Genius Club.

Chapter 93 Boss (asking for monthly ticket)

On the way here, Lin Xian kept wondering, who is the boss that Big Face Cat mentioned?

He thought about countless possibilities.

But without exception, they are all positive characters and decent jobs.

after all……

The big-faced cat in this dream has become a kind and enthusiastic villager.

Although he still has a bad character, he is still respected and loved by everyone in the village. This can be seen from the villagers' attitude towards Big Face Cat.

There is no doubt that the big-faced cat has now become a partner of justice.

Well, you can imagine.

The boss that the Face Gang works for should also be a decent person.

Big Face Cat is a very simple and innocent person. He will never be a double agent who is both good and evil. His brain capacity is not enough.

but……

The smiling middle-aged man in front of him was none other than Li Cheng, the evil, wealthy enough to rival a country, and a scum of the world in the first dream!

Although the current Li Cheng has a righteous and upright demeanor, which is completely different from the nouveau riche temperament before, Li Cheng is Lin Xian’s old friend and old ATM in the first dream... Lin Xian will never mistake this face, this person is 100% Li Cheng!

In the first dream, whenever Lin Xian needed money, he would go to the villa where Li Cheng and his mistress were having an affair and steal money.

When you need to drive fast, you can go to the underground garage of this villa to drive a sports car, which has all kinds of luxurious and ferocious cars.

Anyway, Li Chengdu is quite cooperative every time.

Because this guy is afraid of death and is easy to communicate with. On the contrary, his mistress is very loyal and brave. She would stand up to save her husband many times and died under Lin Xian's gun.

Just a few days ago...

The last time Lin Xian explored the first dream, he and Big Face Cat had just robbed Li Cheng’s villa.

Not only did the two kill their mistresses, they also tried to force information about the Genius Club out of Li Cheng. In the end, Big Face Cat killed Li Cheng as well.

Now these two people were chatting with each other like hello, me, boss, etc. Lin Xian was really a little uncomfortable with it.

but……

Taking into account the changes in time and space, everyone's destiny will also change accordingly. It does not rule out the possibility that Li Cheng, like the Big Face Cat, will turn over a new leaf and become a partner of justice.

Even looking back over five thousand years of history.

There are also many such "heroes in troubled times and powerful men in prosperous times".

Facts have proved that Li Cheng is a very capable person. No matter whether it is a turbulent or prosperous era, he can always make a living and become the boss or the richest man.

"Hahahaha! You didn't expect that!"

The big-faced cat laughed:
"Hehe, my boss is the well-known Boss Li! This is actually my real job. A Zhuang, Er Zhuzi and I have been following Boss Li and working for him since we were young."

The big-faced cat spoke with great pride, and when he mentioned Li Cheng's name, there was respect and admiration in his eyes.

From this point of view, my guess is correct...

In this second dream, Li Cheng indeed became a good person and a respected person.

"Boss Li! This is my new little brother. He's very skilled! His name is Lin Xian!"

Big Face Cat pulled Lin Xian in front of Li Cheng and patted him on the back:
"Lin Xian, this is Boss Li."

"Hello, Boss Li." Lin Xian greeted with a smile.

This contrast... is really funny.

In the first dream, I always held a gun to Li Cheng’s head and watched him get so scared that he peed his pants and knelt down to beg for mercy.

It is true that things change over time. Don't look down on the poor middle-aged people. Li Cheng has transformed himself and become Lin Xian's elder brother.

"Lin Xian..."

Li Cheng smiled and nodded, looking him up and down:
"What a handsome guy! He looks like he has read a lot of books. Big-faced cat, since you accepted him as your younger brother... I guess he must have other outstanding qualities, right?"

"Of course there is! I, Big Face Cat, am very good at judging people!"

He quickly pulled Lin Xian to the side of the courtyard wall and gestured up and down:

"Hurry, hurry, Lin Xian... quickly do a flip for Boss Li! A difficult one!"

"..."

Lin Xian was speechless.

With my amazing parkour skills, I am treated like a fool here all day long and can only do somersaults.

but……

In order to infiltrate gang activities and to find out the origin of the book "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant", a real man must be able to bend and stretch.

Lin Xian used the same trick again, grabbing the cracks between the bricks with his fingertips, and using his hands and feet to flip over the wall. Then he turned around and jumped back using the pillar, and once again jumped high to the balcony on the second floor next to him. Then he did another pull-up + somersault, and in just a few seconds, he was already standing on the roof of the third floor with ease!

"it is good!"

The big-faced cat clapped vigorously, showing great support, and looked at Li Cheng with a smile:

"How's it going, Boss Li? Is my little brother's skills good enough? What we need most right now is someone who can climb over the wall!"

Li Cheng also smiled and nodded in appreciation:

"He is indeed a skilled fighter... With his joining us, our operation will be even more powerful!"

Boom!
While the two were talking, Lin Xian had already jumped down from the roof, floor by floor, and landed safely.

Lin Xian heard their conversation clearly. Li Cheng suddenly changed from an uneducated upstart to the current image of "Old Donghai Du Yuesheng"... He was still somewhat uncomfortable with it.

"Then Boss Li, do you mean to approve Lin Xian's joining our operation?"

Big Face Cat was very happy to see that his younger brother was recognized by the boss so quickly.

Li Cheng patted Lin Xian on the shoulder and smiled:

"Lin Xian, you have to think carefully. Joining our action... will not bring much improvement to your life, nor will it bring you wealth and glory."

"What we do is actually no different from stealing. But... for the people of Old East Sea and for the world outside the high walls, someone has to do these things." "Everyone here is determined to die and is ready to sacrifice at any time. The impact we can bring is tiny... maybe we can only glimpse a little bit of [history], get a little bit of [knowledge] by chance, or even get nothing."

"The only thing that can support us to continue doing this is faith and hope. If... you have really thought it through and have such a realization, then..."

Li Cheng stretched out his right hand and looked at Lin Xian:

"Lin Xian, welcome to join our big family!"

……

Lin Xian held Li Cheng's hand without any hesitation.

It is not difficult to hear from Li Cheng's words that what they are doing is related to [history] and [knowledge].

Recalling what the big-faced cat said in the last dream -

"People like us don't even have the qualifications to know history..."

"History and knowledge are in their hands. If you want to read real history books, you have to go to New Donghai City, where there are plenty of bookstores and all kinds of high-tech gadgets."

By now.

It is not difficult to guess what Big Face Cat and Li Cheng did.

In fact, no matter what they are doing, Lin Xian doesn't care.

Anyway, everything can be repeated over and over again. For me, what danger is there in dreams?

The most urgent task is to find out the origin of the book "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant" as soon as possible and know who the original author is.

In this way, after leaving the dream, you can directly find him in the world of 2023 to discuss the cosmological constant 42.

Lin Xian looked at the big-faced cat:
"Brother Lian, can you tell me now where your father got the book "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant"?"

The big-faced cat nodded, pulled Lin Xian up to the roof of the third floor from the stairs outside the building, took out a telescope and handed it to Lin Xian.

Then he pointed to the huge steel city in the distance that looked like a black dragon, New Donghai City:
"You know, here in our world, there is no advanced technology, no useful knowledge, and no real history. Everything is controlled in new cities like New Donghai City."

"Are there other similar cities around the world?" Lin Xian asked:
"They are all surrounded by steel, isolated from the outside world, and have no communication at all?"

"That's for sure."

The big-faced cat glanced at Lin Xian with disdain:
"You're like a zombie crawling out of a grave. How come you don't know anything?"

"New Hangzhou City, New Imperial City, New Shenzhen City... These giant science fiction cities were built hundreds of years ago and slowly divided the world into two parts. Inside the steel wall, and outside the steel wall..."

"I don't know exactly how the world has developed to this point, because we don't have real history here, and we don't know everything that happened. Education, knowledge, science, technology... many things are gradually being lost."

"But fortunately, there are many great people like Boss Li in this world who are determined to change the world outside the wall—"

The big-faced cat stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction.

That was a corner under the huge steel wall of Xindonghai City...The big-faced cat signaled Lin Xian to observe with a telescope.

Lin Xian picked up the telescope and looked in that direction——

Under the guidance of Big-Faced Cat, he successfully found the target.

It was a garbage disposal plant built at the foot of a high steel wall... Compared with the steel wall that was more than 200 meters high and stretched for dozens of kilometers, the garbage disposal plant was as small as a sesame seed and was difficult to find.

But if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that... in fact, at the foot of the high steel walls, there are many similar garbage disposal plants.

They are similar in size and structure, with a large area for garbage storage, also surrounded by high walls. However, the walls are only a few meters high and the material does not appear to be steel.

On the other side of the garbage disposal plant, there are several huge incinerators that are emitting black smoke. Countless garbage falls into the incinerators with blue flames under the conveyor belt and burns to ashes...

"That looks like, a garbage disposal plant? Will the New Donghai City burn all of their residents' garbage?"

The big-faced cat nodded:

"Yeah, they don't even want us to pick up the trash."

He took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it, exhaled a puff of thick smoke, and looked at Lin Xian:

"And our mission..."

"It means sneaking into that [Garbage Treatment Plant No. 221] at night and stealing the useful things."

"Any book, newspaper, or even some tiny parts and toys...are all treasures that can be learned and used in our backward and poor place."

……

"I understand."

By now, Lin Xian has had a general understanding of Big-Faced Cat, Li Cheng, the world outside the wall, the poor and backward old East China Sea, and so on.

"So...Brother Face."

Lin Xian turned his head and looked at the big-faced cat:
"The book 'Introduction to the Cosmological Constant' in your father's hand was actually stolen from New Donghai City, right?"

"That's right." Big Face Cat bit the cigarette and said with a grin:
"But that book should have been stolen by Boss Li from the garbage disposal plant when he was young. I was still young at that time and I don't know the details."

"Are there any more in stock? Or was only one copy stolen?"

"It's hard to say. You can look for it in Boss Li's warehouse." Big-Faced Cat pointed to several connected warehouses nearby:

"Brother, this is the real benefit of joining our Face Gang! We work for Boss Li, so we can use the things stolen from the warehouse at will!"

"That warehouse over there is where Boss Li keeps his books. Over the years, with the efforts of several generations... we have also stolen a lot of books from the garbage disposal plant. If you want to find them, go look there!"

"Maybe... I can actually find an old copy of 'Introduction to the Cosmological Constant'."

Lin Xian nodded.

Prepare to go downstairs to the warehouse to find books.

"Wait a moment."

Big Face Cat pulled him back and pointed to another warehouse across the street:
"We need to go to that warehouse first."

"Why?" Lin Xian was confused.

The big-faced cat chuckled:
"Aren't you planning to join us tonight? Then as the first step..."

"You need to choose a [Mask] for yourself!"
