Chapter 167 - A Skill That Arrived in the Middle of the Night!

"Xiaoxi, Daddy knows lots of stories. Go ask Daddy to tell you one while Mommy takes a shower," Xu Mengyao said, then quickly slipped away.

Lin Xiaoxi acted spoiled, saying, "Daddy, tell me a new story, you're the best!"

"Alright, Daddy will tell you one." Lin Chen said affectionately.

Since his daughter asked, he had to comply.

As he was telling the story, Xu Mengyao finished her shower and came out. Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao, his eyes filled with warmth.

Xu Mengyao's heart fluttered.

Her face also turned red.

Lin Chen's gaze seemed to want to "devour" her.

"Xiaoxi, let Mom tell you a story. Honey, you haven't showered yet, go take a shower," Xu Mengyao said.

Lin Xiaoxi: "No way... Mom, you come up here too, I'll sit in the middle, how about you both tell me a story together?"

Xu Mengyao hesitated slightly and got onto the bed.

The three of them sat at the head of the bed.

It's just that Lin Chen and Xu Mengyao were separated by Lin Xiaoxi.

Lin Chen continued telling the story.

Gradually, Lin Xiaoxi sweetly fell asleep.

"Honey, go take a shower first."

"Then will you watch TV with me?"

Xu Mengyao gazed at Lin Chen with affection.

"Alright."

Lin Chen finished his shower in less than ten minutes.

Xu Mengyao had already turned on the TV. Lin Chen sat down beside her, and Xu Mengyao rested her head on Lin Chen's shoulder.

Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Xu Mengyao, Lin Chen's restless heart gradually calmed down.

"Honey, Xiaoxi has a good talent for painting, and her math talent seems pretty good too. She's actually a little surprising. She can quickly calculate addition and subtraction within ten."

Xu Mengyao said with some amazement.

Lin Chen smiled, "You're already surprised? Her math is just beginning; her talent hasn't been fully tapped yet. Her math talent should be no lower than her painting."

Lin Xiaoxi's basic talents were strongest in painting and math, with math being even stronger than painting.

"Really?"

"Xiaoxi is probably better at painting, right?" Xu Mengyao said in surprise.

Lin Chen watched TV and said, "Her painting talent is stronger now, but that's because her math talent hasn't been fully tapped yet."

His math skill wasn't even at Grandmaster Level, but Lin Xiaoxi's math talent was already pretty good.

Lin Chen estimated her raw talent was definitely over forty points.

Lin Xiaoxi's raw painting talent was just over thirty. Her talent doubled to reach over ninety.

When his math skill reached Great Grandmaster Level, Lin Xiaoxi's math talent would jump to eighty or ninety points.

When his math skill reached Legendary Level, Lin Xiaoxi's math talent would exceed the normal human limit of one hundred points.

"System, what happens if Xixi's certain talent exceeds one hundred points?"

Lin Chen asked in his mind.

System: "Talent is off the charts, making things twice as effective. How it manifests depends on your own efforts."

Xu Mengyao: "Honey, how's your math?"

"I know a little."

Lin Chen said with a smile.

Xu Mengyao said coquettishly, "Honey, you're boasting. Your 'know a little' definitely isn't just a little."

"Really, I just know a little."

"I haven't researched this area deeply. I'd guess I'm only at the level of an ordinary math professor." Lin Chen said.

Xu Mengyao: "..."

"Just be a show-off, then."

Lin Chen: "No, really. There are many ordinary mathematics professors in the country, and this level is just so-so. Xiaoxi has a talent for math, and I will strengthen it in the future."

As long as he taught Lin Xiaoxi, she would definitely soar.

He needed to give Xu Mengyao a heads-up.

"Honey, I really don't know how your brain works."

Xu Mengyao said in disbelief.

Lin Chen sighed, "That's what I'm worried about. If some things get out, I estimate that there will be many forces around the world wanting to capture me alive for research."

"Never overestimate the moral standards of some people."

Xu Mengyao's heart clenched.

"Honey, don't expose things anymore, okay?"

Lin Chen shook his head, "Wouldn't that be a waste of my talent? Don't worry, I already have some means of self-protection, and our country isn't what it used to be either."

"I'll be careful."

Xu Mengyao whispered, "You absolutely cannot have an accident, honey. Otherwise, what will Xiaoxi and I do?"

"Honey, you… you hold me."

Lin Chen reached out and embraced Xu Mengyao's slender waist.

Xu Mengyao's body trembled slightly.

Time passed slowly. After ten minutes, Xu Mengyao felt uncomfortable, but she endured it without saying anything.

Lin Chen noticed the change in Xu Mengyao's body. He used his mental energy to direct his internal force to flow into his ears.

Soon, Lin Chen's hearing was greatly enhanced.

He heard Xu Mengyao's heartbeat. The speed of her heartbeats had already exceeded a hundred beats per minute.

"Mengyao, I can't watch TV with you anymore."

"There's no new episode today."

Lin Chen withdrew his hand and said.

"Honey, you go do your thing. I'm going to sleep," Xu Mengyao said, her face flushed.

"Okay."

Lin Chen soon went to the study.

"Phew!"

Xu Mengyao took several deep breaths.

Xu Mengyao, you're so useless. It's not like he's a stranger. He's your husband. What's wrong with letting him hug you? Xu Mengyao muttered to herself.

Lin Chen could accept her being held like this, but if the time was extended, her mental resistance would accumulate.

She couldn't control this herself.

But compared to before, the situation was already much better.

Crack, crack!

Lin Chen quickly wrote a fairy tale update.

"Lin, I have a few more academic questions I'd like to ask you—"

Lin Chen opened his email and saw Professor Lu's email.

Lin Chen opened the attachment.

There were quite a few problems.

He looked through them all, and he could answer them.

Lin Chen worked until late at night, answering all of Professor Lu's questions.

"Sent."

He sent the email.

Inside the research institute, Professor Lu was preparing to go to bed after finishing his work.

"Ding—"

Just as he was about to shut down, Lin Chen's email arrived.

Professor Lu's eyes lit up.

He immediately opened the email attachment.

Seeing the dense content within the attachment, Professor Lu was shocked. Had the other party really answered his questions?

He scrolled down.

Lin Chen had provided answers to each of his questions. However, he didn't know if they were correct yet.

"Looks like I won't be sleeping tonight."

Professor Lu murmured.

He began to examine Lin Chen's answers one by one.

It was already four or five in the morning.

"They're all correct."

"Lin's abilities are far superior to mine. Just who is he?"

Professor Lu was somewhat puzzled by Lin Chen's identity, but he believed one thing: Lin Chen was definitely Chinese.

The questions he asked were beneficial to the country's development.

People from other countries wouldn't be so kind as to help him with his questions.

—Professor Lu's questions were still academic, not involving specific scientific research projects, and were not confidential.

He was very clear about the confidentiality regulations.

"Knock, knock."

Xu Mengyao tapped lightly on the door.

Then, she pushed open the study door, holding Lin Xiaoxi in her arms.

"Honey, can you hold Xiaoxi for a bit?"

"The bed's flooded, I need to change the sheets," Xu Mengyao said, a little helplessly.

"Okay."

Lin Chen took Lin Xiaoxi from Xu Mengyao's arms.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Lin Xiaoxi asked, a little confused.

Lin Chen said, "Dad is working on the computer."

"Dad, how do you use this?"

"Teach me."

Lin Xiaoxi blinked and said.

"Okay, Dad will teach you."

Lin Chen said, and he taught Lin Xiaoxi how to use the keyboard.

Five minutes passed.

"Host, you taught Lin Xiaoxi how to use a computer, gaining the Hacker Skill. Ten hours to Grandmaster Level, twenty hours to Great Grandmaster Level."

The system's voice echoed in Lin Chen's mind.

Lin Chen's eyes lit up.

Lin Xiaoxi's pee was a stroke of genius.
