System: Master Your Life

Chapter 994 - 259: Return to North America, Reunion with Tilin (Part 3)

"Boss Xu, rest assured, in the past six months, I’ve been meticulously overseeing the construction of your island. There’s absolutely no possibility of cutting corners or slacking off!"

"I trust you."

Xu Lin still believed in Li Yongsheng’s business abilities; the previous underground base was done quite well.

Later, Xu Lin still boarded the helicopter to have a look.

It wasn’t really about the inspection; he simply wanted to see the construction status of the two islands from above.

Since he was older, the first phase of construction wasn’t very extensive.

Xu Lin focused on his private area on Moon Island.

The private area took up half of Moon Island.

Here, there were estates, farms, and everything one could possibly need.

Xu Lin looked at it and was quite satisfied.

As the time approached afternoon.

Li Yongsheng also left.

As for the final payment, Xu Lin asked the Moon God to transfer it directly to him.

Thus, the entire Moon Island was left with only Xu Lin and Tilin.

Now Moon Island had a stronger network, and the Moon God could monitor the entire island.

So Xu Lin knew that currently, there were only two humans on the island.

Xu Lin and Tilin came to the wooden house here.

The estate couldn’t be lived in yet, considering it was just recently completed.

And the wooden house was convenient.

"Scientist, you’re leaving tomorrow?"

"Yes, nothing to do, so I’m heading back home, right?"

Xu Lin lay on the rocking chair outside the small wooden house, resting his hands behind his head, leisurely rocking.

"It’s really hard to get to see you!"

"My wives don’t get to see me every day either, let alone you and I being from two different countries."

"Wives?"

"I have quite a few women too."

"Of course, a man of your level, how could there be only one woman around you?"

"Exactly."

Xu Lin didn’t deny it.

"So, can I be a part of this?"

Tilin sat sideways on Xu Lin’s lap, lying down sideways, her left elbow resting on Xu Lin’s chest, her palm supporting her cheek, looking at Xu Lin.

"It’s not impossible." Xu Lin smiled slightly.

Tilin also smiled, "Does that mean there’s something on for tonight?"

"There could be this possibility."

"Scientist, let me ask you a question, do you like me?"

"Like, and don’t like, it’s worth separating out. Emotionally, I don’t feel much for you, so I don’t like you. Physically, you hold a certain attraction for me, so I like you."

"I thought you liked me emotionally?"

"That depends on the future. For now, I basically don’t like any particular woman."

Xu Lin continued with his eyes closed, "Before I succeeded, the girl I liked also liked me. Later on, when I succeeded, people like you may not truly like me from the heart. Haven’t you heard, the more successful a person is, the colder they become?"

Tilin admitted, "I like you, but thinking deeper, this kind of liking comes from a powerful admiration for you, which is a psychology of admiration for strength. So the pure kind of liking between man and woman, maybe I don’t have it."

"Next year and onwards, we will be deeply bound, so having a physical relationship, even if you give birth to one or two children for me, it wouldn’t matter."

Xu Lin: "I believe in bloodlines."

"Bloodlines?"

Tilin was puzzled.

Xu Lin opened his eyes, "In North America, aren’t there many political families?"

"Yes."

Tilin nodded.

The public intellectuals say, in the West, there’s no human sentiment, the West promotes talent regardless of background.

It’s a joke, the Westerners are all playing the game of the four generations producing three dukes, a large number of political families exist. How is there no human sentiment, how is it promoting talent regardless of background?

Isn’t this ridiculous?

Xu Lin continued, "From my observations, the essence of how the world operates is bloodlines and religion. Leaving religion aside, the formation of family powers based on bloodline relations hasn’t stopped since ancient times. Would you agree? Like those political families of yours."

Tilin nodded.

Xu Lin: "Next year, I will start a company that will grow larger and become a global giant. My career may continue for decades or even more than a hundred years. So, what do you think is more important, friends or blood relations?"

"How should this be put?" Tilin asked him.

Xu Lin: "Human nature tends to seek benefits and avoid harm, so a family business established by bloodlines can maintain a united front externally in general directions. However, friends or collaborators might pursue personal gain, which means they have the potential to become turncoats. There’s an ancient saying in my country: ’Those not of my tribe their heart must be different,’ that’s the principle."

Xu Lin stated, "Therefore, I believe in bloodlines. For instance, if you have given birth to a son for me, I might not trust you entirely and suspect you could betray me one day. But I would trust our son because he is my son. He will protect my achievements because one day he will inherit them, making my achievements effectively his own, driven by his personal interest and the inevitability of human nature. Similarly, if you have a son, as a mother, you’ll protect your son everywhere, this is also the inevitability of human nature."

"Suddenly I feel you are a bit cold-blooded, Scientist."

"This is called rationality, how can it be called cold-blooded?"
