Chapter 697 How to Defeat the Traveler

Guo Zhengtao's second uncle looked at the seven full buckets of fish at Malu's feet, and then looked at the bag of bait he brought with him.

While everyone was helping to catch catfish, I secretly poured out half of the bait.

His bait was homemade, made by grinding soybeans, corn grits, shrimp skins, wheat bran and other things together. It wouldn't kill people, but it would cause choking.

When everyone carried the catfish ashore, Guo Zhengtao was shocked to see that his second uncle only had half a bag of bait left in his hand.

"No, uncle, you really eat it!"

Guo Zhengtao's second uncle was originally just preparing for a rainy day, worried that someone would remember the bold words he had made before. However, after hearing his eldest nephew's shout, everyone noticed that half of the bait in his hand was missing, and they thought he had eaten it.

Guo Zhengtao reached out and grabbed the remaining half bag of bait without saying anything. He was angry and amused. "Hey, everyone knows that it was just a joke. Why did you take it seriously, and you didn't say anything, just showing off half a bag."

Uncle Guo looked embarrassed. He wanted to explain but couldn't say that he had dumped it secretly. In the end, he could only agree with Guo Zhengtao's statement, adding another legend to the fishing circle.

After exercising by the river, Millipede went home, took a bath, and took a nap. When he woke up, he felt refreshed again.

Well, life is like a train. People get on and off at every station. You can't stop others from getting off. You can only enjoy every journey.

This has always been Malu's philosophy of life, to control what can be controlled and not be sad about things that cannot be controlled.

Considering that he might have to come into contact with a time traveler and that a conflict might occur, Malu decided to use the remaining time to make some preparations in advance.

But then again, how should we prepare for a time traveler?

Logically speaking, the person who should know the answer to this question is Ma Youyou, because she is also a time traveler. However, every time Ma Lu talked to her about time travel, she would change the subject after just a few words.

According to Ma Youyou, time travel is a very dangerous thing. Most time travelers can only go back to the past but cannot go to the future. Moreover, once the past is changed, even if it is just a small change, it is possible to create a new timeline.

These timelines are entangled with each other like a ball of hair, and together constitute the time in the eyes of the time traveler.

The timeline that Ma Youyou is in is both related to and different from the timeline that Ma Lu is in now.

Because she was worried that it would affect Malu's timeline, Ma Youyou only leaked some information when they met in order to confirm her identity as a future visitor. After that, no matter how much Malu tried to ask, she would not talk about things in the other timeline again.

In particular, Malu wants to know the trends of stocks and cryptocurrencies the most.

This time, facing another potential time traveler, she was as unhelpful as ever and knew nothing about anything.

Malu can only rely on himself and post on the Internet

——How to defeat a time traveler.

Perhaps people were getting a little tired of arguing every day about whether giving Zhuge Liang two hundred Tyrannosaurus Rex would lead to a successful Northern Expedition, and soon someone sent a reply under the post.

——You can't defeat a time traveler, because even if you defeat him, he can go back in time and find a way to defeat you.

——The author of the original post is an idiot. He just keeps asking stupid questions like this. This forum is hopeless.

——Okay, just kill him and he won’t come back to you.

Someone else left a message, and 10 minutes later, when the post was about to be forgotten, the person reappeared and left another message on the 4th floor. ——Did you kill him?

Malu typing
——Not yet. Is there a more civilized way? We live in a society ruled by law.

——Then you hand it over to the country, but theoretically he can still go back to the past and escape.

- Don't listen to their nonsense. Even if time travel really exists, there is no way to change the result, otherwise a paradox will occur. So theoretically, as long as you defeat him, no matter how many times he travels through time, he will not be able to defeat you no matter what means he uses.

Someone else put forward a new idea.

——Why are people still obsessed with time travel? Didn't Hawking hold a party in 09 and invite time travelers? He sent out invitations after the party and announced the time and place. If a time traveler saw it, he could travel back to the night of the party and attend the party. But guess what, there was no one at the party.

——Going back upstairs, is it possible that time travelers don’t want to attend a party hosted by a crippled lolita lover?

——That’s right, if I were a time traveler, I would definitely not want others to know that I am a time traveler.

——If I were a time traveler, I would kill Columbus.

—Dude, why do you want to kill Columbus?

——This is the fastest way to bring peace to the world.

——Then I want to kill Zhang He.

——What did Zhang He do to you?

——In this way, even without the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Zhuge Liang would have been able to successfully launch the Northern Expedition.

The post quickly went off topic, and netizens began to argue about whether Zhuge Liang could succeed in his Northern Expedition after Zhang He's death.

Malu tried to pull it back twice but failed, so he had to give up. The next day, when Malu opened the post again, he found that it had more than 400 replies, mainly because there were two nitpickers in it.

They were evenly matched and argued with each other for two hundred floors, contributing almost half of the replies, until they were both banned.

Malu took a quick look at the replies and found that people were basically divided into two camps. One camp believed that time travelers were immortal, and even if they died, as long as they could see the future, they could change the future.

Another group believes that time travelers can do nothing but observe, because no matter how hard they try, there will always be a force in the universe that will make everything return to its original result.

Malu felt that what they said made sense. He was not sure about the specific situation, but the good news was that at least so far, Qi Yu had not come to find him.

This means that either Qi Yu cannot change history, or the two sides had a good talk tonight, and Qi Yu helped Ma Youyou return to her timeline.

Soon, the last dish was sold out. Malu looked at the time and it was only three o'clock in the afternoon.

He had been wearing Bruce Lee's flip-flops all day, with a protective scarf given by the sorceress around his neck, and was on high alert in the restaurant.

But nothing happened until 5:10.

Later, Malu received a message from Qi Yu saying that he had left the house and was on his way to the restaurant, and would arrive in half an hour.

Malu breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the plan was going smoothly. He glanced at Ma Youyou beside him and found that the latter was biting his nails.
