Chapter 1: Unemployed, I had no choice but to explore a different world [seeking investment, seeking to read]
"Then, sign this agreement to terminate the labor contract, and the process will be completed."
"Within three working days, the seniority compensation and payment in lieu of notice will be credited to your account."
"Regarding the suspension of insurance and the sealing time of the provident fund, you will be notified in the form of a text message next week."
In the office, a personnel manager wearing black-rimmed glasses and a ponytail was saying to Chen Xuan with a cold face.
The agreement in front of him has been signed by the legal representative and stamped with the official seal, only his signature is missing.
In this regard, Chen Xuan didn't say anything, reached out and picked up the agreement, read it all unhurriedly, and after confirming that there was no pit, he picked up the carbon pen and signed his name.
Waiting for the personnel manager in front of him, who looked like a high school dean, to finish the review, both sides took a copy of each, and after bowing their heads lightly, they got up and left the office.
Pushing open the tempered glass door, there are several "former colleagues" from different departments waiting outside to go through the formalities.
No one said much, Chen Xuan walked quickly to the elevator with the agreement in his hand.
Affected by the general environment in recent years, the company's business has become more and more sluggish.
Since last month, economic layoffs have been initiated.
Nearly 200 employees in the company were laid off by 30%.
Passive layoffs and active job hopping are two different things, which in itself is a kind of elimination.
Nowadays, the workplace culture is getting worse and worse, and it is not easy to find a satisfying job.
Walking out of the office building, Chen Xuan glanced up, the sky under the cover of high-rise buildings only left a line of blue, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
After a moment of silence, he stepped forward and walked towards the subway station near the company.
The pedestrians around him, both men and women, all looked serious and hurried, as if they had pressed the fast-forward button.
Only Chen Xuan walked slowly, looking out of place.
Swiped his card to enter the station, waited according to the line, and soon he took the subway and prepared to return to his rental house in the suburbs.
Grabbing the ring, his mind drifted away...
In Tianhai, a super first-tier city known as the magic capital, the savings he saved after four years of work could not make up the down payment for a small apartment in the suburbs.
In the past four years, he has been frugal and does not dare to indulge himself in the slightest.
Savings do have some, but that's about it.
Compared with the yearning for the big city when he just graduated, Chen Xuan has already accepted his fate.
For an ordinary person with no family background, living in this city made him feel small, like an ant in a dense forest.
It's a frustrating and desperate reality.
Recalling the ambition of Lingyun when he just graduated, Chen Xuan only felt ridiculous.
There are too many proud sons of heaven in Tianhai City, and if they want to make a name for themselves here, they are either extremely talented, or the second and third generations of their families and the local demolition natives.
The Demon Capital lives up to its nickname, it can devour people.
I left the subway station in a daze, and it was almost dusk outside.
Chen Xuan came to the convenience store with an expressionless face and bought a few cans of beer and a pack of spiced peanuts, came to the building he rented, first returned to the rental house to put the agreement, and then went straight to the rooftop.
Don't get me wrong, although he was depressed, he was not fragile enough to take his own life.
The tranquil rooftop is a relatively independent space.
Whenever he was in a bad mood and needed to vent, he would carry beer peanuts to sit on it, blow a cool breeze, look at the vista and empty his mind.
At the beginning of summer in May, the weather was not too hot.
Chen Xuan climbed to his old position and opened a can of bubbling beer, only to feel a little more relaxed.
With a few cans of beer down, the night gradually fell.
Dropping the empty jar in his hand, Chen Xuan suddenly let out a breath of turbidity.
His cheeks were slightly red, but his gaze was particularly scorching, as if he had made some kind of decision.
"There's nothing to say, it's a big deal to go back to your hometown and stay!"
"Don't wait for this demon!"
After a low roar, the depression in my heart disappeared.
Just as he was about to take out his mobile phone and talk to his parents back home.
The pupils looking at the night sky constricted slightly.
I saw a silver line in the night.
"Shooting Star!"
This is the first time Chen Xuan has seen a meteor with his own eyes!
It is indeed beautiful, but it is not as spectacular and striking as imagined.
The light of this meteor is not dazzling, mixed with a slender silver trail under the starry sky, it is a passing flying star, if you don't look carefully, you can't even trace its trace.
However, staring, Chen Xuan sensed that something was wrong.
That silver dot of light seems to be growing rapidly in size?
After only a few seconds, he was no longer calm, because the point of light was falling towards him!
In just a moment, it changed from the size of sand and gravel far away to the size of a basketball in front of you, which is simply unscientific!
It's not like flying, it's more like teleporting.
There were no brilliant fiery red burning effects, no shrill whistling sounds, and even the silver light emitted was bright and not dispersed.
Chen Xuan subconsciously wanted to escape, but he was a step slower after all.
He had barely taken half a step before the ball of light engulfed him.
On the roof of the building, it was like an incandescent lamp with a large wattage suddenly turned on and out, but it was only to this extent, and there was not much momentum to attract the attention of others.
On the silent rooftop, Chen Xuan lost consciousness and fell to the ground unconscious.
It's just that a key mark with roses appeared on his forehead.
The mark was fleeting, and soon left no trace.
……
"Hmm..."
When Chen Xuan woke up with a groan, it was already midnight and early in the morning.
The night became darker and darker, and a cool breeze was blowing on the rooftop.
He sat up on the rough concrete floor, but there was no discomfort in it, only a little thirsty.
After waking up, the memory quickly returned to his brain, and he remembered the ball of light that had fallen from the sky.
"Good guy, just a few cans of beer, you won't hallucinate."
Because of the fact that he was asleep for a while, he began to doubt his memory.
But at this moment, it seemed to be a response to the doubts in his thoughts.
The light and shadow of a rose key appears.
Then three more lines of short, pulsating and strange font came to mind.
Perhaps it was directly due to the consciousness level, Chen Xuan obviously did not know these words, but he could understand their meaning.
【Crossover】
【Storage】
【Plug-ins】
……
Chen Xuan was silent, he concentrated and confirmed that he was awake.
is also familiar with all kinds of online works, and this cognitive breadth makes him quickly accept the facts.
He was stunned for a moment, then smiled self-deprecatingly.
"It seems that I am unemployed, so I have to explore another world!"
These options in the mind can be interacted with by the mind.
It's not hard to understand what they do.
When Chen Xuan locked the [Crossover] option with his mind, a new prompt was immediately refreshed.
【Crossover】
……
【Naroa Continent】
【(Open the space-time gate)】
[The first cross-border will ensure that the landing location is screened into a random viable area]
……
Chen Xuan suppressed the idea of opening the space-time gate immediately.
To be on the safe side, you must make adequate preparations before proceeding with [Cross-Border]!
Otherwise, if you pat your head and enter the other world, you may encounter an unknown situation, which will lead to yourself being passive or in danger!
So it's better to stabilize your hand first!
