Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

"I understand. So, Zhao Qianwen's criteria for recruiting new people is whether they have made mistakes or experienced setbacks. This professor probably wouldn't consider letting people with a high sense of happiness join the organization, right?"

"Correct!"

Given this, the situation has become complicated, and the issues they need to consider may have different implications.

Next, it's time to get to know Zhao Qianwen better. To find out the truth, Chen Tianfei decided to go to his teacher's house in person.

"I'll go with you this time."

Jiang Chuan said with a smile.

"it is good!"

So the two of them set off, but Captain Liu secretly followed behind them this time, which suggests that the situation was not simple.

When Jiang Chuan arrived at Zhao Qianwen's home, he was quite surprised. This scientist, who was so accomplished, lived such a simple life, and many of the things in her home were old objects.

Even this house looks like it's been lived in for over ten years.

"My goodness, I never expected such a brilliant professor to live here. To be honest, if you'd like, you can move to our base, or I can arrange a villa for you."

"First of all, thank you for your kindness, Mr. Xu. I'm used to living here, and look at these kids behind me, they're used to staying here too."

The appearance of these children shocked Jiang Chuan even more. He thought to himself that perhaps Zhao Qianwen was using this method to train children to join that evil organization.

"By the way, what brings you here today?"

"Here's the thing, we've received some news about the main world (which can be understood as the key world setting). I remember that you once published a paper about parallel worlds. Could you discuss it with us at this time?"

Everyone was shocked to hear this.

What exactly happened? Do they simply lack the capability to do so? Or has the situation reached a point of no return?

"Hey!"

Although the truth is still unclear, judging from Zhao Qianwen's reaction (the original text incorrectly used "Zhao Wenqi," which is corrected here), she is definitely trying to cover it up. If I'm not mistaken, the paper about parallel worlds and these current suspicions are indeed true.

Moreover, Jiang Chuan was very good at reading people. Through such a short conversation, he was certain that Zhao Qianwen was the biggest mastermind behind everything.

"Alright, let's not say any more. I think you two came here to ask about signals from different worlds. I can tell you that this is indeed within the scope of my previous research, and I can tell you definitively that we did have exchanges when these radio waves appeared, but these exchanges were all conducted under their official arrangements."

"comminicate?"

Jiang Chuan was shocked upon hearing this.

"You mean this kind of communication between different dimensional worlds?"

“That’s right. We started to understand different worlds in a rather primitive way. We didn’t intend to send coordinates, but our communication was very smooth. I even think that we had already learned some things about these higher-dimensional worlds, and at the same time, our science and technology began to advance by leaps and bounds during that period.”

Chen Tianfei was shocked upon hearing this.

"Wait a minute, so did the knowledge I gained in college also come from that period?"

"That's right!"

Zhao Qianwen nodded in confirmation.

Chen Tianfei was in a state of turmoil. He never expected that the scientific and technological knowledge he had always been so proud of was not something that humans had created independently at this critical moment.

"We simply learned about their technology in this way, and then innovated and improved upon it, which led to our current science and technology, including the artificial intelligence we are currently developing in depth, which is actually directly related to them."

"Wait, speaking of artificial intelligence, I'm reminded of something. I heard that a company recently developed a product, and the final conclusion was that it would eliminate humanity."

Jiang Chuan felt increasingly uneasy; there were just too many problems arising around the world.

“You’re right, I don’t care how humanity develops now. But I can tell you clearly that the impact of this on everyone may be immeasurable. You need to be mentally prepared, because in the end you may find that we simply don’t have the ability to continue, because we humans are too insignificant.”

Hearing Zhao Qianwen say this, Jiang Chuan began to worry. According to this woman, she was clearly dissatisfied with the current state of society.

Perhaps she took in so many children to train them to join the organization and serve the beings of higher dimensions.

“Like these children, they receive no help in this society. They are either abandoned or orphaned. That’s why I’m raising them here and trying my best to make them feel warm.”

This brings us to a connection with the topic of student financial aid that Chen Tianfei mentioned earlier.

On the way back, Chen Tianfei remained silent. He truly hadn't expected that his teacher harbored such sinister intentions behind this act of charity.

"Boss, to be honest, thinking about it now, I'm really scared. I never expected the situation to be like this."

"Hey!"

This is a very frustrating situation. They don't know how long this situation can last, but what is certain is that they don't have many chances left.

"Alright! Life goes on. At least we've identified our enemy: beings from a higher dimension might launch a new invasion against us. They may also be incredibly advanced, and the progress organizations that have emerged on Earth might even be related to them."

So, the key issue now is that we must first destroy this organization on Earth.

Therefore, the specifics of this elderly professor become crucial. If she doesn't speak, the organization will never surface. But what is certain now is that Jiang Chuan must continue to explore this complex situation in order to find a breakthrough.

In fact, Zhao Qianwen is very calm now, and she doesn't need to think too much about the various events that have happened before.

"I just have a question: my teacher has always been so glamorous, why would she do something so inhumane? I really don't understand."

"Alright! You're just getting started, and your research in the scientific field hasn't reached the top level yet. So there's no point in thinking about it too much. What you need to do now is to cheer up as much as possible and get closer to the truth step by step, understand?"

Since this scientist's matter was so thorny, the final outcome was predictable. After all, all they could do now was wait. They returned to the secret base, and the matter of Zhao Qianwen remained a mystery. But one thing was certain: this woman was definitely a core member of the Progressive Society, though her specific responsibilities were currently unclear.

“I think countries around the world may take some action to promote progress, so if I’m not mistaken, this ‘game’ may be coming to an end.”

With that, General Huang Tianfei led them to a very spacious conference room. It turned out that an international organization was already operating there.

When these generals from around the world saw Jiang Chuan, everyone was shocked. This heavyweight figure had finally begun to venture into this field.

“From today onwards, you will also have your own place here, but you don’t need to come often, because I know you have more important tasks to complete now.”

Actually, today is just a meeting for Jiang Chuan.

He began to realize the seriousness of the situation; if he were in that position now, he would have to get to the bottom of everything regarding the Progressive Association.

So, he took this opportunity to return home and started playing the game with Xu Jiajia.

This time, when they stepped into the game world again, they were met with a host of imminent spaceships. However, what was puzzling was that these spaceships did not seem to have any immediate intention of launching an invasion.

"In fact, what you see before you may be our final destination. We are currently searching for a true place to settle down, and that place is very likely to be Earth. But for some reason, a division has arisen within the leadership, and two factions are arguing fiercely. Their positions are very clear: one faction advocates direct conquest, while the other believes that we can coexist with you."

Jiang Chuan suddenly realized at this moment.

It turns out that the reason why humans can still live so comfortably is because the debate between them has not yet been resolved.

"Hey!"

The guide seemed quite annoyed.

"Actually, it's not that complicated. Whether it's invasion or coexistence, it requires tacit cooperation between the two sides. Besides, the last invasion from the fifth-dimensional world also showed that you humans have considerable strength, which is really a headache."

"and many more!"

Jiang Chuan was shocked to hear this.

How did you know about the fifth-dimensional world invading us?

"That's because that invasion was a staged event we orchestrated ourselves. That fifth-dimensional world simply didn't possess the strength to contend with us. We just wanted to see how you would respond when faced with an army more advanced than your civilization!"

"you?"

Jiang Chuan was shocked once again, never expecting such a conspiracy to be hidden behind this. No wonder the people of the fifth-dimensional world were so foolish as to dare to launch a direct invasion against them.

Since the failed invasion of the fifth-dimensional world, this debate has become even more worrying. One group believes that if things continue this way, Earth may very well defeat them again.

Thus, two factions emerged.

"Three months have passed now, and the two factions still have not reached a consensus, and there is even a tendency for internal conflict to break out."

"Conflict? On this planet?"

"That's right. The world we live in now, like yours, is also called Earth. But our Earth is not stable. Everyone is worried that if a war really breaks out, it might trigger crustal movements and lead to a devastating disaster?"

The reason for the delay in taking action is precisely because the Earth is currently in a relatively stable period, allowing everyone to live and work in peace. However, competition between the two sides could potentially disrupt this fragile balance.

"Our weapons are extremely advanced, and the consequences would be unimaginable if war broke out. The atomic bombs used by you humans are simply insignificant compared to our weapons."

Jiang Chuan now fully understood; it seemed that this higher-dimensional world had indeed reached a more dangerous level. However, neither side had yet made a final decision.

He realized that continuing to linger in this game would be pointless. So, he decisively quit the game and took Xu Jiajia directly to Huang Tianfei.

"You mean they haven't invaded because they haven't figured out how to proceed internally?"

"Yes! So our time is really running out. If the invaders ultimately defeat the moderates, we will face a true catastrophe."

After hearing this, Huang Tianfei suddenly had an idea.

"What if we could win over the support of the moderates? That is, do everything we can to reach an agreement with them, and we humans could directly extend an invitation to them. After all, they have said they would coexist with us, and their science and technology can indeed be of help to us. Wouldn't it be better if we both developed together on Earth?"

"Absolutely not!"

Xu Jiajia immediately shook her head.

"This is tantamount to playing with fire and getting burned. First of all, our human civilization is far from reaching that level. If we introduce such high technology into our world, and someone as greedy as Jones appears, it could trigger a new war. If another world war breaks out, it will not be good for anyone."

This is precisely Xu Jiajia's biggest concern right now. Moreover, they don't yet have a clear strategy on how to deal with this war.

"Then what do you suggest we do? Are we just going to keep resisting? Are we going to force the moderates into war?"

Although the specifics of the invading faction are not yet clear, a division has emerged within the Progressive Society on Earth.

Moreover, the current level of conflict is in no way inferior to that of the higher-dimensional world.

"Therefore, the best approach right now is to race against time, find the biggest weakness of the higher-dimensional world as soon as possible, and then do everything we can to solve it."

"no!"……

Just then, Huang Tianfei suddenly remembered something.

"I remember one of our archaeologists unearthed an ancient text that said prehistoric humans foresaw a great war we would wage against beings from a higher dimension, and those beings were definitely not from the fifth dimension. So, they left behind four arsenals, and we've found two of them so far, right?"

Jiang Chuan was shocked to hear this, not expecting that Huang Tianfei also knew about this matter.

"That's certainly true." (End of Chapter)
