Chapter 788: Chapter 12 Ghost Scream_2 Chapter 788: Chapter 12 Ghost Scream_2 “How should I put it, this business is a long-term operation”, he said.

“It’s the kind where we open very infrequently, but every sale earns us decades, even centuries of usage fees.

Especially after the hibernation pods become widespread, it will definitely be the explosive phase for our business.”@@@@

“So, don’t look at these time capsule-like things as being unasked for now; once humans hibernate on a large scale, who knows, maybe safes will be in such demand that they’ll be hard to come by!

By then, we may need to increase the number of hibernation pods...

But as of now, there’s certainly no need, the remaining 200 plus units will keep us in sales for a long time.”

...

Listening to Brother Wang’s narrative, Lin Xian rested his chin on his hand and pondered.

As the ultimate owner and investor of Tem Bank,

he actually had the authority to change the bank’s charter.

...

Take the safes for example.

He could make regulations for the subsequent numbering.

Like...

Dragon Country people all dislike the number 4, don’t they?

Then he could stipulate that all newly manufactured safes must not contain the number 4.

When encountering 4, it’s just like hotel room numbers, skipping that number and jumping straight to 5.

This will certainly trigger a temporal flux.

In The Fifth Dreamland, CC had confirmed that Academician Gao Wen’s safe number was 424; the photo on Uncle Wei Shengjin showed the number of his safe was 724.

If he decided to change the safe numbering rules now,

there would surely be temporal changes and “space-time curvature” would inevitably alter too.

He and Liu Feng could then see changes in the readings on the space-time clock once more, and infer the pattern of “space-time coordinates.”

The theory is feasible.

But in practice,

it is unworkable.

Because of the original principle—

Since it’s already done and can’t be undone, how can you take it back?

That’s utterly a fool’s dream.

So,

the safest, most cautious approach for now is...

“Don’t take any rash actions that might trigger the Space-Time Butterfly Effect before I open Gao Wen’s safe and see what’s inside.

Otherwise, I might never see Gao Wen’s safe ever again.”

I can wait until Gao Wen’s safe is opened, verify if the contents have any value, whether they are indeed what Academician Gao Wen stored.

Then, after I have no concerns, I can try to initiate the uncontrollable temporal fluctuations and rewrite the future.

Similarly,

Lin Xian thought of another possibility.

The safe that Uncle Wei Shengjin and I dug up was number 1277, belonging to a customer named Pang Ya.

This safe, from what it seems, has no value to me right now.

Moreover,

since I know its exact location, it’s the safe I can find most easily.

But its number is 1277.

This batch of safes was clearly produced not long before the year 2400, perhaps not long before the great disaster occurred on Earth.

Could I make use of this safe?

Lin Xian had thought about establishing something like a will.

For instance...

He could pay for safe number 1277 in full in 2024, and state that once safe 1277 is manufactured, Tem Bank staff should move the contents of his safe number 66 into safe 1277.

Also, to have them set the password of safe 1277 to the same as that of 66, which is 20240328.

In this way, once I’m in The Fifth Dreamland and I dig up safe 1277 with Uncle Wei Shengjin again, what we’ll unearth will be my own safe.

Everything would go as hoped, I would get to see the note, and could invite CC to witness this historic moment together.

This plan looks perfect.

But actually...

It’s completely unfeasible.
