Genius Club

Chapter 115: Chapter 110 Destiny_2

Afterward, Lee Cheng nodded and smiled at Lin Xian:

“Good.”

“Although this is a very difficult decision to make, I think we can give it a try.”

Oh no, no, no!

Er Zhuzi panicked!

With a slap, he hit San Pang on the back of the head:

“San Pang, do you think it’s feasible?!”

San Pang’s eyes were wise as he shook his head:

“I don’t think so.”

“I think it’s possible!” The crisp voice of Lee Ningning came from behind.

Lin Xian turned around.

Now, Lee Ningning was dressed in casual clothes, a simple pink tracksuit, looking youthful and beautiful.

But the natural charm in her eyes and eyebrows was truly intoxicating at a glance.

Her hair was loose, seemingly just washed.

The smooth black hair danced in the wind, possessing a certain gentle beauty.

She walked up to Lee Cheng:

“Dad, I think we should try the 314 Waste Treatment Plant.”

“We’ve been in this business for so long, when have we ever been afraid of death? If we were, we wouldn’t be doing this.”

This girl was impressive.

Lin Xian inwardly sighed with admiration, she truly was Lee Cheng’s daughter, with a heroic spirit.

With that said.

Three votes in favor, two against.

“Okay, then it’s decided!”

Lee Cheng clapped his hands, signaling everyone to calm down, then walked over and patted Lin Xian on the shoulder:

“Lin Xian, I’m very grateful for the valuable information you’ve provided, but this operation is fraught with danger and likely to encounter many unexpected situations.”

“So… tonight, you must follow Big Face Cat’s orders and not act on your own. Safety first, even if we don’t steal anything, we must ensure a safe retreat.”

Lin Xian nodded.

Looking at Lee Cheng in front of him, he couldn’t help but recall the cowardly, despicable creature from The First Dreamland.

There was still a sense of disparity between the characters.

But probably it would get better after spending more time together.

Temporal Flux could change the world, history, and everyone’s destiny…

Bad people could become good.

Good people could become evil.

Since Lee Cheng had transformed from the great devil of Donghai City to the current valiant hero.

Then Zhao Yingjun…

Lin Xian turned his head and looked at the Steel Sci-fi City that the setting sun had turned a bloody red, New Donghai City.

Looking at the center of the city, the Sea-Calming Divine Needle, the twin towers of the MX Company headquarters…

That Zhao Yingjun.

Could she have become the evil dragon lurking over New Donghai City?

Or perhaps.

She was always the dragon, but her time had not yet come, so Lin Xian had not heard her roar?

For better or worse, Lin Xian wasn’t eager to see Zhao Yingjun’s name still listed as the CEO of MX Company on some newspaper or book.

But…

Reality is reality.

If she had received the invitation from the Genius Club and was very likely to have joined as an official member.@@novelbin@@

Consider the connection between the Genius Club and Xu Yun’s death;

Consider the moon in the sky bearing the mark of Black Hand’s club;

Recall Big Face Cat’s father being taken away for calculating the universal constant 42;

Recall the success of the Hibernation Pod and the MX Building at the heart of New Donghai City, towering into the sky…

Putting together all the clues, it made sense for Zhao Yingjun’s name to appear in newspapers and books 600 years later.

In fact, it seemed quite logical.

“Everyone pack up, let’s set off as soon as possible!”

With an order from Lee Cheng, everyone dispersed.

Because they had changed the target to a new Waste Treatment Plant, they had to scout the location in advance. They had to recalculate the patrol routes of the drones, so they had to start making reconnaissance trips early.

…

Nighttime.

23:00

Lin Xian, wearing the Rhine Cat Mask, had already been lurking in the jungle for quite some time.

Members of the Lian Gang, along with Lee Ningning, arrived around nine o’clock and squatted outside the tall walls of Waste Treatment Plant No. 314.

Big Face Cat and his three underlings hid at the front of the jungle, about thirty meters from the tall wall, intently watching the six drones patrolling the sky.

Just now, Big Face Cat said he had finished calculating. The patrol routes and logic of these six drones were the same as those at the previous garbage plant; he had also figured out the most reasonable blind spot timing for surveillance and had made corresponding plans for sneaking in and retreating.

“But we still need to confirm it a few more times, at least three times to ensure our calculations are correct before we dare to take action,”

After saying this, Big Face Cat continued to turn his head and watch the drones.

Lin Xian was quite surprised…

He felt that Big Face Cat did have some mathematical talent, inherited from his father.

Perhaps everyone has unique talents and abilities.

Only the timing, circumstances, and experiences differ; some people’s gifts are brought to light and displayed, while others’ talents find no place to shine.

“Times make heroes,” this saying is truly not wrong.

Sigh…

Sigh…

Sigh…

The cool summer breeze rustled through the jungle.

The air was mixed with the fresh scent of young leaves, the fragrance of roses from Lee Ningning, and the burnt odor coming from the incinerators at the garbage plant.

Lin Xian looked at the girl beside him.

Her figure was very similar to CC’s, especially highlighted by the black bodysuit, which made her look more slender and delicate. But on closer inspection, it wasn’t hard to see she was still much more immature than CC.

“What’s up?”

Lee Ningning, wearing an Ultraman mask, turned her head, and her twinkling peach-blossom eyes met Lin Xian’s through the holes in her mask.

“Nothing,”

Lin Xian averted his gaze, looking towards the majestic and imposing steel high wall in front of him.

Inside the high wall…

What kind of life were the little girls in New Donghai City living?

Luxurious?

Noble?

Wealthy?

But no matter what, they surely were not like Lee Ningning now. At an age when she should have been as delicate as a flower, she was squatting outside the stinking Waste Treatment Plant, risking her life, just to steal a few water-soaked, filthy-smelling books.

“Actually, I don’t really like this world,” Lin Xian murmured softly.

“I don’t like it either,”

Lee Ningning picked at the tree bark beside her:

“But this is our fate. What use is it not to like it?”

“Do you believe in fate?” Lin Xian looked at her.

“I don’t,”

Lee Ningning tore off a large piece of bark, turned her head to Lin Xian:

“Would I be doing this if I believed in fate?”

“I believe that everyone’s fate is in their own hands. If you don’t work hard, nothing will change. But with effort, perhaps everything can be changed.”

She folded the piece of bark, balled it up, and threw it vigorously towards the patrolling drone.

The tree bark was light and thin, falling back down after not going far, nowhere near high enough to reach the drone.

Lin Xian watched the piece of bark that fell on the ground, which had been twisted together, but now, under the action of elasticity and tenacity, slowly unfolded and stretched out.

That stubborn and unyielding appearance was just like Lee Ningning.

“Your thoughts are quite good,”

Lin Xian chuckled lightly:

“I really like them.”

“Thanks,”

“Hey—!”

Big Face Cat turned his head, a look of disdain on his face as he pointed at Lin Xian:

“You kid! You’ve taken a liking to her! I’m warning you, bro! Ningning is only ** years old, mind your boundaries!”

“Aren’t you tired of playing that stale joke every day?” Lin Xian was really annoyed:

“What’s wrong with just talking to someone? You guys are too nosy!”

Er Zhuzi stood up straight—

“Shut up.” Lin Xian pointed at Er Zhuzi and interrupted him:

“Don’t bring up the matter of your sister-in-law.”

“Stop the noise, all of you!” Big Face Cat waved a hand, his expression serious.

He stared at the two surveillance drones approaching in the sky, assuming a horse stance with his broad back and sturdy build:

“The blind spot for surveillance is about to come… everyone focus…”

“Get ready for action!”
