Genius Club-Chapter 27 Dividing the Spoils

After Lin Xian and Gao Yang finished writing, they summarized the questions they had listed.

Then they deleted some irrelevant questions that could be logically explained, and the remaining results were as follows—

[Illogical Phenomena in the Dream World]:

1. The Dream World is forever frozen on August 28, 2624, and it goes through destruction at precisely 00:42 a.m., repeating this same day over and over again.

2. Why can’t we find news, lottery information, or data from several hundred years ago on the computer network?

3. The level of technological development in the Dream World is no different from that of 2022, and people’s standards of living and lifestyle are not much different from 2022 either. What have scientists been doing for the past 600 years?

4. No matter how much you destroy or act recklessly in the dream, even if you blow the city to the ground, the city is as good as new the next day when you enter the dream, and everything is as before.

5. Why are humans completely unaware of the impending doom at 00:42? Everything comes so suddenly, without any preparation.

…

The two looked at the irrational points on the paper, finding them more and more unreasonable the more they looked.

"There are way too many bugs in this dream of yours!"

Gao Yang pointed to the first point:

"This first point alone is a huge issue! How can time in the real world not flow and keep repeating the same day over and over? From this perspective, it basically negates the possibility that your dream world could be the real world."

He then pointed to the second point:

"The second point is even more outrageous! Data on the Internet can’t be completely erased. Anything that has ever appeared on the Internet, rest assured, will leave a trace. Otherwise, how would the dark histories of those celebrities get dug up?"

Gao Yang’s finger moved to the third point:

"I take back what I said earlier, this point is clearly the most outrageous! 600 years of time, yet there’s not a single bit of development in human technology… Do you really think that’s possible? Forget about 600 years, even life 60 years from now will absolutely be a world of difference compared to today!"

Then, pointing to the fourth point:

"The setting in your dream, it outright violates the laws of conservation of energy and matter! If there was really such a city in reality that could restore itself no matter the destruction… I guess only Hogwarts might be possible?"

Gao Yang tapped on the last point:

"Astronomy is very advanced now. The trajectories of meteorites, the aging of the sun, cosmic radiation... all of these can be accurately calculated. With space telescopes above and gravitational wave detectors below, how could we possibly be unaware of a disaster that would destroy Earth? Are all the astronomers dead?"

Gao Yang spread his hands, looking at Lin Xian:

"I think there’s no need to be so conflicted anymore. There are just too many illogical things in your dream world; they simply don’t make sense in the context of real-world logic!"

"So, such an absurd world could not possibly be the real world, let alone the future world 600 years from now!"

…

Listening to Gao Yang’s conclusion, Lin Xian didn’t speak.

Actually, his thoughts were somewhat different from Gao Yang’s.

He certainly agreed with Gao Yang that these illogical phenomena could not possibly occur in a real world.

But many details indicated that his dream world was far from a fictional world. It contained things beyond his cognition, knowledge he had never learned, things he had never seen in reality but that genuinely existed…

[This could not simply be a fabricated dream world.]

"You, Lin Xian… are just too serious about everything, always trying to figure things out thoroughly. Why live so exhaustingly? Some things, being a little confused and just letting them pass, isn’t so bad."

Gao Yang hummed a tune, beginning to clean up the trash on the desk, putting bottles, cans, and packaging bags into the garbage bin:

"It’s like being able to predict the results of the World Cup, isn’t that a great thing? Remember to help me check who the champion of the 2026 World Cup is tomorrow! We’ll continue to make money in four years!"

Lin Xian waved his hand, motioning Gao Yang to hurry up and leave:

"You can ask me about that in four years. Who knows if things in the dream will change? Keke Cat turned into Rhein Cat, maybe someday the results of the competition will change too."

"True."

Gao Yang finished cleaning up the remainder of the trash, then picked up two bags of garbage and waved to Lin Xian at the door:

"I’m off then."

"Yeah, go ahead, off you go."

…

The next day.

Gao Yang came looking for Lin Xian, carrying a bag full of money.

Thud!

The black bag landed heavily on the coffee table, its weight was not light.

Lin Xian opened it to take a look.

Inside were neatly stacked bundles of hundred-yuan bills, totaling 160,000 yuan.

"Why are you giving me so much?"

Lin Xian looked at Gao Yang., He had only bought 30,000 yuan’s worth of lottery tickets, and the winnings were 110,000 yuan.

"We split it half and half,"

Gao Yang, chewing gum, rubbed the gold chain around his neck, adjusted his Ray-Ban sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and placed his brand-new AJ sneakers on the coffee table:

"Those lottery tickets are considered a joint purchase by us both; the total prize was more than three hundred thousand after cashing in, so let’s just split it evenly, no need to be so precise."

Lin Xian remained unconvinced.

He took five bundles of money out of the black bag and threw them to Gao Yang:

"Even real brothers settle their accounts clearly. Each thing on its own. Besides... my salary is now much higher than yours; I don’t need this little amount of money."

"Yo! So tough!"

Gao Yang rolled up the sleeves of his Givenchy sweater, flashed the Longines watch on his wrist, placed the latest Apple phone on the coffee table, and adjusted his Montblanc belt.

"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!"

Lin Xian couldn’t take it anymore and directly reached out to stop Gao Yang:

"What are you doing? Are you doing a fashion show for me here? Can you please tone down this nouveau riche attitude?"

"Hehehe, you don’t understand, Lin Xian. We’re rich now; first, we must improve our aura! Look at my getup, what’s your first impression?"

"You look like a Christmas tree."

...

...

Gao Yang shook his hands:

"Forget it, I won’t argue with a sick person like you, your taste probably still stuck 10 years in the past."

"So, who exactly looks like they’ve time-traveled here from 10 years ago?"

Gao Yang took off his sunglasses, looking seriously at Lin Xian:

"Stop joking around! I came to see you today to talk about serious matters."

"Serious matters? About my dreams?"

"Exactly!"

Snap!

Gao Yang snapped his fingers, smirked proudly, and pointed at Lin Xian:

"Trust me!"

"This time... I will completely expose the truth behind your dreams! I’ve thought of an absolutely reliable method!"

"What ’brilliant’ insight do you have this time again?"

Seeing Gao Yang so confident, Lin Xian truly didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

Honestly speaking, in regards to uncovering the truth behind his dreams, Lin Xian had already lost all hope in Gao Yang.

"Forget it, Gao Yang."

Lin Xian waved his hand, unwilling to hassle over this issue with him anymore:

"You don’t need to worry about this; I have my own plans, just leave me be."

"No, don’t! Trust me one more time! Just one last time!"

Gao Yang was persistent, clinging to Lin Xian, raising the index finger of his right hand:

"I swear! This time it’s absolutely reliable! It will definitely prove that your dreams are false!"
