Hancheng: There is a door between me and the future

Chapter 2 The first pot of gold?

……

……

a few days later.

After a period of exploration, Lin Xiuyuan finally confirmed a shocking fact: the new world he was in was indeed a parallel time and space, a parallel world from the future.

The time and space that originally belonged to him was 2013, and this time and space is 2025.

The span of twelve years is neither too many nor too few, just enough to go through a complete cycle of the zodiac.

What shocked him even more was that his "other self" who had died was exactly the same as him, whether it was the ID card, fingerprints or pupils.

It is through the scanning of fingerprints and pupils that he can open the safe belonging to "another self".

But when he saw the empty safe, he almost vomited blood in anger.

"Fuck! You live in such a luxurious place, but there's not a penny in the safe."

Lin Xiuyuan slapped the cabinet door, cursed a few words, then lowered his head to pick up the cash lying underneath, thinking to himself, they are all his anyway, it would be a waste if he took them.

After exploring the entire house, Lin Xiuyuan returned to the sofa on the first floor, looking at the courtyard and flowing water outside the window with a confused look, thinking about what to do next.

He knew that, generally speaking, being able to travel into the future and the past would make life worry-free.

However, there was something wrong with all this happening to him.

Because if the precious metals in the two time and space were not exactly the same, and he used the price difference between the past and the future to exchange some money, and paid off the outstanding balance for this house a few days ago, he probably wouldn't even be able to use the water, electricity, and gas of this self-built mansion.

After the small building had electricity, Lin Xiuyuan immediately used the computer to look up the 2013 lottery numbers, and then ran back to 2013 to place his bets, hoping to get rich overnight.

The result was a complete failure.

The result that the numbers didn’t match left Lin Xiuyuan confused for a long time.

Then I tried twice more, but the result was the same.

Finally, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly opened the stock market. After carefully comparing the trends of the two time and space, he was completely dumbfounded.

The data is completely different, the two space-times are truly parallel space-times.

But apart from these things, everything else is exactly the same, including the country, entertainment, the Internet, industry, etc.

This discovery was really hard for Lin Xiuyuan to accept. It completely cut off half of his foresight advantage. At least he would have to work harder to make money.

Especially the first pot of gold.

But for everyone, the first pot of gold is the hardest to accumulate.

You know, in terms of deposit amount, 1 to 1000 is easy, 1000 to 10000 is not difficult either, but 1 to 10 is enough to stop most families in the world, not to mention the amount above 10.

After surfing the Internet for the past two days, Lin Xiuyuan found that if he wanted to make money, it would definitely be easier in 2013 than in 2025.

However, the prerequisite for all this is to have start-up capital.

He sat on the sofa, racking his brains but unable to come up with any viable solution. He even wondered with some frustration whether he should just remove some of the soft furnishings in the house and sell it back to 2013.

With no other choice, he had to return to the old time (2013) and prepare to go to work.

I've taken a week off. If I don't go back to work to earn money, I'll probably have to dismantle it and sell it.

It was the same old brass handle, the same door.

Back in 2013, Lin Xiuyuan received a call. It was his iPhone 4S, which he had left behind. Thinking of the various electronic gadgets in the new space-time (2025), he walked over to answer the phone. "Hello, Xiaojie, what's going on?"

"What's wrong with you? You suddenly asked for a week-long vacation, leaving me working myself to death in the studio."

The person on the other end of the phone was an international student who was working and studying, named Xiao Jie, also a Chinese.

Xiao Jie's shout made Lin Xiuyuan smile, "Moving, tidying up and taking a break. But why did you call me today? Are you busy?"

He has been very sensitive to time recently and he knows very well that it is the weekend and the studio must be very busy.

Facing Lin Xiuyuan's inquiry, Xiao Jie was not vague and said directly, "Old Jintou asked me to call you to ask if you have finished your work. We are really short of manpower here this afternoon, so you have to come to work early to help."

Lin Xiuyuan glanced at the empty apartment and agreed, "Okay, I'll be there in a moment."

He has no advantages, but his execution ability is super strong.

He is the type of person who does what he says and what he wants to do. Even if it is wrong, he will do it first and talk about it later.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have decided to go abroad to work on impulse, and stayed in a youth hostel for a whole year.

After hanging up the phone, he quickly packed his things, took his wallet and ID card, left the apartment and rushed to the studio.

More than ten minutes later, Lin Xiuyuan walked out of the subway station and saw a familiar photography studio.

As soon as I walked in, Director Jin from the studio came to greet me, "You're finally here, Xiuyuan."

"Yeah." Lin Xiuyuan nodded.

"You need to go to Shed 2 to help out this time. The client is going to be important, so please keep an eye on him. Also, we need a gray base, is that okay?"

"no problem."

While answering, Lin Xiuyuan followed Manager Jin to Shed No. 2 and took over a new assistant intern.

The supervisor continued to give a few brief instructions and then turned and left.

Lin Xiuyuan was already accustomed to this working mode. He skillfully directed the interns to move equipment, adjust the lighting, and prepare everything in less than half an hour.

Studio 2, once a mess, was now neatly organized. The gray background was set up, the camera parameters were adjusted, and everything was ready, waiting for the photographer to come and shoot.

After finishing everything, Lin Xiuyuan found a corner to rest, took out his mobile phone to browse the news, and wondered if he could find a breakthrough to make money when he returned to 2025.

However, just as he was immersed in his thoughts, there was a sudden noise at the entrance of Shed No. 2.

Lin Xiuyuan looked over there curiously and happened to see the group of people walking in from outside.

The gorgeous figure surrounded in the middle stunned him. It was exactly the heroine of the news he saw in the Internet cafe two days ago.

Just as Lin Xiuyuan was lost in thought, the intern next to him jumped up excitedly, "Jessica? Wow, are we shooting Girls' Generation this time? Wow, wow, I'm so lucky."

At the same time, the 'first pot of gold' that had troubled Lin Xiuyuan for many days also surfaced.

At that moment, looking at Jessica who was being treated like a star over there, a crazy idea popped up in Lin Xiuyuan's mind. This idea instantly ignited his ambition. Perhaps, this was his fastest chance to achieve financial freedom.

It's just a little crazy.

But amidst the madness, there seem to be countless benefits hidden.

Money is only one aspect, beauty follows closely behind.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiuyuan's eyes gradually became sharp, and he stared at Jessica at the entrance like a hungry wolf staring at its prey.
