The Third Crossing

A few hours later, Li Mu Chuan arrived at the company.

"I'm here to resign."

Li Mu Chuan printed out his resignation letter directly. Due to the crossing incident, he hadn't had the time to focus on resigning before.

Today, he finally had some free time, so he quickly took care of the resignation.

There were still two days until the next crossing. During these two days, Li Mu Chuan needed to carefully consider what preparations he should make for the next time he crossed over.

"Are you really resigning?"

The supervisor looked at Li Mu Chuan, who was submitting his resignation without a word.

He couldn't help but frown. Li Mu Chuan had been working there for several years. If such a capable employee left just like that, it would be troublesome to find a replacement.

"Yes."

Li Mu Chuan nodded, looking determined to leave.

Seeing this, the supervisor had no choice but to sigh and approve it.

There wasn't much to pack at the company. When payday came, Li Mu Chuan's half-month salary would be deposited into his card, so he didn't need to worry about that.

After leaving the company, Li Mu Chuan checked his balance.

Thirteen thousand yuan. This was because the company had just issued the half-year bonus. If it weren't for this bonus, his savings wouldn't even be this much.

His monthly salary was so little. After deducting expenses for food, rent, phone bills, electricity bills, transportation, and other miscellaneous things, he really couldn't save any money.

He had originally thought that his life might just pass by like this, and that houses and cars would be out of his reach.

But he hadn't expected such a good thing as a heaven-sent golden finger.

Although the unknown world was dangerous, it also presented opportunities. Whether his life could change depended on this.

Thinking of this, Li Mu Chuan's heart, which had been somewhat subdued, suddenly filled with passion.

Based on his experience from the previous two crossings, everything except the clothes he was wearing would be left behind when he crossed over.

It was the same when he returned.

Even if he put things inside his clothes, it would be the same.

He had already tested this.

However, he wondered if equipment like bulletproof vests were within the scope of what could be carried?

After thinking for a moment, Li Mu Chuan decided to buy a set of protective gear. Cold weapons couldn't be carried, but he would try bringing protective gear.

With this in mind, Li Mu Chuan spent a large sum of money to buy a Soft Armor. The Soft Armor looked no different from ordinary clothes.

However, it had added functions of being stab-resistant and slash-resistant.

But this one wasn't cheap, costing Li Mu Chuan over two thousand yuan.

After buying leg protectors as well, Li Mu Chuan's balance instantly plummeted.

Looking at the less than ten thousand yuan he had left, Li Mu Chuan gritted his teeth and went to a gold shop.

He had no idea which world he would be going to this time, but whether it was ancient or modern, if there was gold, he could exchange it for some money.

No matter where he went, he would need some startup capital.

As long as he wasn't in the wilderness, gold should be useful.

Thinking this, Li Mu Chuan steeled his resolve and directly added the remaining two points to his space.

With this, Li Mu Chuan's personal space reached three, allowing him to store gold slightly thicker than chopsticks.

Li Mu Chuan bought 30 grams of gold and put it in his personal space.

These 30 grams cost Li Mu Chuan over nine thousand yuan, leaving him with only a few hundred yuan.

Li Mu Chuan looked at this scene and felt like crying.

The little money he had finally saved was now almost gone.

By the time Li Mu Chuan finished all this and returned to his rented room, it was already dark.

Counting the time, July was almost over, and it was almost time to pay the rent.

If he didn't gain anything from this trip to the new world, he would truly have to sleep on the streets.

At night, Li Mu Chuan lay in bed.

Although it wasn't time to travel yet, the anxiety and curiosity in his heart kept Li Mu Chuan awake.

Li Mu Chuan scrolled through his phone, wanting to see if he had missed anything.

On WeChat, he had already been kicked out of the company group.

This was normal procedure, nothing to be surprised about. He estimated that several colleagues in the company had probably deleted him as well.

Li Mu Chuan was too lazy to verify who had deleted him.

In the university group, a group of university classmates were bragging.

They had been working for a few years and had already bought cars and houses, achieving financial freedom.

Some people were showing off their cars, traveling in Sanya, chartering yachts, and even bringing five or six tall girls.

They didn't show the girls' faces, as if they had accidentally captured these girls in the photos.

However, looking at the girls' figures, their looks probably weren't bad either.

The person who sent these pictures was a male classmate from university named Gu Mingqiu.

He used to be relatively familiar with Li Mu Chuan, but not long after graduating from university, he heard that his family's house was demolished and they received a lot of money.

So, a young man from an ordinary family suddenly became a proper rich person.

After that, Li Mu Chuan's relationship with him gradually became estranged, the kind that just suddenly became distant.

When he was in university, he saw many second-generation rich people showing off their wealth. The most frequent thing Gu Mingqiu said was, "If I had their money, I'd be crazier than them."

He didn't hate the rich, and even felt that there was nothing wrong with them showing off their wealth.

Now, it seemed that Gu Mingqiu was true to his word. After becoming rich, the frequency of him showing off his wealth in the group was not too low.

Li Mu Chuan looked at the guy's smug expression and couldn't help but shake his head.

Looking at the countdown in front of him, he wondered if his golden finger could make him better than Gu Mingqiu.

Gu Mingqiu: "I say, everyone doesn't come out to talk much anymore. If we don't talk more, our feelings will fade quickly."

Li Mu Chuan: "Everyone is quite busy, I guess. After all, they have to work, unlike you who won't have to worry for the rest of your life."

Li Mu Chuan was also bored and rarely popped up.

Gu Mingqiu: "Oh, you haven't popped up for a long time. Where are you working recently? How is your job?"

Li Mu Chuan...

No wonder no one wants to talk to this guy. Bragging about wealth is one thing.

As soon as he opens his mouth, he asks about work. If someone's job isn't going well or their salary isn't high, why would they want to answer?

Li Mu Chuan: "It's just a job where I muddle along, waiting to die. There's really nothing to talk about."

After replying, Li Mu Chuan didn't pay attention to the group anymore and continued to focus on his important matter of crossing over.

Finally, with a mix of anticipation and nervousness, two days quietly passed for Li Mu Chuan.

Watching the red countdown in front of him finally reach zero, Li Mu Chuan took a deep breath.

Feeling a dizzying sensation in front of him, the next moment Li Mu Chuan opened his eyes, the scene before him was no longer his rented room.

Looking around, the surroundings had clearly changed completely.

The sight of a thousand miles of barren land and desolate terrain made Li Mu Chuan's heart suddenly jump.

Could it be that he had arrived in ancient times?
