Dialogue with the Future

After listening to Bai Fusheng's account, Feng Qi gained a deeper understanding of Wang Jinsheng.

Although he was once ridiculed by those around him, he didn't let his edges be smoothed out and change. Instead, he changed how those around him saw him.

His excellence and humility always influenced the people around him.

Becoming excellent oneself can rely on talent and effort, but being able to make those around you excellent requires kindness, empathy, and the integrity he always upheld.

Old Wang clearly had the talent to surpass everyone in his generation, yet he never had a sense of superiority. He treated his classmates with a gentle and humble attitude, and approached his studies with determination and independence.

He felt that someone like Old Wang should be the protagonist in a novel.

Feng Qi suddenly felt very fortunate to be Old Wang's student and to have received Old Wang's education.

If it weren't for Old Wang's influence, even if he had gained the Future Dream, he might not have been willing to shoulder this responsibility.

The conversation with Bai Fusheng made him admire History Teacher Wang even more.

Just then, Lin Ran also finished his lecture. Enthusiastic applause erupted around them, and Lin Ran calmly nodded with a hint of swagger. Then, he turned and looked at Feng Qi, flashing a bright smile.

"Feng Qi, this is my contact number. If you have any problems within the academy, you can come find me." At this moment, Bai Fusheng smiled and handed over a business card. Then, he stood up and walked out of the classroom.

Feng Qi took the business card and lowered his head. When he saw the introduction on the card, his mouth twitched.

Star City Academy - Principal: Bai Fusheng.

Holy cow!

After walking out of the classroom, Feng Qi was still a bit stunned.

He hadn't expected his Grandmaster to have such a prominent background, being the current Principal of Star City Academy.

Thinking of Bai Fusheng's earlier questions, he suddenly understood what Bai Fusheng meant.

It was clearly an attempt to keep him at Star City Academy.

"Brother Qi, how did you feel about today's lecture?" Lin Ran interrupted his thoughts at this moment, smiling as he looked at him and asked.

"Absolutely amazing!" Feng Qi, having come back to his senses, gave a thumbs-up.

"Do you think there's anything that needs improvement?"

"I don't know much about Art Method Studies, but I think you are very talented in Art Method Studies. The concept of the Seal Incantation Stream is enough to create a brand new stream of art methods. As long as you keep working hard, you will definitely be remembered by history!"

"Hehe, I also think the Seal Incantation Stream is enough to create a brand new stream of art methods. I will delve deeper into this area and refine it later, but I won't give up on researching cultivation methods. That's my dream."

Hearing these words, the smile on Feng Qi's face froze.

"I think you should continue to specialize in Art Method Studies. You are very talented in this area, so don't waste it."

"Maybe I also have talent in Cultivation Method Studies, I just haven't deeply engaged with it yet, so it hasn't shown. How would I know if I don't try? While I'm young, I should be brave enough to try, so I don't regret it when I'm old."

Feng Qi: ...

Facing the inexplicably confident Lin Ran, he was speechless.

But he knew that Lin Ran was indeed in a state of "regret" when he was old. From then on, he never again stepped into the fields of cultivation method research and art method research, and eventually died in depression.

"I think you should still consider my suggestion. A person's energy is limited. Trying to develop both Art Method Studies and Cultivation Method Studies might lead to nothing. It's better to firmly follow the path of art method research."

Hearing these words, a thoughtful expression appeared on Lin Ran's face.

After a moment, he nodded solemnly:

"Brother Qi, what you said makes a lot of sense. I've decided, I'm going to start learning Cultivation Method Studies right now."

"That's not necessary at all, I haven't finished yet. What I actually wanted to express is that a genius like you might be able to excel in both art methods and cultivation methods. How would you know you can't if you don't try? Go for it!"

Lin Ran: ???

After having lunch with Lin Ran and Mu Qing at noon, Feng Qi returned to the dormitory.

In the afternoon, he had arranged to go to the Academy Library with Lin Ran to study, but before that, he decided to do something more important.

Plan his future.

In the previous few times entering the Future Dream, he had discovered a few characteristics of the Future Dream.

In fact, every time he entered the Future Dream, he didn't create a new timeline. Only when he returned from the Future Dream each time would a brand new timeline be derived.

Simply put, every time he entered the Future Dream, the real him didn't disappear. He just lost the ability to enter the Future Dream, and time would continue to roll forward, eventually becoming the history that could be viewed in the Future Dream.

So every time he entered the Future Dream, he was arriving 1500 years later on this timeline, not creating a brand new timeline.

And when he returned to reality from the Future Dream, time stopped. In fact, a brand new timeline was created, connecting with the time before he left, and the subsequent historical trajectory also changed accordingly.

Therefore, he felt that he must utilize this point to prepare something for his future self.

After a moment of contemplation, Feng Qi took out his notebook and began to write.

Now, each entry into the Future Dream required about a million in cash.

So he felt that entering the Future Dream must aim for maximum efficiency, not just meaningless monster grinding, leveling up, and recording cultivation methods.

As he continued to write, three pieces of information that Feng Qi left for his future self were added to the notebook.

1. If possible, provide me with an account for the Star City Database. This would be a great help to me.

2. Try to investigate the Scarlet Institute, then record this information in a way you think can be transmitted to me, so I can access it in the database.

3. If you cannot resolve the crisis that you and I know about, try to cooperate with the state, reveal everything you know to the state, and let the state intervene to resolve it.

These three messages left for himself were crucial for Feng Qi.

Due to lack of access, every time he entered the Star City Database, he was unable to view the locked information and cultivation methods above five stars.

But if he could get an authorized account, his gains from entering the Future Dream Realm each time would greatly increase.

However, he didn't hold much hope for this.

Because the construction of the Star City Database was hundreds of years after this timeline, by then he should have already died young, unable to participate in the construction of the Star City Shelter, let alone obtain an authorized account within the shelter.

But he still wanted to try, maybe it would happen.

The second point, investigating the Scarlet Institute, was because he felt there was something wrong with the Scarlet Institute.

This research institution was very likely still conducting Rune Modifier experiments that had long been banned, which might be the key factor leading to Mu Qing's betrayal of humanity.

The third point was related to Lin Ran and Mu Qing.

They were the "crisis" mentioned in Feng Qi's records.

If everything was bound to happen, and he on this timeline couldn't stop it, he hoped "himself" could seek help from the state, inform the state of everything he knew, and let the state intervene to resolve it.

If the series of problems caused by these two "historical scourges" could be resolved, the future would surely undergo earth-shattering changes.

After noting down the three messages, Feng Qi closed his notebook, created a private email account online, and then clicked on a shopping website to spend 880,000 to purchase a Twilight Wolf Rune Crystal.

Having done all this, he began to look forward to the changes in the future.
