Genius Club

Chapter 1019: Chapter 63 Obsession

Lin Xian thought hard.

His brain ached from the effort.

But he still couldn’t recall where he had seen the name Du Yao.

“Ah… I’m sure I’ve seen it before.”

Lin Xian was certain of it.

He had an absolute impression.

The name must have been seen somewhere; it wasn’t so profound, just a quick glance, that’s why it was difficult to recall.

Every day, people come into contact with a massive amount of text and image information.

Websites, books, papers, advertisements, short videos, mobile images, movies…

For a name that didn’t leave a deep impression,

it’s truly difficult to dredge from memory.

“If only I had a [Neural Electrocution Helmet].”

Lin Xian murmured:

“If I had this helmet and it zapped me on the head, I’d definitely be able to remember where I saw that name.”

“Eh, wait a minute.”

He suddenly thought.

If he couldn’t find Lady Du Yao, then this helmet simply couldn’t be made… Not just that it couldn’t be made now, but even centuries later, the neuroscience field would never make a critical breakthrough, and the progress of this helmet would stall at Lady Du Yao.

The good news was, he did have some clue about Du Yao, at least he had seen the name somewhere;

The bad news was, according to the handwritten letter from Gao Wen, she would die in Africa in the middle of the 21st century.

“Never mind, I’ll stop thinking about it for now.”

Lin Xian shook his head.

Hard thinking was futile; there were too many and too varied things piling up in his mind. According to their importance and urgency, he should first deal with the third question from the Genius Club, the mystery of his own death on July 7, and the case of Jask being switched at birth by the tanuki cat.

“Tomorrow, I’ll enter the dreamland again and take a look.”

He yawned.

This time, he entered The Seventh Dreamland quite late, and by the time he got in, the sun had already set. He explored very little and gathered sparse information.

Especially concerning the blue-eyed woman, who had become the village head, he should spend more time with her to gain more clues.

After all…

Just as CC said before.

Emotions can exist independently from memories.

Since the blue-eyed woman’s memories had completely vanished, what about emotions? Could he find some flaws or hints from emotions?

Previously, when Lin Xian showed Zheng Xiangyue a sketch of Rhein Cat, Zheng Xiangyue, who had hibernated for hundreds of years and was actually over 116 years old, burst into tears in an instant.

At that moment, Lin Xian could affirm that she was definitely Zheng Xiangyue.

This is human [emotion].

Something more elusive to scientists than memory.

Lin Xian walked into the living room, took out some ready-to-eat products from the fridge, cooked a simple meal in the kitchen, and had a midnight snack to fill his stomach.

It must be said.

Compared to those deliciously fragrant skewers of lamb, this tasted like wax, and even… the braised bear head in Big Face Cat’s hand seemed somewhat appealing.

“Tomorrow I must try Lee Cheng’s banquet.”

Lin Xian wiped his mouth:

“And head to Bonfire Square a bit earlier. If I don’t meet Gao Wen, according to what CC said, I might still see Lee Ningning, see the Lee Family’s little darling.”

Lin Xian had a good impression of the young girl Lee Ningning.

Brave.

Unyielding.

Like a butterfly that flutters against the wind, refusing to accept fate.

He had met her twice in the wastelands, each time lamenting… She should have been a princess bathed in immense love, yet she was forced to rummage through rubbish in a foul garbage heap.

Now, Lee Ningning had finally achieved her wish to become the daughter of Donghai City’s city lord, a true princess.

Lin Xian really wanted to meet her.

Even if…

Lee Ningning did not know him, did not know who he was, and did not know that they had held hands twice before, allowing Lin Xian to keep her Peace Wallet.

But no matter.

To Lin Xian, who had experienced thousands of cycles of rebirth and oblivion, it did not matter.

As long as he could see Lee Ningning, the girl cheated by fate, live the happy life she longed for, he would be content.

He stood up.

After washing the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, Lin Xian went back to bed to continue sleeping.

…

The next day, Lin Xian woke up very early.

Because his sleep quality had been excellent recently.

There were some things to do this morning, which were to visit Rhein’s second laboratory with Brother Wang, the Vice President of Rhein Company.

Rhein’s second laboratory was different from Liu Feng’s first laboratory; it was entirely a commercial, profit-driven, public laboratory.

Its existence was for the purpose of making money, providing sufficient cash flow for Rhein Company.

Currently.

The main cash flow of Rhein Company was still the 2 billion each sponsored by Zhao Yingjun and Chu Shanhe at the beginning, which by now had been almost depleted. Brother Wang frequently expressed headache recently, saying the accounts were empty, and without money, there was no sense of security:

“We need to develop some business ventures that can make big money, Lin Xian. To be frank, Rhein Cat is just a toy. No matter how popular it is, no matter how well it sells, it cannot support all the trouble you cause…”

“Look at you, one minute setting up a laboratory with Donghai University, spending here and there; the next minute collaborating with Dragon Science Academy on a laboratory, spending here and there; moreover… the high salaries for those Ph.D. students, researchers, and academic consultants you recruited… We have to provide salaries and subsidies for them.”

“Then there’s your big spending habits, always waving your hand and splurging on purchases. We’ve already nearly squandered the 40 billion; what are we going to do with the company in the future? We can’t just live off our reserves!”

“If Rhein Company goes under due to poor management… don’t forget, Tem Bank will be dragged down too! Didn’t you say before that even if Rhein collapses, Tem must not? Now, even for the sake of Tem Bank, we should be seeking new avenues.”
