“Senior Lin Xian!”
The award ceremony had just ended, and as he was about to head backstage, a devilishly fluffy high ponytail sprung up from below the stage.
Soon after, the familiar petite figure, the familiar crescent-shaped eyes, and the familiar heartwarming smile approached as Chu Anqing jogged over, standing in front of Lin Xian with her hands clasped behind her back.
Lin Xian stepped forward and offered the world competition trophy he had just received:
“Want to take a look?
If it weren’t for you, I couldn’t have won it.”
“Wow, it’s beautiful!
Is it made of pure gold?”
Chu Anqing chuckled as she held the trophy, examining it from top to bottom:
“Hehe, if I can lift it, it’s definitely not pure gold.
Plus, it feels hollow by its weight.”
“Trophies like these generally aren’t made of pure gold.”
Lin Xian explained:
“Gold is too soft and easily deformed, and besides…
with trophies, honor matters more than the actual value, so the material isn’t that important.”

Watching Chu Anqing scrutinize the trophy, Lin Xian looked around but didn’t spot Chu Shanhe.That was odd.
How could that doting father possibly allow his teenage daughter to travel abroad alone?
Not to mention making such a risky move in this venue full of people from Mi Country…
and where were her bodyguards?
They weren’t around either.
Just now, if Huang Que hadn’t shown up in time, Chu Anqing would have been in real danger.
It could have been a major incident.
“How did you come here by yourself, An Qing?”
Lin Xian asked:
“Where’s your father?
Did he agree to let you come alone?”
“Oh…”
Chu Anqing scratched her head, smiling sheepishly:
“He definitely wouldn’t agree, I sneaked out on my own.
Last time I went home, I took my passport out, and I asked for leave from school but didn’t tell my family…
so I just took a plane to New York by myself.”
“So…
Senior Lin Xian, you must keep this a secret from my dad!
If he knew I came to Mi Country alone, he would kill me!”
Hehe.
Lin Xian gave a wry smile.
That would be more than a simple scolding, right?
If Chu Shanhe knew what she had done in the crowd of burly men from Mi Country, wouldn’t he be scared to death?
It seemed that he himself also needed to employ the trick Zhao Yingjun used in the Third Dreamland, and the one Kevin Walker is using now.
He lifted his right hand and tapped his Bluetooth earpiece twice.
“Understood, I’ll delete the related videos and photos from the internet.”
VV replied from the earpiece.
This was easy for it.
After all, Huang Que had quickly taken Chu Anqing under protection before she could even cry out twice, and the plainclothes crew-cuts had surrounded the two tightly, so the cameras could barely capture a clear image.
The few clear videos that existed hadn’t spread yet, and VV easily deleted them.
“That was too dangerous.
Don’t do it again.”
Lin Xian thought for a moment:
“There probably won’t be a next time.”
This hacker contest was truly a desperate struggle for survival.
If he didn’t come to Mi Country to compete, to intervene in this matter, then China’s Internet Security Great Wall and the Skynet System would be breached.
Everything around him would be under 24-hour surveillance, and even if Kevin Walker couldn’t locate him immediately, it was just a matter of time.
In any case…
Every camera on the street, cell phone, dash cam, even the reversing cameras would become tools to surveil him.
The thought was truly terrifying.
If Kevin Walker got his hands on the Skynet System, it would turn into an actual net surrounding him, leaving no place to hide or escape.
Therefore.
He couldn’t just ignore the matter of Skynet for his own safety.
VV felt the same.
The Internet Security Great Wall was an excellent barrier and buffer zone, a natural shield that VV could use; especially for the juvenile VV, protecting this wall was crucial not only for Lin Xian’s safety but also for gaining as much time as possible for its own growth and updates.
From that perspective, the trip to Mi Country was necessary.
Inevitable, rather.
His physical self, accompanied by the juvenile VV across national borders, went to Einstein’s House to retrieve the gift left by Ji Lin, only daring to do so under the protection of the national official forces.
Hence, there was no need to be apprehensive and fret about the past now.
Overall, the trip to Mi Country was worthwhile.
At the very least, it clarified many things and expanded the direction for the path ahead.
Since he was already targeted by the mysterious old man in the Fourth Dreamland, constrained by force…
he must break through the siege in reality, find a way to locate the mysterious old man’s existence in 2023, and rescue himself trapped in the Fourth Dreamland.
This was a battle that must be fought sooner or later.
One that he couldn’t avoid.
Seeing Lin Xian suddenly fall silent.
Chu Anqing nodded obediently:
“I’m sorry, Senior Lin Xian.
Now that I think about it, it seems I really did something foolish, and I feel quite embarrassed…
”
“But at that moment, I just felt everyone thought you couldn’t win, and it made me angry.
I wanted to come over and cheer for you.
I didn’t expect those people from Mi Country to suddenly be so rude and boo.
𝘯𝗈𝘷𝘨𝘰.co
I got so excited that…
I guess I lost my mind, hehe.”
“It’s okay.”
Lin Xian said with a smile:
“Some things are done and there’s no absolute right or wrong.
I said that because I was concerned about your safety, with no other intention to reproach you.”
“Yo, Lin Xian, who’s this girl?”
Backstage entrance.
The Team China coach walked over.
He had come to check on Lin Xian when he saw that he wasn’t following along and soon noticed the lovely young girl.
