Chapter 2, The Fluctuation of World Lines

Seeing that she did not respond, Xu Xing did not rush to take out his admission ticket. Instead, he opened the computer in front of him, planning to wait until she finished this round before proceeding.

For example, in this world, Tencent is called Tengxin, but it has not developed WeChat; instead, it has added a pure version feature to QQ

For example, in this world of Pineapple phones, the groundbreaking product is not the Pineapple 4, but rather the Pineapple 5 that was just launched this year

Xu then walked over to the table next to the Yan Chi vinegar, pulled out a chair, and sat down naturally

A few minutes later, the door of the internet café was pushed open, and a tall, thin young black man, drenched in sweat, rushed in and immediately spotted Xu Xing, who was sitting in the middle of the first row

More than an hour passed, and this guy is still sitting there watching the news

Yan Chi felt that this behavior was very childish at first, so he chose to ignore it and continued to focus on playing his game seriously

"You talk too much, are you still going to play games?" Xu Xing urged, "My time is precious right now, tens of millions fluctuate every second, so you better cherish it."

She is a short-haired girl with an oval face resembling a delicate lotus flower, unadorned with makeup, dressed in loose blue and white school uniform, barefoot with her feet resting on the chair, her chin resting on her knees, closely aligned with the edge of the table

Just as Li Zhibin, who had just arrived at the front desk and was still recovering from his surprise, heard this, he immediately replied speechlessly: "I said I would cover your internet fees, not that I would treat you to a meal"

Yan Chi looked at his admission ticket, then glanced at Xu Xing's serious profile, which was focused and unwavering. He opened his mouth as if to ask something, but ultimately did not voice his question. Instead, he simply said: "Thank you..."

However, when the character dies, she still cannot help but glance over at Xu Xing a few times to see if he is still watching the news

In a fleeting glance, Xu Xing had already walked past the first row of computers and was about to proceed further inside when he suddenly halted, took a step back, and stood still beside three computer desks in the first row

Damn it! Li Zhibin cursed under his breath, but still turned on the machine at the front desk and ordered a bowl of instant noodles for him. "According to what you said, I also have to cover for you while you flirt with girls at the internet café?"

Um, the password is 123456. The internet cafe manager is a young woman in her twenties. After glancing at his ID card, she logged him in and then subconsciously looked at Xu Xing a couple more times, saying, "The lobby is a no-smoking area, please do not smoke"

Attempting to attract her attention

Moreover, while watching, he was muttering to himself, and even opened a document, though it was unclear what he was recording. He organized it into a structure resembling a mind map, which appeared quite professional at first glance

Without development funds, no matter how much one imagines in their mind, it is all in vain

I opened my computer and logged onto Baidu, and after searching for the end of the world, the results that popped up were all trivial news articles, with no information at all regarding the rumors about the Mayans

"Is it again me assisting?" Li Zhibin expressed his dissatisfaction

How frightening... Is this guy really a senior student in the same examination room as me?

Hello? At around 7 PM, Xu Xing received a call from Li Zhibin, "Oh, turn left at the entrance, first row."

On the following day, Messi scored another goal in La Liga, raising his total number of goals for the year 2012 to 91, breaking the previous record set by Gerd Müller

Upon thinking of this, Xu Xing instead felt no urgency for the time being. He stretched lazily in his chair, intending to deliberate slowly and consider his options carefully.

Yan Chi Cu can be considered as having broadened my horizons, as I have never encountered someone so pretentious

Yan Chi Cu matched with a new game, and thus no longer paid attention to Xu Xing's side, dedicating his energy to the game.

Upon seeing Xu Xing's actions, Yan Chi was clearly taken aback for a moment. After focusing his gaze, he realized that it was indeed his own examination admission ticket.

"You're welcome." Xu Xing nodded slightly, his mind completely focused on how to make a fortune after his rebirth, with no thoughts of romantic relationships occupying his head.

For example, an apple turns into a pineapple

Apart from that face and the cold, unapproachable demeanor, they are truly two completely different individuals

Yan Chi Cu was very skeptical about this

Moreover, it is not merely a change in name; in certain minor strategies and execution aspects, Xu Xing can also discern some differences from the previous life

After searching for over an hour, Yan Chi beside him had almost finished his second round of vinegar. Xu Xing finally let out a sigh of relief and leaned back against the chair.

The good news is that the difference is not significant

A large expanse of red and green made Yan Chi vinegar feel a tingling and swelling sensation on the scalp with just a glance

At that moment, he noticed Yan Chi's gaze filled with jealousy beside him

"How could the first AD in the canyon be your support?" Xu Xing took the instant noodles delivered by the young lady from the internet café, looked at the three big characters 'Master Ji' on the packaging, and his mouth twitched slightly. He opened it and took a bite, frowning as he said, "Why are there no sausages, and where are the eggs?"

Nothing happened until December 21

Xu Xing commented on this, but Yan Chi had no reaction at all, merely coldly and ruthlessly controlling the character to kill indiscriminately

The bad news is that in the current world he has been reborn into, certain changes have indeed occurred, resulting in subtle differences in some people and events from his previous life compared to the records in books

For example, Taobao becomes Taobao.

After this, Xu Xing searched through various things that he remembered, looking for information from major news websites, in an attempt to understand what changes had occurred in the world after his rebirth

Thinking of this, Xu Xing felt a surge of heat throughout his body. However, when he considered that he only had a few hundred yuan in his pocket, and with the lucky money hidden under his pillow, it amounted to no more than a little over two thousand yuan, most of which had been taken away by his mother, who euphemistically referred to it as the family fund

He is now somewhat doubtful whether the Yan Chi Cu in front of him is the same person as the Yan Chi Cu he knew in his previous life

In addition, well-known large enterprises such as NetEase, JD.com, Suning, and SF Express... all exhibit some subtle changes to varying degrees

After Xu Xing noticed her gaze, he saw that her computer screen was still on the matching interface, waiting. He then took out the admission ticket from his pocket and slid it across the table.

Fate is indeed an elusive concept; I never intended to find someone, yet unexpectedly, just when I thought all hope was lost, I stumbled upon the right person at the internet café.

Therefore, the first thing to accomplish this summer vacation is to secure the first bucket of gold

Alright

He took out the examination admission ticket he had found in the exam room from his pocket, compared it for a moment, nodded slightly, and couldn't help but smile wryly

Before he could even open his mouth to speak, the young lady from the front desk, appearing like a ghost, had already materialized behind him and softly said: "We are a legitimate internet café, and we have surveillance cameras here"

Ah? She picked up the examination admission ticket, blinked her eyes in confusion, clearly still unaware that her admission ticket was lost. "How could it be with you?"

But who among normal people goes to an internet café to read the news

In 2012, what left the deepest impression on Xu Xing was probably the Mayan prophecy of the end of the world

Xu Xing was amused by her and did not feel anything unusual. He simply turned his head to look at Yan Chi, who was sitting beside him. With a delicate and fair profile, Yan Chi was currently focused on the screen, skillfully maneuvering the cards to dominate the battlefield.

What the hell, how did you become so flirtatious after not seeing you for half a day

Currently, there is a lack of funding and connections for the gradual progress, and although there are ideas, there is no place to implement them, which is quite awkward

In fact, Xu Xing did not wait until the evening at all

Some are trivial, while others contain a gold mine

Just after taking a few steps, his gaze was drawn to the figure in the corner of the first row inside the store

To be honest, Yan Chi often encounters people trying to strike up a conversation with her in internet cafes, and she has always remained expressionless and unresponsive. When those who approach her see that their efforts are in vain, they generally just walk away

Li Zhibin grumbled as he powered on the machine and took a seat next to him by the aisle, eagerly opening League of Legends

Even a slow search did not yield any information about Zhang Xiaolong, and searching for the QQ email team that Zhang Xiaolong was responsible for also produced no results

Searching for Messi again, Xu Xing let out a slight sigh of relief; the person is still here

Hurry up," Xu Xingchao said to him, "and also get me a bowl of instant noodles, with a sausage and an egg added.

However, this is the first time she has encountered someone as thick-skinned and pretentious as Xu Xing

This time, the result is not about watching the news, but rather about watching the stocks

After spending an hour and a half to gain a general understanding of the current situation, Xu Xing was not in a hurry, closed the news and stock pages, opened League of Legends, and started duo queueing with Li Zhibin.

"Having it is already good enough," Li Zhibin said with a smile and a scold, "Do you think my pocket money comes from the wind?"

Thus, one did not wish to speak, and the other did not know what to say, leading the atmosphere to once again return to silence.

Here is your examination admission ticket

At least in the context and general direction of the development of the times, it is fundamentally still making significant strides in the original direction, although there may be some discrepancies in certain niche areas

"Found it in the examination room, we were in the same exam hall." After Xu Xing handed her the examination admission ticket, his attention returned to his computer as he continued to search for specific news information, casually saying, "Lucky me, I didn't expect to run into you at the internet café."

This internet café is located diagonally across from the police station, and under normal circumstances, no one would dare to act recklessly here. Yan Chi Cu also values this aspect, which is why he chose this internet café

Having said that, the young girl silently walked back to the front desk, her gaze fixed on this side.

"All expenses incurred at the internet café are referred to as internet fees." Xu Xing spoke with a serious demeanor, "Hurry up, a grown man should not be so indecisive."

Quite impressive. Xu Xing watched as her card master’s ultimate ability caught up with the opponent's low health, instantly using a yellow card to immobilize and execute a flawless combo. The operation was as smooth as flowing water, and the opponent probably never expected that behind this card master was a girl who had just finished her college entrance examination.

Upon returning home and setting down his backpack, Xu Xing casually strolled out, found a nearby internet café, and skillfully placed his ID card on the front desk, saying: "Please set up a computer."

At first, he boasted about his gaming skills, and when he saw no effect, he stubbornly refused to leave. Later, with so many empty seats, he chose to stay here and even opened a webpage to search for some seemingly impressive news to read.

Xu Xing picked up his ID card and subconsciously walked deeper into the internet café, looking for a more secluded spot

Glancing at the record, it has surprisingly reached 9 - 1. Xu Xing let out a soft "oh," feeling a bit astonished

Li Zhibin was certainly not blind; upon seeing Xu Xing, he also noticed the beautiful girl beside him, and his eyes immediately widened.
