Chapter 1 Crossing on the Rooftop
Su Qi sat at a computer desk with a glass of water, his mouth wide open, and looked at the scene in front of him in surprise.
There are artificially erected shelves on the roof to dry clothes, and there are pipes running out of the building in the corner, which looks no different from the roofs of many ordinary residential buildings, but Su Qi's house is a bungalow, and the roof of his house is not like this at all.
Su Qi looked at the roof of the building blankly, inadvertently raised his foot, and with a "bang", something seemed to have been kicked down underneath, and when he looked down, it turned out that the trash can under the table was kicked and rolled out by him.
The sound of the trash can rolling woke him up.
Where is this? Why am I here? Am I dreaming?
Coming back from the brief astonishment, these questions came to Su Qi's mind.
"Oh, oh...... Oh......"
Su Qi put down the water glass and pinched his thigh fiercely, the pain from his thigh showed that it was not in a dream, and of course it was not ruled out that the reality of this dream was too high, which could make him feel pain.
After pinching himself, Su Qi noticed that there was a puddle of water stains on the table, looking at this puddle of water stains, he remembered that a few minutes ago, he was thirsty when he watched the film, went to pick up a glass of water, and when he was about to come back to continue watching, he accidentally spilled the water on the power strip on the table.
At that time, my left hand seemed to be quite close to the wire board......
Thinking of this, Su Qi lifted the plug-in board, and a small stream of water flowed out of it, and sure enough, it was because of the water that caused him to be electrocuted.
When lifting the plug-in board, Su Qi unexpectedly found that the line of the plug-in board was cut by something, and the incision was very flat and smooth.
Su Qi's gaze then glanced at his feet, and his face suddenly became strange, he didn't notice it, why did he even come with his own floor? And it's cut so neatly?!
He visually inspected the floor tiles, which were cut into square shapes, about two meters long on each side, into perfect squares.
"Could it be...... Did I wear it? ”
Su Qi touched his chin and muttered to himself, frowning and recalling more details, he remembered in a trance that at the moment when he was paralyzed by the electric shock, the pendant on his chest seemed to emit a touch of light.
"That's right, the pendant!"
Su Qi hurriedly took off the pendant and watched it in his hand, this pendant is a small silver metal tube, the small tube is like a flute, there are nine holes on it, neatly distributed on the tube, the tube body is engraved with various mysterious patterns, it looks very exquisite, and it is precisely because it looks good that it will be seen by Su Qi, who went to throw away the garbage, and picked it up from the trash can.
Su Qi took the small silver tube and looked at it, but he didn't see the truth, it was completely a small metal tube, and there was no miracle.
Suddenly, he had an idea, and he read tentatively in his heart: "System? ”
The silver tube is unresponsive.
"Lord God? Grandpa? Predecessor? Big guy? Brother ......"
After changing several titles in a row, the silver tube still did not respond.
"Do you have to be electrocuted to get it to start?"
Su Qi thought to himself, and then shook his head again, he didn't have a hobby of shaking, if it wasn't electrocution, wouldn't it break his innocent body in vain? He is not addicted to the internet and does not need treatment.
Hang the little silver tube back around your neck, now is not the time to study this thing, you have to see where you are wearing it? Good plan for what's next.
His current location is on the roof of a building, and he can see other buildings nearby, which city he doesn't know, but Su Qi dares to pack a ticket, this is definitely not the Rongcheng where he lives (note: if it is not Fu Zhou, don't contact it together)!
The buildings in Rongcheng will not have so many Western characters, but this also shows that at least he should still be in the human world.
Su Qi got up and looked, walked to the top of a building, just took a step forward, didn't pay attention to his feet, and accidentally stepped on a staircase, causing him to almost fall.
"Oops~ That bastard is so immoral, digging a pit on the roof of the building? I'll fuck you......"
almost fell, Su Qi's heart was on fire, and the tension and uneasiness hidden in his heart after crossing made him burst out directly.
Su Qi looked back, it was not a pit and a hill, it turned out that the soil under the floor of his house had also been cut here, more than a foot high, forming a rectangular earth platform on the roof of the building, he came down from the one-foot-high platform, he didn't notice the change in height, and naturally seemed to be stepped on in the air.
"It's thorough enough that even the mud of my house has been dug up. Cattle! ”
Su Qi walked to the top of the building, first looked down, the street was full of people, traffic, most of the pedestrians on the street were Westerners, there were a few black-haired and yellow-skinned Orientals, there were no dog-heads, cat-heads, pig-headed people, so that Su Qi felt a little at ease, and it could be seen that the shop advertising signs on the street were almost all in English, and it was difficult to see Chinese, which made Su Qi frown.
"I traveled to another country? Fortunately, it is still in the human world. ”
"It seems that the level of technology here is similar to that of my time, maybe I didn't travel at all, but was just transferred from China to a foreign city."
Thinking so, Su Qi looked up at the opposite building, where a white blonde woman was speaking in English, as if to broadcast the news, and at the bottom right of the screen was a line in English that read "25 Mar, 2010, New York."
"New York in 2010? So I didn't just cross an ocean, I went back in time? Su Qi noticed the line of English and was shocked.
At this time, a scene was broadcast on the screen, in which two white men in suits and ties shook hands amicably in a luxurious hall, with flashing lights flashing around them.
When he saw the middle-aged white man in a gray suit, Su Qi felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, as if he had seen it there.
"I don't know any white people, do I?"
"I watch a lot of Western movies, but I don't remember any of those gringo stars, but I probably know the names of the characters they played."
This strange familiarity made Su Qi stare at the middle-aged white man in a gray suit on the screen, trying to find the root of this weirdness, when he heard a "Carl Van Loon" on the screen, Su Qi felt more familiar, and reread it softly.
"Carl Van Long, the name of this white-skinned pig is really strange, it has never been ......" Su Qi shook his head and said, suddenly, his eyes widened.
"His name is Carl Van Long, and this is New York, USA! This is that movie?! ”
Su Qi finally remembered why he felt that this white man was a little familiar, because he watched a Western science fiction film some time ago, and there was a character called "Carl Van Long" in it.
However, as an orthodox Daxia countryman, watching English films with Chinese subtitles, what English can I watch if I have nothing to do? So he didn't know how "Carl Van Lond" was written in English, and he wasn't sure if he really crossed over to that movie.
Su Qi quickly recalled the plot of the movie in his mind, this film has been out for a long time, but he only watched it not long ago, and some details may not be remembered deeply, but the plot is fully understood.
The movie is called "Never-ending", and the plot of the movie boils down to a history of making a fortune from poor dicks!
When you think of the help that NZT-48 helped the male lead in the movie, if this is really the world of that movie...... Su Qi decided: he must find the protagonist and rob him of his NZT-48.
That kind of waste protagonist can make a fortune by knocking medicine, he is a research monk in the biology department, there is no reason why he can't! As for the opportunity to grab the protagonist, it is not within Su Qi's consideration, the effect of NZT-48 is too exciting.
But then Su Qi was confused again, New York is so big, how can he find the protagonist? Do you want to wait for the protagonist to succeed in knocking the drug and become a celebrity before going? What's more, whether this is the world of that movie or not, it's still two to say.
Su Qi's eyes were fixed on the screen again, and Carl Van Long was talking eloquently with the white man who had just shaken hands.
"I remember the actor making millions of dollars in a dozen days, so he was in the newspapers. Follow the news in the newspaper and maybe find the male lead. No more, isn't the actor going to Carl Van Long? The actor is not famous, and his whereabouts are not easy to grasp, is it not possible to track Carl Van Long? Such a big man is better than the nobody of the actor, right? ”
Su Qi's brows widened, and his face darkened again.
"But I don't have any money, I'm still a black household that can't be blacker anymore, and I can't be caught in the bureau by the United States tomorrow."
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps from the passage on the roof, Su Qi was startled, and hurriedly ran to the computer desk, before closing the computer, and the door on the roof was pushed open.
It was a chubby young white woman, holding a blue plastic basket in her hand, and when she saw the computer desk on the roof of the building and Su Qi, she looked at him strangely, but she didn't say anything, and went to collect the clothes that were drying on the roof by herself.
After the white woman finished collecting her clothes, when she passed by Su Qi's computer desk, she saw Su Qi's computer chair, her eyes lit up, and she greeted Su Qi with a smile: "Hello!"
Su Qi didn't know what the white woman wanted to do, and he was a little nervous, but he didn't show it, and replied, "Hello!"
The white woman asked in English, "You look so good about this chair, where did you get it?" I want to go buy one too. ”
In Daxia, although English is not compulsory, it is the second largest language in the world, second only to Chinese in terms of popularity.
Seeing that the white woman was interested in his chair, Su Qi rolled his eyes, had an idea in his heart, and said casually in a non-standard pronunciation: "Madam, I bought this massage chair in a market in the south. Lately I don't think it works very well with me......"
This made the white woman's eyes light up and she asked, "Oh, are you trying to sell it?" ”
Su Qi nodded and said, "Yes, ma'am." ”
The white woman laughed and said, "Then I want to buy it, how much does it cost?" ”
Su Qi calculated in his heart, as the world's number one currency, the exchange rate between the Great Xia currency and the US dollar is one to ten, and he used thirty yuan to buy this multi-functional computer chair.
But as the saying goes, "sit on the ground and start the price, pay back on the spot", Su Qi still understands.
Su Qi stretched out five fingers and said with a smile: "Five hundred dollars." ”
After hearing Su Qi's offer, the white woman did not accept the price, but put down the basket carrying clothes, looked around the chair, and carefully touched the material on it with her hand, and looked at it for a while before saying, "No, no, no, that's too expensive, a hundred dollars." ”
Su Qi shook his head and said: "No, four hundred and fifty, this is the latest model that just came out this year, it didn't take long for me to buy it back, it's worth the price." ”
"One hundred and fifteen."
"I'm so losing. Four hundred! ”
"The price is too high, this is still second-hand, two hundred."
Americans are not averse to second-hand goods.
"Otherwise, ma'am, with this computer desk, it's four hundred. This table and chair are matched, buy it back, you definitely don't lose money. ”
The white woman became interested and looked at Su Qi's computer desk again.
This table was actually given by Su Qi when he ordered a chair online, and he didn't spend a penny.
The white woman shook her head and said, "No, no, no, three hundred dollars, no more." ”
Su Qi looked hesitant and entangled, and the white woman just looked at him quietly.
After a few minutes, Su Qi shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Okay, ma'am, it was you who won." $300, deal! From now on, the table and chair are yours! ”
The white woman smiled, "You wait for me." ”
She lifted the basket of clothes and hurriedly ran into the stairs, and behind her, Su Qi gradually restrained his smile.
