Chapter 170 The Most Outrageous Answer
Chapter 170 The Most Outrageous Answer
Lin Xuan was speechless.
He didn't know how the Trisolarans connected him with Cheng Xin, but it seemed that every time Cheng Xin appeared, people would ship Lin and Cheng as a couple.
Indeed, being obsessed with love is terrifying in any civilization.
Moreover, Cheng Xin is at least ten years older than him. People say that marrying a woman three years older brings good fortune, but I'm practically handing over the world, aren't I?
Lin Xuan became a Wallfacer during her freshman year of college. At that time, Dr. Cheng Xin had graduated for two years, and Luo Ji was about seven years older than Cheng Xin.
If Lin Xuan were to analyze things in the same way as the Trisolarans, she could write a book on the subject.
Let's call it "Youthful College Students Who Extend Their Graduation Won't Meet a Virgin Female PhD".
Seeing that Lin Xuan remained silent for a long time, Zhi Zi couldn't help but chuckle.
"I never expected that you, as an observer, would also have a human side. I was quite surprised when I first came up with this result. Now it seems that you and Mr. Earth are both interesting people."
"I'm so funny, you motherfucker!"
Lin Xuan cursed inwardly.
Your analysis is so off-topic it's practically nonsensical. You've just picked the most absurd answer from all the options.
However, upon closer reflection, Lin Xuan could probably understand.
In this life, Yun Tianming doesn't have much affection for Cheng Xin, so as the Fairy Tale Ruler, he probably rarely reveals his interest in Cheng Xin to the Trisolarans.
Aside from Yun Tianming, wouldn't he be the only one in the world who is most concerned about Cheng Xin's movements?
Theoretically, it makes sense, but in reality, it's a completely different story.
After all, the Trisolarans had no idea that their intense interest in Cheng Xin stemmed from her potential to destroy the world.
If we look at this issue from the perspective of the Trisolarans, isn't it just like a god observing a mortal from afar?
"Whose love do you think you're accepting? The love of a god!"
"Damn it, it seems that no matter how you look at it, the Trisolarans have indeed made the most logical deduction. The problem lies with themselves!"
However, Lin Xuan quickly caught a key piece of information in the other person's words.
Earth star.
This name has never been mentioned in either the original Three-Body Problem storyline or other main storylines.
If we rule out the possibility that the Trisolarans are deliberately bluffing us, then only one guess remains.
This person named Dixing should be another observer that the Trisolarans came into contact with.
There is no doubt that the Trisolarans had contact with the Observers before.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have mistaken themselves for observers.
The question now is, how much information about the observer has been revealed to the Trisolarans, or in other words, whether the Trisolarans are aware of their existence?
Lin Xuan quickly calculated all the possibilities in her mind.
First, Earth did not stay in the Trisolaran world for long and has already left. Because of the knowledge sealing principle, it is unlikely that he would reveal too much information to the Trisolarans.
This is the most advantageous situation for me, so all I need to do is continue to deceive the Trisolarans.
The second possibility is that Earth is still in the Trisolaran world and knows him, or rather... is the original owner of this body.
Lin Xuan had previously guessed that the original owner of this body might be somewhat special. After all, judging from Shi Qiang's memories, he was already a Wallfacer before Lin Xuan transmigrated here. So if they met Earth later, Lin Xuan might have to fool one more person. Although this situation did not have much of an advantage for him, with his skill in deception, Lin Xuan could completely control the situation.
The worst-case scenario is the third possibility: Earth is still with the Trisolarans, and the observer is someone else. As soon as the two sides meet in the future, the other side can directly expose her false identity. At that time, Lin Xuan will immediately suffer retaliation from the Trisolarans.
But that's okay.
Looking at the system, Lin Xuan still had over ten million shock points left, more than enough for her to exchange for a warp drive spaceship and escape the moment her identity was exposed. She could then conveniently broadcast the coordinates of the Trisolaran and Earth civilizations, causing everyone to die together.
Like I said before, at worst I'll just use cheat codes.
With the system backing him up, Lin the conman never worries about his scam being exposed.
You saw through my scheme?
Very well, then I will now use physical means to persuade people with virtue.
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan pretended to be deep and tentatively asked.
"You've seen Earth?"
“I met him once. He was a very strange middle-aged man. He mentioned you, otherwise we wouldn’t have ordered ETO to try to win you over,” Zhizi said with a slight smile.
"Beautiful, the first possibility!"
Lin Xuan secretly rejoiced. "Since that's the case, don't blame me, the great conman Lin, for deceiving you."
With such great offers, how could I not scam you guys? That would be betraying the persona I created before.
Lin Xuan suddenly transformed into an Oscar-winning actress, her eyes revealing a hint of nostalgia for her old friend.
"I want to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and carry wine with me, but it's a pity that I am an old friend..."
“Mr. Lin Xuan, there’s no need to be too sad. We can understand your feelings for humanity. After all, you’ve been observing humans since the primitive era. Essentially, we are just trying to find a way to survive. In the end, there is no conflict of interest between us.”
Tomoko still smiled kindly.
"As for your feelings for Ms. Cheng Xin, we can respect your wishes and make her the next Swordholder after the Trisolarans arrive on Earth. What do you think?"
"no!"
