Chapter 001 "Escape"

Holding the bayonet towards the sky, Zhang Zhen said fiercely

Damn it, heavens, if you have the ability, strike me with a lightning bolt and take me out!

Expelled from school at a young age, then fled while burdened with a mountain of debt

Some people want to buy a lottery ticket to become rich overnight, so they can proudly greet everyone they know, and then go to the neighboring wonton shop and, like a wealthy person, throw down two hundred-yuan bills, and then say in a particularly grand manner:

Both times, I was caught red-handed after the deed was done

Certainly, the locations where such relationships occurred were not well chosen; once it was in the physics laboratory, and another time it was in the department head's office

I scoff; I am a top student in the History Department and the grandson of a master of antiques. My extensive knowledge cannot be compared to that of this old fool

There is nothing more sorrowful in the world than this

People always have many, many dreams

The truth is always so cruel

For an entire week, regardless of how Zhang Zhen and the - picture - book promoted this bayonet, everyone who saw it scoffed and dismissed it. Not to mention the guaranteed return of 8,000, even 2,000 had no takers.

Filled with confidence, Zhang Zhen firmly believed that this bayonet could at least bring him a return of over 3,000, thus providing him with the capital to "start a business"

Then a flash of lightning struck

Some people wish to open their eyes and be surrounded by beautiful women, many of whom are dressed provocatively or even not at all. Upon seeing them, they would like to hear, "Master, you are awake!" It would be even better if there were elements of S or M involved.

The situation has become quite serious; the person who lent me money has made it clear that I must repay the loan by tomorrow, or I will lose a finger.

The reputation is quite poor

This way, I can vent my frustration towards the neighbor for whom I have developed a fondness, but she has never even glanced at me, the bespectacled girl with braces.

The sound of distant thunder rolled in, and Zhang Zhen looked up at the sky. A heavy rain was about to fall, which would greatly complicate his escape plan

Zhang Zhen is full of confidence in his business acumen, and with the knowledge he gained as a top student in history, combined with the expertise in antiques he learned from his grandfather since childhood, he naturally set his sights on the antique market

As for the age of this bayonet? It is somewhat strange; Zhang Zhen estimates that it is at least three hundred years old, if not more. However, there is an annoying old man nearby who insists that this bayonet cannot be more than seventy years old.

The sun and moon shine brightly, may heaven bless China

Indeed, I invested all of my assets, amounting to 8,000, of which 6,000 was borrowed from others

Usury, with an interest of one hundred per day

Of course, if one is to be dismissed, then one shall be dismissed; if this place does not accommodate me, there are other places that will.

No one knows where Zhang Zhen has gone, and those who engage in usury have also made harsh statements: along with the books

However, his recent "escape" has truly gone too far, far beyond expectations

As a high-achieving student in the history department, being expelled merely for having crossed the boundaries of a purely platonic friendship with two female classmates seems rather unjust

It is such a simple dream, not to return to ancient times to accomplish some grand undertaking, nor to change history, but for one sole reason:

From the materials to the craftsmanship, it is exquisite beyond compare, and can only be described as "stunningly beautiful"

Do not be surprised; not every university student engages in part-time work or supports themselves through their own efforts. At the very least, the first thing Zhang Zhen thinks of when he has money is to go to a nightclub

This era is not a place for people like him to linger!

Zhang Zhen was nineteen years old when he went missing

A somewhat peculiar-looking bayonet

For Zhang Zhen, the only dream is to one day be able to travel through time

With a loud bang, Zhang Zhen was startled. He was unsure whether he could traverse through books, but if that lightning were to strike him, he would likely be doomed.

Before Zhang Zhen could finish speaking, another clap of thunder resounded.

Zhang Zhen should pray for divine protection himself and not appear in this city again

If only time travel really existed, how wonderful it would be

It can be conclusively proven that the one lacking true insight is oneself, rather than that old man.

One can easily imagine the scenario of engaging in some primal instinctual activities with the department head's daughter in the department head's office, and how the bald department head would feel once this became known throughout the entire school

It is not to return to accomplish any great deeds, but merely to evade those creditors. With someone of my caliber, in ancient times, I surely would not be in such a dire situation as I am now

Thus, Zhang Zhen was very suspicious that those security guards who had captured him only acted after having their fill of watching.

If a finger could be worth 6,000 yuan, Zhang Zhen would be willing to part with it; however, unfortunately, after the cutting, the debts still need to be repaid

Of course, being expelled has another very important reason, which is related to the woman involved, and damned if she isn't the daughter of the department head

... ...

With a sword in hand, I possess the world

A vibrant age. There are rumors in the outside world that Zhang Zhen was forced to flee due to debts from usury, and those who engage in usury have also confirmed this rumor

Just kidding, just kidding

Both sides of the bayonet are engraved with characters

After negotiating with the boss, I successfully brought the price down from 20,000 to 8,000, thus fulfilling my wish to acquire this bayonet

Zhang Zhen immediately recognized that this bayonet was definitely not an ordinary item

Zhang Zhen has truly left this city

What shocked Zhang Zhen the most was that as soon as the bayonet was drawn, it quickly gave him a strange feeling

Wontons are filling

Zhang Zhen found something he liked at the antique market

Moreover, he still used that bayonet to cut off his own finger
