July 18, 2025.

Shanghai City, in a private port.

Lu Yuan browsed the news on his mobile phone with a dull expression.

"about there."

Lu Yuan turned off his cell phone, took out his telescope and looked ahead.

At this moment, on the sea level in the distance, a ferry was slowly appearing, carrying only one container. If you look closely, you can see that the container is covered with seals, and it seems to contain something extremely valuable.

Half an hour later, the ferry sailed in and anchored firmly in the port.

Soon dozens of people wearing black clothes and sunglasses walked out.

The leader was a tall, bald man with thick muscles. He had a black thousand-legged centipede tattooed on his neck, extending all the way to his face. There was coldness in his eyes. Standing there gave people a strong sense of oppression. .

The bald man walked closer, took off his sunglasses and said, "Mr. Lu, this trip almost cost several of my brothers money. When do you think the balance will be paid?"

"About half an hour at most."

Lu Yuan smiled with a calm expression and continued: "The reputation of the Centipede Organization is internationally renowned. Who dares to default on its debt?"

The bald man looked at the young man in front of him who was obviously only in his early twenties but was extremely calm, and nodded: "I feel relieved after Mr. Lu said this. In this case, Mr. Lu will come with me on board the ship to inspect the goods first. If there’s no problem, we’ll unload the ship.”

"good."

Lu Yuan nodded.

Immediately, the two got on the ship, the seal of the container was torn open, and with a sound of metal friction, the door opened.

Among them was an uprooted ancient tree, at least over ten meters in length.

The rhizomes, branches and buds, as well as the green leaves, seemed to have been dug out not long ago.

But at this moment, he was lying quietly in the container.

Seeing this, the bald man sighed: "I really don't know what you rich people are thinking. You spend so much money just for a broken tree."

Hearing this, Lu Yuan shook his head slightly: "This is not an ordinary tree, it is the ancient Bodhi tree where Buddha Sakyamuni attained enlightenment."

That's right.

He hired people to do the theft of the ancient Bodhi tree, a national treasure of Tianzhu!

The bald man next to Lu Yuan is the leader of one of the top three thieves in the world, known as the Thousand-legged Centipede. It is said that as long as you can afford the price, there is nothing you can't get.

For this trip, he spent nearly 100 million in total.

But as long as the stuff is available.

From Lu Yuan's point of view, everything was worth it.

Because he is a reborn person.

More than two months later in my memory, that is, on the night of September 1, 2025, changes will occur all over the world.

Various myths and legends will come to the earth, and monsters, spirits, etc. will emerge in endlessly.

A new era begins!

By then, the world will no longer be one where money is supreme, but one where the weak will eat the strong, and the strong will be respected.

Some people awaken, obtain the body of thunder and control thunder and lightning, some people return to their ancestral blood and have extraordinary talents, and some people soar into the sky with wings on their backs.

The ancient bodhi tree will also change at that moment and become a supreme divine object. After being sacrificed, it can directly increase the talent by hundreds of millions of times. The useless wood will directly become a genius. The benefits are unimaginable. One hundred million in front of it, even a pile of waste paper Not as good as anything!

In the last life, Lu Yuan knew it too late, so he was slow at every step.

In the end, he couldn't keep up with the pace of the new era, and was killed, staining the earth with blood.

And this life.

Lu Yuan was reborn three months before the mutation, and had another chance.

So he wants to plan the future before global changes occur!

In this life, he will be ahead of everyone!

In this life, he wants to aspire to the highest level!

"It doesn't matter what kind of tree it is, money is the most important thing."

The bald man didn't know what Lu Yuan was thinking, so he gave it up and said, "Since Mr. Lu has confirmed that it is correct, can we unload the goods now?"

"Can."

Of course Lu Yuan would not explain, so he smiled and walked off the ferry.

Soon, the container containing the ancient bodhi tree was unloaded and loaded on a truck.

He had prepared the truck a long time ago. Without a driver, he would drive it himself. In order to prevent accidents and being discovered, Lu Yuan made a lot of preparations in the early stage. For example, this port was bought not long ago, and all the cameras It has also been dismantled long ago.

You must know that this thing is different from others. It is a national treasure of Tianzhu and carries various myths and legends.

Even with Lu Yuan's current wealth, it would be a big problem if he was discovered.

As for Baldhead and others.

What they were doing was illegal, so naturally it was impossible to tell anyone.

"The balance was lost."

At this time, the bald man next to him looked at the balance displayed on his mobile phone and suddenly smiled: "It's really a pleasure to work with Mr. Lu. If there is another chance, I'll say hello at any time."

Although the ancient Bodhi tree is a national treasure, Tianzhu officials have not arranged any security measures.

After all, who would have thought that someone would dream of a tree?

So for the Centipede Organization.

Although this business seems a bit strange, it is easy and profitable.

He hoped that Lu Yuan would come again. As for the previous statement that he almost lost a few brothers, it was just a joke.

"Sure."

Lu Yuan smiled, shook hands with the other party, and then climbed onto the truck and drove out of the port.

The bald man and a group of members of the Centipede Organization did not stay and left soon.

Late at night.

In the north of Shanghai, there is a huge forest with few people.

However, in the central area, there is a three-story villa. The villa is brightly lit and luxuriously decorated. Outside is a tall and thick wall that is dozens of meters long. The whole villa is surrounded by it. The light can't penetrate at all, which looks very mysterious.

At this moment, Lu Yuan, who has been busy all day, dragged his tired body back to the lobby on the first floor.

After pouring a glass of red wine, he cast his eyes on the yard outside.

There, the ancient Bodhi tree brought back from the port had been planted, and a lot of water was poured to keep the soil moist.

In fact, Lu Yuan knew that this tree could live for thousands of years, and there would be no problem even if this was not done.

However, he was cautious.

He didn't want any problems.

Ding-ling-ling.

At this time, Lu Yuan's cell phone rang suddenly, and he picked it up and saw that it was a foreign number.
