Chapter 15: Crossing the River by Feeling the Stones!
ββ¦β¦ Ahem! As we all know, the income of chengguan does not mainly depend on wages, but on various second occupations to make money. It's the same for us - the dead wages of dispatch workers alone are definitely not enough to spend, and sometimes not even enough to pay rent, let alone buy all kinds of figurines and cosplay costumes!
So, we have to make the most of our abilities and find ways to make extra money! β
Captain Cai Rong, whose face was slightly red, coughed pretending to be old-fashioned, and shifted the topic from a direction that was not conducive to physical and mental health, but changed it to a more undisciplined direction, "...... And the last harvest in that red dragon's lair gave us a very enlightening ......"
ββ¦β¦ Continue to Yishijie to rob the house and become a robber? Wang Qiu shook his head again and again, "...... I don't think it's a good idea! It's natural that the two of you each have a net income of 6,000 yuan, but for me, this amount of money is just enough to pay for the medical bills. What a loss! β
ββ¦β¦ Who said they were going to rob it! We are also dignified national civil servants, how can we do this? It's okay to rob one animal, but it's probably a bit unreasonable to rob other humans...... I'm talking about trade, doing business with the natives of the different shijie! β
Senior Sister Ma Tong, who graduated from the Department of International Trade, immediately stood up pretending to be a professional, "...... I think you should also know that a bag of pepper could be exchanged for several times the weight of gold and silver in medieval Europe, and a transparent glass could be sold for tens of taels of silver in ancient China......"
ββ¦β¦ In that case, has anyone tried it before? Don't tell me that no one thought that the science fiction novels on the Internet that describe time and space trade can be said to be a big grasp over the years......" Wang Qiu shrugged his shoulders and said.
ββ¦β¦ Yes, there is, but because of the limitation of transportation volume, there is no way to expand the business......"
Senior Sister Ma Tong replied, "...... We don't want you, a big tyrant with a plug-in, to stuff things into the wormhole indiscriminately without restrictions. In fact, just trying to teleport your clothes and equipment to the world, instead of running naked to the other world with your bare hands, will take the effort of the old nose!
What's more, due to the limited number of crossings and the fact that we can't carry too many weapons and equipment, we usually don't dare to stay there for too long in order to avoid danger, and business is naturally impossible to carry out...... But even so, there are some successful precedents - it is said that someone who traveled back to ancient Persia and exchanged only the purple silk shirt he wore for a golden wine glass encrusted with precious stones! β
ββ¦β¦ The problem was that the gem-encrusted golden wine cup was immediately snatched by an ancient pickpocket, and he had to cross back shirtless...... And whether this deal is true or not, only he knows - maybe this is just a lie he made up to cover up the embarrassment of his shirtless return? β
Professor Yang raised his head from behind the newspaper again, held the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, pouring a scoop of cold water on Senior Sister Ma Tong, who was too taken for granted, "...... So, don't make it too easy to think about certain things! There are so many troubles that you didn't expect! β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
ββ¦β¦ Tuk Tuk, is anyone there? There's your papers here! Please come and check! β
Just as everyone was discussing the extra money, they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside the corridor, saying that there were new documents sent over.
Captain Cai Rong went over to open the door, and after a while, he brought two dark yellow brown paper envelopes.
Everyone opened it and found that one was an official document to mobilize Wang Qiu to join the organization, and the other was the relevant leaders of the Paranormal Phenomenon Processing Office of the Ministry of Harmony of the State Council, who gave instructions to Professor Yang and Cai Rong to apply for a second career and carry out cross-time exploration and trade. β¦,
-- This matter is very good, and all of them are approved, and the plan is self-drafted, and the funds are to be discussed.
ββ¦β¦ Meow a! This kind of instruction, which is full of Chairman Chiang's warrant style, which guy wrote it!! β
Looking at this line of cursive writing, Wang Qiu couldn't help but roll his eyes and make the most sincere complaint.
Then, he set his sights on the inscription in the lower right corner of the document. found that the name had been erased by someone with a ballpoint pen, and a line of small words was marked next to it: Xiangrui Yufu.
Obviously, this word is definitely not a person's name.
So, Wang Qiu asked the other three people, but he got an unexpectedly strange answer.
ββ¦β¦ You mean the director of the Office of Paranormal Processing? That's a guy who can't even mention his name! β
Cai Rong patted her flat chest with her little hand, and said in a trembling voice with a frightened face, "Mmmm, Xiangrui Yufu, Xiangrui Yufu......"
ββ¦β¦ People who can't even mention their names......" Wang Qiu rolled his eyes, "...... Could it be that he is Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter? β
ββ¦β¦ Just a Voldemort, how can our director be so cruel?! That snake-faced guy is not the legendary auspicious rui! β
As if to enhance her persuasiveness, Cai Rong shook her arm exaggeratedly, "...... You don't know! The director of our paranormal processing office is a notoriously super auspicious! The whole person is made up of bad luck! It's okay to be in our shijie, the most scourge is the scourge of the people around you, once you cross into a different shijie, the bad luck is really going to fall apart, and even God can't bear it!
It is said that his first mission was to travel to medieval Europe during the Mongol invasion to find a middle school student who had fallen there.
As a result, our director easily killed 90% of the local Europeans and 50% of the Mongols just by relying on the modern germs he carried. Later, the terrible plague spread even further, killing almost half of Europe and half of North Africa, and the famous cities of Europe, such as Paris, Rome, London, Cologne and Vienna.
Next, the remnants of the Mongol cavalry, which had fled back to the East, brought the germs to Goryeo, Japan, China, and India...... Everywhere you go, there are corpses all over the field, and people are extinct! But our director slipped all the way from Hungary to Barcelona, Spain, with a follower and a crowd of corpses and ruins, and successfully completed the mission and came back, and even got the title of prince out of nowhere.
Later, on another occasion, he personally led a team to travel back to the era when the Eight-Nation Alliance entered Beijing to save a Qing woman who was reincarnated into a noble family of the Eight Banners. As a result, no sooner had the director arrived than the city was burned in the city, and then there were 10-magnitude earthquakes, a violent plague, and super hailstones bigger than a basin, plus terrifying rumors of rats eating people......
On the night of the next day, another meteorite hit Tanggu Harbor, causing an unprecedented super tsunami to hit the entire Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, bringing the Far East Fleets of Britain, France, Germany, Russia and the combined Japanese fleet to the beach......
In short, when he finally came back with the Qing woman, the entire North China Plain had become purgatory, Beijing, Tianjin, Lushun, Dalian, Weihai, and Qingdao were all in ruins, and the Eight-Nation Alliance was almost a foreign beggar......"
If it is said that the great achievements of His Excellency the Director of the Supernatural Phenomena Processing Office in a different time and space made Wang Qiu breathe for a while. Then the next sentence added by Senior Sister Ma Tong made Wang Qiu can't help but greet the female relatives of the director. β¦,
ββ¦β¦ The most terrible thing is that after Comrade Director successfully returned to modern Shijie, he accidentally brought back the smallpox virus from that era, which should have been extinct for a long time, causing the entire Shijie people to have to be re-vaccinated against cowpox, and China alone spent hundreds of billions of yuan for this......"
ββ¦β¦ It is no wonder that three years ago, the whole city of Beijing was first under martial law, and then it was necessary to carry out a nationwide vaccinia vaccination...... At that time, the central government fooled us that it was a Middle Eastern terrorist who stole the smallpox virus in the laboratory! It was all his iniquity......"
Touching the scar on his arm, Wang Qiu couldn't help but mutter, "...... No wonder he didn't want to let his name be knownβalmost all of humanity had been killed by him! Once revealed, God knows how many hateful guys will grit their teeth and curse him every day! β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
ββ¦β¦ Ahem, in any case, the application for carrying out cross-time and space trade has been approved so far. Now let's discuss a feasible solution as soon as possible! First of all, the first step should be to find the right warehouse......"
Head Cai Rong coughed lightly, trying to guide the conversation back to the topic again - how to create a second career to earn extra money.
However, Wang Qiu's gaze drifted over her undulating Lori figure and fell to a certain position behind Cai Rong.
ββ¦β¦ Commander," he said, raising his right hand and speaking in a somewhat dry voice, "...... Can you interrupt and take a look behind your back! β
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Cai Rong blinked inexplicably, then turned her head, and was immediately shocked!
- She saw a hole!
A hole that suddenly appeared in the void!
The hole was about the diameter of a basketball, surrounded by a billowing black mist, with a glittering silver light at the edges, and in the middle was a bottomless whirlpool of darkness that swirled rapidly, showing a faint suction that seemed to be able to swallow everything.
Although this scene seems to be very mysterious, very mysterious, and very detached from common sense, all four people in this office know what is going on.
-- The wormhole that transcends time and space has reappeared!
And a new journey through time is about to begin.
But the problem is, how to do business with the other world to make money, they haven't discussed a preliminary jihua yet!
ββ¦β¦ What is this......" Professor Yang touched his chin, "...... I think Comrade Xiaoping has a famous saying, which seems to be very applicable on this occasion. β
ββ¦β¦ Please! Wang Qiu, Ma Tong and Cai Rong asked in unison.
ββ¦β¦ Let's cross the river by feeling the stones! Professor Yang waved his hand passionately.
ββ¦β¦ Depend on! Doesn't that mean nothing was said?! β
Wang Qiu finally couldn't help but complain.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
