Chapter 1325: Chapter 20: Your Na (Thanks to the Grandmaster Su Jiu Ran for the reward!)_2
MacArthur himself could never have imagined that, decades after his death, he would beco an internet sensation in China.
“To be honest, it’s the first ti I’ve learned the full na of the famous comntator MacArthur.”
Lin Xian had always thought that Mack was the given na and Arthur was the surna, thus Mack Arthur.
But now, looking at the English version.
He understood.
MacArthur is entirely a surna, and the given na is Douglas.
So, the full na is Douglas MacArthur.
“Why are there so many [Douglas]? Is this na very popular in Mi Country?”
Lin Xian adjusted the King Kong mask.
Right across from this clubhouse, on the cinema’s advertisent board, the star of “The Feud of the Big Tree Ridge” is nad [Kirk Douglas].
The forr army five-star general who failed the primary election for President, is called [Douglas MacArthur].
Straightened up, turned around.
Lin Xian noticed that the colorful cyberpunk, Einstein’s good friend, had already started jumping around the dance floor, shouting in celebration of MacArthur’s defeat, and crying out for love and peace.
“Well, this way I can talk to Einstein alone.”
Lin Xian adjusted the King Kong mask on his head.
Now.
It was the perfect opportunity!
The voice was hoarse, and the King Kong mask concealed his appearance, leaving Einstein no way to know his true identity.
Even if he were indeed the President of the Future Genius Club, he would absolutely not guess that the King Kong right now is genius number 9, Rhein, because—
[The King Kong of 1952 and Rhein of 2024 have nothing in common.]
Tap.
Tap.
Tap.
In the increasingly lively venue, Lin Xian walked with high-end leather shoes, step by step, towards the corner dining table.
At this mont.
He was just one ter away from this most brilliant gem in human physics history.
“Dear Mr. Einstein, hello.”
Lin Xian, wearing the comical and terrifying King Kong mask, bent down to greet:
“I am a university student and also your admirer, may I… sit down and talk with you?”
A lancholy and depressed Einstein slowly raised his head, seeing the wide-open mouth of the King Kong right in front of him.
He leaned back, clearly startled.
But then sighed, shaking his head:
“Young man, you admire the wrong person… you should be admiring those great heroes who truly contribute to human peace, not soone like who hides behind the scenes doing research, and even ends up doing harm.”
“However, today is Halloween, not a laboratory or conference hall, all guests are the owners of this clubhouse; if you want to chat with , of course, feel free to sit at any seat.”
“Thank you, Mr. Einstein.”
After thanking, Lin Xian sat opposite Einstein, readjusting the large and heavy King Kong mask.
Actually, his first choice at the beginning was that funny Bugs Bunny mask.
But then he thought.
If he’s going to hide his identity, he might as well conceal so aspects, and in this regard, the King Kong mask is unbeatable.
“It’s truly amazing, young man.”
Einstein spread his hands:
“You are the only one at this costu party who genuinely treats as the real Einstein; everyone else thinks my hair, beard, even the wrinkles and features are all costu modifications.”
He pointed at the lipstick print on his right cheek:
“Earlier, a little witch even ran over, kissed , and said I look just like the Einstein on TV.”
“Oh, cough cough.”
Lin Xian’s voice cracked a bit:
“That is truly enviable, I sowhat regret wearing this mask, surely no little witch would want to kiss a gorilla.”
“Are you catching a cold?”
Einstein looked at Lin Xian, at the fierce gorilla:
“Your voice sounds strange.”
“More or less.”
The gorilla nodded:
“The temperature dropped too quickly lately, caught so flu.”
Good.
Lin Xian placed his palms on his knees.
Very smoothly, he successfully connected with Einstein, who, surprisingly, didn’t have any airs, nor was self-righteous, seed very willing to talk to him.
Judging from that colorful punk earlier, Einstein’s tolerance was quite strong, knowledgeable, unperturbed by surprises.
This way…
He could begin the second main quest as promised, to investigate the secrets on Einstein, and whether he had anything to do with the Genius Club.
First of all, he needed to learn more about Einstein.
Lin Xian decided to use the question “Does humanity really have a future?” as the breakthrough point to understand Einstein’s views and ntal journey.
This was where the Genius Club President’s and the real Einstein had the highest overlap, perhaps, clues could be drawn from his attitude.
“Mr. Einstein.”
Lin Xian said with a hoarse voice:
“I truly admire you, have read many of your interviews and news articles, the Brooklyn Daily also published your views on the Cold War and nuclear war a few days ago… it’s clear you are very worried about humanity’s future.”
“Like many others, I am very concerned about your physical and ntal state. In your view, is the occurrence of a nuclear war on a global scale, the extinction of human civilization, really inevitable?”
Einstein sighed lightly.
Looking up at Lin Xian:
“Young man, since you are a university student, you should be very versed in world history. From ancient tis to now, human wars have never ceased.”
