My Dream Connects to 3000 Years in the Future

Dream World.

After waking up, Chu Bamboo read through his diary again. ’The Mayan Ruins... I still haven’t managed to conquer them!’

But that wasn’t exactly surprising!

After a sigh, Chu Bamboo casually scanned the rest, finishing with Lin Xin Bamboo’s message. It was more or less the same as always!

”I’m still too weak!” Chu Bamboo slapped his cheeks and stood up again. ’Only the strong get to know more information!’

Then, as he walked, he called Ning Linglong, all while organizing the nearly-formed concept in his mind... a new method he had deduced for the Reproduction of a living person’s Divine Techniques...

...

「A few hours later.」

”It wasn’t easy.” On a mountain peak in the Fourth District, Chu Bamboo held Ning Linglong’s hand, his face filled with emotion. ”I did it! I finally did it.”

Ning Linglong: ”???”

Watching Chu Bamboo muttering to himself, she was startled. A worried look appeared on her face. ’Could the pressure have been too much? Has he gone insane?’ She immediately tried to comfort him, ”Um, developing Divine Power is supposed to be difficult... running into some obstacles is normal. I’ll always be with you... Huh?!”

Ning Linglong watched in astonishment as Chu Bamboo raised his palm. Wisps of clear wind wrapped around his body, allowing him to slowly lift off the ground.

”...Wind Flowing Body?” Ning Linglong murmured, her eyes filled with disbelief as she questioned reality. Even though she had already learned about Chu Bamboo’s own Divine Technique and his reason for seeking her out... to now truly see her own Divine Technique wielded by another person still stirred a thousand emotions within her.

”This is so powerful,” Chu Bamboo exclaimed with feeling. With a flick of his finger, a terrifying wave of water condensed from thin air, sweeping outwards and striking the surroundings, toppling giant trees as if they were rotten wood.

Compared to the Second Realm’s Memory Divine Techniques, the offensive power was on a completely different level!

As Chu Bamboo thought of this, his mood grew complicated again. He remembered the time he and Ning Linglong were on the maglev vehicle that went up into the sky—the vehicle crashed, and he died. But based on the last thing he saw before he died... Ning Linglong most likely survived!

She probably didn’t even have much trouble being submerged in water... After all, she had the Water Flowing Body Divine Power!

”...Um! So, what are we doing next?” After composing herself for a good while, Ning Linglong finally pulled herself together, looked directly at Chu Bamboo, and moved her lips to speak.

And then...

Before Ning Linglong’s confused, shocked, and reality-questioning gaze, Chu Bamboo gently reached up and slapped his own forehead.

The next moment, the Wind Flowing Body transformed into an unbelievably sharp arrow of wind, shredding his brain.

...

Opening his eyes once more, Chu Bamboo’s lips curled into a smile, his face filled with soaring confidence.

”All the pieces of the puzzle have been assembled! Next... it’s time to break the stalemate.”

Without hesitation, Chu Bamboo got up and walked out of the Nuwa Base.

He looked up at the gray, hazy sky. Compared to the blue skies and white clouds of the Fourth District, the Third District, despite its shantytown renovations, was still heavily polluted due to its steam-powered industry.

Chu Bamboo took out his phone and made a call.

”Lao Hu! It’s me,” Chu Bamboo said in a calm and cheerful tone.

The other end was quiet for a good while before a voice said, ”You are...”

”You already recognized me! No need to play dumb, right?” Chu Bamboo scoffed. ”The great fisherman who’s happy for three days after catching a one-centimeter fish! I bet you have to stop by the fish market every time you go home, just so you have the confidence to walk in the door...”

”What nonsense are you spouting?” Hu Kaikang exploded, his voice laced with frantic indignation. ”You, with the surname Chu, how can you slander me out of thin air??”

”It’s because you were pretending not to know me... you damn dog-donkey! Alright, let’s not get sidetracked!” Chu Bamboo calmly changed the subject. ”You must be very curious how I know your identity, right? I heard about it from Zhang Hai!”

Chu Bamboo directly threw the blame onto a certain someone named Zhang! Of course, during the half-month in the real world and the countless resets in the Dream World, there was indeed one time when Chu Bamboo had pried the information out of Zhang Hai.

Hu Kaikang had indeed talked to Zhang Hai about this...

”...That guy! Is his mouth really that loose?” Hu Kaikang’s voice was finally tinged with some displeasure.

Chu Bamboo didn’t mention that he had used both threats and bribes to get the information, and naturally moved on to the next topic. ”Let’s meet up! Didn’t you tell him you wanted to take me as your disciple?”

”...This!” Hu Kaikang hesitated for a moment. ”How about tomorrow? I’m rather busy today...”

”...” Chu Bamboo’s eye twitched. ’Tomorrow? By tomorrow, I and the entire shantytown renovation district will be gone! And he says tomorrow... Plus, you’re busy... You really have the nerve to say that!’

’This old bastard isn’t being honest!’

”What a shame! I was planning to discuss a very crucial matter with you. Oh well, never mind! In that case, I’ll just go see Qian Shi...” Chu Bamboo casually dangled the bait. Qian Shi, of course, was not in Jinghai City at the moment, but... Chu Bamboo never said he was going to meet Qian Shi in Jinghai City!

He really was thinking of going to the Celestial Capital to see Qian Shi... Forget the fact that this was just a phone call! Even if Hu Kaikang were standing right in front of Chu Bamboo, and even if he truly had the ability to detect lies, he still wouldn’t sense anything wrong.

”!!!” Hu Kaikang was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed. ”This is really... I understand! I’ll meet with you...”

”Yes, and don’t believe that idiot! That fool might have told you a few things... but he’s not the real Bishop, after all!” Hu Kaikang said earnestly. ”It’s much better for you to take me as your master. What I can offer, as well as my status and position... the benefits to you are far greater than if you became his disciple.”
