Chapter 2 Preparations before the time travel
"Huh--wait, there's a phone call?!"
At this moment, Xia Yuan was only feeling grateful and had no intention of wondering why the power supply was restored so quickly.
Gasping for breath, he carefully looked at the mirror again. The mirror reflected his face perfectly, without a trace of abnormality. Everything that had just happened seemed like just an absurd nightmare.
Seven cycles of light and darkness? Univar? A storm surged in his heart. As a veteran story-based player of "Mysterious Era", Xia Yuan knew the meaning of this obscure term very well.
Unival, that's exactly what the NPCs in the game call that world! After calming down, Xia Yuan forced himself to stay calm, controlled his body and walked a few steps quickly to leave the bathroom. Then he quickly locked the bathroom door and turned on all the lights in the room.
The heavy rain outside the window had stopped at some point, and even the clouds had dispersed. The pale silver moonlight quietly fell on the city after the rain, creating a quiet and hazy beauty.
[00:31:12] After glancing at the clock on the table, Xia Yuan quickly returned to the bedroom, raised his glass to drink some water, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
After taking several sharp breaths, he slowly calmed down and began to think carefully about the content of the information.
"The gist of that message should be: Seven days later, I will travel to the world of Mysterious Era."
"But why seven days later? Does Univar really exist?"
While thinking carefully and analyzing the possible hidden information, Xia Yuan skillfully turned on the computer and entered the browser to post.
"I will be transported across time in seven days! What should I do? Urgent! Waiting online!!!"
After typing the title, he carefully added below:
"The power went out just now, and I went to the bathroom with a candle. I was bored while washing my hands, so I played a few rounds of rock-paper-scissors with the mirror. Then..."
When he got to "then", Xia Yuan pinched his chin and thought for a while.
How can I put it? I played rock-paper-scissors with a mirror late at night... and I lost?
Never mind. No one saw it anyway.
"Then, when I was playing the last round, I suddenly realized that I seemed to have won the second-to-last round..."
"In that game, the mirror played paper and I played scissors!"
"Then, I felt something was wrong. When I turned around to leave the bathroom, the candle suddenly went out, and then the person in the mirror suddenly turned around and smiled at me."
"Finally, a message appeared in my mind, which said, 'When the seven cycles of light and darkness end, I will come to another world.'"
"What should I do? Urgent! Waiting online!"
After posting the message, the sleepiness that had temporarily dissipated due to the shock came back from his body. Unable to resist the heavy sleepiness, Xia Yuan went to sleep.
It's too late, the dog's life is more important.
The next day, Xia Yuan, who had been tormented by a strange dream all night, turned on his computer with dark circles under his eyes and was delighted to find that he had received quite a few replies.
But when he opened the page with great anticipation——
"Experience +3, goodbye!"
???
Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment, and the screen continued to scroll down.
"Another one has gone crazy! Online novels these days are really harmful to people!"
"[Image] The brain CT scan results are out. There is a problem with the OP's brain, but I have fixed it with Photoshop!"
"In fact, you are the long-lost descendant of aliens. They are here to take you back to the Andromeda Galaxy!"
………
Looking at the building that was tilted to an unknown direction, Xia Yuan was stunned.
After calming down for a while, Xia Yuan rechecked the post he had posted. Then he realized with some sadness that he himself did not believe the nonsense of the poster...
After thinking for a while, he opened the browser again and posted another message skillfully.
“Cash for ideas: If you were to travel through time seven days later, what would you do?”
After typing the title, Xia Yuan went back to the post he had posted last night, copied the content, and pasted it into the new post.
I added that I want to write a novel, but I hope to gather ideas for some details, so I am soliciting some plans and suggestions here. If your content is adopted by me, I will privately send you a 100 cash red envelope, etc...
The collection period ends at midnight one week after the posting time, and red envelopes will be distributed after the collection ends.
The effect was good this time. Apart from a few cereals, there was finally a more serious reply.
“According to the OP’s setting, since the protagonist is unsure of how to travel through time, he needs to make preparations for both scenarios.
Let’s talk about clothing first. Because the environment after the time travel is uncertain, the protagonist needs to prepare protective equipment such as bulletproof vests and helmets, as well as various outdoor tools, medicines and consumables.
As for weapons, you can set them yourself. Also remember to prepare a laptop, a large-capacity smartphone, and the necessary solar power bank and backup batteries.
During these seven days, the protagonist should download as much professional knowledge as possible and save it to the computer and mobile phone.
For example, the production methods of rotten glass, cement, gunpowder, as well as various famous books and poems, etc., taking these to the other world is half a golden finger.
Oh, and there is also knowledge about the principles of mass-energy conversion weapons, identification of radioactive ores, etc. Maybe the protagonist will never use these, but if a person doesn't even have a little dream, what's the difference between him and a salted fish? Besides, it can also add some words! As for soul travel, since only memories can be taken away. Then the protagonist needs to master an efficient memory method in a short period of time, and then try to remember the content mentioned above.
In your spare time, you can read Wilderness Survival Guide, Actor's Self-cultivation, Auxiliary Communication Psychology, etc. These can help the protagonist integrate into the environment faster and increase the survival rate when crossing."
………
What can I do... I am also desperate! How to travel through time is not up to me! After reading the advice of the big guys on the Internet, Xia Yuan felt complicated, but his fingers instinctively typed out the reply that he had used thousands of times before: "Thank you, the master of the floor, and I wish you a safe life!"
After replying, he thought about it and added another sentence downstairs.
“Should I buy an Apple or a Huawei phone?”
Looking at the sudden surge in replies with satisfaction, Xia Yuan turned off the computer.
At this moment, he suddenly realized something.
The mirror has the final say.
Mirror?
Should I just smash the mirror?
Xia Yuan was a little conflicted, but now he has calmed down.
Thinking about it carefully, traveling to a world of swords and magic is not a bad thing. Besides, I know that world very well. What if... I can live forever? However, the background of the world of "Mysterious Era" is not peaceful. This is the disadvantage of the high magic world. It is easy to be affected by the battle between the strong and die unclearly.
Rebirth and time travel, two super-powerful golden fingers overlapped together, it should have become a stronger golden finger... But why did it turn out like this...
After hesitating for a while, he still went into the bathroom with a hammer.
It’s better to be safe.
Bang-bang-ding-bang…
The result was a bit disappointing for him. After hammering furiously, there was not even a scratch on the mirror surface. He even suspected that he was not hitting a mirror, but a solid metal wall.
"Sure enough, it's not that simple..."
Xia Yuan sighed, threw the hammer aside, and at the same time, he let go of the confusion in his heart. He thought about it and decided to make three preparations at the same time.
First, he opened a famous shopping app and used the money he had originally intended to use to order the various equipment he needed. He also negotiated with the store that all the equipment must be delivered within three days, and the postage was not a problem.
After placing the order, Xia Yuan immediately began to learn memory techniques and tried hard to memorize the knowledge that he felt might be useful.
After the electronic equipment arrived, I memorized and downloaded a large amount of professional knowledge related to various scientific principles...
He was very familiar with the world of "Mysterious Era", a very prosperous magic civilization. Low-end industrial products such as glass and gunpowder had already appeared, not to mention the existence of magic.
It can [turn fossils into mud] + [turn mud into stone] + [shape solid stone], which is much better than building materials like cement.
Only various high-end scientific achievements that do not exist in Univar are truly valuable information.
"Hmm, 'Self-cultivation of Actors', 'Wilderness Survival Manual', 'Encyclopedia of Social Psychology'...more strange knowledge!"
Although he didn't know in what form he would travel through time, Xia Yuan understood that the living conditions after traveling through time would be directly linked to the degree of preparation before traveling through time.
During this period of time, he almost took on the attitude of preparing for the college entrance examination, and tried his best to memorize all kinds of knowledge.
