Let you be the wall-facer: you turn around and join the Three-Body Problem?

"In that case, you can rest here for a while. I will bring Bai Bing to see you later."

Chapter 274 Fake Transaction

After arranging matters concerning No. 3, Lin Xuan immediately notified all the senior officials of the Academy of Sciences. Of course, the Lin Party in the Geographical Union was also included.

The issue of the megastructure blueprint had a huge impact. Even Luo Ji, who had always been indifferent to development, was present this time. It could be said that this was the first time that all members of the Lin Party were present.

"We are all family, just be casual."

Lin Xuan sat in the first seat, flanked by the current president of the Geographical Union, Luo Congmin, the president of the Academy of Sciences, Ding Yi, and Wang Miao and Wei Cheng from the Engineering Department.

Counting from behind, Bai Bing, Bi Yunfeng, Cao Bin, Zhang Xiang...

Unknowingly, the Lin Party has gathered so many people. Even if Lin Xuan is not here, the voice of these people in the Earth Alliance alone is enough to influence the fate of the entire human civilization.

"I won't beat around the bush. You should have already learned what happened from Luo Congmin before coming to the meeting. Number Three wants to make a deal with us, but it's more of a test."

Before coming, Lin Xuan roughly recounted to everyone the content of his meeting with No. 3, but he blurred some details.

At this moment, Taylor, who was sitting at the corner of the table, suddenly raised his hand.

"I have a question, Mr. Lin Xuan. We still know very little about the observers. Can you provide us with some more valuable information?"

When Lin Xuan heard this question, she fell silent.

"Not yet. There are some things I cannot tell you. When you need to know, I will tell you."

Lin Xuan felt miserable.

Damn it, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, it’s that I don’t know either!

Haven't I told you everything I know?

In order to fool the Trisolarans, Lin Xuan casually agreed to be an observer, but he didn't expect that such a casual lie would actually come true.

Now he couldn’t get rid of his identity as an observer even if he wanted to.

Just like the Wallfacer's smile, he now understood Taylor's despair too well. Even if he ran to the street and said that he was not an observer at all, no one would believe it.

However, he did not dwell on this issue too much. This identity had both advantages and disadvantages for him. At least it helped him hide the bigger secret of the system.

"I've seen the design, and it should be correct. No matter what conditions the other party proposes, we won't be at a disadvantage."

Wang Miao took a sip of hot tea and turned his gaze to Lin Xuan.

"So, what are number three's conditions?"

Lin Xuan was stunned when she heard this and looked at Luo Congmin beside her.

"You didn't tell them what the terms of the exchange were?"

Luo Congmin shrugged his shoulders and his eyes stayed on Bai Bing who was distracted not far away.

"Brother, I think it's better for you to talk to them in person. I really don't know how to start."

When everyone heard this, they also noticed Luo Congmin's strange look, and they all followed Luo Congmin's gaze and looked at Bai Bing.

Bai Bing was stared at by so many people at once, and instantly felt very uncomfortable.

"Why are you all looking at me? Could this matter have anything to do with me?"

Bai Bing's level of transparency in the Lin Party is second only to Taylor. If he hadn't been hanging out with Ding Yi every day, no one would even remember this person.

If Lin Xuan hadn't called everyone together for a meeting this time, Bai Bing would never attend the meetings on weekdays.

As a result, not only did he come this time, but he was also being stared at by so many people at the same time. For some reason, Bai Bing had a very bad premonition in his heart.

"No way? It really has something to do with me? Brother Lin, don't tease me, I have nothing. If you want to make any deal, I will definitely support it with both hands!"

"Really?"

"of course it's true!"

Bai Bing became more and more confident as he spoke. Although he was much better than ordinary people in the field of neural networks, he was nothing compared to the people present, so he was so fearless.

But Bai Bing never expected that what No. 3 wanted this time was not something from Bai Bing, but him as a person.

"Huh? You said that the deal offered by No. 3 is to second Bai Bing?"

When Ding Yi heard the news, his expression was one of shock and anger.

What surprised him was that the person who was to be seconded to No. 3 was actually Bai Bing?

Bai Bing is his student, and he knows exactly what this student is capable of. This is also what makes him angry.

The other party specifically asked for the most common Bai Bing among so many scientific researchers. Isn't this rubbing their faces in the ground?

At this moment, everyone finally understood what Luo Congmin's strange look meant before, and even Bai Bing herself thought she had heard it wrong.

But there was only one person in the audience who seemed to be thinking about this matter.

Luo Ji knocked on the table, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and then he slowly spoke.

"I think this matter is a bit wrong, and we may even lose money."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eyes to Luo Ji, waiting for his next speech.

"Based on Lin Xuan's description, No. 3 is not completely ignorant of the situation on Earth. On the contrary, he knows a lot about each of us. But even under such circumstances, he still offered the trade conditions of seconding Bai Bing. There are only two possibilities."

Luo Ji said this, slowly extending two fingers.

"First, he wants to befriend Lin Xuan, and the so-called secondment is actually just an excuse. But this statement is obviously problematic. If I were him, the person who should be seconded should not be Bai Bing, but me."

"In terms of potential contribution to future human development, among all of you present here, only Taylor and I have made the smallest contribution. If we are seconded, our impact on the development of the Earth Union will be minimal."

Taylor, who was standing by, felt warm in his heart when he heard Luo Ji's words.

Sure enough, at the critical moment, there is still someone who can remember me, Taylor, but why do I feel like he is scolding me for being useless again?

"The second possibility is that Bai Bing has something we don't know about, or potential abilities. Think about Yun Tianming. Before the implementation of the Ladder Plan, he was just an ordinary college student. He didn't even pass the postgraduate entrance examination after graduation."

"But now, he has become the 13th Archon on his own and even commanded the Second Fleet. It would be unreasonable to say that this is not the stimulation of his potential."

"We can't hand Bai Bing over, at least not before we understand the consequences of doing so."

When everyone heard the words, they were thoughtful.

It seems that Luo Ji's statement makes sense.

No matter what, Bai Bing is also a member of the Academy of Sciences.

Regardless of whether he is willing to be traded or not, the hidden consequences of handing the other party over are unknown.

Moreover, Bai Bing's main job in recent years is to be responsible for the Mewtwo server, which is Lin Xuan's core technology.

Once the information in the Mewtwo database is leaked, the consequences will be disastrous.

But everyone looked at the giant blueprint on the table with excited eyes.

Once this thing is missed, the construction of the ring world will be a long way off. Who knows when it can be completed? Maybe by that time, the attack of the Dark Forest may have arrived one step ahead.

Just when everyone was silent, Luo Ji spoke again.

"I have a suggestion. Maybe we don't really have to lend Bai Bing to each other."

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Xuan.

There is no need for much words when smart people communicate. With just one glance, Lin Xuan understood what Luo Ji meant.

He wanted to pretend to be Bai Bing and go back with the other party.

The scene suddenly fell into a strange silence. Just when no one knew how to continue the topic, Zhang Xiang suddenly spoke.

"Brother Lin, if you don't come back, will I not have to cook for you anymore?"

Everyone:...

Lin Xuan was helpless and let out a long sigh.

"Zhang Xiang, if you want, I can beat you right now so that you won't be able to cook for the rest of your life."

Chapter 275 Guide

"Lin Xuan, are you sure this plan is okay?"

Luo Congmin stood up and helped Lin Xuan tie his shirt. Looking at the completely unfamiliar face in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Don't worry, nothing can happen. If I can't come back, wouldn't it be more dangerous to let Bai Bing go?"

Lin Xuan turned around and waved her hand to activate the dressing mirror embedded in the wall. Looking at her face in the mirror which was almost exactly the same as Bai Bing's, she nodded with satisfaction.

Luo Congmin reached out and poured the water in the cup beside him into the sink, and made another cup of coffee for Lin Xuan.

"You know that's not what I'm worried about. You're too important to the entire Earth Alliance. I'm afraid..."

"Didn't you guys live well without me before?"

Lin Xuan directly interrupted what Luo Congmin was about to say.

"It's no big deal, Congmin. You should know that the unknown will make us more passive. This time, it is in our best interest for me to pretend to be Bai Bing."

"The experiment is still going on. Some people want to stop it, but some people want to continue it. For us, it is not a question of who to trust, but we will never be able to sleep peacefully unless we completely kill the other observers."

Luo Congmin said nothing. She knew that Lin Xuan's decision was extremely correct for the entire human civilization, but the only person he felt sorry for was himself.

"Don't worry, this matter should not be as dangerous as it seems. The quantum channel has been established. If there is any need, I will contact you at any time."

"But after I leave, the development speed of the Earth Union cannot slow down, otherwise when I really need your help one day, you won't be able to help me even if you want to."

Luo Congmin knew that what Lin Xuan said was the truth, so she didn't make any extra promises. She just nodded silently and kept the other party's advice in mind.

The two of them set off quickly. According to the location agreed with No. 3, Lin Xuan met No. 3 who had been waiting there for a long time.

When they met this time, No. 3 put on his mask again. When he saw Lin Xuan, disguised as Bai Bing, getting out of the car, he took the initiative to step forward to greet her.

"Where's that kid Lin Xuan? Didn't he come with us?"

"Something happened in the underground city of Luocheng, so Mr. Lin Xuan couldn't get here in time, so he asked me to bring the person to you."

As Luo Congmin explained, he quickly looked up and down at No. 3 in front of him.

These were the only two observers she had ever seen besides Lin Xuan.

Luo Congmin thought he could find some similarities between the other person and Lin Xuan, but he was still a little disappointed.

The only similarity between him and Lin Xuan is that No. 3 is equally ordinary. If you throw him into a crowd, you can't even tell that he's an observer.

But Luo Congmin believed that as an observer, she should be able to recognize Lin Xuan at a glance, so she did not ask anyone to pretend to be Lin Xuan to send the person off, but went there in person.

Instead of creating a fake Lin Xuan, it is better to just make an excuse and say that he is not there. This way it is less likely to arouse the other party's suspicion.

"L.A. underground city?"

Number Three seemed thoughtful.

"If I remember correctly, the location of this Earth's guide is right there. Could it be that there is a problem with the guide?"

"Guide, what is that?"

Lin Xuan, who was pretending to be Bai Bing, quickly captured the key information in the other party's words and directly asked about her inner doubts.

This was the real reason why he wanted to impersonate Bai Bing. No. 3 obviously knew a lot about the observer, but as an observer, he was embarrassed to ask the other party, as it would easily expose his identity.

But it’s different when pretending to be Bai Bing. If Lin Xuan has any questions, she can ask them directly without any scruples. It’s so cool.

"The guide, you should have seen this thing. It's the diamond-shaped metal structure buried underground. This thing was built on Earth by your observers."

"But this facility will have to wait until the final experimental stage before this thing will come in handy."

Number Three's words stopped here, and he did not say what the specific purpose of this guide was.

But Lin Xuan was already content to get this information. He had previously thought that the thing under the underground city of Luo City was the remains of some ancient civilization. Now it seems that this thing was built by himself?

Fortunately, I was smart and did not ask the other party using Lin Xuan's identity, otherwise, wouldn't I have been exposed directly?

But Luo Congmin, who was standing by, was full of questions when he heard this explanation.

"A facility built by the observer? Do you mean that this thing was built by Lin Xuan?"

"Of course, he didn't tell you?"

Number Three looked at Luo Congmin strangely, while Luo Congmin looked at Lin Xuan pretending to be Bai Bing strangely.

"I didn't say it. I guess I forgot about it!"
