Autistic Genius and His Childhood Friend (6): Identity Transformation

In this era of global internet connectivity, something happening on one side of the planet can spread to the other side in just a few breaths.

As soon as Si Qi gave Xiao Bai the command to showcase its various life skills, some viewers who were charmed by the little dog’s cuteness shared the live stream link on their social media accounts, inviting their friends to watch.

As Xiao Bai’s skills grew more numerous and impressive, the number of viewers skyrocketed exponentially, quickly surpassing the most-watched entertainment channels and breaking the one-million mark in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the audience below shouting questions with all their might, Si Qi felt a bit helpless and decided to answer them one by one:

“The pet’s paws are equipped with magnetic field adsorption, capable of lifting objects weighing up to four tons. This makes it easy to handle large packages or move heavy furniture like refrigerators or beds when cleaning.”

The audience: There are too many things to unpack here…

Si Qi: “Since the purpose of having a pet is to accompany the owner and increase their happiness, I’ve equipped the pet with an AI system. This allows the pet to sense the owner’s emotions, help regulate their mood, take care of household chores when the owner feels lazy, and even assist children with their homework, reducing the need for adult supervision. This will undoubtedly enhance the happiness of the entire family…”

The audience: Just hearing about this ideal lifestyle sounds amazing!

Seeing the longing expressions on everyone’s faces, Si Qi casually dropped a bombshell—his ultimate goal for being here: “As for the standby time, it’s powered by a miniature controlled nuclear fusion battery. It only takes up as much space as a AA battery, so it won’t occupy too much room.”

Miniature!!

Controlled!!!

Nuclear fusion!!!!

And it’s a battery!!

At the moment Si Qi uttered those words, everyone on the scene held their breath. Many who were in the know were almost stunned by the combination of those words.

Controlled nuclear fusion was not something no country had attempted before. Decades ago, top research teams had tried to tackle this world-class problem, investing tens of billions of dollars and a massive amount of manpower and resources.

But nearly a century had passed, and no country in the world had made any progress in this area of research. Every researcher had come to regard controlled nuclear fusion as a pseudo-proposition.

Yet now, at this small youth science and technology competition, a young man under twenty years old calmly stated that he had completed this research. Moreover, he had shrunk the controlled nuclear fusion experimental reactor, which should be at least as large as a building, to the size of a thumb, and even turned it into a rechargeable battery?! 

The venue, filled with thousands of people, was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The vast majority of people did not believe Si Qi’s bold claim, and the voices of doubt dominated the internet.

Chu Feng was already stunned. He never expected that just because he told his friend he wanted a lifelike robotic dog pet, his friend would create a monster that, apart from looking like a dog, was essentially a versatile human + nuclear-powered weapon.

But stunned as he was, when he saw the distrustful looks around him and the barrage of questioning comments on the screen, Chu Feng couldn’t help but shout, “Si Qi isn’t lying! If you don’t believe it, just let Si Qi show you the battery!”

He said to the little white robot above, “Xiao Bai, take out your battery.”

Xiao Bai, by default, considered Chu Feng and Si Qi as its masters. Upon hearing this, it let out a pitiful “whimper,” lay down on the ground, and exposed its belly.

In the next second, the previously seamless, fluffy belly that resembled real fur opened up to reveal a rectangular space. Inside was a connection device, slimmer than a AA battery but longer than a AAA battery, with a light blue color and a highly technological appearance.

Xiao Bai, as a result, lost all responsiveness.

This left many people, who had often mistaken Xiao Bai for a real creature, utterly stunned.

The scene felt somewhat surreal.

Si Qi took out the battery and explained, “This single battery can power the venue we’re in right now for an entire year without any issues.”

Everyone watched Si Qi’s calm, composed, and utterly confident demeanor, holding their breath in silence.

The expressions on their faces were a mix of awe, doubt, and astonishment, but there was no trace of disdain.

What if?

What if this young man had truly invented this?

After all, what did controlled nuclear fusion represent? It represented energy!!! An endless supply of energy that could rapidly propel an entire nation to prominence!!

Cleaner than oil, cheaper than coal! It could save trillions of dollars in energy costs annually!!! It could even enable breakthroughs in heavy industry, turning the impossible into reality!!

Fighter jets, aircraft carriers, tanks, space shuttles…

Which one of these wasn’t deeply tied to energy?!

As long as energy was secured, the endurance of military vehicles would naturally skyrocket, and the implications of all related projects, military operations, and displays of force would be entirely different!!!

The venue erupted into chaos. The event organizers hurried over to Si Qi, not daring to touch him or the dog, which was now ten thousand times more precious than gold. With nervous expressions, they said, “You, sir, please, could you come backstage to rest? This matter is quite complex. Someone will be here shortly to meet with you. Please be patient and wait a moment.”

Regardless of whether Si Qi’s claims about controlled nuclear fusion were true or not, the earthquake prediction technology and the advanced AI system he had already demonstrated were more than enough for them to treat him with the utmost care, as if he were a revered ancestor.

Chu Feng quickly ran over, his face showing clear panic. Si Qi, however, was accustomed to such situations and calmly nodded, asking, “Are these technologies going to be handed over to the state?”

The organizer’s expression stiffened, and he replied vaguely, “They will likely ask you some technical questions…”

He knew full well what was going on but didn’t want to scare the two young men. He tried to use a light, almost childlike tone to reassure Si Qi, “Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. They just want to take a look at your research findings.”

Chu Feng was tense all over and couldn’t help but glance at his friend, “Si Qi…”

He was still in a daze, completely unable to comprehend how the discarded machinery Si Qi had scavenged from the recycling station could possibly be connected to nuclear fusion.

Si Qi smiled at him, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

When Si Qi was making the little dog and decided to showcase it on stage, he already knew what would happen next.

He simply didn’t want to go through the slow process of attending university, joining a research institute, publishing papers, and gradually gaining recognition. Instead, he chose this shortcut—directly presenting the finished product to catch the attention of the authorities immediately, pushing his invention and proving his capabilities, thereby skipping a whole series of intermediate steps.

The two young men were nervously escorted off the stage by the organizers, who guarded them protectively as they moved away from the camera lenses.

Online spectators were instantly thrilled, eagerly discussing whether this could be real and what it would mean if it were.

Most people remained skeptical, after all, Si Qi’s face looked far too young, and controlled nuclear fusion sounded too fantastical.

But regardless of what the crowd thought, within less than ten minutes, a team of fully armed special police officers had taken up positions at the entrance of the science museum, their stern eyes scanning everyone attempting to enter or leave.

Five minutes later, several military vehicles arrived, and a group of military personnel stepped out, accompanied by a few middle-aged individuals who exuded a scholarly aura. They met with the staff who had been waiting at the entrance, and together, carrying various instruments, they hurriedly made their way to the restroom where Si Qi was waiting.

While they hoped for the best but prepared for the worst, they certainly gave the situation the serious attention it warranted.

Even if Si Qi was exaggerating about the controlled nuclear fusion, his earthquake prediction technology alone was enough to warrant significant national attention.

This was something that could potentially alter the global landscape!!

The leading military officer, who had rushed to the scene upon hearing the news, looked sternly at Si Qi sitting on the sofa.

The young man appeared calm, merely glancing at them briefly without a change in his expression.

As a result, the soldier’s initial 99.99% skepticism dropped by at least 0.01%.

He greeted Si Qi in as polite and gentle a tone as possible, showing no hint of condescension. After a brief self-introduction, the soldier cut straight to the point, requesting to test the controlled nuclear fusion battery.

Si Qi casually pointed to the small, futuristic-looking battery he had placed on the table, indicating they could proceed as they wished. Then, addressing the bespectacled, balding middle-aged men, he asked, “Micro-embedded reactors—you understand those, right?”

The professors, who were highly respected in their field domestically, were momentarily speechless.

Having always been in the position of educators, it had been decades since anyone had spoken to them in such a patient, instructive tone.

After a brief pause, one of the more easygoing professors, less burdened by academic pretensions, simply replied, “Yes, we understand.”

Si Qi nodded, took a pen and paper from his ever-helpful assistant Chu Feng, and began writing rapidly. “Let’s start with nuclear fusion…”

Chu Feng and the soldiers watched as Si Qi explained to the professors. By the second sentence, they were already lost.

The professors, however, experienced what it felt like to go from “knowing fish” to “understanding salmon, trout, carp, whale, gill, and even the legendary Kun fish.” Their brains worked at full speed, but within a minute, they all called for a pause, asking Si Qi to slow down, to go even slower. They crouched around the seemingly ordinary yet now profoundly significant piece of paper, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.

The leading soldier couldn’t understand what Si Qi was saying, but the expressions on the professors’ faces made it clear that Si Qi was the real deal. His gaze shifted to the small, light-blue object in the hands of the staff, and his demeanor changed instantly. It was as if he were looking at something of national importance, something worth protecting with his life—a cornerstone of the nation’s future. His expression grew resolute, his attitude solemn.

He turned around, took out an encrypted phone, and spoke sternly to the person on the other end. The call lasted five minutes, during which he repeatedly and meticulously went over the details, fearing even the slightest oversight.

Shortly after, while the audience in the main hall remained completely unaware, Si Qi was quietly and heavily guarded by soldiers as he was escorted to a vehicle, heading straight for a military base.

At that moment, no one knew that a groundbreaking discovery, one that would shock the world and mark a new era, was about to emerge.

…

Ten hours later, Si Qi stood in front of a whiteboard, facing a group of elderly professors and academicians who had rushed from all over the country, most with graying hair. He spoke with ease, “That covers everything. Any questions?”

A sea of hands shot up in the audience, each person looking at Si Qi with eagerness, hoping to be called on first.

Si Qi casually pointed to one person. The elderly man, out of respect, insisted on standing up shakily rather than speaking to Si Qi while seated. His eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge as he asked, “Could you explain how to solve the equation in the fourth line of the third whiteboard?”

He held a notebook in one hand and a pen in the other, his attitude very earnest.

A soldier standing nearby quickly moved the third whiteboard to the front for Si Qi to see.

Si Qi glanced back and said, “p = s/g∫5∪, so 3s/g∑1p…”

The elderly man listened with some difficulty, pondering over the equation in his notebook for a while before suddenly nodding with understanding, repeatedly murmuring, “I see, I see…”

Seeing that he had no further questions, Si Qi called on a second person, who also stood up, his face alight with excitement as he asked, “The equation on the second line of the sixth whiteboard…”

Si Qi glanced back, but before he could answer, an elderly academician sitting next to the professor interjected, “Isn’t that the DC equation? The one that won the Fields Medal last year. Why are you asking about that?”

The professor paused, scrutinized the equation, and then blushed with embarrassment. “Oh… you’re right. My apologies, Mr. Si, for the interruption.”

Si Qi nodded without comment and called on the next person.

Meanwhile, in a room several doors down from where Si Qi was, Chu Feng, who wasn’t qualified to sit in on the scientific meeting, sat stiffly in his seat. Across from him was the soldier who had escorted them from the science museum earlier.

Although the soldier tried his best to maintain a calm and friendly demeanor, the aura ingrained in his very bones was impossible to hide, making Chu Feng, still a child, feel somewhat uneasy.

Nevertheless, Chu Feng mustered his courage and asked, “It’s so late. Is Si Qi still in the meeting?”

The soldier replied gently, “It might take a while longer.”

For something this important, even a meeting that lasted days and nights wouldn’t be excessive.

Chu Feng pressed on, “It’s too late. Si Qi should rest. Did you prepare dinner for him?”

The soldier was momentarily taken aback before responding, “Food and water were sent over, but they haven’t eaten.”

At a time like this, who could spare a thought for food? Their eyes were too busy devouring the equations.

Chu Feng couldn’t help but frown, clearly holding back his temper, only refraining from speaking out because they were military personnel. His displeasure was evident.

The soldier found the young man’s reaction amusing and asked, “Are you and Mr. Si friends?”

Chu Feng nodded sullenly, his face showing little joy.

The soldier, finding the young man’s thoughts easy to read, said, “You didn’t know he was this remarkable?”

Chu Feng lowered his head and replied, “I knew he was smart, but I didn’t realize he was this smart. Besides, I didn’t become friends with him because he’s smart. He’s a good person, very kind…”

The soldier smiled and said, “Isn’t that a good thing?”

Chu Feng sighed, feeling a bit unsettled. “Can we still be friends in the future…? You all value him so much. Maybe it’ll be hard for me to even see him again.”

The soldier reassured him, “You’ll still be able to meet.”

But it certainly wouldn’t be as easy as before, where they could see each other anytime, anywhere.

If Si Qi truly helped the nation achieve controlled nuclear fusion, his status would skyrocket to an extraordinary level, becoming a figure of global attention.

Of course, his personal freedom wouldn’t be an issue—they would undoubtedly ensure this genius lived a comfortable and unrestricted life.

But some things would inevitably change.

To give the simplest example, at least for the time being, Si Qi won’t be able to travel abroad. Or rather, for the next few years, until the controlled nuclear fusion project is successfully implemented and the nation leverages this technology to negotiate substantial benefits with other countries, it will be absolutely impossible for him to leave.

This wasn’t for the purpose of confinement or any other reason, but purely because it was too dangerous.

Countries eager to obtain this technology would undoubtedly go to extreme, desperate, and reckless lengths to get their hands on Si Qi and extract the knowledge from his mind.

It was an unavoidable situation.

The atmosphere in the room grew heavy. Chu Feng felt particularly upset, as if he had lost his best friend, his lips drooping as he sat there in sullen silence.

About an hour later, the clock on the wall struck 2 a.m., and a soldier knocked on the door, addressing the two inside, “The meeting is over. Mr. Si has asked to see Chu Feng.”

Chu Feng’s eyes lit up, his previously gloomy expression instantly brightening. He eagerly stood up and said to the soldier, “Where is he? Take me to him right away!”

Without wasting any time, the soldier led Chu Feng out.

They turned a corner and arrived at an unremarkable room. When the door was pushed open, Si Qi was sitting sideways on the sofa, arms crossed, seemingly deep in thought.

Seeing Chu Feng enter, Si Qi waved him over, gesturing for him to sit beside him.

Chu Feng sat down, though his mind was weighed down with concerns, making him appear preoccupied.

Si Qi didn’t notice his change in demeanor and said to him, “We’ll stay here one more day tomorrow and head home on Monday.”

Chu Feng: “…………”

Chu Feng’s eyes widened in surprise, and he let out a strange exclamation, “Huh?!” Of course, he knew that the “home” Si Qi was referring to wasn’t his adoptive parents’ house, but the place where they had been living together recently.

Hearing the noise, Si Qi looked over in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

Chu Feng couldn’t hold back, “You still want to go back?!”

Si Qi frowned, “Why wouldn’t I? Don’t you want me to come?”

Chu Feng shook his head frantically, “No, no! It’s just… I’m just worried…”

Si Qi laughed, “Worried about what? That we’ll be separated?”

Chu Feng’s face turned slightly red, and he said sheepishly, “Yeah…”

Si Qi smiled warmly, “Don’t worry, I won’t leave you. I told you I’d stay by your side for a lifetime.”

Chu Feng felt both excited and inexplicably nervous, his cheeks flushing as he shyly asked, “Really?”

Si Qi nodded matter-of-factly, “Of course, it’s true. You’re the most important person in the world to me.”

He said this with great seriousness, his tone leaving no room for doubt.

Chu Feng’s face turned so red it looked like it might drip blood.

As the two spoke, the door remained open. The soldier guarding the entrance couldn’t help but make a strange expression, tempted to turn around and glance at the two teenagers inside.

Why did this conversation sound so… odd?

Chu Feng spoke softly, as if making a solemn vow to Si Qi, “You are… you are also the most important person to me…”

As he spoke, his ears and neck turned red, like a shrimp being boiled.

Even the soldier outside the door felt his ears burning and his whole body growing uncomfortable from the conversation between these two youngsters.

Yet, Si Qi, one of the parties involved, remained completely calm and composed, nodding as if nothing unusual had happened, and said, “I know. We promised to stay together for a lifetime.”

Chu Feng’s face was flushed red, and he lowered his head, unable to say anything. His sparkling eyes flickered with a mix of surprise and joy, wondering if Si Qi’s words carried any deeper meaning.

The soldier at the door looked as if he had stumbled upon some incredible secret: Oh ho, seems like I’ve overheard something big! Should I report this to the higher-ups? Looks like we’ll have to protect Chu Feng as a ‘family member’ too in the future!!

In the end, Si Qi was held up by the eager group of research experts for a full four days before he could finally break free.

On the fifth day, Si Qi said to the soldier responsible for his safety, “I need to go home for a bit.”

The soldier nodded, indicating it was no problem.

However, before they set off, the soldier hesitated and said to Si Qi, “There have been some strange rumors online recently. Please don’t pay them any mind. We’ll handle it for you.”

Si Qi nodded, showing that it didn’t bother him.

During these days, to maintain secrecy, Si Qi and Chu Feng had been completely cut off from the internet. However, Si Qi had Xiu Xiu, and if anything happened outside, Xiu Xiu would inform him immediately.

Si Qi felt that the matter was insignificant and chose not to intervene, leaving it to the authorities to handle. He trusted that they would provide a satisfactory resolution.

Chu Feng, unaware of what Si Qi and the soldier had discussed, quickly pulled out his terminal to search for news. After browsing for just a short while, he was infuriated by the comments online.

A few days earlier, Si Qi had publicly declared in front of a large audience that he had mastered controlled nuclear fusion, causing a significant stir at the scene. This incident quickly spread among netizens and became a hot topic.

In this era of entertainment-driven media, outlets often resort to sensationalism and taking things out of context to grab public attention, with little regard for the feelings of those they discuss. They focus on topics that are likely to spark controversy and attract public interest, emphasizing certain aspects while downplaying others.

Most netizens didn’t have the time to watch the entire technical presentation Si Qi gave at the science fair, which lasted several dozen minutes. Instead, they quickly grasp the “whole truth” through short videos or text summaries. This inevitably led to some jarring contrasts, such as Si Qi first commanding a small dog to drive a toy car, then claiming that the same dog utilized controlled nuclear fusion technology. Following this, well-dressed, scholarly-looking individuals, claiming to be experts, solemnly and seriously explained the immense difficulty of controlled nuclear fusion. They mentioned how numerous powerful nations had spent decades and invested hundreds of billions in researching this technology without success.

Yet now, a teenager who hadn’t even fully matured was said to have effortlessly applied this technology to a robotic dog that could wield a spatula. This was touted as a sign of national strength through youthful vigor, with the host adding a particularly sarcastic tone and expression.

The audience’s reaction, as one might expect, was a wave of mockery and ridicule.

“HAHAHAHA, this is killing me! Controlled nuclear fusion? If he really had that kind of skill, he’d already be a famous professor. How come I’ve never heard of this guy before? Desperate for fame, huh?”

“Pfft—controlled nuclear fusion? And miniaturized? A battery? Is this guy out of his mind? He’s really got the guts to make up such nonsense!”

“No wonder the organizers dragged him off stage. Ugh, this news even made it overseas. What an embarrassment to our country.”

Some people even dug up the original contestant’s background based on the competition’s participant information, posting his report cards without censoring anything, and loudly proclaiming:

“See? I told you it was a publicity stunt! Look, this guy has been scoring zero since elementary school. Unbelievable! It’s even rarer than straight-A students!”

“Scoring zero for over a decade, and then suddenly ranking first nationwide? HAHAHA, couldn’t even cheat convincingly. What was his management company thinking? Anyone with half a brain wouldn’t do this!”

“First, he fakes being a top student nationwide, then he comes up with this robotic dog and claims he’s cracked controlled nuclear fusion. Holy crap, his imagination is bigger than the universe. I, Long Aotian, bow to your audacity. You’re even better at pretending than I am!”

Netizens were having a field day with the drama. Many who had heard of Si Qi before came forward to join in.

“I remember this guy being really dumb. Couldn’t get a word out even if you hit him three times. Looked kind of slow, like he had some IQ issues.”

“Oh, it’s him? I remember him. We were in the same class before I transferred. He’d sleep as soon as he got to school. Teachers and classmates all hated him. He’s not just a bad student—he’s way worse than that!”

“It’s been days, and he hasn’t shown his face. Probably too ashamed after the embarrassment and hiding away now!”

“Hehe, my house is very close to his, and I just drove over to his place to ask around. I heard that he hasn’t shown up at home or school for several days. The two parents spoke of him with particular disdain, and when they heard about the things he did online, hehehe, they immediately started cursing, saying that they had been disgraced by him, which is just hilarious~! Attached video: [Si Qi’s parents scolding their son for seeking attention.avi]”

In the video, the two parents express extreme disdain for their son. When the interviewer mentioned, “I heard that Si Qi has always scored zero in exams, and it seems he might have some intellectual issues,” their expressions became complicated. They admitted that Si Qi had indeed always scored zero, saying that the child had never seemed smart since he was young and was good at nothing, as if they were trying to justify themselves.

After learning the “truth,” netizens had an epiphany:

“So it was all a publicity stunt, I knew it! The way he spoke so mysteriously and confidently almost made me believe him. His acting skills are truly amazing, pretending to be so nonchalant and natural!”

“But that face of his is quite good-looking, otherwise, how could he have been chosen by the hype company? With such good looks, even without brains, he can become famous and popular! (pouts)”

“Such people should be banned! Seeking attention and misleading the public, their intentions are condemnable!”

Chu Feng clicked open the post and glanced through it, finding it full of such comments. He was so angry that his hand holding the terminal was trembling, and his eyes were filled with furious bloodshot veins.

He couldn’t understand why Si Qi, who had just invented some things and hadn’t done anything to wrong others, was being ridiculed by these netizens. On what grounds were these people attacking Si Qi, and what right did they have?

The officials were also very unhappy when they learned about this matter, but the existence of controlled nuclear fusion was too important. Before fully mastering this technology, they couldn’t make too much noise. To casually acknowledge due to online hype that Si Qi had indeed developed such cutting-edge technology would only attract the covetousness of foreign forces and bring about unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, they did not immediately step forward to correct and point out the truth of the matter. Instead, they first protected Si Qi and expedited the advancement of various technologies, such as the popularization of earthquake prediction technology, etc. Before controlled nuclear fusion was officially mastered, they planned to promote Si Qi’s name through other means.

They believed that this technology alone would be enough for people all over the world to respect and be grateful to him, and those netizens who mocked Si Qi would not dare to make fun of him anymore. If anyone continued to insult Si Qi for the sake of sensationalism, the officials would personally step in to let those people know what should and should not be said.

The soldier said with a serious face: “You can rest assured, the country will not let those people continue to talk nonsense, but for now, the policy hopes to keep this technology confidential, at least until its feasibility is confirmed, we need to keep a low profile…”

Chu Feng glared at him indignantly, and the soldier felt somewhat guilty under the gaze that was like a small beast, and quickly comforted: “But earthquake prediction and laser technology have already been confirmed, you can rest assured, the corresponding announcements are being prepared, the country will not mistreat any meritorious servant! In a few days when you go online again, you will definitely not see any slander, if anyone still dares to deliberately spread rumors, they will be arrested for the crime of malicious defamation! We will clear your name, please believe in the country!”

Chu Feng couldn’t really stop being angry because of these words, but he couldn’t take out his anger on the officials who wanted to protect Si Qi because of others’ mistakes, so he could only turn his head away indignantly, clenching his fists, his mood very unsettled.

Seeing Chu Feng so concerned about him, Si Qi felt warm in his heart, not feeling depressed at all, but somewhat sweet. He took Chu Feng’s hand, took him to get in the car, and even joked with him about “taking you to meet the parents”, and soon Chu Feng had no mind to think about those things.

And at the place they were about to go, a group of people were chattering about the news online.

“Hey, I thought he was an honest and decent guy, who knew he was so unreliable.”

“After being looked down upon for so many years, he must have been really bottled up! Now that he finally got the first place in the country, he just got carried away! Just tinkering with something, he really thinks he’s become a great inventor.”

The sound of sarcastic remarks echoed through this small street. As soon as people opened their terminals, they were greeted with countless news articles capitalizing on the trend, making it impossible not to notice.

Many had previously heard misunderstandings about Si Qi and hadn’t had the chance to praise him for a few days before their impressions of him were completely overturned by such events, leading to all sorts of comments.

Originally, the original owner’s dull and unlikable personality didn’t endear him to his neighbors, and his relationships with those around him weren’t particularly good. Now, faced with overwhelming public opinion attacks, few were willing to stand up and speak for him, most choosing to remain silent, listening to the surrounding chatter about Si Qi.

Teachers and classmates at the school were quite depressed about this. They didn’t know what was really going on with Si Qi, only that he was indeed a genius, and no one doubted that.

But no matter how much of a genius one was, it was unlikely that he could single-handedly conquer a tower that even the world’s top talents couldn’t shake, and even leap three or four eras ahead to reach the level of controlled nuclear fusion batteries.

Even students who had previously admired Si Qi wouldn’t blindly believe him to such an extent. Faced with the overwhelming mocking voices online, everyone felt indignant and unwilling, yet were powerless. It was so frustrating, they couldn’t even say a word..

What could they say? That Si Qi really had this capability, that he could definitely do it?

Where was the confidence for that.

Especially Si Qi’s stepbrother, Si Songyi, who had finally had a chance to hold his head high recently. After skipping school for more than ten days, he specifically ran to the school and loudly criticized him, constantly belittling Si Qi’s mental state and self-righteousness.

He also said that the classmates had been deceived by Si Qi, and having lived with Si Qi for so many years, how could he not know what kind of person Si Qi was? Even if he was good at studying, he was essentially a foolish and clumsy guy, with no merits other than being good at exams.
