Wei Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
The team’s cohesion was excellent, like a well-oiled machine working in unison, which he found very comforting.
…
In the following days, it was the same relentless routine of train, train, train.
As the space-time particles drew nearer to Earth and time became increasingly pressing, everyone conscientiously put in extra hours of training.
Even without anyone pushing them, their self-expectations were high.
Lin Xian was no exception.
He and Chu Anqing brought out the momentum they had during their college entrance exams; as long as learning didn’t kill them, they would push themselves to the limit.
Every night, Lin Xian would still venture into his dreams, watching the dozen or so glowing airships suspended in the sky, staring at the advertisements for Tem Bank’s 600th anniversary.
What’s called ‘so close yet so far away’…
It was like him, surrounded by dozens of soldiers, being only a few hundred meters in a straight line from the balloon airships in the sky.
Damn it all.
When will he be able to take down Kevin Walker in reality?

He had been stuck in the Fourth Dreamland for a long time now, with Tem Bank right before his eyes, yet unable to attempt opening the safe to verify.
This feeling was horrible.
It was like the carrot dangling in front of a donkey’s head, always just out of reach, forever unattainable.
Additionally, there was another issue that vexed Lin Xian deeply.
[The note which, when placed in the safe, could deceive the entire world, fool everyone, and instantly make him realize and acknowledge the reality of the dream…
What exactly should he write on it?]
Lin Xian admitted that he had shown off a bit too much in front of VV.
He had thought up many schemes, but none could meet such stringent conditions.
Theoretically, if the enemy couldn’t read his memory,
it would only take a little over three years to crack the hafnium alloy safe using brute force.
Perhaps those adversaries who crafted fake dreamscapes, virtual worlds, and sound stages…
already knew the safe’s code, its contents, and the words written on the note.
After all, to him, even if he set the safe’s password a minute before and then entered the dream a minute later—which seemed rather quick—
for the enemies…
that one minute was like 600 years.
If they indeed had the capability and patience to construct such an authentic virtual world studio, then cracking a safe code over the span of 600 years would surely be trivial for them, wouldn’t it?
600 years…
With such a vast span of time, this battle was indeed incredibly challenging.
But.
He must fight!
He must find a way to win!
“So…”
Tonight, an exhausted Lin Xian lay in bed, yawning tiredly, his mind equally weary:
“What exactly should I write on that note…
After all, only words can express the most comprehensive, most cryptic, and most direct yet convoluted meanings, making them the most suitable carriers for passwords and ciphers.”
He yawned again.
Preparing to go to sleep.
“Ah?” VV, using the electronic alarm clock face, 0_0, watched Lin Xian:
“You’re going to sleep?”
“Yeah.” Lin Xian rolled over:
“What’s up?”
“It’s not even midnight!
What are you sleeping for?
Get up and let’s party!” VV shouted, starting to play “Super Cool” on the TV in the room.
That feel~ Super cool!
𝑛𝗈𝘃𝕘𝘰.co
Super cool!
Cool cool cool cool!!
VV started singing along.
“No, are you crazy?”
Lin Xian frowned at VV:
“What’s gotten into you today?”
“Come on, sleep a little later!
Stay up and play with me a bit longer!” The electronic alarm clock cooed with a snicker:
“How about this, I’ll tell you a bedtime ghost story!
Once upon a time, there was a corpse…”
“No, what good does scaring me do for you?”
Lin Xian was suspicious, watching this clearly abnormal super-intelligence:
“What’s really going on?
Speak up.”
“Xi shua shua xi shua shua!
Xi shua shua!” VV wailed like a banshee.
“Stop singing.”
“I’m sorry for being human…”
“And don’t go emo on me!”
“Lin Xian, Lin Xian, I want Disney!”
“Are you ever going to stop?”
Lin Xian was speechless, sitting up in bed:
“Seriously, what do you want?
I’m really tired today.”
” Oh, just wait a bit longer!
Stay up and play with me a little more!” VV was persistent.
Ding dong~
Suddenly, a message notification chimed on the phone.
The electronic alarm clock VV wore an expression of ^o^, then immediately went dark, reverting to a standard time display.
“What is this…”
Lin Xian muttered and picked up his phone.
To his surprise, it was a WeChat message from Chu Anqing:
“Senior, are you asleep?”
Lin Xian replied using the T9 keyboard:
“Not yet.”
“Hehe~ Could you please come to the training room?” Following that, Chu Anqing sent a sticker of a kitten bowing its head.
Lin Xian squinted his eyes…
Something was fishy!
It was obviously VV’s doing.
If he didn’t go, VV would likely continue to make a racket here and diss him with dance music.
Considering he had spent the whole day with Chu Anqing under Coach Wei Cheng’s guidance practicing equipment operation,
was he supposed to put in extra practice now?
Without changing into pajamas, he just threw on a space cotton jacket, then opened the door and headed towards the training room.
From quite a distance, he saw that the lights were off in the training room, no brightness within.
?
Chu Anqing wasn’t there?
He walked into the pitch-black center of the training room, looking around:
“An Qing?”
Whoosh——————
The lights in the training room suddenly blazed on!
“Ta-da~~”
From the light switch, Chu Anqing leapt out!
Lin Xian turned towards her, and what suddenly appeared before his eyes was not just Chu Anqing’s smiling face with crescent moons and dimples.
There was also…
…a round little cake she was holding up high.
She giggled and held the small cake aloft:
