Chapter 40 Suffering is not worth singing about



"Huh?" Qian Cheng was a little surprised. "Teacher Li, do you know this company?" He showed an incredulous look. "Then... what kind of company is this? It seems that you don't like this company very much." Li Yuzhen's expression was as if this company owed him money.

Li Yuzhen sat up slightly, tugged at his tie, and adjusted the tightness: "Angel's company has a very... strange stance." He finally chose the word "strange". "They seem to welcome star beasts, but they also seem not to welcome them. They are close to humans, but they also seem not to be close to humans.

"Simply put, they don't pity ordinary people," Li Yuzhen pondered. "But a company like this is actually developing the Sariel Reagent. So, does it hate ordinary people? Or does it want to benefit everyone and join Xila's evolution?"

It's true that the word "strange" best suits this company.

Qian Cheng was also a little confused after hearing this: "So what exactly are their positions?"

"Qian Cheng, Ai Yu, and I, the three of us are all Moon Messengers. But now I want to ask you, do you think we should welcome Xila to join the evolution?" Li Yuzhen looked up at his two students, waiting for their response.

Ai Yu had been standing quietly until the question was asked, and only spoke now: "Suffering is not worth celebrating, even for the sake of human evolution. Xila's origin and composition are unclear. Xila tampered with our genes, giving us abilities far beyond those of ordinary people, but he also killed countless Blue Star people."

Qian Cheng glanced at Ai Yu in surprise, then sorted out his thoughts: "What I think is similar to Ai Yu's, but there are some differences. In the four billion years of the planet's brief history, there have been five mass extinction events: the Ordovician extinction, the Devonian extinction, the Permian extinction, the Triassic-Jurassic extinction, and the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction.

There are many causes of mass extinction, such as climate change, geological disasters, and even meteorite impacts. Correspondingly, after a mass extinction event, the few species that survive typically experience a period of rapid speciation. As so many species become extinct in these catastrophic events, there is more space for the surviving species to spread.

Over time, as populations separated and migrated, they adapted to new environmental conditions and eventually became reproductively isolated from their original populations, at which point they could be considered an entirely new species.

How can we not consider today's era a mass extinction event? Many once-familiar plants and animals are now only preserved in museum images. Evolution is normal; natural selection allows the fittest to survive. I don't think Xila's arrival was wrong, but I also don't think ordinary people are wrong.

They were just unlucky, but that doesn't mean they should be abandoned. So, in my understanding, the arrival of the Xila virus isn't a hardship, but the arrival of the Star Beast must be stopped."

After listening to it, Li Yuzhen applauded: "Not bad."

Qian Cheng's mouth was dry as he spoke, and he licked his lips. "Teacher Li, can you write less than 5,000 words? Look, we have the same goal, and I can provide you with intelligence support..."

Li Yuzhen interrupted Qian Cheng and said, "Let's be honest. I'm going to deduct money for skipping classes. You must write a self-criticism. Just 2,000 words each, just to show your respect. I'll handle the school affairs."

Qian Cheng raised his palm towards Ai Yu. Ai Yu knew that Qian Cheng was going to high-five her, so she placed her palm on top. Qian Cheng felt bad: "Teacher Li, how much do you want to deduct from my salary? I'll give it to you."

Li Yuzhen took out his phone and sent a message: "Master Qian, do you like to be a money-giving boy? Well, I have a friend who is going to join Angel. Can you give her some money so that she can get a fake ID in Liguo and buy an apartment?"

"No, Mr. Li, I'm rich, not a jerk in a wishing well. So... as for proof of identity, wouldn't a Xia country ID work?" Qian Cheng felt puzzled. "Since when do you need a local ID to join a company?"

Li Yuzhen couldn't help laughing: "No, according to Xia Country's laws, she is already dead."

"Oh, so that's it...ah? What did you say?" Qian Cheng felt that he was probably a little hard of hearing and a little out of date. He couldn't understand what Li Yuzhen was saying. They were all Xia dialect, so why was it so difficult to understand when put together?

Li Yuzhen stopped typing and looked up at Qian Cheng. "I don't know much about Liguo. If an unknown person suddenly appears in the country, can he apply for an identity card? My friend really wants to join Angel..."

Qian Cheng: ...

"I don't need to write a self-criticism, okay?"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Li Yuzhen compromised: "I won't write a self-criticism."

Qian Cheng high-fived Ai Yu again: "It's a small problem, I can just give him a call."

Li Yuzhen narrowed his eyes slightly. He had no idea of ​​the Qian family's power, but now he could clearly sense their extraordinary presence. He stood up and smoothed the wrinkles of his suit. "Let's go! I'll take you back to Ji Palace."

Qian Cheng was slightly shorter than Li Yuzhen and walked on Li Yuzhen's left. "Teacher Li, can I gossip?"

"What?" Li Yuzhen raised his hand and scratched his hair, his eyes wandering on the road, looking for a taxi.

"Are you really with Teacher Ni?"

Li Yuzhen: ...

"Why, you want to eat wedding candy? Maybe in your next life." Li Yuzhen sighed silently, "Don't pay too much attention to Teacher Ni."

"Why?" Qian Cheng felt that there was something big going on here, but Li Yuzhen kept silent about it.

"Ai Yu, how do you feel about living in the Qian family for so many days?"

Ai Yu tilted her head and curled her lips slightly: "Very good."

Li Yuzhen raised her hand to straighten her head: "You should tilt your head less often in the future."

"Oh." Ai Yu's eyes fell on Li Yuzhen's left hand. Unlike his right hand, the sleeve at the wrist of his left hand was rolled up, revealing a small part of his forearm. Li Yuzhen was thin, and the styloid process of his ulna was very obvious.

In the dimness of the starless night and the interweaving and changing lights of the street lamps, his hands glowed faintly like the snow at night, with their outlines clearly discernible. The slightly protruding blue veins on the back of his hands were like swaying branches.

It's a really nice hand, but it's a pity that only half of it is left.

"Ai Yu?" Li Yuzhen followed Ai Yu's gaze and let it fall on her hands. "What are you looking at? So fascinated?"

Ai Yu rarely smiled so obviously: "I think Teacher Li's hands are very beautiful, so I looked at them for a while longer."

Li Yuzhen didn't know whether to blame or be modest, and was speechless for a moment: "Next time, remember not to stare at a certain part of someone's body like this. It might offend others."

"oh."
