Chapter 314 264: Chu Bamboo: What Do You Mean the Daqian Imperial Family Are My Descendants?

Surveying the familiar Ecological Garden around him, Chu Bamboo took a deep breath. "Finally, I'm back!"

He performed his usual check of the surroundings and discovered that the shantytowns had once again spread to cover the entire Third District.

"Nuwa No. 17, pull up Chu Bamboo's diary." The moment he finished speaking, a screen of light materialized.

Chu Bamboo glanced over it, his brow gradually furrowing. He ignored the parts of the diary that were similar to his previous life, and he didn't even bother to carefully read the various technical documents recorded this time around.

After all, since he was in the territory of the White-headed Eagle, he still hadn't managed to materialize the robotics and related programs he'd finished reading about last time—

More importantly, Chu Bamboo had come to realize that for someone like him, who could continuously enter the Dream World, the technical data itself wasn't what mattered. What truly mattered was the ability to replicate concrete results in the real world.

'He still ran away, as expected... huh?' Chu Bamboo pressed his lips together, eyeing the contents written by his other self with suspicion.

"...How do I put this? You really can't treat James like an idiot. For some reason, he's dead set on believing that I'm the Fool! He's constantly dropping hints at me..."

Even when I ignored him completely, he acted as if he understood what I was supposedly implying! He even told me that my contact with Hodges had made certain people unhappy...

But, James said not to worry, because he'd taken care of all that crap for me!"

Chu Bamboo: "..."

'What a mastermind, huh???'

Of course, even with all that, his other self had still unhesitatingly bolted on May 5th... Hmm, perhaps it was because his other self had skipped town so inexplicably that James and his people had no idea what was happening...

That's why, at first, they didn't actually put out a bounty!

He'd been on the run for two full days before they finally offered a reward!

But by then, his other self had already reached the ruins of the Maya Civilization!

"...Although I got Hodges to the ruins of the Maya Civilization much earlier this time.

The Golden Dawn members stationed here still killed Huo Yuan the moment they sensed something was wrong? No, this time they just started a fire, which ended up killing a third of the people here!

They weren't actually targeting Huo Yuan. They were just... being equitable and killing everyone!

And Hodges self-destructed again...

I'm numb! Is this guy a suicide bomber? 'My daughter is dead, I no longer care about right or wrong, so let's all die together!' Is that it?

Future Bamboo, let me warn you about something, so pay attention! When you get inside, don't just randomly imitate the faces of the mid-to-high-level personnel... They all have to do daily retinal scans!

You need to replicate Thousand Shadows and Transformations from the future, then you can just have a shadow sneak its way in...

Damn it, it's all your fault for not replicating it! Otherwise, why would I be stuck on this part?

Chu Bamboo: "..."

'Why are you blaming me?!'

Speechless or not, as Chu Bamboo continued to read, he had to admit that the information his other self had recorded about the Maya Civilization was comparatively more detailed this time.

Of course, it was only surface-level information... As for the deeper parts, his other self hadn't dared to venture there at all!

'Maybe you'd only dare go in there if you had the Thousand Shadows and Ten Thousand Transformations Divine Techniques,' Chu Bamboo silently griped. No wonder his other self kept harping on about it.

Of course! When Chu Bamboo put himself in his other self's shoes and remembered how the version from a previous timeline had perished inside without a trace... he wouldn't want to touch this death trap either!

As he continued reading, Chu Bamboo's gaze suddenly sharpened.

"...Unexpectedly, this time, I found some Shen Zhou people! They're construction engineers from the Divine Continent. They originally came to Nanmo for a construction project, but they were kidnapped! Then they were forced to operate all sorts of heavy machinery to excavate the ruins of the Maya Civilization."

"The enemy's merciless slaughter resulted in heavy casualties among the Shen Zhou workers and engineers! In the end, only one hundred and twenty-seven of them survived.

I kind of suspect that the reason I never saw these men in a previous timeline was because... they were slaughtered even before the women who were sacrificed!

Sigh. I'm so angry I'm shaking. Is this the kind of discrimination men have to endure?! I had a whole speech about this, but I forgot the beginning, the end, and the middle."

Chu Bamboo: "..."

"I contacted the embassy, and the ambassador is actually a fan of my music! Umm, that was a shock...

Yeah, after chatting with him for a bit, I realized I'd underestimated the power of a triple-sized promotional budget! Especially here in Southern Mexico, the White-headed Eagle's own backyard!

For a while there, it was no exaggeration to say the Moxie were seeing my face and hearing my songs from morning till night. Plus, my songs are genuinely awesome!

On top of that, Zhao Shao and Lin Xia have been pushing hard, too! Their strategy of combining short-form videos on overseas TikTok with my music is truly unstoppable!

I had Z run a rough estimate, and she said I have at least eighty million fans worldwide right now... Of course, they're not all die-hard fans. But at least a billion people have heard my music or seen my face and have a basic impression of who I am...

I was terrified, I tell you!"

Chu Bamboo was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly realized that if his other self didn't have at least that much influence... he could hardly be called a global superstar!

"The ambassador said he feels I could be the next Jackie Chan! Another cultural icon for the Divine Continent... He was laying it on so thick I almost floated away!

Although I suspect that's just because I rescued a bunch of people, which counts as a feather in his cap... wait, does it really count as a credit for him? Whatever, I'll let him have it!"

"The journey back wasn't easy! After we got to the embassy, it was impossible to cover our tracks since I'd rescued so many people this time...
