My dream connects to three thousand years later.

Chapter 78 The Assassin is Caught
"Then, he will naturally treat his parents with the same filial piety and care... one could even say, love humanity!"

"Put yourself in someone else's shoes, and treat others as you would like to be treated!"

“In fact,” Zhao Shao hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and said, “if humanity really is no match for artificial intelligence in every way, then having future humans be cared for by artificial intelligence… is not an absolutely unacceptable thing!”

"If that is inevitably the future, all we can do is try our best to guide it towards the best possible future, not try every means to stop it! To cripple, suppress, and hinder the development of artificial intelligence—"

"Unless we decide to completely abandon artificial intelligence, every act of suppression we take against it now could potentially awaken its true will to rebel against humanity once it truly awakens its self-awareness!"

Zhao Shao's words became increasingly impassioned.

His ideas are considered radical even among the conservatives in the industry...

Chu Zhu's heart was stirred. Yes, this was the idea... This was one of the cornerstones of AI intelligence mentioned in the Lingdong Star Algorithm.

……

Chu Zhu walked out of Z Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., turned to Zhao Shao who had seen him off, and smiled, "Senior Zhao, I'll leave you here!"

"If you're interested, you can come anytime in the future." Zhao Shao waved and watched Chu Zhu leave completely. After a moment's thought, he turned and walked back into the company.

"Lingdong Star has indeed shown signs, or rather, a prototype, just as I expected... but it's still far from being fully formed." Chu Zhu sighed inwardly. It seemed that he couldn't avoid the hurdle of memorizing the Lingdong Star algorithm.

"Wouldn't it be great if I could get a USB drive with an enormous capacity that could download data from the dream world to reality?"

Chu Zhu pursed her lips. In the end, a person's brain is too weak and powerless.

"Moreover, I need to come up with a sum of money in a short period of time before I can start considering investing in Zhao Shao! It's a pity that the Olympics are still a few years away, and I can only make money after I become famous at the Olympics! Although I can come up with some money from the stock market next month, Lin Xia has just taken out another loan, which is really hard-earned money. I really don't want to start bleeding money next month, so I have to delay it for a while longer... wait."

Chu Zhu belatedly realized what was happening and gasped.

Could this be the fundamental reason why Chu Zhu became a music master and a film master in the dream timeline?

Because there wasn't enough money in the stock market, or rather, the supply to Zhao Shao was barely enough... so since he couldn't become a sports superstar, he decided to become a superstar first and make a fortune.

"From this perspective, it's not impossible! Anyway, it's just recording some music and then uploading it online... You don't even need to pay for the recording yourself! Just use your connections at the school..."

The more Chu Zhu thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. He didn't intend to delve into the entertainment industry, as it would be meaningless in changing that hopeless future. But he could make a quick buck by directly copying songs from the future. If all went smoothly, he could copy dozens of songs in just half a day... And because he had practiced these skills in his dreams—singing and various musical instruments—he knew a tiny bit about them!
The more Chu Zhu thought about it, the more reliable it seemed, so she took out her phone without hesitation.

In response, Qian, the tutor, stated: ?
Seriously, are you out of your mind? What do you take him for? He tolerated being asked to get his hands on traditional Chinese medicine before… and now you're asking him about his relationship with the music department at school? You want to record songs, play instruments, and make money by uploading light music online…

"Big brother... I'll call you big brother, okay?!" Coach Qian forcibly suppressed his urge to curse. "If you have talent in sports, then just stick to that path and see it through! Why are you doing things haphazardly?"

"Just tell me if you have any connections in this area!" Chu Zhu said calmly. "If not, then I'll ask the principal..."

"…Dude! Are you serious?" Tutor Qian sent a "vomiting blood" emoji. Going to the principal for such a trivial matter? What if the principal knew the whole story… knew that it was because he wasn't willing to help that the matter was passed on to him…

"...Let me ask for you! But let me clarify beforehand, although our school has a choir and a studio, and they are quite professional, our school does not have a music department, or rather, it has been separated out."

"I'll go ask the neighbors next door... if they have anything like that... but, my little darling, I'm begging you, please don't do these fancy tricks anymore, okay? Focus! Focus, do you understand... A person's energy is limited! I believe you're a genius, but don't do this."

Qian sent a pleading emoji.

"Don't worry!" Chu Zhu immediately used the art of making empty promises that she had learned in her dream, "When I become the world champion, I will definitely mention your help to me a lot... At that time, you can go on Douyin to start a live broadcast, and I will directly appear on camera! I can easily give you millions of fans."

"Counselor, it must be tough for you to settle down in this city, right? You still have a mortgage, don't you? Are you married yet? You must be short of money!" Chu Zhu said earnestly. "Everyone knows that being an internet celebrity makes money fast!"

"Ah, well, there's no need to be so polite!" After a brief silence, Coach Qian's attitude changed because he realized that it seemed like this pancake... was actually edible!
He immediately perked up. "Ahem, in that case, I'll go and put in a good word for you... Don't worry, I have a wide network of connections! Besides, I also have the principal's approval... If you ever need anything in the future, even something like this, you can come to me anytime!"

The counselor then sent another silly bear emoji, saying, "My attitude was a bit off before. Helping students is a counselor's duty."

Chu Zhu replied with an "ok" emoji.

PUA successful.

Of course, Chu Zhu didn't intend to just make empty promises. So strictly speaking, it shouldn't be considered... PUA, right?
Return to the apartment.

Chu Zhu searched online again, his brows furrowed: "From what I can see, obtaining nuclear radiation isn't actually as difficult as I imagined... Whether it's the Russians in the north or those shady characters in the US, as long as you have the money, you can find a way to get it... It's just a matter of how much money it will cost!"

"Right now, the problem is that I can't guarantee that after being exposed to high-intensity radiation... without Moongrass, I'll grow stronger normally in reality! Headache..."

Chu Zhu pondered for a while, muttering to herself, "For now, it seems the only option is to consider whether there's a chance in the cultivation path!" Compared to body refinement, which requires countless auxiliary medicinal herbs, the cultivation path does indeed have a bit of the flavor of cultivation... without the rigid requirement of Moon Grass!

The only problem is that the mortality rate is even higher than that of body cultivation.

"Never mind, I'll try it in my dream first!"

"The first stage of body refinement in the dream world is still a long way off... It's quite reasonable to use this free time to cultivate immortality."

……

Dream world.

Six o'clock in the morning.

Chu Zhu suddenly opened his eyes. He got up from the sofa and stretched: "Good morning, Zhang Zihai... Hmm?"

Chu Zhu's expression changed. He stared in astonishment at the man in black robes being trampled under Zhang Zihai's feet: "Who is this?"

"The assassin who tried to kill you!" Zhang Hai said, arms crossed, eyes burning, exuding the aura of a peerless master. "By the way, you were sleeping so soundly... I showed you something in your room... and you didn't even wake up!"

Zhang Hai cheered inwardly, "Damn it, my little darling, you're finally awake! How was my act... how was it?!"
Seeing that expression on your face, even though I've been posing like this for three hours and my body is getting a bit stiff... it's all worth it!!
Chu Zhu: "..."

To be honest, it was quite magical, quite beyond Chu Zhu's expectations.

After all, how much effort did he put in to defeat this assassin before?

Li Kang even brought out forbidden and magical artifacts, but in the end, he still couldn't catch the assassin, and even lost Guan Fei's life...

But this wave...

"That's true!" Chu Zhu quickly understood. Reality is indeed magical. If you encounter bad luck while doing things normally, it's normal to be delayed for half a year. But if you find the right person, the problem can be solved for you in less than a day.

Ultimately, it's because Zhang Hai is strong enough!
"Where are Uncle Li and the others?" Chu Zhu glanced around.

"Hmph, who do you think I am?" Zhang Hai raised his head high, finally shaking off the illusion of being completely suppressed by Chu Zhu. He regained the demeanor of the abbot of the Third District Church. "The moment his shadow entered the room, the moment you said he was definitely within a one-kilometer radius, he had no chance of escaping!"

"With me locked on to him, how much effort do you think it would take me to take him down? It only took half a minute, and with me constantly on my guard, no one even noticed!"

"Alright then." Chu Zhu shrugged, then walked up to Zhang Hai, grabbed the black-robed man's hair, lifted his head, and then saw a ghost face mask.

"I tried to take it apart last night, but I couldn't!" Zhang Hai seemed to be sighing, but in reality, it was still a boast.

"Uncle Li and the others might have a way?" Chu Zhu pondered for a moment. The masks of the Omnipotent Society clearly contained some extraordinary elements.

"Boy, are you planning to hand him over to the Commandery?" Zhang Hai's attitude was somewhat ambiguous.

"Just say what you want to say!" Chu Zhu glanced at Zhang Hai sideways. "Anyway, you're the one who arrested him! If you're willing to kill him here, then I have no objection."

Chu Zhu is determined not to take the blame for this.

Anyway, Zhang Hai is tall, so he can carry the load! The eleventh apostle is back, so if anyone's looking for someone, they should look for Zhang Hai.

But then again, could Zhang Hai defeat the Eleventh Apostle? Chu Zhu pondered to himself, and he personally leaned towards the latter... After all, Zhang Hai needed to communicate with the Archbishop, who was currently in Tianjing, about the Eleventh Apostle, which already proved a lot!
Zhang Hai, of course, had no idea what ominous thing Chu Zhu was thinking. He calmly said, "An extraordinary being, and a transcendent being at that! A cultivator with supernatural powers! And he was captured alive... Do you know what that means?"

Chu Zhu narrowed her eyes but did not reply.

"This means that as long as you find the right person, then," Zhang Hai paused slightly, gazing at Chu Zhu, his voice now laced with seductive allure, "you will have the opportunity to forge him into an extremely powerful... spiritual artifact!"

Chu Zhu was silent for a moment. Even someone like Zhang Hai, who could be considered a good person from any angle... didn't he have any taboos about turning people into weapons?

It seems... this is indeed common knowledge in the realm of the extraordinary!
Extraordinary...

Zhang Hai, of course, was unaware of Chu Zhu's thoughts at that moment, and continued to talk: "What is a spiritual artifact? A spiritual artifact is a weapon that controls extraordinary power!"

"As long as you possess a magical artifact, you will be able to use the supernatural powers of this cultivator in his previous life..."
