My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 40 Death
Li Kang was terrified, sweating profusely, and kept glancing at the sky, fearing divine punishment. Guan Fei also realized what was happening, his expression constantly changing. If it was related to… then it could be explained.

“No wonder Mr. Zhu… it’s all because of…” Guan Fei pursed his lips. Although this matter was absurd, it was true… Whether it was the unimaginable changes in the underground temple or Chu Zhu’s drastic personality change, it all made sense now…

Even though he held Nuwa No. 17 in high esteem, Guan Fei couldn't help but feel angry and resentful at this moment.

"Don't talk about this!" Li Kang said through gritted teeth. It was precisely because it was so reasonable that it couldn't be touched—it was best not to even think about it!

the other side.

Chu Zhu has already politely declined Ning Linglong's invitation to dinner tonight.

"With so many things happening today, it's not really appropriate! Besides... if nothing unexpected happens, your father will definitely insist that you attend tonight's dinner party, right?"

"What do you mean?" Ning Linglong asked in surprise.

“Here’s the thing! Tell your father tonight that you had lunch with me, and you’ll be done with it.” Chu Zhu paused slightly, glancing sideways at Ning Linglong. “Of course, if you really want to take advantage of a younger woman…”

“…Uncle Zhu!!” Ning Linglong was furious. But then she realized that the more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed… The person opposite her was someone she called uncle, yet her blind date with him was like an old cow eating young grass?
It's chilling to think about, and leaves one speechless!

After thinking it over and over, Ning Linglong gritted her teeth, blaming it all on her foolish and outrageous old father.

"Oh, right." Ning Linglong suddenly remembered something, blinked, and lightly rubbed her feet, clad in thigh-high boots, on the ground, causing her long, slender legs and hips, encased in black stockings, to tremble slightly in a beautiful arc. "What you guys were discussing before..."

"That's a topic we absolutely cannot touch," Chu Zhu said casually.

"...Oh, then it's alright."

……

Eight o'clock at night.

Chu Zhu opened the door and went inside. Li Kang followed closely behind, and Guan Fei and Ning Linglong entered in turn.

Bi Xuan did not participate in this mission due to his lack of ability.

"It's so small!" Ning Linglong exclaimed in disbelief after scanning the area. This was the place where Chu Zhu, the founder of the guild and known as the underground king of the shantytown redevelopment zone, lived?
This...this only has one layer!
Based on Guan Fei's previous boasts, even if Chu Zhu rented out the entire building, she felt it would still be difficult to match Chu Zhu's status.

Guan Fei remained silent, unsurprised, because he already knew who Chu Zhu was.

This was also Li Kang's first time visiting Chu Zhu's house. After taking a look around, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, but he quickly asked, "By the way, where are we going to stay next? In the lobby?"

"I'll go with you!" Chu Zhu said calmly. "The killer has an exceptional ability to hide. If I sleep alone in the room while you're in the living room, you might find me hanging from the ceiling when you wake me up tomorrow morning!"

“…This!” Li Kang’s expression changed slightly, and he shook his head. “If that’s really the case, then they must be at least a second-realm assassin who has mastered the art of concealment! This…shouldn’t be possible, right? This kind of…”

"No, no, no, I think that with Mr. Zhu's status, he could easily handle not only the second realm, but even the third realm!" Guan Fei interjected seriously. Realizing that Chu Zhu's previous indifference might have been due to divine intervention, he changed his attitude.

Li Kang thought for a moment, then glared fiercely at Guan Fei. What ominous things were those he was saying? Even a third-realm assassin could wipe them all out! Were they here just to be delivered to the enemy lines?
Chu Zhu tidied up the bed she had washed and laid it out on the floor for the group.

He himself simply lay down on the sofa.

Time passes bit by bit.

soon……

The time of the last assassination attempt at his home has arrived—although strictly speaking, that time was yesterday!

Calm and calm.

Chu Zhu blinked. So, not killing him? Fine, I'll just stay up until three or four in the morning and then commit suicide to reset!
then……

……

Inside the dormitory room.

Six o'clock in the morning.

Chu Zhu's eyes snapped open, and he gasped for breath for a moment. "I... I was killed again?" He was certain that he hadn't committed suicide at the end of the dream world.

"How could someone be killed while being protected by Li Kang and the others?" Chu Zhu was very troubled, especially since he couldn't even be sure if the murderer had attracted Li Kang and the others' attention when he killed him.

What if Li Kang and the others didn't notice until they woke up in the morning and called Chu Zhu... that would be truly absurd.

get up.

Chu Zhu began to take notes seriously.

Second...third?
These two figures indicate that Chu Zhu can be fairly certain the assassin is at least a second-level assassin... most likely a cultivator! Perhaps Li Kang's words have come true; the opponent even possesses supernatural abilities related to concealment!
Of course, it could also be the third realm, but the probability is not high, so it remains a question mark. Also, since assassinations are still being carried out now, it can only mean that the mastermind's target is not simply the guild.

"Me?" Chu Zhu pondered. What else did he have besides organizing the union that would make him stand out or be resented?

……

After class.

Chu Zhu wrote a note and handed it to Lin Xia.

"What is this? Wait a minute!" Lin Xia looked at the stock code, as well as the buy and sell times, and realized something. She gasped and looked Chu Zhu up and down repeatedly.

“There’s also the back!” Chu Zhu added.

Lin Xia's hands trembled. There was more? He quickly flipped the slip of paper and saw a series of numbers.

"Lottery? Why are there three?"

"Well, one is from last time, one is from this time, and the other is from next time!"

"!!!"

Lin Xia realized what was happening and quickly pulled out her phone to check. "It matched last time...it really matched! Ah Zhu, you probably don't usually check lottery numbers, right? Yes, the chances are getting higher and higher..."

Although the classroom was almost empty by now, Lin Xia still didn't directly discuss the future. Even though Chu Zhu had basically made up his mind, he didn't say much more to Lin Xia about it.

Lin Xia took several deep breaths, but still couldn't suppress her surging excitement. "Okay, I'll go now! Tonight, we'll meet at the Weinan Internet Cafe near the school gate."

Chu Zhu watched Lin Xia's figure leave, thought for a moment, then stood up and clenched his fist, pondering, "Although the physical strength in the dream world seems to be constantly increasing over time... it should already be seven times the strength of a normal physique!"

"But my physical strength in the real world doesn't seem to be increasing! Am I stuck?"

Chu Zhu was somewhat confused, and then he thought of something...

"Wait, does this mean... I have to use nuclear radiation to evolve my physical body?" Chu Zhu's face twitched slightly. But... how do you do that in the real world?

No, Chu Zhu pondered. Given the current global situation, there are still many relatively easy ways to obtain it.

For example, buy a plane ticket, go to the neighboring village, and then dive into their nuclear-contaminated water discharge point and drink it in big gulps!
The only problem is...

"I only have one life in this world!"

Who would dare to do this if it can't be reset?
"Never mind! First..." Chu Zhu hesitated for a long time, then stopped in the school corridor, took out her phone, opened the app, and subconsciously searched for a word: Banhei Cha.

No? Oh, right, I almost forgot, that's what it will be called in the future! In this era, it might not be called that...

Chu Zhu thought for a moment, then directly activated the AI, described its appearance and effects, and then searched for what kind of herb it was...

then……

"Out of thirty-seven kinds of herbs, I can only sift out thirty-three!"

Chu Zhu frowned. "What about four more?"

Is it that the data for these herbs wasn't entered into the AI, or... are these herbs some kind of future specialty that can only be created through certain special events?
