After Lin Xian and Gao Yang finished writing, they summarized the listed issues.
Then they deleted some irrelevant and logically explainable problems, and the remaining results were as follows:
[Unreasonable Phenomena in the Dream]:
The dream world is always fixed on August 28, 2624, and is destroyed precisely at 00:42 in the morning, endlessly repeating the same day.
Why can't hundreds of years old news, lottery results, and information be found on the computer network?
The level of technological development in the dream world is the same as in 2022, and people's living standards and conditions are not much different from those in 2022. What have scientists been doing for 600 years?
No matter how much destruction and chaos occur in the dream, even if the city is bombed to the ground, the city remains brand new the next day, as if nothing happened.
Why are humans unaware of the disaster at 00:42? Everything happened so suddenly, without any preparation.
Looking at these unreasonable points on the paper, the more they looked, the more unreasonable they seemed.
"Your dream has way too many bugs!" Gao Yang pointed to the first one, "This first issue is a big problem! How can time in the real world never flow and keep endlessly looping the same day? From this perspective, it's basically impossible for your dream to be the real world."
He then pointed to the second one, "The second one is even more absurd! How can data on the internet be completely erased? As long as something has appeared on the internet, rest assured... it can never be completely deleted and will always leave traces. Otherwise, how do they dig up those celebrities' scandals?"
Gao Yang's finger moved to the third one, "I take back what I said earlier, this one is the most absurd! For a whole 600 years, the level of human technological development has not progressed at all... Do you think that's possible? Even 60 years from now, people's lives will definitely be changing drastically compared to today!"
Pointing to the fourth one again, "The setting in your dream directly violates the laws of energy conservation and mass conservation! If there really is a city in reality where no matter how much destruction occurs, it will revert to its original state... It's probably only possible in Hogwarts, right?"
Gao Yang tapped on the last one, "Astronomy is highly developed now, with accurate calculations of meteor trajectories, solar aging, cosmic radiation, etc... We have space telescopes above and gravitational wave detectors below. How is it possible for humans to be completely unaware of a disaster that could destroy the Earth? Did all the astronomers die?"
Gao Yang spread his hands and looked at Lin Xian, "I think there's no need to dwell on it now. There are too many unreasonable things in your dream, and they simply don't make sense in terms of real logic!"
"So, such a ridiculous world cannot possibly be the real world, let alone the future world 600 years from now!"
...
Listening to Gao Yang's conclusion, Lin Xian remained silent.
Actually, he and Gao Yang had slightly different ideas.
While he agreed with Gao Yang's analysis that these unreasonable phenomena could not exist in a real world, many details indicated that his dream was not a mere false world. There were things beyond his cognition, knowledge he had never learned, and things he had never seen in reality but were real...
[This absolutely cannot be just a fictional dream.]
"You, Lin Xian... you always take everything too seriously and always want to figure everything out. But why live so exhausting? Some things can be unclear and just pass by."
Gao Yang hummed a tune, started to tidy up the trash on the table, and put the bottles, cans, and packaging bags into the trash can:
"Take, for example, being able to predict the World Cup matches. Isn't that a great thing? Remember to help me check who the champion of the 2026 World Cup is tomorrow! We'll continue to make a fortune in four years!"
Lin Xian waved his hand, indicating for Gao Yang to leave:
"Then ask me in four years. Who knows if things in the dream will change? From Ko Ko Cat to Rhine Cat, maybe the match results will change too."
"Alright."
Gao Yang packed up all the remaining trash, then picked up the two bags of garbage and waved to Lin Xian at the door:
"I'm leaving."
"Go ahead."
...
The next day.
Gao Yang came to find Lin Xian with a bag of money.
Thud!
The black bag landed heavily on the coffee table, with considerable weight.
Lin Xian opened it to take a look.
Inside were neatly stacked bundles of hundred-dollar bills, totaling 160,000 yuan.
"Why did you give me so much?" Lin Xian looked at Gao Yang. He had only bought a 30,000 yuan lottery ticket and won 110,000 yuan.
"It's half for each of us."
Lin Xian handed over five bundles of money to Gao Yang:
"Each has their own share. Besides... my salary is much higher than yours now, I don't need this money."
"Wow! Tough guy!"
Gao Yang rolled up his sleeve, revealing the Longines watch on his wrist, placed the latest iPhone on the coffee table, and tapped his Montblanc belt.
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!"
Lin Xian couldn't take it anymore and directly stopped Gao Yang:
"What are you doing? Are you strutting around here? Can you please tone down your nouveau riche look a bit?"
"Hehehe, you don't get it, Lin Xian. Now that we've got money, we've got to elevate our demeanor! Look at my outfit, what's your first impression?"
"Feels like a Christmas tree."
...
...
High Yang waved his hand:
"Let's forget it, not worth arguing with someone as uncultured as you. Your taste seems to still be stuck in ten years ago."
"Who between us looks like they've come from ten years ago?"
High Yang took off his sunglasses, looking at Lin Xian seriously:
"Enough with the sarcasm! I came here today to talk about serious matters."
"Serious matters? About my dreams?"
"That's right!"
Snap!
High Yang snapped his fingers, smirked confidently, and pointed at Lin Xian:
"Trust me!"
"This time... I'll completely expose the truth of your dreams! I've come up with a foolproof method!"
"What brilliant idea do you have now?"
Seeing High Yang so confident, Lin Xian couldn't help but feel amused.
Honestly, when it came to figuring out the truth of his dreams, Lin Xian had already lost hope in High Yang.
"Let it go, High Yang."
Lin Xian waved his hand, not willing to argue about it anymore:
"Don't worry about this, I have my own plans, just leave me alone."
"Don't! Trust me one more time! Just once more!"
High Yang persisted, grabbing Lin Xian and raising his index finger:
"I swear! This time it'll work! I'll definitely prove that your dreams are false!"
