Chapter 739: Chapter 3 Space-Time Coordinates_5 Chapter 739: Chapter 3 Space-Time Coordinates_5 “Of course, I know, I quite like the novels he writes.”
Jask looked toward Lin Xian:
“Moreover, the money Lin Xian used to buy Zheng Xiangyue a ticket to fly to the Moon was from Ji Lin’s inheritance check, so of course, I know this novelist.
It’s just…
I really have no idea who killed his parents.”
“If I knew, I would certainly have told you.
I’m not sure if it was Copernicus, but don’t you think…
shouldn’t you suspect Copernicus first?
He has killed many scientists.
Perhaps that includes the parents of Ji Lin as you mentioned?”
“[Copernicus said you were the one who killed them.]” Angelica snorted softly:
“He explicitly said, the mastermind behind the gunmen who killed Ji Lin’s parents, was you, Jask.”
Jask couldn’t help but laugh:
“Even now, you still believe Copernicus’s nonsense?

I think I understand…
why my space-time particles were ultimately stolen by Copernicus.
Maybe the problem lies with you, Angelica.
Once the seed of doubt is planted, it’s bound to take root and grow, and then when you’re desperate, it becomes the only straw you can cling to.”
“Copernicus’s purpose in toying with people’s hearts lies right here.
He knows you won’t believe what he says, but he just forcibly plants a seed of doubt in you…
Falling into a self-proving trap is a troublesome thing, just like the misunderstanding between me and Lin Xian, really hard to explain clearly.”
“However, I have fulfilled my promise, telling you everything I know about Copernicus, so our deal is complete.
So…
let me be frank, Angelica, I really hope not to have any trouble from a revenge-driven you again.
My life is precious, and I have many important things to do.”
“I now consider you a friend, and the misunderstanding between Lin Xian and me has already been settled, so if there’s anything, we can discuss it nicely.
Don’t take the aggressive approach you used before.
After all…
whether or not you believe in my innocence, I am not your enemy.”
Angelica was silent for a while.
She took out a cigarette case from her pocket.
And found…
only one cigarette was left inside.
She pulled out that one, threw the cigarette case carelessly on the ground, clamped it between her lips, lit it with a lighter, took a deep breath in, and a long breath out:
“Phew…”
A large cloud of smoke exhaled, she turned her head toward Lin Xian:
“Looks like, Lin Xian, you’re the only one I can count on now.”
“Don’t worry.”
Lin Xian nodded:
“What I promised you, I’ll stick to my word and get it done.”
Jask glanced between the two people.
Considering Angelica’s revenge was so strong and straightforward, it was not hard to guess what Lin Xian had promised her.
“Uh…
there’s something I’m quite curious about.”
Jask snapped his fingers and pointed at Lin Xian:
“I know you want to join the Genius Club, so how far have you got now?”
“Space-time coordinates.” Lin Xian replied truthfully.
“Oh~~~”
Jask made an ‘I understand’ expression:
“Then you’re progressing fast, huh?
Since you’ve got the invitation, the next three questions are just bonus points.
I guess we’ll soon meet at the Genius Club.”
?
Jask’s words made Lin Xian’s heart ache, unable to reply.
It seems that his previous guess was correct—
[The invitation in his hand was likely obtained illegitimately, with suspicions of cheating.]
Both Huang Que and Jask had said that as long as one could get the invitation, no one ever failed the test on the three questions.
Jask even said casually and with easy confidence, since the invitation had been obtained, the next three questions were just bonus points.
But…
Why didn’t he feel the same?
He thought the way he received the invitation was thrilling, but the difficulty was far from great; it was merely a matter of looking in the mirror more.
This process did not involve answers to the three questions, nor could it help him understand the meaning of space-time coordinates.
“`
At least it hasn’t come down to a giveaway question, right?
So.
Lin Xian once again reaffirmed his own conjecture:
“If one normally obtains an invitation to the Genius Club, it must be a very complicated, very difficult, and very elusive process; and during this process, it would already be possible to deduce the answers to the three questions.”
After all, once the invitations are sent out, they surely can’t be taken back, can they?
The golden badge has already been given to oneself, and those three questions seem more like a confirmation password, a password to ensure it is the actual person carrying out the operation.
However, at this point, he could only swallow the bitter pill in silence.
Lin Xian did not plan to tell Jask how he obtained the invitation to the Genius Club…
let him continue to play the “know-it-all.”
What exactly is the Genius Club,
who exactly are its members,
who is the boss of the club,
and what are these geniuses aiming to do in the end?
Lin Xian.
In the end, he must listen to Huang Que’s advice and join himself, to see with his own eyes and get to the bottom of it.
“Cherish this peaceful time, Lin Xian,”
Jask suddenly said:
“Professor Xu Yun’s Hibernation Pod Filling Liquid has truly changed the world, turning the entire course of history upside down both overtly and covertly.”
“You may not feel it…
but I am very clear that Professor Xu Yun’s research findings could only have emerged in this era, to eventually lead to the development of the Hibernation Pod.
If the Hibernation Pod Filling Liquid had been proposed a hundred years later, three hundred years later, or even five hundred years later…
it certainly would have made no splash in the world.”
“Why?” Lin Xian asked curiously:
“Why are you so sure?”
He found it strange that Jask could so perfectly predict the future.
𝕟𝗈𝘃𝘨𝘰.co
As he said.
Dr.
Mikerson’s Hibernation Pod Filling Liquid, invented 400 years later, caused no stir, not even a ripple.
Academician Gao Wen’s Hibernation Pod Filling Liquid, invented 200 years later, also faded away without much ado, without further development.
On the contrary, it was Professor Xu Yun who published a paper on Hibernation Pod Filling Liquid in 2022, and in less than two years…
the technology was mature, side-effect free Hibernation Pods were about to be mass-produced!
In three different eras, the same product’s paper publication had completely different impacts and subsequent developments.
Where does the issue lie?
Could it be…
that over time, the Genius Club becomes stronger and more domineering, powerful enough to manipulate history, the world, technology, development, and everything?
At present, Lin Xian could only think of this answer.
However…
Jask just smiled meaningfully and shook his head:
“The answer to this question will naturally become clear to you after you truly join the Genius Club.”
“All I can say is…
cherish this time well, it’s the calm before the real storm…
When the Hibernation Pod technology is truly mature and put into use, the whole world will face an unstoppable great change.”
“Currently, Kevin Walker has died; the digital life Turing will not change sides, at least for a short while, ensuring its fairness and justice; Copernicus’ century-long plan has been destroyed, and his body cannot withstand any more torment, I suspect he is going to sleep in a Hibernation Pod and head to the future.”
“The time henceforth will inevitably be calm, smooth-sailing, without even the undercurrents of surging waves…
truly peaceful.”
“So for you, this is also a rare developmental opportunity.
I look forward to the moment when you truly stand on your own and become a qualified and excellent genius.”
With that,
he left the two of them with his back, waved his hand, and walked towards that Tesla:
“Goodbye, Lin Xian…”
“I’ll be waiting for you in the Genius Club!”
