Genius Club-Chapter 588 - 18: The Real Invitation (Two-in-One Large Chapter)_5
"So, this gold badge might be a device similar to an NFC access card! You just need to get close to an NFC reader, and it can read the information inside!"
Lin Xian directly took out his phone from his pocket.
Nowadays, the vast majority of phones already support NFC swipe functions, and can even emulate NFC signals. It’s no longer high-end technology.
Of course, the NFC emulator on the phone can only simulate some simple, unencrypted NFC signals, such as access cards and the like.
As for encrypted cards such as meal cards, bank cards, ID cards... those kinds of NFC signals, don’t even think about simply emulating them, they are difficult. The higher the encryption level of NFC, the less likely it is to be hacked and copied.
After taking out his phone,
Lin Xian directly brought the gold badge close to his phone—
Beep beep!
The phone emitted a soft sound, automatically detected the NFC signal, then the browser APP popped up, starting to bounce through webpages incessantly!
"Guessed it right."
Lin Xian hummed softly.
Although it wasn’t a very difficult puzzle, nothing to be proud of, he had guessed right one step, moving closer to attending the Genius Club’s gathering... another step forward!
On the phone screen, the webpages continued to jump incessantly, no telling where they would ultimately land.
Lin Xian suddenly had a thought.
If VV were still around, could he track these webpage jumps and find the headquarters of the Genius Club?
Theoretically, it should be possible.
But then...
Considering the existence of Kevin Walker, the strongest hacker on the surface,
even VV, which had been iteratively evolved for half a year, couldn’t track down Kevin Walker’s address and real identity.
So,
if this NFC identification system and the logic of web redirections were designed by Kevin Walker, then it’s likely that the severely damaged VV couldn’t locate the server source in a short period of time.
In the end, it’s Kevin Walker’s genius that’s a bit too strong.
A super artificial intelligence from 600 years in the future, and he can still guard against it, is truly unimaginably tough.
However, Lin Xian didn’t currently care where the Genius Club’s headquarters were.
These matters could wait until VV was revived to be considered.
His primary goal now was to personally attend the Genius Club’s gathering, to face these geniuses.
Gather intelligence, find clues, and ultimately... eliminate Kevin Walker, or even Jask, or even the Mysterious Old Man from the Fourth Dreamland. In short, all enemies would formally enter his field of vision.

And once he resolved the imminent crisis, ensuring no one could threaten VV’s existence, that would be when he revived VV.
With the return of his old friend, his combat power would increase many times over.
By then,
whatever role the Genius Club played, its nature, its stance... he must grow strong, to have the power to battle them all.
After all, his ultimate purpose was to save Chu Anqing!
A man’s promise is as good as gold, no taking back one’s word.
Since he promised Chu Shanhe to bring Chu Anqing back home,
then,
no matter who he would face,
whether it’s the Genius Club, the Space-time Law, or an even more powerful enemy above the Void Law,
he would do his utmost! To snatch Chu Anqing back!
Finally...
After several minutes of incessant webpage jumping, the content on the webpage finally displayed—
It was an extremely simple website design, reminiscent of the BBS internet forums style from the 80s.
A pure black interface, in the center, a line of white text:
[Please enter any space-time coordinate.]
This was clearly a question.
Then below the question, there was a long rectangular white text box, where you could enter the answer; to the right of the answer box, there was a gray confirm button.
Is this...
some kind of test?
Lin Xian looked up at the top of the webpage, where there was a 1/3 mark.
This probably meant that there were three questions in total to be answered, this being the first one, and the correct answer to the account would reveal the second question.
Below the answer box, there was another line of small white text:
[Geniuses never make mistakes, so you only have one chance.]
...
Lin Xian stared at the webpage.
He probably understood now, the real process of joining the Genius Club.
The invitation was, frankly, just a door knocker, an admission ticket.
To truly join this mysterious organization, he still had to complete three test questions.
Perhaps only after he answered all three questions correctly would he truly be invited to join the Genius Club, learn the details of the gathering, the club’s rules and considerations, and then could he officially meet those unworldly geniuses.
"The threshold is really high..."
By now, Lin Xian was 80% certain that his invitation letter was definitely a shortcut taken by Huang Que, a bit of cheating.
The first test question before his eyes:
[Please enter any space-time coordinate.]
It’s hard to imagine.
What kind of question is this?
What is a space-time coordinate?
And why would the Genius Club pose such a question?
And there’s only one chance to answer.
It seems if he got it wrong this one time, he would lose the chance to join the Genius Club forever.
"Space-time coordinates."
Lin Xian read out this entirely new term.
He didn’t understand it.
But without a doubt, this question confirmed his earlier speculation...
The Genius Club indeed has something to do with space-time.
Perhaps they really have mastered the power to manipulate space-time, which is why they could throw out such an arrogant and haughty question like "space-time coordinates" to a prospective member.
