My Ironclad System is ahead of schedule.

"Ah."

The area around the border wasn't very large, and people like Chadwick were quite conspicuous. The three of them walked for a short while before spotting an old man sitting on a bench.

An ordinary-looking old man, whose white hair was barely concealed by his hat. His eyes were cloudy, and age spots were visible on his skin.

Xing muttered to herself, "Someone like that is actually a member of the Genius Club."

Before meeting Chadwick, the club members she had seen were either elegant beauties like Nguyen May and Black Tower, intelligent mechanical lifeforms like Screwgoom, or seemingly omnipotent beings like Ji Yuan.

Such an old man was truly a surprise to her.

“The human body has its limits, but the mind is limitless,” Ji Yuan said to Xing, then walked up to Chadwick.

"Hello, Mr. Chadwick."

Ji Yuan greeted him.

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Chadwick looked up, his eyes filled with confusion. He seemed just like an old man suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Upon seeing this, Ji Yuan frowned.

This wasn't mentioned when we came...

If this were in the real world, a life science expert like him could handle it easily. But now, in the dream world, Ji Yuan has a difficult time dealing with it.

Just as Ji Yuan was thinking this, Xing walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"The clock boy told me that he and I could resolve this situation."

“You can handle this.”

Ji Yuan asked another question.

“Yes.” Xing nodded confidently, then walked up to Chadwick.

Next, under the puzzled gazes of Ji Yuan and Silver Wolf, Chadwick's previously bewildered expression instantly brightened.

His eyes gleamed with anger, and he was breathing heavily, as if he had just been released from prison and was breathing in fresh air.

"Thank you, young anonymous guest, it makes me feel much more comfortable."

He looked at the stars and expressed his gratitude.

Hearing Chadwick say that, Xing asked curiously, "How did you know I was the Nameless Guest?"

At this moment, Chadwick chuckled. Although his face was still old, his eyes had become full of wisdom. He looked at Xing and said, "Although we have never met, I can see the vibrant pioneering spirit in you at a glance."

Silver Wolf grumbled from the side, "Are you really a scientist, or a charlatan?"

"Of course, Miss Hacker."

Silver Wolf: "You still say you're not a charlatan."

“Of course I’m not a charlatan.” Chadwick looked at Ji Yuan behind the two of them: “At least, I can’t tell who’s behind you two at all. Judging from his appearance and strength, he’s undoubtedly from the Immortal Ship Alliance. But he also exudes the corporate aura that I despise the most, and…”

As he said this, his eyes lit up with excitement.

"The aura of a genius."

"Yes, hello Chadwick, I am Ji Yuan, the 85th member of the Genius Club."

What brings you here?

"Of course, I'm here to take you away," Ji Yuan said without the slightest hesitation.

"Really? Take me away from here?"

Ji Yuan nodded firmly: "Yes, besides me, Mr. Screw Gum is also in Pinocchio this time. Now the two of us will take you away, and no one can stop us."

“That’s wonderful. After being imprisoned for so long, I can finally leave. My body can probably hold out for a while longer. Could you walk with me for a bit?” Chadwick stood up, walked to Ji Yuan’s side, and said softly.

"it is good."

Ji Yuan nodded.

Even if Chadwick only had a memory bubble left, he was aware of his condition. But for him, death was the true liberation.

The two walked side by side. The members of the Hound family tried to stop them, but Ji Yuan then took out his identity document from the Interstellar Peace Company and made them leave.

The company and family were working together to keep Chadwick under their control, and now that company people were coming, they couldn't stop them.

Chadwick watched silently from the side. After Ji Yuan finished doing all that, he asked Ji Yuan a question: "How many people did you give the imaginary number collapse pulse to?"

"what?"

Xing looked at him with a puzzled expression.

How did he know that Ji Yuan reproduced the imaginary number collapse pulse and then gave him several copies?

“Miss Anonymous, don’t be surprised. If you know me through the company, it must be because my technology has been reproduced. The fact that you let me go so easily means the company probably already has my technology.” Chadwick said to Xing, “But I believe that a genius like me wouldn’t be completely devoted to the company. For the sake of the universe’s security, he must have been handed over to another force to maintain the balance.”

"Yes, I gave out three copies. One to the company, one to Xianzhou, and one to Miss Black Tower."

Ji Yuan nodded.

“That’s wonderful. I hope this will help maintain peace in the universe.” Chadwick nodded, then looked at Ji Yuan with a kind expression: “By the way, you were able to reproduce my technology, which I believe is because you gained the favor of the Venerable Master of Imagination due to your technology in the Imaginary Number Domain. Before I disappear, could you tell me about your technology? Let me see how much the technology in the Imaginary Number Domain has developed before I vanish.”

Upon hearing Chadwick's words, Ji Yuan looked embarrassed.

Silver Wolf, standing to the side, finally burst out laughing.

"You've guessed wrong this time. Ji Yuan is most famous not for the field of imaginary numbers, but for life sciences."

"what?!"

This time, Chadwick was genuinely surprised.

His imaginary number technique was copied by a life scientist?

Chapter 260 Black Swan [Second Update]

"Could you tell me about your research?"

Chadwick asked Ji Yuan.

"Ah."

Ji Yuan then recounted all of his research to Chadwick.

Chadwick remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

Honestly, he wouldn't have believed it if these words hadn't come from a member of a genius club.

After thinking for a moment, Chadwick shook his head and chuckled.

"It's a pity, it's a pity..."

Seeing his actions, Ji Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Chadwick, what are you regretting?"

“It’s a pity I was born dozens of Amber Ages too early, or if I had lived as long as Mr. Screwgun.” Chadwick looked at Ji Yuan: “If I could do research with you like Ms. Ruan Mei, perhaps I could have made even more progress in the field of imaginary numbers. The technology I’ve researched only has destructive power, but I feel it’s not enough…”

Silver Wolf, standing to the side, exclaimed in shock, "That's not enough!"

The old man before him was hunched over, and Silver Wolf felt that Chadwick was even shorter than himself. But it was this little old man that Silver Wolf suddenly felt his ambition was greater than the entire Pinocchio.

“Yes, that’s not enough. The energy released by the collapse of imaginary numbers shouldn’t just be used for attacks. It needs to achieve even greater breakthroughs.” Chadwick said earnestly, “Simply using it for attacks isn’t enough. If I could master imaginary number energy, that would be my lifelong wish.”

"Master imaginary numbers?"

Both Star and Silver Wolf were stunned by Chadwick's idea, their eyes widening in disbelief.

“Of course, I can only think about it now. I’m dead, and I can no longer continue the research.” Chadwick said, a look of disappointment appearing in his eyes.

After a moment's thought, Ji Yuan said to Chadwick, "Mr. Chadwick, you still have a memory bubble in the Pinocchio reality. I can communicate with the memory dwellers of the Flowing Light Memory Court, and perhaps it's possible to reshape a new body for you."

He didn't know if he could do it, but he had to give it a try.

If this scientist, who suffered persecution during his lifetime, could be allowed to conduct scientific research again, it would be something worth doing.

Chadwick's eyes lit up upon hearing Ji Yuan's words. However, he immediately shook his head.

"Let's forget about it. If I were to be resurrected, the company would probably drag me into all sorts of experiments and research. I don't have the same fighting skills as you guys; I can't protect myself at all."

"It's alright, I can help you with that."

"Never mind then," Chadwick waved his hand dismissively.

He then looked earnestly at Ji Yuan and said, "More than my own safety, I know I can't go on any longer. Even if I were to be resurrected, I wouldn't be able to advance my research on imaginary numbers any further. Even geniuses have their limits. My limit has been reached..."

At this moment, his gaze fell upon Ji Yuan, and his clear eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

"Ji Yuan, can you do me a favor?"

"What's the deal?"

Ji Yuan seemed to know what he was planning to do.

Chadwick said to Ji Yuan, "My memory bubble doesn't need to leave this Noconi. You go and lock up my memory bubble in its room and take all my memories away."

This is the most I can go.

However, I can give you one more push.

Let's move forward with my knowledge.

To gain more knowledge and more truths in the study of imaginary numbers, and to see sights I have never seen before.

Your talent surpasses mine.

I am already content with the contribution I have made for you.

My most prized technique, imaginary pulse collapse, is one you've mastered, but I suspect that's about all you've learned. Your knowledge of the imaginary domain is likely insufficient; I'll fill in the gaps for you.

Xing asked in shock, "Huh? But don't you want to sense the scene outside?"

"The scene outside?" Upon hearing Xing's words, Chadwick reached out and glanced at the scene behind him. "How could the scene outside be any different from the scene I can see in front of me? The only thing I care about is knowledge."

"Well, Ji Yuan, can you accept my inheritance?"

"If you're not afraid of me wasting money, then of course I'll accept."

"If it's a waste, then it's because my eyesight and intelligence are lacking. In that case, my knowledge wouldn't be considered a waste."

Chadwick waved his hand and said.

"it is good."
