My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 347 Invitation to the Time Club! Publication of "Starry Sea"! (First Update)
Seven o'clock in the evening.

Nanjing, the capital of China.

Z Company Headquarters.

In the president's office.

"A-Zhu!" Lin Xia gave Chu Zhu, who had shed her disguise, a big hug, then her voice was laced with gritted teeth: "You can't be so willful anymore! Do you know how worried I am about you..."

Even knowing that everything was under Chu Zhu's control... the moment he saw all the news from the White Eagle, he still felt like he was about to explode with pressure—especially since Chu Zhu would block his signal when passing through certain places, making it impossible for him to contact her even through Z...

Zhao Shao nodded slightly, glancing at Chu Zhu from time to time, his expression somewhat dazed… Having learned about the relevant information through Z, he knew very well what Chu Zhu was facing… and how Chu Zhu could escape back so quickly and unharmed was utterly absurd—

To put it bluntly, he felt that if you threw the Wolf Warriors from the movie into this situation, they would probably be beaten into war dogs!
Perhaps only someone like Captain White Hawk, who doesn't even bother to act, could possibly achieve a breakthrough... Wait, there's also Z's help? But this ridiculously overpowered version of Z was also created by Chu Zhu, so Chu Zhu's true nature is... a combination of Iron Man and Captain White Hawk?!
Zhao Shao was filled with a jumble of thoughts, his mind a complete mess at that moment... In fact, before Chu Zhu actually came to the company and revealed her true self... he always thought that Chu Zhu would not be able to return with the security personnel they had sent to Mexico for at least one or two weeks!

If something unexpected happens along the way, he might not be able to come back—

After all, bro, are you kidding me? The one wanted you is the undisputed overlord of this planet! Even if you've pulled back a bit now... the problem is, the place you were in before was this overlord's backyard!
Let alone an individual, even if the whole hometown gives it its all, it might not be able to snatch food from the jaws of a bald eagle...

"Alright!" Chu Zhu smiled helplessly, then looked at Huo Yuan, who was still somewhat uneasy: "Miss Huo! What's next...?"

"I...I don't know..." Huo Yuan bit her lower lip.

"She'll continue going to school!" Huo Qisi chimed in, his face darkening. He scolded his daughter, "Don't pretend like that! You think you can stop studying just because something happened? Dream on! You still need to catch up on what you missed... I think I've been too lenient with you in the past! That's why I let you hang out with those shady characters, so..."

"...It's not inappropriate! It's just a trip..." Huo Yuan immediately retorted, but as she spoke, she lost her confidence. To be honest, Huo Yuan felt that compared to her classmates in Europe and America who frequently went to parties or even did drugs, her hobby was really very healthy... But she couldn't help it, she really suffered a big loss this time!

In the past, when her rebellious streak kicked in, she would definitely have argued seriously with her father, but now, all her words boiled down to just one sentence: "...I'm sorry!"

Huo Qisi choked, staring at his daughter in disbelief. She actually apologized? Honestly, he knew his daughter was going through a rebellious phase… A mix of emotions welled up inside Huo Qisi… and he sighed.

"Alright! As for the school, I'll contact President Li of Jinling University later!" Zhao Shao saw that Chu Zhu wanted Huo Yuan to leave, so he immediately took over the conversation. "Mr. Huo, you can have a good talk with President Li... and then see where to arrange the transfer!"

"Thank you." Huo Qisi nodded gratefully. Of course, he was mainly grateful to Chu Zhu, because he knew very well that Zhao Shao's attitude towards him was mainly because of Chu Zhu.

"Z, could you please help me with that... uh, what was the last name of the female secretary I just hired? Never mind, call her over! Let her get to know Miss Huo well." Zhao Shaoqing cleared his throat...

He originally only had male secretaries, but he's been incredibly busy lately... With this emergency expansion, he now has over a dozen secretaries, including one or two women! Of course, this has nothing to do with Zhao Shao... He doesn't even recognize all the names of these newly hired secretaries...

Chu Zhu casually pulled up a chair, sat down, and waited quietly until Huo Yuan left and only four people remained. Then he immediately said, "Z, activate the highest alert mode!"

"Activated." Z's voice was as usual.

Narrowing his eyes, Chu Zhu's gaze swept over Lin Xia before focusing on Zhao Shao and Huo Qisi.

"Is now the time?" Lin Xia suddenly asked.

"Hmm!" Chu Zhu nodded slightly, then took a deep breath, her eyes shining, and said softly, "Old Zhao, Old Huo, I'm extending an invitation to you... I hope you will officially join the Time Club!"

“…Time, the club?” Zhao Shao murmured. He wasn’t surprised at all; he’d had this feeling for a long time… How could Chu Zhu not have a powerful backer? He even suspected that Chu Zhu’s trip to North America was related to the handover of power between these forces!
I just don't know why such an outrageous thing happened...

“Yes…” Chu Zhu’s gaze took on a profound look: “To overcome that hopeless future! For our future… the future of humanity.”

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Zhao Shao: "!!"

Hozis: "???"

Wait, how did it suddenly become the future of humanity? This topic... doesn't it suddenly feel a little off?

Chu Zhu certainly didn't reveal everything—even though his good brother had tested it, and had tested it dozens of times during his time in North America—

The diary entry mentioned recruiting Zhao Shao and the surviving Huo Qisi into the Time Club, and judging from the dates, no major problems seemed to have arisen afterward. Even if a large portion of the diary entries were deleted, at least Lin Xinzhu didn't specifically point it out—

Even so, Chu Zhu felt she needed to leave herself enough leeway.

After all, it's the main timeline, and he can't accept the consequences of making mistakes!
Chu Zhu gathered his thoughts and cautiously stated that a massive catastrophe would occur in the future! Human civilization would be destroyed as a result… In the next era, human civilization would begin anew! However, the enemy did not seem to have completely escaped the shadows… The enemy might be an alien civilization! Of course, there might be other possibilities… It couldn't be 100% certain!
As for Chu Zhu's future experiences, Nuwa No. 17 and how Chu Zhu knew about the future... naturally, Chu Zhu didn't say any of these!

……

After a while.

“...How could such a thing happen?” Zhao Shao felt a chill run down his spine. A thousand words were stuck in his throat, but he didn’t know how to say them.

He suddenly remembered the nonsense Chu Zhu had rambled on with Lin Xia before leaving. He instantly turned around, staring at the silent Lin Xia, then at Chu Zhu, his eyes filled with astonishment—wait, were you two serious back then?!

He had many guesses about Chu Zhu in the past... but no matter how much he guessed, he could never have guessed something like this!

Zhao Shao did not doubt Chu Zhu's words, because after cooperating with Chu Zhu, he had seen too many unusual things...

Even because of what Chu Zhu said to Lin Xia before leaving Jinling for North America… he briefly suspected that Chu Zhu might have a Doraemon at home. However, he felt that anything involving the future was too unlikely and ultimately dismissed the idea…

But now, the answer is blatantly obvious—no matter how hard it is to accept, no matter how unbelievable… he has no choice but to accept it!

Huo Qisi's expression shifted repeatedly, from shock and disorientation to trembling as if recalling something, then to a touch of emotion, before finally managing a bitter smile: "Mr. Chu, you trust me too much! I wouldn't even dare to trust myself this much... You! I..."

"It's alright!" Chu Zhu waved her hand magnanimously. "Do you know the men in black? If something happens to you in the future... don't worry, you definitely won't remember anything about it!"

As for how to erase the memory—even if the memory erasure methods in the dream world don't work, if all else fails, we can always have our good buddy try to develop it… Memory magic definitely has potential in this area! Let's put our good buddy through that a little more hardship…

Hozis: "..."

Thank you so much!

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Shao belatedly gasped, "Holy crap, so... you really don't have some huge organization behind you? Z's outrageous code! And all that stuff before... you really created it all by yourself???"

After figuring out part of the truth, Zhao Shao didn't think that Chu Zhu was anything special just because Z ascended on the spot because it involved information about the future, or because Chu Zhu had created so many things without doing it all by himself. He felt that this was even more heaven-defying!
Because he already knew... these things couldn't possibly have been developed by Chu Zhu alone! No matter how talented someone is, it couldn't be this outrageous...

Even if Chu Zhu could obtain information about the future in some way, it would be impossible for one person to do all of this alone—

Zhao Shao felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer...

He was completely confused!
How did he do that? Ah... even if he can learn about the future, how could one person create a groundbreaking AI? That's incredible! He's practically a superman... no, he's a god!

Because he was an insider, he knew exactly how much work this was... not to mention, Chu Zhu still had the leisure to develop in all aspects.

This is a genuine outsider, someone who's never been in the industry... who might listen to the whole thing and think Chu Zhu is probably a plagiarist, and that they could do it too. This insider, however, after listening to the whole thing, feels like an ant looking at the sky!

It can only be said that the more powerful one is, the more one knows, the more one understands the true value of something, and the more awe one feels...

Noticing Zhao Shao's gaze and roughly guessing what he was thinking, Chu Zhu's eye twitched, but she didn't explain anything about Nuwa or memories to him.

“So!” Lin Xia stepped forward naturally. During Chu Zhu’s time in North America, he had chatted with Chu Zhu from time to time and learned a lot about her… so he knew what he should do at this moment.

He then logically proposed the core internal rule of the Time Club—that Chu Zhu possesses absolute dictatorship when saving the future and when it is not appropriate to reveal information! Because he is bound to be right.

"...I haven't agreed to join yet!" Zhao Shao's eye twitched, then he saw Chu Zhu's cold gaze fall upon him. He immediately raised his hands, revealing an awkward smile: "I was just kidding...I'll definitely join! I agree to that too..."

Hotchkiss asked directly, "Is there anything I can do?"

"Let's leave that aside for now!" Chu Zhu shook his head, his expression somewhat puzzling. He pulled out dozens of thick notebooks from his briefcase: "My first order as the host of the Time Club is... help me publish a book."

"???" Zhao Shao almost thought he had misheard. No, are you serious?

Then, Zhao Shao heard Chu Zhu clearly utter the name of the book—

"Starry Sea".
