Chapter 39

Hmm...

Tonight is settled.

Seeking flowers, seeking ratings.

34. The correct usage of 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's because of overwork, or because of thinking of something.

Or both.

"You thought I was lying to you? Although thinking about it now, that statement did have some ambiguity, but thinking carefully, it seems there's nothing wrong with it." Lin Qi replied.

"Shut up."

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

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 you go in from the big side again, you will continue to shrink. If you want to recover, just walk through it the other way."

"Is it that magical?"

Topaz looked at 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.

Enlarging objects has some arguments.

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.

"Haven't tried the limit, the smallest time, it reached the nanometer scale." Lin Qi replied.

"Nanometer scale? Is it that it can't be smaller, or for some reason you didn't continue?"

"Because the tunnel is too long. Every time I shrink, the distance to pass through to the other end of the tunnel increases by an order of magnitude. Do you know how long I took to pass through this tunnel at the nanometer scale? Three days!" Lin Qi complained, "And this is just one way, returning requires another trip! Do you think I dare to shrink again?"

Topaz suddenly realized, and 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 micro scale, the effects of many curiosities cannot be maintained." Lin Qi explained.

"Alright, I understand."

"Then are you still investing?"

"Humph, it depends on what kind of investment you are talking about." Topaz looked at Lin Qi provocatively.

Lin Qi immediately understood. It seems she is not interested in the shrinking tunnel, but still has some thoughts about the "curiosity" on him that makes things bigger.

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

"Listen."

"A person decided to invest in the future, a friend asked him how to invest, he said overdraw his credit card, do you get it? 'Investment' and 'overdraft' are homophones, making people unable to help but laugh~"

"Shut up!"

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

"Wait."

Lin Qi took a door out of his dimensional pocket.

"This is the second experimental version of the Anywhere Door, it's much stronger than this one on the Luo Fu. Take it for self-defense, if you encounter any accidents, just run away."

"Giving it to me?"

"Uh-huh~"

"You are sensible."

"Haha, I'm afraid that if there is really any danger, don't let Numby run away while 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 and left the shop.

Watching Topaz walk away.

Lin Qi was thoughtful.

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

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

If nothing happened to her, 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 some curiosity that assists in combat, it's better to give 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 new research.

He felt that this prop still had great research value, and its usage still needed to be developed, not to mention the timeline as far as a few years or even decades later.

Even if it can only capture a few hours later, it can be used to seek good fortune and avoid evil.

At this time.

Lin Qi was using the Future Camera on himself.

From one hour to one day, then to one month, he recorded once every period of time to see if any accidents occurred.

And when the timeline reached three months later.

Lin Qi saw something different.

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

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

It looks like stockings, but it's actually armor.

It can resist planet-exploding attacks from the side without any pressure.

So.

The only thing that can cause battle damage to Xueyi is extremely high-intensity combat.

Not to mention involving an Emanator, at least it would be possible only if besieged by multiple powerful Pathstriders.

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 is not that troublesome, it's just that Xueyi can't handle it."

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

But the Future Camera may not be completely correct.

And it may 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 photos again.

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

But the results taken again made Lin Qi frown.

"Hmm? It's exactly the same?"

"Is it that this camera calculated that I would change and predicted the result in advance, or..."

"It can 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?】
