Chapter 35

Hmm...

Tonight is settled.

Seeking flowers, seeking evaluations.

34. The correct way to use the Future Camera.

The next day.

After the fact.

Topaz tidied her clothes, her expression strange.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qi asked.

"No, you really have such a curiosity? I thought..." Topaz said halfway, her pretty face slightly flushed.

I don't know if it was due to overexertion, or because she thought of something.

Or both.

"Did you think I was lying to you? Although thinking about it now, that statement did have some ambiguity, but thinking carefully, it doesn't seem like there's any problem." Lin Qi replied.

"Shut up."

Topaz gritted her teeth, not wanting Lin Qi to continue.

It's a bit embarrassing.

Lin Qi also changed the subject at the right time and continued, "This is a shrinking tunnel, people go in from the big side and come out from the small side, and along with their clothes, they will shrink. If they go in from the big side again, they will continue to shrink. If you want to restore it, just go through it the other way."

"Is it that magical?"

Topaz examined the tunnel, seeming a bit eager to try.

But she was thinking more about application scenarios.

If it's to save space, space folding technology alone can do it.

Making objects bigger has some points.

Just shrinking, to be honest, there really aren't many places where it can be used.

Unless...

"What is the smallest scale it can shrink to?" Topaz asked.

"I haven't tested the limit, the smallest time, it reached the nanometer scale." Lin Qi replied.

"Nanometer scale? Is it that it can't get any smaller, or is there some other reason you didn't continue?"

"Because the tunnel is too long, every time I shrink and pass through to the other side, the distance increases by an order of magnitude. Do you know how long it took me to pass through this tunnel at the nanometer scale? Three days!" Lin Qi complained, "And that's just one way, returning requires doing it again! Do you think I dare to shrink any further?"

Topaz suddenly realized, then asked, "Can't it be used with space-type curiosities? For example, if you bring the Anywhere Door, wouldn't it be very easy?"

"At the microscopic scale, the effects of many curiosities can no longer be maintained." Lin Qi explained.

"Alright, I understand."

"Then are you still investing?"

"Hmph, depends on what kind of investment you're talking about." Topaz looked at Lin Qi provocatively.

Lin Qi immediately understood, it seems she's not interested in the shrinking tunnel, but still has some ideas about the "curiosity" on him that makes things bigger.

"Yelena, let me tell you a joke, want to hear it?"

"Yes."

"A person decided to invest in the future, a friend asked him how to invest, he said 'overdraw' (touzhi) his credit card, did you get it? 'Investment' (touzi) and 'overdraw' (touzhi) sound similar, it's quite funny~"

"Shut up!"

Topaz said with disdain, "Just say you overdrew and can't do it anymore, what kind of joke are you telling. I'm leaving, okay?"

"Wait a second."

Lin Qi took a door out of his dimensional pocket.

"This is the second experimental version of the Anywhere Door, it's quite a bit stronger than the one on Luo Fu, take it for self-defense, if you run into any accidents, just run away."

"Giving it to me?"

"Uh-huh~"

"You're sensible."

"Haha, I'm afraid that if there's really any danger, Numby runs away and you don't make it, that would be a tragedy."

"Shut your crow's mouth, I'm really leaving!"

Topaz laughed and scolded, then dragged the reluctant Numby away from the shop.

Watching Topaz walk away.

Lin Qi was lost in thought.

While being intimate, Lin Qi used the Future Camera to take a few photos of Topaz, all the way to ten years later.

The results showed that Topaz would be demoted in ten years? She even lost her Cornerstone!

If she hadn't encountered anything, Lin Qi wouldn't believe it no matter what.

Although she looked fine, just in case, Lin Qi still gave her an Anywhere Door.

As a company executive, the opportunities for her to go on the field herself are very few.

Instead of giving her some curiosity that assists in combat, it's better to give her a curiosity that lets her run away quickly.

"I don't know if the images captured by the Future Camera can be changed..."

Lin Qi thought while starting a new research.

He felt that this prop still had great research value, and its usage still needed to be developed, not to mention years, or even decades into the distant timeline.

Even if it could only capture a few hours into the future, it could be used to seek good fortune and avoid disaster.

At this time.

Lin Qi was using the Future Camera on himself.

From one hour to one day, then to one month, he recorded it every once in a while to see if any accidents would happen.

And when the timeline reached three months later.

Lin Qi saw something different.

To be precise, it was Miss Miss Xueyi beside Lin Qi, there was a change in her, her stockings were torn.

You know, the main material of these stockings is not much different from Miss Miss Xueyi's shell.

They look like stockings, but they are actually armor.

Resisting planet-exploding attacks from the side, there is no pressure at all.

So.

Only extremely high-intensity combat could cause battle damage to Miss Miss Xueyi.

Not to mention involving Emanators, at least it would be a siege by multiple powerful Pathstriders to be possible.

Narrowing the timeline a bit more, the target shifted to himself.

"Oh, I don't have any changes, it seems the guy looking for trouble isn't that troublesome, it's just that Miss Miss Xueyi can't handle it."

After comparing the shots, Lin Qi had a rough idea.

But the Future Camera might not be entirely correct.

And it might not be impossible to change.

Out of caution, Lin Qi changed some "variables."

First, it was to test whether the Future Camera could monitor these changes, that is, whether there would be changes when taking pictures again.

Second, it's always good to have more means.

But the result of the second shot made Lin Qi frown.

"Hmm? It's exactly the same?"

"Did this camera calculate that I would change and predict the result in advance, or..."

"Can it only capture one result? That is, one timeline?"

Then.

Lin Qi mobilized resources again, added variables, and experimented repeatedly.

But the photo results were still the same.

Just as Lin Qi was thinking, a message interrupted his train of thought.

【Herta: Are you there?】
