“I actually don’t even know what I’m searching for, but I believe the person who told me the location of the safe…
he wouldn’t deceive me.
Since he said it contains all the truth and all the meaning…
no matter what’s hidden inside, I must take a look.”
Wei Shengjin remembered and was still somewhat surprised:
“But you don’t know the password, do you?
Even if you find it, can you open it?”
“I’m not sure.”
CC shook his head:
“But I must try, perhaps…
this is the meaning of my life, the reason for my existence.”
Uncle Wei Shengjin was gobsmacked.
Silence fell for a moment.

His expression finally eased and he gave CC a thumbs up:
“Young people are to be feared, I wish that you may also fulfill your wish.”
The two of them talked.
Meanwhile, Lin Xian wasn’t idle either.
He kept changing angles, waiting for the right moment to check on Ah Zhuang and San Pang’s progress in exhausting the password.
Excellent.
He could see it clearly.
There were eight password wheels in total, and the first four digits were all 0’s!
At that moment, Ah Zhuang was dragging up the last password wheel, one by one, with each drag pushing down the lock button, an endless loop.
00005232,
00005231,
00005230…
They were indeed trying an exhaustive search in reverse order!
Starting from 99999999 and trying one digit at a time.
“Ah…”
Lin Xian sighed and couldn’t help but laugh out loud, unsure of what expression to show:
“It’s just, the people of Lian Village are not so lucky.
If they had chosen to start from 00000000 and work their way up, they might have found the correct password in just a few days.”
“Instead, they chose to go backwards, wasting several years, even over a decade of time.”
Lin Xian had already learned this lesson once.
Manually exhausting the attempts to break Zhang Yuqian’s password diary was a waste of time because he started from 9999 and went in reverse.
So much so that Lin Xian decided from then on, if he ever had to resort to an exhaustive search to break a password, he would start from 0000!
Speaking of Zhang Yuqian…
Lin Xian thought of her diary’s password, 1952.
It seemed unrelated and meaningless to Zhang Yuqian, just a four-digit number.
Going by the years.
There weren’t any significant events that year.
The only thing that mattered to Lin Xian was that the realistic painter Henry Dawson in Brooklyn, Mi Country, painted 8 “The Sorrowful Einstein” portraits.
That was the only clue.
Oh, not the only one.
There was a second clue, which was that 1952 was also the year when the Millennium Stakes disappeared, a year locked in history.
He brought out three things from Zhang Yuqian’s coffin.
A password diary, a photo album, and a videotape.
He had already looked through the diary and the photo album, nothing valuable or noteworthy.
He hadn’t watched the videotape yet.
Because over at Gao Yang’s place, they still hadn’t found a suitable player, the tape was too old, and they were looking for an ancient, functioning VCR.
Only he had just taken over as the 4S shop manager and was quite busy with his day job, so the progress in that area was indeed a bit slow.
Lin Xian was very curious and wanted to see…
What exactly was recorded on that videotape, placed inside Zhang Yuqian’s coffin.
“Lin Xian, look over there, Er Zhuzi is patrolling.”
CC’s voice interrupted Lin Xian’s train of thought.
Lin Xian turned the telescope in the direction and looked towards the entrance of Lian Village.
Whoosh!
Er Zhuzi’s gaze was sharp as a hawk’s, and his piercing eyes made contact with Lin Xian’s through the telescope!
“Damn.”
That sharp gaze really startled Lin Xian.
It couldn’t be, could it?
They were hundreds of meters away; did Er Zhuzi have eagle eyes to see through their hiding?
As it turned out, it was indeed an overthought.
Er Zhuzi’s laser-like gaze quickly swept over the hill and continued to maintain the peace of Lian Village.
“This Er Zhuzi really has something.”
Lin Xian whispered:
“You’re not wrong, CC, if we approach rashly, we’re most likely to be discovered by Er Zhuzi.”
He continued to observe Er Zhuzi carefully with the telescope.
Dressed in clothes sewn from animal hides, wearing a green cloth sun hat.
Quite tasteful.
Still as unique and distinguished as ever, standing out from the crowd.
Still as thin, as tall, just like a bamboo pole.
And in his right hand, he held a red-tasseled spear, as straight as he was, a perfect match with the spear.
Lin Xian observed the layout of Lian Village as well.
There were roughly fifty to sixty families, not even a hundred houses, and the architectural style was a bit more rugged, looking like a villain’s hideout.
The level of technological development wasn’t much different from Rhein Village; not much stronger either, just that their animal husbandry and hunting seemed to be more developed, and their physical equipment was somewhat more advanced than Rhein Village.
Perhaps it was a matter of development philosophy.
Under the leadership of Zheng Xiangyue, Rhein Village mainly developed agriculture, textiles, handicrafts, and construction.
Lian Village, on the other hand, was more pragmatic, focusing on utilitarianism.
After looking around, Lin Xian couldn’t spot the Village Chief Big Face Cat; probably holed up in some house.
“What do the people of Lian Village usually do?”
Lin Xian put down the telescope and asked curiously:
“Raid and plunder?
𝘯𝗈𝘷𝘨𝘰.co
Or engage in villainy?”
“Not at all.”
CC shook their head:
“You might have some misconceptions about Lian Village because of my incident; actually, they are generally alright.
Granny Village Chief said, the people in their village are a bit wild and ferocious, but they’re not inherently bad.”
“Mainly because these villages are so far apart, and now, relative to the population on Earth, resources are extremely bountiful; there’s no need to fight over anything.
Food, land, crops, fruits…
they’re literally everywhere; every village has such thriving forests, so none of them go hungry.”
