“You’re good at guessing, aren’t you? Keep guessing!” Finn Lewis rolled his eyes.

Gregory Worthington was also at a loss for words, “How could I ever guess? But now, I’m really curious about your experiences, tell me quickly.”

“You’ll know soon enough.” Finn Lewis teased, refusing to disclose anything despite Gregory Worthington’s interest, just laughing mischievously.

“As a boss, you should be open-minded.” Gregory Worthington rolled his eyes in response.

“I thought scientists were all really rigid? Why does this guy suddenly seem so off?” Finn Lewis was puzzled.

Since Jack Lewis was preparing to release people, Finn Lewis took Gregory Worthington directly to Proudshire. As for what Jack Lewis and the others would make of it, he didn’t care. Sometime, not hiding could be more effective than hiding. He suspected that Jack Lewis wouldn’t expect the Hustle Spot’s research base to be in Proudshire.<し

Even though Finn Lewis had bought a rather large plot of private land here, it was purchased too recently to have established a large research base in such a short time.

Gregory Worthington was curious all the way until they landed. Even then, he was still looking curiously at his surroundings. “Have you never left the Flame Nation?” Finn Lewis couldn’t help asking.

Gregory Worthington shook his head: “No, I’ve only been to three cities in my life, and I didn’t stay in each of them for very long. Although I spent a considerable amount of time in Celeston City, most of it was in a mental hospital.”

The casualness of Gregory Worthington’s words stirred an odd feeling in Finn Lewis. Seeing his nonchalant face, he suddenly realized that these people were indeed worthy of respect. So many scientists, like them, had hardly been anywhere in their lives, dedicating most of their time to the lab and various experimental equipment. Perhaps only with such personal devotion could the world advance at such a rapid pace.

“Don’t admire me. Everyone has different life habits. Perhaps for you, the world is worth exploring. But for us, the world is nothing special. Take the scenery for example, every scenic spot is nothing more than an accumulation of basic elements on this planet. For example, all these majestic mountains are just a block-like structure made of silicon dioxide plus some aluminum oxide and other elements, what’s there to see?” Gregory Worthington shrugged nonchalantly at the expression on Finn Lewis’ face.

Gregory Worthington’s explanation left Finn Lewis somewhat bewildered. Jesus! What a theory! This was the first time Finn Lewis had ever heard someone claim that scenic landscapes are nothing more than block-like structures made up of silicon dioxide and aluminum oxide. Wow! This theory really blew his mind, but you couldn’t say it was wrong… it was indeed factual.

Gregory wasn’t on the same plane of thought as the others, “…So, you don’t have to worry about my feelings. In my view, rather than observing the block structures made of silicon dioxide, I prefer to observe the structure of atoms or particles, cosmic rays, and so forth. These are the landscapes I like.” Gregory added another comment.

Finn Lewis could only nod helplessly. Now he understood the kind of thinking pattern a person like Gregory Worthington had. Earlier on the plane, Gregory had been chatting non-stop with Jim Lewis. He’d figured out why Jim Lewis had accidentally revealed his robotic identity. Not even the most sophisticated robot could compete with the fierceness of human curiosity.

Throughout the journey, Gregory Worthington had been discussing the flight attendants’ physiques with Jim Lewis.”)). Most importantly, they hadn’t simply discussed their figures, which is something a man might often do, but they had also calculated how much force Kevin Lo’a breasts would withstand if he fell from an altitude of 10,000 meters… Was this a subject for humans to even discuss?

But the most important thing was that amid such ambiguous discussion, Gregory Worthington kept raising questions like how to attract a woman’s attention in bed, or discussing human psychology and genetics with Jim Lewis. In short, after listening to their conversations, Finn Lewis had given up.

This wasn’t human conversation, dammit! It was probably during these kinds of discussions that Jim Lewis’ identity had been discovered. There was bound to be differences between how a robot responds to questions and a human guard does.

After landing, Finn Lewis took Gregory Worthington straight to the base, this time not taking him into the mansion, but directly into the base from the warehouse. Upon entering the base, Gregory Worthington immediately put on a serious face. As Finn Lewis’s car approached the space-time gate, Gregory Worthington asked, “The construction here couldn’t possibly have been completed by an ordinary construction team, could it? Did you use some unknown methods for the building materials?”

“Yes.” Finn Lewis couldn’t help but applaud internally, impressed that in such a short time Gregory Worthington could notice the unusual features of the base.

“Don’t look at me like that. It’s really not difficult to figure out. The architecture of these buildings, and the depth and location of our entrance to the underground, as well as the weight it can bear, made it quite easy to calculate. Buildings like these can’t be supported using Earth’s construction methods or materials.” Gregory Worthington shook his head.

This is what you call not difficult to analyze? Finn Lewis was dumbfounded. You don’t seem to have used any tools, right? You can analyze so much data just by visual inspection… Jesus Christ, this is beyond belief.

“But what makes me curious is that a structure like this, constructed with extraordinarily strong materials, wouldn’t just be stable; it would also have a very high seismic resistance. Most importantly, though I can’t analyze what grade of building material you used, as long as it can support such a structure, then there must be a large amount of energy being used at the bottom of this building,” said Gregory Worthington, indicating the area under his feet.

Finn Lewis simply gave Gregory Worthington a thumbs up, impressed. Indeed, these so-called geeks are really troublesome, able to infer so much just by what they observe. Finn Lewis now understands why Jack Lewis would assign someone to keep an eye on Gregory Worthington. Such people, their minds, are genius level.
