Chapter 78 East China Sea

"Enough!!"

Big Face Cat was forced into a corner and shook off Lin Xian:

"Brother, are you done yet?! Ask, ask, ask, ask! Do you have a hundred thousand whys? Why do you have so many questions!"

"Hold me! Stop asking! If you have any questions, go ask my dad directly! You two might actually get along!"

He shook off Lin Xian's arm again and smoked angrily.

Lin Xian stood there thinking.

From this point of view...Big Face Cat's father is indeed not dead, he is still alive, he should still be alive.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have told me to go ask his dad questions:

"Your dad... um, is he okay?"

"Very good! He just got stupid from studying! He stays in his room all day long!"

Big Face Cat looked disdainful, took a big puff of cigarette, and handed the remaining half of the cigarette to Zhuang:

"This is what scholars are like, the more they study, the more crazy they become! Zhuang, what's the point of studying?"

"It's useless!"

Zhuang took two puffs of cigarette, shook his head, and handed the remaining cigarette to Erzhuzi:

"Scholars are all talking nonsense, in this world... it's better to learn a skill than to study."

"Just Yes, that's right. "

Erzhuzi bit the cigarette butt and looked at Lin Xian suspiciously:

"Cultural people are the most unreliable and dishonest."

He took another puff and then another puff, and then handed the last cigarette butt to Sanpang:

"It's better to work early and marry a good wife like my sister-in-law. What do you think, Sanpang?"

Sanpang sucked the cigarette butt and nodded wisely:

"I think it's okay."

Big Face Cat nodded and said yes:

"In fact, I don't want my daughter to continue to go to school. It's a good way out to work early and marry a good husband."

"Don't be so embarrassed, brother, let your daughter continue to go to school." Lin Xian advised.

He found out...

The saying that the economic base determines the superstructure is really true. In such a poor and backward place, people's thinking height is limited, and their perspectives on things are also different.

Looking at the state of the four people in front of him...

It is estimated that they are either illiterate or semi-illiterate.

Lin Xian gave up trying to get any key information from Big Face Cat. As he said, it would be better to ask his father for clarification.

Obviously, even in the changed dream, Cat Dad is still studying mathematics.

He should not have won the Fields Medal in this era, but in this poor and backward world, whether there is such an award is another matter.

But Cat Dad can study something as impressive as "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant", so he must be very capable and does not need any awards to prove it.

In the "first dream" before the change, Lin Xian never asked Big Face Cat's father what he was studying.

But intuitively... it is probably similar to the cosmological constant being studied now.

Lin Xian couldn't tell why.

He always felt that history had a certain inevitability, just like Big Face Cat's fate seemed to have changed, his family was happy, and his life was happy.

But it seemed that many things had not changed, and they were still the same as before.

This is an indescribable feeling.

"Can I visit your father?" Lin Xian asked:

"I'm actually quite interested in mathematics, and I want to communicate with your father and ask for advice."

"Why not! You are my younger brother, and this little thing is not worth mentioning." Big Face Cat raised his hand and looked at his watch:

"But it's definitely too late today. He lives a little far away. I promised my son to buy him roast chicken to eat when he goes back."

"You have a son?" Lin Xian was surprised.

"Yes, my youngest son, he's six years old. My daughter had been clamoring for a sister, so we gave birth to one, but it turned out to be a boy."

Talking about his children, Big Face Cat's face was filled with happiness:

"The boy is very naughty, but sometimes he is also very cute."

"Let's do this!"

Big Face Cat waved his hand and embraced Lin Xian:

"Since you are wandering around and have nowhere to go, just live in my house! There are many rooms at home, and it's just right to have dinner at home in the evening."

"Tomorrow I will take you to find my dad on a motorcycle, you can't find the way by yourself. It's mainly because it's too late today, I will take you there earlier."

Big Face Cat was so enthusiastic that Lin Xian was indeed a little moved.

Because he had a lot of things to ask Big Face Cat about this dream, he wanted to quickly understand the world view, and they could have a good chat at the dinner table

But at the same time...

"Introduction to the Cosmological Constant", Big Face Cat's father went crazy because of research, and kept repeating a sentence all day...

He also cared about this matter.

He really wanted to figure out what the cosmological constant was? What does this have to do with the genius club?

But Big Face Cat is right.

In this shabby and backward village, the paths are rugged and the buildings are messy. If no one leads the way, Lin Xian can't even tell the directions... Not to mention that every house is almost the same, he will definitely not be able to find it.

Lin Xian thought for a while and nodded.

Anyway, the dream will still repeat, no one can escape, and they have to repeat this day endlessly, and they can go to find Cat Dad anytime.

"Okay, tomorrow will be tomorrow."

Lin Xian plans to get in touch with Big Face Cat as soon as possible after entering the dream tomorrow, and then let Big Face Cat take him to find Cat Dad on a motorcycle.

...

After chatting for a while, it's time to go home.

A Zhuang, Er Zhuzi, and San Pang waved goodbye to Big Face Cat, and Big Face Cat led Lin Xian home.

"Big Brother..."

A Zhuang came over quietly, glanced at Lin Xian, and whispered to the big-faced cat:

"What happened at night..."

The big-faced cat nodded:

"It's business as usual."

After that, the three of them left.

"Do you have any activities at night?" Lin Xian naturally noticed their little movements. The IQ levels of these four people were on the same level.

"Hahaha, no, no, it's a gang thing." The big-faced cat responded perfunctorily:

"Come on, brother, let's buy some roast chicken."

…

Walking on the crowded and twisted path, Lin Xian really felt depressed.

He could see almost nothing except the sky directly above his head. There are houses, houses, houses all around. It feels like being stuffed into a maze.

Lin Xian looked at the big-faced cat humming and walking away:

"Brother Face, you don't have a job, how can you support your family?"

"Collect protection fees!" The big-faced cat looked proud.

"It's true..." Lin Xian couldn't believe it:

"Is this legal?"

"Hey! Look what you said! My big-faced cat is covering this land! Shouldn't they pay me protection money?"

"You shouldn't be charging property fees, right?"

"F-fart! Who are you looking down on!"

…

When we arrived at Big Face Cat's house, it was getting dark.

Big Face Cat's house is a three-story building, just like the messy self-built houses around it.

The elder sister-in-law is very enthusiastic and beautiful, which makes Lin Xian wonder where Er Zhuzi got the courage to seduce her.

But those were all the second pillars of the last dream... maybe they have changed their ways now.

At least judging from the current situation, the big-faced cat has a happy life and is on the right track.

Lin Xian didn't believe anything about collecting protection fees.

Just looking at his "duty to catch thieves" and "being a chivalrous person" and the attitude of his neighbors towards him... Lin Xian felt that 80% of what the big-faced cat received was property fees.

Or perhaps, it reminds me of the fishy whispers when I just separated from A Zhuang, Er Zhuzhu and the others...

[The big-faced cat must be hiding something from himself. 】

"The food is coming~"

Sister-in-law is gentle and elegant, smiling and serving hot dumplings and meals. The big-faced cat’s daughter and son also took their seats one after another, and the family started eating while talking and laughing.

The daughter of the big-faced cat is also very beautiful. Fortunately, she did not inherit a single bit of the big-faced cat.

He looks like a teenager, and his words are a bit rebellious.

The son of the big-faced cat is very unfortunate. He is just like a smaller version of the big-faced cat.

Seeing this heartwarming scene, Lin Xian was also very happy. But in the blink of an eye... he thought of Xu Yun's body lying on the street, and Xu Yiyi's skinny body in the hospital bed.

Some are happy and some are sad.

His actions to change history and rewrite the future changed the life of the big-faced cat, but also changed the lives of Xu Yun and Xu Yiyi.

One family becomes happy, and one family becomes separated from one another.

How Lin Xian hopes that the hibernation cabin can be successfully developed... How he hopes that Xu Yiyi can be cured of her vegetative state one day in the future, like the daughter of the big-faced cat in front of her, bickering with her father, but free and at ease.

Unfortunately.

Looking at the current level of technological development in this dreamland, 80% of the time, hibernating cabins have still not been successfully developed in these 600 years.

"I don't want to work! I want to go to school!"

The big-faced cat’s daughter is still quarreling with the big-faced cat:

"What will I do if I don't go to school! I don't want to live a life like yours here!"

"you!"

The big-faced cat's face turned red from suppressing it, but he was too stupid to speak to his daughter.

"Forget it, Brother Face."

Lin Xian smiled, raised his glass and clinked it with the big-faced cat:

"Although I, an outsider, should not be involved in your discipline of your children...but it is still right to go to school. Knowledge changes your destiny."

"Children who want to go to school and have dreams must be supported. Niuniu loves learning so much. When she grows up, does she also want to become a mathematician and teacher like her grandfather?"

"snort!"

The big-faced cat girl pouted:

"I don't want to be a teacher."

"Then what do you want to do when you grow up?"

"I only have one dream when I grow up!" The big-faced cat girl pouted:

"I want to leave here! I want to live in [New Donghai City]!"

The wine glass Lin Xian held up stopped in mid-air...

New Donghai City?

He looked at the big-faced cat:

"The third new Donghai City?"

"There is no third place! It's [Xindonghai City]!" The big-faced cat swallowed the chicken in his mouth and rolled his eyes at Lin Xian:

"Why does your brain look like a second-hand one? Where did you get it?"

"Wait a moment."

Lin Xian put down his wine glass and looked at the big-faced cat:

"What does New Donghai City mean? Isn't this Donghai?"

"This is the old East China Sea."

"Then where is Xindonghai?"

The big-faced cat looked at Lin Xian like a fool:

"No, brother, are you drunk or are you teasing me? Don't you even know about Xindonghai?"

"I really don't know!" Lin Xian frowned: "Where are you?"

The big-faced cat smacked its lips in disgust.

He stood up, picked up Lin Xian and walked up the stairs:

"You guy, you are telling lies with your eyes open!"

He was very strong and dragged Lin Xian upstairs and directly to the roof of the third floor.

This was the first time since Lin Xian entered this dreamland that he felt that his field of vision was wide, and his vision was finally no longer blocked by this intricate self-built building.

"Here! Turn around!"

The big-faced cat forced Lin Xian to turn around.

A piece of neon light reflected in Lin Xian's pupils——

Just a few kilometers away from them, a giant science fiction city surrounded by high steel walls stood in the sky!

The tall building sinks into the sky and the top cannot be seen!

Vehicles of all sizes are flying through the air!

The colorful neon lights paint a picture with distinct colors in the night!

Huge screens display advertisements on the walls of high-rise buildings, countless robots are busy in every corner of the city, and a hundred-meter-high steel wall surrounds the entire city tightly, like a giant alien object!

Lin Xian looked at this scene that was comparable to a science fiction movie and froze on the spot without moving.

Underfoot... is a dilapidated and backward small village, small and old.

In front of us...is a majestic and highly developed science fiction city, with high steel walls stretching for dozens of kilometers like a chasm!

There is a difference between ants and mountains.

Although this is a dream, it is also reality, the real world 600 years later.

"See it!"

The big-faced cat chuckled and pointed at the brilliant and colorful future city a few kilometers away:

"Then! It's - [New Donghai City]!"
