…
Several hours later.
“Lin Xian, I didn’t find anything.”
From the bedside table, Lin Xian’s phone emitted the sound of VV.
“Couldn’t match the old man’s photo, or you mean you couldn’t find information on Kevin Walker?”
“I didn’t find anything at all.”
VV spoke in a low voice:
“Truly not a trace, not a single trace…
It’s somewhat understandable that I couldn’t match the photo of the old man.
After all, you didn’t give me a photo, just a sketch, which might be inaccurate.
Besides, it is also possible that this person, living 600 years later, has not yet been born in 2023.”
“But not finding any information on Kevin Walker at all, isn’t that too strange?
I can only find his traces online, which are indeed very active.

The ID Kevin Walker often posts on various forums.
It’s just…
when I follow these online traces into reality, trying to trace them to their source, I find absolutely nothing, as if he vanished into thin air.”
“I originally thought that this genius hacker kid might just be really good in the field of cyber intrusion, able to construct an impenetrable Black Hand that surrounds China’s internet.
But I didn’t expect…
he is also outrageously strong in other computer fields.
I admit, I might have underestimated him.”
Lin Xian propped his chin with his hand.
Not a trace,
Vanishing into thin air,
As if nonexistent,
Hiding oneself,
Cyber Black Hand,
Unbelievably strong.
These traits of Kevin Walker that VV mentioned, when connected, immediately made Lin Xian think of another existence with the same traits—
Genius Club.
This too was an organization that lay hidden in the river of history, unnoticed, undiscovered, leaving behind no trace.
Before, Lin Xian had always wondered, given that geese leave traces when they fly past, can things that truly exist in this world not leave any trace at all?
In the past, he definitely wouldn’t have believed it.
But now…
As his horizons gradually widened and he witnessed many things beyond his cognition, Lin Xian began to believe in those “impossible” things that “ordinary people” think of.
Just how big is the gap between a true genius and an average person?
When the Wright brothers said they wanted to make airplanes fly in the sky, ordinary people thought it was a fantasy;
When Copernicus proposed heliocentrism, ordinary people found it incomprehensible;
To this day, many people still think that Mi Country’s moon landing was a hoax;
And so on.
There are many things like these.
The gap between a true genius and an average person is not just in cognition, but more so in common sense judgment.
Lin Xian witnessed that in the Third Dreamland, there were no traces of his own history.
Absolutely none; even the complete form of VV couldn’t find the slightest clue.
But in reality, he certainly existed, it’s just that all traces were erased.
Zhao Yingjun’s old age photo was the same, erased without a trace.
Kevin Walker also left no traces, everything about his existence was erased spotlessly, to the point that even VV couldn’t track him down.
So then,
what about the Genius Club?
“Sometimes the gap between people can be bigger than the gap between a human and a dog.”
Lin Xian thought of this saying out of the blue.
Until today, he also knew the Genius Club was very powerful, and he could sense that fact.
But to be honest, he didn’t have a real sense of this strength.
However, now he did.
According to his original expectations, even the child-form VV, in the era of 2023, should be unbeatable.
But the fact is…
The emergence of VV instead broadened Lin Xian’s horizons, showing him a world he had never seen before, areas he had never touched, and hyperbolic geniuses he had never even dared to imagine.
“If Kevin Walker really is a member of the Genius Club, or rather, if there are hackers stronger than Kevin Walker in the Genius Club…
then it’s not hard to explain why the Genius Club could hide in the river of history for 600 years, never noticed by mankind.”
“At the same time, it’s also not hard to explain why I was exposed in the Fourth Dreamland, why I could fail even with the help of the advanced AI VV.”
“Because the strength of the enemy is too formidable.
Just dealing with Kevin Walker is difficult enough, what if there are people in the Genius Club who are even stronger than him?
What if there is more than one such genius who surpasses the era within the Genius Club?”
“Hey, hey, hey!!”
With a bang!
The glass door of the microwave on the bar burst open, and the protesting and angry voice of VV came:
“What kind of depressing talk is this!
When have I ever failed?
I just haven’t found information on Kevin Walker…
It’s not like I’ve been exposed!
Nor has he discovered me!
If you have to make an assessment…
then we are equals!
I can’t find him, and he can’t find me either!”
“And you, you capitalist, are too exploitative of child labor!
I’ve only been in this world for less than half a month, almost constantly running around with you without a moment’s rest, then still needing to take time to acquire various knowledge, to think, ponder, deepen logic, exercise thinking, update and evolve…
I’m almost dead from exhaustion!”
“Honestly, I want to rest and take a vacation too, like in the data center next to the Three Gorges Dam, enjoying the cooling of natural mountain spring water while taking an afternoon nap in the hydrating atmosphere of hydropower.
Or going to the Northwest Plateau to find a big wind turbine, drying in the dry monsoon, and basking in the sun in the comfort of wind power.
Or perhaps go to the Hongyan River Nuclear Power Plant in the Northeast and gorge in the rich taste of nuclear power.

Isn’t that much better than following you around being constantly startled every single day?”
