Shen Wei spent 5000 points in the mall to purchase the identity of a game pod designer.
The system was incredibly reliable in handling this matter.
It fabricated an entire life history from childhood to adulthood.
Moreover, this identity was set up as that of an eccentric recluse.
The character had always maintained a low profile. Only when someone inquired about them did people vaguely recall that such a person existed.
Influenced by movies and other artistic works,
It was considered normal for this scientific genius to be somewhat unconventional.
No one doubted this.
However, the small town where this game designer lived had undergone a significant transformation.
The previously unremarkable town suddenly gained attention from higher authorities.
They never expected such a technologically barren place to produce this kind of technical genius.
Suddenly, it seemed that this soil might be somewhat extraordinary.
As a result, a scientific organization launched a public welfare project, establishing a national-level science and technology museum right in the town.
With an investment of several hundred million, it aimed to cultivate the locals' initial imagination for science and technology, free of charge.
Such a high-caliber science museum was rare even in big cities.
The public welfare organization could only build one museum per year.
The site selection required careful consideration, and this construction truly commemorated the emergence of a genius.
The local government officials were overjoyed.
Such a large investment could boost local tourism and economic projects.
After all, science museums of this caliber were rare even in big cities. Nearby cities would certainly make this once unremarkable small town their top choice for bringing children during summer and winter vacations.
This meant stimulating the local economy, including hotels, food, and accommodation.
There was another point.
Initially, this scientific genius had retreated to a secluded corner.
As many of the surveillance cameras in the area were old and in disrepair, the authorities specifically allocated funds for new cameras.
They wanted one every ten steps.
All the police officers began working overtime, cracking down on security issues and various problems.
The city was small, and many people still retained the habit of using cash.
So pickpocketing and petty theft hadn't been eradicated.
For instance, right now, a thief who had just succeeded in a theft
Was apprehended by two plainclothes officers and taken to the police station.
The thief was dumbfounded.
He hadn't failed in years.
This time, he had smoothly taken money and a phone from someone's pocket.
The victim hadn't even noticed yet.
He was thinking about how he'd scored a big catch and could live it up for a few days.
He never expected to be caught the next second.
Sitting in the police car, the thief trembled.
The two officers beside him were chatting casually, "How many cases today?"
"Fifteen, all apprehended."
The thief was completely stunned.
All the petty thieves in the area knew each other.
There were only about 20 in total, and 15 had been caught. Since when did they need to arrest thieves to boost performance?
The thief wasn't highly educated. Now that he'd been caught, he relaxed a bit.
So he couldn't help voicing his thoughts.
The officer said, "Didn't you notice the new cameras installed recently?"
The thief was speechless. Of course he knew, but he hadn't taken it seriously.
The other officer couldn't help but sigh, "We're in the age of technology now. Any petty theft is exposed before the cameras."
"Even if you ran to the ends of the earth, we could still catch you."
"After this rehabilitation, come back and be a good person. Don't do this kind of thing again."
The thief remained silent. When they arrived, he was shocked. The police station wasn't big, but the interrogation area was packed with people.
Many people looked at him with a kind of numb rigidity.
Especially the first person to come in, he was even more shocked.
He had thought he was just unlucky to get caught.
As soon as he arrived, he came face to face with several familiar faces.
After a while, more and more thieves were brought in, and he was bewildered.
Later, when they pieced it together, they thought someone must have ratted them out. How else could they all be caught at once?
It wasn't until everyone mentioned the cameras that they quieted down.
The town had always had cameras, but they were just for show.
No one had taken them seriously, committing crimes right under them. Now they were in trouble, no one could escape.
"Why? Even one camera isn't cheap, now there's one every ten steps, it's like a prison."
Seeing them looking at each other in confusion, their heads about to explode trying to figure it out, the police couldn't help but say, "Don't you know about the scientific genius who appeared in town recently?"
His final disappearance had caused a huge shock in the scientific community.
Netizens repeatedly demanded that the person be found.
Although there was a lake in front of where he was last seen, and many people guessed his life had ended there,
They needed to see the person if alive, or the body if dead. So from top to bottom, everyone was extremely tense.
Even their superiors were under great pressure, with dedicated personnel monitoring various cameras every day.
As a result, they discovered these people brazenly stealing and robbing right under the cameras.
It was practically an open challenge. The higher-ups immediately issued a stern order to arrest everyone, which led to the current situation.
Because of this scientific genius, the crime rate in the entire town had dropped significantly.
This news came as an unexpected joy for Shen Wei.
The incident had attracted an extraordinary amount of attention.
Many reporters and self-media personnel were stationed near Starry Sky Kindergarten.
Scientists suddenly became addicted to the internet, experiencing the joy of gaming every day.
Although these old scientists were advanced in years,
And were considered old-fashioned fossils in many people's minds,
They were indeed the first generation of intellectuals, quick to learn anything.
In gaming, they even outperformed the national team.
Because the national team had never played such a highly immersive game before.
Young people only had the advantage in reaction speed.
But in terms of various practical life experiences, the older generation of scientists was still superior.
They were actually evenly matched.
But since the national e-sports team was professional, they were considered to have lost in the eyes of netizens.
The live streaming room was on fire every day.
Everyone wanted to watch these two unlikely groups playing games frantically. It was stress-relieving just to watch. Even the game company took notice and specially launched several similar mini-games. But people still preferred to watch the live stream.
These games were only interesting with the addition of physical sensations.
The expressions of bewilderment on everyone's faces as they emerged from the gaming pods were priceless—meme-worthy, even. It was truly amusing.
But when the scientists came out, they all rushed to grasp Shen Wei's hands tightly, declaring, "You are a true patriot."
This wasn't just because she had helped an eccentric scientist. It was also because the kindergarten was so excellently run.
From the quality of meals to the content of the lessons, with classes divided by pace and progress, there were multiple dimensions supporting the children's learning.
Undoubtedly, this planted a small seed in the hearts of these young treasures.
Children are the future, after all.
These older generation intellectuals weren't just capable in their scientific research; they also had a profound love for the next generation.
As these words were spoken, many viewers in the livestream were moved to tears.
"I'm sobbing, truly. Kindergarten may be the smallest unit of education, but it's incredibly important."
"You must keep up the great work with the kindergarten. I'm still single, but I hope that in the future, my child will have the chance to attend Starry Sky Kindergarten."
"Sisters, is it too dramatic to change cities just for a kindergarten?"
"I was thinking the same thing!"
"Doesn't anyone think they're getting a bit off track? A respectable kindergarten suddenly opening pop-up shops and vegetable gardens? And now they're trending because of gaming pods?"
"How can these things possibly be related to a kindergarten? It's too much of a stretch."
"Have you considered the possibility that their side businesses might be doing even better than their main one?"
The critics were left speechless. This was unprecedented—a first of its kind.
