The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 1457 A Super Student Who Lives and Learns Until He's Old?

Lin Chen's vision blurred, and everything around him disappeared.

He found himself in a vast, circular indoor plaza, more than a kilometer in diameter.

The square is surrounded by walls, and the walls are covered with books!
A dense collection of books!

Books, one after another, are packed tightly together, forming a huge circle around the square. Layer upon layer of bookshelves turn the entire square into a continuous mountain of books.

"Young man, welcome to Shenhua Tower..."

The aged voice rang out in the empty square, very clear and full of vicissitudes and weight, as if the owner was an elderly man.

Lin Chen cupped his hands in greeting: "Who are you, senior? Are you the spirit of this Divine Splendor Tower, or perhaps an avatar of a certain senior's primordial spirit?"

The old man laughed and said, "I'm just an old man who loves to read books. You don't need to care who I am."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "I heard that everyone has to take an assessment after entering?"

The old man replied, "Yes, the stronger your abilities, the greater the reward. If you can possess something that interests me, I will give you a reward."

Lin Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Since you love reading and have existed in this world for so long, you must know everything, right?"

The old man sighed, "The world is so vast, who dares to say they know everything? It is precisely because there are still many things I do not know that I wander around, learning new knowledge..."

Wandering?

Is the Shenhua Tower a mysterious place where people appear and disappear unpredictably, so that this person can learn new knowledge?

This is so easy to learn!

A super-achiever who learns until old age?

Lin Chen asked, "How will the assessment be conducted?"

The old man replied, "I sense a different aura about you. Tell me about yourself first, shall we?"

Lin Chen replied, "That would take quite a while to talk. Won't you get tired of it, senior?"

The old man chuckled, a hint of amusement in his voice: "Haha, isn't listening to stories a very interesting thing? How could you find it boring?"

Lin Chen countered, "Was the woman who came in just now my friend? Did she also share her life story?"

The old man asked in surprise, "Yes, you and she are friends?"

Lin Chen blinked: "In the story she told, was there a human emperor?"

The old man replied, "Yes."

Lin Chen smiled: "What a coincidence, isn't it? I am that Human Emperor." The old man laughed heartily: "So, you also come from the Desolate Realm?"

Lin Chen replied, "No, I come from the human world."

"The human realm?"

The old man's voice suddenly became more curious: "What place is that? Tell me about it."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "That's a world without cultivators, a world of technology..."

Lin Chen began to tell his story and the human world.

The old man didn't seem very interested in Lin Chen's life story, but he was very interested in the human world and kept asking questions.

"Can ordinary people fly in the sky?"

"Yes, humans have created airplanes. Well, they're similar to kites, only much larger. They can carry hundreds of people and fly thousands of miles in an hour. If it's a combat aircraft, it can fly thousands of miles..."

"You were able to leave the planet and travel to outer space? How did you do that?"

"It's a bit complicated to explain, and I don't fully understand it either. In short, planets have an attractive force to us, and the machines we weave generate tremendous thrust by burning fuel. This thrust is greater than the planet's gravitational pull, allowing us to escape the planet's gravity and reach space..."

……

The old man asked many questions, which were quite varied. Lin Chen was not a high-tech scholar to begin with, and he only knew the general phenomena of these things. He naturally did not understand the deeper principles, so he could only give casual explanations. However, the old man listened with great interest.

He seemed very interested in this unfamiliar world.

"Senior, the human realm I live in is a planet, but its territory is not very large, not even comparable to a continent here. Why are you so interested?"

The old man smiled and said, "There are countless places in the world, and I have only been to some of them. I am very interested in places that I don't understand or haven't been to."

This senior scholar is truly a tireless learner!
The two of them talked and listened, asked questions and answered questions, and a long time passed by unnoticed.

"You're only in your thirties, yet you've already reached the pinnacle of two worlds. You're truly a force to be reckoned with!"

Hearing the old man's sigh, Lin Chen humbly said, "I've just been lucky, and life always brings helpful people along, which is why I've gotten to where I am today. Like today, I just inexplicably ended up here. Actually, I'm quite curious about how this 'destined person' is defined..."

The old man smiled and replied, "It's a good match; you're the one I'm meant to be with."

Lin Chen didn't understand and was too lazy to ask further. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "I once heard someone say that my master, Su Shaoling, once entered Shenhua Tower. I wonder if this is true?"

After a pause, Lin Chen explained some basic information about his master.

The old man thought for a moment and then smiled, “Su Shaoling, I remember now, yes, he did come in. He was very talented and suited my taste. I remember he took a sword technique with him at the end…”
