Lin Ruo naturally didn't know Admiral of Stars Cattleya's thoughts, as he was currently watching the sea and contemplating.
Seeing that Admiral of Stars Cattleya remained silent, he continued:
"Actually, I also worry about the World Mushroom Day arriving, after all, Frank's creativity is indeed terrifyingly strong in some sense."
"But I also look forward to it..." He stretched out his hand, catching the sunlight spilling from the sky with his fingertips, a brilliant smile on his face.
"I look forward to a day when, because of Frank's marvelous inventions, people, whether living in sunlight or in darkness, will no longer go hungry. I look forward to famine receding from this Mystical World, and no one ever dying of starvation again."
He was a selfish and incompetent person, lacking the ability to change the distorted status quo of various countries in the Mystical World. This was not just a matter of strength, but also because Lin Ruo knew that even if he truly had the ability to violently overthrow the Loen Royal Family, the great nobles, and others, he wouldn't be able to establish the world he envisioned afterward.
This wasn't something that could be achieved with a snap decision, nor was it a problem that could be solved by simply copying what others did.
Lin Ruo dared to instigate a revolution in his previous world because he had several scriptwriters behind him. Things he couldn't do would naturally be done for him, and Lin Ruo only needed to do what he was good at—like eliminating those who needed to be eliminated, and developing people or forces that could be developed into friends.
But in this Mystical World, even if someone was willing to join him in a revolution, no one had the ability to help him build the new order he anticipated—at least not among the people Lin Ruo knew.
Lin Ruo himself also didn't think he had that ability; he was very self-aware in this regard.
And under this premise, Lin Ruo clearly understood that if he truly acted rashly, he would likely not only fail to bring a happy life to people like Old Kohler but would also bring them deeper suffering.
So, what could be done for the ordinary people of this Mystical World?
After much thought, the selfish and incompetent Lin Ruo, aside from saving those tragedies that shouldn't have happened and contributing to saving the world, could only think of trying to solve their problem of having enough to eat.
He hoped the people of City of Silver could eat well, and he also hoped that all living beings in this Mystical World could escape famine.
So, even if he felt his sanity dropping, Lin Ruo still supported Frank's research. The mushrooms of City of Silver were just the first step; the future he looked forward to was Frank, the Father of Famine Resolution.
As for the distortions of the Mystical World... Lin Ruo recalled Justice Audrey, who betrayed her class in the Late Stage of the original novel, and the Rebel Army in the colonies supported by Klein, whispering:
"Life will always find a way out for itself..."
He didn't have the ability to be the leader, but he didn't mind giving a push when everything happened, and he didn't mind helping truly capable people change this Mystical World.
As for the people who died in this process... Lin Ruo couldn't manage that.
Just as he never considered himself a good person, Lin Ruo never had the grand ambition of saving everyone. He knew he couldn't do it, nor did he possess such an overflowing sense of justice.
Everything he did now was simply because he wanted to do it.
Was this a form of self-satisfaction?
Lin Ruo wasn't sure, nor did he care.
—Never cared.
"What?" Admiral of Stars Cattleya was stunned for a moment. She had certainly heard Lin Ruo's whisper, but she clearly didn't understand how strong Lin Ruo's thought leaps could be and couldn't keep up with his train of thought.
Of course, even if she understood that, she probably wouldn't be able to comprehend Lin Ruo.
This was the generation gap between people of this Mystical World and a Transmigrator.
Lin Ruo didn't answer her "What?" He just looked at her and said, "You may not understand my expectation, but I truly believe that Frank is a person who can create miracles."
If a person could bring about the World Mushroom Day, then why couldn't he be expected to bring about miracles?
Even if the mushrooms looked sanity-dropping, if they could fill people's stomachs, wasn't that a good thing?
Admiral of Stars Cattleya pursed her lips. She seemed to ponder for a moment before saying:
"Will there really be a day when famine recedes from this Mystical World?"
For Admiral of Stars Cattleya, this was truly an unimaginable thing.
In this era, it was common for the poor at the bottom of society in various countries to not have enough to eat. Just as people died of starvation every day in the East Borough of Backlund, Admiral of Stars Cattleya truly couldn't believe in a world where no one would ever starve to death again.
"I believe that day will come," Lin Ruo smiled, then said half-jokingly:
"Perhaps by that day, we might even be on a mural because of Frank. Frank, the great Father of Mushrooms, who solved the problem of food production, and his friend Wayne, and Captain Cattleya, doesn't that sound great?"
Hearing this, Admiral of Stars Cattleya couldn't help but imagine the scene in her mind, and the corners of her mouth also curved upwards slightly. She subconsciously asked, "Why 'Father of Mushrooms'?"
"Probably because of 'Praise the Mushroom'?" Lin Ruo said with a smile.
Praise the Mushroom?
Admiral of Stars Cattleya couldn't help but look at Lin Ruo for a few more seconds. She suddenly fell silent for several seconds before seriously saying:
"Your Highness Wayne, you are a true angel."
The word "angel" here clearly didn't just refer to strength but also carried another meaning.
Lin Ruo looked at her and smiled, shaking his head, "No, I'm just an ordinary person."
Not a good person, not a bad person, and certainly not a Saint.
He was just an ordinary person.
Admiral of Stars Cattleya didn't speak again after hearing this, but her gaze towards Lin Ruo held more respect than before.
No longer because of Lin Ruo's strength, nor because he was the Queen's godfather, but simply because of who he was.
At this moment, even if she still thought he might be as crazy as Frank, Admiral of Stars Cattleya genuinely believed he was a respectable person.
Facing such a gaze, Lin Ruo just smiled, too lazy to argue further.
The captain's cabin fell silent for a moment. After about ten seconds, a "thump-thump-thump" knock on the door sounded. Accompanied by Admiral of Stars Cattleya's "Come in," Frank and Klein appeared at the doorway, each holding a large bag full of mushrooms.
"Wayne, I've prepared the mushrooms you wanted. There are all sorts of flavors, and I even developed a new watermelon flavor; you should like it." Frank shook the bag in his hand towards Lin Ruo, seemingly in a very good mood.
Klein, beside him, had a somewhat helpless smile, but his gaze towards Lin Ruo held a hint of complexity.
"Thank you so much, Frank, these mushrooms will be a great help." Lin Ruo went to meet him, a wide smile on his face, but not at all surprised.
Because as soon as Klein appeared at the door, he knew.
As for when the two of them arrived, well, of course, it was when Huang Jiajia finished asking, "Isn't that so?"
