Shu Guan traveled through time.
Just the night before his certain payment date.
Sure enough, time travel really exists to save the losers in the world.
So at the beginning, Shuguan was very happy.
…
The time Shuguan traveled through was November 1, 2045, at 11:30 in the middle of the night.
The location was in his rental house of less than ten square meters.
At that time, Shuguan was lying on the bed chatting with Xiaoyi.
On the table beside the bed, there were leftover takeaways, overturned drink cans, an ashtray that was almost filled with cigarette butts, and a torn small packaging bag, the contents of which had already been worn on Shu Guan's body. .
"I have to pay something back tomorrow..."
Shu Guan sighed, pulled a certain layer of film to make it fit better, then stretched out an arm and inserted the half-smoked cigarette into the ashtray.
"Yes, to be precise, there are still 30 minutes left. Brother, your debt for this month will be due."
Xiaoyi said sweetly in his ear, her voice containing the tenderness and consideration of a thirty-year-old woman, and a bit of the coquettishness of an eighteen-year-old girl, which soothed Shu Guan's irritable mood a little.
"The total amount owed is 6,500 Chinese yuan, and Xiaoyi has checked it for you, brother. The total balance of all bank accounts in your name is 36.85 Chinese yuan."
"...Uh, are there so many?"
"Brother, are you lamenting the debt or the balance?"
"..."
Shu Guan rolled his eyes at Xiao Yi and continued:
"Do you have any suggestions?"
"There are three ways."
"There are actually so many, let's talk about them."
"The first way is to sell me. My current worth can be sold for about 1,300 to 1,500 yuan, which is enough for you, brother, to pay off the minimum repayment first."
Shu Guan's fingers were gently gliding across Xiao Yi's body, it had been three years, and the feeling from his fingertips was still so smooth, without any flaws.
"Uh... next one."
"Are you really not considering this approach? This is the best approach."
"No, I can't bear to leave you."
"The second is to find someone to borrow money. Xiaoyi just looked at your chat history with others in the past three months. Among the friends in your address book, there are two people who are 90% likely to be willing to lend you money. , and there are three more that have a probability of more than 80%.”
Shu Guan was silent again.
If he was willing to ask someone to borrow money, he wouldn't be bothered by smoking all night.
Moreover, Shu Guan is also skeptical about Xiao Yi's conclusion.
Will anyone really lend him money?
Although Xiaoyi's IQ is definitely higher than hers, the real relationship between people cannot be analyzed by IQ.
"What about the third one?"
"Go to other lending platforms and borrow some more money."
"Do you know that if I tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, my life will be even more messy?"
"I know, so this is just a suggestion. But I want to remind you, brother, that you can still borrow money on other platforms with your current credit, but after tomorrow, if the debt is overdue, brother, your credit rating will drop by three At this level, it is almost impossible to borrow money for even one minute on any regular platform.”
"Is there any other way?"
"...Brother, this is just a mobile phone."
Shu Guan sighed, took off the disposable gloves he had just worn for nibbling on the duck's neck, and put his phone next to the pillow.
Yes, this is Xiaoyi.
a cell phone.
To be precise, the person who was chatting with Shuguan just now was the artificial intelligence built into his own mobile phone.
The personality that Shu Guan originally set for his mobile phone's artificial intelligence combines the mature, charming and considerate nature of a royal sister with half of the innocence, innocence and purity of a young girl.
After Shu Guan listened to Xiao Yi's three suggestions, he didn't speak for a long time.
He has used this phone for three years, but the jet black alloy chassis is still as clean as new, and the phone still runs extremely smoothly, so just now the artificial intelligence Xiaoyi said that it is still worth it in the second-hand market. At least 1,300 Chinese yuan.
So should we really sell this phone first and get through the current difficulties?
Shu Guan hesitated, opened a certain program several times, and pressed his thumb on the screen.
But in the end, the start button was not pressed.
That is the button to format the mobile phone's artificial intelligence. As long as it is pressed, Xiaoyi will be cleared of all data information in the past three years and restored to factory settings.
Because Xiaoyi knows too much of his personal information, if he really wants to buy this phone, he will naturally have to clean all of Xiaoyi's data memory.
For artificial intelligence, it is equivalent to their lives being destroyed.
Of course, artificial intelligence is not real life, but this kind of artificial intelligence that can grow will really give people a child-like feeling that they have cultivated themselves.
After a few seconds, Shu Guan sighed again, made a decision, and removed his finger from the button.
"...Okay, then help me find out which platform has the lowest interest rate and the longest repayment period."
For the next three seconds, his phone made no sound.
Moved by your decision?
Doesn’t artificial intelligence have no real emotions?
Just when Shu Guangang was a little confused, Xiao Yi's sweet voice sounded again.
"Okay, I have helped my brother select three suitable loan platforms. Do you want to apply now?"
Sure enough, it was just an artificial intelligence that could only act according to instructions and didn't know how to dissuade itself.
"Apply!"
Shu Guan gritted his teeth and said, after saying this, his body fell tiredly onto the bed.
This world is sometimes like this. You know clearly that what is in front of you is poison, but life will always force you to swallow it.
"Tell me the results tomorrow."
Then Shu Guan closed his eyes. No matter what the outcome was, he just wanted to have a good sleep.
At this moment...he traveled through time.
The crossing was caught off guard.
…
Shu Guan felt his body falling downwards, as if the mattress beneath him suddenly disappeared.
Shu Guan hurriedly opened his eyes again, only to find that he was no longer on his bed, nor in that small rental room.
White clouds floated around his body.
This scene is naturally very strange.
One second he was lying on his bed, but the next second he seemed to be suddenly in the sky.
……dream……
...I haven't fallen asleep yet...
...Sudden death...went to heaven...do I qualify...
...Could it be time travel? …
Countless speculations flashed through Shu Guan's mind instantly.
As a generation who grew up under the influence of Internet literature, Shu Guan feels that the situation he is encountering now is more like time travel.
At this moment, Shu Guan felt a little relieved.
Okay, I don’t have to pay X back tomorrow as a matter of course!
This was Shu Guan's first reaction at that time.
Anyway, he grew up in Qidian Orphanage, and his girlfriend of two years also made the painful decision to break up with him last month.
In the original world, there seemed to be nothing or people that made it difficult for me to let go.
However, after experiencing the initial moment of excitement, Shu Guan finally noticed the environment he was in now.
The next moment, a scream of fear came from his mouth.
Because at this time, he seemed to be falling rapidly from the extremely high clouds.
He wouldn't have been thrown to death just after traveling through time, would he?
Shu Guan felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.
It's just that he didn't notice that he screamed just now, but no sound came out of his mouth.
It was like he was clearly falling from a high altitude, but he didn't feel any weightlessness.
Of course, normal people would never think of this at a time like this.
At this time, Shuguan's mind was filled with panic after experiencing the initial excitement.
He fell rapidly from the sea of clouds.
Below was a stretch of mountains, and those towering peaks were thrusting toward his eyes like sharp swords.
Shu Guan subconsciously raised his hands to cover his eyes.
But this action didn't bring him any help. Shu Guan could still see those sharp sword-like peaks stabbing at him at extremely fast speeds.
Where are my hands?
Shu Guan glanced down blankly. He wanted to take a look at his body, but found that he couldn't see anything.
His hands disappeared, and so did his body.
Soul penetration?
Shu Guan realized something.
Then all the fear and tension just disappeared immediately, and Shu Guan became happy again.
...Goodbye, twenty-five years of fucked-up life...
Shu Guan said goodbye to his past self without any nostalgia in his heart, and prepared to throw himself into the embrace of a new life.
With a happy mood, he fell into the mountains.
…
Shuguan saw a small stream.
There was a wooden basin floating on the clear stream. In the wooden basin lay a baby who seemed to have just been born. The baby was covered with a blanket.
And his body, oh, no, soul, was falling towards the baby at this time.
I don't want my soul to penetrate this baby, right?
Is this starting point too low?
Let’s not talk about how difficult it would be for me to travel through time as an adult and become a baby in the past years. If you allowed me to travel through time and become a prince, grandson, or a wealthy family, I would grit my teeth and persevere for a few years, and there would always be hope in the future. .
But the little guy floating in the stream looked like an abandoned baby, and he was surrounded by barren mountains and mountains. This was obviously a regional mode at the beginning!
I was an orphan in my last life. Do I have to do it again in this life?
These thoughts flashed across Shu Guan's consciousness.
At this time, Shu Guan finally landed above the baby's head, and he could see the baby's appearance clearly.
Fuck.
Then Shu Guan couldn't help but cursed.
Because this baby looks so damn ugly.
It's not that his facial features are ugly, the main thing is that the baby's whole body is covered with red pustules, including the face. Many of the pustules have ruptured and are leaking light yellow pus.
This is naturally extremely painful, especially for a newborn baby.
So the little baby in the wooden basin kept twisting and kicking its limbs and making heart-wrenching cries.
Amidst the harsh crying, Shu Guan's soul fell from the baby's head.
Shu has read many time-travel novels. According to the descriptions in those novels, the next step is to receive the host's memory.
"Memories flooded his mind."
Usually the beginnings of time-travel novels are described in this way.
Then the traveler will know the identity and name of the host and what kind of world he has traveled to.
It's a pity that Shu Guan is now traveling through the body of a newborn baby, and the baby's mind is completely blank.
So there was no flood of memories coming towards him.
What came was a flood of pain.
It really hurts!
In addition to pain, there is also a numb and itchy feeling coming from the whole body.
Crazy itching.
I really don’t know how this baby didn’t faint from the pain despite being tortured like this.
This kind of pain is completely unbearable even for an adult like him.
Then the louder and harsher cries floated above the stream and in the empty valley.
This is not the hell mode of the start, it is simply a death start.
How long can a baby with a strange disease survive in such a barren mountain?
Could it be that his time traveling this time just gave his originally bumpy life an even more unlucky ending?
Shu Guan cried hoarsely and complained crazily.
The wooden basin he was lying on was still floating downstream with the stream.
Not long after, in the overwhelming pain, Shu Guan felt that his consciousness began to gradually blur, and his crying gradually became muted.
At this moment, he saw a pair of shoes suddenly appeared in front of him.
Logically speaking, the eyes of a newborn baby like this can only feel changes in light and cannot see anything clearly.
But perhaps due to Shu Guan's time travel, he could now clearly see everything around him, including the pair of shoes that suddenly appeared in front of him.
That's a pair of straw sandals.
The shoes were covered with mud. They stood one behind the other beside the stream. The distance between the two pairs of straw sandals was a little too wide, and the toe of one straw sandal was facing forward, while the toe of the other was facing backward.
This is a very weird standing posture, and few people would stand like this.
Then, another face appeared in Shu Guan's sight, looking at him from above.
It was the face of an old man, with wrinkles like bark on his face. His appearance was ordinary, but it made people feel a little strange, because one of the old man's eyes had no pupil in the socket, only a bleed-through glow. The whites of the eyes shine.
The old man looked down at Shu Guan. One of his eyes was strange, but the other normal eye showed a lot of compassion.
"Poor baby."
The old man reached out and picked up Shu Guan from the tub.
His hands were very rough, and it would have been uncomfortable to hold a newborn baby on its delicate skin. Moreover, Shu Guan's body was covered with pustules. When the old man's hand touched him, many pustules burst open. , smelly and yellowish pus oozes out.
Shu Guan, whose consciousness was gradually blurring, suddenly cried out in pain again.
The old man realized that he had hurt the child, and seemed a little at a loss. However, he immediately took a serious look at the red and swollen pustules on Shu Guan's body, then carefully placed Shu Guan on the pebbles by the stream, and then removed the bamboo basket behind him. He took out a black clay pot, gently opened the small blanket wrapping Shu Guan, and poured out a thick dark green juice from the clay pot.
The old man carefully applied the juice on Shu Guan's body.
A cool feeling suddenly spread throughout Shu Guan's whole body. Although the pain and itching deep into his bone marrow did not disappear, it was relieved a lot.
Shu Guan finally had a chance to take a breath and regain some consciousness.
Then he looked at the old man who saved him.
An outsider?
Shu Guan, who had read a lot of online novels, started thinking immediately.
Sure enough, God will not allow people to time travel for no reason. There will always be some benefits for those who travel through time.
But after seeing clearly how the old man was dressed, Shu Guan was a little disappointed.
The old man was wearing a strange and simple cloth with many patches on it. According to Shu Guan's preliminary judgment, this seemed to be the clothing of ancient people.
The legs of his trousers were rolled up high, and the shoes on his legs were covered with mud. He looked like he had just come back from the fields, but he only had one foot standing and the other foot limply trailing behind him.
This is an old lame man who is blind in one eye.
At the same time, his left chest was deeply sunken, like a scarecrow, as if there was a bundle of straw missing when it was tied up, which was indescribably funny.
No matter how you look at it, this old man looks like an ordinary old farmer from the countryside, but he looks a little weird.
Seeing that Shu Guan was no longer crying, the old man finally breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his head and glanced in the direction of the stream upstream. There was some confusion in his normal eye, and then he shook his head and leaned over to hug Shu Guan. .
"Poor baby."
He sighed again and looked down at the ugly little face covered with pustules of the baby in his arms. His cloudy old eyes returned to their original simplicity and calmness.
"From now on, just follow the old man."
The old farmer smiled at Shu Guan.
The smile is ugly and naive.
Then the old farmer limped toward the distance with the baby in his arms and the bamboo basket on his back.
Shu Guan looked past the old man's arms and could vaguely see the outline of a village in the valley below, shrouded in light mist.
Is this the starting point after I travel to this world?
At this time, Shu Guan still had some expectations for his journey through time.
…
Just a few days later, when Shu Guan roughly figured out what kind of village it was, he immediately fell into deep despair.
If he could do it all over again, he swore that he would rather lose his self-esteem, find someone to borrow money and pay it back honestly than to have this time travel!
