Bengtie: A Genius's Out-of-the-Domain Idea

Pinocchio's Sunday symbolizes the internal order of harmony, and itself symbolizes a second echo.

His help on Sunday stirred up ripples again, creating a third layer of resonance.

Two different sources of third resonance worked simultaneously, and coincidentally, a harmonic tuning was taking place on site.

Thus, these two echoes were integrated, jointly triggering the second and first echoes, creating even greater ripples.

Then the rhythm of order intensifies, and the above process is repeated continuously, forming a chain reaction.

When the robin cries out, "The soul with three faces."

Whether the harmonious "Hipe" responded is unknown, but the three intertwined echoes of "Order" did respond.

Is this some kind of hellish joke?

Lin Yi thought about it more and more and felt that this possibility was very high, but now was not the time to talk about it. The tuning had already been interrupted, and it would be too late to say anything now.

Now is the time to respond to expectations.

"Miss Robin."

Lin Yi sheathed his sword and called out the robin's name in a serious tone.

"Hmm? Mr. Lin Yi, is there something you need?"

The robin, who was worrying, was interrupted by Lin Yi's voice.

"Although it was interrupted by an unknown accident, I still want to thank you for taking the risk to perform this tuning."

The robin did not take the gratitude for granted; instead, it felt that it was something it should do.

Robin: "This is what I should do. Helping the weak is what family members who practice the principle of harmony should do."

The robin: "If I hadn't come, the people on this planet would probably be in great danger, wouldn't they?"

Robin: "Unfortunately, it still failed, and I am unable to re-tun it in a short time."

The robin felt a little guilty. If it had been more capable, or if its brother had been there, the outcome might have been different.

Lin Yi refuted the robin's attitude.

Lin Yi: "You can't say that. There is no good deed that should be done, and there is no risky act that should be taken for granted."

Lin Yi: "My hometown has two ancient stories, one is called 'Zigong redeems people' and the other is called 'Zilu receives oxen'."

Lin Yi: "The story goes like this: One day, Zigong met a fellow countryman who was a slave in another country. He spent money to redeem the man's freedom."

Lin Yi: "According to the laws of that country, Zigong can go to the local government to reimburse his expenses and receive a generous reward."

Robin: "So he didn't go to collect it?"

Lin Yi: "Yes, he believes that one should not be concerned about gains or losses when doing good deeds."

Lin Yi: "And his teacher criticized him severely, telling him—"

Lin Yi: "Although you are not short of money, you should still collect the money you are entitled to. Otherwise, if someone who is not as wealthy as you encounters the same thing in another country, should he or she rescue his or her countrymen?"

If he is saved, should he claim the reward he deserves? If he does, he will be criticized for his actions, given your precedent. If he doesn't, he will have to spend his own money, and not everyone is as wealthy as you.

If this continues, everyone will be hesitant, and no one will be willing to do good deeds.

Lin Yi: "Zigong was filled with shame after hearing this."

The robin: "This teacher is truly a wise man of great insight."

The robin admired the teacher's wisdom.

Lin Yi: "Yes, in my hometown, for a long time he was regarded as a symbol of wisdom, a wise sage."

Lin Yi also affirmed this.

The robin used this example to jokingly flatter Lin Yi.

Robin: "Have you now become the symbol of wisdom? A learned and wise genius?"

Lin Yi: "It wasn't me. I became a genius after I left my hometown. In my hometown, I was just an ordinary person."

Robin: "I see~ I can't imagine a genius being just like an ordinary person."

Lin Yi: "What's so unimaginable about that? You've never met Stephen. He's always been helping out at his adoptive father's shop. Nobody knew he was a genius."

Robin: "Is that so? These secrets, let alone me, probably don't even exist outside of the Genius Club."

Robin: "However, no matter how wise this teacher is, he can't possibly compare to a genius."

Lin Yi shook his head.

Lin Yi: "This sage enlightened the people and promoted education when civilization was still in its infancy. The times are different and they cannot be compared."

Robin: "The other story should be the opposite, where the protagonist helps others and then accepts the reward he deserves?"

Lin Yi: "Yes, since you understand what I mean, I won't go into further detail."

Lin Yi stroked the sword.

Lin Yi: "The topic seems to have gone off track. The original intention was to express my gratitude."

"Miss Robin, thank you for your adventurous assistance, and thank you for providing the secrets about order and harmony."

"Again—"

"On my own behalf, I owe you a favor, and you can use that favor to make a request of me."

"This favor is very valuable~ 'Shenxiao Space City' has issued a unique incentive currency—points."

"The highest prize that can be redeemed with points is a chance to ask me a question, which is worth 1000 points. Unfortunately, no one has accumulated enough points to get it yet."

"Since I haven't banned buying and selling, the current value of one point seems to have been inflated to 16.75 billion credits by the company. However, those who are capable of acquiring points won't lack these credits."

Robin: "A favor? That's really precious!"

The robin instinctively covered its beak with one hand to stifle its gasp.

Lin Yi gripped the scabbard and handed it towards the robin.

Lin Yi: "Let this sword serve as a token. If you ever need anything in the future, you can send me a message or bring this sword to Space City."

"If you encounter any danger, just draw your sword and kill me, and I will know."

Lin Yi even made a joke.

"Although it can't compare to the Jade Oath of the Immortal Ship Alliance, where the fleet and support arrive as soon as the message is sent, the efficiency of this information transmission is still quite high."

Chapter 51 Elio tears up the script, the cat goes crazy

"This...this is too precious!"

Before she even flew there, she saw Lin Yi waving the Heavenly Wisdom from the sky.

"Don't worry~ This sword is just a token, not a gift. Once you've used up this favor, I'll take it back."

Little did they know that Lin Yi harbored another thought in his heart.

'I've taken this sword too, its defense is weak enough, right? Kakamo, why isn't he here yet? You can't be a thief for a thousand days and guard against thieves for a thousand days.'

Heaven knows how shocked Lin Yi was when he discovered the butterfly that Aha had pressed down on Silver Branch's "Rare and Precious Ship".

Despite appearing calm on the outside, he was still panicking inside; there was no way around it, Polka's record was just too amazing.

It was only after Zhu Xing became the Envoy of Pleasure that Lin Yi regained a sense of security.

This sense of security is probably the real gift that Aha gave him.

"So what should we do now?"

The speaker was Zhi Li, and Lin Yi understood what she meant.

"What else can we do? We've done everything we can. We'll just have to accept our bad luck and evacuate the crowd. I don't know how long he'll be intoxicated by this dream, but it should be enough to evacuate the population of this planet."

"Then everyone went back to their own homes and their own mothers. This order continued to resonate, and even if a new fellow traveler was found, he couldn't do anything about it."

"I just got thrown over here by Silver Wolf and I just witnessed an interesting scene~ Looks like I came at just the right time~ Would you all be interested in hearing what I have to say?"

A mature female voice rang out, and Lin Yi looked in the direction of the voice. A purple figure came into view; it was Kafka.

Dongfang Qiqing: "Star Core Hunter?"

Lin Yi: "What's the Star Core Hunter doing here? There aren't any Star Cores here. Oh wait, that guy has a crippled one on him. What? Is the Star Core Hunter interested? If you're interested, then take it yourself, no one's stopping you."

Kafka seemed not to hear him, and smiled at Lin Yi as if nothing had happened.

Kafka: "Elio said that when I meet you, I should first tell you my troubles, and that's also written in the script."

Kafka: "Since 14 years, 10 months and 27 days ago, Elio has torn up countless scripts by hand. I have seen him go crazy alone in his room many times, with scraps of paper everywhere on the floor."

Lin Yi: "That's interesting~"

Kafka: "The script for Elio says that as long as you say the above words to his face, he will be able to gain your trust. It seems that it is true. The script is still exactly as it was."

Lin Yi had also considered the fact that Elio knew his origins.

Through the power of the end, Eriol is able to know the future without error.

But before Lin Yi arrived at the Collapse Iron City, he wasn't part of the future of this universe. Theoretically, he was outside this system, and Eriol's prophecy shouldn't have included him.

But when Lin Yi came to this world and participated in the interaction of matter and energy, his influence was added to the predetermined future.

Even if the ripples he creates are small, on a vast scale of time, the interference with the distant future is undoubtedly enormous.

Rewriting the script became inevitable.

Of course, the above is just Lin Yi's conjecture. There is even another possibility—regardless of whether Lin Yi came or not, he has been observing Elio's future from beginning to end.

This is a possibility that Lin Yi is unwilling to consider.

Lin Yi: "It seems that the predetermined future has changed. Tell me first, how many copies of the script did that cat tear up?"

Kafka immediately replied, "Thirteen thousand seven hundred and sixty-two copies, a considerable number, isn't it?"

Kafka spoke calmly, as if she were stating an insignificant number. After all, she wasn't the one writing the script, and Elio's frantic reaction was still quite amusing.

Upon hearing this enormous number, Lin Yi fell silent for a moment. This meant tearing up the script almost every four days.

Lin Yi: "I can understand why it went crazy. I would have gone crazy too. It has perseverance, really. Go, kitty! (?o?o)?"

Lin Yi gave a thumbs up.

"But since it started rewriting the script at that point in time, it means it knew everything. Why didn't it come to me all these years, but came today instead?"

Kafka explained with elegance and composure: "Because today is important in Elio's script. And for the future that Elio is striving for, you are not the most important."

Kafka: "'Although his presence made everything go more smoothly and the margin for error was higher.' This is Elio's original quote."

Lin Yi: "I want to see Elio. He should know what I want to ask."

Lin Yi thought for a moment and decided that instead of having a middleman as a messenger, it would be better to ask the person directly, which would also avoid the risk of information distortion.

Kafka: "Elio said it would arrive 2 minutes and 17 seconds after you asked the question."

Lin Yi: 6, there's a cheat code, even the salt isn't salty anymore.

Lin Yi started the timer.

Lin Yi: "I've already started the stopwatch. What else did Elio's script say?"

Kafka: "Now, everyone here, we will meet again at the Pinocchio Harmony Festival."

Lin Yi: "Impossible, absolutely impossible. That guy's existence has been severely diminished. He couldn't possibly live that long."

Lin Yi checked the latest data again.

Lin Yi: "He can only live for another 3 hours at most, or do you have the ability to reverse the loss of his life?"

Kafka: "Of course that's impossible. If we could do that, the Chaos Doctor would have come knocking on our door long ago. That's roughly what Elio said, but I don't know the specifics. You can ask him when he arrives."

Lin Yi also wanted to confirm the current timeline: "How many Star Core Hunters are there right now?"

Kafka: "Four people."

Lin Yi: "Huh? Four people? Who's missing?"

Kafka: "What do you mean, who's missing? Me, A-Ren, Wolf Baby, Sam, they're all on the wanted posters."

Kafka took out four wanted posters and showed them to Lin Yi.

Seeing Kafka using the wanted poster as her ID card, Dongfang Qiqing silently thought, "6!"
