"Actually, in my eyes, many people are far more capable than I am, and I don't think building the Ark Sanctuary is some kind of blessing."
He paused, subconsciously glancing at his system panel: "I just happened to have some advantages, that's all."
"Sharing resources with those in need isn't a loss for me."
Lin Lan admitted: "Instead, I'll receive more in return."
"What if someone betrays you because of it?" Eleanor pressed on.
"Then let the traitor pay the price."
Lin Lan spread his hands: "I'm not an omniscient god; how could I never make mistakes?"
"To be honest, I'm always afraid that my trusted companions will fall before me, so I have to find a way to stand ahead of them."
He softened his tone: "So I'm willing to trust you. Even if I can't save this crumbling world, at least I won't regret my life on my deathbed."
"Such strange logic..."
Eleanor murmured, reclining on the soft sofa like Lin Lan and letting out a comfortable sigh: "Fine, do as you please."
