As long as he could find one from 1-266, it could be matched with the safes in Tem Bank in the year 2024.
Things would be easy from there.
Just swap out the rice cooker with the safe.
He would go to exchange it tomorrow morning, and by tomorrow night, he could come here with CC to open it.
“No problem.”
Angelica agreed readily,
“Just wait for me to change my clothes.”
With that, she turned and walked into the changing room next door.
After a little while,
Elderly Angelica, dressed to the nines, led Lin Xian and CC down the stairs and towards a warehouse-like building not far away.
Lin Xian, holding a glass oil lamp, followed beside Angelica,
“Everyone in the village says that you opened several Hafnium Alloy Safes, and that’s how you acquired weapons and great strength, which allowed you to establish Queenstown.”
“Hehe.”

Angelica laughed lightly,“That’s just a cover story I released to mislead people.
Think about it, how could a safe like a Space-Time Capsule possibly contain weapons, great strength, engineering books, and such?”
“Indeed, I have opened a few safes after many years, but all that was inside were boring things.
Diaries, mementos, a whole mess of things…
with not a single useful item, nearly all trash.”
“So after the exhaustive search, I left them all in the warehouse, completely neglected.
As for why the story I put out claims we obtained weapons and strength from the safes…
Clearly, it’s to hide my Martian identity and not expose my origins.”
“Although Jask said Earth is absolutely safe, how can there be any absolute when it comes to safety?
It’s better to have less trouble.
The growth of Queenstown relies on the few academic books Jask gave me initially, and even within Queenstown, only I know the truth.”
“Here we are, this is the warehouse.”
Angelica had the guards open the door, then led Lin Xian and CC inside.
Due to the level of construction, the warehouse wasn’t very large, just slightly bigger than a normal house.
Eight safes were stacked against the wall, covered in spiderwebs and dust; six safes were already opened, placed against another wall, stuffed full of clutter.
Lin Xian first glanced at the six open safes.
Big deal…
Their numbers were all above 1000, worthless.
Then he looked at the eight that were not opened.
Their numbers were also hefty, ranging from 400 to over 1000, not a single one below 400.
Including the one unearthed from the ground and the one from Lian Village, none were numbered below 400.
What was going on?
Could it be…
that Tem Bank opened another branch to expand their business and warehouse?
Upon thinking,
It was indeed possible!
The place where Brother Wang is now running Tem Bank, the location is really good, right in the center of the commercial district, very bustling.
But it is also incredibly valuable land, so fitting 266 safes in the warehouse means it’s already full.
If they wanted to add more safes and expand the warehouse,
They would either have to buy the houses next door, or choose another location to open a branch and store the additional safes.
If this were the case…

Then around here should be the ruins of a Tem Bank branch, and that’s why the safes unearthed here have such high numbers.
“Lin Xian!
Look fast!”
CC squatted down, pointing to a safe in the corner of the wall, wiping the nameplate clean with a coarse cloth next to it—
Number: 724
Name: Wei Shengjin
“Mr.
Wei’s safe!”
Lin Xian was surprised by this discovery.
He had only been focusing on the hundreds digit of these safes without looking closely, not expecting…
to unexpectedly find Mr.
Wei Shengjin’s safe here!
Lin Xian stepped forward.
Took a closer look.
No doubt…
it was unmistakably Wei Shengjin!
Having seen the photos in Mr.
Wei’s backpack, he naturally knew the safe’s combination.
He put his hand to it directly.
Twisting the crisp combination dial, he set the eight wheels to match the numbers in the photo—
23730907
This was the combination set by Mr.
Wei Shengjin before he went into hibernation, and he himself didn’t know the significance of this number.
Lin Xian’s hand reached for the latch, ready to press down…
But it paused in mid-air.
Feeling the weight of years, memories, and self-awareness.
After thinking it over,
He retracted his finger, looked at CC and Angelica,
“After all, Mr.
Wei is just outside the fence, so let’s let him open this safe himself, it will be more meaningful for him that way.”
A queen is a queen, her authority is absolute.
Angelica commanded and batches of strong horses raced off, the city gates opened, and Mr.
Wei Shengjin was escorted on horseback into the city with all due respect.
Upon arriving at the warehouse,
Seeing the white-haired queen, Lin Xian, CC, Mr.
Wei was pleasantly surprised:
“You two…
you both?”
He didn’t know if he should talk more, he truly was shocked, Lin Xian and CC had managed to gain favor with Queenstown so easily!
“Come on, Mr.
Wei, don’t just stand there.”
Lin Xian waved with a smile, beckoning Mr.
Wei to come over, pointing at the Hafnium Alloy Safe in front of them,
“Look, isn’t this the safe you’ve been desperately searching for?”
Wei Shengjin’s eyes widened.
He knelt on the ground, continuously touching and wiping the Hafnium Alloy Safe that bore his name.
Still so shiny and bright, without any trace of the years.
