Chapter 1: Teleportation for a living

Chen Si has been suffering from a severe headache recently. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This headache has been with him for several years, and these months have intensified to the point of being unbearable, and he even has a bag on his forehead, which is getting bigger and bigger day by day.

Doctors were helpless and could not find the cause.

It is better to seek medical treatment than to seek oneself.

In desperation, Chen Si could only turn on the communicator and look up the cause on the Internet by himself, but he didn't expect that he really found something strange.

"The forehead is full of bags, which is a phenomenon in which the pineal gland of the human brain is stimulated and awakened, for example, Taoist priests who have cultivated their minds for decades, the bags on their foreheads are very obvious."

"The pineal gland is located in the center of the eyebrows, and is also known as the third eye of human beings, and after awakening, the mystery is endless......"

In the vast sea of information on the Internet, there is a remote corner covered with dust and cobwebs, and in the corner of this corner, there is a humble web page that no one cares about, and before Chen Si discovered it, it had only been viewed in the single digits.

"The pineal gland, the third eye...... What is this?,And this web page.,It's completely a copycat pirated web page made by a folk science enthusiast.。 ”

Chen Si is speechless, it is now 2136 years, and the content on this web page was last edited in 2016, which is very old, and it looks like nonsense at all.

Alas.

Dozens of hours were wasted, and there was only such a little "harvest", Chen Si sighed, rubbed his eyes a little tiredly, and casually copied the content of the web page and threw it into his favorites.

……

Time, 3 a.m.

Chen Si subconsciously glanced at his email.

"There is a new delivery mission, do you want to accept it?"

After waking up with a headache, he tossed and turned in bed, and he couldn't sleep, so he clicked on confirmation after thinking about it.

Got up from the bed, washed my face, got dressed, and a series of movements, clean and neat, were completed in 3 minutes.

"Coordinates, 234, 643, 871."

"Confirm identity: Employee Chen Si, obtain teleportation permission......"

"Permissions are being opened......"

Chen Si closed his eyes and concentrated his mental energy, and after about 3 seconds, the air fluctuated like flowing water, making a "poof" sound, as if conjuring a magic trick, and he disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, when he opened his eyes, he had arrived at the employee locker room of Beihai City Instant Wind Express Company, 50 kilometers away.

In a flash, he crossed the entire Beihai City.

Of course, there is nothing surprising about this.

In the new era, teleportation is a skill that every citizen of the earth has mastered, just like eating and drinking, it is no longer more commonplace.

2028 AD.

A comet named "Nemesis" entered the Earth's atmosphere and caused the largest explosion in Earth's history, scattering a large amount of debris around the world.

The comet brought a terrible virus, causing all living things to mutate around the world, and the beasts have turned into man-eating beasts, and the raging beast tide has destroyed 70% of the living space of human beings, and the global population has plummeted.

After the genetic mutation of human beings, although there are also warriors who can fight with fierce beasts with bare hands, the number and strength of warriors are far lower than those of fierce beasts, and they can only be supported by hard work.

At the critical juncture, human scientists were shocked to discover that the fragments of a comet could actually change the space-time structure of the earth!

Humans collected comet fragments, used them to build teleportation towers, and built cities around teleportation towers. In these cities, people can teleport with psychic powers!

With teleportation, the survivability and combat capability of humanity has increased significantly.

Now, a full century has passed, and the world pattern of the new era is composed of the five major powers of China, the United States, the European Union, Soviet Russia, and India, as well as dozens of large base cities such as South Africa, Brazil, and South Asia.

And teleportation has also completely changed human life.

Today, governments around the world have set up specialized teleportation training schools and examination bodies.

As a senior courier, Chen Si just obtained the Level 4 teleportation certificate a month ago, which means that the limit distance of a single teleport exceeds 1,000 kilometers.

has surpassed 99% of the people on the planet.

Sounds powerful, however...... It's useless, or you can only send couriers.

Chen Si smiled self-deprecatingly, and as usual, quickly entered the working state.

The express delivery in the early morning hours is generally a takeaway ordered by people who stay up late.

"Pick-up address: Delicious Pizzeria, No. 216, Huangshi Street, Qingshan District, Beihai City, coordinates: 263,553,805."

Chen Si entered the address into the communicator, and after 0.5 seconds of cloud map data search, the image of a pizza shop was projected in front of him.

Two conditions are required for a successful teleportation.

The first is imagination, you have to imagine exactly where you're going to teleport, and in this regard, having maps and coordinates can help you pinpoint your location. If you've been to a place before, it's much easier the second time.

The second is self-confidence, you have to have confidence in yourself, without the slightest wavering and doubt, concentrate your mental power and let it pierce the space like an invincible spear and lead you to your destination. If you get distracted and accidentally teleport into the spatial turbulence, then ...... Then you can prepare for the funeral.

Of course, for Chen Si, these are already familiar with the road.

"Poof!"

A few seconds later, like a puff of smoke, Chen Si vanished.

"Three pizzas, one delivered to No. 445, Dalang Street, Jianggan District, one to Room 6024, Youth Apartment, No. 124, Baiyun Street, Qingyang District, and the last one is farther away, and it will be sent to the night school at No. 312, Haibin District, Jiangnan City, next door."

In front of the delicious pizza shop, the clerk handed the packaged pizza to Chen Si.

"Got it."

Chen Si took the package and immediately began to deliver.

Teleportation is one of the characteristics of this era.

With the spread of teleportation, most of the roads, subways, airports and docks in the city were abandoned, cars were discontinued, and the price of oil plummeted, so that two barrels of oil could buy one barrel of mineral water.

In such a situation, traditional logistics companies have transformed to hire people with excellent teleportation ability as couriers.

For example, the food delivery service, Chen Si's pizza from Beihai City to Jiangnan City, from the time the customer placed an order at the online restaurant, to the confirmation of the order, packaging, and delivery, the pizza traveled hundreds of kilometers, and it only took a few minutes, of which Chen Si was responsible for the delivery link took less than 30 seconds.

This is the efficiency of logistics in the era of great teleportation.

Once he entered the working state, Chen Si worked non-stop, hardly taking any rest, working for more than 4 hours in a row, and delivering more than 200 pieces.

……

Time, 8 a.m.

Chen Si changed out of his work clothes and changed into a school uniform, and his identity changed from a courier of the Instant Wind Company to an ordinary student in Class 24 of the third year of Beihai No. 7 High School.

A busy day begins.

Repeat, do test papers, and correct mistakes in the same way...... The life of the third year of high school is always monotonous and repetitive.

time, it was 5 p.m.

"Jingle bell!"

In the anticipation of countless people, the bell finally rang for the end of class.

"Don't go, everyone, let me announce that the theme of this weekend's class gathering is: A Day of Circumnavigation Travel!"

The squad leader, Wang Miaomiao, a young and beautiful girl, ran onto the podium.

"At six o'clock in the morning, when the dawn breaks, watch the sunrise and the sea of clouds at the top of Mount Tai and drink a cup of coffee comfortably. Then head to the Alpine ski resort for a 15,000-foot downhill death ski! After the madness, let's lie back on the beach by the sea in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and enjoy a quiet sunbath. At noon, teleport to the Orbit of the Earth Peace Hotel in outer space, and have a delicious lunch while overlooking the beautiful scenery of the earth from space. In the afternoon, experience the retro slow life, visit the Old Times Museum, and enjoy the romantic Northern Lights in Svalbard, Norway in the evening. When night falls, I go to a Tokyo nightclub to party all night, and I don't get drunk and don't go home, and I fall into the morning! ”

"As for the cost of the party, pay 1,000 per person first, and then refund more and make up for less!"

Wang Miaomiao's voice fell, and the classroom instantly boiled.

After being suppressed for a long time, I can finally release it to my heart's content.

"Long live youth!"

The students cheered, their faces were full of excitement and anticipation, and they were discussing in groups, except for ......

Chen Si.

"1000?"

Chen Si's eyes were a little gloomy, and he sat motionless in his seat, out of place with the surrounding atmosphere.

For him who is financially constrained, 1,000 yuan is by no means a small amount, in fact, this figure represents his living expenses for a whole month.

And, frankly, he doesn't have any interest in this kind of class party, especially a nightclub party.

"Squad leader, this party ...... I'm not going, I'm sorry. ”

turned on the communicator and sent a message to Wang Miaomiao privately, and under the strange gaze of the other party, Chen Si walked out of the classroom with some embarrassment.

"Hey, the busy classmate Chen Si is going to have a class party again, is he going to deliver the courier?"

At this moment, I don't know who said something weirdly, which immediately caused some people to laugh in the classroom.

Chen Si frowned and ignored it.

"Chen Si, don't leave yet."

Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded, it was a handsome teenager wearing vintage glasses, combing in the middle of the hair.

The boy's name is Fan Qingwen, he is a member of the study committee in the class, not only handsome, rich in the family, but also very literary and artistic, and is the crush of many girls.

Swish! Swish!

Before Fan Qingwen could finish speaking, two yellow-haired students volunteered to rush up and block the door, staring at Chen Si with malicious intent.

Chen Si had no choice but to turn around.

To be honest, he doesn't like Fan Qingwen, not because he is jealous of the other party, but because this person has a habit - "good teacher". Fan Qingwen's posture is to guide Chen Si's life, forcibly instill values in him, and sell "chicken soup for the soul".

Chen Si guessed correctly.

"I've been reading books recently, and I have some insights that I want to share with you, and you can listen to them too, which is very beneficial to you."

Fan Qingwen smiled cordially, but couldn't help but look at Chen Si with a look of pity, "I recently watched Journey to the West, and saw Sun Wukong apprentice to Bodhi Ancestor, learned somersault clouds, a somersault 108,000 miles, how majestic!" But guess what Sun Wukong's brothers and sisters say? They laughed one by one and said: Wukong Creation! If you know this method, you can pawn shop soldiers with others, deliver documents, hand over newspapers, and find food wherever you are. ”

"It's sad that a person who has the superpower of teleportation only thinks about delivering couriers to eat, and the ancients have already satirized this psychology in the book. The reason why the poor remain poor is not because they have no money, but because they read too little and are short-sighted. You, got it? ”

Fan Qingwen spoke bitterly.

"I'm done, let's go."

Chen Si's face was expressionless, he turned around and walked outside, he was really not interested in listening to Fan Qingwen drop his book bag.

"Fan Shao, no matter how much you talk to this kind of person, it's useless, why waste your tongue."

Someone persuaded Fan Qingwen.

"Alas, maybe I'm just like Mr. Lu Xun, seeing this kind of person living numbly, and mourning his misfortune and being angry with him."

Fan Qingwen brushed the broken hair in front of his forehead, sighed a little sadly, "Why don't you do something more meaningful than sending a courier?" Life is not only about what is in front of you, but also about poetry and distance, isn't it? ”

……

In the corridor outside the classroom, Chen Si stood silently.

He didn't want to debate with Fan Qingwen because there was no point.

The class of the two people is different.

Fan Qingwen, a literary and artistic young man whose feet do not touch the ground and do not eat the fireworks of the world, cannot understand why Chen Si wants to work as a courier, just like the emperor in ancient times heard that the people had nothing to eat and starved to death, and innocently asked them why they didn't eat meat.

For people like Chen Si, it's just living...... It's already made him do his best.

Chen Si is 17 years old.

He came from an ordinary working family, and unfortunately, when he was 5 years old, his parents died in a ferocious attack. And Chen Si came to Beihai City as a homeless child.

In the first few years, he had a hard time.

Sleeping in the park, burrowing into the kennel in the winter to keep from freezing to death, picking up spoiled and expired things from the trash can to eat...... When he grew up a little, he finally found a job: as a courier at Beihai City Instant Wind Express Company.

This job allowed Chen Si to get rid of his wandering life and support himself, earning living expenses, rent, and tuition.

For this, he has always been grateful.

Picking up his mood, he returned to his post as a courier.

……

The sun sinks in the west, and the moon rises in the east.

Before you know it, it's already 9 o'clock in the evening.

Colleagues have long since left work, and Chen Si, after nibbling on a loaf of bread and drinking a bottle of mineral water, still continues to work tirelessly.

"600 packages have been delivered today, come on, send another 200."

Chen Si gritted his teeth and silently cheered himself on.

In the company, both colleagues and bosses are full of praise for Chen Si.

The youngest courier in this company has the strongest business ability, even if it is part-time, the average daily workload is almost twice as much as that of other couriers.

Everyone praised: this teenager was born to be a courier!

Whenever he heard this kind of words, Chen Si just smiled, and the bitterness and pain were enough for outsiders.

Everything is forced out by life.

Chen Si is just a high school student with no special skills, and in this era when everyone can teleport, it is not easy to find a job as a courier.

In the era of great teleportation, couriers are the cheapest workers, and they can only get a commission of 0.2 yuan for each package delivered, even if they send more than 10,000 pieces per month, it is only 2,000 yuan in wages.

In addition, teleportation is a mental activity that consumes mental power after all, and normal people teleport dozens of times a day, and it is no problem to easily travel around the earth, but teleportation is four or five hundred times......

Even an iron man can't stand it.

On the contrary, Chen Si endured it, and endured it day after day, year after year.

He is not "born to be a courier", he just wants to live with enough food, and in thousands of teleportations, he has forced himself to the limit and tempered it little by little.

Chen Si has been delivering couriers since he was 9 years old, and it has been 8 years since today.

More than 8 years, 3,000 days and nights, an average of 500 express deliveries per day, a total of 1.5 million teleportations, an average distance of 300 kilometers for a single teleportation, and a total mileage of 450 million kilometers, which is equivalent to 3 times the distance from the earth to the sun, even the fastest light in the universe, it takes a full 25 minutes to complete this distance!

Colleagues often ask Chen Si, where did he go to the teleportation school and who are the teachers? It's so good to teach students!

But what do you say?

Interest is not the best teacher, survival is.

Of course, Chen Si also paid the corresponding price for this:

Due to the overuse of his brain for a long time, he grew a lot of gray hair at a young age, and the headache that has plagued him recently is probably caused by this, and at midnight every sudden awakening, he curls up in bed and gasps for pain.

……

Time, 11:30 p.m.

After delivering the 802nd package, Chen Si finally got off work and returned home with his exhausted body.

In the new era, urban space is at a premium, and in the face of growing population pressure, human beings can only desperately build higher floors to obtain larger living space.

Chen Si's home is located on the outskirts of the city, and although it is only a low-rent housing community for the government, it is also a 60-storey building with more than 10,000 families living here, nearly 40,000 people.

Chen Si's home is located in Room 265, 32nd Floor, coordinates (134,659,621).

Nowadays, rooms are without doors and keys, because even the most advanced security doors are useless for the pervasive teleportation thieves, robbers and murderers.

However, in the teleportation network, each room has a unique coordinate point, which is equivalent to the real estate certificate and key, and only those who have the right to use the coordinate point can enter and exit the room at will.

Chen Si rents a house, and it is also the right to use the rental coordinate point.

The night sky is like the sea, and the clouds are like whales.

Pouring a glass of water and pushing open the window, Chen Si looked out the window quietly, stunned.

Beihai City at night is brightly lit, and the countless high-rise buildings, behind every window, and under every light, is a happy family.

"Dad, Mom......"

Chen Si touched the scene, his expression was gloomy, as if something was blocked in his chest, and he felt uncomfortable.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, another violent spasm struck Chen Si's mind.

His headaches flared up again.

And more than ever.

The pain, the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, it was as if someone had sawed through his skull little by little with a saw along his celestial spirit cover.

"Poof!"

Chen Si knelt on the ground, his face was red, his ears were red, the green tendons on his forehead were bulging, and the clothes on his body were wet with sweat.

Consciousness faded away, and the vision in front of me blurred.

Finally, he was completely unconscious.
