After paying the rent and settling the accounts with three colleagues.

Yang Zheng looked at the remaining money; there was still over seven thousand yuan. He planned to gather ten thousand yuan in a couple of days and transfer it to his mother.

My father is sick and hospitalized, and my mother has been taking care of him, which all costs money.

Apart from their son, the two elderly people had no other means of support or source of income.

To put their minds at ease, I must relieve them of any worries.

Currently, we are still severely short of money.

Make money!

We must do everything we can to make money in this small world.

At this moment, all is quiet outside the window.

Yang Zheng drew the curtains, took out the Tai Chi Bead again, and began to study it carefully.

He treasured this bead and always carried it with him carefully, afraid of losing it.

If you want to turn your life around and get rich, you'll have to rely on this.

He gently pressed the translucent bubble on the Tai Chi Bead, and instantly, the mirror-like portal between the two worlds reappeared in the rented room.

Looking at the ripples constantly spreading across the mirror, Yang Zheng fell into deep thought.

For the past few days, he has had a question on his mind.

Is it possible to open this portal in other places besides within my rented apartment?

If he can only operate in this rented room, then he'll have to rent here forever.

To be honest, now that he has the ability to make money in the small world, he has decided to quit his job and go back to his hometown.

It's practically impossible to cure my father's condition.

However, the doctor said that with active treatment, the patient's life can be extended, perhaps by one year, perhaps by two years.

If the treatment is effective, it is possible to live another three to five years.

In any case, my father doesn't have much time left.

Yang Zheng wanted to return to his hometown to be with his father and accompany him through the last days of his life.

But going back is very easy; you can go back anytime.

The biggest problem is the lack of income.

If this Tai Chi Bead could open a portal between the two worlds no matter where it is, that would be wonderful.

After returning to his hometown, he can still make money in the small world and stay with his parents.

But the problem is that he can't be sure if this bead can actually do that.

In the past few days, he has opened the interdimensional portal multiple times in his rented apartment.

After careful observation, he discovered a detail.

The location where the portal always appears is always right in the center of the rented room, without changing at all.

Whether he opened the portal on the balcony or in the bathroom.

It will only appear in the very center of the rental apartment.

Also, once you enter the small world, you're always at the top of that hillside.

Within the small world, the location of the portal has not changed.

Therefore, Yang Zheng was always somewhat worried that the location of the interdimensional portal was fixed.

Of course, this is just his current guess and has not been verified.

To resolve this mystery, Yang Zheng thought to himself, "I'll go out and find a hotel later, book a room for a few hours, and try opening a portal inside to see if it works..."

Do it as soon as you think of it.

He immediately grabbed his ID card, rode his electric scooter, and found a hotel as quickly as possible.

The hotel was less than a kilometer away from his rented room.

I went to the front desk to register and pay, and got a room, room number A8406, on the fourth floor of the hotel.

After finishing, Yang Zheng took the room key and went to room 406 as quickly as possible.

He stood inside the room, locked the door, and then looked around to see if there were any security cameras.

Recently, many videos have been circulating online, claiming that some hotels and guesthouses have hidden cameras that secretly film people.

Although he knew very well that this was just an isolated case.

But we still need to check it carefully.

After all, he possesses the secret of the Tai Chi Pearl, and if it were to get out, it would bring him a lot of trouble.

They searched every hidden spot in the room but found nothing that resembled a camera.

In this way, he was completely at ease.

Standing by the window in the hotel room, Yang Zheng took out the Tai Chi Bead that he kept close to his body, took a deep breath, and pressed the "button" to open the interdimensional portal.

With a "whoosh".

A streak of light shot out, and then a miraculous scene unfolded.

The mirror-like portal between the two worlds appeared out of thin air on the empty ground at the foot of the bed.

Looking at the ripples constantly spreading inside the portal, Yang Zheng was overjoyed.

"It's a success!"

"So it turns out that it's not just renting a house that can open a portal between the two worlds, but other places can too!"

"That's great, that's really great..."

Looking at the portal in front of him, Yang Zheng had another question in his mind.

"I didn't open the portal inside the rented apartment. If I enter the small world now, I wonder if I'll be teleported to somewhere else?"

After thinking about this for a moment, he finally decided to enter the portal and see what was going on inside.

As Yang Zheng approached the portal, he slowly extended his arm and gently touched the ripples on the mirror's surface.

Instantly, a powerful suction force pulled him entirely into it.

Just like when he entered the small world before, everything suddenly went black.

After a brief period of mental blankness, he opened his eyes again and found himself in the miniature world.

The wind whistled in my ears, and it was pitch black all around.

With the help of the milky white light emanating from the mirror portal, he could clearly see that the surrounding scenery was very familiar; it was the top of the hill he had entered many times before.

The portal between the two worlds appeared on the hillside, in the same spot, without any change.

Seeing this, Yang Zheng frowned slightly.

"The entrance location hasn't changed at all; it's still at the top of this hillside. What's going on?"

He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, but he couldn't figure out why.

After staying in the small world for less than five minutes, Yang Zheng returned to the real world.

Standing in his hotel room, Yang Zheng closed the interdimensional portal.

He then made other attempts.

For example, opening a portal inside the bathroom of a hotel room, or opening a portal at the door of the room...

Without exception.

The portal always opened in the open space on the floor above the bed in the hotel room, without ever moving an inch.

He vaguely noticed a detail.

Within a certain range or distance, each time a portal is opened, its location will only appear in the same place.

In other words, on Earth, to open a portal to another location, one must be beyond a certain distance and range.

Of course, this range shouldn't be too far.

It could be tens of meters, or it could be hundreds of meters, but it will not exceed one kilometer at most.

Because his rented apartment is less than a kilometer away from here.

To verify his guess, he decided to try it in a few other places.

In the next two hours, Yang Zheng visited several budget hotels and inexpensive guesthouses.

Try to open the portal inside.

Without a doubt, these places can open portals between the two worlds anytime, anywhere.

But after entering the small world, it was still at the top of that hillside.

After a night of experiments, Yang Zheng has tentatively come to a conclusion.

"Anywhere on Earth, the Tai Chi Bead can be used to open a portal between the two worlds, but no matter where you are, once you enter the small world, your location inside is fixed; you won't appear in an unfamiliar area of ​​the small world..."

It was past 1 a.m. when I got back to my rented room.

This place is already very deserted.

Both outside and inside the building, it was pitch black and silent.

Yang Zheng sat on the bed, holding the Tai Chi bead, and began to study it seriously once again.

Currently, Earth has conducted numerous experiments demonstrating the ability to open interdimensional portals in different locations.

Next, he plans to enter the small world tomorrow during the day to begin the second experiment.

Let's see if other locations in the small world are like on Earth, where we can open portals anytime, anywhere.

This experiment is crucial; he must figure it out.

"It's getting late, let's go to sleep."

"Whatever it is, let's talk about it tomorrow during the day."
