Chapter 893
Chapter 893: Chapter 33 The End of the World_4 Chapter 893: Chapter 33 The End of the World_4 These days, he had been continuously memorizing and copying the “Principles and Applications of Miniature Nuclear Batteries” manuscript taught by Wei Shengjin.
The old ginger is still spicier.
Having a mentor to guide and exchange ideas with made memorization and summarization much more efficient, increasing the speed several times over.
Finally.
Today he finished memorizing the last page of the manuscript.
After waking from his dream tonight, he would transcribe the memorized content onto paper…
A complete manuscript of “Principles and Applications of Miniature Nuclear Batteries” was successfully transported from 600 years in The Future World to 2024, 600 years earlier.
In order to trigger the Temporal Flux as soon as possible and to reap the practical benefits from the miniature nuclear battery.

He had already planned everything.
Planning to collaborate with China Science Academy to jointly develop and research this groundbreaking product.
There was no other option.
Right now, his Rhein Company’s laboratory was just beginning construction, and he had not found suitable scientists and researchers; collaboration with the Dragon Science Academy seemed much easier.
Dean Gao Yan was a good person and easy to deal with, plus the favors from before, Gao Yan would definitely be willing to lend him the personnel and equipment.

The patent and profits of the miniature nuclear battery would certainly be in his hands, as this invention was pivotal for making Rhein Company powerful, wealthy, and a reliable reserve force.
This was the first step in his plan to build his power.
But first, having enough money was essential.
He could imagine that every member of the Genius Club surely had their own forces; people like Kevin Walker, who worked alone, were probably rare…or even unique.
The consequences for such individuals were clear.
It’s hard to fight alone against many.
If Kevin Walker had the financial power and status of Jask, or the capability of Copernicus to manipulate Ji Xinshui and Seven Sins at the tips of his fingers, his death would not have been so simple.
“If I think about developing power only after joining the Genius Club, it would definitely already be too late, just like learning to swim only after falling into the water, it’s not advisable to mend the fold after the sheep have scattered.”
Lin Xian closed his eyes.
He closed the notebook in front of him.
Once the groundbreaking miniature nuclear battery was presented, the butterfly wings of temporal change would inevitably stir up millions of tornadoes, turning The Future World upside down.
The extreme disaster of 2400 might still happen…
Because he had not found the root cause of the great disaster, nor could he change it.
But in a world buried with countless miniature nuclear batteries as an inexhaustible source of energy, would the post-disaster Earth still remain as backward as it is now?
Would Rhein Village, Lian Village, and Queenstown still exist?
Would Wei Shengjin, Zheng Xiangyue, and Angelica ever meet again?
Lin Xian was not sure.
But this was something he had to do.
He had to let the Space-Time Clock’s values change again to understand the pattern of space-time coordinates and answer the first test question of the Genius Club.
“This should be the last dream of The Fifth Dreamland.”
Lin Xian murmured softly.
CC, who was sitting on the stone bed behind him, lifted her head upon hearing this.
Wei Shengjin had happily gone out to attend a bonfire dance party right after completing the last page of the manuscript for Lin Xian.
It was already the early hours of the morning, but the drumming, singing, and shouting outside remained lively.
This was also Big Face Cat’s doing.
He had purposely delayed the welcoming party for two hours so Lin Xian, CC, and Wei Shengjin could also participate.
This was a kind of butterfly effect.
Previously, when only he and CC joined Lian Village, Big Face Cat wouldn’t delay the welcome party for the two of them.
But now, with three people, it was taken seriously.
Outside, the bonfire soared into the sky, and the villagers of Lian Village were dancing and singing around the fiery blaze, with Wei Shengjin already blending into the environment, dancing and singing loudly.
“The next time we meet…
it won’t be here, right?”
CC hugged her legs, looking at Lin Xian,
“Since you said it’s the last time, what the next world will be like, whether we can meet again, it’s all uncertain.”
“Yes.”
Lin Xian nodded,
“But there’s also some good news.”
He looked at CC,
“Each change in the new world means a permanent addition of a memory fragment in your mind, and it’s highly likely to be about the events of today.”
“We have already repeated this day many times, we’ve met Zheng Xiangyue in Rhein Village, danced in Lian Village, and opened Wei Shengjin’s safe in Queenstown.”
“But you don’t remember any of this; you forget and then start anew each day.
You yourself have once told me…”
“‘When we meet tomorrow, when we meet later…
will I still have forgotten the dance steps I just learned, starting everything from scratch?’”
“That’s what you said, but you must have forgotten.”
CC nodded.
Indeed, she had no recollection at all.
But Lin Xian remembered.
He remembered every time.
He also remembered how happy CC was when she learned the dance steps.
She really liked dancing.
Even when he said she would forget everything tomorrow, she smiled sadly and said,
“I’ll try to remember.”
But.
Trying was futile.
In the face of infinite loops, no matter how hard one tries, they can’t remember.
Unless…
Lin Xian stood up from the wooden chair.
He walked to the door of the house, looking at the burning bonfire outside, and the crowd dancing around.
He turned his head to look at CC,
“Shall we dance?”
CC lifted her head:
“But I don’t know how.”
“I can teach you.”
Lin Xian smiled and said,
“Today, the last true day in this world, is the best time to learn to dance.”
“If by chance it is stored in the memory fragments…
that memory lasts a lifetime, you will never forget how to dance.”
CC sorted out her thoughts in her mind and chuckled softly,
“Then I really must trouble you for teaching me so many times.”
“It’s not that many times.”
Lin Xian said truthfully,
“This is only the second time anyway.”
He glanced at his watch and reached out to CC,
“Come, let’s dance at ‘the end of the world.’”
…
The drums made of animal hide beat intensely.
The tree branches turned into glowing embers cracked and popped.
The villagers around, their faces flushed, howled and sang ancient ballads.
Gathered around the bonfire.
CC, with her full coordination skills, quickly learned the dance steps of Lian Village, holding Lin Xian’s hand, stepping back and forth, becoming more skilled with each loop.
“You really have a gift.”
Lin Xian felt somewhat moved,
“You are always good at dancing.”
CC tilted her head,
“Didn’t you say this is only our second time dancing?”
Lin Xian thought about Chu Anqing.
It wasn’t good to say how many times it has been.
Even as he reminded himself that CC is CC, and Chu Anqing is Chu Anqing, two completely different girls,
after all they looked exactly alike, a carbon copy of each other.
Sometimes, it was impossible not to confuse them in his senses and thoughts.
CC glanced at the electronic watch on Lin Xian’s wrist.
The time displayed…
00:41
“It’s about to end.”
She said softly.
“The dance?” Lin Xian looked around at the still intense drumming.
“No.”
CC shook her head,
“It’s this world that’s about to end.”
She stopped dancing and stood still.
Letting go of Lin Xian’s hand.
Stepped back…
Between them was the bonfire, and what seemed like thousands, millions, billions of unknown worlds.
At this moment,
time seemed to slow down.
Those singing crowds and dancing men and women all became background boards for time and history.
“You once told me something.”
CC looked at Lin Xian,
“It was in the memory fragments, probably also meant for this occasion.”
“I think…
it’s better to return it to you now.”
She smiled.
A smile just like Chu Anqing’s.
Her crescent eyes enchanting and cute, the dimples at the corners of her mouth flickering in and out:
“Thank you for teaching me to dance.”
“If there is a next time we meet, I will ask you to dance first.”
“But if we never see each other again…”
She waved at Lin Xian, smiled with her eyes open,
“Then I’ll just wish you good morning, good afternoon…”
“Good night.”
Boom!!!!!
Boom!!!!!
Boom!!!!!
A white light that obliterates everything arrived on time, fixing CC’s smiling face, which then paled, disappearing from view.
…
…
…
In a corner of the bedroom, Lin Xian opened his eyes.
He sat up.
Looking at the electronic alarm clock on the bedside table—
00:42
Just like when Chu Anqing turned into blue stardust and vanished…
“Good night.”
