Chapter 7 Oh no, I've become the protagonist's fat best friend!
Back home from the playground, Zhou Shen was still preoccupied.
He didn't know how effective his reminder would be, but in the current situation, that was all he could do.
Moreover, he also regretted that, as a reborn person, he had been too hasty. He and Hu Biao were good friends, but he really shouldn't have said this on impulse. Not only would saying it not have much effect, but it would also make Hu Biao suspicious or even resentful after the incident.
In his previous life, Hongda Real Estate won the bid for the Nanshuwan land for development. However, when construction was halfway through, an excavator driven by a graduate of Lanxiang Vocational School accidentally detonated a bomb left behind by the Japanese during the war.
Hongda's sky has fallen!
What followed was bankruptcy liquidation, and the Hu family never recovered.
Now that he's been reborn, he finds that there are some things he can't change even after being reborn. After all, he's just a high school student, and no one listens to what he says. He can only try to find a way to remind Hu Biao. However, when Hu Biao is mentioned, he has a question: why is this kid suddenly training his body? It wasn't like this in his previous life!
Could it be the butterfly effect caused by my rebirth?
That doesn't make sense either. What does my rebirth have to do with him? And my behavior is perfectly normal. How could there be any butterfly effect?
※※※
On the school playground, Hu Biao squinted for a long time before confirming that it was indeed a bomb.
It's quite terrifying at first glance, but once you get used to it, it's not so bad.
"Zhou Shen said those inexplicable things, telling the old man not to bid. Was it because of this?"
He rubbed his nose, utterly puzzled. "If it's because of this, how did he know? If not, what is it for? This kid is clearly suspicious!"
He blinked, and the scene in front of him disappeared. He had run three laps and was completely soaked. He felt very uncomfortable.
He rode his bicycle home, took a shower, and returned to his room. He blinked, and the Wulong Lake Villa appeared before his eyes. He reached out and fiddled with it a few times, like turning a globe, and shifted the image to a quiet neighborhood in the city center. Then he zoomed in on a small courtyard within the villa, and zoomed in again to a room on the second floor, where Zhou Shen was sitting at a table writing something.
"He's already a top student, yet he's still so hardworking. No wonder he's someone else's kid." Seeing Zhou Shen engrossed in writing something, he became curious and focused his gaze on the notebook in front of Zhou Shen…
"Holy crap, this..."
Upon seeing what Zhou Shen had written, Hu Biao's pupils instantly constricted.
"On May 6, 3026, the Nam Shu Wan bombing occurred. It was later proven to be an unexploded bomb dropped by the Japanese during the war. As a result, the developer, Hung Tat Real Estate, went bankrupt. The plan to prevent Hung Tat from bidding through Hu Biao failed..."
"Starting in April 2025, Xindamei's stock hit the daily limit for twelve consecutive days, with the highest price reaching 145 yuan..."
"In December 3028, Wang Shanmeng robbed the tomb of the First Emperor, causing devastating damage to the tomb and revealing the Qin Emperor's Bone-Illuminating Mirror."
"In January 3030, news of the prehistoric civilization ruins began to circulate online."
“…………”
“…………”
After Zhou Shen wrote a full page, the latest possible date was 3058, and he was completely distraught.
Please, it's only 3025 now!!
Watching Zhou Shen close the notebook in his hand and carefully place it at the deepest part of the bookcase, Hu Biao was nothing but shocked.
He's truly a reincarnated being!
This is the main character!
Oh no, I've become the protagonist's best friend, Fatty?
But I'm not fat!
If he had seen this before awakening his abilities, he would never have believed it. His worldview would have collapsed, and his Dao heart would have been shattered. But now that he has become the master, the absurd plot of rebirth, which only appears in online novels, is just a piece of cake!
So what if you're reborn?
Can you, the reborn one, move stars? Can you use the blue planet as a racket? Can you cross the end of the universe in one step?
Can't you?
If you can't, then don't have such a strong sense of responsibility, my friend!
After Zhou Shen hid the record, he buried himself in studying, which made Hu Biao's teeth ache. "You've been reborn, why are you still working so hard?"
Don't you have foresight and know about stock market information?
unlucky!
I hate people like you who are so pedantic!
However, as a reborn person, he still thought of helping me after being reborn. He is indeed a good friend. I should remember this favor. When I attain enlightenment in the future, he will also be qualified to ascend to heaven with me.
He made a mental note of this favor, blinked, and the scene before him shifted back to the rusty, yet still ominous, aerial bomb. He pursed his lips.
"Tsk, a bomb, from wartime. Shouldn't it be returned to its rightful owner?"
"Returning lost property—what do you call that? That's positive energy!"
His gaze swept across the room, finally settling on the half-empty mineral water bottle on the desk. He unscrewed the cap, positioned it under the bomb, and gently scooped it up like a dumpling, placing the bomb inside. At that moment, the bottle cap in his hand was in a state of "divine grace," possessing higher-dimensional properties. The aerial bomb, originally nearly two meters long and weighing hundreds of kilograms, appeared to be only the size of a grain of rice inside the higher-dimensional bottle cap.
Then, his vision shifted. He stretched out his left hand, the blue star spinning at his fingertips. His gaze crossed the ocean, locking onto that long, narrow island nation. He fiddled with the map, zooming in until he found the iconic, snow-capped, cone-shaped mountain—the Fuji apple.
He aimed at the hole in the Fuji apple and poured the bomb from the bottle cap into it.
The rice-grain-sized bomb instantly broke free from the bottle cap's restraints, regaining its original size and weight, and with the acceleration of free fall, plummeted straight down into the crater where molten lava was churning.
Hu Biao watched as the bomb pierced through the thin air above the crater and was instantly swallowed by the surging, dark red lava below.
There was no explosion, at least not yet.
It may be completely melted down by the deep-buried magma and high pressure, or it may bring a little "surprise" to this dormant volcano at some unexpected moment.
"Alright, return it to its rightful owner!"
Hu Biao smiled, no longer caring about the bomb. He put down the bottle cap, blinked, and the scene before him shifted back to Zhou Shen's room. All of this happened in just a few seconds. Zhou Shen had just hidden his notebook and hadn't even reached the door yet.
Hu Biao watched him leave the room, then started fiddling with the screen again, zooming in on the view inside. Zhou Shen's hidden notebook appeared in front of him. He was about to reach for it, but then seemed to remember something and shifted his gaze to his desk. He found a bottle of glue, applied it to his hand, and waited for it to dry before reaching out and taking the notebook.
He knew Zhou Shen well; besides being a top student, he was very meticulous. Now that he had been reborn, he should have a strong sense of vigilance.
Therefore, we still need to be cautious.
The notebook is a typical hard-cover copy with no markings on the cover.
With curiosity in mind, Hu Biao turned to the first page.
Information on several speculative stocks, as well as some major social news that will occur in the near future.
"This guy is still as realistic as ever!" Hu Biao chuckled, took out his phone, and snapped a picture of the content.
Then the second page, the third page, and so on up to the seventh page...
This is the last one.
After taking pictures of everything, Hu Biao put the notebook back in its original place.
Whether Zhou Shen will discover that his precious notebook has been tampered with after he returns is none of his business.
Next, we will view the contents.
The content is disjointed, and can even be described as chaotic.
Scattered and disjointed, as if hastily scribbled down for fear of forgetting, the most frequently appearing, and also the one he least understood, was a single phrase: "prehistoric civilization relics!"
