Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 290 - 289 Waking from a Dream
Zhou Bai had just decided he would never play games again when suddenly, more than ten beauties rushed towards him, displaying all sorts of slender and plump figures, almost encompassing more than ten types of top beauties, which left Zhou Bai stunned for a moment.
"Master Zhou, Mr. Zhou worries that you cannot take care of yourself, so he sent us to take care of you."
"My dad sent you to take care of me?" Zhou Bai asked curiously, "How will you take care of me?"
"We can help you with all your daily needs. As for any other requirements, you can ask us, and we will make sure to meet them."
Zhou Bai: "Oh?"
Christina patted Zhou Bai’s body and said, "Son, listen to Mom’s advice, women are not reliable. Later, Mom will get you a cat, which is much more dependable than a woman. You can play games and stroke a cat on your lap, can women do that?"
Reminded by Christina, Zhou Bai suddenly snapped out of his desires and remembered his 12-hour disaster.
Looking at the beauties in front of him, he yelled, "Scram! All of you, scram! Don’t think you can tempt me!"
After driving away the beauties, Zhou Bai sat down. He felt his mind was clearer than ever before and frowned tightly, "This must be some kind of illusion or dream, no, it’s very likely my dream. Otherwise, it can’t restore so many scenes from the modern society."
"But how do I get out?"
Just then, Zhou Gates Yunteng arrived in Zhou Bai’s room, "Son, why did you send away all the maids I had brought for you? Are you not satisfied? Should I bring female celebrities or internet celebrities instead?"
While saying this, he pulled out his phone and showed a bunch of photos of beautiful women, "You can have whichever you want!"
Zhou Bai was slightly stunned, feeling a bit dizzy in his mind, and then heard Christina say, "Son, cats are better than women!"
Zhou Bai shook his head as if he wanted to shake the desires out of his brain, "No, I don’t want anything."
"What about you, Tina?" Zhou Gates Yunteng continued, "Diamonds, gemstones, jade, gold..."
Seeing Christina’s widened eyes, Zhou Bai grabbed her neck, "Don’t you dare want anything! There’s obviously something wrong with this place, it’s trying to tempt us with all sorts of things. Once you want something, you get addicted. I’m telling you, you’re not allowed to want anything."

"I want!" Christina stretched out a paw, aiming for the gemstones.
But Zhou Bai pressed her head down, "No, you don’t want it."
Zhou Gates Yunteng: "Son, should I buy you a supercar?"
Christina swept Zhou Bai’s cheek with her tail, "What supercar! Just get him a four-wheel drive."
Then followed a series of games, beauties, wealth, and even power appearances, all firmly rejected by the utterly lucid Zhou Bai.
...
Before the luminous screen in the water basin, those who were initially disdainful of Zhou Bai were instantly shocked.
"I’ve never seen someone reject so many temptations in the beautiful dreams of the Twisting Mist before," said the tall girl. "Who would have thought that such a person of high moral integrity could exist in this world?"
A short-statured young man added, "A cultivation prodigy, he must be a natural-born cultivation prodigy! He is definitely capable of mastering the Primordial Daozi 03 and pacifying the twisted phenomena here."
Dr. Zhuang, looking at Zhou Bai on the screen, who was unmoved by any desires, also showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. "He might actually be able to do it."
About 30 minutes after Zhou Bai had resisted sinking into any desires, he felt a wave of dizziness. Suddenly, his vision brightened, and he found himself back in the original location, surrounded by thick fog.
Moreover, it was pitch dark around him, clearly indicating that it was deep into the night.
He quickly activated his Primordial Spirit power and scanned the surroundings, only to see Lv Chongyang, Kuang Tu, Yan Hui, Shang Beibei, and others lying on the ground in disarray, occasionally displaying expressions of joy and excitement on their faces.
Zhou Bai’s heart tightened. "It seems there’s something wrong with this fog, similar to that time in the hospital’s twisted area, where seeing a face would drag you into the toilet that followed people’s shoes. This time, it must be a fog that sends people into dreams."
Last time when Zhou Bai explored the hospital, he had encountered the twist mentioned by Dr. Zhuang. Due to the Primordial Daozi causing a void leak, there was a certain degree of overlay between the void and the Material World, ultimately creating a twisted area where various twisted phenomena were born. Only by understanding the rules there and following them could one survive.
Christina thought to herself, "Ah, being Zhou Bai’s mother must be great."
Zhou Bai swept his Primordial Spirit power over everyone and pulled them up one by one. "I’ll try pulling them out of the fog, maybe they can escape from the dream."
So Zhou Bai dragged everyone forward using his Primordial Spirit power. After covering a distance of two to three hundred meters, the fog gradually dissipated and eventually vanished completely.
What appeared before Zhou Bai was a pitch-black village, shrouded under the faint starlight, with no signs of firelight or activity.
Zhou Bai thought to himself, "Is this the village that Yan Hui and the others encountered?"
Zhou Bai waited on the side, continuously using his Primordial Spirit power to scan the condition of the people around him, ensuring their physical states were fine before he slightly relaxed.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Lv Chongyang and the others gradually woke up, shared some brief exchanges, and realized that they had each entered different dreams.
Lv Chongyang said, "This fog drags people into dreams, and once inside, it uses various desires to tempt us and tries to make us indulge in the dreams. Probably only by completely rejecting these desires can one escape."
Kuang Tu looked at Zhou Bai in surprise. "Zhou Bai, did you pull us out of the fog? Did you come out of the dream yourself?"
Zhou Bai waved his hand. "Eh... it’s just some trivial matters."
Shang Beibei looked at the young man before her, a hint of reevaluating him evident in her eyes. "The temptations in that kind of dream are hard to imagine. What kind of person could fully resist those temptations? Is this Zhou Bai different from the rumors?"
Yan Hui looked towards the village not far away and frowned. "When we came here last time, this village didn’t have such a creepy feeling."
Shang Beibei manipulated the roulette wheel, watching as it floated in front of her, continuously spinning and changing, its pointer moving from one increasingly large number to the next, making her large fox ears twitch continuously.
While watching, she said, "When you came last time, there was no mist. What do we do now? The pollution level in that village is even higher than here, probably with even more twisted phenomena."
Yan Hui uttered an incantation, directing the Gold Guards to walk towards the village. "Let’s have my Gold Guards scout the way first."
