Cheng Cheng and the Cicada

Chapter 46 A Gift of Gratitude

Lin Xian couldn't wait to welcome the "new Dreamscape dungeon."

He had been playing this dreamscape for over twenty years... Although he was far from exploring it completely, he was somewhat bored with the stimulation and novelty.

Now that it had been confirmed that the dreamscape was the real future world 600 years later,

he didn't need to worry so much about CC and the safe deposit box.

CC was a complete stranger to him, living 600 years apart from his own era. As for the voice sounding familiar, it was probably just a coincidence.

And the safe deposit box in the bank vault...

"No wonder I couldn't guess the password no matter what."

Lin Xian scratched his head.

"It's very likely that it wasn't my safe deposit box at all. It would be a miracle if I could guess the password."

The name Lin Xian wasn't rare, and it was common to have the same name and surname.

Who knew which era that safe deposit box belonged to a Lin Xian from...

He closed the webpage.

He opened the library's book management system.

He searched for Academician Gao Wen's works.

* *Introduction to Hibernation Technology*,
* *Prospects and Technical Challenges of Hibernation Pods*,
* *Detailed Explanation of Hibernation Pod Filling Fluid*,
* *Outlook on Hibernation Technology By-products*.

A total of four works.

Clearly, the third book was Lin Xian's target.

The notes indicated the location of the books, also in Area C on the 3rd floor, but on different bookshelves.

After Lin Xian noted the specific location, he took the elevator to the 3rd floor again and quickly found Academician Gao Wen's work:

*Detailed Explanation of Hibernation Pod Filling Fluid*.

He found an empty table, sat down, and began to read.

Academician Gao Wen's research ideas were not much different from Dr. Mikeson's. Perhaps this was the only solution for the hibernation pod filling fluid. Lin Xian quickly located the key chain reaction chemical formula.

"As expected, it was copied incorrectly and confused with other chemical formulas."

After finding the key point, filling in the gaps was easy.



Lin Xian spent two days ensuring that all the copying errors were corrected, and he also added the important chemical formulas that he had previously missed.

"Phew..."

Lin Xian wrote the last word at his desk in the bedroom.

He took a long breath and leaned back in his chair.

"All done."

He picked up the three pages of new manuscripts on the desk. This time, there would definitely be no mistakes.

He lit up the screen of his phone and looked at the time.

It was already past 4 AM.

"Today is Monday, and there's a morning meeting... Is it even worth sleeping?"

Lin Xian hesitated.

It was absolutely forbidden to be late for MX Company's morning meeting, and he was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to wake up.

He opened WeChat.

These past few days, Professor Xu Yun had been taking the initiative to chat with him a few times a day, mainly to politely inquire about Lin Xian's progress.

Lin Xian could feel that Professor Xu Yun was really anxious, very anxious!

He would remind Lin Xian every day:

"Once you have the latest manuscript, contact me directly! Anytime, anywhere!"

Lin Xian looked at the time.

He felt it wasn't appropriate to contact Xu Yun at 4 AM, right?

But he felt that the other party might not think so...

"I'll give it a try."

Lin Xian sent Xu Yun a WeChat message: Are you asleep, Professor Xu?

The next second.

Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling—

The phone rang directly.

Okay.

It was expected.

Xu Yun was very excited on the other end of the phone, and immediately asked if there was a new manuscript.

Xu Yun said that he was doing research in the laboratory and had been thinking about the chemical formula on the manuscript these past few days, and couldn't sleep well. He said that if it was convenient for Lin Xian, he would like to pick up the manuscript now.

"I'll send it to you, Professor Xu. You haven't rested well these past few days, and it's not safe to drive."

"Besides, after I send you the manuscript, I'll have breakfast and go directly to the company's morning meeting. It won't be a problem."

With that,

Lin Xian put on his clothes, picked up the manuscript, and took a taxi to Donghai University.



Outside, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Many working people had already started working.

There were few cars on the road to the university town, and the taxi quickly arrived at the entrance of Donghai University. After Lin Xian got out of the car, he went straight to Professor Xu Yun's laboratory and handed him the manuscript.

"Hmm..."

Professor Xu Yun picked up the manuscript and sat down to study it, making sounds of admiration as he read:

"There's no mistake, there will be absolutely no mistake this time!"

He rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Lin Xian, I have been studying the manuscript you gave me before these past few days. Although the experimental steps are definitely stuck, the theoretical part is perfect."

"I just looked at the manuscript you brought over, and based on my experience... the chemical reaction formula above should also be absolutely correct."

"I believe that I can soon get the hibernation pod filling fluid done."

Lin Xian smiled slightly and was also happy for Professor Xu Yun.

"Then congratulations, Professor Xu. Your wish for so many years can finally be realized."

"According to your idea, the advent and announcement of the hibernation pod filling fluid will surely ignite the spark of research on hibernation technology around the world. I believe that the hibernation pod can be successfully developed in a few years."

"By that time... Xu Yiyi can take the hibernation pod to the future for treatment. I believe that in a few decades or hundreds of years, human medical technology will definitely be able to cure vegetative people."

Speaking of his daughter,

hope also ignited in Xu Yun's eyes.

He held Lin Xian's hand and thanked him repeatedly, saying that it was all thanks to Lin Xian and that he should thank Lin Xian properly.

"Then I won't disturb you, Professor Xu."

Lin Xian put on his coat and turned to leave.

"I'm going to have breakfast and then go back to the company for the morning meeting. If there are any problems with the manuscript, please contact me."

"Lin Xian, wait a moment."

Xu Yun stopped him.

Then, from the messy table, he took out a thick document bag and handed it to Lin Xian.

"This is for you, just as a small gift."

Lin Xian took it.

It felt thick and heavy, as if it were filled with various materials.

"What is this?" Lin Xian asked in confusion.

Xu Yun smiled mysteriously and kindly.

"Open it and take a look."

"I think... you should be able to use it."

I can use it?

What is it?

Lin Xian was a little curious. He unwound the string on the document bag and took out the various documents inside.

At the top was a handwritten *Exclusive Authorization Letter*.

It said:

[This authorizes Mr. Lin Xian... exclusive... free of charge...] and finally there was Professor Xu Yun's signature.

"This is..."

Lin Xian reacted.

[This is the exclusive authorization letter for that magical chemical substance that countless beauty companies around the world dream of!]

Although this wasn't a formal authorization letter, the handwritten letter was equally legally binding.

And what was even more surprising to Lin Xian was—

This exclusive authorization letter wasn't written to MX Company, or to Zhao Yingjun... but to himself.

Professor Xu Yun, he actually exclusively authorized this chemical substance to himself!

"Professor Xu... what are you doing?"
