Free Web NovelChapter 105: Chapter 105: How Lonely It Is to Be Invincible
The process by which cells evolved into animals is currently a complete blank in the field of biology.
Scientists all have their own differing views. While Chloe Sinclair’s thesis couldn’t be proven true or false, it gave Daisy Young a spark of inspiration.
A glimmer of insight lit up the eyes of Daisy Young, a woman past fifty. "You deduced this from Haeckel’s gastraea theory?"
Chloe Sinclair nodded in acknowledgement. "Yes. Haeckel’s gastraea theory explicitly states that the earliest ancestor of multicellular animals was a spherical colony, similar to Volvox, which formed an invagination on one side to become the progenitor of metazoans. Not only that, but Barnes also once pointed out that the ancestral prototype for multicellular organisms was a flagellate colony."
Daisy Young nodded in admiration. "Your thinking is very logical. For this section, I’m giving you a perfect score."
After a brief pause, Daisy Young said, "Chloe, you’re a Genius."
Chloe Sinclair shook her head. "No, I’m just fortunate. And I work harder than others."
She had said those same words once before.
She met Daisy Young’s gaze and said, "Every Genius needs to work hard."
A brilliant mind only lays the foundation for a Genius.
Hearing this, Daisy Young looked into Chloe Sinclair’s dark eyes and felt a sliver of admiration in her heart.
"Regardless, for your theory today, I’m giving you a perfect score. If you’re interested in biology, my lab would welcome you."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, only realizing after a beat that Daisy Young was extending an olive branch to Chloe Sinclair.
What was even more shocking was that Chloe Sinclair’s expression didn’t change at all, and she tactfully declined.
She gave Daisy Young a slight bow. "Thank you, but my knowledge of biology isn’t very deep. I’m afraid I would fail to meet your expectations."
Despite the rejection, Daisy Young raised her gaze slightly, a kind look in her eyes. "If you need anything in the future, feel free to contact me." ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
She knew Daisy Young was intentionally creating an opportunity for her. Not wanting to let her down, Chloe Sinclair accepted this kind offer of support.
But the other contestants were completely stunned.
After all, among all the mentors, Daisy Young was known for being the strictest.
She might seem nice to all the contestants on stage, but when it came to professional matters, she was stricter than anyone.
Once, when she was teaching at Emberfall University, a junior had misplaced some materials, and when Daisy Young found out, she berated the poor girl until she cried.
So it was incredible that someone like her would show such fondness for Chloe Sinclair.
Anyone with eyes could see that Daisy Young was intentionally trying to mentor Chloe Sinclair.
’Does that mean Chloe Sinclair’s theory was actually perfect?’
Just then, Daisy Young explained, "Although Chloe’s theory hasn’t been tested experimentally, the reasoning and data she presented were very complete. Her line of thinking is quite similar to that of an old friend of mine. If the opportunity arises, I can introduce you two."
This was something Chloe Sinclair hadn’t expected.
Because there was only one friend Daisy Young would mention in such a context.
The renowned Zenthian biologist, Old Man Quinn.
Chloe Sinclair stood on stage, stunned, for a long moment. It wasn’t until Vincent gave her a little nudge that she snapped out of it. Her hand, clutching the microphone, trembled with excitement. She bowed a full ninety degrees and said emotionally, "Thank you, Mr. Young."
When the results of the fourth round came in, only Vincent and Chloe Sinclair remained.
Ever since Chloe Sinclair had first taken notice of Vincent, she had been keeping an eye on him. There was no denying it—Vincent was truly a Genius.
His abilities could not be ignored.
Now, however, an unprecedented backlash against Chloe Sinclair was erupting online.
