This Lord is Very Scientific

Lin Ke and Rica discussed the matter while taking a walk.

Their final conclusion was to invite the Moon Goddess to the Abyss Wedding since she is one of Rica's elders, after all.

However, in Great Wilderness City, Lin Ke would not even allow the Moon Goddess to step into the door!

This was his principled stance against the Azanen People, as he had no respect for those who disregarded the lives of others.

After returning home with Rica, Lin Ke found Ove waiting for him.

Upon entering, John took his coat for cleaning, while Rica sensibly went to the garden to tend to the magical plants in the nursery.

Lin Ke and Ove chatted in the living room while drinking fruit milk.

"Little Lin Ke, I received news from the Materialist School; they might come for an inspection before the Noble Council," Ove said, looking a bit displeased. "They seem to want to make this one of their bases."

Materialist School!

The Materialist School and the Idealist School here are much like early classical materialism and idealism.

These people gathered because of the research institute and then found themselves opposing each other, leading to heated arguments. If it weren't for a suppressive force, they might have fought already.

In the previous life, all technological products and things people loved in real life, such as mobile phones, computers, cars, high-speed trains, nuclear bombs, aircraft carriers, etc., were creations of materialism.

In that life, only those with low knowledge levels or those trapped in misconceptions believed in the Idealist School; anyone with logic knew idealism was merely the imagination of early scholars.

However, in Naseng, the Idealist School had mighty power.

Some of their powerful members could weave one fantastical and magnificent dream after another, creating strange and mysterious planes.

As long as a legendary path has been born, it must contain some truth!

The Idealist School has more than one legend!

And the Materialist School, too.

But as of now, both schools only have one legend present in Naseng, with the Materialist School's being Ove.

The crucial point is that ten years ago, Ove told Lin Ke that there would be a duel between the Materialist and Idealist Schools.

However, after Ove became a legend, the Idealist School seemed to lay low since they weren't confident in dealing with Ove.

After all, Ove's rapid advancement from level nineteen to a star streak and then to a legend in just one year was beyond mere talent; surely, there was some fortuitous encounter.

Nevertheless, no matter how much they delay, they must proceed with the duel.

The Idealist School's legend, after barely breaking through back then, has made no progress since, staying at level twenty-one.

Meanwhile, Ove, with his precious prodigy, directly advanced and stabilized at level twenty-two, with hopes of even reaching level twenty-three.

If they delayed further, what would be left to fight?

Thus, both schools decided to restart the duel.

"I'm very delighted about the Materialist School coming over!" Lin Ke was pleased to hear the news.

The Materialist School's research direction is akin to narrow physics and astronomy, but it also includes planar studies.

The Plane Teleportation Array was developed by the Materialist School following Andrew during ancient times!

"You're celebrating too early," Ove shook his head and said. "I've dealt with them; my teacher used to be one of them, but I later chose to independently study in planar research... because they are a bunch of arrogant egotists who won't listen to others!"

Saying this, Ove took a sip of fruit milk to calm himself, the white beard stained with a little milk, and continued, "They are also the reason I developed that social phobia..."

Oh dear!

Ove developed his social phobia because of those people?

Lin Ke heard this for the first time and his expression became serious.

"As a research apprentice back then, I was wantonly ordered around by them, and they researched how to deal with the Idealist School, experimenting with the effects of electroshock on my mind..."

Ove's eyes rarely showed a trace of fear: "After the electroshock, they locked me in a pitch-dark room to experiment on the effects of darkness..."

"Luckily, my teacher protected me with his life back then; in the end, he did die, secretly killed by the Idealist School's dream weaving... Insomnia Emperor wasn't in Naseng during that dark period."

Ove's hand unconsciously clenched.

Electroshock, darkness, the demise of a close kin.

Lin Ke fell silent.

In that environment, without Ove's teacher, Ove might have developed an extremely aggressive personality.

But due to the warmth brought by Teacher Ove, he only developed social phobia.

Perhaps compared to electroshock, the silence and loneliness in a small dark room offered Ove more security.

"Maybe because I was too familiar with electroshock, after my teacher sent me to his private plane, I began to inherit his legacy, and only after reaching level ten did I dare to leave the plane."

"By then, Insomnia Emperor had already returned, but he didn't deal with those people, saying it was left for me."

"Those people had completely gone insane! Apart from me, they tortured many others and colluded with the institute's administrators, buying and selling many civilian children for experimental research, all to deal with the Idealist School!"

"They explored how to enhance resistance to idealist forces using electroshock, fire, freezing, and other methods!"

"Insomnia Emperor didn't kill them, intending to leave them for us survivors."

"Eventually, I reached level fifteen first, electrocuted all those rotten apples to death one by one, then retreated into my private plane to embark on prolonged research."

"In an accident, I met your father..."

Ove narrates his past slowly, letting Lin Ke understand the reason behind Ove's social phobia.

Lin Ke, at this point, remembered something and cautiously asked, "Teacher, just in case, I mean if, what if members of your Materialist and Idealist Schools get headshot because of me?"

After reaching level fifteen, the Soul Space solidifies, allowing professionals to use spiritual power.

However, the solidification of the Soul Space also poses a drawback for scholar-type professionals.

After solidification, if their original cognition changes, it could shatter their soul world, appearing externally as their heads exploding like watermelons.

In the past, Ove treated this as a joke, for example, the materialist vs. idealist debate initially evolved from arguments and headshots.

Some had their heads burst from listening to idealist arguments, others from materialist arguments.

Of course, this has become rare now, as no one's research would be too far ahead of its time.

Moreover, the materialists and idealists know each other well by now and wouldn't easily have their heads exploded.

"Get their heads exploded because of you? How could..." Ove was about to laugh but then thought of Lin Ke's various actions, and a sudden realization struck him.

It seemed...

It seemed not impossible?

A flash of brilliance erupted in Ove's eyes.

He got excited.
