Chapter 963: Philosophy (Requesting monthly votes at the beginning of the month)

Lu Mian didn't show any emotional changes on the surface, looking at Green, waiting for him to say the follow-up words.

At this time, in the psychiatric ward, the corridor was very quiet. There were no patients walking around, no family members coming and going, only nurses passing by occasionally.

Green looked left and right and said:

"Divine Child, this is an opportunity to let Li Keji conceive a child. Please take action yourself."

Let Frank Lee conceive a child? How do I have this ability? I can only let myself conceive a child! Lu Mian grumbled to himself, glanced at Green, and said:

"Do you need me for such a small matter?"

Green smiled embarrassedly:

"If I do it, Li Keji will have to be pregnant for forty weeks before giving birth to the child. That's too long to wait and can't be put to use in a short time. And there might be abnormalities soon."

You really have the extraordinary ability to make anyone of any gender conceive a child. Pollution is also a gift and one of the sources of power... However, why are you obsessed with letting Frank Lee give birth to a child? This is a symbol, a symbol that Frank Lee truly becomes the child of the Mother? Thoughts flashed through Lu Mian's mind one after another.

He then remembered that Frank Lee's dream image, Li Keji, belonged to a special role—he was influenced by Mr. "Fool's" subconscious cognition and embodied an extraordinary side in mushroom-related matters. Moreover, judging from the dried mushroom incident, his potential stance was biased toward Mr. "Fool."

If Frank Lee really became the child of the "Great Mother," it would mean that the "Great Mother's" forces had mastered this special point in the dream city, which could be effectively utilized to intervene more deeply in the development of the dream.

Although evil gods like the "Great Mother" wanted balance more, Frank Lee falling into Their hands was better than being controlled by the Celestial Worthy. But one also had to guard against the possibility that They and the Celestial Worthy were in a cooperative relationship on this matter.

Frank Lee was arrested by official forces and sent to the psychiatric ward of the Dawn Hospital, which represented the will of the Celestial Worthy, while the "Great Mother" was one of the "major shareholders" of the Dawn Hospital. Perhaps the two had already reached a cooperative intention on a single event and completed a private transaction... Lu Mian said calmly to Green:

"In this city, my power is also restricted and won't be much better than yours."

Green explained with a smile:

"I know. This time I just want to use your divinity. Although it is also restricted, it is still divinity."

"After you let Li Keji conceive a child, the hospital's obstetrics department will provide corresponding reproductive technology and extraordinary power support, and Li Keji can give birth to the child within four weeks."

Sure enough... The obstetrics department of the Dawn Hospital is one of the symbols of the "Great Mother" in this dream... It sounds like it has already been subjected to a certain degree of pollution, and multiple medical staff have become children of the Mother...

If the obstetrics department of every hospital in the dream city is completely polluted over time, and the problem hasn't been detonated, does that mean that the newborns in the dream city will all be children of the Mother?

If it goes on generation after generation, everyone in the dream city will be a child of the Mother... By the end, whoever wakes up, whether it's Mr. "Fool" or that Celestial Worthy, will bear the identity of a child of the "Great Mother" in a mystical sense?

Lu Mian felt inexplicably terrified the more he thought about it.

This is a subtle, boiling-a-frog-in-warm-water influence. As long as there is enough time, the "Great Mother" will surely achieve Her goal.

Of course, the premise is that Mr. "Fool" and that Celestial Worthy haven't made effective resistance, and this dream continues for at least five generations, counting by the century.

These great existences are not to be trifled with... Lu Mian sighed, nodded gently, and responded to Green:

"Okay."

Green was overjoyed and said in a prayer-like tone:

"May the radiance of motherhood last forever!"

He then approached the iron door of the ward and looked inside through the small window blocked by iron bars. Lu Mian also took two steps forward.

What came into their view was a burly back wearing blue and white striped hospital clothes.

That back was squatting in the corner, not knowing what he was tinkering with.

As Lu Mian's gaze moved, he found several brown-capped, white-stemmed mushrooms growing at the junction of the wall and the ground. They were watery, as if they had just been transplanted from the forest after the rain.

Bang, Lu Mian patted the iron door, and Green then gave up the window position to him.

Hearing the patting sound, the figure stood up, rushed to the door with a swish, and revealed a face with dense whiskers. It was precisely Li Keji, the biology teacher at the Star Cram School, Frank Lee, the "Legendary Druid" in reality.

Lu Mian could see that Mr. "Fool's" dream subconscious had done a certain degree of localization for the role of Li Keji, so he didn't set him as a foreign teacher. Therefore, his eyes were dark brown, and his facial contours were relatively soft.

"Someone finally came!" Li Keji said excitedly, "Go tell your dean and department director that I don't have mental problems, it's just that many people can't accept my philosophy."

His eyes were pure and enthusiastic.

I can only accept it to a limited extent... Lu Mian, who had read "The Great Adventurer 6: Future," muttered silently and asked seriously:

"What is your philosophy?"

Li Keji was very happy to share:

"For humans, the most important thing is food. There are still many people in this world suffering from hunger."

"To solve this problem, we need some new plants. They must meet the following conditions:"

"One, not picky about the environment; two, no need for meticulous care; three, high annual yield; four, best to be harvested frequently; five, rich in nutrition, able to meet all the needs of the human body..."

"I found that mushrooms meet most of my requirements, but it's not enough. Their yield is insufficient, nutrition is monotonous, taste is narrow, and so on, and so on!"

"I have been thinking about what method to use to make different types of mushrooms have different tastes, different nutrition, and different characteristics. For example, those that are not afraid of pests, not afraid of diseases, can grow and multiply themselves, taste like beef, bite into milk, or are as delicate as fish meat..."

Hearing this, Lu Mian's eyelids jumped.

Some of the new varieties are very similar to the mushrooms in the New White Silver City...

Are they all Frank Lee's inventions?

Am I eating new mushrooms created by Frank Lee?

No wonder I felt something was wrong somewhere at that time...

Lu Mian glanced at Green and said to Li Keji, who was talking endlessly:

"I can accept your statement and your philosophy."

"Right? Those people don't understand science and actually called the police to arrest me!" Li Keji's eyes lit up, "I thought for a long time and finally thought of a way to realize my philosophy."

"What is it?" Lu Mian raised his eyebrows.

Li Keji said excitedly and enthusiastically:

"Genetically modified technology!"

For a moment, both Lu Mian and Green were silent.

After a few seconds, Lu Mian grumbled to himself:

"So you transplanted all the genes of a cow into a mushroom?"

Li Keji continued:

"My research has progressed steadily, and I already have mature samples."

"Yes, they still have this or that problem, but their epoch-making significance cannot be denied."

"Those mushrooms, some will moo, some will eat grass, some will swim, some will run, some will drink their own milk. These are not big problems at all. They actually think I'm a lunatic and that I'm endangering social safety!"

I think so too... Lu Mian was speechless for a moment:

"..."

Green was shocked and only remembered something after a few seconds:

"Did you send some dried mushrooms to..."

He stopped abruptly and didn't finish asking.

At that time, monitoring Zhou Mingrui's workstation and also mastering all the surveillance cameras in the entire building, he had completely seen the mutation of the dried mushrooms and also knew their final outcome and the possible hidden dangers buried because of it.

"I did send some to my colleagues at the cram school. Unfortunately, there were too few to reward the students," Li Keji said with regret.

Lu Mian let out a sigh of relief and said to Li Keji:

"Geniuses are always lonely and not understood by others."

"No, I'm not a genius. I just have a passionate heart and the courage to practice." Li Keji wasn't being humble, but truly believed so.

"Regardless, your original intention is not a problem," Lu Mian could only say so.

He raised his right hand and reached toward Li Keji.

Li Keji understood his intention, reached his hand out of the iron bars, and high-fived him.

"I will report your situation, but I can't make the decision," Lu Mian said sincerely.

"Thank you," Li Keji's face was full of gratitude.

After he returned to the sleeping area and resumed studying the mushrooms, Lu Mian walked toward the stairwell and said to Green:

"He is already pregnant."

Actually, he wasn't.

Without waiting for Green to respond, Lu Mian added:

"But it will take a week for the embryo to stabilize. You can let those people in the obstetrics department intervene. Before that, no interference can be made."

"Is that so... Okay, I will remind them," Green didn't understand what divinity could do after being restricted in this world.

After leaving the Dawn Hospital and watching Green go away, Lu Mian walked to the opposite side and got into the gray sedan driven by Anthony.

He looked at the gate of the Dawn Hospital and pondered for a moment:

"Try to rescue Li Keji from the psychiatric ward within a week."

Otherwise, the "fake pregnancy" matter would be exposed, and he would inevitably be suspected.

Moreover, by then, the believers of the "Great Mother" could still remedy it and let Li Keji really conceive.

Just as Lu Mian finished speaking, he suddenly saw two cars stop at the gate of the Dawn Hospital. Among the people who got off were Huang Jiajia, the eldest lady Huang Beibei, and many people in suits and leather shoes.

"Is this Huang Jiajia finding helpers to rescue Li Keji?

"The eldest lady Huang won't do illegal things on the surface, so those people are lawyers and some official personnel, wanting to go through formal procedures to fish Li Keji out?

"Even if those mushrooms are really like biochemical toxins, the eldest lady Huang can't change the fact that Li Keji is guilty and has mental problems, but she can find a way to transfer him to another hospital and not stay in the Dawn Hospital...

"Can this be considered a secret struggle between two official forces, symbolizing the confrontation between Mr. 'Fool' and the Celestial Worthy? Is Mr. 'Fool's' subconscious wanting to protect Li Keji?"

Lu Mian watched thoughtfully.
