Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

Chapter 125 Your Daughter Became President

In the 203rd year of the Crisis Era, there are 2 years remaining until the water droplet reaches Earth.

Luo Ji was awakened from hibernation.

"Brother, brother."

Luo Ji felt a pain in his face. He opened his eyes and found Shi Qiang standing by his bedside, poking him repeatedly with a chopstick.

Seeing that Luo Ji had woken up, Shi Qiang stopped.

"They said it would take another five or six hours for you to wake up, and I thought that would help you wake up faster. It seems that it really worked."

Luo Ji then realized that Shi Qiang and he were both wearing the same hospital gowns and lying in a room that resembled a hospital ward. The room had no windows, but the white light reflected from the walls made the whole room very bright.

"What time is it now?" Luo Ji asked.

Shi Qiang chuckled.

"203 years, which would be 2209 in our year, means we've been in hibernation for almost two hundred years."

"So much time has passed, then..."

"I know what you want to ask, brother. Unfortunately, the star you cursed is still running steadily," Shi Qiang said with some helplessness.

Luo Ji nodded slightly upon hearing this.

This outcome was actually within his expectations.

"It seems my plan has failed. In that case, the only two successful Wallfacers are Hines and Lin Xuan."

Shi Qiang shook his head.

"No, brother, they all failed. Hines failed a long time ago, and even PDC no longer exists."

"what?"

Although Luo Ji had considered that the future world might undergo some different changes, he never expected it to be like this.

"I was just as shocked as you when I first heard about this, but it's true, brother. However, the process is a bit complicated, so let me explain it to you slowly."

As Shi Qiang spoke, he subconsciously reached into his pocket for cigarettes, only to find nothing. He then remembered that he was still wearing a hospital gown.

Left with no other choice, Shi Qiang picked up a glass of water from the table, gulped down two mouthfuls, and then spoke.

"It's related to that kid Lin Xuan. He's caused a lot of trouble in the last two hundred years. ETO and PDC have been completely wiped out of this world by him."

Then, Shi Qiang recounted the news he had heard about Lin Xuan. These were things recorded in history textbooks, which may not be entirely accurate, but they could roughly explain what Lin Xuan had done over the years.

"What a madman!" Luo Ji commented.

“Yeah… he’s a madman!” Shi Qiang nodded in agreement.

"I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"Bad news, I don't think there's any worse news than my plan failing," Luo Ji said.

“No, there really is one,” Shi Qiang said.

“You’re a normal person now, bro.”

As Shi Qiang spoke, he tossed a napkin to Luo Ji.

"what is this?"

Luo Ji took the napkin, unfolded it, and folded it again, but no matter how you looked at it, it was just an ordinary napkin.

“Look, brother, you only woke up 13 hours later than me, but you’ve already become a country bumpkin.”

As Shi Qiang spoke, he reached out and touched the napkin. Instantly, an interactive interface appeared on the napkin, scrolling through news articles one after another.

"Isn't it amazing? Anything here can be used to access the internet. To be honest, when I first saw this thing, my expression was just as shocked as yours," Shi Qiang said with a smile.

But Luo Ji didn't have time to pay attention to him right now. At this moment, the big data had already pushed a news item related to him to Luo Ji.

"The Wallfacer Project was terminated yesterday, and Earth International will reclaim all rights granted to Wallfacers."

"The Wallfacer Project... is over?"

Luo Ji found it hard to believe.

"Yes."

"why?"

"Don't ask me, brother. I only woke up 13 hours earlier than you, not 13 years earlier," Shi Qiang said helplessly.

"That's bad news. You can't ask me to find you villas like Eden anymore."

However, Luo Ji shook his head.

"No, Da Shi, this is good news for me. The Wallfacer Project has been canceled. Do you know what that means?"

"This means that humanity will no longer need the Wallfacers to defeat the Trisolaran fleet."

Shi Qiang nodded.

"If that's the case, then I have another piece of good news for you, which might be even better than that."

"Your daughter became president."

As Shi Qiang spoke, he took out a banknote from his pocket.

Today, digital currency transactions are widespread, and paper money serves more of a commemorative purpose.

"This is a new commemorative coin issued by Earth International. There are five types in total, and this is one of them."

As Shi Qiang spoke, he waved the banknote in front of Luo Ji. The banknote had a picture of a woman on it, who looked very young, only in her early twenties.

"This is... Xiaomin?"

Luo Ji was somewhat incredulous. He took the banknote from Shi Qiang and carefully examined the person printed on it.

Although he had only seen Luo Congmin as a child, he recognized her immediately when he saw the banknote; it was his daughter.

"Yes, she's much more capable now than you were back then. She has a PhD in sociology from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is one of the five ministers of the Earth International Department. In our time, that would be roughly equivalent to the president of the United States."

"This……"

Luo Ji was at a loss for words.

He didn't know what Luo Congmin had gone through during his two hundred years of hibernation, which forced his daughter to reach this position step by step.

More importantly, Luo Congmin had not seen herself and Zhuang Yan for nearly two hundred years, which meant that the child had been deprived of the love of her parents for nearly two hundred years.

For a moment, Luo Ji was at a loss as to how to face his outstanding daughter.

"This is bad news for me," Luo Ji murmured.

"Be content, brother. I don't even know where my son is right now," Shi Qiang said with a laugh.

"He's probably already dead. I personally sent him to prison before I left. He probably doesn't have the ability to come back to the future." Although Shi Qiang said this in a joking tone, Luo Ji could clearly sense that Shi Qiang was somewhat unwilling.

Luo Ji knew this idea; it was the same as hoping one's son would become a dragon.

Both are his own children, yet Luo Ji's daughter became a powerful figure in a country, while the other disappeared after committing fraud. The difference is indeed quite significant.

In Shi Qiang's eyes, Luo Congmin was already considered the kind of "other people's child".
