Chapter 10 Final Preparations Before Transmigration

The next morning, Zhou Jue was woken up by a system notification.

[Host, there are 6 hours until your next travel time.]

Zhou Jue checked the time; it was six in the morning. She had only slept for three hours last night, but her energy was surprisingly high.

"It seems the effects of the Silver Flower Fruit are really long-lasting," she muttered to herself.

After getting up and washing up, Zhou Jue went to the dining room. Chief Zhang, Chen Jianguo, Cheng Gan, and Sun Jiuchou were already waiting for her.

"Xiao Jue, how did you sleep?" Chief Zhang asked with concern.

"Not bad." Zhou Jue sat down. "Commander, you've arrived so early?"

"Today is a big day, of course I had to come," Chief Zhang said with a smile. "Have something to eat, there's still some final preparation work to be done in a bit."

After breakfast, the group arrived at a special room. The room was filled with various monitoring devices.

“Xiao Jue, these devices are used to monitor various data during your time travel,” Chen Jianguo explained. “Although we don’t know if they can detect anything, we should at least give it a try.”

Zhou Jue nodded. "Is there anything I can do?"

"You don't need to do anything, just travel through time normally."

"By the way, Xiao Jue," Sun Jiuchou said, taking out a small notebook. "These are the notes I compiled last night. Take a look."

Zhou Jue took the notebook, which was covered with dense writing:

1. Upon arriving in the new world, observe the surroundings and only take action after confirming it is safe.

2. When encountering intelligent beings, try to make friendly contact first; only consider force if that fails.

3. Collect samples of local plants, minerals, and water sources.

4. If possible, try to learn about the local culture and social structure.

...

19. Don't readily display "common sense" about Earth; try to appear as similar to the locals as possible.

20. Protect yourself; safety first.

"Thank you, Teacher Sun." Zhou Jue put the notebook away. "I'll be more careful."

"And these books, which I haven't had time to read yet, take them with you. This is the reading list and a general overview of the contents. You can refer to them if you have the opportunity after you travel through time." Sun Jiuchou pointed to a stack of books next to him.

The system notification reads: "4 hours remaining until crossing the barrier."

"Xiao Jue, how are you feeling right now?" Cheng Gan asked.

"I'm a little nervous, but mostly excited," Zhou Jue said. "I don't know which world I'll be going to this time."

"No matter where you go, remember one thing," Commander Zhang said sternly, "You are not fighting alone; the entire nation is behind you."

Zhou Jue nodded, feeling a warm feeling in his heart.

"Oh, right, Xiao Jue," Chen Jianguo suddenly remembered something, "Can your system take people on time travel?"

"Bring people through time?" Zhou Jue asked.

"Yes! I've been reading a lot of system-based transmigration novels these past few days, and last night I saw one where the protagonist can bring others through time. If you could do that too, we could send a professional team to accompany you."

As soon as Chen Jianguo finished speaking, the entire laboratory erupted in excitement, their eyes fixed intently on Zhou Jue!

"That's a good idea." Zhou Jue's eyes lit up, and he asked in his mind, "Brother Tongzi, can you bring other people through time?"

"no!"

"Traveling requires passing through wormholes and jumping through time and space, which will cause spacetime distortion. Apart from the host, the system has no time to take care of anything else."

Zhou Jue relayed the system's message to everyone.

Seeing Zhou Jue's somewhat disappointed look, Chief Zhang chuckled and comforted him, "Although we can't travel through time with you, you've learned a lot these past few days. I believe in you, and you'll be able to come back safely. We're all waiting for you at home."

"Yes, Xiao Jue must put your safety first. You also have the system's energy shield, so don't be afraid!"

"We've extracted a very active factor from the Blue Abyss Lake water you brought back, and we're working hard to turn it into a health-enhancing liquid. When you come back next time, we'll definitely let you soak in it, so your physical condition can improve rapidly."

Seeing everyone rushing to comfort him, Zhou Jue was somewhat moved. Oh no, this darn incontinence of tears I have to hold back!

[2 hours until the crossing]

"Xiao Jue, should we check the equipment again?" Cheng Gan suggested.

"good."

Zhou Jue began to inspect the equipment in the Starry Sky Box. Weapons, food, water, medicine, tools... everything was there.

"I think I could survive for another ten or eight years even if I went to a desert island to survive," Zhou Jue joked.

"That's good." Commander Zhang smiled. "That's exactly what we wanted to give you that confidence."

[One hour until the crossing]

The atmosphere in the meeting room became tense.

"Xiao Jue, let's double-check," Chen Jianguo said. "After you returned from your last 24-hour journey, was it still the same day?"

“Yes, I didn’t check the exact time, but it’s still in the morning.” Zhou Jue nodded.

"Okay, this time we'll record it accurately and see how the flow of time changes."

"good."

[30 minutes until the crossing]

"Is everyone in place?" Commander Zhang asked.

"Everything is in place," Chen Jianguo replied. "All monitoring equipment has been activated, and the medical team is ready."

"Okay, then let's wait and see."

The last thirty minutes seemed to drag on. Zhou Jue sat in his chair, silently reviewing the knowledge he had gained over the past two days.

[10 minutes until we cross over]

"Xiao Jue, is there anything you want to say?" Chief Zhang asked.

"Sir, please don't get too excited if I bring back even more this time," Zhou Jue joked.

"Haha, okay, I'll try my best to control it." Chief Zhang laughed.

[5 minutes until we cross over]

Zhou Jue walked into a closed room, the glass door closed, and he greeted everyone through the glass before sitting down.

"Brother Tongzi, what do you think the next world will be like?"

"This... I don't know either. The coordinates in the multiverse are random."

"Have you linked your account to anyone else before?"

"No, the host is my first host."

"Huh? You have so little experience?"

"Although I lack experience, I have a strong learning ability! And I possess a complete multiverse database! It's just that I don't have enough energy to open it right now..."

"Alright, let's figure it out together then."

[One minute until we can travel through time]

The room fell silent, with only the buzzing of the monitoring equipment breaking the silence.

"Xiao Jue, keep it up!"

"You must come back safely."

[10, 9, 8... 3, 2, 1]

A blinding white light flashed, and Zhou Jue disappeared from the room.

The data on the monitoring equipment fluctuated wildly, but quickly returned to calm.

"Has the data been recorded?" Chief Zhang asked.

“It’s been recorded, but…” Chen Jianguo looked at the screen, “we didn’t detect anything.”

"What's the meaning?"

"In other words, from a scientific point of view, Zhou Jue simply vanished into thin air."

Silence fell over the room.

"Never mind, at least we know she did time travel," Chief Zhang said. "Now we can only wait for her to come back."

"Have someone monitor her here around the clock." Chief Zhang glanced at his watch. "Based on the last time's timing, unless the survival mission takes too long, she should be back soon!"
