Genius Club

Chapter 924: Chapter 40: Yan Qiaoqiao and Lin Yuxi (Additional chapter for Silver Alliance Patron loading7!)_3
 

At least getting Yan Qiaoqiao’s hair was easy—there were a thousand ways to do it.

Getting Zhao Yingjun’s was a bit more challenging, but it wasn’t absolutely impossible.

“Real or fake, no matter how absurd, the purpose of the process of elimination is to rule out all other possibilities and verify whether an absurd answer is correct, right?”

Lin Xian convinced himself,

“Anyway, let’s try it; it won’t take much effort.”

Having said that,

Lin Xian flipped over the paper on the desk and wrote down the immediate goals in reality and dreams on the back:

1. In Disneyland, find a way to obtain Yan Qiaoqiao and Zhao Yingjun’s hair.

2. In the dream, find Turing, ask about my cause of death, the truth behind the 2400 super catastrophe, and… find a way to deceive Turing to obtain the method to annihilate Turing in 2024.

3. To annihilate Turing in 2024 is the “greatest historical correction” I have to perform for the Genius Club… and to pass the second test.

4. If it is really confirmed that Yan Qiaoqiao is Lin Yuxi, then I must quickly find the source of Yan Qiaoqiao turning back into Lin Yuxi and prevent the inevitable fate of being beheaded on July 7.

…

Lin Xian capped the pen.

Looking at the four immediate goals listed on the paper.

The first three were straightforward, just act according to the plan.

But the fourth goal…

Recalling Yan Qiaoqiao’s adorable face, and then thinking about Lin Yuxi’s cold and hate-filled eyes,

Lin Xian found it very hard to regard these two girls as the same person.

He admitted.

He really liked Yan Qiaoqiao.

Not just because he found her cute and fun, but also interesting.

Rather…

Indeed.

He always felt an inexplicable closeness to Yan Qiaoqiao.

When Zhao Yingjun asked him to help take care of Yan Qiaoqiao for a few days, he happily agreed, without any dislike.

Even if taking Yan Qiaoqiao out would delay the progress of exploring the dream… Lin Xian still didn’t refuse.

So.

If it really was the worst outcome—

Yan Qiaoqiao is Lin Yuxi, and she will behead and kill me on July 7.

Then…

What should I do?

Lin Xian’s mind went blank.

Especially considering an even worse possibility—

[If… Lin Yuxi, just as I had guessed before, is actually the biological daughter of Zhao Yingjun and me… how should I handle this?]@@novelbin@@

“Ah…”

Lin Xian felt troubled.

Scratching his head.

Indeed a difficult crossroads to decide.

If she really is my daughter, “the tigress would not eat her cubs,” I definitely can’t strike heavily at Lin Yuxi.

But what about Lin Yuxi’s opinion?

To her, I have no emotions, only seen as a heinous historical criminal, with a determination to “arrest you by the law for peace and justice even if you are my father.”

She was clearly too heavily brainwashed, she might not listen to my explanations and exhortations.

“Forget it, forget it.”

Lin Xian shook his head:

“Thinking so far ahead is useless right now, let’s wait until I confirm the relationship between Lin Yuxi and Yan Qiaoqiao before considering it. Otherwise… there’s no evidence or confirmation now, thinking more is just useless.”

“Luckily, July 7 is still some time away from now; I still have enough time to figure out the truth and prevent it in advance.”

“The immediate priority is still to explore the dreams first; currently, the majority of clues and truths rely on the progress of dreams to arrive at answers.”

“But… not all are bad news, after all.”

Lin Xian smiled slightly.

Thinking about the last dream that just ended, the girl in the hibernation warehouse was like a war-god, almighty and yet her brain blank without any memory…

[Isn’t this just the perfect body born for combat duties?]

Strong in battle, empty-headed, a blank slate, easy to train!

As long as I can pull the girl into my team with Big Face Cat and Gao Wen… it will indeed be like adding wings to a tiger.

Whether it’s breaking out of the Bobcat Tribe or infiltrating the Grey Bear and Porcupine Tribes, it would be much easier.

Lin Xian looked up.

At the three-dimensional calendar on the table.

It was opened to the page for July, with a red circle drawn around the 7th, marking my designated death date.

Swish.

Flipping a page forward, on June 1st, printed in regular font was the International Children’s Day.

It was also the day Lin Xian and Yan Qiaoqiao, along with Zhao Yingjun, planned to visit Disneyland.

“I also promised to buy Yan Qiaoqiao a gift.”

Looking down at his watch.

The time was now May 31, 01:11.

Tomorrow would be Children’s Day; going into the dream to explore at noon meant choosing a gift for Yan Qiaoqiao could only happen this morning.

“Alright then.”

Lin Xian got up from the chair, preparing to sleep early and rise early:

“Tomorrow morning, first go to the laboratory at Donghai University to see Liu Feng, then swing by the big mall to buy a Children’s Day gift for Yan Qiaoqiao, and after that… head home to sleep, continuing to brave The Sixth Dreamland.”

Another busy day ahead.

Lin Xian turned off the desk lamp.

Lying on the bed.

A dreamless night.

…

In the morning, at the Rhein United Laboratory of Donghai University, Lin Xian fiddled with the unremarkable Space-Time Clock in his hand, asking Liu Feng:

“It’s still the same question we discussed before, you said those space-time particles that lost energy can be recharged, how do we achieve this? Any results?”

Liu Feng shook his head:

“No clue at all. But these few days I’ve actually ruled out some previous speculations.”

“I had previously suspected, the mechanism for space-time particles regaining energy… could the supplementary energy possibly come from space-time curvature, changes in the world lines?”
