Chapter 149 Fool's Pride
'The statue didn't have a name before, as it could create controversy. People simply needed a reason to start a new drama to gain publicity and attention. That's why, the names of the structures are always named after a good or a bad thing.'
'If they are named after a good thing, then obviously they— even those who don't like it— will have to accept the name. And if they name it after a bad thing, they won't have enough guts to protest against it; even if they did, their accusation wouldn't be heeded.'
"But let's see what the government was planning to name it after re-opening the Central Park..."
Rudy glanced around and located a cell tower in the distance on the tall building near the park.
"I am not sure if this idea would work, but it's worth trying." Rudy flew to the tower and stood on top of it.
"I am curious. And this is the best way to test the capabilities of my electrification ability."
Rudy connected his brain waves with the signals coming from the tower and hacked into the satellite. Then, he connected himself from one satellite to another satellite. But suddenly, his connection broke, and he lost his streak.
Rudy held his head in his hands with a painful expression on his face, seemingly, the action had taken a huge loan on his mental strength. He wanted to scream out loud, but he endured and waited for the pain to subside.
"Of course... this would happen if I act too carelessly. But considering this was my first time trying, I did a pretty good job."
SIGH!This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.
Rudy jumped to land near the statue, but he felt dizzy as he hadn't fully recovered yet, and ended up crashing into the tree.
"Great..."
Rudy had reached the limit of his mental strength, and any more use of his powers could be harmful to him.
If he wasn't awake for more than two days, this wouldn't have happened. And the access use of his mental strength without letting his brain rest wasn't something he should do.
Rudy was confused as to why and how he got that information. But then he came to the conclusion that it happened when he was trying to hack into the satellites to create an information chain.
"Hmm~" Rudy placed his hand on his chin and wondered, "So the government still hasn't learned its lesson."
SIGH!
"And here I thought smart people learn from their mistakes..." he groaned.
'My world also had the super gene experiment, but it was a failure. All the other test subjects died before me, and I was the last one. They had decided to stop the experiments as they didn't make any progress.'
"But... I wonder if anything had gone wrong, that world would have turned out the same as this one..." he murmured.
In the end, Rudy decided to name the statue that fit Scott perfectly.
"Fool's Pride."
Rudy smirked at Scott and asked, "Did you like your new name? It's better than Scott scoot, and it suits you."
After that, Rudy teleported to Alice's room, or he wanted to, but he didn't have enough mental strength to use teleportation.
"..."
So, he decided to fly there instead. But he was too sleepy to keep his eyes open, and his ears were muffled by the pressure of the air. As he was flying at high speed, trying to get to Alice's house as soon as possible, he hit something in the air.
"..."
He stopped and looked back to see a broken wing of an airplane.
"Uh oh!"

Thanks, @macraw93, for suggesting the name!
