Zhang Chuang came to ask, "Can I stop traveling through time?" But the question and answer just now made him understand that he was not even a soldier, but just a "hook rope", he made him understand the answer to this question.

A pirate captain may listen to a pirate's opinion, but you make him care about the idea of ​​a hook? What about you?

"In other words... it is impossible to get out of it?" He was a little confused. He had always longed to learn the truth before, but after learning this truth, he felt that it seemed no difference whether he knew or not.

"Haha, get out of here? I want to do it too. And I want to do it very much!" Wu Lan laughed. "It's like being hit by a car on the road and becoming disabled. Do you think those disabled people want to be physically disabled? They don't want to be a healthy person? All you can do is to adapt hard, not want to change."

"But...what if I don't want to be a hook?"

This question made Wu Lan stunned and then laughed again.

"Then you can die." After saying that, he picked up the cup and drank the last sip of cold tea.

After learning this kind of news, I could still sit here calmly... As expected, I was scared and became accustomed to it. Zhang Cheng thought to himself with some self-deprecating thoughts.

He had figured it out that although the other party said "three free questions", it was obvious that this was not a strict agreement. Because Zhang Cheng actually raised more than one question in the process just now, and the other party also gave an explanation. This is an obvious kindness. The reason why the "three" conditions are not so much to restrict Zhang Cheng, but to protect himself. It is the kind of caution that wants to help strangers but is worried about the other party's character and is afraid of being entangled.

In other words, as long as the bottom line is controlled, the other party is actually willing to help him, or at least be willing to share information.

"I want to know where I was cheated." Zhang Cheng asked the last question after careful consideration.

"Well, that guy nemesis has done this kind of thing several times." Wu Lan said. "I specially deceived newcomers who don't know anything, but I have succeeded repeatedly."

"You mean, he deliberately lied to me to come here?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"Yes."

"He lied to me...just to waste my time?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"If that's the case, it's not a cheat or a prank. I can only say that he is a person with a bad personality. Although it's a bit hateful, it's not harmful." Wu Lan replied.

"But..." Zhang Cheng thought about it, but he couldn't understand what he had been cheated of.

"He lied to you to leave the house."

But there is nothing valuable at home. By the way, since everyone uses mobile payment, the thieves have disappeared. Zhang Cheng doesn’t think there is anything at home that is easy to steal? Clothes and pants are jokes... OK, Zhang Cheng admits that there is actually something that he can steal at home, which is a desktop computer. But holding that kind of thing is too conspicuous and will definitely be photographed by the surveillance camera.

In fact, it is hard to imagine that such a time traveler even went to someone else's house to steal a computer. This should be considered a stealing habit, right?

"However," Wu Lan continued. "This kind of person seems to have gotten a bargain on the surface, but I am more willing to believe that his life is not that easy. At least he has no future. Well, Zhang Cheng, you also understand that a person's power is limited after all. Human beings are not tigers or bears, but a person's power is very limited. Human beings are social creatures, and groups have power."

"Let me leave my home...what will I lose?"

"You should lose this." Wu Lan reached into her pocket and found a few things from it. "Have you seen the posts on the forum? Especially those transaction posts. The posts are usually three types of units, one is called Bei, which is the money in that world, and the other is this, ￥, the money in our country. There is another one, which is beads."

Yes, Zhang Cheng has also read before. Although most of the posts selling things or buying things are "price interviews", some of them also state the price in small quantities. Some of them specifically indicate that they only charge shells, rmbs, or only "beads". For example, he remembers that there is a post that says "100,000 or one beads". One hundred thousand obviously means 100,000, but he doesn't understand what a bead is. It's just that there may be another kind of credit currency among the time travelers.

"Wenzhu, some people call it the Pearl of Miracle."

"Uh..." Zhang Cheng immediately recognized the beads. That's right, when he came back from another world, he woke up and found that there were some of these beads around him for no reason. The first batch of beads... He remembered sweeping them under the bed. The second batch of beads... seemed to be picked up randomly and thrown into the cabinet or in the drawer? It seemed that there were also several beads that he had played with for a long time, but in the end he couldn't find out what was going on. He casually placed them on the computer desk.

"You mean...this thing..." Zhang Cheng immediately skipped a few thoughts in his mind.

In forum posts, 100,000 rmb is equal to one bead. This price is still the price that is actively quoted. As we all know, this kind of quotation usually means that there is a large room for bargaining.

Chen Wenwen's brother claimed to start a business but actually couldn't find a related company, but he earned enough money to buy a house in just a few years.

He was deceived out of the house for several hours... and Wu Lan told him that the other party's purpose was this kind of bead.

"Sure enough, you've seen such beads," Zhang Cheng didn't deliberately hide it, so Wu Lan easily made a judgment by observing his words and expressions. "But... you shouldn't understand what this thing is for."

"What's the use of this?" This thing seems to be made of resin? It's light and sturdy. But other than that, Zhang Cheng knew nothing.

"Tomorrow at 8 o'clock," Wu Lan said. "See you at the door of Dajin Securities Company, I can tell you how to use this thing."

"Tomorrow morning? But today..."

"Don't worry, I won't be there tonight." The other party smiled. "Only the first and second times of the newcomer, this rhythm disorder will occur, and it will remain the same. The correct time should be... about four days later. It may be one day ahead or one day later. In this regard, our Gaia is a bit casual."

"The earth is called Gaia, then... does the world consciousness in that world have a name?"

"Oh, there are some. Let me emphasize first, the name is just a name. We call the world consciousness of that world called Haotian."

Zhang Cheng suddenly remembered his previous return.

He didn't know how others returned, but every time he returned, he was because he saw some written records. After seeing these written records, he fell asleep uncontrollably and found that he had returned to the earth when he woke up.

He still remembered those two records very clearly, both about the world and about Haotian.

There should be some mystery in it.

The two of them then exchanged their mobile phone numbers and chat software IDs, which made an agreement.

Almost half an hour later, Zhang Cheng returned to his residence. This was not because he found a shortcut to go home, but because it was already late at this time, there were fewer cars on the road, and the speed was more than just a little faster.

Get off at the entrance of the community and rushed to my residence. Everything seemed to be no different from usual. Even the door was closed properly, with slippers and other things in place.

He immediately ran to the bed and looked carefully and found the pile of beads. As mentioned earlier, he swept all the beads under the bed, and treated them with the beads, including used waste tissues, broken paper pieces, messy data cables, etc. Anyway, single men, you know! Haha, all things that will not rot or smell can be used to sweep under the bed.

He opened the cabinet again and found several other small balls. These small balls are accompanied by a bunch of desiccant and mothballs here. By the way, this thing is really similar to mothballs. In the absence of light, it is really impossible to tell at a glance.

Anyway, everything looks normal.

However, Wu Lan just now said confidently that she was definitely a thief this time. The guy named "nemesis" was a habitual offender and had done this kind of thing more than once.

Zhang Cheng began to look for traces carefully.

If you want to talk about this, you will actually feel that nothing has happened if you don’t look for it, but if you deliberately search for it, you will find that the situation is not very good.

Several drawers were opened and not tightly closed. Several pieces of clothing hanging on the hanger were moved, and it seemed that they had been searched for their pockets.

There is also a computer desk where his keyboard is moved.

Ordinary people may not remember the keyboard position. But Zhang Cheng is an exception. Whether he plays games or chats, he has a particularly favorite position, which is to lean his elbows on the armrest of the chair. In order to match this position, his keyboard is placed obliquely and at a forty-degree angle to the display screen.

But now, the keyboard position can only be said to be very casual.

Someone has touched his keyboard.

In addition, the literary bead on the computer desk is gone. Yesterday, Zhang Cheng regarded time travel as a dream. So he spent a few minutes looking at this bead before going to bed. Of course, there was no result in this kind of examination, so he casually placed a literary bead on the computer desk. Now the bead has disappeared.

The final evidence comes from the door lock. After all, it is a rented house, and the owner did not attach the high-end lock to the door. Zhang Cheng found several light frictions on the lock and caused white marks, proving that someone had scratched it with some relatively hard tool.

Someone came in and opened the door with some tool. But he was obviously not the experienced habitual stealing, so he left many traces. This man opened the drawer one after another, searched the pocket of my clothes on the hanger, and finally took Wenzhu away on the computer desk. He did not find Wenzhu in the cabinet, maybe he found it, but mistakenly thought it was mothballs...

Zhang Cheng turned on the computer and started searching for the words "thief" and "thief" on the Gaia forum. He actually found more than a dozen of them. These were all cursed by some victims here in anger. Of course, no one replied to such posts, so they quickly sank.

From this point of view, the Gaia Forum is obviously just a club nature, and it cannot even be called an "organization". There are no strict regulations here, no protection is provided, and it is just a reference platform for information exchange.

In fact, this is easy to imagine. After all, the Internet has only been developing for 10 or 20 years. It is great to form a platform in such a short time, and it is impossible to form a strict organization or something.

Zhang Cheng put all the beads on his hand together, put them in a small bag, and hung them around his neck.

The news I received today completely reversed his views, making him think that he might toss and turns all night and couldn't sleep. Unfortunately, the facts proved that the blow of these news was not greater than the battle of life and death in another world. His heart was enough to bear it, so he fell asleep with a pillow on his head.

I didn't travel through time this night, or even dreamed, and I was awakened by a mobile phone call until dawn. It turned out that my colleague called me. My colleague warned that the old bastard had been scolded by the old bastard from a distance when he asked for leave yesterday, and the old bastard also clearly stated that if he didn't go today, Zhang Cheng would be "absent from work". If he reported it, the company might not be able to tolerate Zhang Cheng.

Although everyone knows that the old bastard and Zhang Cheng are not in dealing with each other, life is not easy these days. How many people can engage in careers they like? I don’t know how many people are obviously reluctant, but they have to bow to society.

However, Zhang Cheng no longer cared about this matter.

At eight o'clock in the morning, he appeared at the door of the futures company on time.

Many people know about securities companies, but poor people like Zhang Cheng have never been exposed to them. They just heard that this place is engaged in various financial trading goods. As for what financial trading goods are, he actually doesn't really understand them.

Most Chinese people actually don’t understand it very much. However, they also have a vague impression of “high risk and high return”.

Wu Lan arrived a little later than him, about two or three minutes later. Today he did not wear casual clothes, but a suit, white shirt, tie, and leather shoes. If he hadn't slight smell of disinfectant, Zhang Cheng would even doubt whether he had recognized the wrong person.

"Come with me," Wu Lan strode into the company's door.

"Who do we want to meet?"

"Meet a friend." Wu Lan smiled. "Make some money by the way."

"Make money? Wenzhu?"

"Well, selling Wenzhu is the most loss-making method." Wu Lan said. "Don't look at me like this. I know you may think that we cannon fodder like us are in danger, and no one knows when we will die. The correct attitude towards life should be to drink today and get drunk today, and tomorrow will be worried tomorrow. But in fact, it is really a loss to sell Wenzhu directly."

The two of them have already entered the company.

This is a busy hall, with all kinds of people coming in and out, bustling.

Wu Lan obviously had a clear goal. He didn't even stop in the hall and turned around and turned into an aisle.

"here it is?"

"Big Customer Area." Wu Lan said. He walked all the way, walked to the door of a room, and pushed the door open and entered.

As Zhang Cheng expected, there was a person waiting here in the room, and there was only one person.
Chapter completed!
