Chapter 179 The Sky Falls (14) (1st + 2nd) [VIP]
"Think about it again? Maybe the artificial human genes needed in the future do not require so many collection and preservation conditions as imagined by modern backward technology, but only samples are needed?" Xu Zichen rubbed his hair. "For example, when you joined the company, did you have a physical examination or something like that, and did you collect blood samples during the physical examination? Have you donated blood before, have you ever had an organ matching operation..."
He listed several possibilities in one breath: "There are too many things that could leak genes under the modern medical system."
"Oh, yes," Yin Liantao was also reminded, "Have you ever done any kind of genetic testing that only requires saliva to detect? Maybe it could leak genes!"
Ren Zhiling sat on the sofa and pondered for a while, then shook her head: "Except for the physical examination, I don't have anything else."
"And as for the physical examination..." She thought for a moment, "We all had physical examinations organized by our company, and all my colleagues except me had their blood drawn. If my genes were leaked at that time, then why are my genes the only ones available for selection five hundred years later?"
After going around in circles, we finally come back to the question of what makes her special.
"And if you follow your idea... current technology can actually extract DNA from hair follicles. The easiest way to collect my DNA is not to draw blood, but to pull out a hair."
"Before attending the meeting a few days ago, I thought I was just an ordinary researcher," Ren Zhiling shrugged. "Although I can be called a genius, there are so many geniuses in our field. Before Liu Yi came back, why did the people who preserved the genes only preserve me and not others who are better than me?"
"Because your genes are the only ones left in the future?" Ning Xiao answered tentatively.
Yesterday [Liu Yi F] said that the reason why Ren Zhiling was chosen was because only Ren Zhiling's genes were available.
"Not necessarily. What Liu Yi said may not be true." Ren Zhiling shook his head rationally.
Xu Zichen suddenly became nervous.
Did Ren Zhiling discover something wrong last night? That shouldn't be the case. The evidence that supported his judgment that there was a problem between Ren Zhiling and Liu Yi was actually Song Jirou's fixed attribute [iron rice bowl]. However, Ren Zhiling lacked this key information, so he should not be able to infer that there was a problem with Liu Yi.
Fortunately, Ren Zhiling's next words quickly dispelled his doubts.
"If Liu Yi is just a product of an experiment, a man-made person using my genes," Ren Zhiling explained, "then he is very likely to be unaware of certain things, or to have been indoctrinated with some incorrect concepts, because he is just a test subject and does not have sufficient authority."
"It's possible that many genes will remain in the future, but Liu Yi was indoctrinated with the wrong message that 'only mine remained, so only you were created.'"
Ren Zhiling has a natural talent in professional matters: "I had doubts since I was on the TV tower. The future Liu Yi described lacked basic logical coherence. He had no need to lie to me, but it was too easy to hide it from him and make him have a wrong perception. As a man-made human, he lacks the social relationships that normal humans naturally have after birth. As long as we strictly control the people he comes into contact with, we can trap him in an information cocoon and prevent him from ever coming into contact with the normal world."
And those who can only contact Liu Yi...are also trapped in this information cocoon created for Liu Yi.
This is just like what they speculated at the beginning, that Liu Yi went back to the past and was actually guided by something.
Although it is not known whether he sent this message back intentionally to mislead them or whether what he said was the truth, the fact that Ren Zhiling's genes were selected as one of the genes for creating "Liu Yi" must be because people in the future had other considerations.
If the standards for extracting genes are relaxed to include all possible genetic samples, then any modern person living in this era may have their genes preserved for five hundred years.
Unless Liu Yi actually appeared in the past much earlier than this time point, and deliberately used someone else's hands to pick out Ren Zhiling's genes in the past, there are only two possibilities. Either Ren Zhiling has something special that she herself doesn't know about, or Liu Yi is in an information cocoon and he doesn't know that other people's genes exist five hundred years later.
"It seems like after going around in circles, we'll end up back at the starting point." Ning Xiao said silently.
It is now almost certain that there must be something special about Ren Zhiling, but no one can find the entry point.
"How about... wait until Liu Yi shows up today and ask him?" The living room fell silent, and Yin Liantao tried to speak, "Didn't Liu Yi yesterday reveal that they were Ren Zhiling's artificial human? Maybe Liu Yi today will tell you why they chose Ren Zhiling's genes, or why she is the only one with genes left in the future?"
Even the person who provided the genes, Ren Zhiling, did not know when his genes were collected. No one knows what kind of samples will be needed to extract genes given the level of technology five hundred years later. If we continue to search in this direction, the target will be too big.
After all, if in the future world one could get any part of Ren Zhiling's body containing genes and extract them, then the person most likely to obtain and preserve her genetic fragments would be the aunt who regularly cleans her house.
After all, no woman with long hair can guarantee that she won’t lose a single hair…
"Okay, let's wait for Liu Yi," Yin Liantao's proposal was quickly unanimously approved by everyone. Xu Zichen subconsciously glanced at Ye Dian, then looked at his watch and said, "There are still nine hours until Liu Yi shows up at 5 pm. There is still time to discuss our direction this time."
He and Ye Dian were the only two people present who knew that Ren Zhiling was not actually the key figure in the rules. As long as they didn't let others discover that the focus was Xi Enze, they could still obtain future information through Liu Yi's attitude.
After all, Liu Yi revealed too much information about what was wrong with him. Even the later Liu Yi would expose the previous Liu Yi. For example, [Liu Yi F] revealed that the time to return to the future can be controlled by himself, and the longest time is about half an hour. This shows that they are not actually afraid of them discovering something wrong.
"Well... the personalities of Liu Yi who appeared several times are very different. It should be because of your choice that led to a different future five hundred years later, which affected Liu Yi and caused his personality to change." Xu Zichen beautified the inconsistency of Liu Yi, trying not to let others hear the wrongness, "So Liu Yi with different personalities and different futures will reveal different information. Our current goal is to analyze the impact of your career choice on Liu Yi five hundred years later, and then choose a career direction that can generate a friendly Liu Yi, so that we can inquire about future clues."
As expected, everyone's attention was diverted. Ning Xiao spoke first, "Actually, the incident at the concert hall was quite special. Ren Zhiling might have been dying at that time, so he was very excited. When facing a crisis, people's personalities will be very different from their own. So we can't be sure what Liu Yi's personality was when he went back to the past that day. But we can see that he at least has a friendly attitude towards us and is willing to tell us that there is a crisis of sky collapse in the future world."
"Of the remaining two Liu Yis, one was the one we met on the TV tower. That Liu Yi was very polite, but when he answered questions, he was very careful. When we asked him further, he made the excuse that time was up and left in a hurry," Fu Yandong continued. "The other one was the one we met yesterday. That Liu Yi was much more casual. He didn't even wear his signature silver-white outfit or cover his face. His clothes wouldn't look out of place if he were seen on the street."
"Wait a minute," Ren Zhiling suddenly thought, "If Liu Yi came from five hundred years later, then five hundred years is too long. Culture, clothing and many other things will change. It should be impossible that the clothing is the same. So the silver-white clothing Liu Yi you saw a few times before is the normal clothing five hundred years later, right?"
And yesterday, Liu Yi was wearing clothes from their era. Does this mean that in the future when she chose to sell grilled sausages, there was no gap in the film and television materials of five hundred years ago in the world five hundred years later, or that in the future when she chose to sell grilled sausages, the intensity of the disasters they faced was smaller, so there was enough extra time to make clothes that were more in line with the background of the times for Liu Yi who traveled back to five hundred years ago?
"That's right!" Everyone straightened up at once.
"Is there any difference between the three professions now: selling sausages, becoming a self-media person, and being a scientist?" Ning Xiao took out the memo and started to classify.
"If we want to classify them according to future development direction, then self-media and scientists will all be in the same category, while selling grilled sausages will be independent," Lu Changfeng subconsciously found a piece of notepaper and a pen and classified them on paper. "According to Liu Yi, if Ren Zhiling really becomes a commercial giant by selling grilled sausages in the future, then in terms of influence, it will be similar to self-media, so the problem is definitely not the influence."
"What's that? The difference in disposable income? Can you make more money selling sausages?" Ning Xiao guessed.
"Selling grilled sausages has brought more elementary school students into contact with the market and has had an impact on the next generation?" Fu Yandong guessed.
There were also a lot of random guesses on the barrage:
[Selling grilled sausages and going to the market frequently, did you get to know more suppliers and meet more people? ]
[Or is it that after she became a business tycoon, her influence is greater than that of self-media and scientists? ]
[Or is it that the concept of "one sausage left" is more deeply rooted in people's minds than the concepts created by the other two professions, so that it has become an iconic label for her? ]
【How come you are all so good at guessing? 】
[How else can we guess... "On the impact of career choice on the preservation of world historical data 500 years later", anyone can only guess. ]
"Could it be that sect?" The exploration team members on the screen were also guessing, "Is it that the future of selling grilled sausages has influenced the thinking of more people?"
"Thought influence?" Ren Zhiling repeated subconsciously, "I still think the future of this sect is a little too leap-forward. Even if I only have one sausage left, it is impossible for it to develop into a sect. Could it be that Liu Yi is lying..."
"If Liu Yi is a liar," Xu Zichen raised his head and continued, "then it's obvious. Selling sausages and self-media and scientists are heading in exactly opposite directions. Selling sausages is obscure enough and won't attract attention."
"A profession that is obscure enough..." Ren Zhiling touched his chin, "Isn't that too much?"
"Oh, right," Ning Xiao remembered, opened the memo and handed it to Ren Zhiling, "This is a list of all the professions we can think of. You can choose from them."
"So many?" After taking it, Ren Zhiling subconsciously turned his gaze to Ye Dian.
When she looked over, everyone looked over.
While all of them were brainstorming about genes and career choices, he half-leaned on the sofa, looking too lazy to speak and watching their discussion. Noticing everyone's gaze, Ye Dian turned his gaze over and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
"Choose a career," Ren Zhiling pointed to the memo in her hand, "Boss Ye, which one do you think is suitable?"
Among the seven people in this house, isn't Ye Dian the only one who has the deepest understanding of various professions?
"Didn't you guys just discuss your career direction? Why don't you just choose it yourself?" Ye Dian raised his eyebrows. "You are planning to change your career, why do you need my opinion?"
"I'm thinking of asking you, Brother Ye, to choose something you're good at," Lu Changfeng said sincerely, expressing everyone's thoughts, "After all, you're the most experienced."
Not to mention that this career is likely to be disposable, just talking about the choices after getting employed, these exploration team members have no idea how to get started in these careers. Without Ye Dian's guidance, Ren Zhiling's career change was unsuccessful, and naturally it would not have an impact on the future.
"Oh, well, just pick whatever you want." Under everyone's gaze, Ye Dian showed a mocking expression of "I thought it was a big deal" and glanced at the memo casually. "I know almost all of them. Just pick the one you like."
Before the exploration team members could be shocked, the investors exploded.
【Grass. 】
[I didn’t understand much of your analysis above, but I understand this sentence.]
[I don’t want to know what’s wrong with Liu Yi, I just look forward to Ren Zhiling’s next explosive career and future.jpg]
【Second.】
【What is a sense of security, my friends! 】
【Welcome to the God of Career Planning. 】
[What is the most deadly invisible pretense? 】
[How many jobs have you had? How can you choose so easily? ]
[What is the gold content of the God of Working? This is the gold content. 】
[Did no one look at what Lu Changfeng and the others wrote on the list? Last night, these three people wrote incoherently, even writing down locksmiths, cleaning sewers, repairing bicycles, and collecting scrap electrical appliances.]
[I saw it, but if someone else said this I would just think he was bragging, but when it came to Ye Dian it suddenly made sense.]
[Don’t say it. Don’t say it.]
…
Just as the discussion was going on heatedly on the barrage, Ren Zhiling's cell phone in the bedroom suddenly rang.
"Wait a moment," she stood up from the sofa, "I'm going to answer a call first."
Everyone was sitting on the sofa, and Ren Zhiling was sitting in the innermost single seat. Seeing that she was about to answer a call, the exploration team members all sat back to make way for her.
The cell phone was in the bedroom. Ren Zhiling walked into the bedroom in slippers and closed the door. The phone was still ringing at the door, but the strange thing was that Ren Zhiling didn't say a word after the call was connected.
Her bedroom door had average soundproofing; the ringing of the phone and voices could be heard through, but after a few minutes, the bedroom became eerily quiet.
The members of the exploration team looked at each other. Ning Xiao, who was sitting on the outermost side, felt a little uneasy: "Did something happen to Ren Zhiling in the bedroom?"
If a normal person answers the phone, he or she would at least say "Hello", right?
Why didn't Ren Zhiling say a word after answering the phone?
Could it be that he had a sudden illness and fainted in the bedroom?
"How about Yin Liantao go and take a look?" Considering that they were in the bedroom, it would be a bit inconvenient for Xu Zichen and his friends as men, so they asked the only female in the exploration team to go.
Yin Liantao didn't dare to delay, and quickly ran to the bedroom and knocked on the door: "Ren Zhiling? Are you okay? If you are okay, please say something. Did you fall somewhere?"
When she got closer to the bedroom door, she heard a sound coming from behind the door, but the sound was very small, so she couldn't hear it when she was sitting in the position they were sitting in before.
There was a vague male voice behind the door. There was no one else in Ren Zhiling's house except them, so the voice could only have come from the telephone receiver.
The bedroom door was not soundproofed, so the sound of Yin Liantao knocking on the door was naturally heard by the person on the other end of the phone.
"Is there anyone else in your house?" The voice sounded very angry. "I'll be there this afternoon, and we'll have a good chat then. I don't want to see anyone irrelevant when I get there."
Yin Liantao opened his eyes slightly.
Ren Zhiling, who had been silent the whole time, finally said the first sentence in a calm tone: "I will not be here this afternoon."
"Yin Liantao?" The exploration team members who were still sitting on the sofa saw her standing at the door for a long time without responding, and raised their voices and called out.
Yin Liantao turned around when he heard the sound and made a "safe" gesture to them.
The voice behind the door sounded like Ren Zhiling's private matter. Yin Liantao had no desire to pry into her privacy, so he planned to turn around and leave to let her handle it herself.
But the next words coming from the receiver behind the door were faster than her actions: "Look at what you have been doing these days. Not only did you not go to the research institute I arranged for you, but now you resign and say you want to be a blogger. You also went to set up a stall in front of the No. 3 Municipal Primary School and were caught by Lao Liu. How can you let me put my face down after this gets out?"
Yin Liantao's footsteps suddenly stopped.
The investors on the barrage did not have her concerns about being heard and causing another dispute, and spoke recklessly:
[Is this Ren Zhiling's father? ]
[Um... I have to say this, but with just these few words, I don't sound like a good person. ]
[What misunderstanding do you have about people who go crazy and smash things at home and are heard by the neighbor's grandchildren? ]
[Indeed, Ren Zhiling seemed to have said that when she was a child, her father chased her around the yard and beat her...]
[Speechless, Ren Zhiling resigned to work in self-media and sell sausages, which made him embarrassed? Then isn’t it embarrassing for him to smash things at home... ]
[Comparatively, it seems more embarrassing to be known by the whole family compound as breaking the defense and smashing the dishes…]
[Schrödinger's face, haha.]
[Be strict with others and lenient with yourself, that's what it means. 】
On the screen, the conversation continues.
"I didn't care about your previous mischief, but this time you have to go back to the institute immediately. If you didn't go to work these few days, you would have been fired long ago if I hadn't shamelessly gone to your director for you, do you know that?"
"Oh, no wonder I haven't quit yet," Ren Zhiling said speechlessly, "I thought I hadn't used up my annual leave yet, so it's you."
"What do you mean by 'you'? I'm your father!" the voice said angrily, "I'll be there this afternoon. I won't let you continue to mess around this time!"
Ren Zhiling sneered: "Then come on, see if you can find my people."
As soon as she finished speaking, she hung up the phone and opened the door, bumping into Yin Liantao who had not yet left the door.
"Ahem..." Yin Liantao coughed awkwardly, "I didn't mean to listen. We were just worried that you might faint if you stayed silent in the bedroom..."
"It's okay," Ren Zhiling's face showed no anger, and her expression was very calm, "That's my dad. Even if I can't hear you today, I will tell you later. After all, we made the decision to change careers together, and we will definitely encounter a lot of resistance in the future."
"A few years ago, when I was about to graduate from college, he wanted me to study for a doctorate in the major he designated, and he contacted a school and supervisor he was familiar with in China for me. Unexpectedly, I took the entrance exam to a foreign school and ran away. When he found out, I was already abroad and he couldn't even get through on the phone," she shrugged. "After I finished my studies and returned to China, he wanted to arrange for me to join the research group he designated. Unexpectedly, I contacted the research institute before him and ran away to a place he had no control over. Then he got angry again and said he would transfer me to another job, but I didn't tell him until I had completed the entry procedures. By the time he found out, my file had already been entered."
"My dad is like this. He thinks everyone has to follow his instructions, otherwise he will lose face."
"I don't know where he got so much face to put," Ren Zhiling complained sharply, "If there's no place to put the face, just put it on the neck. Why does he have to find a place to put it? Isn't it embarrassing to be seen?"
The members of the exploration team had no way of getting a word in what she said and could only sit there and listen awkwardly.
The investors in the live broadcast room took advantage of the fact that I couldn’t see and posted a lot of comments:
【Good scolding. 】
【Development is extremely comfortable.】
[As expected, she is the world's number one pet blogger and a sister who sells grilled sausages to commercial giants. This is so hilarious. ]
【Annual blood pressure friendly live broadcast.】
[But then again, this desire for control is really scary...]
[That gene is not related to her father, right? ]
…
The general career selection process was interrupted. After Ren Zhiling gave a brief explanation, everyone calmed down and prepared to continue.
Just then, there were three knocks on the door.
"Your father is here?" Xu Zichen straightened up.
It shouldn't be that fast, right? It's only been a few minutes since she hung up the phone.
"It shouldn't be," Ren Zhiling had just sat down and had to get up again in a hurry, "He is a man of his word. He said he would arrive in the afternoon and it is impossible for him to suddenly attack."
She explained as she walked to the door and looked through the peephole.
"Who is it?" everyone asked.
Ren Zhiling took a deep breath: "My mother."
"Ah?" Everyone was a little stunned.
How come Ren Zhiling's parents came in just one morning?
Could it be that being caught by that "Uncle Liu" selling sausages yesterday had such a big impact on her parents?
"She must have known that my dad was coming this afternoon, so she came to persuade me this morning," Ren Zhiling stood at the door, tucked up her hair, and walked back and forth with her arms around her chest, annoyed, "It's been like this since we were young, one plays the good cop and the other the bad cop."
"Hurry," she ran back to the coffee table in the living room and stretched out her hand to Ning Xiao, "Give me your career guide. There's no time!"
"Hurry up and find a new job. Don't stay at home anymore. I'll be on duty this afternoon! Don't come to see me. I'll stay in the hotel with you guys tonight!"
Ning Xiao's career choices included everything. Most of them, such as those with high barriers to entry that required prior preparation, were quickly filtered out by Ren Zhiling. Her eyes quickly scanned the pile of occupations.
After a few seconds, she raised her eyes and said, "You said..."
"Well, you say." Xu Zichen.
Ren Zhiling: "How about I become a security guard?"
Exploration team members:?
Ren Zhiling: "Five social insurances and one housing fund, a fixed salary, and even a place to live!"
Barrage: [? ]
"How is it? How is it?" Ren Zhiling actively sought everyone's opinions.
Amidst the confused gaze, only Ye Dian, who was half leaning on the sofa, slowly stood up.
Bai Jin said: "Very good."
Everybody looked over.
Bai Jin said: "It would save us forty years of detours."
The author has something to say:
