility of mitigating this risk.

Indeed, in the end, even if Wang Ji suspected them, he would not pose any risk to them if they had a clear conscience.

Their suspicion of him has put him at risk regarding the safety of his bottom line... and there's the trust relationship that's better left unaddressed than easily broken if understood.

He remained calm throughout, without any particularly agitated reaction.

As for the hidden risks... they're actually not that great.

"I'm arranging a gene serum for you to advance to the second generation. If you study enough, you should know the concept of the first and second generation super soldiers. Your physical strength is not high, which is something I've been worried about."

She couldn't help but recall her last words when they parted, and also his words:

"That's unnecessary, not now... and not in the future either."

...

Wang Ji did not forcibly obtain a sample of the super serum, even though it was a kind of super gene. In the end, he did not use it.

Not a good match.

According to the information he finally scanned, those serum backups were not only of extremely low quality, but also incompatible with the Shenhe Super Gene System.

If you use it, there will be problems to deal with later.

After considering all factors, he decided not to take it.

He chose a different path.

The night is past midnight

A gentle night breeze rustled the leaves on campus.

A touch of coolness swept through the sweltering heat; the light was still on in the first room of the row of dormitories.

At his computer desk, Wang Ji's fingers flew across the keyboard, his eyes occasionally flashing with a golden light, as strings of code and images rolled through his mind.

There are several computers on the desktop, one displaying an image, and another displaying lines of code.

The world of data can be fraught with danger and fierce competition, but at other times it's a vast world where you can go anywhere.

If one side's hardware and technology completely overwhelm the other, even surpassing the era, and cannot be blocked or detected, then the weaker side's home is simply the other side's backyard, which can be freely exploited.

In the world of data, there is no morality to speak of in the wins and losses.

Of course, if someone manages to climb over the internet cable and beats you up, you only have yourself to blame.

Wang Ji was moral, but that was in the original era, which prevented him from doing anything bad.

Now, he can no longer restrain himself with his old morality, because all the resources on this planet have been labeled with names, and he only has the seventy thousand yuan in his card.

He had mentally prepared himself before he even considered stirring up trouble, subconsciously wondering if it was immoral. Later, he wondered if it was ethical to invade Country A, disregard its various departments, and seize its resources.

He later realized that he had probably been fooled by his own moral education.
