Chapter 1: Crossing Over to Pay a Visit (Part 1)
June 20th, a day worth remembering, because Wang Fangyuan from the book will celebrate her 23rd birthday today. Let's wish her eternal happiness and longevity, matching heaven's age, reigning supreme for all eternity! And in the days to come, may she have boundless longevity, eternal health, radiant complexion, and savor every bite! Enough of this digression, let's begin the main topic.
If you look at it objectively, without any emotional factors and don't take into account his past behavior, then Comrade Wei Yuankun's appearance can still be considered that of a handsome guy. A white face that makes most girls jealous, wearing blue glasses with resin frames, plus a height of 1.78 meters and a relatively strong body, when equipped with Kevlar helmet, digital camouflage uniform, tactical vest, bulletproof jacket, combat boots, backpack, multi-functional dagger, leg gun holster and other equipment, he looks at least no worse than the male lead in CCTV's modern military-themed TV dramas. The only difference is that our Comrade Wei Yuankun doesn't look like a soldier when walking, with his collar open, sleeves rolled up, and an AK74 rifle equipped with a holographic sight and a Picatinny rail grenade launcher slung across his chest, walking in an eight-character step, kicking everything that can be kicked along the way. Overall, it's basically a modern, high-end version of a - bandit image.
The blue sky has not a cloud, surrounded by green cornfields, all of which are ripe and ready to be harvested. Although they are not as big as those in their own time and space, they still look very tempting. The distant green hills are not too high, but also lush and green, and the mountain road does not seem steep, making it a great place for a picnic or outing. Standing on the slope, you can see a small village in front of you, with a small river running through it. In this picturesque environment, Wei Yuankun sat down on the slope, stretched his back, and said something that didn't match the surroundings at all:
"Damn his ancestors for eight generations! His grandma's a damn Bitch!"
It's really frustrating, Wei Yuankun took a deep drag on his cigarette. Although the brand he smokes is not bad - Zhonghua soft pack, it sounds like something a big shot would smoke, but if you look at how he smokes, you'd definitely think he's just a homeless vagrant who can't find work. But this isn't his fault, because currently in his pockets there are still five and a half packs of these cigarettes left. Although it doesn't sound like a lot, unless they're able to return home, which is an exception, otherwise these will be the last Zhonghua cigarettes he'll be able to smoke. Therefore, with this cigarette in his mouth, he's unexpectedly treasuring it, following the principle "rather give up two acres of land than one butt", sucking on it until only a filter tip is left.
Currently, reality is very depressing for him. As a "businessman", of course, he's not an ordinary businessman, but a arms dealer - and not just any ordinary arms dealer, but a special kind of arms dealer who operates in different time-spaces. For this profession, I think people who have read about alternate histories should know what it means. Unlike those who are unknown in their original time-space but achieve great things after crossing over to another time-space, these people can create new history with their knowledge that surpasses their era. However, in Wei Yuan Kun's eyes, they're just kids who can't go back home. As for himself, although he's a businessman without power or influence, he has the ability to travel through different time-spaces with ease. Nevertheless, as an arms dealer operating in alternate time-spaces, Wei Yuan Kun and his group aren't very successful. Although they're one-of-a-kind in their own time-space, their business operations are on a level that can be called amateurish. Despite having good luck and completing over ten deals without being discovered by the Time-Space Management Bureau, when their luck turns bad, it's really bad. This time, although it's their first encounter with such misfortune, it's a huge trouble - their prized possession, the time-space jumping machine, has malfunctioned. The only consequence of this malfunction is that they're stuck in an alternate time-space and can't return. This is the outcome for someone who's not even a decent arms dealer. Originally, he and his partners were all young people who had just graduated from university and entered society, but three months ago, during a class reunion trip to the mountains, they stumbled upon a time-traveling machine. It was because of this machine that these thirty-odd people came up with the idea of using it to become rich overnight. With this machine, they started dealing in arms after becoming rich overnight, hoping to strike it rich again.
"It's this machine that has ruined everyone!" Next to her, Wang Fangyuan was crying there, and the beauty's tears won everyone's sympathy. If it were a man, for example, Cao Jialiang, nicknamed "Cao Gonggong", who was crying with his head in his hands, he would have been met with unanimous disdain from his male peers, and almost simultaneously, the boys from the class of "Seven Fairies" shouted: What are you crying about!
But if it's a girl, especially a beauty, then this is not excessive at all. As an ordinary girl who grew up in a traditional family and received strict home education, she would naturally not be able to be like some movie heroines who are fearless and daredevil, able to pick up an AK47 and massacre everything in front of her at critical moments - such superwomen probably don't exist on this earth. Wang Fangyuan's reason for getting mixed up with this arms trafficking gang was definitely not to seek thrills. To be honest, for a girl who would get scared by just seeing a caterpillar, wanting to seek thrills would already be enough with things like dance teams and dance mats, there's no need to follow her original classmates' adventurers to play cross-time adventures. The reason she participated was still for the most basic purpose - money. Ah, women's products are generally very expensive, such as LV bags, Chanel perfume, and all sorts of brand-name clothing, not to mention those beauty and skincare things that she didn't even dare think about before. However, cross-time trading, especially arms trading, allowed her to have all these things. Unfortunately, this time it was her turn to pay the price for this - she got trapped in an unknown era with possibly nothing at all. There's none of the usual things from her world here. She and more than a dozen other girls who came with her had the same worries - what should be here might not be here, and what shouldn't be here might be many - heaven knows, what would suddenly rush out of the wilderness might be a man-eating tyrannosaurus rex, rather than a wild dog like in her neighborhood back home.
To sum it up, the people who were transported here this time are a group of ordinary young people from the 21st century. Although they can't be said to be incompetent, they also aren't particularly skilled at anything. Fortunately, they have very advanced weapons and equipment, and their ammunition is still relatively sufficient, so for now, they're not too panicked. However, if they had to survive in a place without the internet, Japanese anime, supermarkets, fashion stores, or even basic necessities like filtered cigarettes and Anluo comfort toilet paper, it would be simply terrifying.
So when Wei Yuankun said "Damn it, we're done for!", seven or eight hands immediately grabbed his collar - although the main culprit who broke the machine was not him but Wang Fangyuan, as a man of honor, taking responsibility for a beauty is naturally his unshirkable duty. Although this was just Wang Fangyuan's personal idea, Wei Yuankun with poor credibility still attracted everyone's anger. After all, people need to vent their anger, and Wang Fangyuan was excellent in both character and learning, honest, gentle, kind, beautiful and pretty... In short, at least what this sister said is much more credible than Wei Yuankun, and recalling the past, it seems that Wei had done similar things many times before, only this time was the most serious. So all that can be said is that Wei Yuankun was really unlucky, and he thought so too.
Like Wei Yuankun, Zhang Yu and his team also considered themselves unlucky. At this moment, they were also using the unique profanity of the Chinese People's Liberation Army to scold loudly. This unexpectedly traversed team had 5 special forces and a 99A2 tank. Just as Wei Yuankun was being held by a group of people for criticism, Zhang Yu, as the highest commander of this regular army, was sharing the last cigarette with the tank commander in the tank. Both of them were complaining. Zhang Yu complained that if he had known he would be transferred to such an unknown place, he wouldn't have taken this unlucky car. The tank commander complained that if they hadn't stopped to pick up these unlucky special forces, they might not have encountered the traversal phenomenon that often appeared on the internet. Of course, they didn't know yet that their arrival was a result of a group of young people causing trouble, and they had paid the price for it. They were trapped in this time and space, less than 500 meters away from this small team - but because of a patch of green screen blocking their view, they hadn't discovered each other's existence yet.
