Chapter 449: Chapter 67: Jask’s Observation Tower (12K Monthly Ticket Bonus Chapter)_2 Chapter 449: Chapter 67: Jask’s Observation Tower (12K Monthly Ticket Bonus Chapter)_2 Chu Anqing blinked her eyes and asked again:
“Senior Lin Xian, is this thing really that important to you?”
…
Lin Xian held the water glass in his hand.
He twirled it around twice.
He nodded:
“Very important.”
He said with a smile:
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t be going to space to find it, even though Teacher Liu Feng has narrowed down the altitude range at which the space-time particles pass by Earth to 10 kilometers to 100 kilometers.
Theoretically, a height less than 100 kilometers, below the Kármán line, can’t be considered outer space.
But in reality, for us, there’s not much difference…
There’s still a certain degree of danger.”
Danger.
It was multifaceted.

Lin Xian was well aware of that himself.
The whisper of Kevin Walker in his ear…
The “see you in the sky” message Jask had left for him…
And the unusual calm of the past period…
Everything.
Made Lin Xian feel an intense unease inside.
He would actually feel more at ease facing a few people who openly challenged him.
It was the uncertainty, the unknown objectives and methods, and even the unknown locations, that really made Lin Xian unable to relax.
At any given moment, these people could suddenly appear and catch him off guard.
Over these past few days.
VV had been monitoring Jask.
According to VV, Jask was very carefree, not considering the risks of being watched at all, living a life of ease like a playboy.
Of course, when this man got down to work, he was truly a workaholic, sometimes working all night in the office, or inspecting the lab, earnestly gaining professional knowledge.
[Flawless]
That was VV’s assessment of Jask.
Truly flawless.
If it weren’t for the seal he had pressed into Lin Xian’s palm, bearing the imprint of the Genius Club, Lin Xian and VV wouldn’t have suspected him of being a member of the Genius Club at all.
“Lin Xian, the more he acts like this, the more I suspect him,” VV analysed.
“You may not sense that feeling…
I think, [Jask is intentionally showing us this, and maybe not just us.
As the world’s richest man, he is just too high-profile, too flamboyant, afraid that others won’t know what he’s doing every moment.]”
“Surveillance is the same, completely unencrypted, unguarded, just letting others watch openly.
I believe…
there’s actually no need for a super artificial intelligence like me; any hacker with an ulterior motive could easily monitor him 24 hours a day.”
At that moment, upon hearing VV’s words, Lin Xian couldn’t help but laugh out loud:
“There’s no need for a hacker, just follow his Twitter.
He even posts intimate cosplay photos of his superstar girlfriend for everyone to see, and he actively responds to messages from netizens.
So, just by following his Twitter account, you can pretty much guess his daily schedule.
This person is truly an oddity.”
“But there are places where surveillance doesn’t reach,” VV, ever meticulous, continued.
“Apart from private places like toilets and bathrooms…
Jask’s favorite place to go is the Scenic Iron Tower at the Starship Rocket Launch Center.”
“That tower doesn’t really serve any special purpose; it was built by Jask to watch rocket launches, probably his personal VIP viewing spot.
The structure of the tower is very simple, built of a bunch of steel frameworks, with an observation room on top.”
“When Jask goes up that tower, I can’t monitor him at all.
Because there are no power lines or electronic devices on it.
And Jask often forgets to bring his phone…
It’s a bad habit of his, at least as far as I’m concerned.”
Without a doubt.
There was definitely something wrong with that Jask.
Lin Xian was sure of it.
On one hand, he was openly showing his privacy to everyone; on the other hand, he frequently visited a steel observation tower without any power lines and electronic devices.
This was clearly suspicious.
“Keep monitoring,”
Lin Xian instructed VV:
“I hope he doesn’t come to cause trouble when we capture the space-time particles.”
…
This matter.
It was also a concern that Lin Xian had been harboring, the unknown dangers in this Skyspace Aircraft operation.
It was also the primary reason he didn’t want Chu Anqing to participate in this operation.
Coming back to his senses.
He drank a sip of water and, looking at Chu Anqing, continued:
“So, An Qing…
I suggest you go back to East Sea.
Isn’t the day after tomorrow New Year’s Eve?
Go home and spend the festival with your family.
We can handle things here.
Don’t look at Gao Yang as unreliable; that’s just because the time for him to demonstrate his talent hasn’t come yet.
He’s really good at playing games; he has been peerless since childhood in whatever game he plays…
I believe he will definitely be able to catch the space-time particle with the mechanical arm.”
“Leave things here to us.
You’re only 19; you shouldn’t be involved in such dangerous matters.
I believe your father will be very happy if you go back.”
However…

Chu Anqing shook her head firmly:
“Senior Lin Xian, do you remember what Teacher Liu Feng said to me the first time I went to your lab at East Sea University?”
“Teacher Liu Feng said, don’t easily deny your own value; it’s just that the time for you to play your role hasn’t come yet.”
“There’s definitely something in this world that is prepared just for you, that exists because of you, something that only you can do.”
“No one else but you.”
She blinked her eyes, clear and bright:
“[I feel, capturing the space-time particle is the most important thing in my life, the one thing I must do, that I was born for.]”
“Coach Wei Cheng also said, didn’t he?
He said I’m a natural-born astronaut, and actually, I was really pleased to hear such praise!
To tell the truth…
I’ve grown up amidst praise; whatever I do, there are always many, many people who praise me, including my father.”
