Genius Club

Chapter 291

Chapter 291: Chapter 11: The Disappearance of CC Chapter 291: Chapter 11: The Disappearance of CC There wouldn’t be any clues to find near this statue, Lin Xian decided to look outside the square.

He walked down the stairs leading to the statue...

“Hmm?

Is this a dead end?”

Lin Xian had thought that by following the stairs downwards, he could go from the raised platform of the statue to the plaza below.

But at the bottom of the staircase, there was a tall electronic gate that separated the entire statue area from the plaza.

It was then that he understood why there were no people near the statue when other areas of the plaza were bustling with pedestrians; there was only a decrepit robot picking up trash.

Because of the presence of the tall electronic gate, the raised platform of the statue was actually a restricted area.

...

He had fallen from the sky and barged in; ordinary tourists couldn’t get in.

Lin Xian checked the tall, imposing electronic gate, finding no mechanism to open it nor any keypad for a code, it seemed there was no way out from here.

But that was no problem for him.

The trash can robot from earlier had simply been thrown off the edge of the platform, and with his skillful parkour abilities, he could just cling to the wall and descend.

He ran back to the top of the platform and found the spot where the robot had been discarded.

Lin Xian gripped the edge of the platform and made a few calculated jumps to safely land on the ground.

Thump.

Upon landing, Lin Xian looked at the parts that had fallen from the battered trash can robot beside him.

He suddenly thought...

If he were to go back to the raised platform where the statue stood, he’d definitely have to pass through that towering electronic gate.

He had already checked earlier; the gate was securely shut.

Then...

Unlike the superficial bustle of New Donghai City...

the prosperity of Rhine Sky City was a true reflection of technology changing life.

Vehicles and robots of all kinds whizzed by overhead and operated in a complicated yet orderly manner.

Nearly all the exteriors of skyscrapers displayed various changing images, and while the light pollution was severe, many had impeccable naked-eye 3D effects.

On the street corners, Lin Xian saw what one could call the true Sky City-style “waste disposal robots.”

These robots were quite large and very fast.

As they flew by the street, one couldn’t discern how they operated...

trash on the ground would automatically get sucked into their waste compartments.

He couldn’t understand it, couldn’t understand it at all.

This was the true city of the future.

It was right that he couldn’t understand.

For this city, Lin Xian’s existence was like that of an ancient person from 600 years ago.

Anything comprehensible to him would surely not fit the advancement of the times.

So...

That was quite contradicting.

Wasn’t the purpose of the Genius Club to suppress the development of human technology?

Lin Xian was puzzled.

He had always thought so.

From the technological stagnation of The First Dreamland to the facade of progress in the second, he had believed it was the invisible hand of the Genius Club that was suppressing the advancement of human science.

But now, the technological level of Rhine Sky City seemed to have exploded to an incredible degree, showing no sign of suppression.

Controlled nuclear fusion had been conquered, and every element of high technology was present.
