Chapter 2: Time Travel!
Bai Chen was born in a poor village in China.
He also has two older sisters.
Like most children in the village, the three siblings live with their grandparents while their parents work away from home.
Chinese New Year is the time he looks forward to the most because he can see his parents and enjoy all kinds of delicious food and fun activities.
Life changed when he was fifteen.
My parents died in a car accident.
The driver was fully responsible for the accident due to drunk driving, but had no money to pay compensation, so he served the maximum seven-year prison sentence.
Even more tragically, the grandparents, who had lost their parents, were so heartbroken that they also passed away not long after.
The old house and its foundation that remained were divided up by several uncles.
Only the eldest uncle couldn't bear to see them suffer and took the three siblings in.
But my uncle's family wasn't well-off either, and they had a very difficult time.
It wasn't until my eldest sister got married and often used her husband's family's money to subsidize this family that life became a little better.
However, this also resulted in the eldest sister having no status in her husband's family, and she was sometimes even beaten.
Later, my second sister also got married. She married someone from far away, and I heard that her husband's family was quite wealthy.
However, after she got married, contact gradually decreased, and eventually there was no news for several months.
It was in this kind of environment.
Bai Chen has grown up.
He's done all sorts of jobs, from factory assembly line workers to restaurant waiters and security guards.
My last job was in sales, and it was also the job I held the longest.
Bai Chen achieved unprecedented success in this job.
At its peak, I earned 30,000 yuan a month!
He also met his ex-wife, Gong Lili. The two got to know each other, fell in love, and eventually got married.
The year after their marriage, she gave birth to a son, whom she named Bai Muyan!
that time,
Bai Chen felt that he was the happiest person in the world.
A two-bedroom house with a mortgage, a car worth tens of thousands of yuan, a loving wife, and adorable children.
He even wanted to bring his uncle from his hometown to the city to enjoy a comfortable life.
"Heh~"
Bai Chen revealed a sorrowful smile, but before he knew it, tears were streaming down his face.
All the dramatic changes stemmed from a high fever in my son.
After my son developed a high fever, his kidney function failed, requiring long-term dialysis and expensive imported medications.
They ate so much that they ruined their car and their house.
The wife eventually couldn't take it anymore and chose to leave.
The overall economic environment is getting worse and worse, making sales work increasingly difficult.
To cover his son's exorbitant medical expenses.
After get off work, Bai Chen also works part-time as a food delivery driver.
Life seems to have returned to the difficult times we were back then.
However, although life is tough, there is still a glimmer of hope.
As long as we can keep my son alive and wait for a suitable kidney donor, he will be fully cured.
Unfortunately.
Plans can't keep up with changes.
The company's performance declined year after year, and it finally went bankrupt.
Bai Chen had no savings and couldn't find any other work.
Relying solely on food delivery services is simply not enough to cover the high medical expenses for her son.
Just then, a lifeline appeared.
Moisturizing!
Run went to the United States.
Donald's immigration policies led to a significant decrease in undocumented workers, creating a substantial shortage.
Staying in the country meant she could only watch helplessly as her son died.
Bai Chen had no choice.
He secured a loan through an intermediary and boarded a flight directly to Mexico.
Then we traveled to New Mexico, the state closest to the US mainland!
I calculated the time.
After today... it should be two months, right?
"Damn it!" Bai Chen slammed his hand on the tin box.
I hate it!
He hated the labor agency for deceiving him, saying that at most he would feel unwell for a while, but in the end he died.
He hated the black men who stole his wages even more.
If those black men hadn't stolen his wages, why would he have participated in such a dangerous thing as drug trials?
"Whatever, we're all going to die anyway, so taking one with us is better than nothing."
Bai Chen grew increasingly resentful, and a fierce anger arose in his heart.
Desperate situations breed madness.
Just now.
[Strong emotional fluctuations detected in the host; binding to the Multiverse Gate successful!]
[Gate 1: Martial Continent]
[Cooldown: Five days (can be traversed)]
[Activate time travel?]
???
Bai Chen rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating.
But when he clearly saw the projection in front of him, he knew that it was all real.
Goldfinger!
"Phew~"
Bai Chen was emotionally agitated, his chest heaving violently.
At that moment, a wave of difficulty breathing surged through me, and my lungs felt like they were on fire, with waves of burning pain.
The pulmonary fibrosis has worsened.
Bai Chen's face was deathly pale, yet he managed a rare smile.
What people fear most is having no hope.
The appearance of the Gate of Myriad Realms brought him hope in his desperate situation.
Perhaps... pulmonary fibrosis, a disease that cannot be cured in this world, can be resolved in another world.
Even if it can't be resolved, they should still make a sum of money in their last moments and send it to their son in China to prolong his life.
Bai Chen rubbed his chest to relieve the burning and tightness in his chest.
At the same time, his mind raced, trying to figure out how to use the Gate of Myriad Realms.
...
First of all, he only has one chance to go to the other world.
Because of pulmonary fibrosis, there was no chance to cool down during the second crossing.
Secondly, apart from the name "Martial Continent," he had absolutely no idea what the situation was like in the other world.
The level of humanistic, geographical, economic, and technological development, as well as the level of military strength, are all unknown.
Wearing bulletproof vests, carrying AK rifles, and gathering some transparent glassware like cups...
Bai Chen was using his imagination.
But he immediately shook his head and rejected the idea.
Because the Chinese restaurant provided meals and accommodation, he mailed all two thousand dollars he earned from the drug trial back home.
With only a few dozen dollars left in his pocket, he couldn't afford an AK rifle, let alone a sharp machete.
.....
Half an hour later.
Something new appeared in front of Bai Chen.
A windproof lighter, a bottle of cheap liquor, a bottle of iodine disinfectant, a bottle of ibuprofen painkillers, bandages, compressed biscuits...
—And a glass water glass and a few glass beads!
Bai Chen remembered a novel he had read before, in which the protagonist traveled to ancient times and exchanged glass beads for a thousand taels of silver.
If the Martial Continent were set in an ancient feudal era, it might come in very handy.
After making all the necessary preparations.
Bai Chen gripped the cloth bag containing supplies tightly with his right hand, glancing at the time on his phone...
Time (11:52)
"Phew~"
Bai Chen took a deep breath and silently recited in his mind, "Transcend the Martial Continent!"
call out!
The figure vanished instantly into the tin box.
......
Yong'an City.
An inconspicuous city within the territory of the Daqian Dynasty.
The city's economy is quite good because it is located near a canal port.
The streets are lined with shops and many street vendors.
A young man carrying a cloth bag walked down the street.
The local people and vendors all cast strange glances at him.
Strange clothes and shoes, delicate skin, and somewhat odd, yet quite beautiful, hair.
Every single one of them is completely out of place with its surroundings.
This strange young man was Bai Chen, who had transmigrated from another world.
