Did the world end today?

Chapter 229 Do you want a daughter?

Jin Xiaochuan didn't even pack his clothes or luggage before following the others down the apartment building.

Downstairs, Zhang Xi was already waiting after getting out of the car.

Upon seeing Jin Xiaochuan come out, her slightly tense expression instantly relaxed.

"Engineer Lin! Engineer Jiang!"

"Xiao Chuan!"

"How was the chat? Pretty good, huh?"

"very nice."

Lin Xu nodded.

"Thank you—the situation was actually more complicated than we had anticipated, and you did a very good job."

From Lin Xu's perspective, Zhang Xi is indeed a very qualified ideological and political education teacher.

What do you say?
What do political education teachers in universities usually do?

They either rush through the lessons without any real guidance, or they abuse their authority and fail students relentlessly. Even worse, some teachers will go so far as to promote Western ideas in class and boast about their own unorthodox, magazine-worthy overseas experiences.
Jin Xiaochuan is truly lucky to have met such a teacher.

Higher-dimensional channels can alter a person's cognition and amplify the weaknesses in human nature.

He has clearly been affected.

If Zhang Xi hadn't patiently communicated and guided him, he might already be in a state of utter confusion from which he couldn't extricate himself.

Let alone continuing research, whether they can even survive is a question.

Therefore, Lin Xu's gratitude was very sincere.

He shook hands with Zhang Xi, and before the other could exchange pleasantries, he continued:

“We’ll take him back to the research institute now to talk. Our colleagues in the administration department will handle the school’s affairs.”

"However, if there are any other issues within the school, I would appreciate it if you could help explain them briefly."

"What I mean is, try to avoid too much unnecessary speculation."

"I understand!"

Zhang Xi nodded quickly.

She waved goodbye to Jin Xiaochuan, who was still somewhat dazed. But just before getting into the car, he suddenly seemed to realize something and shouted at Zhang Xi:
"Thank you, Teacher Zhang!"

Afterwards, everyone boarded the vehicles, the convoy started moving, and headed straight for the coordination group office.

"Where are we going?"

Jin Xiaochuan asked curiously:
"A classified research base? Or some kind of defense engineering base?"

"more or less."

Lin Xu answered casually, while Qin Feng added from the side:

"You haven't received any confidentiality training yet, so try not to ask questions you shouldn't ask."

"You will also need to be in isolation for a period of time. Your family should inform them in advance, and staff will guide you on how to proceed."

"understand."

Jin Xiaochuan nodded repeatedly.

He looked around curiously, even though it was just an ordinary Coaster.

However, being able to ride in such a car is an unattainable dream for many scholars, especially those who study mathematics.

In that instant, even the sense of chaos from the "higher dimensions" was diluted.

He felt incredibly proud and elated!
-
However, he was soon summoned by Bai Mo.

"Come on, now we need to talk about your problem."

"I have more experience in this area."

Half an hour later, the convoy returned to the coordination group office.

Just as Qin Feng said, Jin Xiaochuan also had to pass the review and confidentiality training.

Therefore, Lin Xu did not take him to meet Yang Le and his group of true mathematical giants at the first opportunity, but instead handed him over to Qin Feng for placement.

However, he also specifically instructed Qin Feng that Jin Xiaochuan was a very crucial person.

He is likely the key to solving the "failure to ascend to a higher dimension" problem, and must be protected.

After arranging all the work, Lin Xu returned to his office.

I must say, the day's gains were truly substantial.

The principle of "timeline interference" has been roughly clarified, the fundamental purpose of the error corrector has been clarified, and even the key clue of "the failure of the choice axiom" has been discovered.

Lin Xu vaguely felt that everything was going a little too smoothly.

No.

It can't be described as going smoothly.

It should be said that after Yang Le brought up the point of "changes in mathematical laws", he seemed to immediately realize the importance of this matter.

Subsequently, the information was uploaded, triggering a chain reaction, Jin Xiaochuan was found, and Jiang Xingye's passive skill was activated.
Looking back, most of the conditions had actually been prepared long ago.

This series of actions just waited there quietly.

Waiting for this piece of information to trigger everything.

And I did indeed do it.

prophet?

prophecy?

No.

Lin Xu felt that his intuition was strengthening.

My ability to integrate "subconscious information" is increasing.

In fact, I should have already vaguely realized the connection between all of this, but I just needed a trigger to put everything together.
It is indeed the case.

Lin Xu relaxed, and just then, Jiang Xingye knocked on the door and entered the office.

"Lin Gong~~"

Her voice was so sweet it was almost sickening, and Lin Xu couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"what happened?"

"Nothing much, are you coming to help with the birth?"

"All you do all day is talk nonsense, do you have any other serious business to do?"

Lin Xu glared at Jiang Xingye speechlessly, and the latter snorted in dissatisfaction:

"I'm getting down to business—if I hadn't studied quantum physics for so long, I wouldn't be able to understand the significance of this node so quickly today."

"Forget it, I'm not going to argue with you about this."

"I have something important to tell you."

Now that the node has been identified as this so-called 'Heavenly Gate' device, I plan to participate in this project.

"Whether it's spacecraft or high-energy physics, I feel I can lend a hand."

"Although I don't have as much specific information as you, I can still help with the preliminary work."

"How about it? Do you agree?"

"Agreed, I'll get the authorization from the coordination team later."

Lin Xu nodded.

Is there anything I can help you with?

"unnecessary."

Jiang Xingye shook his head. "Just focus on your own work; there's nothing else you have time for."

"I'll do it for you."

As Jiang Xingye finished speaking, Lin Xu's heart stirred slightly.

She would do things for me that I didn't have time to do myself.

like
It is indeed the case.

Whether it's the extra work in the real world, or in the world of the bracelet, she acts as a supplement to pollen when she's absent.

She has always been his most trustworthy and reliable companion and ally.

Speaking of which, how long did she wait after entering this time?
5 years? 10 years?
She must have been lonely for so long, right?

Fortunately, there was another version of herself in that world accompanying her.

Lin Xu glanced at the time; it was already close to six in the afternoon.

"Want to go eat?"

he asked.

"Eat."

Jiang Xingye grabbed Lin Xu's hand.

"Let's go, let's walk."

The two walked out of the office and onto the newly built tree-lined path, heading towards the canteen in the coordination group's "park".

Jiang Xingye found another stone from somewhere and kicked it around, which reminded Lin Xu of the night he walked with her along the Qinhuai River not long after he entered the bracelet world.

Back then, she would kick stones and chat with herself like that.

What did I talk about with her back then?
It seems to be something like a room-temperature superconductor or a sky train.

It's only been a few months, but looking back, it feels like years have passed.

While Lin Xu was still sighing, Jiang Xingye, who was looking down, suddenly blurted out a sentence.

"Lin Xu, when are we going to meet our parents?"

"what?"

Lin Xu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously stopped in his tracks.

Upon seeing his expression, Jiang Xingye's brows furrowed instantly.

"What do you mean? You don't want to see me?"

"No no."

Lin Xu waved his hands repeatedly.

"It's not that I don't want to meet, it's just that I don't have much experience."

"I have no idea what preparations to make, what gifts to buy, or what to talk about."

You think I know?

Jiang Xingye rolled his eyes.

Lin Xu said with amusement:
"It's okay if you don't know, you don't need to meet my parents."

"I fucking..."

Jiang Xingye was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Having finally calmed down, she began to speak:
"Brother, this is really like hell."

"How can you joke about your parents like that?"

"It's fine."

Lin Xu let out a soft breath.

"I've let it go now—who knows, maybe after we survive the apocalypse, I'll have a chance to meet them again?"

Jiang Xingye looked into Lin Xu's eyes and remained silent for a long time.

So, this young man must be somewhat vulnerable inside, right?

Although he is now considered to have achieved great success.

It cannot even be described simply as having achieved great success.

But deep down, there's still a soft spot in his heart.

Jiang Xingye squeezed Lin Xu's hand and said softly:
"No matter what, we still have to meet him."

"I also asked Qin Feng. As long as it's kept confidential, there shouldn't be any problem meeting him."

"What I mean is, we need to take a step forward."

"Or do you want to take another look and think it over?"

"No."

Lin Xu shook his head.

"No?"

Jiang Xingye's eyes narrowed.

What does "no" mean?

"No need to think about it anymore."

Lin Xu replied:
"You can arrange the time. Anyway, once you meet your parents and settle the important matters, some things will be out of your control."

A wicked smile appeared on Lin Xu's face, and Jiang Xingye raised his chin provocatively.

"hehe."

"Who has no choice is still unknown."

Jiang Xingye got very close, and his breath tickled Lin Xu's neck.

"Don't mess with me, I'm warning you."

He pushed Jiang Xingye away a little.

"What's wrong? You really want to have a baby?"

"It's not impossible."

Jiang Xingye asked in a serious tone:

Do you want a boy or a girl?

"It's a boy, right?"

Lin Xu replied:
“I’m not very good at interacting with girls—Aishwarya is an example.”
