Chapter 922: Chapter 40: Yan Qiaoqiao and Lin Yuxi (Additional chapter for Silver Alliance Patron loading7!) Chapter 922: Chapter 40: Yan Qiaoqiao and Lin Yuxi (Additional chapter for Silver Alliance Patron loading7!) He sat up in bed.

He looked over at the electronic alarm clock on the bedside table.

The time displayed was 00:42.

For some reason…

The blinking colon in the middle of the clock, flashing on and off, always reminded Lin Xian of those persistent crystal blue eyes.

Who would’ve thought.

It took so much effort to get away from two blue-eyed girls in reality, only to run into them again in the Dream World.

“Yan Qiaoqiao…”

Lin Xian murmured the girl’s name and couldn’t help but smile wryly,

“You really are everywhere, aren’t you?

Dig up any Underground Hibernation Base, and there you are.”

He scratched his flattened hair.

Slipped on his slippers.

Lin Xian moved to sit at his desk, picked up a water cup, took a sip, licked his lips, and let out a long breath through his nose…

The establishment of Rhein’s Second Research Institute in Donghai City, coupled with his own initiatives for Dean Gao Yan and Nangong Mengjie, propelled the Dream World along with the space-time curvature on the Space-Time Clock to the 0.0000084 world line, or what’s called the Sixth Dreamland.

The Sixth Dreamland, compared to the Fifth Dreamland, had indeed undergone significant changes, but they were not earth-shattering.

Therefore,

The space-time curvature had only jumped by the minimal value of 0.0000042.

“Only the smallest increment changed, so that means…

the world lines of the Fifth and Sixth Dreamlands are right next to each other.”

This was not difficult to understand.

In the past, whenever the Dream World changed, it would essentially reset the entire world:

The First Dreamland to the Second, global technology regressed, new cities bristling with high walls appeared;

The Second Dreamland to the Third, technology advanced but life continued to regress, a City in the Sky emerged, further leading to the decline of life on the ground;

The Third to the Fourth Dreamland, the most incomprehensible of Dreamlands with many mysteries still unsolved…

but at least, the change was indeed radical compared to the Third Dreamland;

The Fourth to the Fifth Dreamland, perhaps there was not a significant technological advancement, but the direction of technological development, the shift of human civilization’s focus, was unprecedented;

In contrast, the world backgrounds of the Fifth and the Sixth Dreamlands, despite differences in details, were essentially the same—

Earth’s great disaster in the year 2400, Jask developing Mars and proceeding with Martian colonization, and the surviving humans taking hundreds of years to complete basic development…

etc., all these worldviews remained unchanged.

“The biggest change was due to the early emergence of the Miniature Nuclear Battery, allowing many who wouldn’t survive until 2624 to avoid the great catastrophe of 2400 and become the surviving fish that slipped through the net.”

“At the top of the list are Gao Wen, the self-proclaimed space-time transmigrator girl Yan Qiaoqiao, as well as Turing.”

In the future of the Fifth Dreamland,

Academician Gao Wen hardly planted his flag before he was gone, either killed by the Genius Club or perishing in the super catastrophe of 2400.

In any case, he never had the chance to open his safe.

But the appearance of the Miniature Nuclear Battery directly provided the hibernation pods with an epochal upgrade, allowing them to operate independently of the external energy supply.

Gao Wen and the self-proclaimed space-time transmigrator girl Yan Qiaoqiao were just lucky to have their hibernation pods withstand the great disaster of 2400.

That’s why…

they could meet the dreaming himself in 2624.

Not to mention the digital life Turing, it should be doubly grateful for the Miniature Nuclear Battery and bow down to Lin Xian upon meeting him.

It’s no exaggeration to say,

Without Lin Xian’s “divine assist,” there is no way the digital life Turing would have survived to see such technologically backward times.

Without electricity, without a network.

Even with Turing’s great capabilities, nothing can be utilized, and it would suffer the loss of its senses, even unable to think at the most basic level.

In the era of networks, the limitations of a digital life are almost non-existent, but in the Primitive Era like the Sixth Dreamland, it’s a real blow, making Turing incapable of even making the smallest splash…

as the last storage hard drive crumbles to dust over time, Turing would be truly dead, perishing on an Earth where not even a cry of agony could be heard.

“Turing, now’s your time to repay your debt.”

Lin Xian hummed softly and picked up a pen.

Then on a blank piece of paper, he started to write down the four options he had just summarized in the Dream World.

“Possibilities for the identity of the hibernation pod girl:”@@novelbin@@

A.

The girl is a space-time traveler from a different future and has no relation to Yu Xi or Yan Qiaoqiao, her name is purely coincidental.

B.

The girl’s true identity is the Yan Qiaoqiao from 2024 who later became a space-time traveler, her appearance changing as a result.

C.

The girl’s true identity is Lin Yuxi, who for some mysterious reason, experienced another space-time alteration later.

D.

An extremely complex brainstorm.

Simply put, Lin Yuxi inexplicably turned into a noticeably younger Yan Qiaoqiao; and Yan Qiaoqiao, through some coincidence, transformed back into Lin Yuxi with a different set of facial features.

Earlier in the Dreamland, just as he finished writing these four hypotheses, he was interrupted by Gao Yang’s exaggerated acting, and didn’t get the chance to apply the Process of Elimination.

But now, it was easier.

Lin Xian had all the time to reason through these options and find the closest, most correct answer:

“Option A can be eliminated first.”

Lin Xian crossed out option A with a red pen, signifying it was incorrect.

It was impossible that all the coincidences in the world just happened to be encountered by him.

He knew Yan Qiaoqiao, and had dealings with both the real and fake Yu Xi…

The skilled beheading technique of the girl in the Dream World was exactly like Lin Yuxi’s!
