Chapter 3 Asking About All Futures?

Lin Xian couldn't believe it.

He originally thought Chapter 3 asked about all futures?

To hear Einstein make such exaggerated claims!

Lin Xian sat silently in his chair, thinking!

Could this highly influential member of the Genius Club be telling the truth?

According to him!

He could see everything from now until the end of time... all events, all established outcomes!

Lin Xian couldn't believe it!

He had originally thought that Einstein's ability to see the future was similar to his own – being able to see a certain day or moment in the future!

For example, he could see the future of August 28, 2624 through dreams, and Einstein could similarly reach a certain day in the future through dreams!

Lin Xian was mentally prepared for that!

But now, listening to the other party, he completely underestimated this president... No matter what, being able to see the accurate future of every day, every moment, every minute, every second, wasn't that a bit too much? Humankind's unknown future was like a painting unfolding before him, with every detail visible and presented before him!

If he truly possessed such abilities, what in the world could be difficult for him?

Wouldn't both history and the future be completely transparent and manipulable to him?

That is... he could steer the future in any direction he wanted, accurately placing the world line in the desired position. Lin Xian originally thought his dream-like golden finger was incredibly powerful, able to directly perceive the results of the space-time butterfly effect! But now, compared to Einstein's abilities, it was truly a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning!

He... shouldn't be boasting, right?

Lin Xian couldn't help but feel doubtful! After all, he still couldn't readily accept such an exaggerated setting!

"Heh heh..."

At this moment, Da Vinci, sitting next to him, smiled slightly and looked at Lin Xian: "Mr. Rhein, my initial reaction, and even the reactions of everyone else here, were exactly the same as yours! This matter is indeed unbelievable, but even more unbelievable is that Einstein is not lying. He can indeed see the clear future!"

"I myself spent a long time verifying and believing this matter, and ultimately came to a positive conclusion. This is also why Einstein established the Genius Club and issued invitation letters! He hopes to extend this ability, allowing you tested geniuses to use it to bring a better future to human civilization. This is his greatness, a model for all of us!"

Lin Xian could tell!

Miss Da Vinci was indeed full of admiration for Einstein and deeply believed in his ability to foresee the future! He believed!

None of the geniuses present were ordinary people. They wouldn't be foolish enough to be brainwashed by sales-like rhetoric!

"How did you verify it, Miss Da Vinci?" Lin Xian asked, tilting his head, wearing the Rhein cat mask: "Can you share your methods?"

Because he was wearing a mask, Lin Xian couldn't see the woman's expression up close!

But he could feel it! The other party was smiling, the kind of knowing smile: "Mr. Rhein, you don't need to worry about how we verified it. After all, even if we told you, you might not believe it." "Although I've only interacted with you for a few tens of minutes, I can already sense that you are a very cautious young man who doesn't easily trust others!"

"Then why not verify it yourself?"

Da Vinci turned her head to look at Einstein on the high platform: "I think the welcoming ceremony should be over, right? Next should be the monthly formal meeting. You can verify the truth of this matter at the formal meeting!"

"Well, although I kindly remind you that this may waste several of your precious opportunities, this is indeed an inevitable process."

"At least for me, Gauss, Jask, and Turing, we all wasted many opportunities to verify this matter. This can be regarded as a common fault of you geniuses - being naturally suspicious!"

Lin Xian blinked!

Silently listening! Precious opportunities?

What kind of opportunities? Is it the opportunity to ask questions?

That seemed to be the only possibility!

But there was no need to speculate now. Just as Da Vinci said, now that the self-introduction session was over, it was time to enter the formal meeting. What big moves were they holding back? He would know when he saw it.

Indeed! Not long after the sound fell, Einstein sat upright again on the high platform's wooden chair, scanning the crowd sitting on both sides of the red carpet: "Alright, then the welcoming ceremony is over! This can also be regarded as our respect and sincerity towards the new member No. 9 Rhein. I believe that a genius's adaptability is very strong, and Rhein will definitely integrate into us quickly, start his plan, and begin to build his future!"

"Next, according to the arrangement of our monthly meeting, we will enter the formal gathering! Also, out of consideration for new friends, I will repeat the process and requirements of the gathering in detail." He turned his head to look at Lin Xian: "Let's do it again!"

"Rhein, every month... on the 1st... at 20:02 Dragon Country time, we will hold a club gathering on time. As long as you have time, you can come and participate through that golden brooch; if you don't have time, it doesn't matter. The regulations say that we accept absenteeism and also accept long-term absenteeism!" "Over time, you will slowly understand that there will rarely be a situation where everyone is present like today. There are many reasons, and the most important reason you will be able to figure out in a while!"

"But you don't need to care about what others are doing, because the content of the meeting has nothing to do with others."

"In order, every genius has one opportunity to ask me a question!"

After a pause, the old man with a dignified demeanor continued: "The way of asking questions is like this, conducted publicly. The questions you raise will receive my accurate answers! But at the same time, all other participants will also hear the answers. This is fair and also sincere!"

"Then inevitably, if you ask too directly, with too obvious a purpose, it may bring you unnecessary trouble, to the point where other members guess your future plans or even guess your identity!"

Gauss on the left seat slowly nodded. "That's right. Jask asked the first time he participated..."

"Shut up, Gauss."

The impatient old man on the high platform said, "Interrupting others while they are speaking is the most basic courtesy! Gauss, I have told you about this bad habit many times. If you really want to speak, you can raise your hand!"

Lin Xian snorted softly. Indeed!

Gauss's habit of interrupting was really annoying. He had only been in contact with him for a few minutes, and Lin Xian had completely put away his sympathy and had several times been unable to resist interrupting him! Some people were just born to like interrupting!

Lin Xian's deepest impression was that he had a roommate from Tianjin in college! Perhaps because he was born in the city of crosstalk, he was influenced by it since childhood. Every time he went to class, no matter what class it was, the teacher would be lecturing on the stage, and he would be lecturing below, talking with great interest! Once in an economics elective course!

The teacher was talking on the stage, "In class, we talked about 'what is it?'" He interjected!

"'There is a mysterious invisible big hand in economics!'" "That's right!" He interjected!

"'This invisible big hand is also called the market mechanism, market regulation!'"

"'That's right!'" He interjected!

"'Modern economic theories must be based on '""Hey, I've heard of this assumption!'" He interjected! ""That is, the assumption that every participant in the market economy is profit-seeking!'" ""I think that's right!'" He interjected!

Bang.

The teacher slapped the podium table and said, "Get out, that student."

Lin Xian once advised him: "Can't you get rid of the habit of interrupting?" "Oh my god!"

"I'm not saying that you are 'disgusting' in class."

"Goodbye!"

"In short, let's assume that Gauss is from Tianjin for now!"

"No!"

"Just based on his speaking speed, which is as slow as a snail, he doesn't deserve to be from Tianjin. Let's observe him again!"

After finishing with Gauss, Einstein continued his story: "No. 9 Rhein, as the last questioner, you have ample time to study and comprehend. I believe that a genius's ability to think will make you realize the opportunities and risks involved in this way of asking questions!"

Lin Xian was silent! He had already understood in his heart!

This was actually a werewolf killing mode! The identity of each genius was hidden, their future plans were not public, and their methods and actions were also carried out in secret. This meant that when you asked Einstein a question, you had to think twice before asking!

Because this question was not a one-on-one answer!

Instead, you had to ask and get answers in front of everyone. If you asked too detailed, others would immediately guess your plan and thoughts, or even lock down your identity!

If you asked too broadly, the answers you got might not be useful to you, but would help others instead!

Asking questions and getting answers from an omniscient and omnipotent person sounded tempting, but under the eavesdropping of these geniuses, you could easily fall into a trap and be tricked!

For example, Lin Xian just had two thoughts flash through his mind - asking "Where is Du Yao?"

He also wanted to ask "What exactly is the Thousand-Year Stake?"

But now he didn't dare to ask!

If he asked where Du Yao was, and clearly stated which Du Yao, specifically to the individual's achievements, Einstein would definitely give an answer!

And then what? Would Copernicus, who was listening carefully next to him, let Du Yao continue to be at ease?

Or would other geniuses intercept Du Yao before he could reach her?

And once they contacted Du Yao before him, they would probably be able to analyze the purpose of his search for Du Yao, and then deduce other clues that would be detrimental to him! So, this silly question could definitely not be asked!

Asking it would be no less than self-destruction, and he would never see Du Yao!

Similarly!

The question of the Thousand-Year Stake!

Yellow Oriole once said that although she created the term Thousand-Year Stake, people who knew the original meaning would be able to hear it as soon as they heard it!

Lin Xian felt!

The Thousand-Year Stake was a crucial concept that perhaps members of the Genius Club didn't know, didn't understand, and had never heard of!

After all, the Thousand-Year Stake was too well hidden. It only dissipated once every 24 years, making it as difficult to witness the moment of dissipation as finding a needle in a haystack!

Lin Xian didn't know if Einstein knew!

If he didn't know, then he would be fine, but he was afraid that Einstein would know! If he really knew and told the complete concept of the Thousand-Year Stake to the other geniuses!

The consequences would be unimaginable!

After all, his primary goal in joining the Genius Club was to save Chu Anqing and fulfill his promise to Chu Shanhe to bring her home!

And if others knew of the existence of the Thousand-Year Stake!

What would they do?

Would they use this mechanism that he hadn't yet figured out to lie in wait and snipe the next person born in 2028 and dissipated in 2048 at the Thousand-Year Stake?

Or would they prevent him from saving Chu Anqing and become his enemy?

Just as Einstein had warned, if the questions asked were not cautious enough, they would not only not bring convenience to themselves, but would also bring trouble and obstacles to their goals!

Lin Xian took a deep breath!

Seriously! Indeed! Others had a month to think about what kind of questions to ask and how to ask them more safely!

But he had just learned about the content of the Genius Club gathering! The time left for him to think was not much!

In general!

For the sake of his own safety and for many other reasons, the optimal solution for the questions to ask Einstein should be to ask a question that others could not understand and that he could understand without revealing his identity or leaking information, or to ask a question that had no meaning to others but was of great value to him. It was simple to summarize!

But it was too difficult to implement!
