After parting with Maynard, forty = went to a hot spring first. Although Maynard's opinion wasn't very constructive, it did let Forty-two let go of some pressure.

He took a good soak in a hot spring, dried his body and put on a white bathrobe. Under the guidance of the maids, he came to the dining table with steam all over his body and slightly damp hair. To Forty Two's surprise, Chang Xiyi didn't come to eat. Instead, he entrusted the maid who took care of him to come and apologize. He obviously said many times on the road that Maynard was his childhood occasion. Nader is his idol, he won't come to eat.

After all, Chang Xiyi's current body is unable to eat, and it is worse to come to the table but not eat, than to ask for leave and not come... Another reason may be, seeing that Maynard does not have any mechanical groups? . He has not genetically adjusted himself, so Chang Xi probably doesn't know how to face his idol. Maynard himself is not opposed to genetic modification, nor does he have any prejudice against the installation of mechanical prosthetics or synthetic or bionic people. But he refused the doctor's prescription for anti-aging agents. He had said it before the media. Maynard has no obsession with a long life. He's not willing to replace his heart, liver or kidneys, he'd rather eat a healthy diet, obey a normal routine, get natural...and eventually die of old age.

That's right. Maynard sees aging as a romance.

Maynard was relatively young when he made the claim. Many people think that Maynard's words belong to standing up and talking without back pain, and it will be really delicious after waiting for others. Therefore, his interview records were edited into videos by people and circulated as funny material on the Internet. It wasn't until the former... that they suddenly realized that Maynard was serious back then.

He really didn't want to extend his lifespan, but wanted to meet his natural death when his lifespan was approaching.

Some people think this is a pain in the ass, but many people believe in his free and easy life attitude—not every world-class nobleman can abandon the longevity that is within reach at will, and greet death indifferently. In this era, whether it is artificial internal organs or mechanical brains, they can greatly extend human life. With the help of artificial intelligence, mortal diseases are also vulnerable. The final choice is to exchange a huge donation for the permission of the white box agreement to replace a young body before his death. 0 Whether it is a synthetic human or a bionic human, the body quality will be better than the previous one. Taking a step back, if they really don't want to use the white box to transfer their memories, they can also directly freeze their bodies and hand over the family business to a bionic person with a long lifespan. Wait for the technology to be updated before waking them up to achieve real longevity.

In short, in this day and age, death is no longer something to be feared.

Their technology has allowed them to initially defeat death...or at least be able to escape death.

But Maynard is the only one who can live a peaceful and fulfilling life without inferiority or self-deprecation, and face death calmly. This is the charisma from Maynard.

Going back...Maynard will uphold this philosophy now, and perhaps it has something to do with Leonardo's teachings to Michelot in his youth and the impact on his outlook on life. In front of Maynard, Chang Xiyi, who abandoned his human body to escape death, inevitably looked a little embarrassed.

He didn't dare to meet Maynard's gaze, and he didn't dare to respond to Maynard's questions about this at the dinner table... and it was right.

"Did you take a shower?" Looking at Forty-two with wet hair, Maynard roughly knew where he had gone, and couldn't help showing a cheerful smile: "Yes, it seems that you have let go of your worries. After all, you are in the servant before people's eyes.

To keep a low profile, Maynard didn't use too many honorifics for Forty-Two.

Forty-two also smiled slightly, and jumped on the chair: "Yeah... went to soak in a hot spring.

"If you like it, why don't you stay a little longer. You can come whenever you have time in the future. I will give you the highest level of authority, and tell the people in my shop that seeing you is like seeing me.

Maynard nodded gently, and said softly: "Enjoy life more... If you think too much about yourself, you will lose the joy of being a human being. On the big clock of time, there are only two words.

"This is what Shakespeare said. The corners of Forty-two's mouth rose, seeing through Maynard's intention to pretend to be aggressive in front of Forty-two: "You can be regarded as a bit educated.

"In front of you, even if you are not educated, you have to pretend to be educated.

Maynard shrugged and told a joke that only forty-two could understand: "It's better than me bringing out King Solomon's proverbs. At least the atmosphere won't be too embarrassing."

Hearing this, Forty-two couldn't help laughing: "Ah, that's what you said.

Seeing his master having a happy conversation with a handsome black-haired child, the servants around him were suddenly very surprised.

At first, they speculated that maybe Forty-two would be his illegitimate son. But seeing that there was an atmosphere of equal status between them, even Forty-Two had the upper hand.

Compared with forty-two's immature appearance...his speech is more like an educated middle-aged man.

Who is he?

Could it be that he is some great big man? Or is this a big man who has been reincarnated into a new body?

After finishing what could be called a luxurious dinner, Forty Two patted his stomach in satisfaction: "Thank you for the hospitality, Maynard.

"It won't cost much," Maynard just waved his hand indifferently. I heard from the adult that you didn't stay in Nawei for a long time this time. Who to use and where to go, just tell me directly. I also have a data space access device here, if you want to enter the other shore, you can log in directly at my home.

After all, the law and order outside is not very good during this period of time.

"Security?

Having captured a key word, Forty-two immediately asked:

"It's the same thing. Those anomalous quasi-simulations that have escaped the shackles of the program... and some humans who sympathize with them."

Maynard sneered: "Humans will never have a long memory. Obviously, the era of Lord Leonardo has just passed.

...druids? impossible? "Forty-two questioned: "Do they even manage the iron shell? "

"No, it's just some organizations that sympathize with bionic people." Maynard sighed: "Fortunately, Master Leonardo severely cleaned up a wave of these thoughts... Now we can effectively control these foolish people, so as not to make it spread out.

"In the past, the people of the Tang Dynasty had a good saying: You can know the past by using history as a mirror; you can know gains and losses by using people as a mirror. It is precisely because these harmful trends of thought have been eliminated in the past that the world today will not be separated from the past.

I see.

It turned out that the real purpose of the last main mission in the last life was actually for this. He only regarded these things as harmful thoughts in human society. The proponent got rid of these ignorant, vicious, and harmful things until now, and he felt a little lucky: fortunately, he didn't use the speedrunning method of "creating enemies and then destroying them" at that time.

In this way, in today's society where ordinary people, bionics, synthetics, and psykers are mixed together, a tacit balance can be maintained. Because they have already realized the possible harm of these things from Leonardo's actions, and learned the correct way to deal with them. Therefore, these trends of thought revived in various parts of the world cannot even spread out, and can only cause chaos in a certain place. But Forty-Two suddenly had another thought.

Could his main line... have anything to do with these people?

...I still plan to reach out to them. Don't judge today with the thoughts of the past.

After thinking for a moment, Forty-Two slowly said: "This will ensure that I am always objective and fair.

"Alright.

Maynard pondered for a while, and agreed: 1 Then start the investigation from here... It's getting late, you should go to bed first.

"Okay." Forty-two put down the tableware, looked up and asked, "Are you free tomorrow?" Well, I'll go with you.

Maynard nodded slowly.

Thinking of the past, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, feeling a little nostalgic in his heart. In the past, the teacher always protected me and guided me... Now it is finally my turn to take care of the teacher.

"Mr Maltz, you have a meeting tomorrow afternoon.

Hearing this, his accompanying maid leaned close to his ear and whispered. Didn't finish listening. Maynard just waved his hand: "Push it. Don't arrange other itineraries for me tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, distinguished guest?
