章 26: Granddaughter from the Future?
編集者: Henyee Translations
"Yes, I transmigrated back from three hundred years later."
"My maker told me to wait here for your arrival. That's the only way to redeem the world six months later."
Xiaoyu was not very surprised that Lin Chen knew about her background. Instead, she was very calm, as if she had already known that he would ask this question.
"Wait, wait, wait… Why do I feel that your words are so strange?"
"What creator… and the world half a year later?? Aren't you from 300 years later?"
For a moment, Lin Chen felt that his CPU was about to be lit up.
"Lord Lin Chen, you should understand after reading this."
Xiaoyu slowly swam to the front of the capsule. After entering a series of commands into the control panel on the outside of the instrument, a holographic projection suddenly appeared at the top of the capsule.
The projection was of a girl with a graceful figure. She looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old.
"Hihihi! Elder Lin, I know you have a lot of questions, but don't be anxious. I have to confirm your identity first!"
"Let me hear you say something!"
Looking at the strange girl in the projection, Lin Chen felt that she was a little familiar, but he could not tell what was familiar about her.
Moreover, why did she ask him to speak the moment she came up?
Wasn't this supposed to be something like a videotape?
Why did it look like it could still communicate with him?
This kind of technology would probably require Doctor Strange, right?
However, he still asked in doubt, "Hi, how are you?"
"That's right! It's indeed Old Lin!"
The girl in the projection was obviously excited when she heard Lin Chen's voice.
"Alright, Old Lin, you can ask any question now. I'll be able to answer you."
"Anything?"
"Yes, anything is fine!"
After testing that this projection could indeed communicate with him normally, Lin Chen asked his first question.
"Why do you call me Old Lin?"
To be honest, other than his roommates in university, no one else had called him Old Lin.
"I knew you'd ask that first."
The girl in the projection placed her hands on her hips smugly.
"I called you Old Lin because you're great-grandfather, so I think it's more appropriate to call you that."
"Great-grandfather??" Lin Chen was stunned. "Are you joking with me?"
The girl smiled as if she had expected this. She said casually,
"It's normal that you don't believe me, but you should know the number 839452788, right?"
At first, it sounded like an ordinary string of numbers, but the more Lin Chen listened, the more familiar it became.
"Damn, how did you know my secret code?"
This string of numbers was a secret key that Lin Chen had stored on a certain Internet drive. There were at least 100 million learning resources inside!
He had never told anyone about such a precious thing.
However, the girl in the projection could actually say it so readily. It must have been told to her by someone he trusted.
Hence, Lin Chen temporarily believed that this was his great-granddaughter.
"Ahem, alright then, my great-granddaughter. Call me Great-Grandfather."
Lin Chen thought about it carefully. He did not seem to have suffered a loss.
The girl rolled her eyes.
"I'll call you my ass!"
"I don't know how my great grandma fell for you in the first place."
"Hurry up. If you have anything else to ask, ask quickly. I still have something serious to say. The quantum transmission on my side can last another ten minutes at most."
"Oh, where are you now?" Lin Chen asked casually.
The girl was a little impatient. "Three hundred years later. Why do you keep asking such nonsense!"
"Is this really a trans-dimensional conversation?"
The girl's answer confirmed Lin Chen's guess.
Time capsules could project from the future to the present.
However, it only took humans 300 years to master such technology!
This made Lin Chen admire the person who created the time machine even more.
However, at this moment, Lin Chen was very perceptive. He did not continue talking nonsense but went straight to the point.
"What's the purpose of sending Xiaoyu over? What will happen in half a year? Why did she say that I'm the savior?"
A series of questions were thrown out, and the girl answered them carefully.
"First of all, Xiaoyu is an artificial mermaid that I created that can withstand spacetime cracks. I implanted human emotions into her and allowed her to communicate with some of the cyber-transformed marine creatures."
"I sent it to your spacetime through the time capsule to save you after the mechanical beast tide."
"Saving me after the mechanical beast tide? What do you mean?" Lin Chen asked.
"Literally."
"In my time and space, you also piloted Abyss Dragon No. 1 to where you are now on the 10th of March. Then, you went on a killing spree in this rift valley and slaughtered a whale king mecha and thousands of mecha sea beasts, taking away their energy cores."
"Damn, was I that bad*ss?" Lin Chen was surprised. The whale king mecha sounded very awesome.
The girl ignored his surprise and continued after a pause.
"However, after you went ashore, you were cursed by the sea. However, you did not know. You thought that it was just a small cold, so you didn't pay much attention to it."
"It wasn't until the third day after you repelled the beast tide that the curse finally took effect. You died at the headquarters of the World Cyber Alliance."
"After you died, your Hegemony Zero was actually summoned on its own. It activated some 'nuclear leveling' mode and completely bombarded the three major regions of Huaxia."
"It's said that at that time, all the national cyber warriors of the World Cyber Alliance were mobilized to stop it but they were not able. At that time, your Hegemony Zero could be said to be invincible."
"In the end, Stick Country and Choebon's cyber people, who did not join the alliance, joined forces and dug out the energy core of Hegemony Zero. That was how the crisis was resolved."
"However, the strange thing was that before Huaxia could repair the steel walls of the three major regions, mechanical beast tides appeared again from all directions and swallowed the city in an instant. The cyber people of the World Cyber Alliance lost their combat ability because of the battle with Hegemony Zero and could only send ordinary soldiers to fight."
"But how could ordinary soldiers resist this cyber beast? Therefore, very quickly, all three major regions were destroyed by it. It entered the cities to kill humans, and the surviving humans could only be forced to hide in hidden shelters…"
