Chapter 949: Chapter 927: Being a Top Student in the 1980s 55

"Uh-huh."

Anning nodded heavily: "If you don’t believe it, let’s experiment. Do you have a gun? Shoot at me, and see if I get hurt?"

"Nonsense."

Yu Shen’s face darkened, pulling Anning towards his office: "I know you don’t want so many people following you, but you can’t be so reckless."

Anning was quite upset, shook off Yu Shen’s hand and argued with him: "How am I being reckless? You haven’t tried it, so how do you know I’m wrong? It has to be tested to be sure."

Yu Shen was about to pull Anning into the office to talk to her properly.

But Anning ran off.

Yu Shen quickly chased after her.

Anning ran out of the lab building and was running in the institute’s courtyard. After a few steps, out of nowhere, a bicycle rushed straight towards Anning.

"Get out of the way."

Yu Shen was startled, ran over wanting to pull Anning away.

The cyclist was also shocked.

Where did this girl come from, rushing straight ahead and not dodging?

He braked urgently, but it was too late.

Just as the bicycle was about to hit Anning, suddenly, a transparent object enveloped her, rapidly hardening and changing color. Within a second or two, it had become a steel-like shell, completely enclosing Anning within.

"This is..."

Yu Shen hurriedly ran over to take a look.

The cyclist couldn’t care about the bike anymore and jumped over next to Anning.

Soon, a few more people came out of the experimental building, surrounding Anning and looking curiously.

Anning was quite proud: "Uncle Yu, you see, isn’t this thing useful? As long as any dangerous situations appear near me, it’ll protect me. You see this shell outside? Bullets can’t penetrate it, chemicals can’t cause any damage, you could say needles can’t prick it, and water can’t penetrate it. There’s nothing in this world that can destroy it."

Yu Shen tapped on the metal casing enveloping Anning, and called people to conduct experiments.

Indeed, as Anning said, the casing couldn’t be cut open with steel-cutting knives, nor was damaged by highly corrosive chemicals.

"You see, I said I don’t need a bodyguard."

Anning was even prouder now.

Yu Shen was convinced.

"This thing is indeed good, really amazing."

A researcher said to Anning: "Anning, come out quickly, let’s test this protective cover more."

Yu Shen nodded: "Come out quickly, we’ll conduct a few more experiments."

They all thought Anning could easily get out.

Unexpectedly, what came was Anning’s desperate cry.

"Ah, it’s broken, I’m doomed."

"What’s wrong?"

Yu Shen hurriedly asked.

In his mind, Anning’s importance rose several notches; Anning, who could make such a high-tech protective cover in just over a month, was simply a super genius, a key object of focus and care: "Is there discomfort? Or..."

Anning no longer looked proud: "Yes, I can’t get out."

"Huh?"

Now, everyone was dumbstruck.

Anning explained: "Initially, the protective cover activated when I almost got hit, it was the level one protection program, and I could get out. But I forgot about that and let you all experiment several more times. Now the ultimate protection program is activated, and... I haven’t yet figured out how to get out."

"What are we going to do?"

If she can’t get out, what to do?

Everyone stared foolishly at the silver-white egg-shaped object in the courtyard; surely, Anning can’t be left here?

Moreover, how will she eat? She can’t just starve to death here.

Anning was also embarrassed: "I’ve embarrassed myself, I just wanted to show off, but ended up trapping myself."

"Get a few people to move her indoors first."

Having no choice, Yu Shen got a few people to carry Anning indoors, then started calling everywhere, inviting all the heavyweight scientists over.

Afterwards, several old men and women, and many middle-aged people surrounded the egg-shaped object and conducted research.

"Regardless of potential damage, we must get the child out first."

An old man suggested: "Let’s think of a way to cut open this thing."

But with what?

This posed a particular challenge.

One old lady teased Anning: "Child, you’ve really cocooned yourself this time, huh."

Anning grimaced: "Please don’t make fun of me, I’m mortified."

After waiting for most of the day, still no one had come up with a way to get Anning out.

Anning spoke to Yu Shen: "Uncle Yu, go find Xiao Yuan, perhaps he might have a solution."

Yu Shen then sent someone to fetch Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan came, understood the situation, and couldn’t help but laugh.

Seeing Anning looking like an egg, Xiao Yuan couldn’t hold back his laughter: "What were you thinking? You focused on safety but didn’t consider how to get out?"

Anning’s face dropped: "Alright, quickly figure it out, I’m hungry and tired, I want roasted duck, want roast chicken, want to sleep, I’m starving to death..."

She really wanted to cry.

Xiao Yuan smiled and said: "Dummy, activate the self-destruct mechanism."

"The self-destruct mechanism is outside."

Anning weakly replied.

Xiao Yuan circled the egg, then found the self-destruct mechanism, soon inputting the command. Within a minute, the entire egg rapidly dissolved, without hurting Anning at all, the egg-shaped thing completely vanished.

This...

Was truly black technology.

Forgive everyone for their limited knowledge, truly not expecting there’d be such a thing.

Anning was freed.

She held her stomach, ignoring everything else, and went straight to the restroom.

When she came out, she clung to Yu Shen, crying: "Uncle Yu, I’m hungry, I want meat, I want delicious food."

A hungry child must be fed, right?

Yes, definitely, arrangements made.

Thus, a large table of dishes was laid before Anning.

The old scientists surrounded Anning, watching curiously. While Anning ate, they stared at her as if she were some rare treasure.

Aren’t she just a treasure? A fourteen-year-old able to make a protective cover that might not even appear in sci-fi novels, who knows how her brain works? What kind of intelligence does she have?

She’s a national treasure.

Several old men and women smiled kindly at Anning: "Child, eat slowly, don’t choke, drink some water, there’s plenty of food."

Xiao Yuan sat beside Anning, serving her dishes, Anning didn’t even need to look, Xiao Yuan placed what she liked right in front of her.

After serving the dishes, Xiao Yuan ladled soup for Anning.

Several old men turned to Xiao Yuan: "Young man, interested in joining the institute?"

Xiao Yuan didn’t even lift his eyelids: "I study literature."

"Why study literature?" The old men slapped the table: "Young man, with such intelligence and capability, you should study science. But it’s not too late now, young people, switch from arts to science, study well, how about being a scientist?"

Xiao Yuan shook his head: "Not interested."

Yu Shen also had high hopes for Xiao Yuan: "Yuanzi, the old men are right, you’re quite suited for science and research."

Xiao Yuan added more soup for Anning, gazed at her tenderly, wiped her mouth with a napkin.

"Uncle Yu, if both the husband and wife engage in research, who manages the home? Who takes care of the kids..."

What does this mean?

Yu Shen was confused.

Xiao Yuan chuckled: "Ningning likes research, she’ll be busy in the future, may overlook family, so I’ll need to handle more of the household duties. I just want to be a literati, a freelancer, publish two books a year, earn money to support the family, do housework, take care of the kids, while Ningning charges ahead on the front lines, I’ll stabilize the rear."

"You..."

Yu Shen looked at Xiao Yuan, then at Anning: "You two... aren’t implying what I’m thinking, are you?"
