Chapter 6: If You Want to Get Rich, You Must Travel Through Time

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

The old man did not see the image of the vendor and replied calmly, "Sure, but I must remind you that the things you bring back have no time to settle!"

The old man looked at him as if he were an idiot and said, "Nonsense, of course it is from the sky!"

Oh no! The vendor excitedly slapped his thigh, realizing he had forgotten this item. This thing can be exchanged for Mao Zedong's currency, whether in the Tang Dynasty or modern times, it is universally applicable. The vendor instantly felt that life was filled with hope

Jesus Christ! What a futile joy, by the time this algorithm is completed and the little monkey turns one year old, the weeds on my grave will probably have been cut down to make a coffin! What a joke!

For example, what?

What it means is that the items you brought back from the Tang Dynasty, such as calligraphy and paintings, when examined by experts here, will at most be deemed forgeries created using Tang Dynasty techniques, and thus are worthless, do you understand

Oh, when will you introduce me? I must tell you that when I was young, my favorite was the Great Sage. Just right, his child is still small, so I will bring some things to take a look!

The old man stared at the screen and replied, "Of course you can come back, it will only take you about three to four months!"

Finally, driven by the intuition of a small businessman, the vendor asked the question that concerned him the most: "Can I bring something to sell when I go to the Tang Dynasty?" This was something he learned from those who shop overseas. Just look at all the tourists who travel abroad; upon their return, who doesn't bring back bags, milk powder, toilet seats, and the like? This way, not only do they cover the cost of their round-trip tickets, but they also get a free vacation. Some even become wealthy from it. Therefore, the vendor also wanted to bring back some items from ancient times to sell casually, thus securing his initial capital. Many time travelers have made their fortunes by reselling such items! Imagine bringing back some calligraphy or paintings and selling them for ten or eight billion, driving a sports car while holding onto a beautiful companion. Just the thought of it makes one salivate!

The old man turned his head to watch the movie again, while the vendor sat on the bed, holding his head in his hands, lost in thought. Drawing from his years of reading experience, he needed to recall the circumstances of other time travelers. First, how did they travel? Lightning strikes, car accidents, mysterious caves, sudden fog, whirlpools at sea—these are all common occurrences. A more grandiose scenario involves being abducted by aliens, only for the aliens to realize they had made a mistake. Overcome with shame, the aliens would then use advanced technology to send the person back to ancient times. These individuals share a common trait: their departure is sudden and resolute, abandoning family and responsibilities. However, the vendor cannot do that; he still needs to honor his parents. If he cannot return, it would be better not to agree in the first place. "Old man, if I go to the Tang Dynasty, will I be able to come back?"

How is time converted between the heavens and the earth?

The plot construction is quite good, especially the gag about the protagonist wanting to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes. In the Qin Dynasty, how could you eat tomatoes? Those things only made it to China during the Qing Dynasty, right? I can't remember. The protagonist is also quite pitiful; in the Qin Dynasty, when he gets sick, he can't even have a familiar dish. But I can! When the time comes, I'll bring a few baskets of tomatoes. I'll stir-fry them, eat them raw, sprinkle some sugar on them to make a salad...! I will make you people from the Tang Dynasty, who have never seen tomatoes, drool with envy! I can't remember.

What is in the sky

It seems that the vendor indeed needs to read more books. In ancient times, people generally referred to official titles or place names, for example, Li Hefei refers to Li Hongzhang. Of course, Sima Nan is certainly not raising horses in Nanjing. "Please calm down, I am aware of this. Ignorance is no crime, right? So, do you mean that the Great Sage is still doing well up in the heavens?"

On the ground, if we calculate according to the heavens, would it still be meaningful for you to return after three or four months

Indeed! "Now I can rest assured!" After understanding the situation, the vendor began to compare himself with others who had crossed over. For others, it was akin to starting their own business, where everything depended on themselves. With good luck, they could have multiple wives and achieve high positions; with bad luck, they would end up in a primitive society, feeding wolves! His situation was different; he could at most be considered a market runner, with a company backing him up!

Additionally, bring some cold medicine; it would not be fun to catch a cold in ancient times, as traditional Chinese medicine is too bitter, right? A cold? One must admire the divergent thinking of the street vendor, as a sudden question has popped up. This question must be resolved before one can casually engage in time travel. The question is that with the current composition of the periodic table of elements in the Celestial Empire, one would not fear the pathogens of the Tang Dynasty. However, what if the pathogens on my body infect the people of the Tang Dynasty? How did the Maya civilization perish? What was the situation in the Middle Ages? Everyone understands; this question needs to be clarified!

"I have read little, what does it mean?" The vendor turned around sharply to look at the old immortal!

The old man calmed himself and said, "Well, that's just wonderful. In the first half of the year, Zixia even gave birth to a little monkey for him. He must be at home taking care of the child now!"

Through the layers of smoke, the vendor seemed to see a golden road beckoning to him. Once he becomes wealthy, he plans to build a large house, spacious enough to accommodate four huskies. He desires to have more beautiful women, both domestic and international, welcoming all, whether they are white or black, natural or artificial, seizing every opportunity... Oh dear... Life is such a mystery, life is such a reflection... Oh dear... Life is such a mystery, life is such a reflection...

To think that I can meet the Great Sage, it seems that working under the immortals is not so bad after all. The vendor began to count the days on his fingers; the little monkey is only seven or eight months old now, and in three or four months, he will be able to meet the little Great Sage. What an incredible piece of news this is! When the time comes, I must bring a camera, snapping photos on my left and right, and then show off in my WeChat moments! The vendor, lost in thoughts of a bright future, smiled mischievously, suddenly recalling a question: "Hey, old man, are you counting the months according to the sky or according to our local calendar?"

Is it settled

Sure, I will take you there when his child turns one year old

Sigh... The vendor immediately slumped on the bed like a deflated doll, completely devoid of energy and motivation! However, the old man's next words lifted his spirits again: "Calligraphy and paintings cannot be taken, but non-calligraphy and painting items, such as minerals, timber, and so on, for example..."

Thinking of beautiful women reminds me of those artificially created beauties from South Korea, resembling a continuous connection. The one named Kim Hee-sun is quite good; she even acted in a movie in the Celestial Empire, which seems to be called "Myth," also a time-travel story. It appears that time travel must involve beautiful women! Later, this movie was adapted into a television series, casting a young handsome man, Hu Ge, to play the role! At that time, the viewership ratings were quite good

One person leaned down and pulled out an unopened pack of Furongwang cigarettes from under the bed, opened it, and handed it to the old man, and the two of them started smoking again

After listening to the vendor, the immortal became even angrier. "It's all nonsense. The title of the Horse Manager is trivial, pure nonsense. Let me tell you, the Horse Manager is the one in charge of the heavenly cavalry. 'Horse' is just a general term. All creatures in the heavens with hooves that can form battle formations, except for the mounts of the great powers, are under his command. Do you know why? Because those with more hooves run faster. Just calculate for yourself, who in the heavens, besides his Cloud-Somersault, can outrun those beasts? Therefore, this official's position is quite significant, equivalent to the commander of your armored group. Do you understand? As for the 'Wen' in the title, you should read more books. It's a place name, just like Lü Bu's 'Wen Hou.' There is a famous Wenspring Mountain in the heavenly court, where the spring water is warm all year round, and the vegetation is lush. Thus, most livestock are raised there, which is why his title combines both an official position and a place name. To have it slandered by a bald donkey is outrageous. Bah!"

Golden! The old immortal emphasized his tone!

It is settled

One day in the heavens is equivalent to one year on earth
