I Can Upgrade My Talent In Everything

393 As all things should be...

"Is that so? Hmmm... Voli was the same. He became sleepy and lazy in the past few weeks. I didn't suspect anything early because he was already lazy in the first place." Fein sat beside and he began to pat his head. Then the soft sensation of Voli's fur.

"Aren't you a scientist? Why do you think this happens?" Sofia also sat beside Fein and leaned her head to his shoulders and closed her eyes.

"Girl, you seem to have misunderstood. Scientists aren't all-knowing and we have a lot of things that we don't know. Our mission is to explore those truths, mysteries, and principles of how things work to gain knowledge. We aren't born with knowledge, but we acquire it through countless experiments and brainstorming." Fein couldn't help but explain instinctively.

After all, scientists aren't omniscient. But just a type of human that was naturally curious and born with a thirst for knowledge. A type of profession for hungry people. Hungry for improvement, and hungry for the truth.

It's also the reason why Fein believes that hunger and ambition are necessary. Although it isn't bad to be contented. But once a person gets contented. The desire for more, and the desire for improvement, diminishes.

They said that you have to be contented in order to become happy. But in Fein's opinion... It's better to be hungry and had that fire burning in your heart. Because only people with ambition and doesn't settle with the status quo had the ability to achieve greatness.

After all, if our ancestors became contented, we wouldn't have a faucet now or we would still have to get our water in the wells. What if they became contented with their body and if it's okay for them not to wash their bodies, would we have invented soaps? Some people say, let the nature take its course. Let things be...

But Fein had to say. What if you don't brush your teeth and become contented with it? Won't our teeth become home for a variety of bacteria? This is where the role of a scientist like him plays. The desire for improvement and hunger for knowledge of humans was the driving force of innovation and productivity!

That's why although it's not bad to be contented, it's also never good to be over-contented. The creator gave us wisdom and hunger to use it as a tool for improvement and to achieve our goals. Of course, this is only Fein's opinion on the matter. Though, anything in excess is bad. Being too ambitious and hungry might also make one lose their sense of direction. Being too greedy or hungry also has consequences. In the final analysis, the golden rule still applies. Do anything in moderation... As Thanos always promotes. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

"Oh... I'm sorry for them." Sofia didn't expect that Fein would get triggered by her question. "But what do you think happens?"

Fein woke up in his daze when he heard Sofia. 'Damn it! What a useless S-rank philosophy talent! It always led me to overthink!'

"What was your sorry for? It's not as if I'm angry or anything... I'm just explaining." Fein sighed. "As for what could have happened. It might be that evolution takes a lot of energy, so they become more tired easily."

"Hmmm... that makes sense. In that case, we really need to provide nutritious foods in large amounts to support their large energy requirements."

Fein looked speechlessly at Sofia. "How would you want to feed them when they won't wake up any time soon?"

"Nevermind... I made a stupid suggestion." Sofia wants to dig a hole and hide from embarrassment.

"Well, don't worry about it. Let's go and meet my mother!" Fein chuckled and kissed Sofia's forehead.

"Okay..." Sofia responded meekly and retracted her head from his shoulders.

...

"Mom, this is Sofia. My girlfriend and your future daughter-in-law." Fein had a smirk on his face and introduced Sofia to his Melissa proudly.

As for when did he become Sofia's boyfriend... Well, he had a tacit understanding with Sofia.

A smile appeared on Sofia's face as she heard Fein's bold claim. Her heart kept pounding really fast, and she felt an indescribable sweet taste in her mouth. She looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her that has a smooth face and an exact carbon copy of Fey.

"So you are my daughter-in-law?" Melissa hurriedly pushed away Fein on the side and held Sofia's hand with bright eyes. "You're so beautiful! I didn't expect my stupid son would bring an elegant girl like you into our humble home."

Fein, who was pushed aside on the sidelines, had a black line on his face. 'What's the idea? Stupid son?? I'm supposed to be the protagonist here!'

Fey had both of her hands on her mouth as she chuckled quietly. 'Stupid brother...'

Sofia, on the other hand, felt overwhelmed by Melissa's enthusiastic behavior. Her mind blanked out as she touched her and she didn't know how to respond for a while...

Seeing this, Melissa flashed a smile and pulled Sofia to the couch, and says. "Don't be shy. I'll tell you some stories about my son when he was still a silly kid."

"Hey, that topic is taboo!" Fein shouted with a speechless face as he watched his mom and Sofia start their girl talk. Then he couldn't but look at Fey. "Aren't you going to join them?"

"Let mom enjoy her company first." Fey shook her head. "I still have to prepare for the new task captain Gregory assigned to me. Well... I'll go first."

'"Another mission huh? It seems my sister really likes her current job." Fein watched quietly as Fey's back gradually disappeared from his sight.

Now that he doesn't have someone to talk to. He could only stare dazedly at Sofia and his mother, that was talking and laughing with each other. Though he could see that Sofia was still a bit reserved. He really doesn't understand how women could talk harmoniously like that in their first meeting.

'Finally... She would stop pestering me now.' Fein felt relieved as he thought of this.
