"Alright, easy there, my old bones can't take such a strong grip," Alan Turing laughed, patting Wang Zheng's shoulder. "You did a great job, even better than I expected."
Wang Zheng had ordered five extra-large pancakes, all with extra toppings; his appetite had always been large.
In fact, during this time, Wang Zheng had already made a guess. The only scientist today who could possess such broad knowledge was Alan Turing!
Wang Zheng looked up Alan Turing's information and found that he had disappeared ten years ago, which was also the time when Alan Turing appeared here.
"Old Jia, what's really going on? I have a lot of questions. What the hell is that Rubik's Cube?"
Old Jia smiled, "It's just a Rubik's Cube, and it chose you!"
What Old Jia said next left Wang Zheng speechless.
After escaping the Galileo star domain, Old Jia originally planned to go to Norton, his hometown. However, he encountered a space-time disturbance. There were too many such disturbances near the Galileo star domain, and even fleets had to be cautious, let alone a small, erratic spacecraft. He thought he was doomed, but the Rubik's Cube, which had been immobile like scrap metal for years, suddenly activated and completed an incredible long-distance spatial jump.
When Earth appeared before Old Jia, he was stunned.
Guided by the Rubik's Cube, Old Jia found Wang Zheng, who was just a little kid at the time.
This was Old Jia's destiny, guided by some unseen force.
Old Jia was also unfamiliar with Earth, but he quickly fell in love with it. As a top scientist, his understanding of the universe had reached a whole new level. During his time on Earth, he felt a different kind of power, something that could only be seen when science reached its limits.
Throughout history, many scientists were initially materialists, but as their research deepened, many began to study fate. They explored whether the natural laws governing the universe had consciousness.
This consciousness was not the small consciousness of humans but a greater consciousness, a god, or fate.
Years of research had driven Alan Turing into a state of madness and obsession. To study the Rubik's Cube, he made significant contributions in physics and excelled in other fields, truly a great figure who could change history. However, due to the existence of the Rubik's Cube, he never unleashed these powers.
After coming to Earth, Alan Turing spent a long time pondering his own destiny.
To become the greatest scientist?
If he wanted to, he could easily achieve it, but that couldn't be called destiny.
During this period of reflection, Wang Zheng appeared before him, and the Rubik's Cube reacted. Looking at this mischievous young man, Alan Turing suddenly understood.
People are the essence.
Existence is reasonable. The appearance of the Rubik's Cube, the appearance of this child, and his journey from the distant Galileo star domain to here—none of this could be mere coincidence.
Wang Zheng's parents were also peculiar people, a family that clung to ancient traditions. They claimed to be a once-glorious Wang family, and Wang Zheng was the 81st generation. Of course, this was just their claim, as the Wang surname was very common.
Wang Zheng knew his father was always trying to fool people, but what he said unintentionally opened a door in Alan Turing's heart, showing him his path.
Wang Zheng listened to Old Jia's grandiose talk. If it weren't for the Rubik's Cube, he would have thought Old Jia was a master con artist, incredibly persuasive.
Am I the one who can change the world's fate?
The world is doing fine; what does it have to do with me? Besides, those days of individual heroes saving the day are long gone. The vast Galactic Alliance governs a massive interstellar population, which is very different from the old days when Earth, the Moon, and Mars were the only concerns.
Not to mention, the Zago race still exists, as invincible as cockroaches, hard to eliminate, but have you ever heard of humans being destroyed by cockroaches?
Now, the Zago race is just a target for human extermination. The limit of humanity is the universe.
This wasn't just Wang Zheng's view but the view of all humans.
Alan Turing understood Wang Zheng's doubts, but without his age and experiences, how could one understand the meaning of life?
"Kid, you have good taste. Aina is a great girl, and she suits you well."
"Hey, old man, are you stalking me? Didn't you go on a trip?"
Wang Zheng said.
Old Jia smiled, "You have things to do, and so do I. You do your thing, and I'll do mine. Without going into details, if you want to marry Aslan's princess, you need to work harder."
Wang Zheng scratched his head, "Old Jia, am I just dreaming, but I really feel that if I try hard enough, I can make it."
Old Jia waved his finger, "You're wrong. You are the most special existence in this world. Liking anyone isn't just a dream!"
This might sound arrogant coming from anyone else, but he was Alan Turing, once the pinnacle of the world.
"Actually, only you know your future. My role is to help you and share my experience. What you and Xiao Fei did was great."
Wang Zheng chuckled, "Old Jia, that's how I guessed who you were. I need to save up for a dowry."
"Hehe, that's not enough. You don't need to worry about these things; I'll take care of them. Just focus on what you want to do."
He took out a storage device, "This contains the subsequent equations. Take them out step by step."
Wang Zheng was a bit embarrassed, "Actually, with your status, publishing these theories could make the world recognize you again."
Old Jia smiled, "At my age, I don't care about those empty titles. Besides, the events ten years ago taught me the rules of the game. These years, I haven't been idle, just running a failing bookstore."
As a genius of the S-grade, once Old Jia realized his purpose, he became incredibly formidable, especially with resources in the Galactic Alliance.
Old Jia also had his doubts. When Wang Zheng told him about the Rubik's Cube's changes, Old Jia was also stunned. Being able to shock a world-renowned super-scientist, Wang Zheng felt a bit proud.
Wasn't this fate?
For him, success or failure was no longer important. Witnessing the dawn of a new era was enough.
"Don't mention this to anyone else."
"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. By the way, you sold the house, where will you live?"
Wang Zheng asked.
"I have a lot to do. Just in case, I'll contact you."
Wang Zheng could confidently pursue his goals, but Old Jia had to be cautious.
A versatile genius warrior would be sought after by all countries, but with him in the background, things would be different if discovered.
Old Jia came and went quickly, leaving after giving Wang Zheng some instructions. Wang Zheng was elated, finishing all the pancakes. At his age, he longed for family. After a period of confusion, Wang Zheng's goals became clearer, and he gained confidence.
However, Old Jia's habit of teasing didn't change. Just as he was about to leave, he turned back, "That girl, Ye Zisu, is also great."
Wang Zheng was speechless at this old gossip.
While Wang Zheng and Old Jia discussed future plans, Lin Huiyin's concert reached one climax after another. Her songs were familiar to young people, previously attracting mostly girls, but "NOTAFRAID" brought her many male fans.
When the gentle singing suddenly stopped, and a War God One appeared on the big screen, the entire audience froze. Everyone knew what was coming next: retro rap and dynamic dance moves, a significant leap for Lin Huiyin.
Flames burst forth as a massive War God One descended from the sky, and the audience erupted. The cockpit opened, and Lin Huiyin slid down the ladder in a military uniform, looking stunning.
In the video, the War God One was even more powerful.
"I'm not afraid to take a stand."
As soon as Lin Huiyin started singing, the entire audience joined in a chorus. The song was filled with defiance and rebellion, young dreams and passion, the voice of countless young people. Everyone waved their hands wildly.
"Everyone can take my hand."
"Everyone wants to follow me."
"We'll walk this road together, through storms and rain."
"Whatever it is, cold or heat."
Yan Xiaosu and An Mei were also in the audience. An Mei was dressed provocatively, radiating youthful energy. The two held hands, jumping and dancing. Beside them were Ye Zisu, Meng Tian, Du Qingqing, and the Wolf Pack of 007. Everyone, usually elite, danced freely.
Yao Ailun, known for his elite and high-end image, was dressed in a very casual and relaxed outfit, moving like a snake, with a surprisingly good rhythm. The all-rounder Yao Ailun lived up to his reputation.
The tickets weren't arranged by a rich person but by the beautiful Ye Zisu. It was a pity that Wang Zheng didn't come.
"NOTAFRAID" brought the concert to its peak, but it also signaled the end. The audience was reluctant to leave, as no one knew when Lin Huiyin would return to Earth.
As the dance ended and everything quieted down, the lights dimmed, suggesting that this wasn't the end, but...
