Chapter 447: Chapter 66: Impossible Game_3 Chapter 447: Chapter 66: Impossible Game_3 Lin Xian waved his hand:
“Ah, that kind of thing, I actually don’t find it very important.
Compared to other issues, the color of Huang Que’s eyes is the least noteworthy mystery on her.”
“Let’s not talk about this for now.”
He walked over to the dormitory desk, poured himself a glass of cold water with a cup, and drank it down in one go.
Clunk.
He placed the empty cup on the desk and sighed:
“In the dream just now, I still didn’t see the airship of Tem Bank in the sky.”
“This is so strange…”
He furrowed his brows:
“I even called Brother Wang yesterday, and he said that the factory has already started producing the hafnium alloy safes, and the Tem Bank premises have also signed the lease contract.
I told Brother Wang not to rent but to buy it outright, since the company account is flush with money.”
“By all logic, that should have created an irreversible anchor point, right?
The night when I first established Rhein Company, the Second Dreamland turned into the Third Dreamland; but now, Brother Wang’s Tem Bank has already made it halfway, so why can’t I see the airship in the Fourth Dreamland?
What went wrong?”
“I still hold my previous thought, Lin Xian.”

VV’s voice was very calm:“[Perhaps, your dream…
strictly speaking, the Fourth Dreamland is not real, and it is highly likely that it has been tampered with by enemies, or to put it another way, they have preemptively built something like a virtual world studio, trapping you to make it hard for you to discern reality from fiction.]”
“They wouldn’t make this virtual world studio too fake, after all, you’re not foolish.
If it were too obviously fake, you would surely notice.
But something fake is, after all, fake, so they are afraid that you’ll detect some details that don’t add up; therefore, they set up scenarios where you are surrounded, electrocuted, and strapped to a chair, to limit your range and duration of activity.”
Lin Xian spread his hands:
“I haven’t denied this, which is why I am trying to verify it, right?
Tem Bank is the only point that can extend from now in 2024 all the way to 2624.
I need to find Tem Bank in the Fourth Dreamland, find the safe that bears my name, and only then can I proceed to the next plan.”
“According to what you’ve said before, can’t the enemies read my memory in the future?
If so, they would already know from my memory about Brother Wang setting up Tem Bank, and that I told Brother Wang to advertise in the city skyline with an airship every 100th anniversary celebration.”
“If they already know this, why wouldn’t they create it in the dreamland?
If, as you say, my memory is transparent and my dreams are false.”
“It’s simple,” VV said:
“Lin Xian, do you know what the batch of safes that Brother Wang has yet to finish looks like now?
Do you know what the Tem Bank logo font looks like?”
“I’ve seen it in the First Dreamland, the Second Dreamland,” Lin Xian answered.
“Back then, Brother Wang didn’t know you, and he didn’t have as much of your investment or your favor; now because of cause and effect, the predetermined path of the future has changed, and many possibilities have been altered.
Can you guarantee that the safes Brother Wang produces will be identical to the ones you’ve seen previously?
Will the LOGO details be the same?”
Lin Xian fell silent for a moment.
This was indeed a blind spot.
He nodded:
“You make a good point, but there is another thing I’ve been thinking—if my dream is a false simulation of the world 600 years later, then outside this virtual world, there must be a real world 600 years later, the world where those enemies live.”
“So!
Sooner or later, Brother Wang’s Tem Bank is going to open, even next month or the month after that, it will definitely open and continue to 600 years later.
Even if the enemies can’t find the design of the hafnium alloy safes from my memory, they should be able to find Tem Bank in the real world 600 years later, right?
The logo, the trademark, the design of the safes can all be directly copied into my dreamland, without needing to extract it from my memory.”
Alas…

The electronic alarm clock VV sighed:
“That’s why I said, there’s something off with your Fourth Dreamland, it’s not reasonable.”
“I’ve already told you, according to my understanding of the Space-Time Butterfly Effect, the airships of Tem Bank should have appeared in your Fourth Dreamland just like how Sky City appeared in the Third Dreamland; that’s what’s normal, that’s what conforms to space-time logic.”
“Your Fourth Dreamland is really very strange…
I suggest that after you capture the space-time particle this time, you quickly carry out that plan to verify the reality and fiction of the dream.
By then Brother Wang’s Tem Bank should also have been established, and just as well, we can also use the space-time particles to zero-calibrate Liu Feng’s ‘Space-Time Clock’.
While verifying the reality of the dream through Tem Bank, we can also use the Space-Time Clock to detect changes in space-time curvature, killing two birds with one stone.”
Lin Xian nodded his head.
That’s all he could do.
During the half-month since he had arrived at the Astronaut Secret Training Base, he would go to dream each night to meet that mysterious old man and to see if the Tem Bank airship appeared in the sky.
It never did.
Not even once.
Was there a problem with his Space-Time Law?
Or was there an issue with Brother Wang’s Tem Bank?
But as it stood…
Huang Que’s strict selection proved that there was nothing wrong with the Space-Time Law;
Brother Wang has settled things on his end; the opening of Tem Bank is a done deal.
It seems like all the inconsistencies point towards a deeply disturbing answer—
[My own dreams might be fake, a studio specifically crafted by the enemy for me.]
“I must find a way to break through this situation.”
Lin Xian said:
“VV, I still stand by my opinion, the Space-time Law is correct, and Space-Time Elasticity does exist.
The reason why Tem Bank hasn’t appeared is indeed because an irreversible space-time anchor point hasn’t formed yet.”
“The specific reasons and the criteria for judgment, I still can’t deduce right now.
But let’s wait, wait until the day when Brother Wang’s Tem Bank really opens for business in reality.
By then, the airship of Tem Bank should surely appear in the Fourth Dreamland, right?”
“When that happens…
I’ll find a way to carry out the next step of the plan, using that Hafnium Alloy Safe in Tem Bank that has my name on it.
I’ll place a piece of paper inside to completely verify the authenticity or falsehood of the dream!”
The intelligent electronic alarm clock VV thought for a while then said softly:
“Lin Xian, the evolution of these past few months has multiplied my intelligence and thinking by quite a bit.
Compared to when you just activated me, I am now much, much smarter.”
“But even so, using all my computing power, I still can’t understand how you plan to implement your plan, what kind of content you need to write on that little piece of paper that will meet the requirements you set—”
“[In a situation where your memory is completely transparent, and the enemy can open the safe before you and directly copy an identical fake for you to see…
you would still be able to understand the truth or falsehood of the Dream World the instant you see the contents of the paper.]”
“After combining these premises and reasoning through them billions of times, no matter what method I employ, the conclusion is always impossible!
Impossible to achieve!
It’s even a self-contradictory paradox, a gamble bound to lose.”
“Unless…”
VV paused and emitted a helpless chuckle:
“Unless a true miracle happens.”
Thud, thud.
Suddenly!
Knocking sounds interrupted the stillness of the early morning!
Lin Xian abruptly turned his head, looking at the voice-activated light that turned on outside the dormitory door:
“Who is it?”
“Lin…
Senior Lin Xian, are you still awake?”
Chu Anqing’s cautious voice came from outside:
“I just passed by the door and heard you on the phone…”
The electronic alarm clock’s display jumped to show an 0_0 expression.
“Oh.”
Lin Xian replied to the person outside:
“I’m a bit insomniac tonight, couldn’t sleep, so I chatted with a friend from the East Sea over voice chat.”
No sooner had he spoken than the phone on the desk lit up!
Imitating his voice, it played a sentence at maximum volume:
“[Do you want to come in and chat?]”
“Damn it!” Lin Xian quickly threw the phone under the covers to muffle it, swearing softly:
“VV, what the hell!”
“Eh!?”
Outside, Chu Anqing obviously got flustered by the voice that sounded real yet deceptive:
“Can…
Can I?”
Click!
The fingerprint lock on the dormitory door sprang open!
Light from the corridor’s voice-controlled lamps seeped through the crack of the door, gradually widening…
