Scholar's Advanced Technological System

It was a possibility that happened one day in this universe formed by countless possibilities…     

However, even though there were countless possibilities regarding the future, there was a high chance that one thing would happen.     

After he was released from his final mission, Lu Zhou finally enjoyed a long vacation that belonged to him.     

That was a special prize that belonged to the person who cleared the level. It was fate's reward to the victor.     

Compared to the ending.     

It was more like the start of another new story…     

...     

On the Milky Way colonial ship headed for Tau Ceti.     

At this moment, in the captain's room, Lu Zhou sat at his desk and tried to remember how his immature self treated people a hundred years ago. He looked at Chen Yushan with a smile.     

It was Xiao Ai's suggestion to treat her with the same attitude as when they first met.     

Since she would occasionally think of some blurry memory fragments, it meant that her memories had not completely disappeared. They were just sealed in a certain corner of her brain.     

As long as he acted as much as possible as he used to a hundred years ago, she would always remember a little about him.     

Although Xiao Ai was not a professional doctor, this suggestion was indeed very useful.     

Furthermore, Mengqi also agreed with her.     

According to her, the doctors at the hibernation center had encountered similar situations where couples used old-fashioned frozen dormancy equipment to travel to the future together. One of them had no memory of his or her partner because of the aftereffects. If their partner tried to wake them in a violent way, it could lead to unexpected trouble… such as memory dislocation or permanent memory loss.     

To be honest, this was the first time Lu Zhou was shocked by something without any scientific basis. After all, this price was too heavy for him.     

Therefore, when he showed the ring to Chen Yushan and found that she had no impression of it at all, he didn't plan to be straightforward anymore.     

However, the headache was that he had to suppress the feelings that were about to overflow from his chest after so long, while recalling all the things that had happened when he was with her…     

Although he had boasted in front of Mengqi that he would be the one to chase her sister, he honestly didn't know how to do it.     

What should he do?     

Perhaps it was because he was too nervous, but the corner of his mouth that was smiling beyond his control seemed a little strange through the steam produced by the tea.     

Sitting in front of Lu Zhou, Chen Yushan felt a little embarrassed.     

This did not mean that she disliked him.     

She could vaguely sense that this gentleman was someone very important in her memory, but she could not remember anything about him.     

Out of politeness, she sat upright with her usual grace, cleared her throat, and reminded him gently.     

"Mr. Lu?"     

Hearing the gentle voice, he suddenly came back to his senses. He seemed to have left Chen Yushan sitting there alone for a long time, so he coughed and spoke.     

"I'm sorry, I've been thinking about my opening line…"     

Chen Yushan suddenly felt that the reckless captain in front of her was a little cute. She couldn't help but smile.     

"It's fine. The moment I saw you, I felt that you were a very important person in my memory. You definitely won't hurt me, right?"     

He looked at her playful smile and was lost in his memories. His Adam's apple moved slightly as he nodded solemnly.     

"Of course."     

Chen Yushan said happily.     

"Then just tell me."     

Lu Zhou nodded slowly.     

"Well… I asked you to come over today mainly to talk to you about how to get your memories back."     

He spent about half an hour describing the memory recovery plan that he and Xiao Ai had developed together.     

Simply put, it was to create more memories together and then subtly connect them to the lost memories.     

Would it really go so smoothly?     

In fact, Lu Zhou also suspected that this plan was too rash. However, since he had already made his choice, there was no way out.     

Of course, in order to make his request sound less strange, he used very euphemistic words.     

However, for some reason, Chen Yushan's face was still slightly flushed.     

"So—"     

Chen Yushan rubbed her fingers and said, "You want me to enter that virtual world and… date you for a day?"     

As soon as she finished speaking, before Lu Zhou could express his surprise, two voices sounded from behind the bookshelf.     

"Tsk…"     

"Ah!"     

The tea in his mouth ultimately hit the floor.     

However, it was not because he was frightened by the two peepers he had discovered long ago, but purely because the water was too hot…     

Xiao Ai.     

Was the water too hot?     

"Ahem! You misunderstood…" He put down his teacup and wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue. He tried his best to explain, "This is… part of the treatment plan."     

Well, did she have to use such straight words? Dating… was something that would be arranged a long time later in that plan.     

At least until she remembered their experience at the cinema—strictly speaking, it was their first date.     

However, her choice of words was not wrong.     

Lu Zhou's suggestion was to enter the virtual world that Xiao Ai created based on her own memories and experience a very realistic super stimulating memory together to activate the sleeping memory section.     

Simply put, it was to give her a big surprise.     

Let's see if it would jog her memories.     

Xiao Ai was the one who came up with the bad idea. As for the location and event, the first thing Lu Zhou thought of was the legendary Rice Flower Town—the paradise of murder, the sea of fear, the beginning of all the bloody and cruel stories, the famous roller coaster murder!     

He hadn't watched many horror movies.     

However, the black figures in a certain detective show[1. referring to Detective Conan] had more than half of his childhood trauma.     

When Lu Zhou thought about how Chen Yushan was trembling in his arms and how she would remember their first movie together, he couldn't help but smile because of this perfect plan.     

Rubbing her head, Mengqi was the first to rush out. Her face reddened, and she angrily said, "No, no, you, you're taking my sister's safety as a joke… What if it's too stimulating and further damages her already damaged memories?! I don't agree!"     

She didn't scare Lu Zhou, but before Lu Zhou could state that he had obtained the doctor's permission, Vera, who had always been obedient, objected with a serious expression.     

"That's right!"     

Vera's voice was soft but unusually firm.     

"I don't agree either… What if something happens?"     

At this moment, the two of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with tacit understanding, although this tacit understanding only lasted for two seconds.     

"Unless…"     

"Unless you take me with you!"     

"!! Me too…"     

"Let me make this clear first. I'm not messing around. This is a treatment plan with scientific basis and the opinions of professionals…" Lu Zhou covered his forehead with a headache. However, there was interest on Chen Yushan's face.     

"It feels quite interesting…" She put her index finger on her lower lip and smiled. "Why don't we go together?"     

Meeting that pair of bright eyes, he could no longer retort.     

Lu Zhou nodded.     

"Okay..."     

...     

An hour later.     

At an amusement park in a certain virtual world.     

A handsome man with a scholarly aura between his brows knelt on one knee in a way that was unfit for his image. He pursed his lips fiercely under the gazes of the people coming and going in the amusement park.     

The three beautiful ladies stood beside him, their eyes filled with worry.     

The dramatic scene turned the noisy playground into a fantastic backdrop for their story.     

Finally, when everything around him slowed down, the man who was kneeling on one knee finally lowered his head. His lips finally opened slowly as they trembled.     

"Urgh—"     

The stream of vomit that flew down turned into a colorful mosaic on the orange-red tiles. Because it was a virtual world, Xiao Ai mischievously censored it for him.     

However, Lu Zhou couldn't understand why he was dizzy from roller coasters.     

He was a man who had gone to Mars on an old-fashioned spacecraft!     

And this was in the virtual world…     

"Are you... Okay?"     

Chen Yushan's face was full of worry. She reached out her right hand to pat his back, but her hand was grabbed.     

Her brain went blank for a moment, as if it was stuck.     

Lu Zhou took a deep breath and forced a smile on his pale face.     

"Don't worry, Chen Yushan. I'll take you and Sense of Balance down together… Blargh…"     

I can't do this anymore.     

Just as he recited that line, he could not help but retch again. It was not until his vision spun that he vaguely remembered that it was a little inappropriate to use the word 'take down'.     

Perhaps it was more appropriate to use "retrieve" or "wake up".     

Damn Xiao Ai.     

Another bad idea!     

"Ah!"     

The surrounding pedestrians suddenly exclaimed.     

All the LED screens in the entire amusement park began to play special effects similar to fireworks. Various lines of words rolled on the screens that were almost like light pollution.     

All in all.     

The atmosphere was quite good.     

A relaxed smile appeared on Lu Zhou's face. He didn't think Xiao Ai's idea was so bad anymore.     

Chen Yushan's face turned red and her breathing became unstable after she came back to herself.     

The colorful words on the screens were imprinted in her pupils, but her consciousness was still stuck in the previous minute, her mouth opening and closing.     

"Wait, wait…"     

"What do you mean by taking down?"     

She felt that the man in her memory… did not seem to be such a person.     

Actually, Lu Zhou was a little suspicious too.     

Was he really that good at flirting a hundred years ago?     

However, he trusted Xiao Ai's judgment. Perhaps it was just that he rarely realized the charm that he inadvertently emitted.     

But wait a minute, why did the background music suddenly ring??     

Moreover, wasn't it too straight to play the "Wedding March" at this time??     

And why were there suddenly lawns and flowers on the ground?     

Cancel them already!     

At this moment, Lu Zhou was cursing vigorously in his mind. He anxiously called out to Xiao Ai in his heart, but he heard an excited voice.     

"Master, Master! How's Xiao Ai's assist? Hurry up and say that!"     

The voice was a little too excited.     

As if afraid that her master would forget, Xiao Ai thoughtfully handed him a note that only he could see.     

When Lu Zhou saw what was written on the note, his face turned red.     

'F*ck… How can I say that!'     

He heard an innocent voice in his ear.     

'Eh, eh, eh? Didn't Master say that… he's willing to do anything to help his beloved Chen Yushan regain her memories?'     

'Of course… Even if it's a mountain of blades or a sea of flames, even if it's a starry sky that spans 20 light years, I'll still…'     

Xiao Ai: "Then… Can't you even say that word?"     

"Well—"     

Xiao Ai: "Can't you?"     

Xiao Ai's continuous attacks made him clench his fists. A trace of guilt appeared on his handsome face.     

It was true.     

Chen Yushan had already sacrificed so much for him, but he couldn't even say a sentence to awaken her memories…     

The stagnant time began to flow again.     

His Adam's apple bobbed. He looked at Chen Yushan, who was blushing and avoiding his gaze. Xiao Ai urged him to take a step forward.     

"Take down… naturally means to conquer."     

Chen Yushan felt like she heard a mosquito buzzing. Her brain was like a cracked walnut. Her lost memories didn't come back, and her existing memories began to blur.     

Her face instantly turned as red as a lantern.     

Her body swayed slightly as if she had lost her balance. The voice that leaked out from her constantly opening and closing lips was sometimes high and sometimes low. The pitch that fluctuated up and down did not sound like she was talking, but like she was singing.     

"C-Conquer… What, what, what are you talking about? I, I don't understand. Please have some self-respect!!!"     

His impression of Chen Yushan had always been that of a mature, steady, and valiant professional woman. This was the first time he had seen her acting like a little girl.     

For a moment, Lu Zhou was in a daze.     

He shook his head forcefully and allowed his dazed mind to return to its original state. He stiffly continued to recite the line that made him want to crawl into a crack on the ground.     

All of this was to find the familiar her—     

He took a step forward and looked into her eyes while she was retreating like a scared deer.     

"It's like conquering the highest mountain of human intelligence, like conquering unsolved mysteries that no one knows."     

"Un-unsolved mysteries?"     

He looked at Chen Yushan, whose mouth was wide open in shock, and continued to walk forward.     

"…No matter how sturdy that shell is, I will do my best to peel it off layer by layer and save you from the cage of memories."     

Before saving Chen Yushan from the cage of memories, he needed to gain her trust first. It wasn't the kind of trust that was promised verbally, but from the bottom of his heart.     

He believed that he could do it.     

Although this was Xiao Ai's suggestion, it was also his own idea.     

This monologue was also his heartfelt words.     

A miracle had already happened once. It had brought her back to him from the other side of time. He would not pray for another miracle. He would find her with his own hands.     

"…Can you trust me?"     

Chen Yushan lowered her head shyly under his scorching gaze, her cuddly lips making an indecipherable sound.     

"Boohoo…"     

He did not hear it clearly and leaned forward.     

"Huh?"     

She didn't avoid him, but she lowered her head even more. Finally, a soft and barely audible murmur escaped from between her lips.     

"Yeah..."     

"I trust you."     

She had always believed in him.     

Moreover, she did not hold back at all.     

Even if she could not remember anything before hibernation and she almost forgot her name, she still remembered that the man in front of her was a very important person to her. He occupied a lot of her memories.     

The atmosphere between the two of them gradually heated up.     

Xiao Ai, who was hiding in the bush in the amusement park, excitedly muttered, "Change the channel." She fiddled with the abstract remote control in her hand and chose a theme hotel.     

However, at this moment, two murderous gazes pierced through the bush, scaring her so much that she trembled. The remote control fell to the ground and shattered.     

It was like being targeted by Kayako from Ju-on and Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street. The style of the detective film suddenly became distorted.     

Xiao Ai was not the only one who was shocked.     

It was more accurate to say that Lu Zhou, who was in the center of the lightning storm, took the most hit. Xiao Ai only suffered some side damage…     

Lu Zhou turned around and saw Vera and Han Mengqi staring at his nose.     

He, who should have been righteous, suddenly felt guilty for no reason.     

"...What's wrong?"     

Vera gently bit her lips, her eyes filled with tears.     

"Clearly…"     

"I woke up first."     

Before Lu Zhou could react, she disappeared from the virtual world like a TV that had been turned off…     

Han Mengqi glared at him with a red face. Half of her eyes were cold, and the other half were filled with shame and anger. There were also some strange emotions in them.     

For example, the atmosphere.     

Lu Zhou could not remember how he had pissed her off.     

But just as he was about to ask her, Han Mengqi angrily disappeared from the virtual world after calling him a "glib playboy".     

Lu Zhou was muddled.     

He admitted that what he said might be a little embarrassing, but he could only take half the blame. After all, Xiao Ai had designed the lines based on his memory and instigated him. Only the last few sentences were what he wanted to say.     

As for the ending line that Xiao Ai had designed for him earlier, it was simply ridiculous. He could not accept it and rejected it.     

Chen Yushan looked at him carefully. She didn't understand why the blond girl was sad, nor did she understand why her sister said that.     

However, she subconsciously felt that she had let down that familiar yet unfamiliar little girl…     

After hesitating, she asked softly.     

"Lu Zhou, what's playboy?"     

Lu Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry.     

"I..."     

I don't know either!!!
