Genius Club-Chapter 1227 - 55: The First Millennium Stake (Extra for Alliance Leader Jiuge Hulu!)
Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of ropes.
As soon as the girl named [Maimai] opened her eyes, Lin Xian quickly leaned over to check the color of her pupils.
Hmm.
Thank goodness.
They’re black, no blue glow.
Threat level decreased by 99.754%.
Instantly, Lin Xian felt much more relieved.
Based on previous observations in The Sixth Dreamland, when a normal human awakes from the Hibernation Pod, it’s a very slow process.
It roughly takes over an hour for the body to regain sensation, to be able to walk around, and the recovery of language ability is even slower.
So.
Lin Xian had to wait here for at least two hours.
Anyway, it was boring.
He picked up Maimai’s debut novel "Heaven Devouring Demon God" again. No matter how boring it might be, at least it could pass some time.
He found a place to sit down.
Opening the manuscript, he skipped directly past the "Introductory Part"...
"Shouldn’t it be ’Prologue’?"
Lin Xian wanted to complain just now, but there were too many complaints and he couldn’t even begin:
"Come on Maimai, why does this reek of disaster everywhere?"
In short.
He couldn’t stand the "Introductory Part," so Lin Xian planned to skip it and go straight to the main content—
However.
After flipping a page, it still wasn’t the main content!
Four large words caught his eye:
"Realm Setting"
[This book has a total of 12 levels, each level has 12 sub-levels, and each sub-level has four states of upper, middle, lower, and perfect, these 576 realms are respectively...]
Slap.
Lin Xian decisively closed the manuscript.
"There’s no saving it."
At this moment, he had no expectations for this so-called great work.
Maimai’s novel, both in terms of setting, writing style, and the arrangement from "Introductory Part" to "Realm Setting"... it had perfectly gathered all the elements of a flop novel.
It was a textbook example of a disaster.
On the contrary.
It was the specific timestamp of April 17, 2025, in the "Introductory Part" that Lin Xian was particularly interested in.
So.
He mustered up the courage to reopen the manuscript and re-read the extremely edgy yet strangely old-fashioned text:
"On April 17, 2025, the Mist of the Demon God quietly descended upon the earth, already declaring this world’s destruction... This story is adapted from real events."
Lin Xian started to ponder.
No wind, no waves.
Maimai had written such a fantastical and absurd plot, yet she specifically noted that it was adapted from real events...
[That would mean that this so-called "Demon God Mist Descending Event" should have traces to follow, a prototype to refer to.]
Otherwise.
Why bother with the extra step, talking nonsense?
If this date wasn’t so close to Lin Xian’s life, he might have just skimmed through it and not taken it to heart.
But April 17 was just a month away, and mid-April... was also the doctor’s estimated due date, Zhao Yingjun’s due date, the day Yu Xi was expected to be born.
As a husband and father, how could he not care?
Lin Xian nodded:
"Judging from the author bio Maimai wrote for herself, she is a young girl with dreams and aspirations, so... she should be responsible and serious about such an important work; she shouldn’t be writing recklessly."
"From this perspective, something very significant must erupt on April 17, 2025."
"Otherwise, why else would Maimai, a girl born in 2222, have such a vivid memory of something that happened 200 years ago, down to a specific month and day?"
The more he thought about it.
The clearer Lin Xian’s thoughts became:
"Besides, everyone who writes a novel hopes for a catchphrase. Since Maimai specifically chose this timestamp, indicating it’s an adaptation of a real event... that obviously means this real historical event should be very famous, known to everyone."
"It surely cannot be Yu Xi’s birthday, right? The Demon God referred to as Yu Xi?"
Lin Xian shook his head and chuckled.
Even if Yu Xi had previously been a time-traveling assassin and a terminator, she was far from being called a Demon God, let alone now as Yu Xi listens to Pleasant Goat during prenatal education.
"Impossible."
Lin Xian muttered to himself:
"This time Yu Xi will definitely be a quiet and well-behaved little girl."
So...
What exactly was the Demon God Mist event on April 17, 2025? freewebnσvel.cѳm
Without a clue or any other leads.
Lin Xian raised his head, looking at Maimai, who was gradually waking in the Hibernation Pod.
At this moment, her body had started to sway from side to side, turning her head, kicking her legs, clearly having recovered her ability to move, and was following system prompts to perform various tests.
Finally.
With the sound of a motor turning, the lid of the Hibernation Pod slowly lifted.
This was the correct procedure to open a Hibernation Pod because the Hibernation Pod Filling Liquid inside had already been extracted in advance, so naturally, there wouldn’t be any evaporating mist; everything was calm.
The girl Maimai sat up from the Hibernation Pod.
She tilted her head.
Looking curiously at Lin Xian, Lin Xian also examined her up and down.
This girl Maimai was not short, estimated to be above 165, slim build, pretty features, she indeed seemed like somewhat of a "literary girl," with "scholarly family" and "full of talent" vibes.
Just.
After reading "Heaven Devouring Demon Emperor," Lin Xian couldn’t take off the colored glasses he had when looking at her.
The girl Maimai stared at Lin Xian, and slowly spoke:
"You are...?"
Then looked at her own hands:
"I am... Where is this place?"
Finally seeing a living person, they had to get along well.
Lin Xian politely extended his hand to greet her:
"Hello, Maimai, my name is Lin Xian."
"Lin... Xian?"
Maimai blinked her eyes:
"I am... Maimai?"
Although very confused, she saw that Lin Xian bore no hostility, and without much defense, extended her hand, shook Lin Xian’s hand, and then used the leverage to step out of the Hibernation Pod and stand on the ground.
