Chapter 300: Heading Back To The New World
The two of them would be the ones in charge of the class while he was gone. Zhou Feng was someone who was not afraid to stand out, while Gu Xiaoyue was someone who preferred to maintain a low profile. The two of them working together put Xiao Lin at ease.
The bald-headed Zhou Feng took the change to thank Xiao Lin. He had basically placed all of the few hundred redemption points he had on Xiao Lin. Of course, he had already told Xiao Lin that beforehand. He did not do it just to make money, but was actually doing it more as a show of support. Zhou Feng was surprised and ecstatic when it actually made him several thousand redemption points.
Even if Xiao Lin knew Zhou Feng was deliberately using it to suck up, he could not help but respect the man. There were only a few people in Class Seven who dared to do it. He knew everyone might have accepted him as the class monitor on the surface, but a good amount probably have yet to truly accept it in their hearts. Xiao Lin felt like he needed to properly reward those who really supported him, so he started with Zhou Feng.
“I’ve already discussed it with Cheng Ming from Class One; if anything gets decided on in the monitor meetings, he will let you know. Take care of the class while I’m gone.” Xiao Lin’s words carried two meanings. Firstly, he was appointing Zhou Feng as the substitute class monitor. Secondly, he was telling Zhou Feng that–even with that power, he still needed to go through Cheng Ming–so Zhou Feng should not think of hiding anything from Xiao Lin.
Zhou Feng did not disappoint him, ignoring the warning as he immediately expressed his elation, before asking, “How about Gu Xiaoyue?”
“Ah, don’t worry about that. That woman doesn’t like trouble, so she would not want to be in charge of too much. However, you can ask her for help if you have any problems.”

Zhou Feng nodded with a look of understanding, a smirk on his face. Xiao Lin felt like the man must have misunderstood something, but he did not bother explaining it.
Communicating with Gu Xiaoyue was a much easier affair. Xiao Lin felt like he developed a better understanding of the girl after the third monthly examination, but the closer they got, the more curious he was. Unfortunately Gu Xiaoyue had never bothered playing the social game in the academy, so she did not express anything at Xiao Lin’s arrangements.
“Oh, I understand.” Was her only reply.
With that, Xiao Lin regretfully headed to the inter-spatial gate deep in the academy, which was where he agreed to meet with An Fumin. Xiao Lin immediately recognized the casino boss when he got there, the man’s body was way too eye-catching.
An Fumin immediately shook Xiao Lin’s hand. The two of them walked into the platform after greeting each other. The one standing guard seemed to be an acquaintance of An Fumin. The two of them chatted for a bit and the guard did not bother checking him in detail before waving him away.
Xiao Lin was a different matter, since freshmen usually needed special permission from the student union to head to the New World. An Fumin kept his smile on his face as he looked on. He could have easily helped with the matter, but Xiao Lin had rejected it, leading to some curiosity from him.
With two pairs of eyes on him, Xiao Lin took out the letter of appointment that Yu Mei from the sixth regiment brought him. The letter of appointment was quite ordinary, having not been made of any special material, but the other two immediately widened their eyes when it was opened.
The two of them were shocked by two different things. The staff was shocked that a freshman had been appointed as a captain. That was enough to inspire the envy of most of the graduating batch from this year. An Fumin on the other hand was not too interested in a freshman captain. Since there were all sorts of people who frequented his casino, a captain was nothing special. What caused him to be so surprised was the signature on the letter of appointment.

Even if the words were sloppily written, enough for most to just ignore it, An Fumin clearly recognized the dean’s own signature.
There were quite a few captains in Dawn Academy, and there were even those younger than Xiao Lin, but those appointed by the dean himself were very rare.
An Fumin was shocked to the core, but his expression remained unchanged. He only imperceptibly nodded.
The letter of appointment had a lot on it, but it was not for the eyes of the two in front of Xiao Lin, but just as Song Junlang had said, the letter of appointment was enough that they did not dare stop him from passing. Xiao Lin and An Fumin passed the checkpoint without issue.
The platform had two interspatial gates on them. One headed to Earth while the other went to Dawn City, which meant that Xiao Lin did not need to make a trip to Earth this time. In front of the passage was the second security checkpoint; it was much stricter than the one in front of the platform.
First, they checked if the two of them brought any modern items that could damage the reality of Planet Norma. It was not the first time Xiao Lin went to Planet Norma, so he had naturally been careful about that issue. After passing the security check, Xiao Lin was surprised to see that An Fumin also knew the staff there. They were chatting away during the entire process.
After getting onto the carriage, An Fumin had wanted to give some simple explanations, but he noticed it was not Xiao Lin’s first time. As the carriage started to move, the Timesand began to light up the carriage.
An Fumin looked at the calm Xiao Lin, smiling as he said meaningfully, “I heard you went to New Washington as a representative of the academy not long after you entered, causing quite a bit of a stir. It seems the rumors were true.”
“I’m not nearly that capable. I merely followed Department Head Song out that time. He was the main character and I just followed because I knew a bit of the language.” Xiao Lin easily pushed the matter to Song Junlang, since he was not around anyway. However, he was secretly surprised. That man had quite the impressive information network. The fact that something happened in New Washington was obviously no easy secret to keep, but with Dawn Academy and Judge Academy covering things up, there were not many who could tie what happened to freshmen.
It seemed like An Fumin did not just meet Xiao Lin because he won a bet; the man probably already had quite a bit of information on Xiao Lin.
An Fumin smiled, noticing that Xiao Lin did not want to delve deeper into the topic. He quickly switched the topic to Dawn City.
Xiao Lin might have been to New Washington, but that was still American territory. In the end, nothing beat home. No matter how advanced it was over there, Xiao Lin did not feel comfortable, especially after what happened between the two of them.
Even if he knew An Fumin was trying to get closer to him for some reason, Xiao Lin did not mind learning more about Dawn City from the man.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.
