Activate!_3 [Invitation to the Genius Club].
Even today, it was what he most wanted and was most eager to obtain.
He wanted to join the Genius Club.
To et that so-called group of geniuses,
to understand their purposes and principles,
to solve the mysteries and confusions in his heart,
and to see what roles Huang Que, Copernicus, Jask, and Kevin Walker really played in it.
...
Beyond that.
to determine whether the Genius Club…
was friend or foe!
Coming back to his senses, Lin Xian rembered that Brother Wang just ntioned double happiness about the bank.
The qualification approval was the first joy.
But what was the second joy?
“Brother Wang.”
Lin Xian asked:
“You just ntioned double happiness, so what’s the second joy regarding the bank?”
“Haha, I haven’t even gotten to that yet.”
Indeed, a dream he had cherished since childhood was about to be realized, coinciding with the New Year; Brother Wang was truly happy, his laughter incessant:
“The second joy is…
after running around countless factories and consulting many experts, even using large equipnt and spending a fortune, the 266 Hafnium Alloy Combination Safes were finally delivered!”
“Ah, this was no easy feat.
Initially, I looked for many institutes and factories that couldn’t take on this task.
The manufacturing process for hafnium alloy is exceptionally troubleso; it’s not sothing that high temperatures and press machines can solve—this material is just too hard and durable…
Therefore, it required the use of so special stepwise alloy manufacturing techniques to complete, and there are no more than five institutes and factories in the entire country that can manage this technology.”
“So, I guess…
we might be the only bank in the world willing to use hafnium alloy for making safes.
Many people think it’s unnecessary to make a safe so extravagantly fortified, but who told us to be Tem Bank?
We are committed to keeping our clients’ Ti Capsules safe for decades, even hundreds of years, and I think that stable, reliable, and wear-resistant hafnium alloy is the most suitable choice!”
“Moreover, I’ve always thought that electronic devices are unreliable, especially over long years—they’ll always face the issues of running out of power, getting damaged, and so on…
Our safes are ant for storage of several decades to a century, so an electronic combination lock is definitely not suitable.
That’s why I specifically hired a Code Expert to design the eight-digit combination lock!
All the components were forged from hafnium alloy; it’s extrely complex in structure and virtually impossible to crack in a short ti.
It’s very secure!”
“Hahaha, because all of this has been my dream for so many years, I’ve spent quite a bit of money on these details, and I hope you won’t bla …
I just wanted to perfect every aspect of Tem Bank.”
“In any case, the on-schedule delivery of 266 Hafnium Alloy Safes excites even more than all the procedures, qualifications, and licenses!
I got so excited today that I took lots of photos; I sent them to you via WeChat to check out, Lin Xian!
For a nice, auspicious number, I engraved your na directly onto the naplate of Safe Number 66, and this Hafnium Alloy Safe…
it’s yours forever!”
Said and done.
Brother Wang’s voice grew softer.
He must have taken the phone away from his ear, ready to select photos from his album to send to Lin Xian.
Ding dong.
A WeChat notification sounded.
Lin Xian also held the phone before his eyes, opened WeChat, and viewed the images sent by Brother Wang.
The first pictures were taken from a distance, showing neatly stacked Hafnium Alloy Safes filling the room.
Soon.
They were to be embedded into the concrete walls of the Tem Bank’s vaults.
Once in place…
it was for 600 years.
Lin Xian zood in on the photo.
Every safe was gleaming silver, clean and new.
Exactly like the ones he had seen in his dreams, inducing nostalgia in Lin Xian…
This was truly an indescribable feeling.
The Hafnium Alloy Safe that had haunted his dreams for so long, he never expected that after vanishing from the future world for so long, he would encounter it again in the reality of 600 years prior!
It was as if from another lifeti, montarily causing him to lose grasp on which side was real.
Lin Xian looked at the last photo sent by Brother Wang.
It was a close-up of a Hafnium Alloy Safe, the entire photo filled with a safe reflecting the bright incandescent light.
So familiar!
This was the safe he had longed for!
He zood in on the image.
In the center of the Hafnium Alloy Safe’s naplate, his own na was engraved—
[Lin Xian]
in a font identical to the one from his dreams.
And just below the naplate, lined up in a row were 8 combination dials—old friends!
At this mont…
Even with ntal preparation,
but as this mont truly arrived and he saw his own safe again after traversing 600 years of space and ti, and when all the passwords and the control of Tem Bank were about to be dominated by him, Lin Xian couldn’t help but feel his heartbeat accelerating, clutching his palm tightly.
“See, Lin Xian, isn’t it cool!”
Brother Wang’s laughter ca over the phone once more:
“Because the structure of this combination lock is extrely complicated, once the code is set, it can never be changed.
No helping it, safety and functionality are always in conflict.
I chose this lock sche for absolute security, impossible to breach.”
“Of course, it can be cracked by brute force.
An eight-digit code has 100 million combination possibilities.
Even if one tries a combination per second, 24 hours a day without stopping, it would take over three years to crack…
Unless our bank goes under, such a situation is impossible.
You can’t let a thief stay in the warehouse for three years without being discovered, right?”
After proudly introducing the combination lock, Brother Wang sniffled and asked:
“By the way, Lin Xian, what kind of code do you plan…”
“to set?”
