Chapter 1382: Chapter 40: Your Uncle Is Back!_2

“Trash, trash, found trash.”

It habitually greeted perfunctorily.

Yes, these rotating principals would often come to see it, but still, it was boring and not someone it liked to see.

A quick greeting would suffice.

Then, it turned around again and continued towards the small nest.

“Don’t hurry back, VV.”

Middle-aged Gao Wen smiled:

“This time, I bring good news.”

Clack.

The treads came to an abrupt stop, inertia causing the trash can’s heavy body to lean forward, then immediately turning back, its green eyes flashing urgently.

Could it be…

“That’s right.”

Middle-aged Gao Wen was equally happy, voice excited:

“[Cheng Qian has finally grown up!]”

Creaaaak——————

As the man in the Hibernation Pod opened his eyes, the cover on the pod slowly rose, and the remaining fill liquid turned into a faint mist.

The young man sat up from the Hibernation Pod.

He looked at the unfamiliar environment, unfamiliar clothing, unfamiliar body, and… unfamiliar people.

In front of him, a round-bodied fat man held a terrifyingly shaped Octopus object with unusual excitement:

“It’s my turn, it’s my turn! Let me shock him!”

With that,

He forcibly dragged the newly awakened young man over, pressed him onto a chair, and roughly put on the “Octopus machine,” locking the clasp.

“What are you doing!”

The young man shouted in panic:

“Let me go!”

“Oh, don’t worry, Du Yao and Gao Wen have already improved the Neural Electrocution Helmet, it doesn’t hurt as much now.”

The fat man chuckled, raising his right hand high, ready to strike:

“Are you ready Pikachu! Thunderbolt!!!!”

The fat hand suddenly dropped, hitting the red button.

In an instant!

A massive electric current stabbed into the bone like a needle, eyeballs protruding, and the brain infiltrated by ants, frantically gnawing at nerves!

“Aaaaah!”

Lin Xian let out a howl, frantically shaking his head, prying open the clasps:

“Really, you call this an improvement? How is this different from the previous torture devices?”

Gao Wen smiled as he came over:

“There is an improvement, generally speaking, the screaming time is much shorter than before.”

“You are truly a genius.”

Lin Xian threw off the Octopus from his head, sighing:

“Can’t you improve the user experience at least?”

“Nerve stimulation is unavoidable.”

Gao Wen shrugged:

“The ability to stimulate memory recovery relies precisely on this kind of pain stimulus, this is absolutely indispensable.”

“Alright Lin Xian, now that you’re awake, let’s go wake up Liu Feng too.”

Gao Yang chuckled, picking up the terrifying Octopus and Neural Electrocution Helmet from the ground:

“It’s okay, I can play one more time.”

He handed the helmet to Lin Xian:

“Do you want to play?”

Lin Xian rolled his eyes at him:

“What kind of sadistic hobby is this, you play yourself.”

Looking around, he found a wafer-thin electronic clock on the experiment table in front.

He walked forward.

Lin Xian looked at the date displayed on it——

[June 17, 2504, 12:27]

…

In the meeting room.

Lin Xian and Gao Yang sat on one side, the Hafnium alloy trash can VV sandwiched between them, Liu Feng, and Gao Wen sitting opposite, explaining the era’s background briefly to Lin Xian.

Lin Xian’s attention was initially focused mainly on the ages of the two.

Unlike him hibernating for 270 years in one go, Liu Feng and Gao Wen, as rotating principals, must have intermittently woken up several times before.

Either for managing the school or for scientific research.

In short.

Now the two of them were much older than the last time they met.

Gao Wen had changed from a 30-year-old young man to a 55-year-old middle-aged man.

The previously older-looking Liu Feng now hadn’t aged as much, looking only in his 40s; instead, Tian Gang looked younger than Gao Wen.

However, from Gao Wen’s attitude, it was clear that he still held this Cosmic Constant Creator and Time Shuttle Machine inventor in high esteem… Just now at the Hibernation Base when waking Liu Feng, he had bowed several times.

“Matters of technology and worldview can be discussed slowly later.”

Lin Xian interrupted the lengthy briefing of the two.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to listen.

It was because under the table… the Hafnium alloy VV had already locked his ankle for too long, too tightly, currently numb and without sensation, if locked any longer amputation would be due.

Clearly.

VV couldn’t wait any longer, eagerly impatient!

“Let’s focus on the main points first.”

Lin Xian rubbed his ankle, looking at Gao Wen:

“Since you woke me up at this time point, it must mean Cheng Qian’s matter has been resolved, right?”

“VV has been waiting too long, being an artificial fool for hundreds of years is truly too much wronged for it, we will conduct detailed reporting later, first tell me, how is the progress on Cheng Qian’s side?”

“Very smooth!”

Gao Wen smiled and said:

“In 2482, during Du Yao’s tenure as rotating principal, the plan to find Cheng Qian was secretly launched. In this year, 121 boys named Cheng Qian were born, as well as 37 girls named Cheng Qian.”

“After all… technology is very advanced now, girls also needed to be paid attention, Du Yao indeed considered this aspect more fully than us.”

“To ensure Cheng Qian could grow as originally planned, none of these 158 Cheng Qian were ever had their lives intervened by us, and we did not offer them any assistance.”

“That’s the right approach.”

Lin Xian agreed:

“Just like intervening in history, no matter how poor Cheng Qian’s original family was, we couldn’t sponsor him a penny; maybe it is precisely due to the originally poor family that Cheng Qian became such a genius… Growing up in a superior and comfortable environment might truly waste him.”

Gao Wen nodded:

“Don’t worry, Lin Xian, we wouldn’t make such a basic mistake.”

“We never intervened in any of Cheng Qian’s life at all, kept a safe distance from him, and always watched over them attentively.”
