Wallfacing Was Impossible

After receiving Trisolaran World's clear stance from Sophon, ETO convened a new meeting.

Besides the routine mission to assassinate Luo Ji and the wallbreaking missions targeting the other Wallfacers, there was also the matter of Lin Feng.

Lin Feng had once again brought up the 007 Work System in the news and even proposed "blessings." The ETO members were furious enough to grind their teeth.

You could hardly blame them. Some of them had jobs in real life too.

If work intensity rose to 007, who could stand it?

In the eyes of the ETO members, this was Lin Feng's provocation—he did not know where ETO was hiding, so he would strike at All Humanity instead. After all, there had to be ETO members among those who suffered.

"Damn it! We have to keep doing 007? What kind of joke is this?!"

"Looking at it overall, we failed. Feng Taylor is still a Wallfacer. We miscalculated too much this time, lost one of our members, and even made the Lord suspicious of us."

At the mention of Trisolaris, the ETO members fell silent. They had never expected Sophon to react with such agitation. It showed that they had inadvertently crossed a red line Trisolaris had drawn for them.

"At least... Feng Taylor's plan to turn All Humanity into quantum ghosts cannot be carried out."

Someone brought up their achievement this time. Although they had not brought down the Wallfacer, they had stopped the Wallfacer Plan. All Humanity had also become wary of quantum ghostification and Ball Lightning, while Feng Taylor, who had proposed it, had been completely removed from the Macro-Electron Storage Plan.

The plan to turn the entire world into quantum ghosts was now utterly impossible—at least, that was how the ETO members saw it.

"What use is it if it can't be carried out? He has other plans!" Qin Shi Huang snapped.

Through his connections, Qin Shi Huang had learned some information leaked from the upper ranks.

Originally, he had felt that even if this was not a major victory, it at least counted as a minor one. Yet Wallfacer Feng Taylor actually had other Wallfacer Plans.

Moreover, judging from the way he had spoken of it, the global quantum ghostification plan appeared to have been nothing more than an insignificant experiment—a trial run after becoming a Wallfacer.

When the United Nations, which had intended to remove Lin Feng from his post and seize control of the Macro-Electron Storage Plan, heard this, it immediately pushed Lin Feng back into the position of Wallfacer.

After all, the Macro-Electron Storage Plan could not guarantee a hundred percent that it would defeat the Trisolaran Fleet. In the United Nations' view, the more Wallfacer Plans there were, the better.

As long as human lives were not endangered, they could do whatever they wanted.

"What? He has other Wallfacer Plans too?!"

The ETO members were all stunned. Because they had assumed from the start that Lin Feng had only one Wallfacer Plan, they had never obtained intelligence from Sophon.

Meanwhile, because Trisolaris could not determine whether Lin Feng was telling the truth or lying, it had planned to wait until he revealed his plan to the outside world before having ETO act.

This made Qin Shi Huang the first person in ETO to learn of the news.

"No one ever said a Wallfacer could only have one Wallfacer Plan! Otherwise, after the United Nations took control of the Macro-Electron Storage Plan, why would it still keep Feng Taylor? Wouldn't simply removing him or killing him outright be easier?"

Qin Shi Huang was becoming somewhat exasperated. He had assumed that, if not everyone in the organization knew about this, at least most of them did.

Yet he was the only one who knew something this important!

"Then what are Feng Taylor's other plans?" Beethoven asked.

Qin Shi Huang shook his head. "He has not revealed his plans to anyone yet. All we can do now is wait."

Beethoven pondered for a moment before suggesting, "How about... we assassinate him?"

Qin Shi Huang was tempted by the proposal, as were the other ETO members.

In the end, Einstein shook his head and answered.

"Do not consider it for now. The organization's strength is far from what it once was, and Feng Taylor's security level is extremely high. He is not worth making the organization pay that kind of price. We must preserve some strength to deal with Luo Ji. That is the Lord's primary mission for us."

"Hmm, a new plan... a new plan..."

"My head hurts. I have no idea where to start."

Leaning against the sofa in his home, Lin Feng rubbed his brow.

Worried that the United Nations would discard him once he had outlived his usefulness, Lin Feng had hinted that he possessed other Wallfacer Plans immediately after handing full responsibility for the Macro-Electron Storage Plan proposal over to the United Nations.

The Macro-Electron Storage Plan was merely a plan he had put forward as a trial. Compared to the other plans he had supposedly thought of, it was not worth mentioning at all.

But that had been pure bluff. Plans were not so easy to come up with. Lin Feng had been thinking all morning and still could not find a direction.

"Forget it. If I can't think of one, I just won't think about it."

"Yeah, that settles it."

He had already done everything he should. Whether it was employment or Macro Electron energy storage, they should save many people during the Great Depression. He might as well give himself a break now...

With that in mind, Lin Feng rose from the sofa and stretched lazily.

He had already done all he could by creating jobs during the Great Depression. As for whether people would still starve to death or whether famine would still break out, Lin Feng could not be bothered to care.

After all, those rabble had been ready to take his life not long ago. Why should he rack his brains for them and come up with some way to solve everything?

"But... what should I do? Travel around the world? Climb Mount Everest? Go see the pyramids in Egypt? Watch the aurora in Antarctica? Pick up girls in Hawaii?..."

"Forget it. It's all dull and boring. I'm already sick of all that."

Lin Feng sighed. Rich people's lives were just this dull and boring. There was barely any room for choice even when deciding where to have fun, unlike poor people, who did not even understand how vast the world was.

Suddenly, an idea surfaced in Lin Feng's mind.

"Oh, right! There's still the Three-Body Game!"

The Three-Body Game had once been used by Trisolaris to recruit anti-human elements among humanity.

Now, the official VR gear had banned the game. Unless one had modified VR gear, normal VR gear bought from stores could no longer log in.

Using his Wallfacer authority, Lin Feng easily obtained a modified set of VR gear from the CIA and logged into the game.

He entered the Three-Body Game's website, arrived at the registration screen, registered the ID "Passerby A," and officially entered the game.

What greeted his eyes was a thriving scene. Birds chirped amid fragrant flowers, grass and trees flourished, and beneath his feet lay a road paved with stone bricks. The stone road stretched forward toward buildings of every kind, both Chinese and Western in style.

Lin Feng stood on a narrow path connected to a bustling market street. Crowds flowed back and forth, and clothing from different eras of human history could be seen everywhere, as though time and space had become tangled.

"So this is the Three-Body Game? It's not quite what I expected," Lin Feng muttered.

"And what did you expect it to be like, Passerby A?"

Following the voice, Lin Feng saw a girl dressed in ancient Han clothing, holding a skewer of candied hawthorn in her hand.
