The living room.
"Dad, why don't you just give up?"
Once the door opened, Lü Yongchang's voice immediately became clear. "Let's just accept it. You might really not be cut out for this..."
Hearing that, Su Yutong, who had just stepped out of the room, felt the corner of her mouth twitch. A helpless smile crept onto her face.
Thanks to the latest genetic modification technology, Lü Yongchang's parents remained reasonably healthy despite having undergone cryosleep several times.
After unraveling the mysteries of his own quantum transformation with the Technology Tree's guidance, Lü Yongchang could even turn his parents into "quantum humans" like himself.
But...
Both Lü Guotao and Zhou Qingru had rejected his offer.
Never mind his parents-even within the Academy of Sciences, very few people chose to turn themselves into "higher-dimensional quantum humans."
The reason was simple.
For one thing, higher-dimensional quantum transformation was irreversible.
In other words, choosing it meant giving up one's carbon-based body for good.
For another, the transformation consumed an enormous amount of resources.
Even Human Civilization as it stood now could offer only a handful of slots.
Besides, genetic modification technology had already made human lifespans long enough.
Immortality was often far from a blessing.
It could even be a curse-especially when so few slots were available.
And so.
To this day, Su Yutong was the only person in all of Human Civilization who had willingly accepted that "curse."
"Accept it?" Lü Guotao's booming voice rang through the living room, interrupting Su Yutong's thoughts. "Is that something a chief scientist should be saying?"
"Let me tell you, your dad-Lü Guotao-is not a man who just accepts his fate!"
"They're just a few lousy fish! I refuse to believe I can't keep them alive!"
Su Yutong's smile grew wider.
What a fuss this had
