This figure that suddenly appeared, only made a sound when approaching this close, making it hard to discern gender, but from the details of the eyes barely exposed, Lin Li believed it should be a woman,

Her gaze first looked at Tao Zhe and Dou Dizhu nearby, and then locked onto Lin Li, who was holding Beauty's head.

From the exposed eyes, it could be seen that her shock was no less than Lin Li's.

And in the next moment, she raised her hand, and what she was holding was aimed at Lin Li.

Time to bolt.

Lin Li let go, Beauty's head fell to the ground, white light flickered, and he returned to the modern bathroom.

"Phew—"

Lin Li took a deep breath.

The thing she was just holding and aiming at him looked a bit like a gun barrel.

Though just a bit, Lin Li did not plan to gamble.

In this apocalyptic world, human nature is the most scrutinized, who knows if she might attack him in the next moment?

He only has one revival armor, and to get another one after using it, who knows how long it would take, wasting it here would be a huge loss.

Lin Li was already relieved that this person hadn't ambushed him from afar.

Calming his emotions, Lin Li looked at the backup device on the washing machine.

The stopwatch software was still timing.

"0.01.03.77"

One small… no wait, Lin Li widened his eyes, how has it only been one minute and three seconds?

He took his phone from his chest and checked the time. Since it was set to auto-adjust time when online, the phone now showed it was ten forty-two in the evening.

It was indeed Monday night now.

But he indeed had estimated that he was in that world for about three hours.

Does time flow differently in the two worlds? One minute in reality being a few hours in that world?

But this time, going there was a whole week apart from the last time. At this rate, shouldn't that apocalyptic world have undergone great changes? At the very least, a year or two should have passed?

But both times he arrived, except Beauty moved, other scenes hadn't changed much.

It couldn't be that Beauty had been waiting for him for a year or two.

Temporarily suppressing the confusion about time, Lin Li began to check himself.

There was a mirror in the bathroom, so Lin Li could see clearly. His clothes and backpack now were far less dirty than they had been just moments ago.

The traces of clotted blood and rotten flesh had almost completely disappeared, leaving only some dust from crawling on the ground.

Especially his hands, this change was most apparent.

"Did nothing related to zombies come back? Gone without a trace like ants?"

"No, it should have stayed in the original world, unable to be brought over."

Lin Li squatted down, found the ant on the bathroom floor, and it was still alive.

That means when he crossed over, it was with the small box around it, but it alone wasn't brought back.

Lin Li placed the backpack on the shower floor, and the first thing he checked was the pocket next to the backpack.

The broken gold bracelet was displayed intact within.

And the bits of blood and flesh originally clinging to it were also gone.

It seemed to fit his expectations, anything related to zombies couldn't be brought back to reality, staying instead in the original world.

But that wasn't entirely a bad thing, it was exactly the part Lin Li was most worried about.

Lin Li immediately relaxed, took off the layers of protection, and began cleaning the protective gear.

The fruit knife without traces of flesh, looked almost brand new.

The steel rod was left by the ground when he kissed Beauty, and wasn't brought back; it was just bought for 108, now gone like this, hopefully that so-called sis—or possibly bro—doesn't steal it.

Bracelet, oh bracelet, you better be pure gold, or I'll be angry.

He sprayed it with pre-prepared disinfectant, and after confirming there was no blood or flesh remaining, Lin Li tossed the clothes into the washing machine.

It was time to rinse, freshen up, and sleep.

After freshening up, Lin Li returned to the couch in the living room, his right hand entered a paralysis state accumulating [Charge] counts, while his left hand played with the bracelet.

So far, it hasn't faded.

Then he picked up his phone and began watching the videos he recorded.

Everything was there, the footage was very clear, if posted on foreign internet, it might be considered top-tier CG by experts—a domestic release wouldn't pass censoring.

Clicking on more information on the video, the filming time showed it was shot tomorrow, location unknown.

Speaking of which, if this video were uploaded online, would it generate traffic, could he earn money with it?

Forget it, better not attract any unnecessary attention.

Just stick to making money in a straightforward way.

The bracelet wasn't too thick, but if it were pure gold, its current value might be around seven or eight thousand, even with depreciation in resale, five or six thousand would be certain.

"Before returning from that world next time, be sure to put the device in airplane mode and leave a timing device there, to officially confirm the time flow between the two sides next visit," Lin Li muttered to himself.

He opened the system, and like before, the third button lit up.

No text, no pressing it.

Yawning, now Lin Li's body was only left with fatigue, time to rest.

Although he didn't do much, the tension for several hours, and hours of [Ear Divine Power] activation, left Lin Li mentally and physically exhausted.

...

Tuesday.

"According to unofficial histories, Zhou Yu was not angered to death by Zhuge Liang. He wasn't so fragile. After being intellectually crushed by Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu felt his heartbeat become irregular, and immediately sought treatment from the famous doctor Hua Tuo.

Hua Tuo, after examining him, said the issue wasn't serious, stating: 'No major concern, just a fit of rage, take this medicine today, you'll be well by dawn tomorrow.'

Zhou Yu nodded and followed the medical advice, but the next day died due to excessive urination from the medicine.

The people of the Wu Kingdom discovered this and thought it more dignified for Zhou Yu to be recorded as having been angered to death, so later generations recorded it that way."

Bai Bufan's voice arrived fashionably late.

Damn, where does Bai Bufan get all these obscure Three Kingdoms anecdotes, they're endless!

Returning to his seat, he distributed breakfast.

"Why are you so happy?" Seeing Bai Bufan grinning, Lin Li asked in surprise.

"It's nothing." Bai Bufan started slurping his noodles, unable to suppress a grin, and even asked with a smile, "Lin Li, why do you look so gloomy?"

Lin Li shrugged helplessly, if you hugged and kissed Beauty last night, you'd be gloomy too.

But Bai Bufan's joy seemed a bit off; his normal state today should be crying out in despair.

But under Lin Li's relentless questioning, Bai Bufan just kept denying everything.

Even hiding it from his brothers, Bai Bufan really needed some spanking.

"Bao Wei, what's Bufan laughing about?" Lin Li had no choice but to ask his roommate, Zhou Baowei.

"I don't know, I'm puzzled too, it's inexplicable." Zhou Baowei shook his head.

Lin Li and Zhou Baowei exchanged a glance and looked at Bai Bufan: "Bufan, Shang Yang can be divided by five, do you want to be divided by two?"

Bai Bufan: "?"

As a famous political thinker from the Warring States period who proposed the theory of horse-splitting, Shang Yang is a rare existence that can be divided by five besides integers ending in 5 or 0.

"Cough cough, don't do anything yet, I'll talk, I'll talk." Seeing that he was about to be dismembered, Bai Bufan coughed a few times, then hurriedly lowered his voice and explained:

"I just heard a theory—

On the first day of every new school week, you should wear happiness on your face to confuse those around you, making them think that you've achieved some progress in life, causing others to feel pressure invisibly, or even give up in despair, so you can win at the starting line.

Just like flipping through the exam paper ten minutes early during tests."

Lin Li, Zhou Baowei: "?"

"Bufan, talking through your butt is just for fun, if you really want to fart, it depends on your mouth." Lin Li gave a thumbs up.

"No, it's effective, you see, weren't you two just anxious?" Bai Bufan argued his point.

Upon hearing this, Lin Li and Zhou Baowei squinted their eyes.

...

"What are you guys happy about?"

"What exactly are you laughing at?"

"Speak up you three! What the hell are you laughing and laughing at?"

Watching Wang Ze getting increasingly anxious.

The three of them, Bai, Lin, and Zhou, laughed even more happily.

...

"What are you laughing at? Why are you so happy?"

"No, what the hell are you four idiots doing?"

...

Many diseases can be contagious.

The Chinese representative stood on the podium, ready for early reading, but when she saw that half the boys in the class had strange smiles on their faces, she got scared.

Damn, Class 4 of Grade 1 is haunted.

...

"The honor roll has been updated."

When they came back from their run, everyone saw the honor roll had changed color.

When Lin Li noticed this, he immediately glanced at Bai Bufan.

The two immediately hooked arms.

"Come on, let everyone witness our sincere brotherhood." Lin Li was full of sincerity.

"Okay!" Bai Bufan nodded heavily.

The two of them went to the honor roll.

Lin Li was ranked first on the progress chart due to the largest improvement.

"Lin Li: Bai Bufan is right."

Lin Li smiled.

This was his "thoughts to say" that he changed without involving anything illegal.

In this way, it matched Bai Bufan's "Without Lin Li, I would not have made such progress," achieving a subtle backstab.

No choice, the more aggressive Xue Jian wouldn't agree.

"You backstabbed me?" Bai Bufan instantly grabbed Lin Li's collar.

"I, I didn't, I don't know how it happened... maybe Old Jian changed it himself." Lin Li stammered.

"It's fine, the change is good." Bai Bufan immediately let go, smiling.

Lin Li's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly searched the honor roll for Bai Bufan.

Found it!

"Bai Bufan: With Lin Li's excellence, I don't know what to say, but my progress does have his contribution, so I'll recite a poem 'Friendship.'

I remember the virtuous friends of the past, the bonds enduring through the years. Sharing the beauty of forest and spring waters, the friendship remains long and wide. The love between father and son is not this sentiment, the kinship with friends can compare."

Lin Li: "?"

How come Bai Bufan's changed too?

Wait a minute.

Lin Li squinted his eyes.

As an expert in acrostic poems, Lin Li immediately saw that this guy's lousy saliva poem was also an acrostic!!

I, Am, Lin, Li's, Father, Dear.

Realizing this, Bai Bufan's collar was instantly lifted by Lin Li.

While Bai Bufan continued smiling, he looked at Lin Li, word by word, and said: "Bai Bufan is right, thank you."

Lin Li: "..."

No, what about the honor roll review? Xue Jian's review? What were they all doing! How could they trust that Bai Bufan could spew poetry from his mouth? There must be a trick!

Now it's done, indeed achieving a subtle backstab, but the problem is this time the backstab was Bai Bufan backstabbing himself.

Damn, found a stealthy way for this guy to attack me!

"When did you talk to Xue Jian?" Lin Li hollered in disbelief.

"Half a minute after you left the office." Bai Bufan showed a harmless smile.

Lin Li: "..."

What else could he say?

Lin Li: "Good! Brother!"

Bai Bufan: "For! Life!"

...

Wishing everyone a Happy Lunar New Year! Happy Year of the Snake! Good! Brother! For! Life!
