Chapter 52: Returning Home Next Week

Chu Zhu could only finally say, "Anyway, according to the note I gave you, the stock you bought should triple this month! Just sell it at the end of the month, and don't check it in the meantime."

"Then next month, the second stock I gave you will also rise by two and a half times! And after that..."

As he spoke, Chu Zhu frowned. Oh no, although the stock market made money fast, it could only multiply a few times in a month! Although with stable compound interest, one hundred thousand yuan, plus the one hundred fifty thousand yuan from the lottery, could be stacked up to ten million in just a few months...

Chu Zhu took out his phone and quickly asked the AI, "Excuse me, is there a faster way to get rich overnight in a short time? Please speak your mind!"

Then, looking at the AI's response, Chu Zhu fell into a brief silence and put his phone away.

"What are you looking at?" Lin Xia asked, somewhat confused.

"I asked what methods there are to get rich overnight! The AI told me to check the Criminal Law... and then, there was no then!" Chu Zhu tugged at his hair.

The AI gave examples, like buying certain cryptocurrencies... under the premise of knowing the future situation, one could steadily get rich overnight!

However, since I can already determine the future, why would I get involved in things with legal risks? Wouldn't that be insane?

I certainly don't want to find out during my next entry into the dream that a prison record has been added to my future life log!

"...Isn't this speed of getting rich fast enough?" Lin Xia's face twisted. After struggling for a while, she pulled out a small red notebook she had taken out last time, flipped through a few pages, and said, "Well, this is the 'Get Rich Quick Manual' I summarized when I just started college! I was planning to try them one by one... I'll give it to you!"

"But then again, I feel that even if these succeed, the speed of getting rich actually still can't compare to stock trading..." Lin Xia spoke with internal conflict while placing the small red notebook in front of Chu Zhu.

Chu Zhu: "...Let me take a look!"

Rule number one: Start a livestream! Shoot cheesy videos! Do the flower-hand dance! After becoming popular, start selling products!

"..." Chu Zhu tried his absolute best to keep a straight face.

Rule number two: Become an actor? Cross. Consider shooting micro-dramas? Cross. Write novels? Cross. Sing and dance? Cross.

She made four suggestions, and all of them were crossed out afterwards! Clearly, Lin Xia had a very clear self-awareness of her own situation.

Chu Zhu fell into deep contemplation. It wasn't that he really wanted to get into acting or micro-dramas, but looking at "writing novels," he thought that there should be quite a lot of future scientific research materials stored within the Nuwa database. Then, recalling his previous plan to start a company...

Well, it seemed he wasn't limited to just dabbling in AI? Writing novels could be changed to memorizing scientific data! Then writing it down, finding someone to replicate it, starting a company, and securing patents... he could do pretty much anything!

"It's feasible... However, under this dream-traveling environment! I can only forcibly rely on my memory and then replicate it in the real world... After becoming a transcendent, my memory is very strong, so I temporarily don't need to worry too much about misremembering! But... the efficiency of this method is still not high!"

Summary: Worth a try!

"Damn it." Chu Zhu suddenly remembered the massive pile of various novels, movies, and TV shows he had seen in the future Nuwa 17th database.

He tugged at his hair in some distress. Why didn't they just give him a flash drive he could carry around?

Give him a flash drive, and he would dare step on his left foot with his right foot and take his hometown civilization straight to the stars!

What extraterrestrial civilizations? Mere ants!

Earth civilization would directly crush all enemies across the board!

Let them know what it means to be hacked... Oh no, I mean, let the extraterrestrial civilizations know what it means to give civilization "Deep Blue" a stat boost!

Suddenly, his phone rang.

Chu Zhu raised an eyebrow, took a look, and saw it was a WeChat call from Coach Yuan Qiang.

Chu Zhu didn't answer it.

He continued eating with Lin Xia.

A moment later, his phone vibrated again, and the person calling this time was...

"Dad?" Chu Zhu's expression became subtle. He knew this day would come.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Zhu answered the call and said straightforwardly, "Coach Yuan must have called you guys, right? I have my own judgment about that matter! You don't need to interfere. Anyway, I'll definitely bring back a sports championship trophy for you in the future!"

"No! That's not the issue. And don't rush to hang up!" Nobody knows a son better than his father. The moment Father Chu heard this bullet-train-like speaking speed, he knew what Chu Zhu was thinking. "My question is, how did you run into a scammer?"

Chu Zhu: "?"

"What national sports coach, what track and field champion... The more I think about it, the more unreliable it sounds! Could you have run into a scam? Let me state this in advance, giving you a thousand yuan in living expenses every month is my absolute limit! If you get scammed, you can go find a part-time job to earn your own money and learn your lesson!" Father Chu said earnestly, "Forget about any sports championships!"

Track and field champion? Are you trying to fool him? Did you really think he hadn't watched all those anti-fraud promotional videos on the internet?

Back when Chu Zhu was in his edgy phase as a child and insisted that dreams were real, stubbornly rebelling against him while getting beaten with a stick, he had never shown any potential of being a track and field champion! As the saying goes, you can tell what a person will be like at eighteen by the time they are eight; when he was a kid, he couldn't even outrun him, and now you're telling me he grew up to be a track and field champion?

Heh, if he believed that, would the next step be telling him the upcoming Olympics were going to be held in Northern Myanmar?

"Anyway, don't leave the province during this period. Today's scammers really don't have any credibility in their words... They even claimed the school principal was right beside him! Who would believe such nonsense? Highly deceitful. Wait, looking at your previous attitude... You didn't actually believe it, did you?"

Chu Zhu: "..."

Very good, exceptionally good! This actually exceeded his expectations. He originally thought his parents would interfere with him in this area, but he never expected...

"I didn't believe it, I didn't! I was mainly just worried about you over there!" Chu Zhu didn't say much more. Under the current circumstances, saying too much would only make things extremely complicated, including the matter of the dreams...

Actually, Chu Zhu was having a bit of a headache now; he shouldn't have been so flamboyant and edgy when he was young.

However, from the current perspective, the risks were still within an acceptable range! For now, he would temporarily keep the news that "dreams are roughly equivalent to the future" restricted to the scope of Lin Xia alone, and constantly monitor it through the future—

If a truly obscure and difficult risk were to appear—

Chu Zhu's gaze sharpened for a fraction of a second, then he would just have to see if he could pull a memory-erasing method from the future, and then use it on Lin Xia, who wasn't a transcendent!

I'll let Lin Xia suffer a bit, and I'll take the blame!

After chatting for a couple more sentences, Chu Zhu hung up the phone. Subsequently, Chu Zhu and Lin Xia parted ways and headed straight back to school.

At four in the afternoon, Lin Xia sent a WeChat message stating that the bonus had been successfully collected, and proudly expressed that she didn't let the red-cross scammers at the entrance fleece her out of any donation wool. Along with that, she sent a stock chart hitting its daily limit and a meme of the Dragon King smirking.

Chu Zhu: "..."

Chu Zhu exited WeChat, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately chose to look up information on Zhao Shao in the real world as well.

"A native of Zhejiang Province! In his early twenties! Wow, he has even taken photos with quite a few celebrities! A mountain of reports from various self-media outlets, and even a few official media reports! He attends a bunch of activities, and his daily schedule is packed to the brim. Is he really a senior in college? Wait, this sense of déjà vu..."

Chu Zhu rubbed his head. Had he seen this template of a profile somewhere before?

Oh... it seemed a bit similar to a certain "returning to the country next week"!

Wait.
