Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 560 - 271: The Only Opportunity (Part 3)

He Yun returned the All-Knowing Crystal to Wu Chang and asked, "You mentioned there were two things you wanted to discuss with me. What’s the second one?"

Wu Chang took out a mobile hard drive from his portable space, knelt on one knee, and presented it to He Yun in the manner of offering a diamond ring.

He Yun picked up the mobile hard drive and inserted it into the console, asking, "What is this?"

Wu Chang said, "I have a cousin who has made significant contributions in the field of biology and opened a world-class unicorn company. Unfortunately, he was assassinated a while ago, and before he died, he entrusted the company and all his life’s research to me."

"I thought since I was visiting you this time, I shouldn’t come empty-handed, so I brought his research results with me. Although your research domains differ, it might inspire some new ideas."

The mobile hard drive he gave to He Yun contained all of Schultz’s lifelong work.

During the three days he helped Erin stabilize the Earthly Divine Kingdom, he tried to learn from it, but every time he read for just five minutes, he felt dizzy and drowsy.

This feeling was just like during his college days when he had insomnia; he would take out a vocabulary book, chant ’abandon’ three times, and at most finish the related explanations before falling asleep, better than sleeping pills.

The stuff Schultz left behind was way beyond his scope. Maybe someday, when he can fully unlock the All-Knowing Crystal, revisiting this knowledge might bring some insight.

But he knew his own limits; even with the All-Knowing Crystal, he might learn this knowledge, but without it, it was unlikely.

Moreover, his strategy for navigating the Abyssal Game relied on his iron elbows, and spending time learning that was like using fine steel to make a fishhook.

However, Schultz’s knowledge was a treasure for any tech-sided world. Leaving it to gather dust in a corner was a waste. Better to give it to He Yun, a fellow science whiz, who might be able to glean something from it.

As Wu Chang had guessed, He Yun, who could blend mysticism with science, was also an overachieving genius who could understand what Schultz had written.

He Yun casually opened one of the files, read a few lines, and his gaze was hopelessly glued to it, devouring the content greedily.

Seeing this, Wu Chang said smugly, "How is it? Quite astounding, isn’t it? My cousin..."

Just as he was about to praise Schultz, he noticed He Yun shushing him with a finger to his lips.

This left Wu Chang a bit hurt. No, weren’t you calling me ’sweetheart’ before, dragging me off to the bedroom, and now that you have someone new you’re calling me a nag and hushing me?

Wu Chang sighed, found a chair in the laboratory, and waited for He Yun to get tired of reading.

The wait lasted three hours.

He Yun kept his eyes fixed on everything, constantly scribbling and drawing, with a pathological grin like a mad scientist spread across his face, making Wu Chang worry he might overdo it.

Fortunately, He Yun’s laboratory was filled with energy, and all devices had real-time wireless charging, so no worries about the phone running out of battery.

Three hours later, He Yun finally snapped back to reality, rubbed her dry eyes, and walked towards Wu Chang.

Wu Chang put away his phone, thinking He Yun had finally remembered him.

Instead, He Yun took a tablet computer from beside him and said:

"I’ve registered your information in my bedroom. If you’re sleepy, go ahead and rest; if you’re bored, ask He Yi to show you around."

Wu Chang: ?

No, I even wore my winning underwear, and you just expect me to watch this?
