Chapter 31: The Promise, Return to Naroa
Voice was quickly connected.
When his mother's voice came, Chen Xuan just stepped out of the residential building and walked towards the outside of the community.
"Hey, Xiao Xuan!"
"Have you been busy with work these two days?"
"yes, Mom."
"Recently, our department has been working overtime for two or three months."
"Sometimes you can't even reply to messages for days."
Chen Xuan replied casually, and by the way, he prepared to bury the hook in advance for the next "lost contact".
"Take care of yourself outside, don't stay up late, and eat less fried food."
"You're not too young, don't forget to find someone after work."
"I've discussed it with your dad, and I'll sell the house next week and move back to the old house."
"Let's work together to make a down payment in Tianhai City, it doesn't matter if it's far away..."
"You don't have a house in the city, so getting married is a big problem."
Mother Gao Meilan's words made Chen Xuan stunned for a moment.
The pace couldn't help but slow down.
"What?"
"You and Dad are going to sell the house?"
"I don't think so!"
Chen Xuan flatly refused.
His parents have two apartments in their hometown county.
One of them is a resettlement house for workers in the late 90s, which is a typical old and dilapidated house, with an area of only more than 40 square meters, and is currently being rented at a low price, with an income of 1,000 yuan per month.
Demolition or something, there is no need to count on it within ten or eight years, the development potential of the county is limited, and these years are all outward expansion rather than inward turning.
The other is a commercial house purchased by parents with their savings more than ten years ago when the housing prices were not completely inflated, and the conditions are not bad in the county.
But according to their mother's wishes, they are going to sell the house they live in now and move back to the old and dilapidated school.
The purpose was just to help him scrape together enough for a down payment to buy a house in Tianhai City.
Chen Xuan only had an indescribable sense of separation when he heard the news.
There is a huge gap between the county seat and the magic capital.
Ordinary families may only be able to barely knock on a stepping stone in their lives.
But there's still a long mortgage to pay after the down payment.
Later on, getting married and having children also came with a variety of expenses.
The city will imprison his life, just as it does for thousands of people in the city.
Thinking of this, his heart became very heavy.
If he hadn't accidentally obtained the ability to [cross borders], maybe he could really only go this far.
His refusal provoked a violent reaction from Gao Meilan.
"You kid!"
"Buying a house and starting a family is a necessary stage for everyone!"
"It's not easy to put down roots in a big city!"
"It doesn't matter if your father and I are bitter, as long as you are in the city, the next generation will be able to have better learning conditions and living environment..."
Chen Xuan listened to his mother's voice on the other end of the phone, and didn't know how to refute.
I can't tell my parents about the other world right now.
At least wait for a while, he will have a certain foundation in both realms before considering it.
But selling a house is also a must.
There is no need to affect the peaceful life of the parents.
Material conditions such as the garage, after coming into contact with extraordinary power, Chen Xuan no longer cared.
Or rather, as his horizons broadened, he saw new opportunities to make money.
So after a short period of silence, he still firmly refused.
"I understand."
"You and Dad give me another year."
"Housing prices have stagnated in the past two years, and there will not be much fluctuation."
"If by this time next year, I still can't make a name for myself, then do as you say."
"Now, I choose to refuse!"
Chen Xuan's tone was very calm, but knowing her mother, Gao Meilan heard his resoluteness,
"Okay, Mom listens to you this time..."
……
Half an hour later, Chen Xuan returned to the rental house with the items he had ordered two days ago.
Several bottles of high-concentration tear gas spray, two vials of stocked paraquat, two domestic replica tasers and 20 poison darts with internal needles and matching small hand crossbows.
Everything here is a real contraband, enough for the police uncle to have an intimate conversation with him.
Tear gas spray and tasers are controlled police weapons.
The former is capable of spraying gases that cause severe irritation to human skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.
The latter is capable of emitting electrode projectiles with an impulse voltage greater than 800,000 volts, instantly incapacitating the target, and the effective firing distance is 5 meters.
As for paraquat, it is colourless and odourless without the addition of odouring agents.
The toxin enters the body and will be absorbed through the skin and respiratory tract of the digestive tract, and the toxicity can affect multiple organs throughout the body, causing organ insufficiency syndrome.
In terms of toxicity and characteristics, there is no doubt about its practicality.
As for the twenty poisonous darts, which contain succinylcholine chloride and cyanide, they are known as "poisonous dog needles", as the name suggests, are the equipment of those dog thieves.
He wasn't sure if the poison darts would have a lethal effect on monsters, but it was worth a try.
After all, the monsters of the Naroa Continent can be directly hacked to death with ordinary swords.
The anatomy of the body is not yet out of common sense.
After checking these items repeatedly, Chen Xuan put them all into the storage compartment.
When he was done, he took a quick shower.
Set the alarm clock, and the feeling of sleepiness will soon make him fall asleep.
……
At four o'clock in the morning, he was woken up by the alarm clock on time.
The one-year appointment with his parents gave him a sense of urgency.
At the end of the day, Blue Star is his home base.
So he had to find a way to make some money and build a comfortable rear.
Regarding the primitive accumulation of capital, he has several ideas, but they are all inseparable from the mastery of extraordinary power.
So the next goal is clear.
Chen Xuan wanted to make good use of his top talent and gain a firm foothold in the Naroya Continent as soon as possible.
After that, he will use the power of the other world to feed back the development of Blue Star.
After waking up, Chen Xuan changed into the "Otherworldly Suit", and after washing up, he launched the [Crossover].
……
Magdam City, Stink Mouse Alley.
At this moment, the sky is not bright, and the three moons are sinking in different directions.
The tri-colored light intertwined in the dark blue night sky is beautiful.
The bright light of the dawn slowly rises in the far reaches of the sky.
It will be dawn in half a clock.
The days and nights of this world are long, and the aborigines have a different set of biological rhythms than the blue star.
Before returning to the hut, Chen Xuan gently knocked on the broken wooden door.
Soon, he heard the faint sound of footsteps.
"Who?"
Rebecca's voice was guarded.
"It's me."
The door was pushed open, and Rebecca's petite figure holding a candlestick appeared and welcomed him in.
The house was still the same, and little Nick and his mother slept most of the time, trying to reduce consumption as much as possible.
Rebecca looks refreshed.
She didn't wear the long sleeves that Chen Xuan bought, but changed into a cool linen vest.
Because of the height difference, you can even see the waves swaying when you walk by candlelight.
In this world without underwear, there is a lot of trust between people!
