Xu Che was stunned: "Then why...?"

"It's just because you're so unlucky."

Lin Yan's voice was flat, as if he were talking about something very ordinary: "The timing of your time travel was wrong, the location was wrong, and the follow-up actions were wrong. If I hadn't taken action, you would have died."

Xu Che opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

The person in front of him not only knew that he was a time traveler, but also knew everything that had happened since he came to this world.

"You...you know about time travel?" His voice was very soft. "You're...you're a time traveler too?"

Lin Yan didn't answer, but just looked at him. His eyes were bright, but Xu Che noticed that the light wasn't cold, it was warm.

Lin Yan picked up the bowl, took a sip of water, and then put it down.

"Yes."

One word, very soft, but Xu Che heard it.

"Really?! Can you take me back?"

Xu Che didn't want to stay in this place for even a day longer. Everyone said that time travel was great, but when he time traveled here, he was either beaten or scared.

Lin Yan smiled at Xu Che's eager expression: "What, don't you want to make a name for yourself here and become someone important?"

"No, no, even the most powerful people in ancient times, like the emperor, couldn't even order takeout. They didn't have antibiotics for a cold, and they didn't even have toilet paper. I don't think they lived as well as an ordinary person in modern times."

Xu Che shook his head: "Look at what we're eating now. Even pigs back in my hometown would say it tastes awful."

"And yet you still eat so much."

"Isn't it because I'm hungry?" Xu Che blushed.

"Can we go back or not...?" Xu Che hesitated for a moment, swallowed the "you" and replaced it with "big brother".

After chatting for a while, Xu Che relaxed. The other party didn't seem to want to harm him and had even saved him.

"No," Lin Yan replied directly.

Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Xu Che's face immediately fell: "Am I supposed to live my whole life in this ancient world where there aren't even cell phones?"

"Not necessarily." Lin Yan took out a small piece of silver from his pocket and tossed it to the shopkeeper.

"Although you can't go back to your original world, you have the opportunity to go to other worlds." Lin Yan took the copper coin and put it into his clothes.

"Go to another world? How do we go?" Xu Che perked up again when he heard that he could go to another world, and he even lifted his butt off the stool.

"You'll know when the opportunity comes," Lin Yan said, not answering directly, but instead asking other questions.

"What's your cheat code?"

Xu Che paused for a moment, unsure whether to say, "Uh..."

Xu Che looked at Lin Yan, and those warm eyes made him make up his mind.

"It's...it's a farm," he said softly.

"A farm?" Lin Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, QQ Farm, it's that kind of... farming game."

Xu Che scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. "Right now, I can only grow white radishes. They can be harvested in four hours. I sell the seeds and plant more. That's all. I don't know how to do anything else."

Lin Yan remained silent for a while, his gaze lingering on Xu Che's brow for a long time, making Xu Che feel uneasy.

"Not bad. I remember the farm later on also linked with the ranch and fishpond, so at least in this ancient world you won't have to worry about food and drink."

"Hehe." Xu Che smiled awkwardly. Other people's golden fingers either give them endless money or extraordinary strength, but all he gets is not having to worry about food and drink.

"You're not bad at all; you even have a cheat code. Many people don't even have a cheat code." Lin Yan thought of Zhang Jingyuan and Liu Ming.

"Have you met any other time travelers?" Xu Che asked curiously.

"I've seen it. Okay, that's too far removed from your life. Let's get down to business." Lin Yan changed the subject: "Can I take a look at your cheat system?"

"Research?" Xu Che was stunned.

"Yes." Lin Yan's voice was flat, as if he were talking about something very ordinary. "As payment, I can provide a talisman from the world of Jackie Chan Adventures."

Without thinking, Xu Che blurted out, "Dog Talisman!"

"Your cheat ability isn't worth a dog charm." Lin Yan smiled. The dog charm was indeed one of the best of the twelve charms.

Xu Che was a little embarrassed: "It's not worth it..."

"Chicken, ox, snake, rabbit, rat, dragon, you can choose one of these six talismans." Lin Yan raised his hand, and the six talismans floated in his hand, emitting a faint glow.

"Floating in mid-air, immense strength, invisibility, speed, turning stillness into motion, explosions—each one is incredibly useful in this world..."

Xu Che hesitated for a long time before finally looking at Lin Yan and asking, "Can we exchange them for two?"

"Okay, but you'll have to pay a higher price." Lin Yan did not refuse.

"What price?"

"Your cheat code might disappear."

"Then let's forget about it," Xu Che said with an awkward smile.

Although talismans are powerful, they are ultimately just external objects. Historically, there have been examples of invincible figures who perished and died because their weapons were stolen.

Although the farm is not very useful now, it has great potential in the future and it won't be taken away by anyone... Xu Che glanced at Lin Yan and thought, it won't be taken away by anyone easily.

"Have you thought it through?" Lin Yan asked.

Xu Che gritted his teeth and glanced at the six floating talismans.

"The Rabbit Talisman." He pointed to the pale gold rune. "I choose the Rabbit Talisman."

Lin Yan looked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips: "You seem to have thought things through."

He raised his hand and waved it, and the rabbit talisman floated up from his palm and slowly landed in front of Xu Che.

The runestone glowed with a pale golden light, and the rabbit pattern on it was simple yet full of charm.

Xu Che took the rabbit talisman with both hands. The moment the talisman touched his palms, the rabbit pattern glowed with golden light, and a surge of power flowed into his body.

Xu Che tried to take a step, but as soon as he took his first step, he darted away. The next second, the pedestrians on the street seemed to move as slowly as if they were still, and he himself was blown away by the wind, his eyes watering.

"ah!!!"

Xu Che's screams faded into the distance.

"Slow down." Lin Yan's voice came from behind, with a hint of a smile.

In the distance, Xu Che squatted on the ground, rubbing his face and grinning foolishly, "This is too fast..."

After recovering for a while, Xu Che stood up: "Um... when will the research begin?"

"Now."

Lin Yan raised his hand and touched Xu Che's brow with his fingertips.

Xu Che felt a chill seep into his brow, like a drop of ice water on his forehead. He wanted to dodge, but his body wouldn't move. The chill traveled deeper into his brow, reaching a warm, cuddly place where something seemed to be asleep.

"Don't move." Lin Yan's voice was very soft, as if it were echoing in his mind.

Xu Che dared not move.

He could only feel the chill swirling around in his mind, then slowly receding.

Lin Yan withdrew his hand.

"alright?"

"Alright." Lin Yan nodded.

Xu Che touched his forehead, but couldn't find anything.

He glanced at Lin Yan, then at the rabbit talisman, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Um... can I choose a second talisman now?"

Lin Yan glanced at him.

"Don't be too greedy." He paused. "You'll have it if you have the chance."
