Chapter 2 Beijing
It turned out that Yuanxi thought too much, not only did he not need to pay for the room, but also the beautiful waitress said that he could stay as long as he wanted, this was a long-term guest room.
Yuanchuan let out a sigh of relief, but he didn't have any intention of staying here for long. Although he himself couldn't figure out how he ended up here, this place definitely wasn't his. He had to hurry back, although the early shift at the shop was definitely missed, there were still two more shifts left and he couldn't afford to delay anymore.
He hastily walked towards the door, but as soon as he went out, he was completely frozen in place, as if he had been cast a petrifying spell.
The scene in front of me is too unfamiliar.
Towering skyscrapers that pierced the clouds, colorful flying cars streaming through the air, countless gigantic holographic projections, and even fully transparent shops floating in mid-air... Scene after scene of bustling activity, yet somehow still perfectly orderly.
Yuanchuan was stunned for a long time, this absolutely wasn't the city he was in, no... everything here didn't belong to his memories of Earth. This place seemed like a futuristic society that would only appear in movies.
Even Rao Yuanchuan, a man with nerves of steel, was somewhat unable to accept this at this moment.
With others, it's all just a spring breeze... nothing much, you're already an adult at 18. Being taken advantage of... also nothing, not only didn't lose any flesh but also felt pretty good.
But... what the heck is going on now?! How did I inexplicably end up in a different place just because of a spring dream, is it that serious?! Is it that serious?! Is it really that serious?!
In the depths of Yuanxi's heart, there are tens of thousands of little companions roaring past, shouting loudly 'We're all shocked! We're all shocked!'
At this moment, a sky-blue flying car suddenly stopped in front of him. A young man with golden hair stuck his head out and said enthusiastically: "Hey kid, want to hitch a ride?"
Yuanchuan was still loading wooden stakes there, the blond young man raised an eyebrow and said with a knowing tone: "First time in Beijing? Get on, I'll give you 20% off."
Beijing... Beijing... Yuan Xi's mouth twitched fiercely, Beiningmei, he studied in Beijing for four years, how come he had never seen such a Beijing before!
He was already invited by the blue little sports car, which was as enthusiastic as its owner, to get on, no mistake, you didn't misread it, he was really invited by the little sports car.
The passenger seat was moved humanely under Yuanxi's butt, and with a swoosh, Yuanxi was pulled into the car.
Yuanyu's butt: Wooooo, this place is so scary, why am I always being bullied.
When Yuan Xi came back to his senses, he was already sitting in a rickshaw, touring this unfamiliar yet all-too-familiar Beijing.
The blond young man was a typical chatterbox, his mouth chattering non-stop all the time, even if Yuan Xi didn't respond, he could still talk to himself without stopping:
"Hey little bro, where's your home planet? You look like you're from our Federation. Speaking of which, I was also shocked when I first came to Beijing. This is one of the most prosperous planets in our Federation, it's really awesome! My home planet can't compare to this place, it's a poor and backward place..."
Yuanchi couldn't say a word, he really wanted to tell himself that this was just a dream, but the tragedy is that his impoverished brain cells absolutely can't produce such a realistic dream.
The blond young man was still chattering away, enthusiastically introducing the various districts and streets of 'Beijing', as well as some gossip that Yuan Xi couldn't even understand.
Yuanchuan finally shifted his gaze to the blond young man, and with the youth's enthusiasm, he suddenly felt a thud in his heart. If he wasn't mistaken, this little flying car should be a taxi, and taxis aren't free rides. At a 20% discount, Yuanchuan still remembered it.
So, when he arrived at the place, he had to pay, and he was carrying a wallet with this month's living expenses inside, exactly ten 100-yuan bills. If it were in the Beijing he knew, taking a taxi would still be okay, but now he didn't even know what kind of place this was, would the 100-yuan bills work here?
The idea had just flashed through Yuan Xi's mind when he suddenly saw a huge red bull.
That was a 100-yuan bill, how big was it? It was as big as a floor. Yuan Xi blinked his eyes and took half a day to react, this should be a three-dimensional stereoscopic advertisement...
As expected, the blond young man spoke up: "Tsk tsk, collecting ancient coins again. Are these outdated paper currencies really that valuable? They've been hyped up to sky-high prices. If ordinary people like us had just one or two of them, we'd be set for life..."
Eat well, dress warmly, have no worries!
Yuanchi's eyes suddenly lit up, Emma... Is this the economic compensation given to him after the shock?
One big red cow can eat and wear without worrying, he has ten whole ones in his pocket! Did he encounter a good thing that became rich and handsome in one second?
Calm and composed, Yuan Xi comforted his heart that was racing for money, first secretly stuffing ten 100-yuan bills into the small pocket of his innermost undergarment, before mustering up the spirit to carefully ask what was going on.
Because Huang Fa's young man spoke in a very standard Mandarin, so Yuan Xi opened his mouth and spoke without any obstacles.
Jian Yu Xi finally responded to him, and the blond young man said even more vigorously. Although collecting ancient coins was a bit far-fetched for him, he couldn't avoid the constant barrage of advertisements, so he still knew quite a bit about it.
After filtering through a large amount of chatter, Yuan Xi barely managed to summarize the information he wanted.
As long as he rules out that he is dreaming, hallucinating, or having a split personality, it can be basically determined that he has come to the future, and it's still an unknown number of years after.
This is Beijing, but it's a far cry from the Beijing he knew. This Beijing isn't just a city, it's an entire planet, classified as an M-class terrestrial planet in academic circles.
The blond youth's mouth was full of praise for Beijing, saying it was almost his ideal paradise, but that was about it. He couldn't provide any other information about this planet, just endless admiration and a strong sense of pride at being able to live here.
As for collecting ancient coins, it's almost the same as what Yuan Xi imagined. Just like in his time, there were people who were enthusiastic about collecting antiques, and in this era, there is also a group of people like that. And the brand new 100-yuan bill in his hand suddenly became an antique.
To be more accurate, he himself seems to have become an antique.
Yuanyu slightly stunned, and then pulled his thoughts back, shifting his gaze forward. The window of this blue flying car was a 360-degree surround view, he could see the outside scenery from any angle, vivid three-dimensional holographic images, introducing products that he couldn't even imagine in his dreams.
The latest high-speed flight device that can be reduced to the size of a ring, transparent and smooth mobile phone that can transmit various information at will and project 3D images in the air, as well as intelligent robots that advertise themselves shamelessly and even beg for sponsorship...
Yuanchi's mouth twitched, and he barely managed to shift his gaze away from the intelligent robot with a beautiful girl's face but a big old man's body. He was afraid that if he looked for another minute, his eyes would go blind.
The scene in front of him made Yuan Xi, this genuine rustic bumpkin, look around with wide eyes, until the small flying car stopped, and he looked at the blond young man with a puzzled expression.
The blond youth also seemed somewhat dissatisfied, muttering: "This is the twelfth spot check this month, are there really that many space pirates? This is Beijing, after all. The air defense system here is one of the best in the entire Federation. If pirates could sneak in, that would be a real ghost story..."
He complained with his mouth, but his actions were very regular and stopped at the designated place for inspection.
This little episode didn't faze Yuan Xi at all. What connection could the space pirate possibly have with this outdated old relic?
The blue convertible's top was open, and the blond young man had just complained, but now facing the inspector in a deep blue uniform beside the car, he smiled again as brightly as a flower: "Deputy Li, you're working hard! We've been checked twelve times already, where can there be any problems? We have all the formalities complete and extremely regular..."
The man known as Deputy Li raised an eyebrow and glanced at him, but didn't say much, instead shifting his gaze to Yuancreek.
"Please disable all defenses and we will scan your affiliated chip for verification." Deputy Li's voice was stiff, although the content of his words was polite, but his tone was lazy, it was obvious that this was just a set phrase.
Yuan Xi was stunned, he felt a little bewildered... what defense, what chip... and so on, a not-so-good premonition emerged from the bottom of his heart.
Times have changed, but the methods of catching criminals seem to be more or less the same? Chips and whatnot, although he doesn't understand them, but he has seen movies, it can't be something like an ID card, right?
He is a good citizen of China, with all his household registration and ID card in order, but he doesn't even know what a chip looks like!
He didn't utter a word when he saw him, and Deputy Captain Li repeated what he had just said.
Yuanchi puckered his mouth, countless thoughts turned in his mind.
The blond young man was really enthusiastic, and seeing Yuan Xi like this, he hastily interjected: "Little brother, no need to be nervous, when we came to Beijing didn't we all go through security checks? It's the same thing, just a routine inspection, they're only checking your basic information, they don't have the authority to inquire about your private information."
Yuanchuan has already been shouting in his heart, big brother, the key is that he simply doesn't have a good chip.
After such a stalemate, Deputy Li finally put away his lazy attitude and became serious. He took out something from his pocket and aimed it at Yuan Xi: "Three seconds later, a forced scan will be performed."
Yuanchuan stared at the rectangular thing in his hand, his mouth twitching. "Big brother, what are you doing pointing a remote control at me...?" Although he knew that a police officer handling a case would definitely not use a remote control, it was probably some advanced weapon from the future or something. But this shape, it's just too ridiculous...
Compared to his calmness, the blond young man was terrified, and he hastily urged Yuan Xi: "You... you'd better agree quickly, this... this can be fatal."
Yuanchuan looked at the blond young man with a expressionless face, then turned his head to look at Deputy Captain Li, stiffly opening his mouth: "I didn't..."
Although it's a childbirth essay, the protagonist is a man, pure and simple, this is what makes it interesting.
