Chapter 776: The Last Child
Translator: LonelytreeEditor: Millman97
After touring most of the cultivation process, Deqing finally brought them to meet a batch of kids. This batch was the newly selected, the best seeds. However, there were only five of them and they were all boys.
”There are no girls?” He Bin enquired with curiosity.
Deqing shook his head. ”No, girls that pass the selection are few and in between. Most of them are boys. Young Master, do not underestimate them because of their age, they are all little geniuses.”
”Is that so? How about a little show and tell then?” He Bin mimicked He Lan Qi and suggested with a polite smile. Deqing immediately had a few boys show off their talents. To Xinghe and He Bin's surprise, all of them were computer experts!
Not only that, they were familiar with many other different fields as well. Some of them were good with engineering, others chemistry, mathematics, and physics…
However, they were expressionless when they rattled off their knowledge. These boys were like old learners or emotionless computers. Even though the knowledge they showcased were not extremely esoteric, it did give a glimpse into their unnatural learning capability and potential.
Looking at these little, cute faces devoid of their innocence and forced into becoming learning machines did not impress He Bin and Xinghe in any way. There was only a heaviness in their heart.
This was especially so when they saw the last child who was swaying from left to right when he showed them his knowledge in chemistry. Initially, he gritted his teeth and tried his best to hide his discomfort. However, his sickness was too serious that he was barely hanging on near the end.
He almost fainted and collapsed when Deqing launched himself forward to grab at the boy and demanded angrily, ”Are you sick‽”
