I'm a Reincarnator!

Chang Hanshan followed behind Zhang Miaoran, nervously entering Zhou Zhe's office.

None of the three spoke, the atmosphere somewhat tense.

A moment later, Zhou Zhe's gaze fell on Chang Hanshan, and he suddenly spoke, "trans-8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide."

"???"

The Muggle's confusion.

Zhou Zhe chuckled, "Based on the intelligence I've gathered, plus some observation and analysis, I can confirm..."

"The biggest nemesis of the Sweet Star people is trans-8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide."

"Which is capsaicin."

With the [Absolute Comprehension] talent activated, Zhou Zhe's brain was becoming more and more useful.

Many things he had seen and heard before, which were piled up in the deep recesses of his brain, serving no purpose whatsoever, existing almost as junk information...

Now, they were all being utilized, becoming valuable knowledge.

Although there was still a gap in knowledge reserves compared to professional researchers, he could at least understand many scientific papers that were once like hieroglyphics to him.

In addition to this, there were languages like English, Japanese, and Korean.

Thanks to TV dramas and movies, Zhou Zhe had also basically mastered them, and could communicate daily in these languages without any barriers—though, with the translation function of the Black Iron Imprint, these skills were rather useless.

Even though these languages had not been recognized by the mysterious notebook, nor converted into skills, it didn't matter. After all, Chinese, which Zhou Zhe had grown up reading, had also not been classified as a skill.

Looking at Chang Hanshan, who was pretending to be oblivious, Zhou Zhe said leisurely, "To deal with an opponent with such an obvious weakness, all you need to do is get a little bit of the mild Lao Gan Ma Black Bean Sauce on your lips while eating, and then bite him when you have the chance. That would be enough to make him lose all resistance."

"You used this method the first time you killed him, right?"

"This time, you added the Carolina Reaper pepper to the blade oil..."

"Honestly, it's a bit of bullying."

Zhang Miaoran, standing beside them, blinked her eyes.

The first time?

This time?

Although she didn't quite understand, Ah Zhe seemed so amazing!

Ah Zhe is indeed the most amazing!

Zhang Miaoran, lost in a fog, looked adorably dazed and cute, her little face flushed as if she had thought of something.

As for the person in question, her Muggle best friend...

She had initially wanted to play dumb and get away with it, but now that Zhou Zhe had said so much, pretending further was pointless.

"Are you reborn from ten years in the future?"

"I'm coming clean, I'm a reborn person!"

Zhou Zhe and Chang Hanshan's voices rang out almost simultaneously.

"No way? That accurate?"

The Muggle best friend's face showed a look of disbelief, "Are you reborn too?"

Zhou Zhe smiled and shook his head, raising a finger, "The first time we met, you called me 'Your Highness Zhe' very smoothly, which didn't sound like you had just encountered the term."

His second finger: "During this period, you've mentioned 'ten years' a total of five times."

His third finger: "You know Du Gu Xiu and Ji Nuo very well. However, I had people investigate, and the records show that you have never met them in this life, nor have you had any direct or indirect contact."

"With a little thought, it's easy to deduce the answer."

After speaking, Zhou Zhe turned his head to look at Zhang Miaoran.

Their eyes met.

(My Miaoran is still more beautiful.)

(Ah Zhe is still amazing! He figured out the reborn person so quickly! Wait? My best friend is reborn???)

Chang Hanshan, who had had her fill of public displays of affection, had a very complex expression, her eyes mixed with relief and worry, "Your Highness Zhe, you're not going to send me for dissection, are you?"

Zhou Zhe glanced at her with disdain, "You're having a paranoid delusion."

"Perhaps your social status wasn't very high before you were reborn, and you didn't have access to higher-level secret information."

"I've been cooperating with the Supernatural Affairs Department recently, and I've obtained a lot of relevant intelligence from Director Huang."

"To put it simply, I'll give you some peace of mind!"

Upon saying this, Zhou Zhe paused, his tone solemn, "The 'Dao' has issued relevant notices to the governments of all civilizations. What you are worried about is one of the matters that are strictly prohibited."

As soon as he said this, Chang Hanshan felt much more relieved, but she was still a bit timid, "Even so, please don't casually mention to others that I'm reborn!"

Zhang Miaoran nodded seriously, her tone sincere, "I won't say anything."

Seeing her endearing appearance that made one's heart itch, Zhou Zhe felt like pinching her cheek.

Can't do that!

I can't let her think of me as a scoundrel!

He retracted his hand, which had been halfway extended, and awkwardly turned to Chang Hanshan. "So what if other people find out about my rebirth?"

"You're my apprentice, and also a good friend of Miaoran. Who would dare touch you?"

Chang Hanshan was so touched she almost cried.

She lowered her head and thought for a long time before saying, "It's true that I'm a reborn person, but the will of the great universe twisted my memories, and I can't remember many things clearly!"

"Only when I see a certain person or a specific scene can I recall some things!"

Mr. Zhou gave her a look of disdain. "This is the first time I've heard someone describe their poor memory in such a refined and elegant way."

"No... No, it's not! Do you think I'm the protagonist of a rebirth anime, remembering every single detail?"

The Muggle best friend switched to her defense mode. "I'm not some bragging machine!"

"Besides, can you remember what you ate for lunch on a specific day ten years ago?"

Zhou Zhe's eyes showed contempt. "On that noon, 3650 days ago, the neighbor aunt gave me a steamed bun for lunch, and then I drank about 550 milliliters of clean water from the tap in South Mountain Park."

"Before class in the afternoon, I snatched six packs of spicy strips, half a box of McDonald's Chicken McNuggets, a Big Mac, and a chicken burrito from some brats."

[Self-Configuration]—Ever heard of "Riding a horse to view monuments" or "Photo memory"?

A reborn person...

This means Chang Hanshan is one of the "Variables" mentioned by the "Dao."

A look of excitement appeared on Zhang Miaoran's fair and tender little face. "Shanshan! Ten years later, Ah Zhe and I... Cough! Never mind that! Since you've been reborn, you must know the locations of many heavenly treasures, cultivation techniques, and fortuitous encounters, right?"

"I have to see the heavenly treasure first before I can remember how to obtain it..."

"Like when I saw Dugu Xiu, I immediately remembered he's a proud and decent guy, and good friends with Jinuo, sharing life and death. When I saw the gladiator preview, I remembered the weakness of my first opponent was chili."

"=-= Alright! Let's change the subject..."

Zhou Zhe listened from the side, not interrupting.

He wasn't interested in Chang Hanshan's "future memories."

On one hand, Chang Hanshan, the shame of reborn people, had intermittent and unreliable future memories.

On the other hand, the "Dao" could arbitrarily stretch and compress the timeline, and the future could change at any moment.

Zhou Zhe squinted at Chang Hanshan.

So...

What was the point of this guy coming back reborn?

From her appearance, she didn't seem to have any enemies or unfinished business from her past life.

Zhou Zhe thought for a moment, then suddenly clapped his hands and took a small tin box from the bookshelf.

"This is..."

Zhang Miaoran rubbed her eyes and quickly recognized what the small tin box was for.

Inside it was the extraordinary potion—[Gift of Bian Que]!

"The Supernatural Affairs Department has recently made new research findings regarding the [Gift of Bian Que]."

Zhou Zhe handed the small tin box to Zhang Miaoran, his voice gentle. "Besides its healing function, taking it when you're not injured can permanently enhance your physique and blood essence. Although the effect is weak, it's better than nothing."

"Go back and drink it."

"No, I can't accept this! Ah Zhe, you need this more than I do!"

"It's already ineffective for me."

"Really?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you?"

The mysterious notebook's judgment had been flawless so far.

"Your Highness Zhe's doting on his wife is so heartwarming!"

The "light bulb's" comment successfully ruined the ambiguous atmosphere.

Zhang Miaoran, with a blush on her small face, accepted the [Gift of Bian Que].

Zhou Zhe glared unhappily at Chang Hanshan. "Did you come back reborn just to chase stars?"

"If you don't mind me saying, you're embarrassing the reborn!"

Chang Hanshan retorted defensively, "How could there be such a dim-witted reborn person!"

"I came back to ten years ago just to eat the dog food of Your Highness Zhe and my Ranan!"

Zhou Zhe: "..."

So, was there a difference?

More than ten days later.

Soundproof room.

Zhou Zhe suddenly opened his eyes, a brilliant smile on his face. "My first self-created extraordinary secret manual... is complete!"
