Year 779 of the New Era.
Qingchuan City, Xingchen Country.
The weather is sunny and the gentle sunshine caressing the earth like a warm hand.
The breeze blows by, bringing fresh air, making people feel refreshed.
A street not far from the entrance of Aoki Park.
Qi Ji was leaning against an off-road vehicle that looked peculiar in shape but a bit old.
He put his left hand in his pocket and rubbed his chin with his right hand, looking as if he was thinking about something.
It seems that I really traveled through time and became an eighteen-year-old boy, also named Qi Ji. Fate is such a wonderful thing.
The world I am in now is called Shenglanxing, a planet that is hundreds of times larger than the Earth.
This planet is indeed very vast and has many mysterious continents, each of which has some unique civilization.
Countless civilizations coexist in this world, either in parallel or blending, making this world colorful.
However, no one can easily peek into the secrets of Holy Orchid Star, because humans are not powerful on Holy Orchid Star.
Compared to the powerful beasts of the mountains and seas, most humans seem as weak as ants.
The civilization I belong to is a technological civilization, which is somewhat similar to the previous modern civilization on Earth.
However, the level of technology here is obviously higher than that on Earth. More importantly, there is also a martial arts civilization in this world.
However, martial arts practice is really out of reach for ordinary people.
Why think so much? Just take it one step at a time and we'll talk about the future later, Qi Ji thought.
"The creatures in the park's cages are very different from those on Earth! The wolves in there are as big as buffaloes on Earth, and they have sharp horns on their heads."
You can tell how terrifying the unicorn is at first glance! It seems that many things in this world cannot be measured by common sense on Earth." Qi Ji thought.
At this time, a middle-aged couple happened to pass by Qi Ji, and the middle-aged woman with ordinary looks happened to hear what Qi Ji said.
The middle-aged woman suddenly became weird, and then she pursed her lips and muttered to the middle-aged man: "Honey, is this man crazy? Isn't it common sense that wolves have horns? What is a buffalo? It's bigger than a wolf! And what about the ball?"
Qi Ji naturally heard the middle-aged woman's whisper, but it was enough for him to know his own business.
But after hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at Qi Ji with a mocking look, which made Qi Ji very uncomfortable.
Qi Ji is not the kind of person who is generous about everything. He seemed to have thought of something. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then he suddenly fixed the two of them with a strange look.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man felt a chill for some reason, as if Qi Ji in front of him was a ferocious beast.
The middle-aged man ran away, leaving the middle-aged woman beside him far behind. The middle-aged woman was trembling all over, and her legs were shaking as she fled towards the nearest street.
Looking at the middle-aged couple who were running away in a somewhat embarrassed manner, Qi Ji smiled. He thought of a poem, "Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately" to describe the reaction of the couple at this time.
"It seems that my eyes are my golden fingers, which can make people who are stared at by me feel fear. Although this golden finger is too low-end, I will just use it for what it is worth."
"Oh, it's so boring, I should go home and surf the Internet."
When Qi Ji was about to get into this shabby SUV, he suddenly saw through the rearview mirror a silver-haired girl of about eleven or twelve behind him who seemed to be talking to the driver of the bus.
The girl seemed to be begging for something, looking aggrieved.
But after a while, the bus driver drove the silver-haired girl off the bus, and then waved his hands in the air as if nothing had happened.
That is the trendy technology product of this era - a thermal projection bracelet. The bus driver is happily reading a novel at the moment to kill time when the bus is not full of passengers.
The silver-haired girl left the bus in disappointment. Her thin figure seemed particularly lonely on this sunny and shady path, like a small flame struggling in the cold wind.
When Qi Ji saw the silver-haired girl clearly, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The girl was wearing a simple white lotus skirt. Although she looked tired, her petite face and delicate features could still be seen. Her delicate and fair skin was as smooth as flawless white jade.
And the long silver hair adds a mysterious beauty to the girl.
Qi Ji seemed to have thought of something and walked towards the silver-haired girl, but the girl just lowered her head and walked slowly, not noticing Qi Ji walking towards her.
"Little sister, do you want to take a bus home?" Qi Ji asked with a smile.
“Ah~”
The silver-haired girl was startled for a moment, then raised her head and looked at Qi Ji nervously.
After a few seconds of pausing, the silver-haired girl timidly said, "Uncle, I don't have enough money for the ride."
"hehe-"
"Call me brother! I'm still young!"
Although Qi Ji was still smiling on the surface, he was speechless in his heart.
I am only 18 years old and she actually calls me uncle.
Am I that mature? But for the sake of cute little girls, I won't mind.
"Oh, okay, uncle, oh no! It's brother," the silver-haired girl said weakly.
"Do you want to take my car? I'll take you home."
After hearing this, the silver-haired girl seemed very hesitant and her face turned a little red.
"Oh, little sister, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Qi Ji asked puzzledly.
"Brother, it's nothing, I'm just a little tired." The silver-haired girl said weakly.
"Little sister, where are you going? If it's on your way, I can take you with me and the fee will be lower."
After hearing this, the silver-haired girl seemed to have thought of something and became determined. She asked hesitantly, "Brother, can I go to Graystone Street?"
"You are going to Graystone Street. I remember that place is only ten kilometers away from my home. It's just on the way."
"Excuse me, how much is the fare?" the silver-haired girl asked nervously.
Qi Ji did not answer immediately, but thought for a while before asking, "Little sister, how much can you give for the fare?"
The silver-haired girl touched her stomach with her right hand, and it was obvious that she was very hungry.
She wanted to save some money to buy food for herself and her sister when she was almost home.
She felt her pocket again, thought for a moment, and then said in a baby voice, "How about 30 soles?"
After hearing this, Qi Ji remained calm on the surface, but he felt a little amused in his heart.
"No, 30 soles is too much. It has to be at least 50 soles." Qi Ji said firmly.
The silver-haired girl touched her belly again, as if she had made up her mind.
Then he said, "Brother, I only have 40 soles left. If it doesn't work, then I won't do it anymore."
The silver-haired girl only had 40 soles in total, and she wanted to leave 10 soles, but she felt that going home was more important to her than her belly.
Qi Ji made a thoughtful expression, and then said with a face that showed he was at a big loss, "40 is fine! Get in the car, I'll take you home on the way!"
After hesitating for a while, the silver-haired girl decided to get on the bus because she really wanted to go home!
At this time, the intelligent voice system in the car automatically sounded a prompt.
"Welcome aboard the Ruihong Generation."
"Master, please set the position coordinates and speed!"
"Location: Huishi Street, speed automatically adjusted to 150 km/h," Qi Ji said.
"Voice verification successful, power activated... 3, 2, 1."
“Woo~!”
The off-road vehicle did not make the roaring sound as imagined. It only made a little noise when it was first started, and then it was in a super low-pitched automatic driving state.
…
"What's your little sister's name?"
"My name is Mi-Di."
"Mitty~Mitty, what a nice name."
"Why did you come out alone? At your age, you shouldn't leave home so far alone, right?" Qi Ji asked with some confusion.
"Home?"
After hearing this, Mitty felt a little disappointed, and then smiled.
Yes, I have a family and I have a sister who is the best to me!
"Sister Mitty? What's wrong with you?"
After hearing Qi Ji's words, Miti calmed down and suddenly remembered the question just now. Miti thought about it, and then said, "I came here with an auntie. The auntie said she could help me make money."
"But for some reason, after I got off the bus, when I went to the bathroom, my aunt was taken away by a group of uncles in black clothes."
After hearing this, Qi Ji's eyes suddenly became strange.
No way, the woman who was trafficking children and was caught by the inspection team this morning was the aunt that Miti mentioned. How naive is this girl!
"Oh, so that's how it is. Sister Mitty, don't trust strangers easily in the future. This world is very dangerous and it's easy to be deceived!" Qi Ji warned with a smile.
Mitty nodded, then stared at Qi Ji blankly.
My sister also said the same thing to me.
………
Half an hour later, Graystone Street became Stoney Road.
The self-driving Duanhong No. 1 stopped at a shabby and simple street, the door opened, and Miti got out.
Looking at the familiar place in front of him, Mitty smiled like the rising sun after the snow.
Although this place is a slum, simple and dilapidated, it is where the person she cares about most is - her sister, her only relative.
"Brother, this is my fare."
Mitty happily handed the crumpled banknotes in her hand to Qi Ji.
Qi Ji smiled and took the banknotes.
Mitty didn't notice that Qi Ji quietly stuffed a few hundred-sol bills into her skirt pocket.
The actual fare this time should be 10 times 40 soles.
Qi Ji knew that Huishi Street was where refugees lived and that survival was very difficult for them, so he wanted to help the girl.
The reason why I didn't say it was free was because that would make Mitty suspicious and probably wouldn't get on the bus.
No matter how simple-minded Mitty is, he understands the simple principle that he has to pay for things.
