Joy of Life: I am Li Chengze, and I have mastered the Eight Wonders

Chapter 2 Meeting Fan Xian
Li Chengze was full of doubts. He tried to set several different goals, but no matter how he set them, the prompt sound of the system in his mind had no response and there was silence.

"Your Highness, Fan Xian has arrived..."

Just when Li Chengze was studying his mysterious ability but found nothing, Fan Wujiu brought Fan Xian back home.

Li Chengze looked at Fan Xian. He was tall and handsome, worthy of being the protagonist of Joy of Life. His looks were quite high, comparable to his own.

"Your Highness, what do you want from me?"

Li Chengze looked at Fan Xian, who seemed at ease but with a wary look in his eyes, and asked.

"Wujiu, you retreat first and don't let anyone approach here." Li Chengze did not answer Fan Xian's question immediately, but gave orders to Fan Wujiu.

"This..." A look of hesitation appeared on Fan Wujiu's face.

The relationship between His Highness and Fan Xian has completely broken down, and Fan Xian's martial arts are already close to the level of a ninth-grade master.

Without his own guards, letting a prince who doesn't know martial arts be alone with Fan Xian?
"Don't worry, it's okay!" Li Chengze waved his hand to reassure Fan Wujiu.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Seeing Li Chengze so persistent, Fan Wujiu nodded, turned and left.

"Your Highness, what is so important that you can't even trust your confidant?"

Fan Xian didn't say anything extra polite. He just sat down on the chair next to him and poured himself a cup of tea with a playful and curious look on his face.

Li Chengze walked barefoot to the chair next to Fan Xian, squatted down, and spoke while shaking his head.

"Then, who is the second prince? And who are you?"

Fan Xian rolled his eyes and asked impatiently.

Suddenly, Li Chengze looked at Fan Xian and couldn't help laughing.

"Second Prince, what are you laughing at?"

Fan Xian looked at Li Chengze in confusion, wondering if the Second Prince was mentally ill.

"I just thought of a funny joke." Li Chengze put away his smile.

"What joke?" Fan Xian asked curiously.

"Lu Xun once said, 'What does it have to do with me, Zhou Shuren?' I think that's probably what the joke means, right?" Li Chengze looked at Fan Xian with a smile.

The teacup in Fan Xian's hand suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, porcelain shards and tea splashing everywhere, but he didn't care. He stared at Li Chengze in disbelief, his eyes wide open, as if he had seen something incredible.

Lu Xun? Zhou Shuren?

How could the second prince know these two names?

"Why, Fan Xian, do you think you are the only one who has traveled through time?"

Seeing Fan Xian staring at him in shock, Li Chengze asked back with a smile.

Fan Xian did not respond directly, but cleared his throat and asked tentatively: "Odd changes but even remains the same?"

Li Chengze answered casually: "The symbol depends on the quadrant!"

"Palace Jade Wine?" Fan Xian continued to ask.

"One hundred and eighty cups!"

"The king of heaven overshadows the tigers of the earth?"

"Pagoda suppresses the river demon!"

These few words, which are meaningless to modern people, made Fan Xian instantly confirm Li Chengze's identity.

"So, you knew who I was, but you pretended not to know?" Fan Xian recalled that he had recited hundreds of poems under the influence of alcohol in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

Everyone thought he was improvising and praised him as a poet. But in fact, Li Chengze knew everything but just watched it like a play, which made Fan Xian feel extremely embarrassed.

"No, to be more precise, this is the first time we meet." Li Chengze shook his head and corrected.

"First meeting!?" Fan Xian's face changed slightly, and he immediately understood what Li Chengze meant.

"That's right, you traveled through time as a baby, and I traveled through time to the adult Second Prince Li Chengze."

"To be more precise, I have only been in this world for an hour."

"So, it is indeed our first meeting." Li Chengze nodded and answered affirmatively.

"Wait, let me digest it..." Fan Xian was a little unprepared. Fan Xian slowly raised his arms, and felt his mind was like a surging chaos, his thoughts were in a mess. Although his life was full of incredible adventures,
But when Li Chengze suddenly revealed that he was also a time traveler, even Fan Xian couldn't help feeling dizzy and confused.

Seeing this, Li Chengze chose to wait quietly, giving Fan Xian some space to sort out his thoughts. After a few dozen breaths, Fan Xian's eyes gradually focused.

He looked directly at Li Chengze, with a hint of disbelief in his tone: "Even if you got the code just now, you said you are also a time traveler. This... I still find it hard to digest."

For a long time, Fan Xian considered himself a lonely time traveler, until he read the letter left by his mother.

Only then did he have a deeper understanding of this world - it is not a purely alien world, but the rebirth of modern civilization after a nuclear war. But now, Li Chengze's words have overturned his cognition.

"Perhaps, there is some misunderstanding here." Li Chengze explained gently, "You are not a time traveler in the true sense. You just jumped in the long river of time and slipped from modern civilization to this rebuilt world. And I crossed the boundary of space and came directly from another parallel universe."

“Although our original world is bathed in the sunshine of modern technology, the details are very different.

For example, this world contains many secrets that you don’t know, because I come from a higher dimensional world, where everything is more complex and advanced than here.”

Li Chengze's words were full of philosophy and science fiction, but Fan Xian just shook his head frankly after listening to them, saying that it was difficult to understand this narrative that went beyond common sense.

Looking at Fan Xian's confused expression, Li Chengze smiled bitterly in his heart.
Bridging the gap between the two was no easy task, especially when the truth was so complex and difficult to accept. However, he did not give up, but became more determined to complete the task.

Indeed, this task is extremely difficult because wise people are often highly wary of unknown information and will not easily accept it.

"To allay your doubts, I will reveal a few secrets that you are sure no one knows as proof of my identity."

Li Chengze said to Fan Xian seriously,

“First, about the secret among your mother’s belongings—it’s a Barrett sniper rifle, right?

This detail should be unknown to anyone except you and Mr. Wuzhu, but it is no secret to me."

When Fan Xian heard this, his face instantly turned serious. The Barrett in his hand was indeed an extremely secret existence, and even he himself thought that only he and Wu Zhu knew about it. At this moment, Li Chengze's bluntness shocked him.

“Furthermore, Lin Gong’s death was actually caused by Wu Zhu, and I know this very well.

According to common sense, this should be information that the Second Prince cannot possibly access." Li Chengze continued, his tone firm.

Fan Xian's expression changed again, this time with a more complicated expression. The truth of Lin Gong's death was a pain in his heart that he did not want to touch easily, and Li Chengze's accuracy forced him to re-examine the person in front of him.

Strike while the iron is hot, Li Chengze continued:

“Finally, regarding the mystery of your origins—you are actually the illegitimate son of Emperor Qing.

This secret was told to you by Sean before he died when you were in Northern Qi, right? This information is impossible to obtain easily without personal experience or special channels. "

Every time a secret was revealed, it was like a stone was thrown into Fan Xian's heart, causing ripples. He had to admit that
What Li Chengze said was true. The revelation of these secrets was undoubtedly a huge shock to his cognition.

At this point, Fan Xian nodded slightly and understood: "We are in a three-dimensional space, which is composed of length, width, and height."

Li Chengze further elaborated: "That's right. If thinking is compared to space, it is the superposition of multiple dimensions, and the bridge connecting these spaces is

It is time. Four-dimensional space is based on three-dimensional space, with the dimension of time added to it, forming a time axis. "

"I roughly understand." Fan Xian nodded again to show his comprehension.

"What's interesting is that the existence of higher-dimensional space can touch any position in lower-dimensional space."

Li Chengze changed the subject and guided Fan Xian to think deeply.
“Imagine that a two-dimensional plane (surface) contains countless one-dimensional lines (lines), so a two-dimensional entity can easily cross any point in one dimension.
For example, you can jump directly from A to C without going through B.

Similarly, we in three-dimensional space can freely manipulate objects on a two-dimensional plane, such as taking objects out of or putting them into a circle, without being restricted by its boundaries. "

Fan Xian fell into deep thought, and soon caught this chain of logic:

"So, for the four-dimensional space, the three-dimensional world is like an open box, which can enter and exit the time point we are in at will?" He looked at Li Chengze in shock.

"That's right. My dimension is higher than yours. Theoretically, I can visit any time node I want."

Li Chengze admitted frankly, "The reason why I am here can be regarded as a journey from the fourth dimension to the third dimension. As for the secrets I mentioned before, they are all fragments I observed in the fourth dimension."

“As for predicting the future,” Li Chengze added, “due to the butterfly effect, even if I can see some fragments of the future, I cannot accurately predict its final outcome.

My arrival has become a 'butterfly' that influences the future direction."

Upon hearing this, Fan Xian's brows furrowed and then relaxed, and finally nodded, expressing his approval of Li Chengze's explanation.

He realized that if he really had the ability to travel through time, then predicting the future would become complex and full of variables, because every slight change could lead to unpredictable consequences.
