On the bumper car.
“Ahhhh! Come at me, you’ll see whether I crash you to death!” Hong Dali controlled the steering wheel and fiercely stepped on the accelerator. Outside the bumper car booth, it was packed with people. Everyone laughed heartily as they watched Hong Dali leading Lin Chuyin to crash into the other cars, and of course, most of the time, they were hit till their car almost overturned—that fellow had attracted just too much fury from the others...
On the other hand, Lin Chuyin sat at the seat next to the driver’s seat, but what she thought about was a different matter. “Mm, the concept of this car is not bad, it’s just that its speed is not fast enough. So there’s no point to take part in a competition with it.”
Hong Dali: “Um, Chuyin, we’re just playing it for fun, don’t think of all these things... But what did you say just now? Competition? How can this bumper car compete in a competition?”
“Actually, it’s simple.” Lin Chuyin still held on to the edge of Hong Dali’s clothes and didn’t let go. “As long as the capacity of the storage battery is large enough, the racing track can be constructed, and then use the anticollision rubber setup of the bumper car. That way, the speed can be increased.”
“Uh... This...” Hong Dali was a little despondent. “En, let’s go and play first, it’s a rare opportunity that you’re not anxious to research on things. But...” Speaking up to this point, his eyes suddenly lit up. “You’re talking about ‘Crazyracing Kartrider,’ right? Aye, speaking of which, this idea is great! Wahahaha, this is good, this is good. I’ve got a new idea on how to squander again!”
“‘Crazyracing Kartrider’?” Lin Chuyin naturally wouldn’t understand the meaning of this term. “What’s that?”
“‘Crazyracing Kartrider’, there’s much to say about this!” In his previous life, Crazyracing Kartrider was popular for a long period of time. Hong Dali was naturally very familiar with it. “It’s a type of leisure car racing game. But it’s different from other racing games, because it needs to add the ‘drifting key,’ and you can use props during the competition! En, those props currently are more troublesome to make, but I’ve thought of an even more awesome one!”
After they were knocked on two more times and knocked other people at the same time, Hong Dali continued, “We can consider making the racing track slightly more slippery, then it’s more suitable for drifting. At the same time, the speed of the car can be slightly slower to prevent any accidents. In that case, if we make an interesting topography as well... Wahahahaha, by then, we’ll start this up at our park at Tianjing Mountain! Chuyin, what do you think?”
“Mm, OK.” Lin Chuyin insipidly said, “I’ll solve the technical aspects.”
“Ah, that.” Hong Dali smiled and shook his head. “There’s no hurry in studying into that. We’ll just play whatever we like today!” After bumping for a while more, Hong Dali felt rather bored. Just then, the time was up as well. Thus, the two of them instantly got off the car. Hong Dali pointed at a Ferris Wheel from afar. “Chuyin, let’s sit on that one!”
“OK.” Now, Lin Chuyin practically wouldn’t object to any of Hong Dali’s suggestions. Thus, once she heard that Hong Dali wanted to sit on the Ferris Wheel, she instantly agreed.
On the Ferris Wheel.
“Chuyin,” Hong Dali and Lin Chuyin sat side by side. Hong Dali asked, “I heard that you’re a member of that so-called Holy Grail organization. Is this organization very powerful? Can you tell me about it?”
“Mm,” Lin Chuyin nodded. “If we’re talking about Holy Grail, we need to start from the organization called Mensa.
“Mensa is an organization that was set up for smart people. Mensa was created to aid the smart people in forming a league and, through participating in extremely challenging activities, allow the organization members to have their high intelligence quotients recognized.
“Currently, Mensa has around 100,000 members spread throughout more than 100 countries and territories in the world.
“If you want to join Mensa, you need to go through an exam with test papers, with a total of 30 questions. The converted intelligence quotient is 148, which is the standard to enter the Mensa club.
“This test usually tests on the few aspects of concentration ability, observation ability, logical thinking, imagination, and memory. The ratio of these aspects in the test is roughly equal, and if you’re better at some of these questions, it indicates that you’re more outstanding in that particular aspect.”
After hearing Lin Chuyin up to this point, Hong Dali was instantly shocked. “A Mensa that has more than 100,000 members in the whole world requires an intelligence quotient of at least 148?! What the heck, I don’t even know whether I’ll be eligible for it?”
Lin Chuyin looked at Hong Dali, thought for a while, then nodded and said, “Currently, there’s a set of free of charge mock questions on the internet. If your marks exceed 130, you still can make it. Actually. Mensa is not at all mysterious. If you really want to try it out, you can just log in to their official website and sign up for it.”
“This...” Hong Dali hurriedly discarded the topic. “Forget it, I’ve never believed that my intelligence quotient would be that high.”
What the heck, if the Great Prodigal System had this attribute of intelligence level, I’m definitely going to fill it to the brim. Unfortunately, it didn’t have it. Thus, Hong Dali could only express his deep regret...
After speaking about Mensa, Lin Chuyin started to explain to Hong Dali about Holy Grail. “Only the ones with the highest intelligence quotient in Mensa can join the Holy Grail organization. Currently, the exact number of Holy Grail members in the world is 52, all with an intelligence quotient of 180 and above. I belong to the front rank in there, but there are still people ranked above me.”
Hong Dali: “...”
What the heck, stronger than Chuyin, what kind of people would that be? Would they destroy the world?
“Chuyin, that,” Hong Dali asked, “It can’t be that Holy Grail members all specialize in science and technology and military weapons, right?”
This question was just too important. If there were 52 people that were madly obsessed about war, Hong Dali wouldn’t be the least surprised if they researched into atomic bombs and whatnots by themselves—in fact, as long as Chuyin was given sufficient raw materials, she’d probably be able to make an atomic bomb out of them...
“No.” Lin Chuyin slowly said, “There are various types of people among the Holy Grail members, and everyone likes different things. I’m better at science and technology and military weapons, some like drawing, and there are others that like to study into how to play pranks as well.”
By then, Hong Dali understood why the nation paid so much attention to Chuyin...
Her status as a Holy Grail member wasn’t important, what was important was what she was good at.
A pure-bred technological geek who researched into science and technology and military weapons, anyone else would treat her like a treasure as well!
“These members are all not very dangerous,” What Chuyin said now was the real heavy bomb. “The truly dangerous person is someone called Zhang Yi. She likes to study the aspect of the genetic evolution of living beings. Mm, oh right, she’s the second Holy Grail member in Heavenly State apart from me. She is very aggressive.”
“Heavenly State has another one!” This was really huge breaking news. From the name, it seemed to be a female as well, just that he didn’t know how old she was or whether she had developed anything yet. Looks like, in the future, it wouldn’t be impossible for mutants, Spider-men or Hulks to appear!
Take note, he must take note of this!
Especially since Lin Chuyin had said that she was very aggressive, this was really extremely important—I have to be as far as I can from her. No matter what, I have to avoid bumping into her!
Actually, speaking up to this point, the matter related to Holy Grail was already more or less explained. The problem was that it was unknown whether Lin Chuyin had meant what she said as she suddenly added, “Also, there’s someone else in the Holy Grail called Vincent Iverson. He’s a Merikan, and his hobby is launching hacking attacks.”
Vincent Iverson, hobby is launching hacking attacks, that doesn’t seem to have any relation to me, right?
Afterward, very soon, Hong Dali knew that he’d thought too lightly about that...
Because Lin Chuyin continued to say, “Mm, it looks like, he quite likes me... I don’t know whether it’ll affect you in any way.”
