Chapter 5 Wormhole Descends

The protagonist in this story, or one of the protagonists, is Xiao Zishan.

Xiao Zishan was born in the late 70s. He is an ordinary person: his family is ordinary, his appearance is ordinary, his talent is very ordinary, and he is not a person who is willing to work hard to make progress, so his studies are very ordinary. Thanks to the expansion of university enrollment, he also became a college student. .

After Xiao Zishan graduated, he stayed in several enterprises in the Pearl River Delta, was deceived by a black-hearted boss, and had unrealistic dreams. Finally, he finally found a job with a good salary in a foreign company, and worked diligently. Getting paid for work—this work lasted for about six or seven years, and in the blink of an eye, I was thirty, and I still lived in someone else's house.I don't have any entertainment at ordinary times, but I like history and read some unpopular books.But when the story happened, the ex-girlfriend's face was almost lost - he still belonged to the group who wanted to celebrate 11.11.

On the night at the beginning of our story, the weather was very bad, and the dark sky was constantly flashing lightning - this kind of day lasted for almost half a month, sometimes there would be heavy rain after the lightning, and sometimes there would be rolling thunder Noise, rumors of a major earthquake have been circulating for a long time, and I have gradually become accustomed to it.Xiao Zishan got off the bus yawning, his eyelids were swollen, his legs were sore, his hair was disheveled, and he had the slovenliness of a poor and busy family.He hasn't been home all night.As a newly promoted regional manager, in order to meet the inspection of his superiors, he had to make reports in the office for a long time, especially the whereabouts of the reimbursement expenses one after another, which really troubled him.

It would be a great injustice to say that Xiao is a moth in the enterprise. It has not been three months since Xiao Zishan officially took this position.In the six or seven years since he entered the company, he has been working in the basic position of regional sales representative. The leaders at all levels above have cut off crops like leeks, but he exists like the root of a leek.

Three months ago, the leaders changed shifts again, leaving a pile of unexplainable reports and invoices as usual.Only this time, he was assigned as the district manager.

If he had this position two years in the morning...he would definitely be grateful to the company, but at this moment——Xiao Zishan just wanted to say to the leaders above, whether they were former or present, that he is a fool.

The company under the global economic crisis has been paralyzed since last year, and familiar colleagues in the regional office have disappeared one by one.For the rest of the business, he seemed extremely leisurely doing it alone.At this time, this appointment, after the promotion, did not mention adjusting the wages that had not been raised for many years, and did not give any business development instructions.Based on his seven or eight years of professional experience, it is not difficult to understand that this is a precursor to the planned abolition of the regional office.He is just a left-behind person, and he has to pack up after all the affairs are dealt with.

But the documents still have to be done... for the salary that has not been fixed for many years, I can still get a few more months.

Xiao Zishan's No. 20 sighs.He carried a large travel bag, and the bag itself and its contents were old promotional giveaways from the office: everything from kitchen aprons to undershirts to toothbrushes to ballpoint pens.They're all cheap little things.Except for a few things, he basically doesn't use them.But he still took it back very greedily—a poor man with short ambitions—these words couldn’t be more appropriate for him.

The rented room was fairly clean and tidy, but after taking a shower, he became more energetic. He turned on the computer and connected to the Internet.

Orson Wells said that the lottery is the painkiller for the poor, and the Internet is the opium for people like Xiao Zishan.Whether it's online games or BBS, or the online novels he reads every day.

Before Xiao Zishan had a job, he was considered a half-literary youth. He read a lot of miscellaneous books, and he also liked to dance and write, but his talent was limited, and he didn't eat words.After a few years of class, literary novels, no matter how profound or meaningful, were completely expelled by him—he had read too much of all the realities of society, and there was no need to rely on novels to add any impressions to him. .What he likes to read most is all kinds of obscene novels that travel back to the past... This probably has something to do with him, as a history buff, always wanting to make up for various historical regrets.In short, you have to look at it every day, as he said in self-deprecating, this is "spiritual suicide".

In addition to the daily spiritual exercise, he also goes to several BBS regularly.Like a drug addict, he feels empty if he doesn't go. In fact, he is not a famous figure in the jar, but the BBS provides all kinds of miscellaneous information, theories and knowledge, and all kinds of debates and quarrels. , the colorful human nature, even the performance of some hypocrites, is much more interesting than the workplace full of masks.

Go to the BBS, as usual, first look at today's hot posts.

"I found a wormhole leading to the Ming Dynasty! It's true!"

Seeing this topic, Xiao Zishan couldn't help but smile dumbly. Do you think it's silly to read time travel novels these days?Or are you dissatisfied with your own situation, eager to go to another world to start anew?

Looking at the post again, I found that Mr. Wen posted the post. Speaking of which, Mr. Wen is one of the "survival madmen" that Xiao Zishan admires on this BBS.Not to mention extensive knowledge, the delicate consideration of time travel and survival issues is also rare.It's a pity that Mr. Wen doesn't write time-traveling novels, otherwise his novel Xiao Zishan must be followed--of course, only pirated versions.

"Isn't it Mr. Wen's new idea again?" Xiao Zishan casually clicked on the post.At this point, his world has also changed.

To put it in a cliché, it would be "the wheel of fate begins to turn".

A week later.

"This is the wormhole?" Xiao Zishan carefully looked at the luminous body in front of him.Strictly speaking, this is an irregular circular, bluish light, not much different from the wormhole he imagined, the difference is that the light is not strong, and the size is much smaller, only the toilet as big as a mirror.

"It's very small." Wang Luobin said, like Xiao Zishan, he was also one of the first batch of people who decided to come and see after communicating with President Wen.

"A certain amount of pressure can be applied to the edge to expand." Wen Desi sat on the lid of the toilet, and the bathroom seemed a bit crowded with three people crammed in. "This hole can be enlarged or reduced, as long as a certain amount of pressure is applied symmetrically in the diameter direction. Just force. The expansion and contraction of the hole are synchronized in the two time-spaces." Wen Desi explained, "When the hole is reduced to 210mm, the wormhole will be closed, and the time-space cannot be connected."

"Can it really travel back and forth?" In Xiao Zishan's impression, crossing is one-way, basically it's either hit by a car or struck by lightning, and the gentlest one is lost, with the characteristic of never returning.

"If I can't come back, I can't post, and you won't be able to get here." He said, "I guess, the place after the time travel should be the same as the place where the time travel happened."

"You should buy a lottery ticket, Mr. Wen." Xiao Zishan muttered to himself, "The probability of finding a wormhole in the bathroom is lower than that of winning the jackpot."

"Is this not a jackpot?" Wen Desi laughed contentedly, "Is there a lottery that can win you a world?"

"Mr. Wen, didn't you always say: single-person two-way low-key time travel is the kingly way." Wang Luobin recalled the discussion about time travel on the BBS back then.

"That's right." Wen Desi pointed to the wormhole, "Do you know what's behind that? It's a world!" He waved his arms excitedly, "Through it, I can have an earth and a universe!"

"You conquered the world by yourself?" Xiao Zishan seriously doubted.

"That's why I posted that post..." Wen Desi seemed unwilling, "Besides, the opposite side is not a pleasant time and space."

"What time and space?"

"Probably in the year of Tianqi. I found Tianqi Tongbao."

Both Xiao Zishan and Wang Luobin gasped—the new world Mr. Wen found was an era where father-in-law was rampant.
