Inside cabin 2035.
The bed was covered with military-grade eavesdropping devices. Su Sui took off her sneakers, sat cross-legged on the bed, and put on the eavesdropping earpieces.
Last night in Jiangcheng, she secretly sneaked into Jiang Sui's house and planted miniature listening devices in everyone's hair.
" Yin Long's seasickness crisis is successfully resolved. Let me hear what Sister Liuli others are talking about, and whether they've encountered any difficulties."
Su Sui switched her monitoring target from Yin Long to Liuli. Four familiar voices came through, and from the clinking of bowls and chopsticks, she could tell that Liuli, Jiang Sui, Zhou Keyu, and Huyan Ya were having a meal at the buffet.
[ Liuli ] (curious): Suisui, since your family's financial situation is not good, why hold the 10th anniversary offline gathering of Imperial Crown 'Imperial Crown Island? The round-trip airfare and boat tickets alone must cost hundreds of thousands.
[ Jiang Sui ] (eating and drinking): Sister Liuli, it's all thanks to Zhou Keyu, who got Coca-Cola. He drank Coca-Cola and won the grand prize of a 7-day trip to Imperial Crown Island during the National Day holiday by winning the bottle cap.
[ Zhou Keyu ] (smugly): At first I thought it was a scam, until I went to the designated store to redeem the prize on a whim, and I actually got a tour ticket to Imperial Crown Island.
So we decided to just book the offline gathering of Imperial Crown's Imperial Crown Island.
Ah, I, Zhou Keyu, am indeed the chosen one.
"You're a chosen scumbag! My Su Hang is the real one."
Su Sui, who was listening in, snorted twice. Zhou Keyu's so-called lucky win of the Imperial Crown Island tour tickets was nothing more than a carefully orchestrated scheme by her.
In 2035, Liuli had specifically instructed her that the 10th anniversary offline gathering of the Imperial Crown Team in 2025 must be held on Imperial Crown Island.
"But I really didn't expect that Sister Liuli her Yugong Shrine being incredibly wealthy wasn't an exaggeration, but truly was."
Su Sui shuddered as she recalled the underground scene at Yugong Shrine.
In 2035, Liuli gave her a key, telling her that if her consciousness successfully returned to the past but she didn't have enough funds to carry out her mission, she could go to the underground vault of Yugong Shrine in Kyoto Japan.
Moving gold bricks!
"A full nine hundred tons of gold bars, which, based on the 2025 gold price, is worth over eight hundred billion RMB. If time weren't so tight, I would have emptied the vaults!"
Su Sui felt a little regretful.
With limited time and numerous tasks, she only brought out 3,000 kilograms of gold bricks, which she then traded on the dark web for 200 million US dollars, equivalent to 1.4 billion RMB. She used these funds to purchase equipment and cover the costs of various tasks.
The seven-day tour ticket to Imperial Crown Island that Zhou Keyu mentioned was purchased by her on the dark web for 10 million RMB.
[ Jiang Sui ] (pats her belly): I'm full. If I could eat abalone and lobster every day in the future, I would be willing to have longer legs and bigger breasts.
"Your breasts can't get bigger, Jiang Sui. You were born a B-cup."
Su Sui, who was eavesdropping, couldn't help but chuckle, "The future Sister Liuli spoils you rotten. Whatever you want to eat, let alone abalone and lobster, even Arctic whale, Sister Liuli will send a whaling ship to catch it for you."
"Tired of your luxurious lifestyle, you decided to [abandon the valley and join the army]. After rigorous selection, you entered the Huaxia Ministry of State Security, becoming an agent codenamed [ Tai Sui ], and carried out numerous top-secret missions."
"However, I broke my leg once during a top-secret mission."
"Fortunately, Sister Liuli used her connections to invite a Nobel Prize laureate in medicine to use the world's most advanced medical technology to reconnect your broken leg and make it 10 centimeters longer, thus fulfilling your dream of having longer legs."
[ Huyan Ya ] (with anticipation): What will I be like in the future?
"You? A housewife, huh?"
A tender glint flashed in Su Sui's eyes as she listened in. "Years later, you'll marry the person you love overseas, become a stay-at-home wife, and every night you'll weave a peace knot, Qiancheng praying that your loved one will return safely from his mission."
Your biggest regret is not having children for the one you love.
"But your partner doesn't care about that at all. As long as you're safe and sound, she'll be content."
[ Zhou Keyu ] (proudly): I will definitely become the most popular movie actor in the world in the future.
"You're famous, my foot!"
Su Sui, who was eavesdropping, was speechless, her eyes filled with undisguised disgust and revulsion. "The future Sister Liuli, out of consideration for you being Jiang Sui's brother, used her connections to get you a movie role in Hollywood."
"What about Spider-Man, Batman, and the Avengers... at the very least, you'd be an important supporting actor with lines and a small storyline. We gave you such great resources, and what's the result? You're still lukewarm at best."
"You, Zhou Keyu, are truly trash. By 2035, you've acted in dozens of films, and you're still just a third-rate actor."
[ Jiang Sui ] (curious): Sister Liuli, what do you think you'll do in the future?
[ Liuli ] (Silence): I don't know, maybe... I'll keep searching for my senior.
"Yes, Sister Liuli, your future self never gave up searching for my Su Hang," Su Sui, who was listening, said with a slight somber tone. "After this seven-day gathering on Imperial Crown Island, you will suddenly decide to devote yourself to physics, research time machines, travel back in time, and find my Su Hang."
"If there hadn't been a terrorist attack on the research institute, Sister Liuli in 2035 should have already traveled back to 2015, 20 years ago, aboard the time machine, the Imperial Crown."
Su Sui's eyes flashed with regret.
In 2035, Liuli developed the world's first time machine—the fully-equipped Imperial Crown.
Unlike the abridged version of the stream-of-consciousness time machine, the fully-fledged Imperial Crown can send a living human being, [consciousness + body], back 20 years.
It truly allows people to travel back to the past!
However, just as Liuli was aboard the fully-equipped Imperial Crown, carrying out a time experiment to return to 2015, 20 years earlier, the research institute was attacked by a large number of terrorists, energy resources were compromised, and the time experiment was forced to stop.
The fully-equipped Imperial Crown was then subjected to a fierce attack by terrorists. Liuli was also shot and injured, and the research data on the time machine at the research institute was looted by the terrorists.
Fortunately, Liuli had a backup plan. The research data stored in the research institute only included data on consciousness transmigration, while the data on physical transmigration was stored separately in another location.
Ugh--
A deep, resonant ship's whistle sounded.
An announcement came over the loudspeaker.
"Dear passengers, the ship is currently docked at the port of Imperial Crown Island. Please do not linger on the deck or move around unnecessarily. We will inform you to disembark in an orderly manner once the gangway is in place."
"We've arrived at Imperial Crown Island."
Su Sui took off her monitoring headphones, got out of bed, and drew back the curtains. A small island with white sand and lush greenery came into view, and the landmark building was a church-style hospital building.
"After the rest period, once we land on the island, we must be on high alert and stay by Sister Liuli's side at all times. That guy codenamed Nurarihyon wants to assassinate Sister Liuli; we absolutely cannot let him succeed!"
